Chapter 442

...then the other members could see the scene that this member was seeing.

It must be said that this function was still very powerful; it was simply an otherworldly version of a video chat.

However, one pity was that

for the Soul Chain to connect seven members, all seven members had to be present.

And they had to relax their minds and let Qin Feng invade their minds

in order to establish the bond of the Soul Chain.

Under these conditions, as long as one person didn't dare to open up completely to Qin Feng, the Soul Chain could not be established successfully.

This could be considered a limitation of using the Soul Chain.

After all, in this life, there really aren't many companions who can wholeheartedly entrust their lives and souls to you and trust you.

This time, Qin Feng was truly lucky.

The companions he met all shared a secret and were people with beliefs and ideals; some could even give up everything for it.

If it were elsewhere, in other scenarios,

even if Qin Feng had the Soul Chain, it might not necessarily be of any use.

Due to the existence of the limitation, the Soul Chain could not be transferred to the Dean of Mobis Academy at this moment.

If the Dean of Mobis Academy wanted to know the appearance of these formation patterns, he had to have Lin An relay it.

However, they were outside after all.

Whatever they wanted to do was convenient.

Plus the status of the Dean of Mobis Academy,

it took only over an hour for them to obtain the materials that could carry these formation patterns.

And Lin An drew them down.

During this hour, Qin Feng and the others weren't idle either.

They circled the red hill roughly, getting a rough idea of the surrounding terrain and the distribution of animals and plants.

"This is a protective barrier. As long as you don't attack it, it won't hurt you."

"However, it is a barrier that the current power of the Mobis Kingdom has no way to break."

"Even if a tenth-level Proof of Dao expert went, they couldn't break this barrier."

"But things are not so absolute; there is a back door left in this barrier."

"This back door is not left for invaders, but for the guardians."

"Based on the intelligence obtained earlier, we have already inferred that the Kaiyuan Secret Realm is very likely related to the ancient ruin—the Sunset Empire."

"If you can hold the token of the Sunset Empire, you might be able to enter this barrier."

After waiting for over an hour, they finally received the Dean's reply.

They weren't surprised at all that the barrier was so strong that they couldn't possibly break it.

Qin Feng hadn't expected the Dean of Mobis Academy to find a way to crack the barrier.

After all, the gap between the Sunset Empire and the Mobis Kingdom was still very, very large.

But having such a back door was truly a pleasant surprise.

"Could the token of the Sunset Empire be a pass?"

Lin An, Qin Feng, Beigong Yun, and Beigong Shang, who was rushing toward the deepest part of the Kaiyuan Secret Realm in the distance, said in unison.

Coincidentally, all four of them had at least one token in their hands.

"However, I carry the pass with me, but it didn't have any effect just now."

"Of course, it could also be because I didn't take it out or use a special method to activate it."

The four of them had highly consistent thoughts.

Then, this guess should actually have a high probability of being true.

But whether it was Qin Feng or Beigong Yun, both of them actually carried a pass.

But in fact, the two of them, who carried the pass with them, were treated the same as Zhao Long—they had no way to approach this red hill at all.

The pass in Qin Feng's hand was naturally found by them in the misty space.

But the pass in Beigong Yun's hand was not sought by himself.

Previously, he had been preparing to enter the Kaiyuan Secret Realm.

He was frantically studying and consolidating his knowledge about formations.

He had no time to look for a pass.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of finding a pass was handed to Beigong Shang, who, although having decent strength, had a brain far less capable than Beigong Yun's.

At this moment, the pass in Beigong Yun's hand was the one that Qin Feng and Lin An had given to Beigong Shang.

"When you said you were looking for a pass, did you say how to use this pass to enter the ancient ruins?"

"Can you just hold it in your hand and go in?"

Qin Feng took the pass out of his storage ring.

He held it in his hand and walked forward a few more steps.

It was still the same situation as before.

He had no way to enter the area protected by the barrier.

"There is no intelligence regarding this aspect."

"Currently, the only thing we know is that only those who hold a pass have the qualifications to enter the ancient ruins."

"But in fact, how do those who hold a pass enter the ancient ruins?"

"Do those who haven't obtained a pass have other ways to get in?"

"We haven't obtained any information of this kind."

"The ancient ruins appeared suddenly, and they are too mysterious."

"No one had ever heard of such a place before; everything is unknown."

Regarding this, neither the Beigong brothers nor the Dean of Mobis Academy

could give Qin Feng an answer.

They didn't know more about the ancient ruins than Qin Feng.

In fact, they knew even less than Qin Feng, who possessed a system.

After all, Qin Feng could infer some things from the tasks issued by the system.

"Alright, then let's all try."

"Usually, to activate a treasure,"

"you either use Qi to activate it or use mental power to activate it."

"Mental power activation is too dangerous; it's better to try Qi first."

Qin Feng tossed the pass in his hand up and down.

He treated the pass very casually.

There was no caution at all as if it were a treasure.

At the same time, he habitually asked the system.

"System, how do I activate this pass? Do I input Qi or mental power?"

"And, is the pass the key to opening the barrier and letting us enter this space?"

Ding-dong, the player has asked a question, and the system is providing an answer.

[To activate the pass, you must input both Qi and mental power simultaneously.]

[Furthermore, the Qi and mental power must be equal in amount.]

[The amount of Qi and mental power input determines the degree of activation of the pass.]

[As for whether the pass is the key to entering this space,]

[this question involves mission intelligence; insufficient authority, unable to answer.]

Although the most critical question wasn't answered, Qin Feng finally knew how to use this pass.

However, there was one sentence that made Qin Feng very concerned.

The amount of Qi and mental power input determines the degree of activation of the pass.

In other words, the activation of this pass actually has levels and layers.
