The stone pillar is more than ten meters high. Unlike ordinary cylindrical pillars, this stone pillar is a rectangular block.
From Yu Jin's point of view, they are somewhat similar to the chopsticks used by Liyue people when eating.
The top of the stone pillar is the most severely weathered, but even though the edges are uneven, the huge stone amber on the top of the stone pillar still emits a faint light, like a bright lamp in the green slope.
"This power..." Feeling the somewhat familiar aura in it, Yi Yan raised his eyebrows.
Is this Zhongli standing here?
Although the power in the stone pillar was already very weak, Yi Yan still recognized that this power belonged to Zhongli.
"What, senior has made a new discovery?"
Xingqiu walked around the pillar several times, but found nothing.
"No, I don't know anything about 'formation' or anything like that." Yu Jin spread his hands, and then pushed Chongyun.
“This kind of thing should be done by professionals!”
"Okay, since senior believes in me so much, let's give it a try!" Chongyun took a deep breath. This was his first time to break through such a large formation.
After adjusting his breath, Chongyun looked up at the towering stone pillar. Its surface was as smooth as marble, making it difficult to start.
Seeing this scene, Chongyun glanced at Xingqiu. The latter also nodded.
"Drink!" Taking a few steps back, Chongyun shouted softly and then strode towards the stone pillar.
At the same time, the Eye of God on his waist began to flash, emitting a bright frost-white light.
"Cut——"
Xingqiu also followed Chongyun's movements.
Sharp and flat water arrows gathered around Xingqiu, then flew out and were nailed to the stone pillar.
And Chongyun's movements could just keep up with the water arrow. Whenever the water arrows were nailed to the stone pillars and were about to dissipate, the cold air at Chongyun's feet would follow, turning the water arrows into springboards for one jump after another.
"No, why are you so skilled?" Yu Jin couldn't help but marveled when he saw the two of them moving smoothly.
Even a close friend cannot achieve this kind of proficiency! At least it takes wearing a pair of pants to get to know each other so well!
"Well..., it's a long story, a long story!" Xingqiu stopped using his elemental power when he saw Chongyun jumping on top of the stone pillar.
He turned to the embers and scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
As the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, whether Xingqiu thinks about it or not, a lot of the business affairs of the Chamber of Commerce will always fall on him.
And he was a master who couldn't bear loneliness, so in order to prevent Xingqiu from escaping, Xingqiu's father deliberately built the walls of his home very high.
But it's a pity that the devil is as high as the Tao. The move just now was used by Xingqiu to climb over the wall!
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's see if Chongyun has made any new discoveries!" Xingqiu obviously didn't want to dwell too much on this topic. After he finished speaking, he looked at Chongyun.
Chongyun, who was high up, noticed the two people's gaze and shook his head.
Then, he jumped down from the top of the stone pillar.
"boom!"
Coming down is much easier than going up. Chongyun just jumped slightly and returned to the ground again.
"It can't be solved. This formation needs a token. I guess it should be some kind of gem or something." Before Xingqiu and Yi Yan could ask anything, Chongyun took the lead in telling the result.
He took out his family's "Illustrated Book of Demonic and Evil Chronicles", pointed to a page with complicated lines and explained: "Look, it says it above. This kind of formation can only be unlocked with a token. . Otherwise, we can only use brute force."
Chongyun took back the book, and he was already thinking about how to forge the token. There should be no problem if you ask at home and then go to the alchemist circle to seek help.
"Let's go back first. I have an idea. I can break this formation in a few days!"
Chongyun clenched his fists, looking confident.
"What? You said it can be cracked with brute force?"
Ember heard nothing, only the word "brute force".

"Yes, yes, but..." Chongyun looked at the huge Cui Jue Slope and said nothing more.
Chongyun had never considered the option of "breaking through with brute force" for this large formation based on the terrain.
Liyue's formations generally focus on following the trends of heaven and earth, especially for large formations.
Using brute force to break through the nine-pillar formation would be as difficult as lifting Cuijue Slope.
"Nothing to worry about. Let me show you the strength of the heroes!" Yu Yan smoothed his non-existent sleeves and said excitedly.
