The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Accidents always come unexpectedly.

Su Xiaoya tried to use her spiritual power to touch the barrier. As soon as her fingertips touched the transparent barrier that was difficult to see with the naked eye, a powerful force with an ancient and wild aura suddenly erupted, shaking her back like a raging wave, and her blood surged in her chest.

She looked down at her numb fingertips, where there was still a trace of cold, restraining power that seemed to come from ancient times.

At this moment, the system prompt in my mind sounded on time, with a certain degree of seriousness: "An unknown barrier has been detected. It evolved from the ancient 'Soul Sealing Restriction'. It cannot be broken by brute force. It requires finding the 'Soul Awakening Key' corresponding to the core of the restriction to crack it."

"Soul Sealing Restriction? The name sounds very old. Let me take a look!" Lao Bai's voice rang out in the sea of ​​consciousness, and the golden dragon also let out a low dragon roar, obviously full of curiosity about this strange barrier.

Su Xiaoya was not opposed to it and directly opened the permissions.

Two flashes of light passed by, and Lao Bai turned into an old man in a gray robe with a weathered face.

The golden dragon stretched out its golden body, which was dozens of feet long, and its scales shone brightly in the dim light of the valley.

Several people immediately gathered around the barrier to ponder it.

Su Xiaoya frowned slightly and turned to look into the depths of the valley - she had never understood anything about complicated formations, so whether she could break through this time depended on Yu Shuheng, Lao Bai and Jin Long.

Yu Wenjianyu beside him also looked confused. He was proficient in magical attacks, but he had little knowledge of formations and talismans in the six arts of cultivation.

There is no way. Who can expect a monk who has been locked up in the imperial tomb for hundreds of years to ponder the six arts of cultivation?

Of course, housekeeping and cooking skills are all Master Yu Wenyu's stroke of genius and can be ignored.

Experts see the doorway, while laymen see the excitement!

Su Xiaoya wouldn't really just stand by and watch.

She lifted her skirt and searched carefully in the valley, her eyes sweeping over every rock, every exotic flower and plant, not missing any suspicious corner.

Since she couldn't understand the barrier itself anyway, she could start from the environment it was in and perhaps find some clues left by the person who set it up.

Lao Bai flew up and down around the barrier, occasionally extending his fingers and poking the surface of the barrier with his fingertips filled with spiritual power.

"This broken thing is as hard as ten thousand year old black iron. How can I get it untied?" He muttered as he reluctantly increased his spiritual power output, but where his fingertips touched, only a faint ripple appeared, and then it returned to normal.

Although he has lived for 100,000 years, he has been sealed in that broken box since he traveled through time. Apart from protecting the inheritance, he has no intention of studying other things.

At that time, Lao Bai was completely hopeless and was in a daze all day long. Who would have thought that he would be trapped by a barrier now?

"Hey!"

Lao Bai sighed deeply, and finally realized the feeling of "regretting not having learned enough when you need it". He secretly made up his mind that he must improve the six arts of cultivation in the future, and the first thing to be improved was this troublesome "formation".

The golden dragon showed a completely different approach. It hovered above the barrier with its huge head lowered, and its pair of lantern-like golden vertical pupils stared at the barrier.

Suddenly, it swooped down, its claws as hard as steel making a sharp sound of tearing the air as it fiercely grabbed the barrier.

"clang!"

A crisp crashing sound was heard, and the barrier remained motionless, as stable as Mount Tai, but the golden dragon's claws were slightly numb from the shock.

However, this attack was not without effect. The power of the dragon claws stimulated the surface of the barrier, and previously hidden patterns instantly emerged, interweaving into a complex network.

The lines glowed with a faint silver light, and the lines were ancient and mysterious. Sometimes they were twisted like vortexes of the galaxy, and sometimes they were straight like the boundary between heaven and earth. They seemed to be the code of the universe, waiting for people to decipher.

The golden dragon shook its head and circled in the air again, staring intently with its two large lantern-like eyes, as if trying to see through the core mystery of the barrier through the lines.

Yu Shuheng stood aside from beginning to end, with his arms folded, his brows furrowed, his deep gaze scanning back and forth between the barrier patterns and the surrounding environment, as if he was deep in thought.

