Ji Boyuan nodded: "Zhang Xiaoyou, the ban is at the back mountain. I will take you there right now."

He turned around and waved to several elders: "Follow me."

The group left Tianfu Hall and walked down a path in the back mountain.

Zhang Yu followed Ji Boyuan, and Ning Shuangxu walked half a step behind him.

The other elders followed, and the second elder walked at the end. As he walked, he whispered something to the female elder next to him.

The great elder walked among the crowd, his face still gloomy, but on the surface he had returned to normal.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a temporarily fenced area appeared ahead.

Four inner sect disciples holding talisman spears stood at the entrance of the area. When they saw the sect master coming, they bowed and saluted and moved out of the way.

Ji Boyuan took Zhang Yu into the fence, which was an open space that had been cleared.

At the end of the clearing is a steep rock wall.

The stone wall is about tens of feet high, and its surface is covered with dense ancient runes.

Those runes were not carved on them, but rather looked like veins growing naturally on the stone wall. The lines were ancient and profound.

Each line is glowing slightly, and the color of the light slowly flows between five colors-gold, cyan, blue, red, and yellow, which correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Five-colored rays of light intertwined into a huge forbidden barrier on the surface of the stone wall.

The spiritual power fluctuations emitted by the barrier are extremely huge, but all the energy is firmly locked inside the restriction, without even a trace leaking out.

Ji Boyuan pointed at the stone wall and said in a solemn tone: "This is the entrance to the ancient ruins. We have tried dozens of ways to break the formation, but all failed."

The second elder added: "We have also tried to attack with brute force, but the restriction will double the power of the attack and bounce it back. An elder previously attacked the restriction forcefully, and the rebound force broke two meridians."

Zhang Yu didn't speak after listening.

He thought about the system silently in his mind.

"System, scan this restricted area."

The system panel popped up immediately.

[Scanning target area...]

[Scanning in progress...]

[Scan completed.】

[Restriction type: Ancient Five Elements Forbidden Technique·Five Elements Locking Formation]

[Era of formation: about 3,200 years ago]

[Arrayer: Preliminarily determined to be a monk at the Nascent Soul stage or above. The specific identity information has been lost.】

[Restricted structure: Based on the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, they are interlocked to form a closed-loop energy field.There are a total of 108 formation eyes, distributed on the surface of the stone wall and inside the mountain behind. Each formation eye checks and balances with the adjacent formation eyes.If any one of them is destroyed, the other formation eyes will trigger the self-destruction mechanism at the same time, destroying the stone wall and the ruins passage behind it.】

[Conditions for triggering the self-destruction mechanism: Any array eye is violently destroyed; the balance of the five elements within the restriction is broken by more than 30%; attacks from the outside with intensity above the Golden Core stage directly hit the core of the restriction.】
