良久，林轩抬起头，脸上露出若有所思之色，以手抚额，沉吟片刻，随后浑身惊虹大起，向着左侧飞了过去。随?夢?小?說?,.com
After a long while, Lin Xuan raised his head and looked thoughtful. He rubbed his forehead with one hand as he pondered for a moment before the aura around him surged dramatically, and he flew to the left.
“ jiù shì zhè lǐ 。”
“就是这里。”
"Right here."
yǔ lín xuān hái zài fèi jìn xīn sī xún lù bù tóng ， nà duì bù zhī lái lì de shén mì gǔ mó ， jìn zhǎn yào bǐ tā shùn lì xǔ duō ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yǐ zhǎo dào xiǎng yào de mù dì dì 。
与林轩还在费尽心思寻路不同，那队不知来历的神秘古魔，进展要比他顺利许多，此时此刻，已找到想要的目的地。
Unlike Lin Xuan who was still struggling to find the way, the group of mysterious ancient demons had made much more progress. They had already found their destination.
“ shī xiōng ， nǐ shuō nà shàng gǔ xiū shì de yí jì jiù zài zhè lǐ ？” zhōng nián gǔ mó yóu mù sì gù ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn huái yí ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā men shēn zài yī bīng yuán ， hán fēng cì gǔ ， dāng rán ， duì yú xiū xiān zhě lái shuō ， zhè diǎn hán lěng suàn bù liǎo shén me 。
“师兄，你说那上古修士的遗迹就在这里？”中年古魔游目四顾，脸上露出几分怀疑，此时此刻，他们身在一冰原，寒风刺骨，当然，对于修仙者来说，这点寒冷算不了什么。
"Younger Brother, you think that the ruins of the ancient cultivator are right here?" The middle-aged ancient demon looked around with a doubtful expression on his face. They were in an icy plain where the cold wind cut like needles. For cultivators, this was nothing to worry about.
ér zài zhè bái máng máng de bīng yuán shàng ， hái yǒu jǐ zuò guāng tū tū de huǒ shān ， suī rán huǒ shān kǒu mào zhe yān ， bù guò hǎo dǎi méi yǒu chǔ yú pēn fā zhuàng tài 。
而在这白茫茫的冰原上，还有几座光秃秃的火山，虽然火山口冒着烟，不过好歹没有处于喷发状态。
Several bare volcanoes stood out amidst the white expanse, smoke still rising from their mouths though they weren't erupting at the moment.
biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， shí fēn qí tè ， rán ér bīng yán gǔ ， lèi sì de dì xíng dì mào qí shí hěn duō ， zài zhè lǐ ， bīng yǔ huǒ gòng cún ， nà shì zài zhèng cháng bù guò ， yǎn qián ， gēn běn jiù kàn bù chū fēn háo chū qí ， gǔ xiū shì de yí jì ， zhēn de huì zài zhè lǐ 。
表面上看，十分奇特，然而冰炎谷，类似的地形地貌其实很多，在这里，冰与火共存，那是再正常不过，眼前，根本就看不出分毫出奇，古修士的遗迹，真的会在这里。
On the surface, it seemed peculiar, but ice and fire coexisting in Ice Flame Valley was not uncommon. There was no sign of anything unusual here; the ruins of an ancient cultivator could indeed be right here.
“ nǐ fàng xīn ， lǎo fū zhè me shuō ， zì rán shì yǒu shí zú de bǎ wò 。” nà jiū miàn lǎo zhě xìn xīn shí zú de kāi kǒu le ， kàn dé chū ， xīn qíng bù cuò 。
“你放心，老夫这么说，自然是有十足的把握。”那鸠面老者信心十足的开口了，看得出，心情不错。
"Don't worry, I have full confidence in what I say," said the old man with a bird-like face confidently. He looked pleased.
suí hòu dùn guāng yī liǎn ， jiàng luò xià lái ， zhōng nián gǔ mó suī rán xīn cún yí huò ， dàn shī xiōng jì rán zhè me kěn dìng ， dāng rán yě bù hǎo duō shuō ， tóng yàng shì shōu liǎn dùn guāng ， luò dào le dì shàng 。
随后遁光一敛，降落下来，中年古魔虽然心存疑惑，但师兄既然这么肯定，当然也不好多说，同样是收敛遁光，落到了地上。
With that, his aura dissipated and he landed. The middle-aged ancient demon was still skeptical but since his elder brother was so sure, he didn't say much more. They too concealed their aura and landed on the ground.
