continuously absorbing the spiritual energy from the spirit stones. Since Shen Jing didn't want to leave, then don't leave!He will never cooperate with Shen Jing again.It's impossible to guard against...The cave was eerily silent.

In this kind of environment, everyone subconsciously has a little bit of nervousness.

Qin Sang has been pondering the reason for the anomaly of the Nine Nether Demon Fire. Was it caused by a powerful spiritual fire hidden within the cave, or was it triggered by this strange cold mist

The cave wasn't as deep as he imagined. Qin Sang was thinking about this when he noticed the stout cultivator at the front suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "This is the first barrier of the cave."

Qin Sang only then noticed that the stone steps beneath her feet had reached their end, giving way to a flat expanse of paving stones.

This space seems quite large, but the cold mist is too dense, the visibility is extremely limited, and you can't see anything. Even one's divine sense is restricted.

Qin Sang and the others hurried a few steps, finally seeing a black stone wall shadow. There was a neat circular stone cave on the stone wall, covered with a layer of black light wall.

The light barrier was thin enough that one could faintly see a small stone chamber on the other side. It was sparsely furnished, with a shelf carved into the wall that was now empty, clearly indicating that the treasures had already been taken by the short and stout cultivator.

Everyone took turns to look at the restrictions at the entrance of the cave. They found that the restrictions on the light wall were very mysterious and powerful in the past, otherwise it would be impossible to remain intact even under the erosion of the cold mist.

"Cracking this seal isn't difficult," the short and stout cultivator said, "I've been inside before. It took too much from me to break it alone, but with seven of us working together, it will be a breeze. But be careful, don't destroy the seal. These seals are interconnected and also serve to block the cold mist. There are many monsters in this area. If the cold mist were to spill out of the cave due to the seal being destroyed, the anomaly would easily attract powerful demons..."

Everyone patiently listened to the short and stout monk's instructions on how to break the seal.

At this time, a female cultivator turned her head and asked, "Daoist Fan, where does the cold mist come from What is on the opposite side of this space Are there any other cave dwellings Have you seen them"

The short and stout monk paused, then raised his head to look into the depths of the cold mist. "Across from us is not a stone wall, but a sheer cliff. There is a deep chasm at the bottom, extremely profound and unknown." The cold mist permeated the chasm, as if emanating from its depths.

“Daoist Fan, have you gone down to see what’s in the chasm What could possibly be giving birth to such strange cold mist” Qin Sang asked.

He suspected that if there was spiritual fire, it might be deep in the chasm. Perhaps the cold mist was somehow related to the spiritual fire.

If the cold mist is derived from the power of the spiritual fire, it must carry the unique aura of the spiritual fire. That's why the Nine Nether Demon Fire reacted.

Qin Sang has always been frugal with words and rarely spoke.

The short, stout monk looked at Qin Sang in surprise and nodded.

"I descended along the cliff face into the depths of the chasm, but it seemed to have no end. There was nothing but cold mist. After a while, a strange sense of dread filled my heart and I dared not proceed any further. I returned and focused on breaking the seal of the cave."

"Later, it was discovered that there were so many treasures in the cave dwelling. As long as the third layer of restrictions could be opened, there would be unimaginable gains. Why risk one's life to explore unknown places"

The stout monk's words were a wise and seasoned approach. Everyone walked over together and sure enough, they found a deep, bottomless chasm. Thinking about themselves, if they encountered a similar situation, they would also make the same choice.

...skins of shapeshifting creatures, Yang-penetrating talismans...

Any random item could allow them to be worry-free during the alchemy stage, let alone multiple appearing in succession.

"Fellow Daoist Fan, I heard from you that the third layer of prohibition is very solid and difficult, it's estimated to take a long time. In case things don't go smoothly, staying in the cold mist for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. It's best not to delay any further, let's quickly break the prohibition."

The scholar in green robes spoke in a low voice.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The short and stout monk looked solemn, nodding slightly. "Then everyone do as I say, attack the formation together. Brute force will break it, but the counterattack won't be too powerful, so there's no need to be afraid. When cracks appear on the barrier, you must rush in at the fastest speed…"

After making sure everyone had memorized the key points, the short and stout monk waved his hand. Everyone spread out in a fan shape around him, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Only seeing the short and stout monk's fingers probing, consecutively striking out seven black bone nails.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

...Thump thump thump...

A bone pin lay on the glowing wall, one in the center and six surrounding it.

This bone pin was made from the bones of some kind of beast.

Qin Sang had a certain amount of skill in the Way of Forbidden Arts. He discovered that the bone nails should be a kind of magical artifact specialized in breaking enchantments. As for their power, it was still unclear at this moment.

Having hammered out these bone nails, the short and stout cultivator seemed to be quite strained, panting several times before saying: “Fellow Daoists, please choose one and infuse your true essence into the bone nail. Then, follow my instructions.”

The short and stout monk aimed at the one in the middle, Qin Sang also casually picked one and infused it with true essence.

To everyone's surprise, the seemingly unremarkable bone pin, despite swallowing so much true essence, showed no signs of being unable to bear it. As more and more true essence flowed into it, a phantom appeared on the bone pin, growing larger and larger.

With the short and stout monk's orders, everyone executed them meticulously. In a short time, these phantoms merged into one, forming a giant bone-nail phantom, perfectly aligned with the center of the light wall.

"Go!"

The short, stout monk's face flushed red as he let out a gruff, strained roar.

The bone-peg phantom shuddered violently, then exploded against the light wall with a resounding crash.

The next moment, there was a deafening boom. The ground shook violently. Everyone was so close to the light barrier that they were stunned by the sound and their ears rang.

Then, an astonishing sight unfolded. A crack appeared in the center of the light barrier, running from top to bottom. Immediately afterward, two massive ripples resembling water waves surged outward abruptly, and a mass of black light gushed out from within the light barrier.

All present paled and hurriedly dodged. Qin Sang retreated without hesitation. The black light, like a thunderbolt, easily tore open the cold mist and dispersed the crowd's formation, causing chaos.

Just then, a short and stout cultivator shouted anxiously from the front, "Don't panic, the restriction has been broken, quickly follow me in!"

Qin Sang only then realized he had retreated too far. After the initial shock, he also sensed that although the black light appeared imposing, it actually wasn't very aggressive.

He abruptly halted his figure, then with a leap, surged forward into the darkness. He swiftly returned to the light barrier.

At this moment, a graceful figure flashed before Qin Sang's eyes, seemingly one of the female cultivators. Vaguely, several figures could be seen in the opposite stone chamber, indicating that the others had already entered.

Seeing her pass through the light barrier smoothly, and the cracks on the barrier rapidly closing, Qin Sang no longer hesitated, about to slip inside, his figure suddenly stopped at this moment.

His eyes flashed a strange look, and instead of advancing, he retreated.

"Qindao, you're still waiting The restrictions are almost back online. Why haven't you gone in yet"

A dry, thin old man's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