It's not that he doesn't want to protect the ruins, it's just that he has no other choice.
Really, there is just no other way.
Holding the back of their collars, Yi Yan lifted Chongyun and Xingqiu up one by one.
Then, there was a sound of "簌!", and a striking crack was torn open in the mist of Cuijuepo.
"Crash!"
The mist surged, and countless rubbles carried by the embers slapped on the stone door, but no traces were left.
This heavily weathered door seemed thick enough to keep everything out.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Where...where is this?"
As soon as the embers put down Xingqiu and Chongyun, they almost collapsed on the ground.
Fortunately, both of them were practicing practitioners and finally stood firmly on the ground.
"Big... gate?!"
"So fast!"
When the two people came to their senses, what came into view was the huge stone door. This made them marvel again.
How long did it take before you came back again?
The name of the hero is indeed well-deserved!
"Are you awake?"
"Wake up."
"Then stay away!"
The embers pushed Xingqiu and Chongyun far away, and then he started to accumulate strength.
It was said that it was accumulating power, but it was actually Yi Yan thinking about what move to use. After looking around, Yi Yan saw the somewhat blurry dragon and phoenix patterns on the door.
Speaking of which, the dragon in Liyue was different from the dragon in Yu Yan's impression. As for the phoenix, he didn't even have the impression.
After recalling it in my mind, there seemed to be a place that was a little bit similar to Liyue.
"Om-"
A vibrating sound of extremely high frequency spread, like the sound of a swarm of bees flapping their wings, but amplified countless times.
The fine sand and stones on the ground began to jump, and the frequency was so fast that it seemed as if the earth was vibrating with the sound.
Xingqiu and Chongyun heard this strange sound in the distance, and the fat on their bodies shook.
The two of them felt it was a little difficult to breathe. If they continued like this, they doubted whether they would be turned into a pile of dust.
Fortunately, the sound was short-lived. After the extreme frequency, there was a noisy and harsh friction sound, which sounded like sandpaper rubbing rapidly on solid wood.
"Crack clap!"
Ember raised his hand, looked at the red airflow spinning on his arm and raised his eyebrows.
It seemed that his martial arts had not regressed, and he was able to use this thing that he had never used before so quickly.
Qi, a skill from the exotic country of Oh. According to legend, Ohe is a gathering place for deviant practitioners.
"Qi" is a very magical thing. Not only can it retrieve objects from a distance, but it can also steal lives from people.
Turning the energy into a claw shape, you can capture people thousands of miles away; wrapping the energy around the sword body, you can control the weapon like an arm.
It's a pity that this inheritance has been discontinued here. Who lets a person who knows the art of "qi" work as a bell hunter in the border area?
The merchants in the border area are all noble people who will be "invited" by Ember to bring back great blessings.
Whoever competes with Yu Yan for the bell beads is working against him!
Don’t ask, just ask because Ember wants to build an integrated business center.
"Huh..., Qi? It sounds very suitable for Liyue's atmosphere." Yu Jin muttered a few words in a low voice.
Then he swung his arm forward, and the red "energy" wrapped around it extended and turned into a scarlet palm.
The "fingers" of the palm are very thin, enough to drill into the gap in the stone door that is invisible to the naked eye.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Yan's outstretched arm began to slowly retract.
"Kakaka!"
There was a sound of something breaking, but the stone door remained stable. It was as if the breaking sound didn't exist.
"Drink! Take off!"
Yi Yan's open hand tightened, and the giant palm transformed by "qi" also contracted tightly, as if it was firmly holding the entire stone door.
As the ember pulled hard, Shimen, who was struggling to hold on, finally could no longer hold on.
"boom!"
A crack first appeared in the stone door, and then it extended to the entire facade in an instant. From cracks appearing to turning into rubble, the whole process takes only the blink of an eye.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Before the sound of the stone door exploding completely dissipated, the mountains shook behind everyone.
Along with the violent shaking, cracks appeared in the nine huge stone pillars standing on Cuijuepo.
When everything settled down, what appeared in front of everyone was the broken stone pillars, the surging red energy, and... the deep and dark entrance of the cave.
