第四卷 七星岛 第八百四十八章 回人界

It's often said that when you search for something with great effort, it turns out to be right under your nose. And indeed, Lin Xuan found some peculiarities in the memory of this demon wolf. Even though these were mentioned by the妖族 in their form, they weren't noted on the map.

He wasn’t sure if the map was incomplete or if the demon had intentionally omitted them. Regardless, he didn’t delve too deeply into the reasons; after all, the map had already brought him tangible benefits worth more than tens of thousands of crystal stones and rare materials. Lin Xuan felt quite satisfied with this.

According to their proximity, he began exploring these suspicious locations one by one. He had already visited a forest and a lake before.

To his surprise, he did find some traces of ancient cultivators in the forest and at the lake, but nothing else.

Looking at the small hill in front of him, Lin Xuan sighed. This wasn’t the last suspicious location; however, the remaining two were only about tens of miles from the eyesore’s lair. If the teleportation array was indeed there, it would be difficult to leave without being noticed.

Shaking his head, he put this aside for now and hoped that the gods would favor him enough for the array to be hidden in this hill.

With a deep breath, Lin Xuan released his divine sense, covering an area of over a hundred miles. He only found some low-grade demon tribes, but he was no longer careless after the last lesson. He scanned several times before opening his eyes slowly.

Reaching out, he summoned several array flags from his storage bracelet and pointed at one with a greenish-black array pattern. The flag transformed into a beam of light, slicing through the ground. A vast mountain peak was reduced to rubble in an instant.

But there was nothing. Lin Xuan’s face showed a hint of contemplation as he suddenly reached out and pulled from his waist a yellowish-brown talisman. Without any wind, it ignited and enveloped him in a pale yellow light.

He then moved to the spot where the mountain once stood, sinking into the ground at its center.

Though not particularly skilled with earth magic, Lin Xuan used an earth-transcending talisman for this purpose.

The darkness below was pitch-black. As a cultivator, he wasn’t affected by it; his main tool was his divine sense.

At first, there were no results. But Lin Xuan didn’t rush. He descended several hundred meters before a hard stone blocked his path. The earth-transcending technique couldn’t penetrate through it, and the stone seemed to contain iron ore.

Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he activated his Green Fire Sword. A sizzling sound echoed in his ears, and the deep black stone crumbled like tofu under his blade.

Suddenly, a wide opening appeared, revealing a milky white light. Lin Xuan couldn’t help but smile; it seemed he had found the right place. Without hesitation, he flew forward into a large cavern. After landing, he began to look around, examining the scene carefully.

The cavern was vast and elliptical in shape, with fist-sized night pearls embedded on its walls, emitting that milky white light.

But what caught Lin Xuan’s attention wasn’t these pearls; it was the teleportation array at the center of the cavern. The design was ancient, surrounded by five stone statues, each about human size.

Four males and one female, their forms lifelike, carved with divine craftsmanship.

"Master, could this be the Five Great Cultivators?" Moon’s voice echoed in his mind.

"It should be correct," Lin Xuan replied. "While I haven’t seen them myself, the descriptions in Tianxiu Immortal’s memory are quite similar to that of the former Xuanfeng Ancestor."

The statue on the left was a beautiful young girl, her appearance so exquisite it seemed almost alive despite being made of stone.

Lin Xuan’s heart raced as he remembered the final part of the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique. Without hesitation, he first paid his respects to the statues before walking toward the central teleportation array.

This place was so hidden that no one had ever ventured here for millions of years, ensuring its pristine condition. However, since it could break through space and time, it must be incredibly complex. Despite his deep study of the璇玑心得, Lin Xuan couldn’t decipher much now.

But he wasn’t discouraged; he would gradually learn more about arrays in the future. He scanned the array with his eyes, noticing a small groove where a crystal was supposed to be installed.

From his pocket, he took out a box and opened it to reveal a black stone the size of an egg. Dark magic energy emanated from it. This was an upper realm item, reputedly worth more than top-grade crystals.

Lin Xuan felt uneasy: could this infernal stone really activate the teleportation array?

He had no confidence in it. During his condensation process, he had used up a top-grade crystal to increase the temperature of the earth fire. Such treasures were rare and hard to find again on such a small island like妖灵岛.

With nothing left but desperation, Lin Xuan decided to give it a try. If this infernal stone failed, he didn’t know what to do next.

After securing the stone in place, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and began casting spells, emitting a dense demonic aura from his body...

Behind him, a colorful phoenix appeared as described in the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique.

Activating the array required only basic knowledge. Lin Xuan didn’t need to go through much trouble.

With a phoenix-like call echoing in his ears, the statue of the Xuanfeng Immortal’s eyes glowed with divine light. She raised her arms and began casting spells, creating a series of runes on the ground.

Lin Xuan felt no surprise; this was described at the end of the technique.

The material used for these statues wasn’t ordinary stone but rare soft jade, allowing them to move freely. The five demon cultivators each left part of their soul here, enabling them to sense descendants carrying on their legacy.

Xuanfeng Immortal looked at Lin Xuan and raised her arms like a butterfly, casting spells that created a series of runes in the air.

A whistling sound filled his ears as he felt some urgency. Could the array be activated?

As rune symbols began glowing on the ground, dark magic energy powered them, making the cave seem eerie.

Soon, several thick black snakes appeared and tore at the void... sizzling sounds echoed as space distorted around them. Lin Xuan’s expression became strange; this was different from what was described in the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique. Could it be due to using infernal stones?

Regardless, he didn’t care now. As the space distortion grew more intense, only tiny cracks appeared. This narrow gap wouldn’t allow him through.

Lin Xuan frowned and reached out with his left hand, pulling a long, ancient-looking halberd from his waist.

This was the spatial magic weapon.

He grasped it and poured all his magical energy into it. A layer of greenish-black light enveloped the halberd, with some silver threads mixed in.

It looked mysterious and ancient.

Lin Xuan swung the halberd fiercely downward...

As if tearing through fabric, a crescent-shaped blade appeared, slicing the distorted space.

Even with this top-grade treasure, Lin Xuan couldn’t break through the void. However, the area was already torn apart by the black snakes. This became the final straw.

The light expanded and contracted, breaking through the space.

A circular crack over ten feet wide appeared in his vision, revealing a dark abyss.

Lin Xuan’s face was a mix of worry and relief as he prepared to enter.

"Master, are you really going in?" Moon’s voice echoed with fear.

"I wouldn’t stay here," Lin Xuan said calmly. "I’ve finally opened this space rift; I don’t want to waste it."

With these words, he activated his Nine Heavens Divine Shield, which flew out and formed a red-blue light barrier before him. Then, he took out the Black Gold Dragon Armor.

After using several powerful treasures, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of light and entered the rift.
