In an instant, a burnt smell mingled with the aroma of meat wafted out. The sixth-tier blue bear demon let out a painful howl, then collapsed to the ground, its body completely blackened, lifeless.

Lin Yitang also pretended to have exhausted her spiritual energy, her face was pale, and she was panting heavily. She took out a fasting pill from her storage bag and swallowed it to rest for a while.

Seeing this, Xie Qingrang didn't mind Lin Yitang's careless consumption of spiritual energy. After all, under a life-threatening situation, using one or two Spirit Recovery Pills was nothing to worry about.

He looked at Lin Yitang with a complicated expression and asked, "Junior Sister, when you cast a spell... do you not need to form hand seals?"

The reason he failed to defeat the sixth-tier cold beast was because he was a fraction too slow in casting the spell and forming hand seals. But Lin Yitang didn't even bother with hand gestures or incantations before unleashing this lightning-based spell. Could it be that she has already grasped the legendary meaning of the Five Elements?

Upon hearing Xie Qingrang's question, Lin Yitang nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, Senior Brother. It's a long story. I only came to this understanding by chance in the Twin Lotus Cave, with the help of my fellow senior brothers and sisters."

She was rather modest and didn't mention which of the five elements she had comprehended, since she had comprehended all five of them.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingrang's expression immediately changed.

The meaning of the Five Elements is something that can only be comprehended by those who have achieved a high level of expertise in a particular aspect of the Five Elements. Even among elite disciples, very few have grasped the meaning of the Five Elements.

Unexpectedly, this junior sister, who is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, has grasped the meaning of the Five Elements at such a young age, and it seems to be quite profound. She has even reached the point where she can cast spells without forming hand seals.

Just how strong is her comprehension?!

It can only be said that he truly deserves to be a disciple of the elite class even at the Foundation Establishment stage; he is indeed a prodigy.

He snapped out of his daze and looked at Lin Yitang with a hint of admiration, saying, "You guys are really amazing. With such an outstanding disciple like you, it seems our chances of rescuing Ming Yijun are much greater. Now that we've dealt with the Frost Beast, let's hurry to the center of the Land of No Spirits."

Along the way, they encountered more and more cultivators, including many disciples from the Tianxuan Sect and Tianyan Sect.

Lin Yitang seemed to remember something and suddenly said to Xie Qingrang, "By the way, senior brother, after I arrive at the scene, I may not be able to act with you. I will have to hide."

Xie Qingrang asked in confusion, "Why?"

Lin Yitang said, "Because I'm afraid that the Tianxuan Sect and the Tianyan Sect will notice me."

Xie Qingrang was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and agreed, "Yes, you and Ming Yijun are both disciples of True Monarch Xuanhui. I had forgotten about that! Everyone came here for Ming Yijun. If you also showed up, you would definitely become the target of everyone's criticism. Not only would we start arguing, but we might not even be able to protect you properly."

"Moreover, you are now a celebrity in the cultivation world and stand out among the new generation of disciples in various sects. I imagine the elite disciples of other sects would like to get rid of you as soon as possible. It might be very dangerous for you to appear under everyone's noses."

He gave Lin Yitang an approving look and praised, "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. It seems you're not just a fool who only knows how to fight but not how to use his brain. Very good."

After the two reached an agreement, Lin Yitang took another disguise pill, transforming himself into a rogue male cultivator.

In order to avoid attracting attention this time, he did not use the appearance of the young male cultivator from last time, but instead looked more mature and slovenly, making him stand out among the rogue cultivators.

When the two arrived at their destination, countless cultivators were gathered around the stone forest; there were at least several hundred of them.

These cultivators came from various sects, their sect robes were all different colors, and Lin Yitang didn't even recognize some of them.

Their expressions as they looked at the Stone Forest were very serious, as if they were weighing something, and they had no intention of entering the Stone Forest.

At this moment, Xie Qingrang had already found the other disciples of the sect and gave them a look. Lin Yitang, on the other hand, quietly blended into the group of onlookers and spectators. Her disguise was very successful, and she was inconspicuous in the crowd.

The onlookers were also discussing the incident animatedly.

"The disciples of the major sects are truly remarkable. I heard that when Ming Yijun disappeared a hundred years ago, he was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. Yet, in just a hundred years, he is already planning to form his Nascent Soul. Such talent is truly terrifying. No wonder all the sects want to eliminate him."

"If I remember correctly, Ming Yijun is less than two hundred years old even with this hundred years, right? You know, the lifespan of a Golden Core cultivator is a thousand years, and to reach the Nascent Soul stage so early... My God, it's terrifying. These top experts form their Nascent Souls within a hundred years of age, and become Nascent Soul experts within a few hundred years, while we struggle for hundreds of years and still can't form our cores, and even exhaust our lifespans."

"Don't forget, the most important reason is that he is a disciple of True Monarch Xuanhui, which is why he must be eliminated. Xuanhui was a top-tier cultivator in the cultivation world, and his disciples are naturally the next generation of cultivators in the cultivation world."

"But it's really foolish of Ming Yijun to choose to form his Nascent Soul here. He'll just become a sitting duck for everyone."

"Don't be fooled, he might not be stupid. There's definitely a reason why he chose this place."

Hearing the discussion around her, Lin Yitang's curiosity was piqued, and she asked, "What's the story? Can you tell me what this place is, and why no one wants to go in?"

Upon hearing Lin Yitang's question, someone replied, "This is an extremely dangerous place. Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just a stone forest on the surface. In fact, it's the ruins left behind by an ancient Nascent Soul cultivator. It is said that this cultivator was a powerful array master, and these stone forests were used by him to cast arrays."

"Even now, although the formation has long since disappeared, it still has a huge impact on this place. For example, it makes the spiritual energy in the stone forest chaotic and mixed with other energies, and sometimes it can even interfere with the release of divine sense and spiritual energy. If you are not careful, you can be affected by some inexplicable forces, which is extremely dangerous."

"Some say that although the formation here has disappeared, some areas still retain the power of the formation. Others say that this place is not actually a huge formation, but is composed of many small formations, which is why different areas have different energies and crises."

"However, in general, the power of the ancient cultivators has already eroded this place everywhere. If we rashly enter, we might not even know how we died. We are only watching from afar and we are already feeling a bit terrified. Let the disciples of the major sects explore such a life-threatening matter."

Lin Yitang nodded, resting her chin on her hand, inwardly marveling at how much more the real local disciples knew. She herself didn't even know this place existed, after all, she was just a fake local.

She asked with some doubt, "If that's the case, and this place is so dangerous, how did those who witnessed Ming Yijun appear here manage to see him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people laughed, as if they had heard something ridiculous.