zhì yú qí tā de dòng xuán qī gǔ mó ， gèng bù yòng tí ， yě fēn fēn luò dào dì shàng 。
至于其他的洞玄期古魔，更不用提，也纷纷落到地上。
The other ancient demons of the Cave Profound stage also descended to the ground.
jiū miàn lǎo zhě mù guāng zài sì chù sǎo guò ， zuì hòu luò zài shēn qián de nà zuò huǒ shān shàng le 。
鸠面老者目光在四处扫过，最后落在身前的那座火山上了。
The old man with a bird-like face scanned around before settling his gaze on one of the volcanoes in front of him.
cǐ shān bìng bù shèn gāo yě jiù liù qī bǎi zhàng ， guài shí lín xún ， cóng dǐng bù hái bù tíng de mào chū nóng yān yǔ huǒ guāng 。
此山并不甚高也就六七百丈，怪石嶙峋，从顶部还不停的冒出浓烟与火光。
This mountain wasn't very high, only about six or seven hundred feet. It was covered with strange rocks and smoke still rose from its peak.
suí hòu lǎo zhě shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， cóng tā de bèi hòu ， mào chū gǔn gǔn de mó qì ， nà xiē mó qì wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， yī tuán hēi hū hū de guāng yǐng chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ kāi shǐ hái yǒu diǎn mó hú ， rán ér suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， què shì yuè lái yuè qīng xī 。
随后老者双手抬起，从他的背后，冒出滚滚的魔气，那些魔气往中间一聚，一团黑乎乎的光影出现在视线里开始还有点模糊，然而随着时间的推移，却是越来越清晰。
With both hands raised, the old man's aura surged out from behind him. The magic aura gathered together to form a dark shadow that gradually became clearer as time passed.
yí gè jù rén de lún kuò chéng xiàn zài le yǎn lián lǐ 。
一个巨人的轮廓呈现在了眼帘里。
A giant figure appeared before their eyes.
fǎ xiàng ！
法相！
A Dharmic Form!
rán ér yǔ yì bān de fǎ xiàng xiāng bǐ ， què wěi shí tài dà le xiē ， gāo sān bǎi zhàng yǒu yú ， nà zhōng nián gǔ mó de liǎn shàng yě lù chū yī sī hài rán zhī sè shī xiōng shén me shí hòu jiāng jù rén fǎ xiàng xiū liàn dào rú cǐ chū shén rù huà de dì bù 。
然而与一般的法相相比，却委实太大了些，高三百丈有余，那中年古魔的脸上也露出一丝骇然之色师兄什么时候将巨人法相修炼到如此出神入化的地步。
However, compared to ordinary Dharmic Forms, this one was much larger, towering over three hundred feet tall. The middle-aged ancient demon's face showed a hint of shock. When had his elder brother mastered such an exquisite Dharmic Form?
zhǐ jiàn nà jù rén shēn xíng yī dǒu ， yǐ jīng huà wèi yī tuán mó qì ， fēi dào le huǒ shān de miàn qián ， suí hòu zhāng kāi shuāng bì ， jiāng nà shān fēng bào zài le huái lǐ 。
只见那巨人身形一抖，已经化为一团魔气，飞到了火山的面前，随后张开双臂，将那山峰抱在了怀里。
The giant figure shook and turned into a mass of magic aura, flying in front of the volcano before embracing it with its arms.
yī shēng dà hē ， rú tóng jīng léi bān chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hōng lōng lóng ， dì biǎo kāi shǐ jù liè de chàn dòng ， suí hòu bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn le 。
一声大喝，如同惊雷般传入耳朵，轰隆隆，地表开始剧烈的颤动，随后不可思议的一幕出现了。
A thunderous roar echoed through their ears as the ground trembled violently. A miraculous scene unfolded.
