Just as Su Bai had picked up only a few pieces of wreckage, she suddenly realized something.
"I came here to find Xu Changge, not to pick up trash!"
Looking at the ship wreckage on the reef with some reluctance, Su Bai directly piloted the ebony boat away, not lingering.
As she got closer and closer to the Nascent Soul Secret Realm,
Su Bai inexplicably felt a sense of oppression.
This feeling made Su Bai furrow her beautiful brows.
She looked at the ebony boat she was standing on.
She felt that this item might be too conspicuous here, especially since Xu Changge and other Core Formation Cultivators from Seven Stars Mountain had left earlier.
That indicated that people from the Six Sects should also be nearby.
So, after pondering for a moment, Su Bai put away the ebony boat and chose to fly discreetly by herself.
After putting away the ebony boat, Su Bai restrained her Qi.
Her Divine Sense spread outwards.
After searching for a day in the Outer Sea, she indeed found the Six Sects' fleet.
At this moment, the Six Sects' fleet was blocking the damaged Restriction of the Secret Realm.
The sky was filled with dense runes forming a huge Formation that sealed the damaged area.
Su Bai glanced at the Formation, carefully discerning the circulating runes on it; the runes were profound, and she could only understand a portion.
But she also knew that this Formation had the purpose of a Seal.
Moreover, Cultivators wearing Six Sects' attire appeared from time to time to reinforce the Formation.
Su Bai stayed far away, not approaching.
She could only continuously search among those Cultivators.
Finally, she discovered Xu Changge, sitting cross-legged in the air, in a corner.
At this moment, Xu Changge was positioned at one corner of the Formation, serving as a part of the Formation herself, continuously transmitting her Spiritual Energy to stabilize the Formation.
Upon seeing this scene, Su Bai frowned slightly.
She did not act rashly; after finding Xu Changge, she continued to examine the Formation set up by the Six Sects.
A Formation that requires a Formation Master to personally oversee it must not be simple.
Therefore, Su Bai would not easily reveal herself before understanding this Formation.
However, a hint of worry appeared in Su Bai's eyes.
Would Xu Changge be too dangerous like this?
If the Nascent Soul Yin Corpse were to impact the Formation, Xu Changge, as the Formation Master overseeing it, would certainly be affected.
Once the Formation is breached, she would likely suffer serious injuries.
After retracting her Divine Sense,
Su Bai began to search around the Secret Realm.
First, to see if this Restriction could truly last for a hundred years.
Lest the Yin Corpse come out early.
This Nascent Soul Secret Realm was a vast immortal mountain, shrouded and protected by a Restriction.
Su Bai spent ten days observing the dissipation of the Restriction's power.
She found that this thing was indeed tough and could not be opened by ordinary methods.
In a place far from where the Six Sects' fleet was stationed, Su Bai looked at the Restriction before her.
Inside the Restriction, mist swirled, and the Mist Shadow Beast lived within it.
If it weren't for Lian Youzhi's attack, which made this Restriction visible, this immortal mountain would probably need at least another five or six thousand years to be exposed.
"This Restriction is so strict, and the place is so remote, yet there's actually a Nascent Soul Stage Yin Corpse inside?"
"And according to previous intelligence, what sustains this Restriction is a Fourth-Tier Spiritual Vein…"
"How does it feel a bit like a corpse-raising ground?"
"Assuming there was no unexpected event like Lian Youzhi, after several millennia, this place would appear, attracting countless Cultivators, all for that Yin Corpse. Wouldn't that Yin Corpse's strength become even more terrifying?"
Looking at the mysterious runes constantly flashing on the Restriction,
Su Bai memorized them in her mind, constantly comparing them based on her experience as a Formation Master and Talisman Master.
Another five days passed.
This Restriction was truly complex; Su Bai could only understand its general function.
"It is indeed a Restriction for concealment and defense."
