第五百六十四章修复之阵
Chapter 564: Repairing Array
lín xuān zài guǎng chǎng shàng miàn lù gǎn kǎi zhī sè de shí hòu jiàn yōu gōng yī xíng rén bīng shān zhī zhōng 。
林轩在广场上面露感慨之色的时候剑幽宫一行人冰山之中。
Lin Xuan, who was standing on the square with a contemplative expression, found himself in the Ice Mountain along with the rest of Sword Obscure Palace's group.
“ hǎo guǐ yì de yīn yáng guài fēng 。” hóng yī nǚ zǐ yī biān shuō ， yī biān cāo zòng fǎ bǎo ， jiāng yíng miàn ér lái de yī zhī xiǎo shòu pǐ chéng le liǎng bàn 。
“好诡异的阴阳怪风。”红衣女子一边说，一边操纵法宝，将迎面而来的一只小兽劈成了两半。
"Such an eerie Yin-Yang wind," said the red-robed woman as she manipulated her treasure to split a small beast into two halves.
“ zhè dì fāng shì yǒu xiē xī qí 。” gěng xìng nán zi de liǎng zhǐ méi máo jǐn jǐn zhòu zài le yì qǐ ， shuō zhe xiàng shēn qián de yīn yáng bǎo chǐ yì diǎn zhǐ ， cǐ bǎo yī chàn zhī xià ， huàn huà chū wàn qiān chǐ yǐng ， jiāng shēn biān de jǐ zhī biān fú yuǎn yuǎn de jī fēi le chū qù 。
“这地方是有些稀奇。”耿姓男子的两只眉毛紧紧皱在了一起，说着向身前的阴阳宝尺一点指，此宝一颤之下，幻化出万千尺影，将身边的几只蝙蝠远远的击飞了出去。
"This place is indeed peculiar." The man named Geng frowned deeply. He pointed his finger at a pair of阴阳宝尺, causing it to vibrate and transform into countless shadowy images that sent away several nearby bats.
zhì yú nà kǔ dà shī ， yě zhī dào shǐ yòng le shén me guǐ yì gōng fǎ ， hún shēn bāo guǒ zài yī tuán huī bái sè de guǐ qì lǐ miàn ， nà xiē yě shòu jìng rán bù gǎn kào jìn tā shēn zhōu sān chǐ 。
至于那苦大师，也知道使用了什么诡异功法，浑身包裹在一团灰白色的鬼气里面，那些野兽竟然不敢靠近他身周三尺。
Master Kǔ knew what kind of strange technique was being used; he was enveloped in a grayish-white ghostly aura, and the beasts didn't dare approach within three feet of him.
zhè sān rén gù rán wú shì ， rán ér què kǔ le nà xiē zhù jī qī de xiū shì ， yī biān fēn chū dà bàn de líng lì dǐ dǎng guài fēng de qīn xí ， lìng wài hái dé xiǎo xīn bù zhī dào cóng nǎ lǐ mào chū lái de yě shòu xí jī 。
这三人固然无事，然而却苦了那些筑基期的修士，一边分出大半的灵力抵挡怪风的侵袭，另外还得小心不知道从哪里冒出来的野兽袭击。
While these three were unharmed, the lower-grade cultivators found it difficult. They had to split their essence energy between defending against the eerie wind and watching out for unexpected attacks from wild beasts.
shāo bù liú shén ， jiù yǒu néng diū le xìng mìng 。
稍不留神，就有能丢了性命。
A moment's carelessness could mean death.
zhè yī lù zǒu lái ， yǐ yǒu liǎng rén sǐ fēi mìng 。
这一路走来，已有两人死非命。
Two cultivators had already lost their lives on this journey.
