In other words, after the treasure-hunting rat Dabao entered the formation, she swam toward the valley along the gaps in the formation like a fish entering the water.

Along the way, various formations that came close to her would lose their effect once they touched the light on her body.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, it passed through the coverage of the formation.

After leaving the formation, what caught Dabao's eyes was an open cave entrance.

Looking at the empty surroundings, Dabao knew that if there really was any cultivation inheritance or treasure, it must be in the cave.

So, Dabao quickly came to the cave, activated her magical power, and took a closer look.

There are so many formations in the surrounding valleys, but it doesn't believe that the most important cave has no formation laid out.

Seeing this, Dabao was glad that she did not act rashly. She saw that the cave in front of her, although there was no formation this time, was densely covered with restrictions that were higher than the formation.

 

Seeing the restriction, Dabao thought about it carefully and smiled happily.

If it is a formation, it may be a little more troublesome.

But this restriction can’t stop her at all.

Just now it recalled the knowledge in its mind and then realized that restriction is actually another way to use the formation.

And what it is least afraid of is formations, because both formations and restrictions are just a means to mobilize some simple rules between heaven and earth.

As for their treasure-hunting rat clan, one of their three great talents is to ignore the rules.

This is also the reason why their treasure-hunting rat clan ranks first in the ranking of exotic beasts.

Even the rules can be ignored, let alone formations and restrictions.

This means that most people’s caves and treasure houses are no different from the homes of their clan.

 

Restriction - comes from the formation.

But no one knows exactly who first created Restriction and named it.

As for Dabao's bloodline inheritance memory, there is only a brief introduction to the origin of the Restriction and the reasons for its formation.

 

It is said that in ancient times, the Chaos emerged.

A large number of Heavenly Caves and Blessed Lands appeared in the ancient continent. A god observed the reasons for their formation and combined them with the power of rules to create a method that could use the treasures of heaven and earth to arrange and form the Heavenly Caves and Blessed Lands. It was named Formation.

 

Then, based on this reasoning, four types of formations were created.

They are the four original divine formations: attack formation, sealing formation, defense formation, and auxiliary formation.

 

Then, in a battle with other gods, he used the formation he created and won a big victory.

An onlooker asked, "What is this method?"

He said: Formation!

Thus, the word formation appeared in the ears of other gods for the first time.

 

Then, the god accidentally lost it, and the inheritance of the formation fell into the hands of other gods. One passed it to ten, ten passed it to a hundred, and a hundred passed it to a thousand.

In this way, the name of the formation spread.

After obtaining the formation, there will always be some intelligent people who will have some insights during the use of it.

After various improvements, there are more and more types of formations, but they still cannot escape the scope of the four major divine formations.

 

When it spread to the immortal world because the materials for setting up the formation were difficult to find, the immortal world had to find ways to simplify the power of the formation, so the immortal formation system was formed.

In the world of cultivation, due to various reasons, the immortal formation was simplified and finally became the formation used in the world of cultivation now.

After the formation spread, some ancient great masters understood the way of refining pills and weapons.

 

Later, when some powerful people were refining pills, they discovered that formations could increase the success rate of refining pills.

For example, when making a pill, you need to absorb a large amount of spiritual qi. At this time, if you arrange a spirit gathering formation, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

 

From the outside to the inside first, there are always some talented and intelligent people who think that since the formation can be used externally, why can't it be reduced and used inside the pills?

So, under this situation, the miniature formation, that is, the restriction, was born.

 

Later, some weapon refiners followed suit and found methods to make the weapons more powerful and possess various abilities of the formation.

As a result, the method of restriction gradually became widespread.

 

Then, after being spread to the world of cultivation, it has evolved into various types of complete restrictions.

Practicing weapons, refining elixirs, and practicing cultivation can be seen everywhere.

And because the restriction is based on the formation, it will have more wonderful effects if it is combined with the formation.

