Chapter 2505: Flying Dragon Hall, Breaking the Ban

There was no need for it; she didn't want to get into a major conflict with Liu Tianyan. If Wang Changsheng hadn't been refining the true spirit origin, she would have notified him. If Wang Changsheng were here, he should be able to contend with Liu Tianyan. With only Wang Ruyan and Wang Mengbin, it was better to avoid confronting Liu Tianyan. She wasn't arrogant enough to think they could defeat him; overcoming two minor realms was too difficult.

The Two-Pupiled Mouse's eyes glowed with a dazzling yellow light as it gazed into the distance. After a moment, it emitted chirping sounds, seemingly having discovered something.

Wang Ruyan and Wang Mengbin transformed into two streaks of light and moved through the air. Their speed was moderate, and they tried to stay as close to the ground as possible. Not long after, they stopped. Ahead lay an open area with some ruined walls and pieces of wood scattered on the ground, emitting faint spiritual light. They also saw the massive carcass of a demonic beast, which had been sliced into several sections by a sharp weapon, alongside fragments of magical treasures. There were still some spirit medicines in the herb garden, suggesting that the intruders had been killed. It was unknown if they died from the restrictions or at the hands of demonic beasts.

"Be careful," Wang Ruyan warned, her expression solemn. "High-level cultivators have been here."

Half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of a steep peak. From the halfway point, a set of cyan stone steps ascended to the summit, which was shrouded in a mass of cyan mist. The area below the mountain's waist showed signs of attack, with multiple large craters.

Wang Mengbin gently flicked his wrist, and the Gold-Devouring Beast flew out of his spirit beast bracelet, landing on the ground. It had already advanced to the fifth tier. The Gold-Devouring Beast's body glowed with brilliant golden light as it burrowed into the ground. Soon after, it returned to the surface, holding half of a silver-glowing short sword in its mouth. The hilt was missing, and the blade had over a dozen slender cracks.

The Two-Pupiled Mouse emitted excited chirps, gazing eagerly at the mountaintop. The Two-Pupiled Mouse wasn't Wang Ruyan's spirit beast, so her divine sense couldn't be projected onto it. However, she was certain that high-grade spirit medicines, likely over 30,000 years old, were present.

Wang Ruyan activated her Dark Phoenix Eye to observe the situation on the mountain. She saw a massive bluestone plaza, upon which stood a shimmering cyan palace bearing the three golden characters "Feilong Hall." The gates of Feilong Hall were tightly shut, making it impossible to see inside. She attempted to probe the interior of Feilong Hall but was blocked by a mysterious force. She couldn't understand how the Two-Pupiled Mouse had managed to detect the spirit medicines inside.

"Feilong Hall," Wang Ruyan muttered to herself. "Could it really be Feilong Sanren's meditation cave? Why is it built underground?" She then briefly explained the situation regarding Feilong Sanren to Wang Mengbin.

Wang Mengbin summoned a fifth-tier giant ape puppet beast and controlled it to ascend the mountain. It hadn't gone far when a crimson flame surged from the ground, heading straight for the giant ape puppet beast. Wang Mengbin was unconcerned; fifth-tier puppet beasts were impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire, thus unafraid of ordinary flames.

A small part of the mountain peak was engulfed by the crimson flame, but the giant ape puppet beast remained unaffected, reaching the cyan stone steps. Rumbling thunder then echoed from high above as dozens of thick silver lightning bolts materialized, striking the puppet beast one after another as if merely tickling it. The higher it ascended the mountain, the more abundant the lightning power became, causing its speed to slow down.

Wang Mengbin's body radiated a brilliant lightning glow as he followed. Ordinary lightning power could not harm Wang Mengbin. Wang Mengbin landed beside the giant ape puppet beast, his body radiating a dazzling silver glow. The silver lightning bolts seemed to be guided directly toward him, and upon touching his silver aura, they vanished without a trace, like mud sinking into the sea.