nà huǒ shān jū rán bá dì ér qǐ rú guǒ huàn chéng fán rén ， nà shì jué bù kě néng dì ， rán ér duì yú xiū xiān zhě lì bá shān xī ， què jué fēi jǐn jǐn shì chuán shuō ér yǐ 。
那火山居然拔地而起如果换成凡人，那是绝不可能地，然而对于修仙者力拔山兮，却绝非仅仅是传说而已。
The volcano actually rose from the ground. If this were to happen to ordinary people, it would be impossible. But for cultivators, lifting mountains was far more than just a legend.
yòu shì yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì nà shān fēng bèi bá qǐ hòu hěn hěn de diū zài dì shàng le ， zhěng gè dà dì ， tóu shì yī zhèn chàn dǒu ， yí gè dà kēng ， yìng shēng shēng de chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng 。
又是一声巨响传入耳朵，却是那山峰被拔起后狠狠的丢在地上了，整个大地，头是一阵颤抖，一个大坑，硬生生的出现在视线中。
Another loud noise entered their ears as the mountain peak was thrown down heavily onto the ground. The entire earth trembled, and a large pit appeared in front of them.
bù guò jiū miàn lǎo zhě què shì sī háo yě bù guān xīn zhè ge ， tā de yǎn jīng ， jǐn jǐn dīng zháo huǒ shān gāng cái suǒ zài de wèi zhì ， xià miàn yī jiù shì bīng yuán rán ér què chū xiàn le yī tiáo zhǎng shí yú zhàng ， kuān yě yǒu liǎng sān zhàng de liè fèng 。
不过鸠面老者却是丝毫也不关心这个，他的眼睛，紧紧盯着火山刚才所在的位置，下面依旧是冰原然而却出现了一条长十余丈，宽也有两三丈的裂缝。
But the old man with a bird-like face paid no attention to this. His eyes fixed on where the volcano had been. Below, it was still an icy plain, but there was a crack several dozen feet long and two or three feet wide.
lǐ miàn hēi gū lōng dōng de què lǐ miàn bù tíng de chuī chū hán fēng 。
里面黑咕隆咚的却里面不停的吹出寒风。
Inside, it was pitch black, but cold air constantly blew out from within.
“ shī xiōng ！”
“师兄！”
"Elder Brother!"
nà zhōng nián gǔ mó zhāng dà le kǒu ， liǎn shàng yǐn lù xǐ sè ， dāng shān fēng bèi yí kāi yǐ hòu ， guǒ rán gǎn jué dào le jìn zhì de bō dòng ， kàn lái ， zì jǐ zhè yī huí ， hái zhēn shì bó duì le ， zhèng rú shī xiōng suǒ yán ， zhè lǐ ， guǒ rán yǒu yī gǔ xiū de yí jì 。
那中年古魔张大了口，脸上隐露喜色，当山峰被移开以后，果然感觉到了禁制的波动，看来，自己这一回，还真是搏对了，正如师兄所言，这里，果然有一古修的遗迹。
The middle-aged ancient demon opened his mouth in surprise as he saw the mountain peak being moved away. Sure enough, he felt the波动 of the禁制. It seemed they had made the right bet this time. As his elder brother said, there was indeed an ancient cultivator's ruins here.
rú cǐ yǐn bì ， yòu shì wèi yú chuán shuō zhōng de jìn dì bīng yán gǔ lǐ ， xiǎng bì ， huì shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
如此隐蔽，又是位于传说中的禁地冰炎谷里，想必，会是非同小可。
So hidden and located within the legendary Ice Flame Valley, it must be something significant.
nà xiē dòng xuán qī gǔ mó ， liǎn shàng tóng yàng lù chū xīn xǐ zhī sè ， suī rán tā men zhǐ shì pèi cūn jué sè ， dàn shī fù shī shū chī ròu ， zì jǐ zhè xiē rén ， duō shǎo hái shì néng hē yī xiē tāng de 。
那些洞玄期古魔，脸上同样露出欣喜之色，虽然他们只是配村角色，但师父师叔吃肉，自己这些人，多少还是能喝一些汤的。
The other ancient demons also showed signs of joy on their faces. Although they were just supporting characters, if the teachers and aunts got to eat the meat, at least they could drink some soup too.
