"On this vast ocean, is there anyone else living on other islands besides yours?" Lin Feng asked, patting Yan Hai’s thin shoulder as he spoke.
"I have explored before, but I didn’t dare go too far for fear of Demon Beast attacks. There are two other islands with people far away, but those places are even worse off than here. All these years, I don’t even know if there are still people on those two islands anymore." Yan Hai replied sorrowfully to Lin Feng’s question.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng couldn’t help but sigh. Looking at Yan Hai, he didn’t know what to say. He sympathized deeply with these people. If he were in Yan Hai’s position, he probably wouldn’t fare much better.
He patted Yan Hai’s shoulder, signaling him not to be too saddened. Suddenly recalling sothing, he asked Yan Hai, "Are there many Demon Beasts in this sea?"
"Of course, there are many. The sea’s Demon Beasts have no natural enemies, and they haven’t faced natural disasters, so they often attack the islands." Yan Hai promptly answered Fang Yan’s question.
"What level are these sea Demon Beasts?" Lin Feng pressed on, looking at Yan Hai.
"They can’t be considered very powerful. Occasionally, there might be a Demon King Realm beast, and as for Demon Immortal Realm beasts, they’ve only appeared once or twice. Beyond that, I haven’t seen them. However, when the steward was alive, he ntioned that before Sun Profound Continent changed, there were encounters with Demon Venerable Realm beasts on the sea." Yan Hai responded imdiately to Lin Feng’s query.
After hearing Yan Hai’s words, Lin Feng nodded, thought for a mont, and said to Yan Hai, "eting is destiny. How about this, I’ll help you build a Formation covering the entire island. With this Formation, unless a Demon Venerable Realm beast cos, it won’t be able to attack the island, and humans can co and go freely. Consider it a little help from ."
Faced with the miserable lives of these people, Lin Feng felt a deep compassion, which led him to co up with this way to help these simple and kind-hearted people. With such a Formation, life on the island could be better. If a Demon Venerable Realm beast did show up, there would be nothing more he could do.
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Yan Hai’s eyes almost widened to bursting. He looked at Lin Feng in disbelief and asked, "You... are you an Array Master?"
"I am an Array Master, why?" Lin Feng replied calmly, looking at Yan Hai.
"Thank you so much, thank you so much!" Yan Hai was extrely excited. He imdiately stood up, ready to kneel before Lin Feng. He had long wanted to set up a Formation to protect the island, but he wasn’t an Array Master, and it remained just a thought. He never dread Lin Feng would actually be an Array Master. If the Formation Lin Feng ntioned could really be established, the islanders could truly regain their vitality!
Lin Feng naturally wouldn’t let Yan Hai kneel. With a light shake of his hand, he helped Yan Hai up and said, "No need to thank . As I said, eting is destiny. Even if it wasn’t you, I would have helped."
"Then, thank you, Daoist friend!" Yan Hai expressed his gratitude excitedly. But inside, he was thinking about sothing else.
At this mont, Lin Feng waved his hand and ascended into the air. After thoroughly observing the island, he began setting up the Island Protection Array to protect the people here...
Such a Formation wasn’t particularly difficult for Lin Feng. In just a few hours, the Formation was completed. Once finished, Lin Feng taught Yan Hai how to control the Formation and replenish its energy. After settling everything, Lin Feng prepared to leave.
But just as Lin Feng was about to depart, Yan Hai suddenly called out to him, "Please, Daoist friend, don’t leave yet!"
"Is there sothing else?" Lin Feng asked Yan Hai, puzzled. Now that everything here was settled, why was Yan Hai still calling him?
"Please co with !" Yan Hai said, a flash of determination in his eyes. Without waiting for Lin Feng’s response, he imdiately grabbed him and plunged into the sea!
Stunned by Yan Hai’s actions, Lin Feng didn’t understand why he did this. But his intuition told him there had to be a hidden story, so he didn’t resist and followed Yan Hai toward the sea bottom.
The two swam for nearly an hour, and the surroundings were pitch-black. But incredibly, in such darkness, Yan Hai led Lin Feng into an underwater cave. Following it for a while, they suddenly surfaced.
What lay before them was an underground world, filled with rich Spiritual Energy. Astonishingly, there was a palace here! Even more amazing, there was a floating sun in this underground world, and they could even feel its warmth!
