Chapter 249 Exploration, underground drilling
Li Yi stood in front of the mountain range with thick flames, and turned into an ordinary middle-aged man. The Eight-winged Cold Snake and the Silver Armored Guard had been collected by him. He also suppressed his own cultivation to the level of the initial stage of building. Outsiders could not see his appearance and cultivation at all. He had killed so many cultivators in Tianhuo City, so naturally he did not dare to walk around in the outside world.
The spells in Li Yi's hands kept changing, and he silently recited a spell. At his brow, a black and white Yin-Yang divine pupil appeared. The moment the eyes appeared, they slowly opened and looked at the Flame Mountain Range.
Under the gaze of the Yin-Yang divine pupil, the mountain range that was originally covered by flames gradually became clear. The entire mountain range was dozens of miles long and was covered by a huge invisible fiery red light shield. Inside the light shield, there was a nine-day fire dragon constantly wandering on it. If there was an invasion of strange beasts or something, a fire dragon would quickly wander over and kill it.
In the middle of the entire light shield, there is a red bead, like a sun, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world and the fire spirit power from the ground, providing power to the formation and maintaining its operation. At the same time, Li Yi also found that the sun in the sky seemed to have attracted pure fire spirit power and injected it into the bead.
"This bead should be the core of the formation, but it seems that this formation should have some tricks. It should not be easy to break it." Li Yi thought secretly in his heart, and gradually frowned.
Li Yi quietly performed the Great Five Elements Breaking Prohibition Technique in a corner of the formation, preparing to dig a small hole to let himself enter, just like the last time he broke the prohibition of the Netherworld Blood River. This formation is dozens of miles long. If you dig a hole at the edge, there should be no problem.
Li Yi did what he said, and he was unambiguous. However, digging a hole directly outside was a bit too arrogant, and digging a hole was not something that could be completed in a short time, so Li Yi planned to sneak into the ground. Looking at the purple beast on his shoulder, Li Yi whispered: "How is your earth escape technique? Can you take me down with you?"
The purple beast nodded, shook his head, looked at the flames in the distance with some fear, and grumbled twice.
"You mean, you can take me down with you, but the flames here are too strong, you can't hold on for long." Li Yi looked at the beast and asked.
After listening to Li Yi's words, the beast nodded.
"So that's the case, let's do this! Let's go down and take a look, and then find a place with low flame temperature to break the formation. I have some fire-proof treasures in my hand."
As he said, Li Yi took out a white jade-like strange sword from his storage bag, on which was carved a snow unicorn, exuding an amazing chill. As soon as he took it out, the surrounding temperature dropped a lot instantly.
This was a top-level magic weapon he got from the storage bag of a Jindan-stage cultivator after he killed one in the Southern Wilderness. It could generate an extremely cold light shield. As a protective shield, it was quite powerful and immune to most ice-attributed magic attacks, so he kept it.
As Li Yi killed several Jindan-stage cultivators, they all had many magic weapons in their hands, but his cultivation was only at the foundation-building stage, so he couldn't use them at all. In addition, there were dozens of top-level magic weapons, all of which were treasured by Jindan-stage cultivators. They were not ordinary magic weapons, but some with good power or special functions. The white jade Ruyi in his hand was a magic weapon with very good defensive power.
Li Yi drove the white jade Ruyi and created a white light shield, protecting himself and the purple beast in it. A strong purple light emerged from the purple beast, wrapped Li Yi, and slowly fled underground. The purple beast continued to dive underground. In just a moment, it had descended more than a hundred feet deep. The deeper it dived, the higher the temperature underground became. When it reached a depth of a hundred feet, Li Yi's body could no longer bear it, and sweat covered his forehead. There was only one layer of white light shield in front of him, and the rest had all melted away.
"What kind of hell is this place? It's so hot. It must be more than just purgatory. The purgatory that holds prisoners should be just a cover. The formation here should be like a guard here. I descended a hundred feet deep, but I didn't find the bottom of the formation. But I can only go here. I can't go deeper. If I go deeper, it will be dangerous." As he said this, Li Yi used the flying sword made of purple flame crystal to dig a hole that could accommodate a person and hid in it.
Looking at the flying sword made of purple flame crystal in his hand, which was greedily absorbing the fire spirit energy here, Li Yi raised his eyebrows and directly inserted all the flying swords on his body into the ground in front of him, then took out more than a dozen pieces of ten thousand year black ice from the storage bag and placed them in front of him, and at the same time threw a smaller piece of ice to the purple beast.
The purple beast quickly snatched the ice, licked it a few times, and lay on the ice with great enjoyment, raising its short legs. Li Yi saw this scene, smiled, and then began to perform the Great Five Elements Breaking Forbidden Technique to start wearing away the fiery red light shield in front of him.
Just when Li Yi was breaking the light shield, in a dilapidated stone house in Purgatory, Zhang Tie and Liu Yunfei were sweating profusely while refining a formation flag. The two of them had always worked together to refine the formation flag. Liu Yunfei was responsible for the formation part, and Zhang Tie was responsible for refining the formation into a magic weapon. The formation flag was essentially a magic weapon.
Zhang Tie looked at Liu Yunfei's haggard face and said apologetically: "Sister, I'm sorry, it's all because I insisted on returning to Tianhuo City, otherwise I wouldn't have been caught by them, causing you to lose your cultivation and suffer the pain of fire poison. Now you can only wait to die here."
At this time, Zhang Tie regretted it so much that his intestines were about to turn green. When they found out that the escapee was Li Yi, they didn't attend the discussion meeting the next day, but fled from Chu State early the next morning. On the way, Liu Yunfei once advised him to flee Chu State directly and go to other countries. But Zhang Tie felt that Li Yi's original plan was very good and did not arouse anyone's suspicion. Without thinking too much, he returned to Tianhuo City.
But a few days later, the cultivators who participated in the Yingdu Dao Conference were betrayed by the Loose Cultivator Alliance and were all killed. At the beginning, there was nothing wrong, but later the people in the Fire Spirit Valley learned that Zhang Tie and Liu Yunfei had also participated in the Dao Conference, but returned early and escaped, which aroused some suspicion from the top leaders.
