第两千零六十三章 又见五色灵光

The other young ladies also knelt down, their faces filled with sorrow. Although it wasn't a permanent separation, whether they would have the chance to see each other again in the future was hard to say.

"Alright, get up. Why are you kneeling?"

Lin Xuan spoke softly.

Before his words had even finished, he heard a "wah" sound enter his ears, as Liu Ying couldn't help but cry. Among the four young ladies, she was undoubtedly the most fragile.

The other three were almost in the same state, just not weeping loudly; instead, they were sobbing quietly, but their reluctance was evident nonetheless.

"Alright, why are you crying?"

Seeing their genuine emotions, Lin Xuan felt a bit moved. He waved his sleeves and a white light flashed as several jade bottles appeared in the glow.

"These medicinal pills should be kept by you."

Before this, Lin Xuan had already given the four young ladies a large amount of medicinal treasures. This time, however, he brought out something even more precious—the spirit medicines inside those dozen jade bottles were enough to cause chaos in the mortal world if just one was taken out.

He hoped that these things could help them walk further on their cultivation path.

Lin Xuan's actions were already generous. He could only do so much; the rest depended on their own efforts and good fortune.

"Thank you, young master." The four young ladies expressed gratitude deeply. Lu Ying'er hesitated for a moment before speaking in a hesitant voice: "Since today’s parting, I don’t know if there will be an opportunity to serve you again. As a humble servant, I have one request that I hope the young master can agree to."

"Speak your mind," Lin Xuan said.

"It's about my wife, Lady Huan Yu. Although I believe she is safe, as the saying goes, worry can cloud judgment. I cannot rest easy until I know her whereabouts clearly. Therefore, I wish to return to the Spirit Realm with peace of mind."

There was another matter he needed to attend to: the ruins of the Mo Yue Clan in the天涯海阁. In the scroll left by Tian Lan Immortal, it mentioned that the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array had a connection with the Mo Yue Clan.

He couldn't afford to ignore such clues; there might be a chance to find the remaining cultivation techniques of the Mo Yue Sky Priestess Technique.

There were two matters he needed to address urgently. However, finding Lady Huan Yu's whereabouts wouldn’t be completed in just one or two days. He instructed Lu Ying'er and the others to keep their eyes open as well; it would take some time to gather information.

Considering the pros and cons, searching for the Mo Yue Clan’s ruins seemed more feasible.

His choice wasn't because he thought the Mo Yue Sky Priestess Technique was more important than finding his wife. It was simply that there were no clues at all. Rather than wandering aimlessly like a headless fly, it made sense to do what could be done first.

After making this decision, Lin Xuan set off.

Where was the ruins? Tian Lan Immortal had left an eye-shaped talisman in her scroll, but the description of the location wasn't very detailed; it was just a general area. However, that didn’t matter. Lin Xuan’s aura flared as he flew swiftly towards his destination.

The journey was smooth. Occasionally, he encountered ancient demons, and those with lower cultivation levels were ignored by him. They weren’t worth dealing with. But for those at the Yuan婴 level or above, Lin Xuan would casually send a sword energy to their demise.

After all, such ancient demons posed significant threats to cultivators. Although the overall situation was stable now, any help he could offer was appreciated.

Lin Xuan’s flight speed was incredibly fast. After about an hour, he arrived at his destination.

This place was a range of rugged mountains that stretched endlessly like a giant snake winding its way forward. It was extremely desolate here, and only faint traces of demonic energy could be felt.

It seemed the ancient demons were also uninterested in this area.

Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief. He had truly feared that the ancient demons might have discovered this place, which would have caused trouble. Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary; the ruins of the Mo Yue Clan should still be intact.

He flew deep into the mountains and released an extremely powerful divine sense to search for the location. Since he didn’t know the exact spot, it required thorough searching. This time, Lin Xuan’s flight was much slower, and he paid attention to every detail. After two hours, however, there were still no signs.

Lin Xuan wasn’t anxious; a bit of patience wouldn't hurt. As long as he knew the ruins were in these mountains, he would eventually find it.