“ zǒu ba ！”
“走吧！”
"Let's go!"
nà jiū miàn lǎo zhě shú mén shú lù ， liǎn shàng fēn háo méi yǒu yóu yù shén me ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jiù tiào jìn le nà liè fèng lǐ miàn ， qí tā gǔ mó jiàn le ， suī rán xīn zhōng duō shǎo yǒu diǎn dí gū ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě róng bù dé tā men yóu yù ， fēn fēn yǒu yàng xué yàng de tiào rù le nà liè fèng lǐ 。
那鸠面老者熟门熟路，脸上分毫没有犹豫什么，身形一闪，就跳进了那裂缝里面，其他古魔见了，虽然心中多少有点嘀咕，然而此时此刻，也容不得他们犹豫，纷纷有样学样的跳入了那裂缝里。
The old man with a bird-like face was familiar with this place and didn't hesitate. He jumped into the crack. The other ancient demons followed suit, jumping in as well despite their doubts.
rán ér nà liè fèng zhī shēn ， què yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò tā men de yù jì ， tiào xià qù yǐ hòu ， zuò zì miē yóu luò tǐ ， piāo le zú zú yī zhǎn chá gōng fu ， jìng rán hái méi yǒu jiàn dào dǐ bù ， zhòng mó xīn zhōng dōu yǒu xiē hài rán le ， biǎo miàn shàng suī rán bù shuō ， dàn nèi xīn lǐ ， dōu àn zì jǐng tì 。
然而那裂缝之深，却远远超过他们的预计，跳下去以后，做自乜由落体，飘了足足一盏茶工夫，竟然还没有见到底部，众魔心中都有些骇然了，表面上虽然不说，但内心里，都暗自警惕。
However, the depth of the crack far exceeded their expectations. After falling for what seemed like a long time—about a cup of tea—they still hadn't reached the bottom. The demons were somewhat alarmed but kept silent on the surface while secretly alerting each other.
rán ér zhè fān dǎ suàn ， chún shǔ duō yú ， yòu guò piàn kè ， tā men zhōng yú luò dào le dǐ ， zhōng jiān bìng méi yǒu yù jiàn fēn háo de wēi xiǎn 。 bù guò cǐ kè ， tā men yǐ jīng bù zhī dào zài dì dǐ duō me shēn de dì fāng le ， liǎng cè dōu shì guāng tū tū de shān bì ， zuǒ cè què yǒu yí gè bàn yuán xíng de cè mén ， sì hū kě yǐ tuī kāi ， jiù bù zhī dào huì tōng wǎng hé chù 。
然而这番打算，纯属多余，又过片刻，他们终于落到了底，中间并没有遇见分毫的危险。不过此刻，他们已经不知道在地底多么深的地方了，两侧都是光秃秃的山壁，左侧却有一个半圆形的侧门，似乎可以推开，就不知道会通往何处。
But this plan was unnecessary. After some time, they finally landed at the bottom without encountering any danger. They didn't know how deep underground they were; both sides were bare rock walls. On the left side, there was a half-circular door that could be pushed open, but where it led remained unknown.
“ zǒu ba ！”
“走吧！”
"Let's go!"
jiū miàn lǎo zhě wú yì duō shuō ， suí biàn dǎ le yī shēng zhāo hū ， jiù xiàng nà cè miàn zǒu qù le ， tuī kāi ， guǒ rán kàn jiàn yī shān dòng ， rán ér zhè yī cì ， què bú shì guāng tū tū ， zài shān dòng de dǐng bù ， xiāng qiàn zhe dà liàng de yè míng zhū ， zuì xiǎo de ， yě yǒu yīng ér quán tou dà ， duì yú fán rén lái shuō ， jià zhí lián chéng de bǎo wù ， zài xiū xiān zhě de yǎn lǐ ， què sì hū gēn běn bù zhí yī tí 。
鸠面老者无意多说，随便打了一声招呼，就像那侧面走去了，推开，果然看见一山洞，然而这一次，却不是光秃秃，在山洞的顶部，镶嵌着大量的夜明珠，最小的，也有婴儿拳头大，对于凡人来说，价值连城的宝物，在修仙者的眼里，却似乎根本不值一提。
The old man with a bird-like face didn't say much and simply walked towards one of the sides. Pushing opened the door, they saw a cave inside. This time, it wasn't bare; many night明珠were embedded in the ceiling, some as large as an infant’s fist. To ordinary people, these were priceless treasures, but to cultivators, they seemed insignificant.
