Chapter 1514: Chapter 1515: Tai Chi Key
Diving down to several hundred meters, Lin Yifan didn’t see a single fish or any type of marine life, as if this was the Sea of Death, eerily mysterious.
He grew more nervous, unsure of what he might encounter.
After diving another few thousand meters, he still hadn’t reached the bottom and felt increasingly uneasy.
However, the sensing from the six Immortal Rings became stronger, indicating that he was close to the location of the Purple Immortal Ring.
Determined to get the last Immortal Ring, Lin Yifan bit his lip, summoned all his strength, and continued to dive.
At ten thousand meters, he reached above a trench.
At this moment, the sensing from the six Immortal Rings was so intense they almost left his hand, rushing towards the trench.
Lin Yifan knew victory was near; the Purple Immortal Ring was within this trench.
Yet the trench, pitch black and seemingly bottomless, gave him the creeps. He wondered if any prehistoric creatures might dwell inside and hesitated to go down.
If a giant sea monster or Abyssal Giant Beast suddenly appeared, it would be terrifying.
“Damn it, I’m the strongest, who’s to fear?”
Thinking about his current Realm, Lin Yifan felt less afraid and gathered his courage, diving into the trench.
Throughout the dive, he remained constantly vigilant, just in case.
But his worries were unnecessary, for he had only descended a few meters when his path was blocked by a Super Formation.
The entire trench was covered by this Super Formation. To enter the trench, he had to break through this Super Formation.
“There is indeed a formation here, does it mean there’s a Secret Realm below, or perhaps an Immortal’s Cave Mansion?”
Lin Yifan was ecstatic, for this meant he was about to have another huge gain.
Studying the Super Formation, he found it more complex and powerful than any other Super Formation he had seen before; breaking it would not be easy.
However, he noticed something interesting on this Super Formation.
He saw a door, although illusory, it could still be called a door.
This Formation Gate seemed to be the passage through the Super Formation; once this door was opened, he could enter the trench.
To open the door, one must have a key; but this Formation Gate was not locked, how was it to be opened?
Lin Yifan researched further and discovered that the Formation Gate was indeed locked, but this “lock” was unlike any ordinary lock.
It was a circle with two dots in the center. The positions of these two dots were aligned, and most strikingly, the colors were black and white.
This made Lin Yifan think of the mysterious weapon used by the Wudang Sect Elder during confrontations with various Sects—the Eight Trigrams Totem.
Within the “Eight Trigrams Totem,” there is the Tai Chi Diagram. The Tai Chi Diagram is circular, and inside it are two dots, one black and one white.
Black represents the yin dot, white represents the yang dot. Their presence means: although yang contains yin and yin contains yang, they are entirely independent, without blurring lines.
Lin Yifan didn’t know if the two dots on the Formation Gate represented the yin and yang dots. His biggest dilemma now was, where to find the missing part of the circle?
For that was the real key; only by finding the missing part could he open this Formation Gate.
He pondered again, then suddenly remembered the beast tooth-shaped Black Ink Jade and white jade.
These two pieces of jade, when assembled, created a Tai Chi shape, but lacked the two central dots.
Now the Formation Gate had only two dots, missing the remainder; did it indicate that the beast tooth-shaped jade was the key to this Formation Gate?
Thinking of this, Lin Yifan was greatly surprised.
Unexpectedly, the beast tooth-shaped jade was the key to opening the Secret Realm that housed the last Immortal Ring, no wonder countless great figures sought to seize it.
Witchcraft True Master was hunted down by various Sects because he possessed the Black Ink Jade; the Moon Worship Sect Hierarch was exterminated by Ancient forces because of obtaining the white jade.
It seemed everyone wanted the Purple Immortal Ring, possibly because it was the chief of Immortal Rings, capable of sensing the existence of other Immortal Rings. Or the Purple Immortal Ring possessed supreme power, making the strong even stronger.
Overall, the Purple Immortal Ring is the most mysterious, no one knows of its existence, nor what superpowers it holds.
Lin Yifan was eager to unveil the mystery of the Purple Immortal Ring, so he took out the Black Ink Jade and white jade, assembled them, and following the principle of yang containing yin and yin containing yang, placed them on the circle in the center of the Formation Gate.
After positioning it, he stepped aside, waiting for the Formation Gate to open.
But after waiting for a long time, he noticed no movement from the Formation Gate and couldn’t help but wonder: “Could this not be the key to the Formation Gate?”
Thinking about it, he realized the positions of the yin and yang dots were incorrect.
The line connecting these two dots was “horizontal,” whereas in the “Eight Trigrams Totem,” the line connecting the two dots of the Tai Chi Diagram was “vertical.” Understanding that a key typically needed to be turned to open a door, he suddenly had an epiphany, realizing another step was missing.
So, he crouched down and turned the “Tai Chi Key” clockwise.
With a “click,” the Formation Gate suddenly emitted a brilliant light, illuminating the entire sea region.
Lin Yifan was shocked, completely frightened, because the process was entirely unexpected, equivalent to him just aligning the key, and the Formation Gate opened.
Since he was standing directly on the Formation Gate, the moment it opened, he suddenly became weightless and fell downward.
“Ah!!!”
Lin Yifan screamed loudly, extremely terrified.
Even though he possessed powerful mana, at that moment, it was useless. He couldn’t understand why, all he knew was that this trench was bizarre, more so than any place on the entire planet.
“Bang!”
Not long later, he crashed to the ground, his backside bursting in pain.
“Ow! It hurts like hell, what kind of lousy place is this, where my Cultivation Power can’t be used?”
Lin Yifan cursed profusely, venting his anger.
At that moment, a solemn voice emerged from the darkness, startling him.
“You’ve finally arrived?”
“Wha—how come there’s a woman’s voice? Could she be the owner of the Secret Realm? She didn’t perish?”
The more Lin Yifan thought, the more eerie he felt. In this ghostly place where Cultivation Power was useless, he was like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others, with no sense of security.
Things had come to this; escape was impossible, he could only confront it head-on.
So he summoned his courage and asked, “Who are you?”
“Who I am doesn’t matter, I only want to know, who are you?”
Suddenly, a woman’s head appeared before Lin Yifan, staring intently at him.