Continuing his search, suddenly, Lin Xuan’s brows raised slightly, as if he had discovered something. A trace of joy flashed across his face before he flew to the left.

Soon enough, they arrived at their destination.

Lin Xuan landed on a small valley and looked around, examining his surroundings carefully.

"Not bad; it's about eight-tenths similar to what Tian Lan Immortal described in her eye-shaped talisman."

Lin Xuan muttered. Although not entirely identical, considering the million years that had passed, even with protective禁制, some changes were inevitable.

This must be the right place. Now, he needed to find the entrance to the ruins.

Lin Xuan’s gaze swept over the area and quickly found a strange array. It looked like a pile of random rocks; without Tian Lan Immortal's description, Lin Xuan would have failed to recognize it as a teleportation array.

The disguise was extremely clever, almost beyond belief.

Lin Xuan raised his hand and several first-grade crystal stones flew out. He flicked his fingers slightly, embedding them into some unnoticeable slots.

Then he cast a spell, but there was no reaction. Lin Xuan paused, looking somewhat displeased.

"This array... could it be broken?"

The ruins of the Mo Yue Clan were located in a small space that had been carved out. This array was the entrance to the ruins.

Lin Xuan checked several times and finally sighed slightly. The array did indeed have issues and couldn’t be repaired easily. The Mo Yue Clan's array techniques were unique, very different from what Lin Xuan had previously encountered, so he could do nothing about it.

If another cultivator faced this situation, they might be at a loss. However, Lin Xuan was different; he had already dabbled in spatial techniques to some extent. Although the problem was troublesome, there might still be a solution.

With his mind made up, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the spot, having traveled for so long, he felt somewhat fatigued. He needed to recover his energy first.

After half an hour, Lin Xuan opened his eyes, his silver light shining brightly as he released his divine sense to find the weakest point in this space.

This process was challenging, and Lin Xuan didn’t have much confidence, but it was worth a try. As long as there was any hope, he wouldn't give up.

Hard work paid off; finally, Lin Xuan discovered a weak spot in the void—a tiny area about the size of a fingernail that was extremely unstable, constantly collapsing and repairing itself, very hidden indeed. It explained why it took so much effort to find its traces.

Overjoyed, Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and an ancient-looking long spear appeared. Without hesitation, he poured his energy into it, creating a crescent-shaped light wave that struck the unstable area of the void.

Sizzle...

The space shattered visibly, revealing a half-foot-long spatial gap in front of him.

However, the crack began to heal itself quickly due to the self-repairing nature of space. Lin Xuan wasn’t about to stand idly by; he waved his sleeves and the Illusory Heavenly Fire appeared, its blue light more glaring than before.

"Quickly!"

Lin Xuan pointed his finger, and the flames turned a fierce green before turning icy cold. A one-foot-long dragon emerged from the spear and lunged towards the spatial gap.

The space around the gap twisted as it was torn apart by the coldness. It seemed to shatter further. Due to the effects of the coldness, the self-repairing process of the space almost stopped.

Lin Xuan was delighted and poured more energy into his long spear.

A larger crescent-shaped light blade appeared, and a sizzling sound echoed as the spatial crack finally became wide enough for one person to pass through.

Such results pleased Lin Xuan immensely. He flared with green light all over his body before flying inside.

However, he hadn’t even seen what was inside when five-colored spiritual lights suddenly overwhelmed him in an unexpected attack.

"Wait, five-colored spiritual lights?"

The situation changed quickly, but Lin Xuan’s reaction was always swift. He wouldn’t strike first unless provoked; if anyone dared to provoke him, Lin Xuan was prepared to retaliate. His right hand rose as he thought about what he saw. Five-colored spiritual lights—how familiar they were. Could it be...

Lin Xuan hesitated and stopped his actions at that moment. He had just exited the spatial rift and didn’t dare use Nine Heaven Microsteps rashly. Although the attack was fierce, it might not harm him. Lin Xuan’s mind changed, and he immediately activated the Nine Heaven Spirit Shield.
