Yun Fan approached the stone door with a sense of trepidation, carefully examining its intricate carvings. Two massive dragons adorned the surface, their disdainful eyes and sharp fangs exuding an overwhelming presence that hinted at ancient times and weariness.
Beside the stone door, a shimmering aura radiated like a translucent veil, isolating the area from the outside world. Yun Fan reached out to touch it, feeling its remarkable hardness. Even when channeling his internal spiritual energy and striking forward with his palm, he could not breach this layer of light.
Muttering to himself, he realized this must be the legendary formation. The formations were shrouded in mystery; it was said that a Formation Master could deploy powerful killing arrays that could slay formidable foes at minimal cost. They could also set up Defensive Formations that even enemies several times stronger than themselves would find impossible to penetrate.
In the entire Great Qin Kingdom, Formation Masters were exceedingly rare, mostly residing among the elite powers, while ordinary people dared not provoke them for fear of dire consequences. It was known that although a Formation Master might not possess great personal strength, the formations they casually laid down were immensely powerful. Many skilled practitioners would even be willing to assist them, meaning that offending one was akin to offending a multitude of factions.
However, mastering formations was incredibly difficult; for an ordinary person, even dedicating their entire life might not suffice to reach the level of a Formation Master. Thus, in the Great Qin Kingdom, those who could cultivate to become high-level Array Mages were as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns.
As Yun Fan gazed at the stone door before him, he noticed a depression on its surface that matched the size of the ancient Key Token in his hand. With excitement bubbling within him, he took out the rustic token and embedded it into the recess. Instantly, it aligned perfectly with the indentation.
The massive stone doors began to tremble slightly before creaking open wide. A hole slowly emerged from the Formation Barrier ahead.
Yun Fan looked into the vast black opening, where cold winds occasionally swept through. His eyes filled with determination; having come this far, he could not concern himself with potential dangers ahead—he had to take a leap of faith.
Stepping into the dark corridor, it suddenly lit up as powerful beams of light emanated from the walls, illuminating the entire space in a dazzling display.
Yun Fan examined his surroundings in astonishment; the entire corridor was embedded with Night Luminous Stones—a truly extravagant sight. It was known that these stones were quite expensive; in the outside world, one would need dozens of spirit stones just to purchase a single piece.
Now, with the entire corridor adorned in Night Luminous Stones, if he were to extract them all and sell them, he would undoubtedly become the wealthiest person in Dongyang County. However, Yun Fan was not so naive; he understood that these Night Luminous Stones were likely integrated into a formation.
With his current abilities, he simply couldn't risk trying to dig deeper. If he accidentally disrupted the formation, the dangers that could erupt would put his life in jeopardy.
Following the light, he continued to move forward.
Unbeknownst to him, Yun Fan had walked for several hours and finally arrived at his destination. A magnificent palace suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Yun Fan gazed at the splendid scene, golden and resplendent, with radiant light shining everywhere. Surrounding the palace were numerous colossal stone statues scattered about, leaving him in awe.
He never expected that such a grand palace would be built within Thundercloud Valley.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed a high platform constructed in the center of the palace, upon which rested an Ancient Coffin.
