Chapter 465 Formation Grades
Tall ancient structures of the building stood imposingly, casting shadows on the ground. Most of the structures were broken, as if a great disaster had occurred in the past, destroying this place.
The air was thick with excitement and wonder, creating a mysterious atmosphere that intrigued everyone's hearts.
Despite the impact of time, the tall structures looked quite sturdy, and everyone couldn't help but be curious to learn more about this ancient structure.
"This is... unbelievable!"
"I never anticipated something like this to exist within the Core Area of the Forest of Never Return!"
"What kind of ancient civilization could have existed in this place? Look at those markings... very strange yet beautiful!"
People began to murmur in wonder, captivated by the sight of the ancient structure that had been lost for thousands of years, untouched by people for who knows how long.
Every structure bore markings, some of them beautiful and similar to one another. Archmage Isadora couldn't contain her excitement upon seeing those markings and immediately began to examine them.
"These structures... they are more than hundreds of thousands of years old... I've never seen something like this before..." Archmage Isadora muttered in excitement as she carefully examined the structures, trying her best not to damage them.
Meanwhile, Yuan and his wives looked at the structures with amused expressions, also surprised to find something like this. Yuan's divine sense hadn't sensed the structures before, as if the broken structures couldn't be detected by divine sense, as though an invisible force was concealing them.
"This is almost unbelievable... the spiritual energy here is so dense and potent, much denser compared to the places we've been to," Lily muttered in a dazed voice, feeling the difference instantly.
"Indeed. This place has a tremendous amount of spiritual energy... No wonder I sensed a few spiritual beasts not far away from this area," Yuan added, nodding his head.
"I can also feel it; it's incredible! If we cultivate in a place like this, our cultivation will progress much faster," Rose said, with a surprised look in her eyes.
"Well, even though the spiritual energy here is quite thick and potent, we can't cultivate here," Yuan said, sighing.
Lily suddenly raised her brows. "And why is that?"
"Well, we have a mission to finish, and besides, we can't expose too much about cultivation to them. Or it will be troublesome for us later," Yuan replied.
"I see... I understand now," Lily responded with a gentle nod.
"[Host! This place seems to be surrounded by a powerful formation!]" Suddenly and unexpectedly, Yuan heard Nora's voice inside his head, shouting.
He was in disbelief upon hearing this; he was more surprised hearing her voice rather than about the new information about an array formation. It's been a while since he last spoke to Nora or heard her voice, after all.
"What? There is a formation here... this means this place once belonged to cultivators, or perhaps this place was once an important place for the cultivators," Yuan muttered after coming out of his daze.
She was aware of such things due to her ancestral memories, inherited through her powerful bloodline as a member of the ancient primordial chaos dragon.
She instantly recognized the two formations surrounding the entire place with just a single gaze and was able to tell what kind of formations they were.
"Formations? The same kind of barrier that was concealing the previous ancient ruin we encountered?" Lily asked, surprised. Until now, she hadn't even realized they were inside an array formation.
"That's right. They're the same, but these two formations are rather unique compared to the formation before."
"How so?" Lily asked.
Xi Meili chuckled. "These two formations are seventh-grade, while that formation was a sixth-level concealment formation."
As Xi Meili began to explain about the array formations, they suddenly heard the sound of powerful explosions a few meters away, where King Richard and the others were researching the old structures.
Boom!
Another powerful explosion occurred, causing dust to fly around.
Valeria raised her brows and looked toward the direction. "What are those idiots doing there? Did they encounter a powerful beast?"
"I wonder too..." Lily chuckled.
"Don't worry, I didn't sense the presence of any monsters in their way," Emma reassured them with a smile.
Suddenly, Archmage Isadora came running toward them with an excited and anticipatory look on her face.
"Miss Isadora, what brings you to us this time?" Yuan asked her calmly upon seeing her.
"Well, I discovered a hidden compartment just a few meters away from here," Archmage Isadora replied, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Then her expression turned sad. "However, there seems to be an invisible force blocking us from entering."
"What?!" Yuan and his wives were surprised to hear this and looked at Isadora in disbelief.
"So the explosions earlier..."
"Indeed," Archmage Isadora nodded and continued, "Those were the explosions resulting from our failure to destroy the invisible barrier. No matter what we throw at it, the barrier doesn't show any sign of weakness."
"We're clueless about the barrier, so I came here for help, Yuan. You most certainly know something about it." She looked at Yuan with anticipation in her eyes.
'A barrier... it must be some sort of defensive formation, keeping the secret compartment safe from intruders,' Yuan thought, a sly smile appearing on his face.
