Chapter 240 Arrival at Qingyun Continent
Chapter 240 Arrival at Qingyun Continent
Including Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, there were twenty people on this trip, all of whom were pillars of their respective sects. To be honest, their journey to the Qingyun Continent was a very risky decision for their respective sects.
If the breakthrough is successful, the sect's strength will be greatly enhanced. However, if it fails, the sect may lose its pillar of strength and decline from then on.
However, the path of spiritual practice is endless.
Reaching the peak of a realm means that a cultivator's understanding of the laws at that stage has approached its limit. Only by striving for a higher realm can one further explore and conform to higher-level laws, thereby becoming more integrated with heaven and earth, gaining greater power and a wider living space.
These adventurers all shared this idea.
The Yan Yang Sect was represented by its leader, True Person Yan Ling, while the Tian Yuan Sect was represented by True Person Yuan Hong, who had previously visited the ancient ruins. There were also a few familiar faces, but Lin Shushu was seeing most of them for the first time.
Returning to the far north ice plains, this time not as a large group, and with the companions being among the top figures on the continent, the journey was smooth, and they arrived at the location of the teleportation array two days later.
Although she already knew that the teleportation array left over from ancient times would not be simple, Lin Shushu was still shocked when she saw it.
The entire teleportation array extends dozens of meters underground, is the size of a standard football field, and is octagonal in shape. At the ends of the octagon stand eight enormous energy pillars, their surfaces carved with ancient mythical beasts of various forms, as if they might burst forth from the wall at any moment.
From underground upwards, it consists of different platforms, each layer engraved with runes and array patterns. Due to the long passage of time, an ancient and rustic aura emanates from it, giving people a solemn and mysterious feeling.
At the center of the teleportation array is a deep, circular groove, surrounded by a ring of small rune arrays, like stars surrounding the moon.
At this moment, everyone was standing on the outside of the groove.
For this teleportation, they chose the Azure Cloud Continent as their destination because they only knew its exact coordinates in space. And this, of course, was something Lin Shushu had consulted with Cangwu.
When Cangwu learned that she had found a way to go to the Qingyun Continent, the entire phantom trembled. Lin Shushu had no doubt that if he were a physical being, he would shake the very fabric of space.
Although the others were puzzled as to how Lin Shushu knew the specific coordinates, she already had many secrets, and it wasn't necessary for them to know them, so they didn't ask any further questions.
Master Yanling's expression was solemn as he rapidly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. In an instant, a beam of light flew out from his storage ring. After the light dissipated, an ancient and heavy cauldron was suspended in mid-air—the Qiankun Cauldron.
The Qiankun Cauldron was about two meters tall, its body engraved with patterns of mountains, rivers, the sun, moon, and stars, each line seemingly containing the power of heaven and earth. Master Yanling pushed it forcefully with both hands, and the Qiankun Cauldron slowly descended, landing steadily at a specific position on the edge of the teleportation array.
At the same time, Master Yuan Hong also took a step forward, and with a flash of light, the Hunyuan Pearl appeared in his palm. The surface of the Hunyuan Pearl shimmered with multicolored light, and within the light, countless stars seemed to twinkle.
Master Yuan Hong raised the Hunyuan Pearl high and chanted an incantation in a low voice. The Hunyuan Pearl shone brightly and then slowly flew up, hovering in another key position of the teleportation array. The energy it released resonated with the Qiankun Cauldron.
Holding the Star Mirror, Lin Shushu quickly walked to the center of the array. She took a deep breath, placed the Star Mirror in the groove of the array's center, and simultaneously channeled all her spiritual energy into the Star Mirror.
The three exchanged a glance and nodded to each other before simultaneously unleashing their power. The Qiankun Cauldron, the Hunyuan Pearl, and the Star Mirror shone brightly, their three different colors of light intertwining and entwining to form a massive pillar of light that shot into the sky.
The runes on the teleportation array were instantly illuminated, and light flowed rapidly within the array like water. The ancient divine beasts on the energy pillars also seemed to be activated, emitting deep roars.
The entire teleportation array erupted with a powerful spatial fluctuation, distorting the surrounding air and making the light even more dazzling, almost blinding everyone. The teleportation array was successfully activated, and the three divine artifacts were retrieved by their respective owners.
Just then, a powerful suction force, like an invisible behemoth, suddenly pulled everyone present into the formation.
Lin Shushu felt dizzy, as if her body was being pulled by countless forces at the same time. The surrounding space seemed to have turned into flowing liquid, constantly twisting and deforming.
She instinctively channeled her spiritual energy, trying to stabilize herself. At the same time, she also needed to maintain communication with the Star Mirror to ensure that the teleportation direction was correct.
Mo Ze was not far from Lin Shushu. He channeled his spiritual energy to form a shield around himself, resisting the immense pressure of the teleportation process. While trying to stabilize himself, he moved closer to Lin Shushu, wanting to protect her in this chaotic environment.
Master Yanling and the other Nascent Soul stage elders each unleashed powerful spells, carving out a relatively stable area within the chaotic teleportation space. Their expressions were solemn as they focused intently on dealing with any unexpected situations that might arise during the teleportation process.
Master Yuan Hong manipulated the Hunyuan Pearl, causing it to emit a softer light. This light acted as a warm barrier, enveloping everyone and alleviating their discomfort during the teleportation process.
In this chaotic space, time seemed to lose its meaning. After an unknown amount of time, the light within the teleportation array gradually dimmed, and the distortion of space slowly returned to calm.
Everyone felt a sudden brightness before their eyes and a lightness in their bodies before they were transported to another world.
As everyone slowly opened their eyes, they found themselves in an unfamiliar territory. The clouds in the sky took on strange shapes, emitting a faint glow. The surrounding mountains and trees were completely different from those of the Fiery Sun Continent.
Everyone knew that they had successfully crossed the teleportation array and arrived at the Azure Cloud Continent, where a journey full of challenges and opportunities awaited them.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, where are you headed? If it's convenient, we might as well travel together." After recovering, True Person Yanling invited Lin Shushu to travel with them. After all, they were outsiders, and it would be easier for them to make their way in this place if they worked together.
"No, we have other things to do here." Lin Shushu declined Yan Lingzhen's suggestion. Firstly, they really did have other matters to attend to, and secondly, they were not yet familiar enough with the people from these sects to be able to venture out together.
Hearing her say that, Master Yanling didn't insist, as this was within his expectations. "In that case, take care!"
After all these people had left, Lin Shushu released Cangwu from her spatial storage.
"Finally... I'm back." Cangwu's voice trembled slightly, filled with complex emotions. These simple words carried so much feeling.
He looked at Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, his eyes filled with gratitude, "Thank you!" Cangwu said solemnly.
Lin Shushu smiled and waved her hand, "No need to be so polite. You've helped us a lot too. Mo Ze and I are very grateful to have been able to help you."
