Chapter 229: Incense Table

Seeing Huo Feng keep testing, seemingly wanting to rely on brute force to forcibly break the restriction, Song Qingming thought for a moment and stepped forward to say: "Senior, why don't you let me take a look! Maybe I can save you some effort."

"Alright! Then you try first! I'll see if there's any other way to get in." Huo Feng looked back at Song Qingming, put away her hand, slowly stepped down from the steps, and gave up the position to him.

Song Qingming walked to the giant gate and looked carefully, discovering that the restriction on this gate was somewhat similar to the formation on the stone platform outside the inner valley he had broken earlier. As long as he spent some time, it was not very difficult to break.

With the previous experience, this time Song Qingming spent even less time and broke the restriction on the gate in less than two days.

With a golden light shining from the crack of the gate, the entire giant gate began to vibrate, and Song Qingming hurriedly retreated dozens of steps.

"It seems! Bringing you in with me this time was truly the right choice. When we get inside later, if we really get something good, you can also pick a few pieces!" Huo Feng stepped forward and patted Song Qingming on the shoulder, saying loudly to him with a happy face.

Earlier, she had searched back and forth in the vicinity but didn't find any other entrance, so she could only return to the giant gate with disappointment. She didn't expect that Song Qingming would break the restriction on the giant gate so quickly.

The demon race was not good at cultivation techniques, and they rarely came into contact with this kind of formation path that even human cultivators rarely pondered.

Like Huo Feng, a great demon who could transform, although she would use a few restrictions left by the demon race, facing such slightly more complicated formation restrictions in the human race, she had no way and could only rely on brute force to break them.

In fact, this was not Huo Feng's first time entering the Taiyue secret realm. When she came in last time, she followed those major sect disciples and found the location of the secret realm's inner valley entrance.

It was just that those sect disciples, after entering from the formation entrance, in order to be safe and not let other strange cultivators sneak in to compete for spirit items, would basically leave a few people to guard the entrance formation. Huo Feng, whose cultivation was suppressed in the secret realm, for the sake of her own safety, naturally dared not appear in front of them easily and could only look for other entrances.

Unexpectedly, after searching a few circles, she really found a formation that no one had ever entered in an inconspicuous pile of rubble.

It was a pity that other sects entering the inner valley had specially brought a few formation masters above the second grade, who could easily break the restriction above and enter the inner valley. But she came alone and was not good at the way of formations, so she could only try to break it by force. As a result, after spending more than ten days of effort, she still couldn't completely break the restriction and could only leave in disappointment before the secret realm closed.

At the Fuyun Mountain Range, when she first caught Song Qingming, Huo Feng soon learned that he understood the way of formations, which gave her an idea and she intentionally set a trap to bring him here.

A moment later, the gate had automatically opened more than halfway, and Huo Feng and Song Qingming walked in one after another.

Behind this giant gate was another open space dozens of feet wide, like a huge courtyard. On the other side of the courtyard, there were a few separate red palaces.

Song Qingming scanned the palaces in front several times, and after a flash in his eyes, a look of surprise flashed on his face.

"Senior, could this space be a cave dwelling built by ancient cultivators? How did you discover this place?"

Compared to the majestic giant gate and plaque outside the palace, the few palaces inside didn't know what kind of materials they were built with. Not only were they colorful and gorgeous, but the entire palace also kept emitting bright golden light, making people unable to take their eyes off it as soon as they looked.

"This secret realm and the place where I asked you to go in to take the Fire-Scale Fruit back then actually came from the same ancient great power. It's just that the previous secret realm was affected by the human-demon war tens of thousands of years ago, and it was already very unstable inside, while this secret realm is still intact." Seeing these palaces, a smile that was hard to hide also appeared on Huo Feng's face now.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I said why these two places would have some similarities and both suppress the cultivation of cultivators. Is this place we have arrived at now the cave dwelling of that senior?"

Hearing Huo Feng's explanation, Song Qingming finally understood some questions in his heart. No wonder he had always felt that these two secret realms had some connection since he heard the detailed information about the Taiyue secret realm from Huang Shengyue. Unexpectedly, it was just as he thought; these two secret realms were actually opened up by the same person.

Huo Feng nodded and said: "It should be. However, such ancient great power cultivators certainly wouldn't have only one cave dwelling. I don't know what he would leave here now."

As the two were talking, they had already walked outside one of the three palaces on the far left.

Huo Feng stepped forward and pushed the palace gate. Only hearing a creak, the red wooden door was pushed open inward directly.

Seeing Huo Feng open it so easily, Song Qingming also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this place didn't set up any more restrictions, otherwise, he would have to be busy for a while again.

After the Taiyue Lake secret realm opened, it would close again in a month. No matter who it was, they had to leave this place within this time, otherwise, once the secret realm closed, it would be impossible to get out from inside.

From the time Song Qingming entered the secret realm until now, almost twenty days had passed, and they didn't have much time to stay here.

After Huo Feng walked in, Song Qingming saw that there was no movement, so he followed in with peace of mind.

When he got inside and looked, Song Qingming discovered that although the space of this hall was also very large, it was empty inside, almost to the point of being empty.

The only place with things was in the middle of the hall, where a table and an incense burner were placed. In the middle of the center, three portraits were hung, just like an incense table for sacrifice.

Song Qingming walked closer and looked, only then seeing clearly these few things before him, none of which were ordinary things.

This table was ink-black, and it also emitted a faint fragrance, which should be refined from a special spirit wood, so it could not rot for many years.

The incense burner placed on the table looked very ordinary, and there was some light yellow incense ash inside, and he didn't know how many years it had been placed there.

Song Qingming's spiritual sense probed slightly on the incense burner and found that it couldn't enter it at all, which was very surprising. It seemed that it was also a magic tool of a not-low grade, but he didn't know what specific function it had.
