Chapter 1996: Unexpected Teleportation

"Is this the interdimensional teleportation array?" Lin Xuan's expression showed surprise as he looked at the scene before him.

Lin Xuan was no stranger to teleportation arrays. Not only had he studied array techniques, but he had also used various ancient ones in his ascension to the Spirit Realm. Even after ascending to the Spirit Realm, it wasn't by breaking through the void; instead, he cleverly found an ancient teleportation array deep within Penglai Mountain and used it to bypass the heavenly tribulation.

Throughout Lin Xuan's cultivation journey, teleportation arrays were familiar territory for him. However, this one before his eyes still left him in awe.

It wasn't a single teleportation array but rather a cluster of them. Lin Xuan counted nine complex arrays arranged in some pattern, paired together to form an intricate network.

"Compound array."

Lin Xuan was taken aback. The current array design seemed more elaborate than those recorded in the Book of Primordial Elements, as this book had been obtained from the mortal realm while the Eastern Sea ranked lower in the Spirit Realm. Nevertheless, it still represented a level of complexity typical of the Spirit Realm.

Actually, this array wasn't just designed by mortals; it was set up by ancient powerful beings.

"Greetings, Palace Master."

The vast cave, elliptical and several thousand feet wide, housed an old black-robed cultivator besides the mysterious array. Lin Xuan's gaze swept over him; the man looked elderly with deep wrinkles, his skin as dry as bark.

This was a cultivator at the Separation Stage, but Gu Tianyang's face showed some respect. He raised his hand in a gesture of reassurance: "Old Master Wu, no need for such formalities. Is there any issue with the teleportation array?"

"Reporting to Palace Master, I have already inspected it and confirmed that it is functioning normally. However, if we actually activate it, there might be some errors. Please forgive my limited abilities; I cannot guarantee a hundred percent success," said the black-robed cultivator, standing respectfully.

"Brother Lin, although Old Master Wu's cultivation level is low, he is our chief array mage. His words usually hold true. Do you still wish to teleport?"

"Yes, Palace Master, my mind is made up. There’s no need for further persuasion."

"Very well!"

Gu Tianyang sighed: "Since that is the case, let us begin, Old Master Wu."

The black-robed cultivator nodded and did not delay. He flicked his sleeves, and an jade box flew out. Then he lightly tapped his fingers, opening the lid to reveal a colorful array of light.

"Top-grade crystal stones and demon pills," Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed in interest. The value of these items alone was significant, but he showed no unusual expression; interdimensional teleportation arrays required substantial spiritual energy to activate.

The black-robed cultivator consecutively tapped his fingers, sending crystal stones and demon pills into the array slots with precision.

Next, he raised both hands and drew strange trajectories in mid-air. He also recited ancient and mysterious incantations, his voice resonating with an archaic tone that Lin Xuan had never heard before—likely from the era of the Great Void. His body twisted as if performing some ancient ritual.

After a short while, the array stirred to life, as if awakened by a sea breeze. Spiritual light flashed wildly, followed by a liquid silver glow that connected all nine arrays into one.

"Senior, please step up quickly," the black-robed cultivator's hoarse voice echoed.

Lin Xuan did not hesitate and appeared in the center of the array.

"Go!"

The black-robed cultivator bellowed, his voice like thunder. As he spoke, the surrounding primordial energy became agitated, forming a swirling vortex that enveloped Lin Xuan, obscuring him from view.

This chaos lasted only a few seconds before everything settled down in the underground cavern.

The array's light dimmed, and Lin Xuan disappeared without a trace.

...

The sky was darkening. This was an uninhabited wasteland.

Withered vines, old trees, and crows' cacophony filled his ears. On the ground lay bones of some wild boar or unknown animal, attracting a flock of crows that circled around them.

The scene was desolate to the extreme.

Suddenly, vibrant spiritual light appeared in the distance, followed by several streaks of different colors hurtling towards this area with incredible speed. In just a moment, they approached and "caw," the crows scattered from the wild boar bones.

Now, Lin Xuan could see the cultivators within the light. Among them was an elderly man in his fifties, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, while the rest were young men and women with barely any cultivation power—some just at the Foundation Establishment stage, and the weakest ones were at the Separation Stage.

Such strength would be considered mere novices in the cultivation world.

Their faces showed panic as beads of sweat dripped from their foreheads. The young cultivators' spiritual energy was pale, especially those at the Separation Stage.

"Uncle Zhao, have we managed to escape that monster? If we keep flying like this, we won't last much longer," a trembling voice said, followed by labored breathing.

"I don’t know, but the Three Yang Eight Trigram Array's array talismans were personally bestowed by the sect leader. I heard from my senior brother that it took eight hundred crystal stones to procure them. Their power is formidable; even if we can't kill the monster, trapping him for a couple of hours should be possible."

The elderly man sighed, his words uncertain despite the confidence in his tone. He had witnessed the powers of those foreign demons firsthand and knew they were no ordinary foes. Although the Three Yang Eight Trigram Array was an expensive treasure bought with eight hundred crystal stones, its effectiveness against enemies remained questionable.

But he couldn't help but speak this way; he was the backbone of these cultivators. Among them, only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators had just recently ascended and were still in their early stages, needing his care like对待侄子一般。