“ kǔ dà shī ， zhè xiē zi fǎ lì dī wēi ， hái shì jiù ràng tā men zài shàng miàn děng 。” hóng yī nǚ zǐ kāi kǒu jiàn yì ， tā dào bú shì tǐ xù xià shǔ ， ér shì dài zhe zhè xiē dī jiē xiū shì zhe shí huì tuō yán tā men qián jìn de sù dù 。
“苦大师，这些子法力低微，还是就让他们在上面等。”红衣女子开口建议，她倒不是体恤下属，而是带着这些低阶修士着实会拖延他们前进的速度。
"Master Kǔ, these disciples have low power levels; let them wait above," suggested the red-robed woman. She wasn't being compassionate but was concerned about the delay caused by these lower-grade cultivators.
“ yě hǎo 。” kǔ dà shī suī rán cán bào ， dào yě bú shì wán quán bù jiǎng dào lǐ 。
“也好。”苦大师虽然残暴，倒也不是完全不讲道理。
"It makes sense." Although Master Kǔ was brutal, he wasn't completely unreasonable.
zhòng xiū shì dà xǐ 。 jì xù qián jìn qù 。 kǒng pà méi děng zhǎo dào pàn tú 。 tā men jiù yǐ hè jià guī xī 。
众修士大喜。继续前进去。恐怕没等找到叛徒。他们就已鹤驾归西。
The other cultivators were delighted and continued on their journey. They might not find the traitor before returning to Sword Obscure Palace.
“ tīng jiàn le ma 。 nǐ men huí qù shàng miàn děng 。 yě bú yào gàn zhàn zhe 。 jiāng zhěng gè dǎo yǔ sōu suǒ yī biàn 。 kàn néng fǒu yǒu shén me fā xiàn 。” hóng yī nǚ zǐ huí guò tóu 。 rú cǐ zhè bān dì fēn fù 。
“听见了吗。你们回去上面等。也不要干站着。将整个岛屿搜索一遍。看能否有什么发现。”红衣女子回过头。如此这般地吩咐。
Master Kǔ felt satisfied as his eyes narrowed into a thin line. However, just as he was about to bask in his success, something strange happened before his eyes.
“ shì ！”
“是！”
A blue light of about a foot long appeared on the surface of the ice wall, and then the corroded parts began to repair themselves.
gōng jìng dì xíng le yī lǐ 。 zhù jī qī xiū shì men tóu xiàng bīng shān kǒu fēi qù 。
恭敬地行了一礼。筑基期修士们头向冰山口飞去。
"What…?"
“ hǎo le 。 jì rán zhǐ yǒu wǒ men sān rén 。 nà jiù yào jiā kuài jìn dù 。” kǔ dà shī shuō wán 。 xiù páo yī fú 。 dà piàn dì huī bái guǐ qì pēn yǒng ér chū 。 jiāng hóng yī nǚ zǐ hé gěng biāo bāo guǒ 。
“好了。既然只有我们三人。那就要加快进度。”苦大师说完。袖袍一拂。大片地灰白鬼气喷涌而出。将红衣女子和耿彪包裹。
The Geng man's eyes nearly popped out; this old monster had once been a Buddhist but turned into a demon, with unpredictable powers. Despite being only at the early stage of an infant, he was still highly renowned among his peers.
liǎng rén chī le yī jīng gēn běn bù jí fǎn yìng 。 hǎo zài bìng méi yǒu gǎn dào bù shì 。 zhè cái fàng xīn 。
两人吃了一惊根本不及反应。好在并没有感到不适。这才放心。
Especially that grayish-white ghostly aura, which even the palace master had praised once. How could it not break through this barrier?
zuì hòu sān tuán guǐ qì hé ér wéi yī ， huà wèi yī dào jù dà de huī bái sè dùn guāng ， xiàng xià fēi qù 。
最后三团鬼气合而为一，化为一道巨大的灰白色遁光，向下飞去。
Master Kǔ's face darkened as he used brute force to break through the barrier. Meanwhile, Lin Xuan had already passed the square and was heading towards the core of Jade Profound Sect.
