It was a natural cloaking formation . Even a body condensation state cultivator might not be able to scan the spirit sense inside, much less his false core state spirit sense .
What shook Ye Mo the most was that the place was very hidden, but it didn't have any unique marks . How did Li Yuqian find it? How did the cultivator before her find it?
However, Ye Mo cast these thoughts aside . He could ask her how she found it and if she didn't want to talk about it, it didn't really matter to him anyway .
Ye Mo's spirit sense pierced the natural formation and went into a stone room .
It was about 10 sqm . Someone must've found the natural formation first and built a stone room inside .
There was a skeleton inside the room, it was probably the cultivator Li Yuqian spoke of . There was no Li Zhe Fire there, but inside the stone wall behind the room, Ye Mo found a faint orange fire .
Was that the Li Zhe Fire? Ye Mo stared at the faint gust of fire in confusion . He had seen Rare Fire Seeds before . The big elder of the Magical Herb Sect had one . It was a Ken Qing Fire ranked 26, but even that was countless times stronger than this alleged "Li Zhe Fire" .
The Li Zhe Fire ranked 29, so it shouldn't be this far off .
However, the faint yellow fire had a sliver of white smoke . It was the signature of the Li Zhe Fire . What surprised Ye Mo was that the flame was faint, but still had an orange colour .
Ye Mo knew the levels of Rare Flames . From low to high, it was yellow, orange, red, green, aqua, blue and purple . The lowest level was pale yellow, but when it was dark yellow, it could ascend to orange . This flame was already pale orange .
Ye Mo shook his head . He was disappointed, but it was still a Rare Flame . When Ye Mo's spirit sense locked onto this flame, he immediately noticed something wasn't right . The flame hadn't been casually left behind, it was bound there .
He had to break the restriction to take the flame .
Restrictions had a lot of similarities with formations, but it was much simpler than a formation . Any cultivator could build simple restrictions, but the high-level restrictions were no easier than formation .
Ye Mo believed the restriction would be no problem for him, but when he scanned the restriction with his spirit sense, he realized he was greatly wrong . The restriction was very strong . At least, he couldn't put it down .
It was also an attack restriction, which meant that if it wasn't undone properly, it would attack the person .
Ye Mo calmed down . He didn't think things seemed to be so simple . He scanned his spirit sense around carefully and when he scanned the four corners of the room, he almost screamed .
He found that the stone room had actually been formed before the natural formation there, since the stone room had been completely embedded in the formation .
Ye Mo knew there was no way that this world would form a stone room and then form a natural formation around it .
The only explanation was that it was no natural formation, it was artificial . A person had managed to lay down a natural formation - even Ye Mo was shook .
The attributes of a natural formation were that there was no way for it to be found . Artificial formations left some traces behind . If someone could set up a formation without leaving any traces behind, how powerful were this person's formation skills? Ye Mo didn't even dare to imagine .
Ye Mo looked at that skeleton and understood some things . It seemed that the cultivator hadn't brought the Li Zhe Fire there . Perhaps he had wanted to get the fire and got killed by the restriction . Then, Li Yuqian found the cultivator and the fire . She had taken the storage ring but didn't take the fire .
This meant that someone else had brought the fire there and restrained it .
For some reason, that person never came back again . Ye Mo thought about it . Did that person leave it there for the fire to evolve? If so, then if he undid the restriction, he would get an orange level Rare Flame .
Ye Mo's heart was beating very quickly with these thoughts . However, he didn't let this blind him . He knew that the restriction was not easy to break . He also needed to figure out how the spirit sense barrier formation had been set up . If he understood that, it would benefit him greatly . Perhaps due to the experience he was going to gain today, he could build a natural formation as well .
Ye Mo had cultivated the Three Birth Chant and he was much stronger than an ordinary cultivator in terms of insight . He was a high-level formation master himself, so he didn't take long to notice the strange features of the formation .
The stone wall seemed to be able to faintly suck spirit chi . How could a stone wall suck spirit chi? Ye Mo immediately realized that the stone wall was the core of the formation .
The Li Zhe Fire was inside the stone wall . If he broke the stone wall to take the fire, then the restriction would get activated . If he didn't break the stone wall and just tried to take the fire, the restriction would still get activated .
If one wanted to prevent the restriction from getting activated and get the fire, he had to break the formation first in a non-destructive way .
Forcefully breaking the stone wall or spirit controlling the Li Zhe Fire would activate the restriction .
However, since Ye Mo could see the core of the formation, he could solve it . It wasn't a very strong formation, it was just a spirit sense barrier formation .
Ye Mo took out his materials and started to make formation flags . A few hours later, Ye Mo had made 30 flags and spread them around the corners . Then, he activated them, he even used top-grade spirit stones .
An hour later, the stone wall cracked and Ye Mo rejoiced . He had broken the connection between the stone wall and the restriction .
However, Ye Mo found that at the same time he solved the problem with the formation, the restriction had also released the fire automatically . He didn't have to take care of the restriction anymore .
But the next moment, Ye Mo cursed . He had to gather all of his cultivation essence to stop the Li Zhe Fire and he tried to forcefully spirit control it .
He realized that breaking the formation wasn't exactly helping . Once the Li Zhe Fire escaped the restriction, it was going to escape . It seemed that the person behind all of this didn't want anyone to get the Li Zhe Fire no matter what .
Ye Mo had gone all the way there for the fire . He wasn't going to let it escape! However, Ye Mo found he had been greatly wrong . He had thought the pale flame would be easy to capture, but when he surrounded the flame with his spirit sense and cultivation essence, it immediately emanated intense heat . Even the spirit stones he had thrown before became the flame's nutrition .
