Lin Wu had been stuck with the norm that all temples must have been hidden deep underground. But now, after hearing the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's words, he realized he had been short sighted.
"Of Course! The statues were looking up, thus whatever the location is, it must be in the sky!" Lin Wu said out loud.
"Yes, that is what I thought." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle replied.
"That was nice thinking, let's see if it really is there though." Lin Wu stated before flying up.
Lin Wu did not doubt the fact if a temple or whatever the location was could float or not; this was after all, a cultivation world. Whether it be floating buildings or entire mountains, nothing was too unbelievable in a world such as this.
When Lin Wu flew up the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle followed behind him. After all, she was also curious about it now. The two of them flew up straight, piercing through the clouds before coming out on top of them.
When they had originally come to find the six temples, it had been night time. But enough time had passed by now that the sun had come out in the sky. Ascending past the dark gloomy clouds of the Dread Coil Marsh, Lin Wu saw the yellow sun spreading its warmth.
"Ah… this does feel quite good." Lin Wu muttered.
He looked up for any signs of the suspected location, but did not find it.
"Hmm… it must either be too far up such that it looks like a dot, or it must be under some kind of an illusory formation." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
He continued rising up to the point where the system could use the scanner again and activated it.
"System search for it." Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~

SCANNER ACTIVATED: New parameters selected
SCAN COMPETED: Spirit Qi fluctuation detected
MAP UPDATED: Adding new marker

Lin Wu saw the system's notifications and realized that he was right. He opened the map and saw that a new layer had been added to it. This layer was at the very top and represented the sky.
Lin Wu switched to the layer and saw that it was mostly empty. There was only one marker on it, which was above Lin Wu. In fact, it was within a hand's distance from where he had been standing.
"Never expected the illusory formation to be this good. I doubt anyone else would have had an easy time finding this place." Lin Wu said.
He used his spirit sense and found that it was as if there was nothing there. The illusory formation was much stronger than he thought. He simply followed the directions of the map and entered the formation.
~Shua~
The formation array did not block Lin Wu and he could easily enter it. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle though, suddenly saw him disappear into thin air. She searched with her spirit sense and did not see where he had gone.
But then a moment later.
~shua~
"Come in, this place is hidden behind an illusory formation." Lin Wu spoke while poking his head out from the limits of the illusory formation.
The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle nodded her head and entered the formation cautiously. Upon entering it, she suddenly saw the area change abruptly. There was now a broad platform in front of her that looked similar to that of the temples.
But in the center of it, there was a wide altar. The altar had multiple steps at the top of which a flat tray like thing was kept. There were formation runes surrounding the entire altar that prevented one from approaching it.
Lin Wu approached the altar and touched it, finding it to be a complex barrier.
"Hmm… this will take a while…" Lin Wu muttered.
~humm~
But upon his touch, the runes seemed to have become active. Lin Wu then saw a red glow on top of the tray that was kept on the altar.
"Huh? Feathers?" Lin Wu said upon seeing the red flow.
On the tray, three stone feathers were kept. They alas had a red vein in the center of them from which the red light was coming from. They were the same as the stone feather Lin Wu had gotten earlier.
"Wait… could it be?" Lin Wu muttered as an idea appeared in his mind.
He took out the stone feather from the inventory, causing a change in the formation.
~heng~
The formation runes started to shift as the stone feather reacted with it. Soon the runes all parted, creating an opening in the barrier for Lin Wu to pass through. Entering it, he was now free to approach the altar.
He climbed the steps and got to the top, fully seeing the tray. There were four indentations in the tray and in three of them the stone feathers were kept. While one of the indentations was empty, as if something was taken out from it.
The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had also entered the barrier by now and was watching the entire thing curiously.
"More of the keys?" the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle stated.
"Yes… seems like this is where they are supposed to be inserted." Lin Wu replied.
"Do it then." The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle said straightforwardly.
Lin Wu was a bit taken aback by her words, but then realized there wasn't really anything to fear here. He had the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle with him who was at the Dao Shell realm, thus even if he faced something dangerous he would be able to fight them with her assistance.
"Alright." Lin Wu said before putting the stone feather in the indentation.
~HONG~
A loud sound could be heard as the formations of the platform started to change. New runes appeared in the air before the platform started to move. Lin Wu and the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle trembled slightly but were able to balance themselves.
"Let's see where this takes us…"