Yu Shuheng is a military enthusiast. He is not only keen on hot weapons, but also has a special liking for ancient battle formations and prohibitions.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up like a shooting star across the night sky. He pointed at a shimmering pattern in the barrier and said excitedly, "Look! This 'Mountain-Suppressing Pattern' and the 'Spirit-Guiding Line' next to it are somewhat similar to the 'Ancient Star Defense Rune' I previously recorded in an ancient book! This rune uses the stars as its guide, and you need to find the 'Star Key' that corresponds to the rune to activate the method to break it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around, their eyes fixed on the pattern Yu Shuheng pointed to. Old Bai leaned in closer, squinting his eyes and examining it for a long time before smacking his lips. "Where can I find this 'Star Key'?"

At this moment, Yuwen Zhangyu suddenly pointed to the east side of the valley and shouted in surprise, "Look over there!"

Everyone's gaze shifted quickly like lightning, and they saw seven strange symbols carved on the stone wall on one side of the valley.

These symbols vary in size, some resemble crescent moons, some resemble shooting stars, and some resemble the arrangement of the Big Dipper. They emit a silver glow similar to the patterns on the barrier, as if they are mysterious codes hiding endless secrets.

Su Xiaoya was the first to run over like an arrow, her fingertips lightly brushing against the symbols on the stone wall, and a cool touch came over her.

The next second, the system prompt sounded again: "'Star Key' detected, matching the core rune of the barrier. Analyzing the cracking logic... Analysis successful. You must activate the key with spiritual power according to the order of 'rising and setting stars', while guiding your own spiritual power to resonate with the barrier patterns."

When Su Xiaoya heard the system's words, she was suddenly filled with joy.

She took a deep breath to calm herself, and compared the order of "star rising and setting" given by the system - starting from the symbol representing "Morning Star", activating the symbols of "Everlasting Star", "Big Dipper" and so on in turn, while concentrating on observing the changes in the patterns on the barrier.

When she used her fingertips to inject spiritual power into the first 'Morning Star' symbol, the symbol on the stone wall instantly lit up. At the same time, the corresponding 'Spirit Line' on the barrier also emitted the same light.

Su Xiaoya was delighted and activated the remaining six symbols in order. As the last symbol, the Purple Star, lit up, the entire stone wall seemed to transform into a starry sky. The light of the seven symbols intertwined, forming a beam of light that shot towards the barrier.

Su Xiaoya muttered to herself, reciting the "Spirit Awakening Spell" prompted by the system, and at the same time injected her own spiritual power into the light column without reservation.

She could clearly feel her spiritual power flowing into the barrier along the beam of light, entwining and merging with those ancient patterns. The barrier that originally resisted external forces seemed to have found a home and began to tremble slightly.

At first, the lines on the surface of the barrier became brighter. As Su Xiaoya continued to inject spiritual power, the lines began to flow slowly, as if they came alive.

Immediately afterwards, the barrier became more and more transparent, and the originally indestructible barrier began to gradually dissipate from the edge like melting ice and snow.

Gradually, the speed of dissipation became faster and faster, and finally turned into a sky full of silver light, which was blown away in the valley by the wind, as if it had never existed.

Su Xiaoya looked at the empty valley entrance in front of her, stunned. She raised her hand in disbelief and touched the place where the barrier was originally located - there was only fresh air there, and there was no obstruction at all.

"I didn't expect it to be successful!" she murmured to herself, her heart full of surprise.

Yu Shuheng and the others were also so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. Their eyes were as if attracted by a magnet and fixed on Su Xiaoya.

Lao Bai patted his thigh and said, "You're quite good, girl! This method of breaking the barrier looks simple, but if it were someone else, even if they knew where the talisman key was, they might not be able to make the spiritual power resonate with the barrier!"

The golden dragon also let out a cheerful dragon roar, and its huge dragon head rubbed Su Xiaoya's shoulder to express approval.

The hidden spirit elephant, which had been blocked outside the barrier, now completely ignored everything around it and ran in happily with big strides.

Its huge body was like a small mountain, but it nimbly avoided the surrounding rocks, ran to Su Xiaoya, lowered its big head and began to rub her cheek affectionately, making a gentle whimpering sound, as if expressing its grievances.
