"The Spiritual Energy here is so dense, and it matches our previous deductions about the ’Celestial Ruins Secret Realm’. It’s very likely the entrance to that Secret Realm."
Li Yunjing swept his gaze around the valley and said in a deep voice, "It’s just that judging from the situation, the Hour for it to open has not yet arrived."
"Indeed, if we act rashly we may trigger unknown dangers; we must proceed with caution." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Liu Changsheng nodded in agreement.
Everyone gathered together, expressions solemn, discussing the next plan.
In the end, they unanimously decided to settle down in the valley and wait for the moment when the Secret Realm opened.
Immediately, everyone began to busy themselves.
The Cultivators skilled in Arrays all took action, taking out precious Array Flags and Spirit Stones from their respective Storage Magical Treasures.
According to the Eight Diagrams positions, they planted the Array Flags one by one at key locations around the valley. With each flag driven in, a faint light would flicker and resonate with the other flags.
At the same time, they embedded Spirit Stones into the grooves of the Array Flags as the energy source for the Arrays.
As the Spirit Crystals were embedded, the Arrays gradually activated. Waves of Spiritual Power spread out from the Array Flags, forming an invisible defensive barrier around the valley.
On the other side, several Cultivators proficient in Forbidden Technique were also busy.
Using their own Forbidden Artifacts as guides, they carved complex Runes at the entrance of the valley. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Not long after, the entrance was covered in densely packed Restriction Runes, and the entire valley was shrouded in mist. Even the Spiritual Energy was wrapped within the valley, unable to dissipate outward.
With these two layers of preparation, they no longer had to worry about others discovering this place.
At least with this Tier Three Array, plus the Tier Three Spirit Gathering Array and Stealth Array, even a Golden Core Realm Cultivator wouldn’t notice anything amiss here unless they came right up to the gate.
While the Arrays and Restrictions were being set up, the other Cultivators were not idle either.
They searched for suitable spots within the valley and erected temporary residences.
Though these dwellings were crude, they were reinforced by Restrictions and Arrays, ensuring both safety and convenience for mutual support.
Fu Chao, Yu Yunyi, and Lv Ruoxi followed Li Yunjing and naturally built their own residence.
With an Array Master like Li Yunjing, arranging a few Arrays and Restrictions to protect the four of them was simply too easy.
In fact, in Li Yunjing’s eyes, the so-called "Eight Trigrams Array" those Cultivators had set up with both hands was far inferior to what he could arrange himself.
However, Li Yunjing had no need to show off.
As long as their own wooden house and small courtyard were completed and could protect them, that was enough.
After three days of busy work, the inside and outside of the valley had been fully arranged.
Looking at their handiwork, everyone felt both a sense of accomplishment and a trace of nervousness.
During this period of waiting for the "Celestial Ruins Secret Realm" to open, not only did they have to stay vigilant against exploration by other factions, they also had to ensure their own Cultivation did not fall behind.
According to their calculations, there was just under a year left!
Everyone had to make their preparations in this final stretch of time!
At the same time, they hoped others would find no way to locate this place!
As long as they were the first to enter, they would seize the advantage and be able to search for Treasures within their Cultivation range at the earliest possible moment.
This was truly a case where one step ahead meant every step ahead!
It was definitely not as simple as entering one or two days earlier, as if that wouldn’t matter!
This time, the valley fell completely silent.
Aside from arranging those on duty, almost everyone shut themselves in for bitter Cultivation.
Li Yunjing was no exception. He still had several Big Killer Artifacts that had yet to be refined; once they entered the "Celestial Ruins Secret Realm", with dangers lurking everywhere, those Big Killer Artifacts might come in handy.
In his room, Restrictions were densely layered. Without his permission, no one could probe what was happening inside.
Li Yunjing opened his Creation Divine Eye, and the Celestial Thunder Emperor Seal flew out, hovering before him. Li Yunjing was prepared to once again smelt it with Samadhi True Fire. At the same time, he was also nurturing the Celestial Profound Compass, the Cyan Spirit Jade Pendant, and the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Celestial Secret Pendant in his hands...
The Celestial Profound Compass, as a Tier Four Treasure, possessed the marvelous function of deducing the Celestial Secrets. At this moment, Li Yunjing placed it over his lower abdomen; his True Essence circulated over the Magical Treasure, his Divine Sense also probing into it, and even a drop of his blood flowed into it.
Li Yunjing was simultaneously using three different methods of refining Magical Treasures to refine this Treasure.
As for the Cyan Spirit Jade Pendant, its grade was not low and it had the effect of nurturing the Spirit. Li Yunjing crafted a chain and hung it directly around his neck to nourish his Spirit at all times.
The Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Celestial Secret Pendant was tied directly at his waist; he had taken out many Treasures.
Refining these Magical Treasures simultaneously immediately led to something that surprised Li Yunjing.
Aside from the Celestial Thunder Emperor Seal being refined by Samadhi True Fire, the Cyan Spirit Jade Pendant, the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Celestial Secret Pendant, and the Myriad Poison Banner all underwent changes.
The most obvious was the Myriad Poison Banner. This Magical Treasure had devoured the Hellhound’s venom; numerous toxins fused again and devoured one another, and this Treasure seemed to have the possibility of evolving once more!
The evolution of the Myriad Poison Banner was extremely simple: as long as the toxins within were vicious enough, it could keep improving!
The advancement of the Myriad Poison Banner made Li Yunjing somewhat pleased.
But only to that extent!
What truly delighted Li Yunjing was the changes in the Cyan Spirit Jade Pendant and the Dragon and Phoenix Yin Yang Celestial Secret Pendant.
The Cyan Spirit Jade Pendant was a Treasure he had picked up from a street stall; back then, Li Yunjing had already known this thing held some secret.
