第两千三百零七章 封印法阵

A gentle breeze swept across, and the entire desert returned to its tranquil state.

Two demons had been pulled deep underground, but on the surface, there was no trace of them, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead, a rare look of seriousness appearing on his face.

"Sky Wolf Spider, should be correct. I never expected to encounter such spirit insects in this desert," Lin Xuan murmured, his voice entering my ears.

When these spiders first appeared, they caused chaos in the storage room, and even Lin Xuan failed to immediately recognize their origins.

However, after escaping, with time for reflection, Lin Xuan had read about Spirit Control Techniques, so he recognized the origin of this demonic insect.

Sky Wolf Spider was also a unique bizarre creature from the wilderness.

And among these bizarre creatures, it stood out.

Its characteristics were somewhat similar to the Blood Sharp Ants Lin Bai cultivated—numerous in number but not particularly powerful individually. However, when their numbers reached a certain level, even Core Formation and even Spirit Transformation cultivators would take notice.

But why would there be Sky Wolf Spiders here?

Were they wild demonic insects or controlled by someone?

Considering his encounter, Lin Xuan leaned towards the latter.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he focused his silver light down. However, he found nothing, for the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes were not all-powerful and were blocked by an eerie force after delving a few feet underground, unable to probe further.

Lin Xuan frowned but did not lose heart. He closed his eyes and released his extremely powerful divine sense.

However, encountering the same resistance, this force not only nullified the secret technique of Spirit Eyes but also prevented divine sense from penetrating.

But this indicated that there was indeed some mystery beneath his feet.

At this moment, Lin Xuan had two choices: either pretend nothing happened and leave or stay to investigate further.

Leaving would be safer, yet he might miss an opportunity. Although Lin Xuan planned to seclude himself for intensive cultivation, he wasn't afraid of trouble. Without a bit of adventurous spirit, why would he be in the cultivation world? The path to immortality was fraught with danger and opportunity.

Thus, after a brief thought, Lin Xuan decided what to do.

He flicked his sleeve, and a streak of green light shot out. As it flashed by, the sand within several miles around was cleared away.

"Ah, this is..."

When the sand was swept away, revealing something beneath, Lin Xuan was taken aback, feeling quite surprised.

It turned out to be an array.

The design was intricate, with numerous mysterious runes inscribed on it. It also had many crystal treasures embedded within. From its layout, it could absorb magical energy from the air to replenish depleted crystals.

"Sealing Array!"

Since Lin Xuan started his cultivation journey, he had a broad knowledge of various techniques, though not an expert in arrays. He recognized this array's purpose without any surprise.

Lin Xuan's face showed deep thought once more.

Knowing that it was a sealing array, Lin Xuan understood its usual functions were two-fold.

Firstly, to seal powerful demons and monsters.

But here, the place itself was already demonic...

Of course, there could be another reason: capturing an enemy but not wanting to kill them outright. Thus, using this sealing method would keep him confined here.

The second function was more tempting.

It allowed cultivators to bury a large amount of treasures here to prevent the leakage of spiritual energy, hence the use of sealing arrays.

Considering the recently appeared Sky Wolf Spiders, the first possibility seemed more likely. But what did that matter? Even if some powerful demon were sealed here, it didn't mean he wouldn't gain something by investigating further.

Before that, he must first break this sealing array.

Lin Xuan was too lazy to think about it in detail; any array could be broken with brute force.

With his mind made up, Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and dozens of sword lights swam out from his sleeve.

Following the wind, they flashed and multiplied—three turned into nine, quickly increasing to nearly a thousand...

Covering the entire sky, these sword lights grew as they faced the wind, each reaching several dozen feet in length.

Red light surged forth; all the sword lights Lin Xuan summoned were of fire attributes.

"Quickly!"

Lin Xuan pointed his finger forward. Before he could finish speaking, those sword lights moved swiftly, like a surging sea, rushing towards the surface and toward the ground. The sealing array seemed to feel the pressure as black light surged up, transforming into countless varying-sized tentacles that wrapped around the sword lights.

Whizzing sounds filled my ears; these tentacles were no weaklings, blocking most of the sword lights.

Lin Xuan frowned, raising his right hand again and summoning more sword lights. This cycle repeated until the array's magical energy was nearly exhausted.

Finally, all the sword lights converged in the middle.

A giant sword several dozen feet long appeared before Lin Xuan, its red light glaring with immense spiritual pressure, slicing down...

Boom!

The explosion echoed as the array's remaining magical energy was weak and easily broken. The ground shattered, splattering in all directions, completely destroying the array.

Lin Xuan's face showed caution, wary of any demonic creatures emerging from within. The Sky Wolf Spiders had left a deep impression on him, so he wasn't taking anything for granted.

However, this time, his worries were unfounded.

The sealing array was broken, but no strange phenomena occurred, and no monsters emerged from underground. As the dust settled, a dark hole appeared before Lin Xuan's eyes.

This hole was pitch-black, deep beyond measure. Even with his divine sense, it was blocked by an enigmatic force, making him unable to know what lay within. He could only vaguely see some steps.

Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead and again showed signs of contemplation. But given his nature, he would not give up halfway. After a brief hesitation, Lin Xuan slowly descended the steps.

The staircase was long; it took about a quarter of an hour for him to reach light at the bottom.

A round hall appeared before his eyes.

With a diameter of several dozen feet, it wasn't particularly spacious but spotless inside. The stone walls were adorned with gems that emitted soft glows.

At first glance, everything seemed normal, yet Lin Xuan's face showed some oddity. Not only was there no trace of the Sky Wolf Spiders, but even the two ancient demons who had been captured were nowhere to be found.

Lin Xuan frowned as he looked around, noticing a stone door on his left side in this chamber, leading somewhere unknown.
