第三百七十六章 天玄暗匿秘

When Chief Lu and his group disappeared from everyone's sight, the cultivators present were extremely excited.

They communicated telepathically.

"Who would have thought a high-ranking figure would come! It turns out it’s Chief Lu!"

"Brother, forgive me for my ignorance. Who is this Chief Lu?"

"Not to mention that, brother. Which state are you from? You don’t even know the name of our Strategy Hall's top array mage?"

"With Chief Lu’s ability to merge with Dao, he could sweep through the entire Spirit Transformation Ravine in a single thought. Why would he need to inspect each place separately?"

"You don’t understand; appearances must be made. If she just walks by without looking at anything, wouldn’t that look...?"

"Brother, be careful!"

...

Li Fan did not join in this lively discussion.

Instead, he went about his business, conducting array unit tests with a casual demeanor.

He could faintly sense an immense divine consciousness sweeping over the Spirit Transformation Ravine repeatedly.

"They know they need to make a show, but still dare to discuss it telepathically under everyone’s nose. They really think divine consciousness transmission is absolutely safe."

Li Fan shook his head inwardly.

With his mind focused on his nose and his nose on his heart, he refused to participate in such risky behavior.

After the initial excitement, an order brought everyone groaning.

Chief Lu would leave two days later.

Before that, they needed to work harder to complete the entire construction of the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array.

Although the original progress was nearly complete, compressing it into just two days meant a significant increase in workload.

This order came directly from Eastern Yao and was phrased with extreme severity. Everyone knew Chief Lu was present and dared not complain.

They worked tirelessly.

For Li Fan, it was merely working non-stop without rest—nothing out of the ordinary.

His expression remained unchanged, showing no signs of fatigue or stress.

To prevent mistakes due to overwork, Huangfu Song and Eastern Yao would occasionally appear to check progress.

Landscaler Chen didn’t reappear after that day. No one knew what she was doing.

But Li Fan felt that immense divine consciousness covering the Spirit Transformation Ravine had never left.

So he worked diligently without showing any unusual behavior.

Time passed quickly as everyone worked tirelessly.

In just two days, they were about to install the Heavenly Xuan Array Core and complete the Locking Spirit Array.

Finally, Chief Lu reappeared.

"I will install this Heavenly Xuan mirror," she proposed, surprising everyone.

Although unexpected, no one dared defy her command.

Eastern Yao’s face turned tense as he handed over the red virtual image of the Heavenly Xuan Array Core to Landscaler Chen.

Under the watchful eyes of all, Chief Lu placed the Heavenly Xuan mirror in the central core area.

The mirror seemed familiar with her, aligning itself effortlessly and beginning to connect with the outer array.

It was just like what they had seen outside the Abyss.

Green light expanded from the central array core, spreading outward.

"Wait a minute," Li Fan noticed something different about this Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array compared to his own construction.

His face remained calm as he mentally processed.

"What’s different?"

From an array knowledge perspective, Chief Lu's operation was flawless, with no discernible flaws.

But Li Fan felt that the same Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array had some subtle differences in a crucial area.

Watching the formation of the Locking Spirit Array, the feeling of being under constant scrutiny returned.

Li Fan’s heart skipped a beat. He knew where his intuition led him.

As soon as the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array was completed, the mysterious array that had covered the Spirit Transformation Ravine vanished at the same time.

The immense divine consciousness Li Fan had sensed also disappeared during this period.

Everything seemed to fall into place.

Even if someone noticed, they would think Chief Lu had withdrawn her power upon seeing the completion of the array.

But Li Fan didn’t believe so.

A bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

Both the mysterious array and the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array unfolded in a similar manner.

The all-seeing surveillance effect was eerily identical.

"Is it not gone?"

"Has it merged with something else?"

"Is it one with both, or just潜伏?"

Li Fan’s gaze remained calm, but his mind churned with thoughts.

"Is she leaving herself a backdoor in the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array?"

As the first提议者 of the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array, Landscaler Chen undoubtedly had this capability. But her purpose left Li Fan guessing.

"To prevent potential失控 of the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array in the future,"

"Or is there another reason?"

"After the普及of the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array, controlling it means gaining supreme power."

"The Strategy Hall's top array mage is just an ordinary array mage."

"There’s still a long way to reach true power."

"Perhaps she can use the Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array to make this leap."

"Even glimpse the Longevity Realm?"

As Li Fan’s thoughts continued to diverge, the fully formed Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Array caused the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Ravine to applaud.

Landscaler Chen also smiled for the first time.

She looked down at the cultivators with a gentle expression.

When her gaze fell on an elderly man with white hair, she suddenly paused.

Where had she seen this person before?

Landscaler Chen was surprised but dismissed it as just another ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

Her thoughts raced as memories flooded her mind.

In a flash, they stopped at the scene several years ago when her daughter, Lu Xuejing, returned after being kidnapped by an old fisherman due to her overconfidence. Fortunately, a cultivator swapped her back using his belongings. Grateful for the rescue, she had tried to thank him but he left in a hurry.

She only remembered his face and had used water mirror techniques to describe him to her father.

This must be him.

But how could this person have aged so much in such a short time?

"Who is that man?"

Landscaler Chen telepathically asked Eastern Yao.

"Sure enough, he’s here!"

Seeing the looks of both Chief Lu and Brother Eastern directed at Li Fan, Huangfu Song thought to himself. (End of Chapter)
