After coming out, Ye Tian stared intently at Zhang Xinlan. He saw streams of white light continuously shooting from her hands toward the ground below, but the ground showed no reaction whatsoever.
He spread out his Divine Sense to investigate but found nothing. However, he could faintly sense the presence of a Barrier, and it seed as though Zhang Xinlan's white light was trying to break through it.
"Ye Tian, watch closely. The Spirit Gathering Array is about to reveal itself," Zhang Xinlan said to him. "I didn't expect it to be a High-level Spirit Gathering Array. The person who set this up must have been an expert, at least at the Six Veins Power Realm or higher."
Ye Tian nodded. He knew it wasn't a good ti to talk; letting Zhang Xinlan focus on breaking the Barrier was paramount. He might even learn sothing from watching her.
Zhang Xinlan's hands moved continuously, forming intricate signs as the light shot rapidly toward the ground. Gradually, a formation over a ter tall materialized before Ye Tian's eyes.
The formation was triangular, composed of three stone pillars. Its center was blurry and indistinct, but it looked like a mass of Energy was constantly pulsing within.
Zhang Xinlan descended to the ground and slowly walked up to the Array, her expression grim. After examining it for a long while, she spoke, "It's truly remarkable that this Array has survived to this day. The Spirit Stones sustaining it must have been Top Grade Spirit Stones, but their Energy is almost completely depleted now.
Although I also know how to set up a Spirit Gathering Array, I could never create one as perfect as this. What you're seeing is only a part of the Array; the rest is underground. Plus, there's writing on it.
However, the text will take so ti to fully appear. Let's just wait here! Who knows, so great secret might be revealed!"
Ye Tian looked at Zhang Xinlan, skeptical. After all, he knew nothing about Arrays, so he could only listen to whatever she said. Still, he trusted that she wouldn't lie to him.
The two of them stood quietly before the Spirit Gathering Array and waited. The surrounding Spiritual Qi was noticeably abundant, making them feel refreshed and invigorated, as if they were absorbing Spiritual Power directly from Spirit Stones.
After about an hour, one of the Spirit Gathering Array's stone pillars reacted. Several large, golden characters materialized, but Ye Tian didn't recognize them, much to his frustration.
"What kind of script is this? I don't recognize it. It looks a bit like Runes, but not quite. What does it say?" Ye Tian couldn't help but ask.
"This is a unique script from my Sect. Only high-ranking mbers can read it, so it's useless to anyone else. But judging from the words on this pillar, my guess was right!
This Spirit Gathering Array being here is no simple matter. I don't know the specifics yet; we'll have to wait until the text on the other two pillars is fully revealed. This must have been left intentionally by a senior of my Sect for future generations after they discovered sothing," Zhang Xinlan explained.
"Is that so? Your Sect's senior must have been so kind of divine figure to have the foresight to predict that a future mber of the Sect would co here. If no one had co, wouldn't this secret have been buried here forever?" Ye Tian asked.
"I don't know about that. As I said, we have to wait for the text on the other two pillars to appear. These pillars are positioned according to the Three Talents Array, which ans it has its own Defense Power and Attack Power. Anyone who approaches it unknowingly would be attacked, and I'm sure its Attack Power is quite high," Zhang Xinlan said.
The two of them continued to wait for the text to appear on the pillars. It took a full day for the writing on the second pillar to show up, much to their frustration. Their legs ached from standing so long, but at least it had finally appeared.
However, the way the text appeared this ti was rather strange. It was floating in mid-air, which surprised both Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan. There was also a lot of it—several hundred words that seed to be recounting so event—and it lingered for quite a while before vanishing.
Although Ye Tian couldn't read the words and had no idea what they said, he was confident that Zhang Xinlan understood. With her sharp mind, she wouldn't have missed a single detail.
"There were many words, but they didn't reveal anything important. They only explained the ti and thod for making the text on the third pillar of the Spirit Gathering Array appear.
The text on the third pillar can only be revealed on the night of a full moon. Furthermore, it requires a continuous input of Spiritual Power to sustain, allowing the words to manifest in the moonlight. This text will explain why that Sect senior set up the Spirit Gathering Array here, as well as so other reasons," Zhang Xinlan said.
"The night of a full moon? Isn't that in seven or eight days? We can't possibly wait here for that long! I think we should go clean our rooms. We need to focus on our Cultivation, after all. Ti passes faster when you're cultivating, don't you think?" Ye Tian asked.
"But I've never had to clean before. Why don't you do it for ? Don't n enjoy doing things for won? Or would you rather watch a beautiful woman like do manual labor?" Zhang Xinlan asked teasingly.
Ye Tian was stunned. 'I really shot myself in the foot with that one,' he thought. 'I should have just cleaned my own room quietly and been done with it. Now I have to help her, too. How annoying. But if I refuse, she'll definitely be upset.'
"Alright! It would be my honor to help a beautiful lady. I'm sure many n would kill for an opportunity like this. I'll clean your room first, then. Why don't you go take a look around? The scenery here is quite nice," Ye Tian said with a smile.
"Hehe!" Zhang Xinlan let out a laugh that sounded like tinkling bells. She looked at Ye Tian and said, "I'm just teasing you. I may be a Saintess, but you're the Young Palace Master. Your status is more noble than mine. Besides, you'll be my husband in the future. Of course I should be the one doing these things. I was only joking to see if you cared about ."
Ye Tian smiled. "Then let's clean them together! I'd feel bad making you do it all by yourself. But to be honest, I've never seen a beautiful woman do manual labor before!"
Zhang Xinlan shot Ye Tian a look before walking straight into the room on the left. There wasn't much to clean inside; if she put in so effort, it would take an hour at most.
Wasting no ti, Zhang Xinlan waved her hands continuously, and soon the entire room was covered in a white glow. The glow then condensed into an Energy Barrier, leaving Ye Tian, who was watching from the side, completely bewildered.
With a re thought from Zhang Xinlan, a powerful suction force manifested. Ye Tian could clearly see all the dust in the room instantly get sucked into the air, where it slowly gathered into a single ball.
After a good while, Zhang Xinlan stopped. She looked at Ye Tian and said with a smile, "This cleaning is actually a bit tiring. What do you think? Is the result what you expected?"
Ye Tian looked closely and saw that the table and chairs were spotless—even cleaner than if they had been wiped down with a cloth. 'I'm actually impressed that this clever girl ca up with such a thod,' he thought. 'She really is lazy.'