“ yí ？”
“咦？”
Standing before a small hill, Lin Xuan’s expression was thoughtful. He extended his right hand and gently pinched something, seemingly calculating something.
bù xiāo piàn kè ， jiù dào le bīng shān de gǔ dǐ ， kàn zhe shēn qián nà dǔ hòu shí ér měi lì de shuǐ jīng zhī bì ， hóng yī nǚ zǐ yǔ gěng biāo bú yòng shuō shì kǔ dà shī zhè wèi yuán yīng qī de lǎo guài wù ， yě miàn lù jīng yí zhī sè 。
不消片刻，就到了冰山的谷底，看着身前那堵厚实而美丽的水晶之壁，红衣女子与耿彪不用说是苦大师这位元婴期的老怪物，也面露惊疑之色。
"Master, what's wrong?" Mo'er looked puzzled.
“ zhè shì shén me ？” hóng yī nǚ zǐ shēn chū shǒu ， mō le mō bīng bì ， shí fēn jiān yìng de yàng zi 。
“这是什么？”红衣女子伸出手，摸了摸冰壁，十分坚硬的样子。
"Silly girl, can't you be more careful as a girl?" Lin Xuan turned to her with an annoyed look. She was smart, charming, and had excellent cultivation potential, but she was too careless about everything and didn’t like using her brain when faced with problems.
lüè yī chí yí ， jiāng tā nà bǐng hóng sè de duǎn jiàn fǎ bǎo jì qǐ yī dào jīng hóng ， hěn hěn de xiàng zhe bīng bì zhǎn qù 。
略一迟疑，将她那柄红色的短剑法宝祭起一道惊虹，狠狠的向着冰壁斩去。
However, he couldn’t help but like how she relied on him. After grumbling, he patiently explained.
lì máng yī shǎn ， hóng yī nǚ zǐ bó rán sè biàn bì shàng miàn jǐn liú xià yī dào qiǎn qiǎn de hén jì ， suí jí yòu zì wǒ fù yuán 。
厉芒一闪，红衣女子勃然色变壁上面仅留下一道浅浅的痕迹，随即又自我复原。
"There's a barrier here."
“ yǒu diǎn yì si ！”
“有点意思！”
"Barrier?"
kǔ dà shī de liǎn shàng lù chū lěng xiào zhī sè ， yǎn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu jīng máng shǎn guò ， shēn chū kū zhǎo bān de yòu shǒu me xū kōng yī àn ， yī dào ér bì cū de huī bái sè guāng zhù ， cóng tā zhǎng xīn jī shè ér chū 。
苦大师的脸上露出冷笑之色，眼中隐隐有精芒闪过，伸出枯爪般的右手么虚空一按，一道儿臂粗的灰白色光柱，从他掌心激射而出。
"Yes, if I'm correct, it should be Jade Profound Sect’s protective array," Lin Xuan said.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
In the cultivation world, all sects, regardless of their size or strength, would set up a protective array at their main gate. Even those who followed the principle of seclusion couldn’t avoid this.
guāng zhù dài zhe jīng rén de líng yā ， bīng bì yī zhèn qīng chàn ， suí hòu kāi shǐ róng huà 。
光柱带着惊人的灵压，冰壁一阵轻颤，随后开始融化。
Mo'er's expression turned grim. The sect had managed to create a spatial realm as an escape, indicating its formidable power. Could she and Lin Xuan break through this protective barrier?
“ hē hē ， guǒ rán hái shì zhǎng lǎo lì hài 。”
“呵呵，果然还是长老厉害。”
Deciding to test it, Mo'er extended her hand, and dark energy surged. A black little flag appeared in her palm.
