第四卷 七星岛 第五百四十八章 开新地图

"Quickly."

Lin Xuan pointed his finger solemnly. The ball trembled a few times before transforming into five beams of different colors, which entered the array.

Wu.

The magical array began to shake slightly. Then, the vibrations grew more intense. The entire cave seemed to be experiencing minor earthquakes. Indeed, it worked. Lin Xuan felt very pleased as he shook his hands and activated the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring, causing it to spin rapidly around him, emitting a dazzling light.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath. His golden core began to rotate swiftly, releasing磅礴 (vast) amounts of灵力 (essence qi). This essence qi continuously poured into the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring.

This was the final step: using dual-attribute artifacts as triggers and utilizing the power of the array to open a spatial gap.

Lin Xuan's expression turned fierce. His magical energy flowed like a dam breaking, rushing out frantically. He felt as if he were being drained dry. However, his heart was filled with relief.

If it weren't for his accidental advancement into the Condensation Core stage, whether he could endure this would have been uncertain.

"Open."

Lin Xuan changed to an ancient hand gesture and split his hands apart.

A silver beam burst from the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring, dazzlingly bright as if shooting towards the sky.

At the same time, the magical array began to activate. A blue light flashed, followed by a red one. Two beams of light, each about the thickness of an arm, shot out, equally blinding.

The tremors grew more intense.

However, Lin Xuan paid no heed to these. He felt dizzy and disoriented, extremely uncomfortable.

"Trouble."

Lin Xuan inwardly called it bad. He knew this was a sign of his magical energy running low.

Seeing that the teleportation array had been fully activated and the spatial gap was almost complete, he gritted his teeth and spat out some essence blood—his life force.

That blood turned his face pale, but once it left his body, it was immediately absorbed by the light ball.

The bloodlight shone brightly, and the light ball transformed into a crescent moon about ten feet wide. The essence qi centered on this spread outward, crackling.

The blood-colored crescent moon fiercely slashed at the sky.

The cave ceiling was easily pierced through. Then, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, covering several miles in length and width. No lightning, but thunderous claps of thunder made people dizzy.

A narrow spatial gap appeared directly above Lin Xuan's head, right where his body was.

From within, a powerful suction force emanated, drawing in soil, sand, trees, and everything else.

With his current cultivation level, this suction wouldn't be too difficult to resist. But he wanted the effect of it. He smiled slightly as he flew into the gap with the suction force.

The teleportation had only a fifty percent chance of success. However, Yanzhou was no longer suitable for cultivation. Lin Xuan naturally decided to take his chances and venture elsewhere.

Not long after Lin Xuan was sucked in, the spatial gap flickered and vanished.

Unbeknownst to him, the warm jade array on the platform also cracked into several pieces.

Opening a spatial gap was a natural ability of this world. Although this array had been set up by spirit realm cultivators, there were usage limitations.

The strange weather phenomena nearby made nearby cultivation sects both happy and anxious, thinking some precious treasure might have appeared. They initiated a bloody conflict, only to end in disappointment.

After Lin Xuan left, things indeed became extremely turbulent in Yanzhou as expected. The strength of the阴魂 (Yin Souls) was even more astonishing than anticipated. Apart from the Four Ghost Emperors, several powerful experts emerged. With their overwhelming advantage, the human situation worsened further.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, the orthodox sects, demonic sects, and Spirit Herb Mountain completely put aside their grudges, consolidating their remaining forces to fight together against the enemy.

This halted the decline, but it was merely a stalemate. Any side would find it difficult to win. This great calamity might not be resolved for another one or two hundred years.

Of course, all this had little to do with Lin Xuan.

This teleportation was also risky. Fortunately, his luck held out. Although he suffered greatly in the spatial gap, he managed to escape unscathed.

He felt dizzy and disoriented. At such a low cultivation level, even without being thrown into chaotic space currents, a lower-level cultivator would likely have their soul scattered.

Lin Xuan was secretly relieved as he opened his eyes and looked around.

The view was nothing but lush greenery. The plants were thriving, making it seem like he was in the midst of a verdant mountain. If not for the stark difference between these plants and those back home, Lin Xuan would have doubted whether the teleportation had failed.

Relieved, Lin Xuan tried to release his divine sense, but found that it couldn't leave his body. He paused, then smiled slightly, showing a hint of depression.

To activate the array, he had already expended most of his essence qi. In the spatial gap, to resist the pressure, he was forced to use secret techniques from the True Scripture of Xuan Mo.

Now extremely weak, even a cultivator at his level could easily kill him. A cultivator at the lowest stage, the灵动期 (Vitality Stage), would be able to as well.

After assessing his condition, Lin Xuan's expression darkened. For some reason, Moonling was also in the same state of weakness.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been afraid. But now, it was very worrying.

Fortunately, although his divine sense couldn't leave his body, he could still feel that there was no essence qi nearby. This place wasn't a suitable location for cultivation.

In other words, he wouldn't run into cultivators or monsters here.

With this in mind, Lin Xuan relaxed. Although he had expended much energy, he should be able to recover fully within seven or eight days. Just two hours of meditation would restore some self-defense abilities.

There was no time to waste. Lin Xuan tapped his storage bag and took out several bottles and jars.

He uncorked the bottles and poured various medicines into his mouth, chewing and swallowing them quickly. Soon, the effects spread through his body, a warmth appearing in his dantian (energy sea).

Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and formed hand seals with both hands. The previously dry dantian began to emit faint essence qi again.

It was noon. Lin Xuan shook off his clothes and stood up.

Although he still felt weak, his complexion had improved significantly. However, it would take seven or eight days for him to fully recover.

Though this wasn't a place with an essence vein, there might be cultivators passing through by chance. Given Lin Xuan's cautious nature, he didn't want to meditate in the open air—too risky.

Since his magical energy had recovered somewhat, Lin Xuan brushed his sleeves and put all the bottles and jars back into his storage bag. He then transformed into a streak of light and flew deep into the mountains. He needed to find an appropriate spot to establish a temporary cave dwelling for recovery.

PS: Phew. Finally opened a new chapter. This volume will be even more exciting!
