As everyone slowly passed through the stone pillar formation, they found themselves unsure of its extent. If it weren't for Shang Wuji leading the way, they suspected they might get lost among the stone pillars, unable to find a way out. After all, a formation is a formation, and it wouldn't have too many flaws; for instance, the seemingly safest place above might be the most dangerous. Therefore, no one dared to take to the skies; they carefully moved along the ground, maintaining a certain distance from the pillars.

"Isn't Shang Wuji getting an excessive amount of information? This stone pillar formation is vast, and in this Demon Tribe continent, transmitting any piece of information is quite difficult. Could it be that the powerful ones from the Fog Hidden Sect have conveyed the entire structure of the stone pillar formation to him?"

After walking for a while, Qin Chen felt somewhat puzzled.

This stone pillar formation was truly expansive. In such a long time, they must have passed thousands of pillars. If it was Shang Wuji's first time here, how could he remember it so clearly and with such certainty?

"Unless he has been here before, or perhaps the powerful ones from the Fog Hidden Sect transmitted to him not a safe path but rather the method of travel."

Qin Chen carefully observed his surroundings.

"Eh, many of these black stone pillars are already broken or collapsed. Walking along the damaged pillars won't trigger the formation, but one must ensure that within a ten-meter radius around them, there are at least three broken pillars."

After walking for quite a while, Qin Chen finally discerned a clue.

No wonder Shang Wuji was able to move so freely; Qin Chen smiled, realizing that it wasn't that he remembered the route but that he had found a method of traversing it.

Understanding this, Qin Chen glanced back and discovered Wei Xingguang and Yue Zhongkui also secretly observing their surroundings, their eyes shimmering with intelligence.

It seemed these two, despite appearing rough, were actually meticulous and were not merely following but also searching for a way to navigate through the stone pillar formation.

No matter how large the stone pillar formation was, it had its limits. Following closely behind Shang Wuji, the group twisted and turned, sometimes taking a large detour, and finally emerged from the entire stone pillar formation to arrive at a majestic archway, though it was quite damaged.

This archway was enormous, towering over a hundred meters high. Shang Wuji appeared to be knowledgeable about this as well. He explained, "This is the true entrance to the ruins. However, the information I received indicated that this archway has strange restrictions that must be broken to enter. Moreover, after breaking it, the paths revealed will differ each time, leading to different locations within these ruins."

There was this detail?

The group felt both anxious and expectant.

The anxiety was that if the paths varied, wouldn't they encounter unsolvable dangers? For instance, if it weren't for the experiences of their predecessors, they would never have been able to enter the stone pillar formation.

The anticipation stemmed from the fact that if the previous path had already been traversed by someone, any treasures would have been taken; if they entered a brand new path, they could naturally obtain other treasures.

"Brother Shang, please tell us, what should we do?"

With their previous experience of the stone pillar formation, everyone felt a bit more trust toward Shang Wuji. "It is said that the restrictions on this stone door will calculate different results based on each person's strength. As long as everyone finishes their attacks, the archway will naturally open. How about we all attack together to break this restriction? I will go first, how does that sound?" Shang Wuji suggested.

No one had any objections.

Shang Wuji stepped forward, unleashing a terrifying force from within him, and suddenly slammed his palm against the archway.

Boom!

The archway trembled violently, and after the impact, black restrictions emerged on its surface before quickly disappearing.