nà shān dòng dǎo shì bù zhǎng ， bù guò bǎi yú zhàng ， rán hòu jiù kàn jiàn le liàng guāng ， tā men lái dào yī kuān guǎng de tīng táng ， nà tīng táng bié wú tā wù ， kě jìn tóu de qiáng bì què rú tóng fěi cuì yī yàng ， shǎn shuò zhe měi lì de lán guāng 。
那山洞倒是不长，不过百余丈，然后就看见了亮光，他们来到一宽广的厅堂，那厅堂别无他物，可尽头的墙壁却如同翡翠一样，闪烁着美丽的蓝光。
The cave was not long, only about a hundred feet. Then they saw light at the end of the tunnel. They arrived at a spacious hall where there was nothing else except for the walls that shone with beautiful blue light like emeralds.
“ hǎo lì hài de jìn zhì 。”
“好厉害的禁制。”
"Such a powerful禁制."
zhōng nián gǔ mó fàng chū shén shí ， rán ér gāng yī jiē chù dào nà sàn fà lán guāng de qiáng bì ， jiù gǎn jué dào qiáng dà de xī lì ， sì hū yào jiāng zì jǐ de shén shí lā chě jìn qù ， zhōng nián gǔ mó dà jīng shī sè ， máng yī tí fǎ lì ， hǎo bù róng yì zhèng tuō ， què yě xià dé liǎn rú bái zhǐ le 。
中年古魔放出神识，然而刚一接触到那散发蓝光的墙壁，就感觉到强大的吸力，似乎要将自己的神识拉扯进去，中年古魔大惊失色，忙一提法力，好不容易挣脱，却也吓得脸如白纸了。
The middle-aged ancient demon released his divine sense but felt a strong suction force as soon as he touched the wall, pulling him in. The middle-aged ancient demon was shocked and hurriedly summoned his cultivation power to escape, leaving him pale-faced from the scare.
“ shī dì ， nǐ zuò shì qíng jiù shì tài mǎng zhuàng le 。” nà jiū miàn lǎo zhě liǎn shàng dài zhe zé bèi zhī sè 。
“师弟，你做事情就是太莽撞了。”那鸠面老者脸上带着责备之色。
"Elder Brother, you are too rash," said the old man with a bird-like face reproachfully.
“ shì xiǎo dì de cuò ， shī xiōng ， zhè lǐ jiù shì gǔ xiū yí jì me ？” nà zhōng nián gǔ mó xīng miē fèn de shuō 。
“是小弟的错，师兄，这里就是古修遗迹么？”那中年古魔兴乜奋的说。
"It's my fault, Elder Brother. Is this place where the ancient cultivator left his treasures?" The middle-aged ancient demon asked excitedly.
“ bù cuò ， dàn yào xiān jiāng nà jìn zhì pò chú 。”
“不错，但要先将那禁制破除。”
"Indeed, but we need to break through that禁制 first."
“ kě zhè jìn zhì rú cǐ lì hài ， shàng cì shī xiōng nǐ yě ná tā méi zhé ， rú jīn gāi zěn me pò ？” nà zhōng nián gǔ mó fán nǎo de shuō 。
“可这禁制如此厉害，上次师兄你也拿它没辙，如今该怎么破？”那中年古魔烦恼的说。
"But such a powerful禁制, you couldn't handle it last time either. How should we break it now?" The middle-aged ancient demon said anxiously.
“ nǐ dān xīn shén me ， lǎo fū jì rán dài nǐ men lái cǐ chù ， zì rán shì yǒu bàn fǎ de 。”
“你担心什么，老夫既然带你们来此处，自然是有办法的。”
"What are you worried about? I brought you here for a reason," the old man with a bird-like face said smugly.
“ bàn fǎ ？”
“办法？”
"Reason?"
