The system is the proficiency panel

"I major in formations. Although my realm is not as high as yours, my soul and mental strength are similar to yours. If you pay more attention, you will naturally find it."

Xiao Ningxue started to explain but did not mention that the reason Feng Tian couldn't find them was entirely because of his inherently arrogant personality, and his immortal body, which made him even more arrogant. In the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was not afraid of anyone except Lin Ji, and he did not even carefully check the surrounding situation.

After explaining, Xiao Ningxue carefully examined Daoyan and the other two and found that these three were worthy of being the disciples of Dao Sect. With endless resources and extraordinary talents, they have now reached the second state of mind and caught up with Feng Tian. Of course, Feng Tian is definitely stronger in terms of combat power. She still lacks one kind of momentum to reach the second state of mind. She hopes to gain something this time.

Yun Shitian naturally had no idea what Xiao Ningxue was thinking, he just accepted the explanation with a smile. At this time, Dao Yan also spoke.

"Stop chatting, let's go into the secret realm first. We have cleared out the nearby monks in advance. Of course, we don't know who has not come out yet."

It was no problem for the others. With Feng Tian taking the lead, the five of them went to the red light spot one after another and entered the secret realm.

Inside the red light spot is an extremely large world, with mountains rising from the ground, covered with lush trees. Streams flow through the tall mountains and merge into the earth to form rivers, creating a beautiful scene.

The entrance to the secret realm is at the top of a high mountain. The constant wind and snow outside make the cave very hidden.

The five people left the top of the mountain and searched around in the air. A few minutes later, Xiao Ningxue pointed to a mountain range below that showed obvious signs of life activity and said.

"This secret realm is huge. The sky is round and the earth is square. Its area is no less than a continent. With the four seasons and the life that can be nurtured, it can be said to be a small world. To create such a small world that can exist stably, the price to pay is not small."

"Yes, and this place suddenly appeared recently. It couldn't have been built by the monks of Kaiyang Star. It must have been left by those people. Although we all have life-saving items, we still have to be careful."

Daoyan continued speaking based on her words. As for who those people were, everyone present knew and there was no need to hide it.

After hearing Daoyan's words, even Feng Tian became serious. Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly solemn, Jiang Yuan, who was optimistic by nature, came out to smooth things over.

"Don't be too nervous. Although this place is big, the monks before have already explored it almost completely. There are only two places left that are too dangerous for them to enter. Our targets are them. One is the sun in the sky as a light source, and the other is the abyss in the center."

"So where should we go first?"

After knowing the target, Feng Tian asked immediately.

As a disciple of Lingtian Sect in the Southern Continent, Jiang Yuan knew the most complete information here and responded immediately.

"The abyss, it is said that there is a formation sealing the entrance. From time to time, there are many noises coming from below. Some cultivators disappeared soon after approaching. It will become a forbidden area in a few days. Since City Lord Xiao is proficient in formations, why not go to the abyss first to take a look."

"Sure. I'm also curious about how much power the formation still has after thousands of years of being unattended."

Xiao Ningxue also became interested, and with no one objecting, Jiang Yuan led the group to quickly head towards the abyss.

In the center of the earth, the abyss was like a huge mouth, opening silently and swallowing all the light and warmth around it.

From the abyss, there were bursts of low and long echoes. The sound seemed to be a call from ancient times, or like the whisper of the abyss itself. Sometimes it sounded like weeping and sometimes it sounded like roaring, making it impossible to distinguish its true meaning.

The five people came to the edge of the abyss sealing formation and looked at the scene in front of them. They couldn't help but frowned. Among them, Dao Yan and Xiao Ningxue were the most sensitive to the surrounding environment. They seemed to have noticed something. After looking at each other, Dao Yan spoke first.

"Since I got close to this place, I found that negative emotions such as death, anger, jealousy, etc. were constantly gathering here from all directions of the small world, and were eventually swallowed into the abyss. Moreover, these negative emotions are also affecting us, although they have little effect."

Afterwards, Xiao Ningxue came to the formation, carefully observed the formation pattern, and continued Dao Yan's words.

"Looking at the pattern, this formation was indeed left by the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Stars Realm. In addition to sealing, the greatest ability of the formation, as Dao Yan said, is to absorb the negative emotions in the small world and gather them in the abyss. I suspect there is something living down there that feeds on negative emotions. It's even possible that this thing was born from negative emotions because no one cared for it for too long."

"Of course, there is also good news. Although the small world has spiritual energy, the creatures we saw along the way were very weak. They feed on these negative emotions, so their strength is estimated to be not very strong. Maybe we can deal with it. Moreover, I can set up a formation to isolate the negative emotions for a period of time, which may have a miraculous effect."

"So should we break this formation now? Or should we go to the sun to have a look?"

Xiao Ningxue did not hide anything and tried her best to explain the interests involved clearly, and finally sought everyone's opinions.

Upon hearing this, Daoyan and the other two looked at each other and made their choice immediately.

"Then I'll trouble City Lord Xiao to set up the formation. We'll look around to see if there's anything we can gain, and then we'll go to the sky together later."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he started exploring around the abyss with the other two Taoists.

Xiao Ningxue quickly took out various materials from her savings ring and began to draw the formation quickly while focusing on several things at once.

Feng Tian originally wanted to go with Dao Yan and the others, but when he thought of Xiao Ningxue being Lin Ji’s wife, he thought it would be better to stay. If something really happened, it would be fine if he was punished, but if they took their anger out on the demon clan... Thinking of this, Feng Tian became more melancholy.

The abyss was so large that it took Xiao Ningxue two full days of concentration to complete it. In the meantime, she took a lot of pills to restore her spiritual and mental strength.

While Daoyan and the other two were drawing the formation, in addition to some spiritual medicines, they also found the bodies of more than a dozen cultivators. Judging from their clothing, they were all from sects and independent cultivators near the southern continent.

The death was quite strange. There was only one wound on the body, and the rest of the flesh and blood were all burned to ashes, leaving only a shell that turned into ashes when touched. There was not a trace of other things left, so it was impossible to judge the strength of the deceased.

After listening to the three people's descriptions, Xiao Ningxue, who was taking a rest after drawing the formation, said in a serious tone.

"Without further delay, I will immediately activate the formation to check the situation. Please stay alert."

As Xiao Ningxue finished her words, countless array patterns lit up at the same time, spanning an abyss as large as a mountain range, forming a bowl-shaped mouth that covered it.

At the moment the formation was formed and began to isolate negative emotions, two deformed giant hands suddenly rushed out from the abyss and crashed into the original sealing formation.
