Mortal: Fishing the Heavenly Dao to Become the Ancestor of the Five Elements

Chapter 41 Endless Desert, Ma Yuan Tells the Truth

Two hours later, the three passed by the Taiyue Mountains.

Then he flew towards the endless desert.

Qin Tian and Song Meng looked at each other, both with surprise in their eyes.

Neither of them had expected that the remains of the Golden Core Master in the treasure map were in this desert.

This is not a good place. Although there are some rare and precious special herbs and medicines, they cannot cover up the fact that there is a lack of spiritual energy and scarce resources here.

three days later.

The three of them flew in the desert for three days. It turned out that it was comfortable to travel with a mount or a large spaceship.

"We're here, let's go down."

Ma Yuan swooped down, and Qin Tian and Song Meng quickly followed.

Soon, the three of them landed on the desert and casually put away their mounts, flying swords, and flying boats.

Ma Yuan took out the treasure map and started looking at it, while Qin Tian and Song Meng released their spiritual sense to survey the surrounding area.

However, both of them found nothing and didn't even see a formation.

"Brother Ma, are you sure the ruins you mentioned are here?" Song Meng said it was a bit far-fetched.

Qin Tian didn't say anything and nodded silently.

"Hahahahahaha, don't be anxious, my two junior brothers, follow me." Ma Yuan used the earth escape technique to dive down and soon disappeared on the desert.

Song Meng and Qin Tian suddenly realized that the feelings were underneath.

But even if it's down there, they wouldn't be completely unable to find anything.

It was useless to think too much. Ma Meng looked at Qin Tian and said, "Brother Qin, have you learned the earth escape technique? If not, I will take you down."

Qin Tian smiled confidently, "Don't worry, brother."

After saying that, Qin Tian also used the earth escape technique to dive downwards.

Although the desert is all yellow sand, it is ultimately an earth-based thing.

Song Meng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his junior fellow apprentice had such a good understanding. He had learned a lot of intermediate five elements spells in just three months.

If he can learn the earth escape technique, he must have learned other offensive spells as well.

Song Meng followed closely.

Until a hundred meters below.

Only then did Qin Tian and Song Meng see Ma Yuan standing outside a formation.

Seeing Qin Tian and Song Meng looking like they had gained some new knowledge, Ma Yuan laughed and said through voice transmission, "Hahahahahahaha, you two junior brothers didn't expect that this formation was in the yellow sand a hundred meters below, did you?"

"If it weren't for this, this place would have been discovered long ago, and there would be no chance for the three of us to come here."

Qin Tian's spiritual consciousness began to observe the formation. After all, he had a foundation in formation and was a true junior to mid-level formation master.

It turned out to be an advanced elementary formation.

However, Qin Tian didn’t know what kind of formation this was, what its effects were, or whether it was dangerous.

Qin Tian asked in a voice transmission: "Senior Brother Ma Yuan, this formation looks very high-level. It should not be something that the three of us can break, right? Or does Senior Brother Ma Yuan understand this formation?" Although Song Meng was not a formation master, he still understood basic common sense. At least, he had no way to deal with this formation.

Ma Yuan thought for a moment, then looked at the two and said truthfully, "Both of you are my good friends. Of all the disciples in Huangfeng Valley, to be honest, I trust you the most. Brother Song is my best friend, and we've been through danger together many times. I won't mention that. Even Brother Qin Tian, ​​although we haven't known each other for long, we hit it off right away, and we have a karmic connection."

"Ma will tell you the truth."

Qin Tian and Song Meng were caught off guard by Ma Yuan. They looked at each other and then looked at Ma Yuan quietly.

Ma Yuan revealed everything he had been hiding: "This place is indeed the remains of a Jindan Zhenren, but I know this Jindan Zhenren, and that treasure map is also a treasure inherited by my Ma family."

"Because this Jindan Zhenren was the ancestor of my Ma family. When he was about to die, considering that the Ma family was unable to protect everything he left behind, he deliberately found a secluded place outside to sit and pass away."

"And my Ma family announced to the public that our ancestor had died outside."

"Although many people didn't believe this rumor back then, my Ma family didn't get any of our ancestor's treasures. This is an ironclad fact. Plus, our ancestor had a deep connection with the Yellow Maple Valley. With the protection of the Yellow Maple Valley, the matter was left unresolved."

Qin Tian and Song Meng looked at each other, both showing surprise.

Obviously, even Qin Tian, ​​who was very careful and thoughtful about everything, was deceived at first and naively thought that this was an unfamiliar golden elixir relic.

As expected, there are no stupid people in the world of cultivating immortals. You are a smart person, but others are not fools. You may have the halo of the protagonist, but it is only the greatest blessing. Others also have their own blessings and their own calculations.

The protagonist's halo that forcibly lowers people's intelligence obviously only exists in real stories.

Song Meng asked in confusion, "If that's the case, why did Brother Ma bring the two of us here to divide the treasure?"

While waiting for the answer, Qin Tian became extremely cautious and calculated his cards one by one.

After this incident, Qin Tian felt that it would be difficult for him to trust everything a person said in the future, even if that person was a very good friend.

Prepare for the worst, keep enough cards in reserve, learn from Han Lao Mo, and surpass Han Lao Mo!!!

Even if Ma Yuan was being cautious this time, it is impossible that in the future everyone will act out of self-preservation without any intention to harm others.

Ma Yuan sighed. "Oh, if only it were that simple. According to the information left by our ancestor, I am capable of leading us in, but one of our ancestor's spiritual pets is still alive inside. You all know that spiritual beasts have lifespans and survival abilities far exceeding ours."

"But don't worry. Although I'm definitely no match for him alone, if we three work together, we have a good chance of defeating him. After all, I was planning to bring Brother Song here alone."

"The ancestor had no other motives for leaving the spirit beast behind. Firstly, he had deep feelings for it and was reluctant to kill it with his own hands. Secondly, he wanted to prevent this place from being taken by others and left it to protect the inheritance."

Even though Ma Yuan's words were sincere, Qin Tian still planned to understand the situation inside first. If there was any discrepancy after entering, he would have no choice but to take ruthless action: "Brother Ma Yuan, do you have any way to let us in? Also, what realm is that spirit beast in? What kind of spirit beast is it? Is there any other mechanism, killing array, or trapping array inside?"

As for taking over someone else's body, Qin Tian was not really worried. Qin Tian didn't believe that hundreds of years had passed and the other party's soul could still exist after death, unless that person was a powerful being in the Nascent Soul stage.

"I've said before that it will take a year to enter here, because this formation is a blood spirit formation, which only has defensive effects. And every hundred years, there will be three days, allowing future generations to use their blood essence as a key to open the formation and enter."

"Today is the first of three days."

"As for that spirit beast, it's a fourth-level spirit beast, comparable to the late stage of foundation building, and its name is Golden-Eyed Flying Dove."

"As for whether there are any traps or formations inside, there are traps, but the formations are gone. And don't worry, I can break those traps."

"All we have to do is kill that fourth-level monster, the Golden-Eyed Flying Dove."

Ma Yuan understood that the two men were afraid that he had bad intentions, so he told them everything he knew.

This is also the biggest reason why he must tell the two of them about the situation here outside. Otherwise, if he really tells them after going inside, he is afraid that it will really hurt the feelings of the three of them.
