Chapter 38 I just took it out to look at it, why did you kneel down?
"Sir, are we... really going to walk over there?"
Fang Qingxue looked up at the giant snow mountain that pierced the clouds, its body shrouded in colorful mist, and an indescribable aura wafted towards her.
She was not afraid of the cold.
As a master of internal energy transformation, this bit of wind and snow was nothing more than a gentle breeze to her.
What truly terrified her was the mountain itself.
It was an extreme sense of antiquity and desolation, mixed with a power capable of destroying everything.
Even from a distance, her soul seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand, about to be crushed into dust.
She had no doubt that any creature that dared to approach her would be completely wiped out the moment it entered her territory, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.
"What else? Fly over?"
Lin Fan took out the animal hide map and, while comparing it, spoke in an annoyed tone.
"Didn't you hear what the old Taoist priest said? This place is called Kunlun Ruins, the place where ancient gods fought."
"The restrictions in the sky are even denser than those on the ground. If you fly up there now, it's no different from a fly flying into a high-voltage power grid."
"With a 'snap,' you were gone, not even a trace left."
Fang Qingxue's face instantly turned pale.
She understood that Lin Fan's words were true.
In the family's ancient records, Kunyu Ruins is also known as "the place where all gods fell".
In ancient times, countless earth-shattering beings perished here. Their power dissipated after death, merging with the might of heaven and earth, transforming into terrifying, naturally occurring yet deadly killing arrays.
"Then...then this map..."
"This map shows a path dug out by a dog, which just happens to bypass those deadly killing formations."
Lin Fan's finger traced the crooked curve on the map.
"Look, here, 'Immortal Valley,' you can tell from the name that once you go in, you can't come out. So we have to go around from the 'One Line Sky' next to it."
"And this, 'Wanleipo,' is probably a frequent lightning strike zone. We need to time it right, wait for it to rain at night, and run over there during the breaks in the thunder..."
Lin Fan explained things very clearly, his relaxed demeanor as if he were introducing a guide to sneaking into a tourist attraction without paying.
Fang Qingxue was somewhat bewildered.
She looked at the map, which seemed like scribbles to her, then at Lin Fan, her mind filled with unsolvable confusion.
How did you understand this picture, sir?
What is drawn on it is clearly ancient script and array symbols that have long been lost.
She naturally had no idea that the inheritance Lin Fan received from signing in was far more than just martial arts and medical skills; it also included a vast amount of diverse knowledge, including the deciphering of these ancient scripts.
"Alright, stop spacing out and stay close."
Lin Fan put away the map, checked his location, and stepped forward.
Fang Qingxue immediately composed herself and quickly followed.
The two walked one after the other across this ancient and desolate ice field.
The only sound here is the howling wind; the surrounding environment is extremely unfriendly to life, and even the most resilient moss cannot be found.
After traveling for about half an hour, the terrain ahead suddenly became complicated.
One after another, sharp-edged cliffs rise abruptly from the ground, intertwining and forming a vast stone forest.
Within the stone forest, a faint white mist silently permeates and surges.
"Sir, be careful!" Fang Qingxue's expression suddenly turned serious. "This is the 'Bewitching Illusion Array'! One of the most dangerous natural illusion arrays on the outskirts of Kunlun!"
"Once you step inside, you lose all five senses, your six consciousnesses become chaotic, and you will be trapped in this state forever, until your life force is exhausted!"
An elder in her family had once mistakenly entered a similar formation and managed to escape only thanks to a life-saving magical artifact.
But after he came out, he went completely mad, constantly muttering that he had seen countless demons and monsters.
"An illusion array?"
Lin Fan stopped and looked at the stone forest and white mist ahead with great interest.
His "Divine Healer's Eye" quietly activated, and the scene before him was instantly deconstructed.
This is not some kind of illusion array.
However, it is an area with an extremely special geomagnetic field, where light is irregularly refracted due to the influence of the force field, thus interfering with the vision and mental state of intruders.
To put it simply, it's a giant, natural "funhouse mirror".
"Why all this mystical stuff? It's just a magnetic field disorder area, isn't it?" Lin Fan scoffed, feeling it was making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Sir, you must not be careless! This formation can also trigger inner demons, which is extremely dangerous!" Fang Qingxue warned urgently.
"Inner demons? My biggest inner demon is not wanting to get up early tomorrow. Can this really trigger that?"
Lin Fan muttered something to himself, not taking it seriously at all, and started to walk inside.
"Sir!" Fang Qingxue's heart tightened, and she instinctively reached out to grab him.
Just then, Lin Fan seemed to remember something, and his movements suddenly stopped.
He pulled out a palm-sized fragment of the "Human Emperor's Seal," which resembled broken copper and scrap iron, from his pocket.
He didn't intend to use this thing to break the formation.
The main problem was that this thing felt uncomfortable in his pocket, so he wanted to take it out and think about whether he could find a rope to tie it around his waist.
However, the moment the fragment of the Human Emperor's Seal appeared in his palm...
An unexpected change occurred.
The thick white fog in front of them, which had been so dense that it seemed impossible to disperse, suddenly retreated and submitted to the sides as if it had encountered a king's subjects!
In the stone forest, the light that had been distorted and disordered by the force field was also smoothed out at the same moment, restoring its clarity.
An ancient path paved with bluestone slabs appeared out of thin air in the very center of the stone forest, leading straight to the other end of the formation.
The entire "Bewitching Immortal Array" automatically made way for Lin Fan simply because he took out that piece of "broken copper and scrap iron"!
Fang Qingxue stood behind Lin Fan, her mouth unconsciously agape, her pupils filled with utter disbelief.
What did she see?
The "Bewitching Immortal Array," which drove the family elders mad and was hailed as the most dangerous place in Kunlun, just like that... surrendered without a fight?
What exactly happened?
She stared blankly at the ordinary bronze fragment in Lin Fan's hand, then at Lin Fan's innocent expression that seemed to say, "I just took it out to look at it." She felt that her understanding had been completely shattered.
"Huh? The fog's gone?"
Lin Fan was also taken aback. He looked down at the "broken copper and scrap iron" in his hand, then looked at the path that had suddenly appeared in front of him, and scratched his head in confusion.
"Hey, this thing... it's a voice-activated flashlight?"
He didn't even consider the mystical notion of "the emperor's power over all laws."
It seemed that perhaps the metal block had some kind of strange physical reaction with the magnetic field of this place, which coincidentally broke the natural force field.
"Luckily, at least we didn't have to take a detour."
Lin Fan happily put the Emperor's Seal back into his pocket, then swaggered down the bluestone path.
"Let's go, what are you still standing there for? The fog will close up again soon."
He turned around and waved to Fang Qingxue, who was still frozen in place.
Fang Qingxue jolted awake, as if from a dream, and hurriedly jogged after him.
She followed closely behind Lin Fan, watching his leisurely figure as if he were strolling in his own backyard. Her definition of the word "powerful" was once again completely reshaped.
It turns out that true strength is not about overcoming danger.
Instead, when you appear, all dangers will automatically make way for you.
This is the proper demeanor of a deity.