 

After confirming that there was no danger, Dabao activated her innate ability as soon as her heart moved.

Then, a faint layer of light appeared on the hair.

Then, it cautiously walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Arriving at the cave entrance, to the ignorant, the cave entrance is completely empty.

However, in Dabao's eyes, the cave is covered with thin lines of restrictions, densely packed like a fishing net. If someone who doesn't understand touches any of the restrictions, it will cause a chain reaction.

This restriction not only has its own attack capabilities but is also connected to the large formation outside.

If someone touches the restriction, he will not only trigger a large array of attacks but also be attacked by various restrictions.

 

The formation is still fine. If you understand it, even if the formation is activated, your life will not be in danger.

But restrictions are different because no one knows what kind of restrictions they have put in place.

Because not every restriction is the same, and when some people learn about restrictions, they have their own insights. With a slight change, the restriction becomes another kind.

In this way, except for the original owner, even people who understand the restrictions dare not say that they can break other people's restrictions 100%.

 

So, if they know each other, that’s okay, but if they don’t, who knows what the restriction is?

If it's a seal, the most it can do is be sealed.

However, if you encounter those transmission restrictions and attack restrictions, you will be in trouble.

 

Dabao observed it for a moment, and she probably knew the restrictions at the entrance of the cave, and then she walked towards the entrance of the cave.

 

Heavenly thunder restriction

Sealing restriction

Transmission restriction

Hiding restriction

Wait, wait, there are some restrictions that even Dabao cannot name.

 

It seems that the owner of this cave was a master of restrictions.

Dabao thought as she walked.

 

Arriving in front of the restriction, Dabao carefully probed with her paws and found that there was no reaction at all, and then she felt relieved.

Although it is said in the bloodline inheritance that the innate magical power of its clan can ignore various rules, after all, that refers to ancient times, not the present, so it has to test it.

 

After the test was completed, Dabao found that it was true as stated in the inherited memory, that the restriction had no effect on it.

So, Dabao moved her body and drilled in the direction of the restriction.

Then, she saw the restrictions flashing and being activated one after another.

At this time, the glorious light surrounding Dabao also played its role. After the restriction approached, it was as if it couldn't find the target, completely ignoring it as it drilled Dabao inside.

 

After passing through the restriction, Dabao came to the cave.

The cave is not big, only five or six meters deep, and you can see the whole thing at a glance.

The inside doesn't look like a natural cave at all, but like it was dug by man. The walls of the cave are covered with sword marks.

 

Along the end of the cave was a man sitting cross-legged in the center.

Dabao stepped forward to take a look and saw that this man had his eyes closed tightly, his face was fair as if carved from white jade, his facial features were distinct, and his long hair was tied up by a red ribbon and hung around his waist.

Wearing a snow-white gold silk robe and a pair of black gold-plated combat boots, he sat there motionless with his legs crossed.

 

If it weren't for the fact that his body was lifeless, he would look like he was sleeping.

But Dabao knew that the man in front of her was dead.

It may be that the realm during life was high enough, so the body remained the same as it was during life and never decayed.

 

"It turned out to be a dead man! It scared me."

"Let's see if there are any good things first, then talk about anything else."

Dabao said to herself and looked around the cave.

After going around, Dabao was disappointed, because there was nothing in the cave except this body.

He was still a poor man. The protection outside was so tight. She thought it was the ruins of a cave, but she didn’t expect it to be just a tomb. It was really unlucky.

 

She came in full of confidence, but she didn’t even see a baby’s hair.

"Forget it, let's go out and find master."

Dabao thought with a look of reluctance.

 

Unexpectedly, just as it turned to leave, suddenly, with sharp eyes, it discovered a bright light flashing past the finger part of the corpse.

Dabao looked back and saw an inconspicuous ring on the middle finger of the corpse's right hand, shining with a faint light.

Dabao was overjoyed when she saw it, and four big words suddenly appeared in her heart: "Storage Ring"
