Just after Ye Li completely corrected the rune trajectory, he stood in front of the blurred statue in the center again.
He stretched out his hand and touched the stone statue, and a stream of spiritual energy poured into it.
In an instant, a torrent of spiritual energy gushed out of the statue and poured into the surrounding rune veins.
In just a blink of an eye, the spiritual energy veins spread to all around, and a complete rune mark appeared in the palace in an instant.
As the rune mark appeared, the stone statue in front of Ye Li began to vibrate violently. The surrounding rune marks suddenly shrank and turned into a light mark, which was directly imprinted into the statue in front of him.
A rune formation that was not there originally suddenly appeared on the statue.
In other words, the rune mark just now was like a key, instantly opening the closed outer shell of the statue and revealing the core inside.
Ye Li took a look at the rune formation on the statue and was suddenly shocked, because he found that this rune formation was not something used for attack or defense, but a very sophisticated rune lock.
The function of this rune lock is to seal certain things. Once it is forcibly destroyed, the rune formation will self-destruct, which may not only injure the destroyer, but also destroy the precious items stored inside.
The rune lock must require a rune key to open. Now that most of the people of the Great Snow Mountain Cult are dead, it will probably be difficult for Ye Li to find out what the rune key of this place is.
Among those people they captured alive, there were only a few experts, and they might not be able to get the key from them. Perhaps among those who were still alive, no one actually knew what the key was.
The person who actually knew what the key was had died in the battle.
He took a deep breath and observed the rune formation lock. With his level as a formation master, he understood after a brief observation that this formation lock had a total of seven rune keys.
In other words, Ye Li needs seven runes to open this rune formation.
After careful consideration, Ye Li decided to take a risk and directly reverse crack the rune formation lock.
"Ye Li, what's the secret of this thing!?"
Tunri and the other three also saw the rune mark condensed on the statue in front of them. It was obvious that the statue in front of them had undergone some changes.
What exactly this change was? Tunri and the others couldn't tell from the outside, so Tunri asked directly.
Ye Li said: “This is a rune array lock, used to block certain things.
There may be something hidden within this statue that can only be opened by someone with the Rune Key!"
Hearing Ye Li's words, Tunri was stunned for a moment and said, "I see, so where should we go to find the rune key?"
Ye Li shook his head and said, "It's not easy for us to find the rune keys now, and it's very likely that we won't be able to find them at all.
So I plan to find a way to directly crack this rune formation lock.
This rune array lock requires seven runes to break, and the seven runes obviously have to fit into the gaps reserved in the rune lock.
So I planned to reverse the exit rune key to see what it looked like. After all, I have the Eye of Origin, and I can clearly see what the gap representing the rune key looks like in the rune formation!"
Hearing Ye Li's words, Tunri was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I see, it seems that your method may be more reliable than looking for the rune key.
After all, most of the people of the Great Snow Mountain Cult are dead, and the possibility of you reversely deducing the structure of the rune key is much higher than the possibility of finding out the whereabouts of the rune key."
Ye Li nodded and said, "But reverse deduction is not an easy task, because I have to perfectly imitate the shape of the rune key.
This is equivalent to creating seven runes with fixed shapes, and the created runes must perfectly fit the gaps in the rune key.
If there is any mismatch, the rune array lock cannot be opened."
After Ye Li finished speaking, he activated the Eye of Origin again, and the statue in front of him instantly became almost transparent.
The trajectory of the rune formation in the statue appeared clearly in his eyes.
This is an extremely repetitive rune formation. The number of rune tracks in the formation is astonishingly large, and inside the rune formation, there are indeed seven gaps of different shapes.
There are many interrupted rune tracks in the gap, and these interrupted rune tracks are naturally used to connect the rune keys.
What Ye Li has to do is to create a rune key that can perfectly connect the joints of these runes.
Soon Ye Li was completely immersed in creation and had completely ignored the surrounding environment. Tunri and the other three guarded around Ye Li, not allowing anyone to disturb him.
The people from the Five Saints Alliance outside were still quickly clearing out the various resources in the Great Snow Mountain Divine Sect. Ou Qianxie had a big smile on his face, as their harvest this time was really huge.
The Five Saints Alliance has more and more people and its consumption is also increasing. It is indeed difficult to support their rapid development relying solely on the resources in Qilin Ridge and the resources they occasionally purchase.
But now with the support of holy land resources, the development speed of the Five Holy Alliance will increase rapidly.
The current Five Saints Alliance is already very powerful, and it doesn't take much time to break through the defense of a holy base.
Although Ye Li made a lot of contributions, even if Ye Li was not there, the others would have combined their full strength to attack the Great Snow Mountain Divine Sect, and the Great Snow Mountain Divine Sect would still have been completely conquered.
Now is the time to speed up the collection of resources. If the Five Sacred Alliance does not clear out the resources here quickly, once the reinforcements from the Heavenly Soul Society arrive, there will be a lot of trouble.
After several clashes with the Five Sacred Alliance, the current Tianhun Society army must have a better understanding of the Five Sacred Alliance.
Just like the shields used by the Great Snow Mountain Cult, these are all arrangements aimed at the Five Holy Alliance.
The Heavenly Soul Society must have more arrangements in place. Even if the Five Saints Alliance can defeat them, they will suffer heavy losses, which is very unprofitable for them.
The resources of the Great Snow Mountain Cult were being quickly cleared out by the Five Saints Alliance. After being packed up, some of the more valuable resources were handed over to the flying monsters, which took them back to Qilin Ridge first.
In just half a day, most of the precious resources of the Great Snow Mountain Divine Cult had been taken away by the flying monsters. The flying monsters have a strong carrying capacity and can take away a lot of things at a time. The amount of resources that a team of flying monsters can take away is naturally very considerable.