“ dāng rán qū qū jìn zhì ， nǎ lǐ nán dé zhù kǔ dà shī 。”
“当然区区禁制，哪里难得住苦大师。”
She shook the flag, and a vortex appeared on it, revealing a monstrous creature covered in flames.
liǎng wèi níng dān qī xiū shì lián máng pāi qǐ le mǎ pì huān tīng hǎo huà shì yǎn qián lǎo guài wù de ài hào zhī yī 。
两位凝丹期修士连忙拍起了马屁欢听好话是眼前老怪物的爱好之一。
"Roar!"
kǔ dà shī zhì dé yì mǎn ， yǎn jīng mī chéng le yī tiáo xiàn rán ér hái wèi děng tā dé yì wán ， yǎn qián de jǐng xiàng tū rán fā shēng le yì biàn 。
苦大师志得意满，眼睛眯成了一条线然而还未等他得意完，眼前的景象突然发生了异变。
The monster looked fierce but Mo'er seemed to be treating it like a pet. The myriad souls within the flag were under her control.
nà bīng bì de biǎo miàn qǐ le yī céng chǐ xǔ zhǎng de lán guāng ， suí jí ， yǐ jīng bèi fǔ shí de bù fèn yòu kāi shǐ fù yuán 。
那冰壁的表面起了一层尺许长的蓝光，随即，已经被腐蚀的部分又开始复原。
"Go!" she said.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Mo'er pointed at the small hill with her hand. The monster roared and charged towards it, only to be caught by whirlwinds that appeared out of nowhere. Its soul was torn apart before Mo'er's eyes.
gěng xìng nán zi yǎn jīng dōu yào tū chū le ， zhè lǎo guài wù nǎi shì yóu fú rù mó zhě ， yī shēn shén tōng guǐ yì nán cè ， suī shì yuán yīng chū qī ， dàn zài tóng jiē xiū shì zhōng què hǎo dà de míng qì 。
耿姓男子眼睛都要凸出了，这老怪物乃是由佛入魔者，一身神通诡异难测，虽是元婴初期，但在同阶修士中却好大的名气。
The remnants of its soul dissipated into the air as the whirlwinds calmed down.
yóu qí tā zhè huī bái guǐ qì ， tīng shuō biàn shì gōng zhǔ ， yě céng jīng zàn xǔ guò yī cì ， jū rán pò bù liǎo yǎn qián de jìn zhì ？
尤其他这灰白鬼气，听说便是宫主，也曾经赞许过一次，居然破不了眼前的禁制？
Mo'er stared in shock, a hint of fear crossing her face. However, Lin Xuan’s eyebrows twitched with excitement.
zài liǎng gè hòu bèi miàn qián diū liǎn ， kǔ dà shī liǎn sè nán kàn wú bǐ ， hún shēn sàn fà chū bīng hán yǐ jí de lì qì ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī jiàn fǎ bǎo fēi lüè ér chū 。
在两个后辈面前丢脸，苦大师脸色难看无比，浑身散发出冰寒以极的戾气，袖袍一拂，一件法宝飞掠而出。
"Master, what did you find?"
cǐ bǎo de xíng zhuàng yǒu xiē qí tè ， cū yī kàn jìng xiàng shì shén me dòng wù de dà tuǐ gǔ 。
此宝的形状有些奇特，粗一看竟像是什么动物的大腿骨。
At first, Mo'er was disappointed but seeing Lin Xuan's expression, she became excited.
rán ér què yòu tài guò jù dà le xiē ， cháng zú yǒu zhàng xǔ 。
然而却又太过巨大了些，长足有丈许。
"Yes, there is something, though not clearly. Try again, Mo'er."
gèng jiā guǐ yì de shì ， cǐ bǎo de biǎo miàn ， chán rào zhe yī xiē xū yǐng ， bìng fā chū qī lì de guǐ kū zhī shēng 。
更加诡异的是，此宝的表面，缠绕着一些虚影，并发出凄厉的鬼哭之声。
"Okay!"
yuān hún ！
冤魂！
Mo'er nodded obediently and waved the flag again. This time, a thick snake emerged and charged into the barrier. Whirlwinds appeared once more as Lin Xuan released his divine sense to monitor the southeast corner.
