The system is the proficiency panel - 271, No Results

Ouyang Yun's fingertips condensed a thin layer of mist, which brushed across the torn pages like a veil. The surface of the paper glowed with a fine blue light, and the hidden words began to move like tadpoles, gradually revealing their original appearance.

“This is a secret code written with monster blood mixed with spiritual fluid.

"She said softly, and at the same time carefully copied the contents of the interpretation onto the jade slip.

“It requires a specific moonlight angle to be visible, no wonder it has not been discovered before.”

What is most disturbing is that records show that the success rate of this ritual is increasing year by year. In two of the three recent attempts, there was a brief resonance between the container and Yan Ji's will.

"Daozi!"

Zhu Lin suddenly raised her head from a pile of experimental records, her face pale and her voice trembling slightly.

"These data... they are using living people to test the fusion of the Holy Stone!"

Lin Ji's eyes fell on the small words in the remarks column, and his eyes suddenly turned cold: Experimental subject X-12, originally a tribesman from the northern border of Huanguang Star, can now control the flow of magma within a radius of ten meters...

That night, the meeting hall of Hongxia City was brightly lit. Lin Ji suspended the fragment of the holy stone in mid-air, and a golden flame came out from his fingertips, slowly burning its surface. The fragment immediately emitted a sharp buzzing sound, and the red lines protruded like blood vessels, twisting and struggling in the flames, as if it had life.

"Activity has increased by 3% compared to three months ago."

He put away the flame and spoke in a serious tone.

Yue Shanwu slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide open in anger.

"Are they crazy? That's a monster that can destroy the planet!"

Ouyang Yun gently stroked the edge of the teacup, as if thinking about something.

"Perhaps this is why the Holy Church wants to study it. Perhaps they have already discovered the signs of Yan Ji's revival, but they don't know how to stop it, so they can only find the answer this way."

"Diaozi, will those experimental subjects... become the vessels for Yan Ji's resurrection?"

This question sent a chill down everyone's spine. Lin Ji stared at the gradually calming lines on the fragments of the holy stone, and suddenly remembered the Flame Snake desperately guarding the altar - that beast probably knew much more than it showed.

"Ye Wanjun."

He turned to look at the young man beside him, his tone firm.

……

The red mist in the Miasma Moon Abyss was still surging, and the lava river meandered at the bottom of the rift valley, reflecting the hideous veins on the rock wall, like a distorted face. Lin Ji and Ye Wanjun stood at the edge of the abyss, their spiritual consciousness swept across every inch of land like a tide, but they still failed to capture the breath of the Flame Snake.

"It looks like it's gone."

Ye Wanjun frowned, his tone filled with reluctance.

"The Flame Snake is definitely not here, and it has been gone for quite some time."

He paused and added.

"It was very discreet and left no trace."

Ye Wanjun clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Lin Ji did not respond, knowing that there was nothing he could do about it. The Miasma Moon Abyss was too far from the Xuantian Empire's sphere of influence, so it was normal that the news was not well-informed. Moreover, the Flame Snake was indeed decisive. Once something happened, it immediately abandoned the place where it had lived for hundreds of years and fled and hid.

He cast his gaze towards the altar at the bottom of the abyss. The runes on the altar still emitted a faint red light, but had lost their former vitality, as if they were just a bunch of ordinary marks, no longer mysterious.

"Now that we're here, let's search again to see if there are any clues we've missed."

After saying that, he flashed and flew directly towards the altar.

"The will in the rune has dissipated. It seems that the Flame Snake has taken away the key things."

Ye Wanjun looked around and suddenly noticed that a stone slab on the edge of the altar was a little loose. He walked over, lifted the stone slab, and found a secret compartment underneath, which was empty except for a few wisps of black ashes.

"Someone came here and burned something."

He picked up the ashes and examined them carefully.

"Before leaving, the Flame Snake destroyed important information."

Ye Wanjun kicked the stone slab unwillingly and said angrily.

"A trip in vain!"

Lin Ji glanced at him and said lightly.

Ye Wanjun took a deep breath, suppressed his irritation, and nodded.

"Michiko is right. So what should we do next?"

Lin Ji looked into the distance, his eyes as deep as the abyss.

"Let's go back to Hongxia City first and integrate the existing intelligence. Since the Flame Snake has left, it will definitely look for a new backer. We can always find clues."

On the way back, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the earth, coating everything with a layer of gold. In the distance, the outline of Hongxia City gradually became clear, and the red cloud pattern light curtain on the city wall shone brightly in the setting sun, like a protective barrier.

Ye Wanjun suddenly spoke, his tone filled with worry.

"Daozi, will the Flame Snake go to the Holy Church?"

Lin Ji nodded slightly.

Ye Wanjun frowned.

"If this is true, the strength of the Holy Church will probably increase greatly. The strength of the Flame Snake is close to the fourth realm, and coupled with the strange secret methods of the Holy Church..."

Lin Ji interrupted him, speaking in a calm tone.

"It's okay. If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Our focus now is to consolidate our defenses and improve our strength. As long as the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Light Formation is there, even if the Holy Church has the help of the Flame Snake, it will not be able to cause any major waves."

Soon, the two returned to Hongxia City. The guard at the city gate saluted them immediately when he saw them. Lin Ji nodded slightly and flew straight to the Ye family mansion.
