第一千五百二十五章 飞升灵界

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed as he followed the sound. "Only to see dozens of stone pillars, each a dozen feet thick, scattered around the grassy field in front."

However, what caught Lin Xuan’s attention was not this.

Instead, there was a teleportation array at the center of the grassland, an ancient and weathered design that seemed to have withstood countless years of trials.

Lin Xuan's heart leaped with joy, but he did not immediately rush up. Instead, he released his spirit sense and searched around continuously.

"Brother, you're overthinking this. There are no restrictions surrounding the teleportation array," Fairy Ruyan said with a smile. With only two days left before the Abyss Gate closed, there was little time to waste.

Before she could finish speaking, her body was enveloped in a burst of spiritual light as she prepared to fly past.

However, Lin Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Brother, what is it?" Ruyan asked hesitantly, already regarding him as a pillar of support on this journey.

Lin Xuan frowned deeply and did not answer, but his pupils turned into five vivid colors, like beautiful glass, with flickering light within them.

He had fully activated the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique, but could only see blurry things. The Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes could pierce through all illusions, but Lin Xuan's current cultivation was still too low.

After a moment, Lin Xuan's hands moved rapidly, casting spell after spell.

The teleportation array flashed, and several runes appeared from within, shining with golden light before diving into the white fog.

This time, it worked. The white fog began to oscillate in a regular pattern.

Gurgling sounds filled his ears as if water was boiling on a stove.

Lin Xuan smiled secretly, reciting mysterious incantations and casting more spells.

"How is it going?" After a cup of tea's worth of time passed, Lin Xuan finally stopped. Ruyan looked at him carefully and asked, "Brother, can we break this restriction?"

"Yes, there is a way, but it will take about half a day," Lin Xuan wiped his forehead with sweat and visibly relaxed. Although the array was incredibly complex, he had not encountered anything like the world-defying arrays.

Otherwise, without using his cultivation to blood-sacrifice or summoning a demon dragon, all his efforts would have been in vain.

"Half a day? We must hurry. There's little time left. How can I help?" Ruyan's expression was half worried and half hopeful as she spoke with great confidence.

As long as they could ascend to the Spirit Realm, she would not hesitate even if it meant paying some price.

"Alright, Sister, listen carefully…" Lin Xuan's face turned serious, and Ruyan leaned in.

Of course, Moon also joined them. Three people needed to work closely together to break the array.

Boom!

A loud noise echoed as the white fog before them churned violently, as if a fierce dragon was inside. Lin Xuan's face showed intense tension as he wielded his divine treasure and attacked continuously.

After some time, louder explosions followed, and finally, the array began to collapse. The white fog dissipated, revealing the scenery within.

The scattered stone pillars were nowhere to be seen, leaving only the teleportation array standing alone in its place.

"Phew!"

Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had put in much effort, it seemed they had not made any mistakes. This was fortunate since time was running out. He released his spirit sense and confirmed there were no more restrictions before appearing beside the teleportation array.

"Eh, what is this…?"

As Lin Xuan's gaze swept over the array, his expression changed dramatically.

Ruyan's face turned cold as ice, then transformed into a look of stubborn determination. The First Female Cultivator of the Heavenly Cloud Twelve States, who had ruled the Sea and Sky Pavilion for centuries, kneeled on the ground without regard for her image.

"Never thought all this effort would end in nothing," she said with a choked voice.

Indeed, it was understandable why Ruyan was so upset. The array was both ancient and exquisite, but one corner was broken, measuring about a palm's size.

As the saying goes, "a small error can lead to a great mistake." For something as complex as a teleportation array, even minor damage could affect its function.

Fairy Ruyan knew some array techniques, but this array had bypassed the heavens and directly entered the Spirit Realm. Its complexity was beyond imagination, making it impossible to repair.

Lin Xuan's expression mirrored hers. Had all his efforts been in vain?

Without speaking, Lin Xuan's eyes showed a fierce determination.

As he scanned the array, suddenly, his brows raised as if he had discovered something, and an excited look appeared on his face.

"Brother, what is it?" Ruyan, though dejected, noticed every move of Lin Xuan, who was only a dozen feet away.

Lin Xuan did not speak but instead reached into his waistband, pulling out a white jade tube. He pressed it to his forehead.

After a moment, Lin Xuan raised his head, his expression growing increasingly strange—partly excited and partly hesitant, like he couldn't make up his mind.

"How is it going, Brother? What did you discover? Don’t keep us in suspense; I’m about to go mad," Ruyan's face showed both hope and anxiety as she looked at Lin Xuan’s expression.

Lin Xuan did not speak but handed the jade tube directly to her.

Ruyan pressed it to her forehead, then raised her head with a strange look. "Where did you get this?"

Inside were many intricate patterns and talismans, deeply complex, yet when compared closely, they matched those on the array before them.

"Let’s not discuss its origin for now. Do you think we can repair this array using this?" Lin Xuan said slowly.

This item was from back then in the Indeterminate River, when he went to the Asura Palace. At the time, he had casually copied it onto a blank jade tube without understanding it fully.

He never expected it would be useful now, though whether they could repair the array remained uncertain since even Lin Xuan couldn’t understand it and would have to guess at its construction.

"Let’s try!" Fairy Ruyan's face showed hesitation but ultimately decided not to miss this last chance. The two began searching their storage bags for materials.

Fortunately, both were at the Separation Stage with ample resources. In no time, they gathered enough materials, including Moon, who joined in.

The repair process was incredibly slow and required meticulous attention to detail. After a day and night of non-stop effort, the array finally repaired itself.

There were twenty-seven slots around it.

Lin Xuan and Fairy Ruyan nearly emptied their storage bags before gathering several top-grade crystals.

Lin Xuan cast a spell, and the patterns on the array glowed like mercury.

It worked!

Lin Xuan was overjoyed. Just as he wanted to test further, a thunderclap echoed in his ears. The surroundings suddenly changed dramatically.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth became chaotic, lightning streaking across the sky, even forming several vortexes above their heads…

Could it be…

"Bad luck, the Abyss Gate is about to open…" Fairy Ruyan's face turned pale.

Lin Xuan was equally alarmed. He had not expected this misfortune; they didn't even have time to test the array properly.

Going up now would be too dangerous, risking being thrown into a spatial storm instead of reaching the Spirit Realm.

But waiting would mean missing this opportunity and being sent back to Penglai Mountain.

Lin Xuan and Fairy Ruyan exchanged glances, caught between their options. But they had no time for further deliberation.

Lin Xuan gritted his teeth; ascending to the Spirit Realm meant taking some risks. He dashed over to the center of the array.

Moon naturally followed closely. Fairy Ruyan bit her lip and stepped up as well.

A light enveloped them, and the three disappeared simultaneously.