liǎng míng níng dān qī xiū shì jī líng líng de dǎ le gè lěng zhàn ， duì shì yī yǎn ， dōu kàn dào le duì fāng liǎn sè de cāng bái ， cǐ bǎo kě shì dà dà yǒu míng ， nǎi shì lìng rén wén fēng sàng dǎn de yī jiàn guǐ qì 。
两名凝丹期修士激灵灵的打了个冷战，对视一眼，都看到了对方脸色的苍白，此宝可是大大有名，乃是令人闻风丧胆的一件鬼器。
Sure enough, there was a flash of light.
yuān hún rén gǔ bàng ！
冤魂人骨棒！
The snake's soul was torn apart again.
gù míng sī yì ， cǐ bǎo zhēn de shì yòng sǐ rén shī gǔ liàn huà ér chéng ， bìng jiāng men de hún pò yě jū jìn qí shàng ， zài jīng guò lǎo mó yīng huǒ bǎi yú nián de péi yǎng ， wēi lì zhī qiáng ， bié shuō duì dí ， shí lì shāo ruò diǎn de zhān zhī lì bì 。
顾名思义，此宝真的是用死人尸骨炼化而成，并将们的魂魄也拘禁其上，再经过老魔婴火百余年的培养，威力之强，别说对敌，实力稍弱点的沾之立毙。
"Master, did you find anything this time?"
“ qù ！”
“去！”
"Yes, if I'm correct, we've found the core of this array."
kǔ dà shī zhāng kāi kǒu ， yī dào huī bái guǐ qì pēn tǔ ér chū ， yuān hún rén gǔ bàng xī shōu yǐ hòu ， shàng miàn de guǐ xiào biàn dé yuè fā qī lì 。
苦大师张开口，一道灰白鬼气喷吐而出，冤魂人骨棒吸收以后，上面的鬼啸变得越发凄厉。
"Really?" Mo'er’s face showed some hesitation. She had just said that Jade Profound Sect was formidable and wouldn't be so easily penetrated. Could she have made a mistake?
hěn hěn de xiàng zhe bīng bì chuō le xià qù ……
狠狠的向着冰壁戳了下去……
"Master, are you sure?"
lǎo guài wù kě méi yǒu lín xuān nà yàng yuān bó de zhèn fǎ zhī shí ， zhǐ néng yòng mán lì pò chú yǎn qián de jìn zhì ， ér zhè shí ， lín xuān yǐ jīng zǒu guò le guǎng chǎng ， xiàng zhe yù xuán zōng de fù dì ér qù 。
老怪物可没有林轩那样渊博的阵法知识，只能用蛮力破除眼前的禁制，而这时，林轩已经走过了广场，向着玉玄宗的腹地而去。
Lin Xuan nodded with confidence.
cǐ shí ， tā zhàn zài yī zuò xiǎo shān de miàn qián ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ruò yǒu suǒ sī ， yòu shǒu shēn chū ， shǒu zhǐ qīng qīng de niān zhe ， jiù xiàng zài qiā suàn shén me
此时，他站在一座小山的面前，脸上的表情若有所思，右手伸出，手指轻轻的拈着，就像在掐算什么
"I’m about 70% certain; it should be a repairing array."
“ shào yé ， zěn me le ？” yuè ér de biǎo qíng yǒu xiē mí huò 。
“少爷，怎么了？”月儿的表情有些迷惑。
A repairing array, as its name suggests, has the ability to self-repair. Even if broken once, as long as not all components were destroyed, such as seven out of ten array flags being damaged, the array would break at that moment. However, over time, the remaining three flags would naturally form a new array.
