Xiao Jinting learned from Chen Lifeng that he chanced upon a broken piece of a map, and the people holding the other pieces of the map came to him. After that, they worked together to hunt for the treasures on the map.
They found that it might be a valuable cave. Chen Lifeng and the other two cultivators found an array specialist to explore the cave.
Chen Lifeng took Xiao Jinting to meet his three partners.
“This is Huangfu Xuan. He’s a prince.”
A man in a golden robe with dragon patterns nodded slightly at Xiao Jinting.
He wore a crown and a jade waistband, looking noble and elegant.
Most of the kings in the world were only puppets of some major sects. They looked noble, but they didn’t have any influence. However, Huangfu Xuan came from a different country, which was called the Tianluo Kingdom. There were several Nascent Soul ancestors in the kingdom, so the royal family was powerful and well respected.
Chen Lifeng said to Xiao Jinting, “This is Master Hu Tian.”
Xiao Jinting narrowed his eyes. Hu Tian used to be a respected monk in Golden Mountain Temple, and he got expelled because he broke some rules. He looked gentle, but he was ferocious.
“Hello, Mr. Hu.”
Hu Tian shaped his soul force into a fist and punched at Xiao Jinting, who turned his soul force into a shield and warded off the punch.
Xiao Jinting frowned. He was annoyed by the unexpected attack.
Chen Lifeng said sulkily to Hu Tian, “What do you mean?”
Hu Tian chuckled and said innocently, “Mr. Chen, don’t be angry. I was testing Mr. Xiao’s power. You know that we need cultivators with strong soul force to crack the array, but Mr. Xiao is only a preliminary Nascent Soul. I was worried, and I tested his strength.
Although Xiao Jinting had reached the advanced level, he pretended that he was a preliminary Nascent Soul. As a result, he was slighted.
Xiao Jinting smiled and said, “Mr. Hu, do you think I’m good enough?”
Hu Tian said with a smile, “Mr. Xiao, just like what Mr. Chen told me, although your level is not high, you have strong soul force. You are qualified.”
Xiao Jinting smiled. He was an advanced Nascent Soul, and his soul force was stronger than his peers. He only used twenty percent of his strength when he warded off Hu Tian’s attack.
Chen Lifeng said, “This is Liu Ying. She is proficient with arrays. She helped us crack the illusion array.”
Hu Tian, Huangfu Xuan, and Chen Lifeng were advanced Nascent Souls, but Liu Ying was only at the preliminary level. They failed to crack the second array because her soul force was not strong enough.
Liu Ying looked at Hu Tian and asked candidly, “Mr. Hu, are you sure Mr. Xiao’s soul force is strong enough? If negative, our efforts will be wasted.”
Xiao Jinting had learned from Chen Lifeng that Liu Ying learned the arrays from a master, and she was good at it. However, she was arrogant. Looking at Liu Ying’s contemptuous eyes, Xiao Jinting found that Chen Lifeng was right when he said although Li Ying’s cultivation level was not high, she was bad-tempered.
Hu Tian toyed with the beads in his hand and said, “Ms. Liu, don’t worry. Mr. Xiao is capable of doing that.”
Liu Ying glanced at Xiao Jinting and said, “Okay.”
…
They traveled on the flying ship for half a month before they landed on a small island. Chen Lifeng and the other three people had been there, so they were familiar with the way.
Liu Ying waved her hand and removed an illusion array. They saw a cave.

The original illusion array on the island had been broken, and Liu Ying created a new one to prevent the cave from being discovered.
She stood in front of the cave and said, “There are four key points in the array on the door. Mr. Xiao, please focus your soul fore on this key point.”
He took a doubtful look at Xiao Jinting.
Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “I got it.”
Liu Ying said, “Let’s start.” She took out an array disc, and the others stood on the side.
When Xiao Jinting and the others put their soul force into different key points of the array, Liu Ying moved the array disc and muttered something.
Xiao Jinting felt that the array was draining his soul force greedily, and soon one-third of his soul force was consumed. He saw Chen Lifeng take out a pill and swallow it. He remembered that Chen Lifeng told him that he could replenish his soul forces by taking pills.
Although Xiao Jinting thought his soul force was still sufficient, he pretended that his soul force was exhausted and took a pill. Huangfu Xuan and Hu Tian took the pills almost at the same time.
Suddenly, Liu Ying shouted, “Break it.” A hole appeared in the door.
She said, “Go inside.”
They went through the hold at the same time. Xiao Jinting looked back and found the hole closed up again.
Huangfu Xuan looked at Xiao Jinting and said with a smile, “Mr. Xiao, you are inscrutable. When my soul force was almost exhausted, I saw you were still energetic.”
Xiao Jinting smiled and said weakly, “Mr. Huangfu, you are flattering me. I was pretending to be tough. If Mr. Liu had cracked the array a minute later, I would have broken down.”
Huangfu Xuan smiled and said, “Let’s go.” He didn’t seem to believe Xiao Jinting.
Liu Ying looked at Xiao Jinting wonderingly.
Chen Lifeng sent a message to Xiao Jinting. “You are stronger than I imagined.”
He was amazed. When he asked Xiao Jinting to join them, he felt uneasy.
