第三千零八十四章 回到灵界

"Venerable Guest Scholar?"

The two exchanged a look, their expressions a mix of joy and concern.

Stone Fairy was quicker to react. She bowed gracefully: "Since Senior has given such instructions, I shall comply."

"Youthful disciple will also follow Senior's arrangements."

The well-dressed man was slower in his response, hurriedly bowing with both hands clasped together.

"Very good. If that is the case, let this matter be settled. Daoist friend Xu, please check if there are any errors in this array. If everything is fine, we can leave this lost realm shortly."

"Yes, Youthful disciple will certainly do his utmost."

The well-dressed man spoke with respect. Although he had checked the array multiple times after its completion, he felt no reason to doubt Senior Lin's instructions. As they say, better safe than sorry. This time, it was crucial to rely on this array to open a portal between realms; being cautious would ensure their safety.

Now that he too needed to leave the lost realm, both emotionally and logically, he would naturally be more diligent.

With that said, Lin Xuan's figure flashed away, leaving in a streak of light.

"Stone Fairy, why didn't you consult me beforehand for such an arrangement?"

Once Lin Xuan was out of sight, the well-dressed man turned his head. His face showed signs of anger: "We've known each other for over a thousand years. You made this decision without even consulting me, completely leaving me in the dark."

"Little sister miscalculated. Please forgive Brother Xu's minor transgression; I will make it up to you," said Stone Fairy with a bow.

"You...!"

Such an admission of fault left the well-dressed man speechless.

As they say, one does not strike a smiling face. With apologies given and no mortal grudge, what could he do?

Originally, the well-dressed man had planned to rebuke him sternly, but now he was at a loss for words.

He scratched his head, looking bewildered and embarrassed.

"Very well, let this matter slide for now. But in the future, you must consult me before making such decisions."

"Youthful Brother Xu, this is just one time; it won't happen again. Following Senior Lin's instructions, we may have a fellow sect member relationship in the future. Little sister will not act rashly," said Stone Fairy with a light laugh.

"Thank you for understanding that point. Senior Lin is a generous person. Even though we cannot be his disciples, as long as we work diligently, he won't hesitate to reward us. With an elder of the Transcendence Stage guiding our cultivation, the benefits are clear. We must support each other in the future," said the well-dressed man satisfied.

"Very good. Let's get back to preparing for this."

Before they could continue their discussion, Lin Xuan instructed: "Let us check the Small Momentary Array one more time as Senior told us. We cannot afford any negligence; I don't want anything to go wrong during transmission."

"Youthful Brother Xu, there is no need for you to worry. The array I set up has been thoroughly checked and will not have any omissions," said the well-dressed man confidently.

"Of course, but it's better to be cautious. Besides, Senior has given his instructions; ignoring them would be inappropriate!" Stone Fairy replied thoughtfully.

"Youthful Brother Xu, how could you say such a thing? Since Senior gave us these instructions, I couldn't possibly ignore them. I only said that my array won't have any errors, but not that I will slack off and skip the check," said the well-dressed man with a nervous laugh as he sent out his spirit sense.

Seeing their master checking the array, several disciples did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly joined in to help.

Three days passed quickly.

"Are all preparations complete?"

"We have thoroughly checked the array, Senior. There will be no errors," said the well-dressed man respectfully.

"Very good."

Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction as he waved his sleeves, emitting a flash of light. Dozens of green beams shot out.

The present cultivators were surprised. As the green beams approached them, they instinctively reached out to grab them.

"This light..."

Stone Fairy spread her hand, revealing a talisman about the size of her palm. The emerald-green light flowed over it, and numerous intricate inscriptions could be seen, making it seem extraordinary.

"This is a protective amulet."

"Protective amulet?"

"Yes, this time we are returning to the Spirit Realm. The realm's power is formidable; with your current cultivation, you might lose your soul or spirit if not careful. These amulets are treasures I collected. With their help, you should be safe," said Lin Xuan.

"Youthful Brother Xu, thank you!" Lu Ying'er and Hong Ling did not need to say much more. Stone Fairy and the well-dressed man, along with their disciples, all showed gratitude.

The value of these amulets was clear even without Lin Xuan's explicit mention. An elder of the Transcendence Stage had a vast fortune, but he would never have been so considerate for others.

Stone Fairy and the well-dressed man exchanged glances, feeling that their choice was correct. Following this generous Senior Lin would surely be more beneficial than harmful.

Lin Xuan's face showed solemnity as he recited difficult incantations. He waved his sleeves again, emitting another flash of light.

After a moment, the light condensed into a small round pearl about the size of an eyeball.

"Boundary-Breaking Pearl!"

To leave this lost realm, just the Small Momentary Array was not enough; they needed to use the Boundary-Breaking Pearl. Lin Xuan now revealed it.

He then raised his hands and drew strange trajectories in mid-air. Extending his index finger quickly, he pointed forward.

"Break!"

Before anyone could react, the massive hundred-foot-tall symbol shattered without warning.

Then, countless tiny symbols like grains of rice were sucked into the Boundary-Breaking Pearl as if a whale was drinking water.

Lin Xuan was elated and punched forward silently. The power of this punch was indescribable.

The Boundary-Breaking Pearl flashed and fragmented. Suddenly, ripples appeared in space, forming a vortex about ten feet wide.

Invisible but deep, it emitted an immense suction force that pulled everyone nearby into its depths, including Lin Xuan himself.