“ shǎ yā tou ， shēn wèi nǚ hái zi ， jiù bù néng xì xīn yì diǎn me ？” lín xuān huí guò tóu ， méi hǎo qì de dèng le tā yī yǎn ， zhè yā tou shén me dōu hǎo ， cōng míng líng lì ， tǎo rén huān xǐ ， xiū xiān de zī zhì gèng shì yī děng yī ， wéi yǒu yī tiáo ， gàn shén me shì qíng dōu tài cū xīn le ， ér qiě yù shì yě bù xǐ huān dòng nǎo ， zǒng shì wèn zì jǐ 。
“傻丫头，身为女孩子，就不能细心一点么？”林轩回过头，没好气的瞪了她一眼，这丫头什么都好，聪明伶俐，讨人欢喜，修仙的资质更是一等一，唯有一条，干什么事情都太粗心了，而且遇事也不喜欢动脑，总是问自己。
If it was broken again and one flag was destroyed, the other two would gradually…
bù guò huà fēn liǎng tóu ， rén wú wán rén ， shuí shēn shàng dōu yǒu quē diǎn ， ér qiě lín xuān zuǐ bā shàng suī zài xùn chì ， qí shí xīn lǐ què pǒ xǐ huān bèi zhè yā tou yī lài de gǎn jué 。
不过话分两头，人无完人，谁身上都有缺点，而且林轩嘴巴上虽在训斥，其实心里却颇喜欢被这丫头依赖的感觉。
This type of array had long been lost to history, with only a brief mention in Xuan Ji’s heart. But after careful observation, Lin Xuan felt confident in his judgment.
suǒ yǐ hēng le yī shēng zhī hòu ， hái shì nài xīn de xiàng tā jiě shì 。
所以哼了一声之后，还是耐心的像她解释。
Without further ado, he wanted to get inside.
“ zhè ér yǒu yí gè jìn zhì 。”
“这儿有一个禁制。”
A faint green light appeared as Nine Heaven Spirit Shield activated. He opened his mouth and two silver beams shot out, swirling around him like colorful ribbons.
“ jìn zhì ？”
“禁制？”
Lin Xuan continuously changed hand gestures, sending several different spells into the array. The silver ring trembled, and two distinct streams of essence energy rose up.
“ ń ， rú guǒ méi yǒu cāi de huà ， yīng gāi shì yù xuán zōng de hù pài dà zhèn 。”
“嗯，如果没有猜的话，应该是玉玄宗的护派大阵。”
One was extremely hot, while the other was icy cold. The Nine Heaven Moon Ring was a dual-attribute treasure. A strange protective layer appeared around him, changing color between red and blue, looking both beautiful and eerie.
zài xiū xiān jiè ， suǒ yǒu de zōng pài jiā ， bù lùn dà xiǎo qiáng ruò ， dū huì zài zǒng tán shān mén shè xià yī zuò fáng hù fǎ zhèn ， jí shǐ shì zhè zhǒng zūn xún bì shì fǎ zé de mén pài yě bù néng miǎn sú 。
在修仙界，所有的宗派家，不论大小强弱，都会在总坛山门设下一座防护法阵，即使是这种遵循避世法则的门派也不能免俗。
This wasn’t over yet. Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and the ancient shield flew out, spinning above his head.
yuè ér tīng le ， biǎo bù yóu de yǒu xiē nán kàn ， cǐ pài néng gòu kāi pì yī zuò ** de kōng jiān zuò wéi bì zhī suǒ ， shí lì shì kě xiǎng ér zhī de ， hù pài dà zhèn ， zì jǐ hé shào yé kě fǒu yǒu shí lì chuǎng guò ？
月儿听了，表不由得有些难看，此派能够开辟一座**的空间作为避之所，实力是可想而知的，护派大阵，自己和少爷可否有实力闯过？
"Master, be careful."
