Not everyone was willing to be exploited by Ling Han. Furthermore, some people had also studied it for a long time, and thought that they would soon be able to deduce all the variations in the formation, so there was naturally no need for them to depend on Ling Han.

A total of 72 people handed over their Dao Stones. Going by that calculation, Ling Han had instantly earned 7200 Dao Stones. This speed of earning money was not the slightest bit slower than robbery.

From the look of things, Formation Master was also a good money-making profession.

Ling Han smiled. Since he had accepted the money from them, he still had his own professional ethics.

He entered into the formation, and began to study it.

Even when a Formation Master was breaking a formation, he still had to observe the formation first. Without a clear understanding, how could he possibly break the formation right off the bat?

At present, he only knew how to set up a single formation, but his understanding of formations was already very deep. Furthermore, setting up a formation and breaking it were two different things, because it was always easier to destroy than to construct.

Not long after, he already had a considerable understanding.

He was already confident that he could break the formation, so he said to

everyone, “Come, follow me.”

Everyone followed. After Ling Han had walked for a while, he threw out a formation foundation. Instantly, the area ahead of him that was originally entwined in mist was now clear and bright, and could be seen clearly.

“As expected of Brother Ling’s natural talent in formations.”

“It’s only been a short while, and you’ve already seen through this formation

and deciphered it. We’re impressed.”

Everyone did not hide their words of praise. As for Ling Han, he only smiled upon hearing this. Elites did not need to be praised, because they had enough confidence. It would be more practical to give a few more Dao Stones.

After walking for a while, Ling Han inserted the second formation foundation.

Then, he walked back and put away the first formation foundation.

Right now, formation foundations were extremely valuable, so it was naturally impossible that they could only be used once.

Continuously travelling like this, their speed wasn’t fast, but they didn’t take the wrong path either. In less than half an hour, everyone walked out from the other side of the rock formation.

And this was still within the canyon. This stone formation was like a barrier, stopping a great many people.

Everyone continued onwards. However, the ability to fly was restricted here, yet the speed of their sprint was practically unaffected. Not too long after, they had already reached the end of the canyon. Ahead of them, a precipice appeared, and there was a very large cave on the precipice.

Some people wanted to climb the precipice, but flight was not allowed here, so when they climbed to a higher height, they would be crushed by a terrifying pressure. Even Ling Han announced that he would give up after trying it out once.

This pressure was too terrifying. It was not something that could be endured just by gritting one’s teeth.

Then they would just enter the cave. This should be the next stop.

The cave was large enough, so they didn’t need to walk in a single file. They could walk side by side.

The cave wasn’t pitch-black, as some of the rocks would actually glow.

Although it wasn’t very bright, it was enough to allow one to see.

They were advancing underground, and after advancing for a distance, the mountain cave was becoming narrower and narrower, and the line that they formed became longer and thinner.

Slightly less than half a day later, the line that had initially been parallel had completely become a long line.

Ling Han didn’t stubbornly walk in front. Whoever wanted to take the lead would just have to walk in front. His left hand carried Sixth Baby, while Princess Bixiao followed behind him. They were both in the middle.

After walking for so long, they should have gone deep underground, but there was no obvious change in the temperature. It was just that the humidity had increased, and the walls of the cave were wet. There was water everywhere.

“We’re finally out!” someone cried out, filled with joy.

“Yi, there is actually a moon in the skies!”

“That can’t be, right? We are underground, so how could there be a moon?”

The people in front of him all exclaimed, filled with shock.

Ling Han also walked out. As expected, there was a golden full moon hanging in the skies, decorated with stars, just like a normal night sky.

However, this was impossible.

Ling Han activated his eye technique and looked at the sky. Instantly, he saw something different.

This moon was only tens of thousands of meters away from him, and it was only a massive round rock. There were multiple golden veined patterns on it, as if it was embedded with metal, and that was why it was exuding a golden brilliance.

If it had to be claimed that this was a moon, it was also artificially created.

A Saint’s techniques were indeed extraordinary. Not only could he easily

shatter the stars, he could even create a moon.

“Yi, why is there no way back?” someone asked in surprise.

Ling Han looked back, and sure enough, the cave entrance that they had come out of previously had strangely disappeared.

Was this a smokescreen?

He groped around on the mountain wall, but could not find the cave mouth no matter how hard he tried.

It was useless even if they blasted it. This was a solid mountain, and there was no cave at all.

Everyone clicked their tongues in amazement. It was obviously impossible for them to go back the way they had come, so they could only continue onwards.

“Since we are already here, we’ll take things as they come.”

“With so many people, who should we be afraid of?”

Everyone appeared to be filled with confidence, and walked forwards one after another.

This was a plain, but there was no grass growing here. Instead, there was dark red moss. Under the golden moonlight, it exuded a strange aura.

“Have you guys realized that there is something off about this place?” someone asked.

“That’s right. It’s too quiet here, and there doesn’t seem to be any life here — aside from these mosses.”

“Yes.”

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw the first living being that could move. That was a cockroach.

“I hate cockroaches the most.” A female cultivator raised her foot, and pa, stomped this cockroach to death.

Don’t say, there were quite a lot of cockroaches here, but this thing basically wouldn’t make any sound. Hence, the entire plain was extremely silent.

“Why does this look like a ghost land?”

“That’s right, I think so too.”

Though there were plants here, as well as living creatures that could move, they still gave off a harrowing feeling.

As they walked, the moon gradually set. However, there was no sun, and they could only see the hazy light in the sky.

This was underground, so it was already very impressive that there was such light. How could it be that they would really be hoping to see the sun?

That would be too unrealistic.

They all headed in a certain direction, and after traversing a few mountains, a stretch of waters and meadows appeared ahead of them.

They walked up, and immediately discovered that this was actually a swamp. Thankfully, with their strength, they only needed to channel mystical power, and they would naturally be able to make themselves as light as a feather. There was absolutely no need for them to worry that they would be trapped.

“Wu, so smelly.” Sixth Baby immediately covered her nose.

Although Princess Bixiao didn’t speak, her expression wasn’t any better.

It was indeed smelly. This swamp was practically a smelly pool, and the stench directly seeped into their noses, making them want to vomit.

However, were they going to turn around just because it was smelly? Impossible, and there was no way back either. The path that they had come from did not exist at all.

Everyone could only brace themselves and walk forwards. After walking for more than ten minutes, with a splash, the surface of the water split open, and mud flew everywhere. A smell that was several hundred times worse spread out, instantly causing many people’s faces to turn green.

Right at this moment, a colossal creature also scuttled out of the water, biting towards a cultivator.