“ bù cuò ， nǐ hái jì de ， wǒ ràng nǐ hé zhè xiē dì zǐ xí liàn de nà tào huǒ yàn tiān mó zhèn me ？” jiū miàn lǎo zhě dé yì de shuō 。
“不错，你还记得，我让你和这些弟子习练的那套火焰天魔阵么？”鸠面老者得意的说。
"Yes, do you remember that flame heaven demon array you and these disciples practiced?" he asked proudly.
“ huǒ yàn tiān mó zhèn ， nà bú shì ná lái yù dí de ？” zhōng nián gǔ mó yǒu xiē bù jiě le 。
“火焰天魔阵，那不是拿来御敌的？”中年古魔有些不解了。
"It's not used to repel enemies?" The middle-aged ancient demon was confused.
“ cǐ zhèn fǎ yù dí dāng rán kě yǐ ， bù guò yòng yú xiàn zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， tóng yàng shì fēi cháng de hé shì 。”
“此阵法御敌当然可以，不过用于现在这种情况，同样是非常的合适。”
"This array can be used against enemies, but it is also very suitable for this situation."
“ shī xiōng shì shuō yǐ zhèn pò zhèn ？”
“师兄是说以阵破阵？”
"Elder Brother means using the array to break through another?"
nà zhōng nián gǔ mó yě bú shì shǎ guā ， huà shuō dào zhè yī bù zhōng yú huǎng rán dà wù le a ！
那中年古魔也不是傻瓜，话说到这一步终于恍然大悟了啊！
The middle-aged ancient demon wasn't stupid; he finally understood at this point.
zài shuō lìng yī biān ， lín xuān shǒu qǐ jiàn luò ， yòu yī zhī gǔ shòu bèi pī wèi liǎng bàn le ， cǐ dì de dì xíng pǒ wèi qí tè ， jǐ zuò shān fēng jū rán shì chéng shàn xíng pái liè de 。
再说另一边，林轩手起剑落，又一只古兽被劈为两半了，此地的地形颇为奇特，几座山峰居然是呈扇形排列的。
On the other side, Lin Xuan's sword sliced through an ancient beast. The terrain here was peculiar with several mountains arranged in a fan shape.
lín xuān ná chū cáng bǎo tú ， bǐ duì piàn kè ， liǎn shàng lù chū kuáng xǐ zhī sè ， tā zhōng yú què dìng zì jǐ zài bīng yán gǔ de wèi zhì le ， ér qiě zì jǐ jù lí sān yǎn shèng zǔ de cáng bǎo zhī chù bù yuǎn ， lín xuān huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， fēi xiàng le tiān biān 。
林轩拿出藏宝图，比对片刻，脸上露出狂喜之色，他终于确定自己在冰炎谷的位置了，而且自己距离三眼圣祖的藏宝之处不远，林轩化为一道惊虹，飞向了天边。
Lin Xuan took out his treasure map and compared it for a moment before his face lit up with joy. He had finally determined his position within Ice Flame Valley, and he wasn't far from the Three-Eyed Saint Ancestor's hidden treasures. Lin Xuan turned into a streak of light and flew towards the horizon.

After a long while, Lin Xuan raised his head and looked thoughtful. He rubbed his forehead with one hand as he pondered for a moment before the aura around him surged dramatically, and he flew to the left.
"Right here."
Unlike Lin Xuan who was still struggling to find the way, the group of mysterious ancient demons had made much more progress. They had already found their destination.
"Younger Brother, you think that the ruins of the ancient cultivator are right here?" The middle-aged ancient demon looked around with a doubtful expression on his face. They were in an icy plain where the cold wind cut like needles. For cultivators, this was nothing to worry about.
Several bare volcanoes stood out amidst the white expanse, smoke still rising from their mouths though they weren't erupting at the moment.
On the surface, it seemed peculiar, but ice and fire coexisting in Ice Flame Valley was not uncommon. There was no sign of anything unusual here; the ruins of an ancient cultivator could indeed be right here.
"Don't worry, I have full confidence in what I say," said the old man with a bird-like face confidently. He looked pleased.
With that, his aura dissipated and he landed. The middle-aged ancient demon was still skeptical but since his elder brother was so sure, he didn't say much more. They too concealed their aura and landed on the ground.
The other ancient demons of the Cave Profound stage also descended to the ground.
