Past the forest, they arrived at the foot of a mountain.
To his astonishment, this was not just a single mountain peak but rather a continuous mountain range.
Although it was just a small mountain range, it had dozens of peaks and appeared majestic.
“This is at least a middle-sized secret zone. If its spiritual leylines still remain, it is a large secret zone!” thought Chen Jingzhai excitedly.
He was full of anticipation for his upcoming exploration.
Having spiritual leylines was a criterion for natural secret zones.
With such rich essence power in the inner parts of the secret zone, it was apparent that spiritual leylines still remained here.
The question was how many spiritual leylines were there and how high quality they were.
It was very difficult to determine the quality of the spiritual leylines based on the essence power in the air.
According to Zeng Wangbei, such secret zones of remnants were hard to come by.
Perhaps he could obtain some astonishing loot in this ancient cave residence.
Most crucially, the sect would undoubtedly make changes to this place after this.
In the future, disciples at the Foundation Establishment Plane would not be able to enter such a secret zone.
Hence, he needed to seize this opportunity to pocket all of the benefits he could get his hands on.
When Chen Jingzhai thought of this, he shifted his will, and the shadow mouse leading the way ahead immediately lay on the ground.
The pain it felt quickly subsided. It got up and looked at Chen Jingzhai with a look of resentment.
“Speed up!” Chen Jingzhai ordered it with his divine mind through transmitted thoughts.
The shadow mouse did not dare to dawdle. Instead, its entire body became a gray streak that charged up the mountain peak ahead.
Chen Jingzhai pursued it closely.
However, he lost track of it when they approached the mountain.
He frowned as he paused at the foot of the mountain. Then, relying on his senses, he searched for the mouse carefully.
He muttered, “This is an advanced formation that is unfamiliar to me. It will cause hallucinations.”
Chen Jingzhai was pleasantly surprised. With his current knowledge, it was rare for him to encounter formations that he did not know.
Of course, not all the formations in the world were stored in Daoxuan Peak.
However, Daoxuan Peak had a vast collection of formations, many of which were completely unheard of in the outside world.
Half of the formation masters in Pulao Kingdom originated from Daoxuan Peak.
Even though he was not an expert on formations, Chen Jingzhai was knowledgeable on the topic.
In fact, the Reversed Yin Yang Sky Scripture, which he had read, was the best summary of all formations.
He immediately sat down cross-legged beneath the mountain peak. His divine mind expanded, and he comprehended the formation.
The formation pattern of the Yin Yang Formation in his body flickered. However, its light was too faint, and he did not notice it.
The shadow mouse stood in the formation. When it saw that Chen Jingzhai had stopped and was not advancing, it revealed a smug look.
It was in no hurry to leave. Instead, it revealed a fierce gaze and prepared to attack him once it spotted an opening.
In the secret zone, it was difficult to tame the ferocity of demonic beasts. Even if they could be controlled for a while, one needed to be cautious of them retaliating.
Despite his remarkable achievements at a young age, Chen Jingzhai lacked experience.
Time passed, and the shadow mouse’s patience wore thin.
It charged swiftly at him after he had been sitting there for 15 minutes.
Under the cover of the formation, it directly became a streak of gray and dashed toward Chen Jingzhai’s neck.
It bared its sharp teeth, and its murderous intent filled the air.
Right before it could slice his throat with its teeth, Chen Jingzhai suddenly disappeared from his spot.
The next moment, the shadow mouse’s entire body trembled. Then, it fell to the ground powerlessly.
“That was close!”
Chen Jingzhai appeared behind the shadow mouse with a deadpan expression on his face. There seemed to be a hint of anger in his gaze.
He had comprehended the essence of the formation. He was in complete control of the formation and awakened at the crucial moment.
Otherwise, he would have died.
As he glanced at the shadow mouse on the ground, whose ferocity had not quelled in the slightest, Chen Jingzhai suddenly raised his hand.
Yin Yang Qi was generated from the spiritual power within him, and it circulated around his palm.

He made a gesture nonchalantly with his palm, and the next moment, the body of the shadow mouse exploded with a thud.
The Restriction in the mouse’s body exploded under the command of his palm, causing it to die on the spot.
It exploded like a berry, leaving behind only a layer of skin.
Then, Chen Jingzhai unleashed an earth elemental technique. Finally, after cleaning up the traces of the shadow mouse, his anger was quenched.
He turned around and dashed into the mountain. His entire being disappeared without a trace.