"Moreover, the Spiritual Vein maintaining the Restriction is extremely stable. As long as the damaged area guarded by the Six Sects doesn't continue to expand, let alone a hundred years, a thousand years would be no problem."
Since the Restriction was fine,
Then what needed to be worried about was the Formation set up by the Six Sects.
However, Su Bai dared not approach that place easily.
The Six Sects'garrison place must have Nascent Soul cultivators.
Her Divine Soul was powerful; even Nascent Soul cultivators might not detect her using Divine Sense to examine the Formation.
But she dared not easily examine Nascent Soul cultivators.
Moreover, if her main body went there, she would definitely be discovered by the Nascent Soul cultivator's Divine Sense.
"Forget it, I'll go back!"
Xu Changge was currently not in danger, and Su Bai also temporarily relaxed.
But Xu Changge was overseeing the Formation; once she left, she would be discovered.
To be safe, it was best not to make any unnecessary moves for now.
Based on what Su Bai had seen so far, she only knew that the Six Sects' Cultivators had sealed off the Restriction.
They also did not want to directly face a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Yin Corpse.
This revealed a piece of information to Su Bai.
The Six Sects seemed to find a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator somewhat troublesome.
Otherwise, their strongest members, or even their respective Old Ancestors, would have teamed up and attacked.
"As far as I know, the Six Sects currently have at least eleven Nascent Soul Initial Stage Cultivators, and this is without knowing if they have any hidden Grand Elders."
"Eleven Nascent Soul Initial Stage Cultivators joining forces still can't defeat a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Yin Corpse?"
"The gap shouldn't be that big, right…?"
Moreover, the Six Sects had deep foundations; as Nascent Soul Old Ancestors, their configuration within the Nascent Soul Stage should also be very high.
At least, they would not lack Nascent Soul Cultivation Techniques, powerful Spells, and Lifebound Treasures.
Coupled with the Six Sects' respective specialties, there should also be Fourth-Tier Formation Masters, Fourth-Tier Talisman Masters, and Fourth-Tier Alchemists.
Medicinal Pills and Talismans would certainly not be lacking, plus Formation assistance.
With so many conditions, they still dared not make a move.
Su Bai's eyes flickered.
Through various conditions, Su Bai roughly understood the strength of that Nascent Soul Middle Stage Yin Corpse.
She was definitely not its opponent!
"Hoo~ Is there no other help?!"
Rubbing her temples in pain,
Su Bai only felt how unlucky she was!
She had just formed her Core and encountered such a thing.
"Damn Yin Corpse! Do you have the guts to wait until I reach the Nascent Soul Stage before appearing?! I'll definitely spar with you then!"
This could only be a helpless fantasy.
After roughly understanding the situation of the Nascent Soul Secret Realm, Su Bai did not linger but returned to Xingluo City.
She needed to plan for the long term.
First, she needed to comprehend the Third-Tier Talisman Master Legacy; increasing her understanding of runes would also be beneficial to Su Bai's Dao of Formations.
This way, after she became a Third-Tier Formation Master, she might at least figure out how to get Xu Changge out of the Formation she was overseeing,
Instead of sitting there waiting for the Yin Corpse.
Just as Su Bai returned to Xingluo City, intending to go back and comprehend the Talisman Master Legacy,
A young man appeared before her, with a gentle smile on his face, blocking her path and stopping Su Bai.
"Fairy, I am Zhang Zihua, and I would like to ask you some questions."
"…"
Su Bai looked at Zhang Zihua, who was blocking her way, and showed a slight smile.
"Senior, what would you like to ask?"
Su Bai recognized the young man before her as the one she had seen at Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, and at the same time, she began to speculate about his identity.
Zhang Zihua said with a smile:
"Haha, a few days ago, I saw Fairy piloting a flying boat towards the Outer Sea. I wonder if you know anything about the Outer Sea Secret Realm."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai looked up at Zhang Zihua.
Help had arrived!