In less than half an hour, Wang Mengbin reached the halfway point of the mountain, where a dense cyan mist blocked his path. Wang Mengbin sent the giant ape puppet beast ahead while he remained in place, communicating with Wang Ruyan via sound transmission.

The giant ape puppet beast reached the bluestone plaza without encountering anything unusual. However, it hadn't gone far when rumbling thunder echoed from high above, and thousands of thick silver lightning bolts descended from the sky, striking the puppet beast. Just as the giant ape puppet beast was about to retreat, countless silver runes emerged from the floor, transforming into dense silver chains that wrapped around its body. Thousands of silver lightning bolts continued to strike the puppet beast, engulfing it in dazzling electric light. This was only the first wave; a second quickly followed. Not long after, the lightning dispersed, and the giant ape puppet beast had vanished. The ground, however, remained undamaged.

"A lightning-attribute restriction!" Wang Mengbin murmured, his expression thoughtful. He took out a small, silver-glowing mirror whose surface lit up with countless silver runes. With a flash of silver light, a thick silver lightning bolt shot out, heading straight for the gates of Feilong Hall. As soon as the silver lightning bolt appeared on the bluestone plaza, thousands of silver lightning bolts descended from above, instantly destroying it.

"Mengbin, are you confident?" Wang Ruyan asked via sound transmission. "If not, then let's forget about it." She thought that if she had known this, she would have brought a Sky Thunder Spiritualization Talisman.

"Ancestor, it should be fine," Wang Mengbin replied. He took a deep breath and strode forward. His body radiated a dazzling silver aura, and countless silver electric arcs surged forth, solidifying into a dense silver battle armor. As soon as he stepped onto the bluestone plaza, thousands of silver lightning bolts descended from the sky, striking him one after another and engulfing his figure. Soon, the lightning rapidly dispersed, revealing Wang Mengbin completely unharmed. He cultivated a lightning-attribute cultivation method, which naturally involved absorbing lightning power, so this was nothing to him.

Wang Mengbin strode towards Feilong Hall. Along the way, numerous silver lightning bolts descended from the sky, all of which he absorbed. As he reached the entrance of Feilong Hall, a tremendous roar accompanied three thick black lightning bolts that tore through the sky, heading straight for Wang Mengbin's head. Wang Mengbin quickly activated his Dharma Idol, and a shimmering silver giant illusion appeared above his head. A shimmering silver glow surged from the giant illusion's right palm, swiftly grabbing the three black lightning bolts. Countless silver electric arcs then surged forth, engulfing them.

After a moment, the silver lightning dispersed. The giant illusion gently flicked its wrist, and a silver lightning orb flew toward Wang Mengbin. With a sweep of his sleeve, a sheet of silver aura unfurled, drawing the lightning orb into his sleeve, where it disappeared. To be able to obtain three special lightning powers was surprising; after refining them, they would be a significant aid.

The giant illusion moved its arms and struck the gates of Feilong Hall. After a tremendous boom, the gates shattered into pieces, revealing a spacious and bright hall before Wang Mengbin. The center of the hall was empty. Eighteen thick stone pillars supported the entire structure, each carved with a cyan python. To the left was a bluestone corridor, its destination unknown.

Wang Mengbin released a spider puppet beast, allowing it to move freely within the hall without triggering any restrictions. He then returned to the foot of the mountain, brought Wang Ruyan through the bluestone plaza, and entered Feilong Hall. The spider puppet beast walked ahead, with them following closely behind, their faces etched with vigilance.

Not long after, they stopped. Three independent stone chambers appeared before them, their doors tightly shut. After blasting open one of the stone doors, a spacious stone chamber appeared before them. Inside was a hundred-zhang-wide magic formation with over a thousand equally sized grooves. Each groove held a spirit stone, most of which had turned grayish-white.

"So many high-grade spirit stones!" Wang Mengbin and Wang Ruyan gasped. "Was Feilong Sanren so wealthy? No wonder the restrictions were so difficult to break."
