After Du Zhe and his group entered, they did not find a place to quietly wait but immediately began to investigate the Formation, and judging by his demeanor, he seemed very familiar with this particular Formation.
This scene, observed by Li Zhirui and several other cultivators who had been watching them, caused the former to furrow his brows tightly, his curiosity about Du Zhe's identity growing stronger.
The latter, however, were extremely excited, for they saw in Du Zhe a hope for entering the cave dwelling.
"Does Fellow Daoist have any findings? Please share them, and let us all think of a way to break the Formation together," a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator without a companion suddenly spoke up.
The silence of the cave dwelling was instantly shattered, and all the cultivators' gazes were drawn to Du Zhe and his group.
Du Zhe spoke with composure, "I once saw a record of this Formation in an incomplete classic; its name is the Kunyuan Shengjin Great Array. As long as the surrounding Earth Energy is continuous, it can endlessly produce golden light to attack."
"As for the method to break the Formation, it's also quite simple—the solution is to use a large amount of Wood-attribute Skills to attack the base of the Formation."
A certain Loose Cultivator asked, "Does Fellow Daoist know the location of the Formation base?"
"I do," Du Zhe nodded without hesitation, and then he revealed the location of the Formation base.
For a moment, everyone was overjoyed, but when it came time to take action, the situation became a bit awkward.

Li Zhirui thought to himself, Could this be the reason he invited me here?
It is known that because Wood-attribute Skills are not as powerful as Metal and Fire ones, even Loose Cultivators with a Wood Spirit Root rarely learn Wood-attribute Skills.
But Du Zhe's knowledge about the Great Array was so extensive that he even knew how to break it. Could this really be just from his studies of an incomplete scripture? Li Zhirui was skeptical.@@@@
Fortunately, there were enough Loose Cultivators in the cave dwelling that they eventually found quite a few who could act, but they were unwilling to give it their all.
That's because exhausting a large amount of Mana now would mean they would be the first to fall once they entered the cave dwelling.
Those several dozen cultivators even banded together to ask for benefits from everyone, ensuring that even if they didn't enter the dwelling, their trip wouldn't have been in vain.
The other cultivators had no choice; killing these people was not an option—who would break the Formation then? Besides, there were many of them, and using force seemed impractical.
Looking farther to the right, there was a corpse that looked no different from a living person, and the faint aura of authority it radiated allowed one to ascertain that in life, he was a Golden Core cultivator and the owner of this cave dwelling.
On this corpse, there were many Spiritual Objects. The third-order Vestment robe it wore, the storage ring on its ring finger, the jade crown on its head, and the meditation mat it sat upon, all shimmered with a treasure's glow.
All the cultivators fixed their eyes on these treasures, but only Li Zhirui, while keeping an eye on Du Zhe, was also looking at the Spirit Source Spring!
The preciousness of the Spirit Source Spring goes without saying, but there was one problem they couldn't solve: they couldn't take it with them, and naturally, they wouldn't waste their effort on it.
But it was different for Li Zhirui, who had space at his disposal and could transfer the Spirit Source Spring into it!
When he was still a Qi Cultivation practitioner, he had used space to absorb a half Spirit Vein—now that he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, absorbing the Spirit Source Spring was naturally within his capabilities.
So while the others rushed to snatch the other Spiritual Objects, Li Zhirui approached the Spirit Source Spring, extended his left hand into it, communicated with his space, and attempted to absorb it.
Before taking action, he also noticed Du Zhe's target was the Jade Bottle that fewer cultivators were competing for.
In an instant, Li Zhirui felt the mana in his Dantian being rapidly depleted, while the Spirit Source Spring began to boil, slowly lifting off from the ground.
Fortunately, at that moment, the other cultivators were still fighting over the treasures, and the commotion masked his actions, failing to draw anyone else's attention.
But the good times didn't last long, and Li Zhirui was discovered.
"That kid has a treasure capable of taking the Spirit Source Spring!" someone shouted, drawing the attention of many cultivators towards Li Zhirui.
"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath and, acting decisively, launched the only first-order Magic Artifact he hadn't discarded—the Pine Needles—piercing through the heart of the screamer.
The cultivators whose attention had been attracted divided; some continued fighting over the treasures, while others disengaged to launch an attack on Li Zhirui.
"Hmph!" With a cold snort and a darkening expression, he paid no mind to revealing his identity. A large amount of Corrosive Water transformed into various Spirit Beasts and lunged at those few individuals.
At the same time, he summoned Da Qing, saying, "Da Qing, help me hold them off for a moment!"
Without further ado, Li Zhirui focused entirely on absorbing the Spirit Source Spring, eager to bring it into his space as quickly as possible.
