If this speculation is correct, the identity of the mummy can be revealed.

With a hopeful attitude, Lin Yifan looked at the mummy's hands to see if there was a Yellow Immortal Ring.

The withered hands had nothing on them, but the observant Lin Yifan noticed an imprint resembling a ring on the mummy's right thumb.

This is a significant discovery, suggesting the mummy's identity might be that of the Sect Hierarch of the Moon Worship Sect.

After all, the Sect Hierarch would certainly keep the Immortal Ring with them at all times, and the safest method would be to wear it on their hand.

The thumb symbolizes authority, and wearing the Yellow Immortal Ring on it is fitting.

Though this is an important clue, it is also bad news that fails to pique Lin Yifan's interest.

"Sigh! In the end, it's all in vain?"

He believed the Yellow Immortal Ring was likely taken by the Sect Hierarch's senior brother, as it was the senior brother who killed the Sect Hierarch, and informed by the supporting Elder, he should have known about this valuable item in the Sect Hierarch's possession.

If the Yellow Immortal Ring was indeed taken, then what exactly was hidden beneath the Black Gold Chair?

Lin Yifan grew even more curious. Could something be more important than the Yellow Immortal Ring?

He thought that when the enemies of the Moon Worship Sect joined forces to attack, it wasn't just for revenge; they were likely after the Yellow Immortal Ring and the Peerless Treasure hidden beneath the Black Gold Chair.

Since this mummy might be the Sect Hierarch, could there possibly be other treasures left on it that weren't taken?

Fueled by curiosity, Lin Yifan ventured into the Azalea Pond, first paying his respects to the mummy before reaching out to feel its clothes.

Indeed, despite the passage of hundreds of thousands of years, the mummy's clothes hadn't rotted, likely due to the material.

Lin Yifan considered the clothes to be a treasure of considerable value, but he wouldn't take them; they were the clothes of a deceased person, bringing bad luck, and they were so tattered they were unwearable.

After searching thoroughly, he found nothing. However, at the corner of the mummy's clothes, he discovered something unusual.

He felt a piece of fabric thicker than expected; the fabric at the corner should uniformly be the same thickness, regardless of overlap or stitching, and shouldn't be that thick or large.

"Could there be something hidden inside?"

This was Lin Yifan's first thought, and to confirm it, he immediately took out a pair of scissors and cut open the thick corner to reveal the contents.

His discovery brought surprise.

He found a small folded white cloth. It didn't show anything on the surface and needed to be opened.

Curious about what might be wrapped inside or written upon it, Lin Yifan carefully unfolded it.

As the small cloth opened bit by bit, the truth within gradually came to light.

The white cloth wasn't wrapping anything but detailed the arrangement method of an extremely complex Prohibition Formation.

This Prohibition Formation seemed familiar to Lin Yifan, as he recalled while tapping his leg—it was the same Prohibition Formation that had just stumped him on the Black Gold Chair.

With the detailed arrangement method on the white cloth, Lin Yifan only needed to locate the position of the Formation Eye to quickly crack it.

This was spectacular news; Lin Yifan felt extraordinarily lucky that he stumbled onto something useful. Luckily, he hadn't wallowed in frustration at the Holy King Palace attempting to decipher the method.

Suppressing his excitement, Lin Yifan carefully examined, searching for where the Formation Eye might be hidden.

After a quick glance, he noted the Prohibition Formation had dozens of Formation Eyes, indicating it was composed of numerous different types of Prohibition Formations—a highly intricate design.

Additionally, he found many false Formation Eyes positioned near real Formation Eyes or nearly overlapping them. It was no wonder that many Ancient Cultivation experts were baffled—there was a reasonable explanation.

Once somebody mistakenly treated a false Formation Eye as a real one, they'd never be able to crack the formation.

Marveling at the mysteries of the Prohibition Formation and its complexity, Lin Yifan conceived another idea.

This formation, if placed in today's Cultivation World, might be unbreakable. It's an excellent means to imprison or hide treasures; considering it for future use could be highly beneficial.

Identifying the true Formation Eyes, Lin Yifan quickly sorted through the information on the small cloth.

This Prohibition Formation was certainly not invented by the Sect Hierarch, as if they were the creator, there wouldn't be a need to document it.

The Sect Hierarch kept it to prevent forgetting the arrangement method due to its complexity; an error would render complete failure.

But, having completed the arrangement, why keep it? Carrying it posed a risk—should enemies discover it, the Peerless Treasure under the Black Gold Chair might not be secure.

Lin Yifan speculated the Sect Hierarch intended to retain it for potential future use.

One can never predict future events or acquisitions; needing a potent Prohibition Formation for preservation, defense, or imprisonment, this mysterious Ancient Formation could be invaluable.

This thought mirrored Lin Yifan's own. If he had such a Prohibition Formation, he would keep it for unforeseeable future needs.

With the cracking method found, the next step was to dismantle the powerful formation on the Black Gold Chair. Lin Yifan promptly returned to the Holy King Palace, diligently locating the real Formation Eyes.

Using the template for reference, he effortlessly discovered the hidden true Formation Eyes within the formation.

Without hesitation, he unleashed his Cultivation Power, striking them down one by one, completely destroying the powerful Prohibition Formation on the Black Gold Chair.

With a thunderous "boom" following the destruction of the last true Formation Eye, the Prohibition Formation that had perplexed Ancient Cultivators collapsed and ceased to exist.

Without the Prohibition Formation's reinforcement, Lin Yifan could easily move the Black Gold Chair—it indeed was the formation causing trouble.

Now that the formation was cracked, Lin Yifan yearned to discover what lay beneath.

He moved the Black Gold Chair aside, and a black groove appeared silently before him.