The old man with a bird-like face scanned around before settling his gaze on one of the volcanoes in front of him.
This mountain wasn't very high, only about six or seven hundred feet. It was covered with strange rocks and smoke still rose from its peak.
With both hands raised, the old man's aura surged out from behind him. The magic aura gathered together to form a dark shadow that gradually became clearer as time passed.
A giant figure appeared before their eyes.
A Dharmic Form!
However, compared to ordinary Dharmic Forms, this one was much larger, towering over three hundred feet tall. The middle-aged ancient demon's face showed a hint of shock. When had his elder brother mastered such an exquisite Dharmic Form?
The giant figure shook and turned into a mass of magic aura, flying in front of the volcano before embracing it with its arms.
"Rise!"
A thunderous roar echoed through their ears as the ground trembled violently. A miraculous scene unfolded.
The volcano actually rose from the ground. If this were to happen to ordinary people, it would be impossible. But for cultivators, lifting mountains was far more than just a legend.
Boom!
Another loud noise entered their ears as the mountain peak was thrown down heavily onto the ground. The entire earth trembled, and a large pit appeared in front of them.
But the old man with a bird-like face paid no attention to this. His eyes fixed on where the volcano had been. Below, it was still an icy plain, but there was a crack several dozen feet long and two or three feet wide.
Inside, it was pitch black, but cold air constantly blew out from within.

The middle-aged ancient demon opened his mouth in surprise as he saw the mountain peak being moved away. Sure enough, he felt the波动 of the禁制. It seemed they had made the right bet this time. As his elder brother said, there was indeed an ancient cultivator's ruins here.

"Let's go!"
The old man with a bird-like face was familiar with this place and didn't hesitate. He jumped into the crack. The other ancient demons followed suit, jumping in as well despite their doubts.
However, the depth of the crack far exceeded their expectations. After falling for what seemed like a long time—about a cup of tea—they still hadn't reached the bottom. The demons were somewhat alarmed but kept silent on the surface while secretly alerting each other.
But this plan was unnecessary. After some time, they finally landed at the bottom without encountering any danger. They didn't know how deep underground they were; both sides were bare rock walls. On the left side, there was a half-circular door that could be pushed open, but where it led remained unknown.
"Let's go!"
The old man with a bird-like face didn't say much and simply walked towards one of the sides. Pushing opened the door, they saw a cave inside. This time, it wasn't bare; many night明珠were embedded in the ceiling, some as large as an infant’s fist. To ordinary people, these were priceless treasures, but to cultivators, they seemed insignificant.
The cave was not long, only about a hundred feet. Then they saw light at the end of the tunnel. They arrived at a spacious hall where there was nothing else except for the walls that shone with beautiful blue light like emeralds.
"Such a powerful禁制."
The middle-aged ancient demon released his divine sense but felt a strong suction force as soon as he touched the wall, pulling him in. The middle-aged ancient demon was shocked and hurriedly summoned his cultivation power to escape, leaving him pale-faced from the scare.
"Elder Brother, you are too rash," said the old man with a bird-like face reproachfully.
"It's my fault, Elder Brother. Is this place where the ancient cultivator left his treasures?" The middle-aged ancient demon asked excitedly.
"Indeed, but we need to break through that禁制 first."
"But such a powerful禁制, you couldn't handle it last time either. How should we break it now?" The middle-aged ancient demon said anxiously.
"What are you worried about? I brought you here for a reason," the old man with a bird-like face said smugly.
"Reason?"
"Yes, do you remember that flame heaven demon array you and these disciples practiced?" he asked proudly.
"It's not used to repel enemies?" The middle-aged ancient demon was confused.
"This array can be used against enemies, but it is also very suitable for this situation."
"Elder Brother means using the array to break through another?"
The middle-aged ancient demon wasn't stupid; he finally understood at this point.
On the other side, Lin Xuan's sword sliced through an ancient beast. The terrain here was peculiar with several mountains arranged in a fan shape.
Lin Xuan took out his treasure map and compared it for a moment before his face lit up with joy. He had finally determined his position within Ice Flame Valley, and he wasn't far from the Three-Eyed Saint Ancestor's hidden treasures. Lin Xuan turned into a streak of light and flew towards the horizon.