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， yuè ér jué dìng shì yī shì 。
想到这里，月儿决定试一试。
Lin Xuan nodded. Since he had decided to do this, there was no point in hesitating. He stepped forward without hesitation.
yù shǒu shēn chū ， mó qì fān yǒng ， yī bǐng qī hēi rú de xiǎo fān chū xiàn zài le tā de zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
玉手伸出，魔气翻涌，一柄漆黑如的小幡出现在了她的掌心之中。
The sensation inside was different from what he saw outside. Lin Xuan felt the surroundings become viscous and then several whirlwinds appeared, sweeping towards him.
qīng qīng yī yáo ， fān qí shàng miàn dùn duō chū le yí gè xuán wō ， yī tóu hún shēn mào huǒ de guài shòu cóng lǐ miàn mào le chū lái 。
轻轻一摇，幡旗上面顿多出了一个漩涡，一头浑身冒火的怪兽从里面冒了出来。
Lin Xuan’s expression remained calm as he shot out a few sword energies with his hand.
Chapter 564: Repairing Array
Lin Xuan, who was standing on the square with a contemplative expression, found himself in the Ice Mountain along with the rest of Sword Obscure Palace's group.
"Such an eerie Yin-Yang wind," said the red-robed woman as she manipulated her treasure to split a small beast into two halves.
"This place is indeed peculiar." The man named Geng frowned deeply. He pointed his finger at a pair of阴阳宝尺, causing it to vibrate and transform into countless shadowy images that sent away several nearby bats.
Master Kǔ knew what kind of strange technique was being used; he was enveloped in a grayish-white ghostly aura, and the beasts didn't dare approach within three feet of him.
While these three were unharmed, the lower-grade cultivators found it difficult. They had to split their essence energy between defending against the eerie wind and watching out for unexpected attacks from wild beasts.
A moment's carelessness could mean death.
Two cultivators had already lost their lives on this journey.
"Master Kǔ, these disciples have low power levels; let them wait above," suggested the red-robed woman. She wasn't being compassionate but was concerned about the delay caused by these lower-grade cultivators.
"It makes sense." Although Master Kǔ was brutal, he wasn't completely unreasonable.
The other cultivators were delighted and continued on their journey. They might not find the traitor before returning to Sword Obscure Palace.
Master Kǔ felt satisfied as his eyes narrowed into a thin line. However, just as he was about to bask in his success, something strange happened before his eyes.

Standing before a small hill, Lin Xuan’s expression was thoughtful. He extended his right hand and gently pinched something, seemingly calculating something.
"Master, what's wrong?" Mo'er looked puzzled.
"Silly girl, can't you be more careful as a girl?" Lin Xuan turned to her with an annoyed look. She was smart, charming, and had excellent cultivation potential, but she was too careless about everything and didn’t like using her brain when faced with problems.
However, he couldn’t help but like how she relied on him. After grumbling, he patiently explained.
"There's a barrier here."
"Barrier?"
"Yes, if I'm correct, it should be Jade Profound Sect’s protective array," Lin Xuan said.
In the cultivation world, all sects, regardless of their size or strength, would set up a protective array at their main gate. Even those who followed the principle of seclusion couldn’t avoid this.

A faint green light appeared as Nine Heaven Spirit Shield activated. He opened his mouth and two silver beams shot out, swirling around him like colorful ribbons.
Lin Xuan continuously changed hand gestures, sending several different spells into the array. The silver ring trembled, and two distinct streams of essence energy rose up.
One was extremely hot, while the other was icy cold. The Nine Heaven Moon Ring was a dual-attribute treasure. A strange protective layer appeared around him, changing color between red and blue, looking both beautiful and eerie.
This wasn’t over yet. Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and the ancient shield flew out, spinning above his head.
"Master, be careful."
Lin Xuan nodded. Since he had decided to do this, there was no point in hesitating. He stepped forward without hesitation.
The sensation inside was different from what he saw outside. Lin Xuan felt the surroundings become viscous and then several whirlwinds appeared, sweeping towards him.
Lin Xuan’s expression remained calm as he shot out a few sword energies with his hand.