Stunned by this scene, Lin Feng was at a loss. He could never have imagined such a place existed deep under the sea. What was this? Where had Yan Hai brought him?
"It’s surprising, isn’t it, Daoist friend?" Yan Hai said, looking at Lin Feng with a bitter smile.
"What’s going on?" Lin Feng looked at Yan Hai and imdiately asked.
"This is a relic discovered by my ancestors. As for what kind of relic it is, we have never explored it. It’s not that we don’t want to, but our strength is insufficient, and we can’t even break through the formation on the periphery. My ancestors left word that this relic mustn’t be disclosed to anyone; only Yan Family descendants may explore it." Yan Hai looked at Lin Feng and slowly explained.
"And you are?" After hearing Yan Hai’s words, Lin Feng was taken aback and asked Yan Hai.
"Friend, I know you are a person of great fortune. Consider this relic my grand gift to you, as a token of gratitude for establishing the island protection array for us." Yan Hai looked at Lin Feng seriously and said, "Don’t refuse . You know that with my strength, it’s impossible for to explore it. Besides, I, Yan Hai, have no children. If you don’t explore it, then after I die, this relic will be completely forgotten here."
After saying this, Yan Hai didn’t look back and plunged into the water, leaving Lin Feng in front of the relic.
"Sigh!"
Looking at the relic before him, Lin Feng sighed, knowing Yan Hai’s intentions, and stepped forward towards the distant relic...
As he gazed at the palace before him, Lin Feng was quite alard because he saw several layers of formations surrounding the palace, as if this palace was enclosed by a protective array, preventing anyone from entering. This was the first ti Lin Feng had seen such a relic, and he was truly curious about it.
So Lin Feng began to study the formation at the outermost layer. But as soon as he started, he imdiately discovered a problem. These formations were completely different from those he had encountered before, an entirely new domain, which piqued Lin Feng’s curiosity even more.
Glancing at the relic here, Lin Feng’s intuition told him that this relic was absolutely not simple. He was even sure of one thing: these formations could definitely elevate his formation skills. So Lin Feng felt excited and began to concentrate on breaking the formations.
For Lin Feng, he truly wanted to enter here and find out to whom this relic belonged, and why it was built underwater. All this could only be done after completely unlocking the formations...
......
On Xuanming Lake.
Countless experts were exploring ways to enter the relic, but frustratingly, after nearly a month, they had found nothing, which left these people disheartened.
Looking at the relic still floating on the lake, everyone was at a loss for words. They had tried every possible ans, even attempted implausible ones, but no one had a clue about the relic.
Elder Wang and Fang Yan, among others, had naturally researched it several tis, but to no avail. After seeing that no one could make any progress, many people left reluctantly, and gradually, the surroundings of Xuanming Lake beca quiet again, devoid of the previous bustle.
"Fang Yan, look, they’ve all left. Isn’t it about ti?" Elder Wang pulled Fang Yan to a deserted place and asked him if it was ti to act, given that various forces had left, and it seed to be a good ti to enter.
"Elder Wang, it’s not the right ti yet. Did you forget that if others left and we stayed, it would surely arouse suspicion? So there are still many people hiding and secretly observing."
Hearing Elder Wang’s words, Fang Yan imdiately responded. His divine sense had already detected that there were at least twenty hidden individuals around Xuanming Lake, all mbers of major sects. So any movent on this side would definitely be exposed by these people. Acting at this ti would be very inappropriate, and Fang Yan didn’t want his efforts to be in vain and others to benefit undeservedly.
Elder Wang, hearing Fang Yan’s words, also found them reasonable. Everyone was focusing on the relic, and it was impossible for them to give up so easily. Even if most people left, so would still remain hidden.
"So what do we do, leave too?" Elder Wang asked Fang Yan seriously, wanting to know Fang Yan’s plan.
"Simple, we leave too, and leave right in front of them. Wait until everyone has lost patience." Fang Yan looked at Elder Wang and gave his answer.
Actually, during this ti, Fang Yan had already discovered a way to unlock the relic through divine sense and close observation. Fang Yan just didn’t want to be sabotaged. Even if he were to take the Divine Sword Sect mbers in, he couldn’t allow others to notice. If others learned how to enter, it would be better to leave it be.
"Alright, I’ll leave with the others then." Elder Wang nodded in agreent after hearing Fang Yan’s words, then found an excuse to lead the Divine Sword Sect mbers away.
