He descended with Bai Ling.
The deeper they went, the more terrified Bai Ling became.
The surroundings were completely dark, so much so that she couldn't see her fingers, filling her with immense fear.
"Dragon... Dragon God, where are we going?"
"What? Scared?" Ao Yuan asked indifferently.
"I..." Bai Ling desperately wanted to retort that in this environment, who wouldn't be afraid?
However, before she could finish, spots of golden light suddenly flashed around her.
The golden light was not strong, just enough for her to see the surrounding scenery clearly.
Seeing the light, Bai Ling felt a little calmer.
However.
The next second, her body suddenly stiffened, and her pupils contracted sharply.
She saw several colossal figures lurking around her.
Although she couldn't see their appearance clearly, Bai Ling could vaguely distinguish that these were demon beasts.
Demon beasts as large as small mountains!
Bai Ling had no doubt that if she were eaten by one, it wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth!
"How... how can there be such large demon beasts!"
Bai Ling began to feel panicked. She had never seen such large demon beasts in her life.
Of course, this excluded Ao Yuan.
Thinking of Ao Yuan, Bai Ling couldn't help but shrink closer to him.
Only Ao Yuan beside her could provide her with a sense of security.
"What? Scared?" Ao Yuan asked with a laugh, feeling Bai Ling's trembling body.
"I..." Bai Ling stammered, but the trembling of her body eloquently conveyed what she couldn't say.
"Hahaha!"
Ao Yuan laughed heartily and explained gently, "Don't worry, they are sea demon beasts, and they are also my subordinates. They won't attack you."
Hearing this, Bai Ling felt a little calmer.
Then, before she could ask anything, Ao Yuan suddenly grabbed her and plunged rapidly downwards.
Ao Yuan's body emitted a bright light, and Bai Ling could clearly see the surroundings.
The surroundings were dark and silent.
It felt like being trapped in a cage.
This made Bai Ling's emotions involuntarily become somewhat anxious.
However.
At that moment, the darkness around them was suddenly dispelled.
Looking ahead, a brilliant radiance suddenly appeared.
This radiance was like a deep cave, very eye-catching.
Then.
She saw Ao Yuan holding her as they stopped in front of this brilliant radiance.
It seemed this was their destination.
"Dragon God... what is this place..." Bai Ling's gaze was fixed on this brilliant radiance, as if it possessed an extraordinary charm.
"Go in."
Ao Yuan didn't speak. He grabbed Bai Ling, shook his body, and leaped in.
*Bzzzz!*
A wave of dizziness suddenly struck.
However, the dizziness soon dissipated.
Bai Ling slowly opened her eyes and was stunned.
The scene before her had undergone a complete transformation.
The surroundings were still silent.
But unlike the darkness of the seabed, although it was still dim here, it didn't give people a sense of oppression.
Instead, an ancient aura washed over them.
And in this dimness, the entire landscape could be seen clearly.
It stretched as far as the eye could see, vast and magnificent.
But the scenery that met their eyes was incredibly chaotic.
Ruins.
Everything they saw were ruins.
From what they saw, it looked like a city abandoned for thousands of years.
Bai Ling took in everything around her, her heart filled with confusion.
She wondered what this place was.
And why Ao Yuan had brought her here.
Before she could ask, Ao Yuan led her to a ruined wall.
"This... this is..."
After a glance, Bai Ling's gaze was immediately captivated.
She immediately recognized that the patterns carved on the wall should be a formation.
This formation was profound, but perhaps due to the passage of time, it had almost faded into nothingness.
If she hadn't studied formations in the past few days, she might not have been able to distinguish it as a remnant carving.
Suppressing her confusion, Bai Ling continued to scan her surroundings.
At this moment, she was stunned.
The surrounding walls and various ruins faintly showed traces of formations.
And these formations seemed to be of no low rank.
They were extremely profound.
Bai Ling was immensely shocked and couldn't help but move towards these ruins and walls.
After scanning for a full quarter of an hour, a look of joy burst into Bai Ling's eyes.
According to her estimation, the ruins and walls were indeed covered in formations.
And these formations were indeed of no low rank.
The only pity was that perhaps due to time, the formations here were not fully preserved.
However, Bai Ling understood.
If she could comprehend all these formations, her path of formations would undoubtedly reach a higher level!
"How is it here?"
As she regained her senses, Ao Yuan's gentle voice echoed in her ears.
"Good, very good!"
Bai Ling couldn't hide her joy and nodded repeatedly, "I like it here very much."
Ao Yuan smiled and then asked, "Do you have the confidence to restore these formations?"
He paused and then continued, "You don't need to restore them to be the same as before, just having some of their former power is enough."
Bai Ling froze, her eyes suddenly widened a little.
Only now did she finally understand why Ao Yuan had brought her here.
"This..."
Bai Ling lowered her head in thought, then took a deep breath, and raised her head, saying heavily, "It is possible, but..."
"It will take some time, and I don't know how much I can restore."
Restoring formations was far more difficult than building them.
But this was relative. At least after building a formation, one's understanding of formations would increase.
Moreover, merely repairing them required far less materials than building them from scratch.
After all, Ao Yuan had said he didn't need them to be exactly as they were before.
"Alright then."
Ao Yuan nodded and smiled, "Then for these formations, you can start by comprehending them and see how far you can go!"
"Okay!"
Bai Ling was pleasantly surprised. After saying so, she immediately went to a remnant formation and began to observe it carefully.
This was no less than an opportunity for her.
If she could truly comprehend these formations, her understanding of formations and her strength would both advance by a level.
Ao Yuan watched Bai Ling quietly.
After waiting for a while, seeing Bai Ling engrossed in observing the formations.
Ao Yuan did not linger. He swayed his body and quietly withdrew from Atlantis.
With Bai Ling here, Ao Yuan believed that in time, Atlantis would regain some of its former glory.
As for him.
What he needed to do now was not to watch Bai Ling.
But to find out what those people hovering around Mount Taibai were trying to do!
