Soon, three large golden characters disappeared from view, transforming into countless golden star points, gradually forming a picture, with each star point moving swiftly, causing the picture to change accordingly.
The undulating mountains, the majestic peaks, looking at the terrain, it is precisely located sowhere deep within the Longyan Mountain Range.
Over a thousand elder guardians with extraordinary deanor were gathered here, the earth before them split open, revealing a ten-thousand-foot deep chasm, with deep red magma surging and roaring within that abyss, flas shooting skyward, as if trying to swallow the entire world.
These elders were constantly performing hand formations, powerful Qi Light ford a giant seal that enveloped the chasm. Under the terrifying force, the rift in the abyss began to slowly close.
One after another, grotesque and bizarre Netherworld Beasts climbed along the walls of the chasm, but before they could reveal their heads, they were struck by one or several domineering Sword Lights, rolling downwards, causing splashes of fiery red.
These thousands of elders stood firm on one side of the chasm, continuously performing hand formations and unleashed Sword Lights, sweat pouring from their faces, yet not a single person showing any sign of slacking. Their expression was so grave and focused.
No one noticed that a thousand feet beneath their feet, a massive array was gradually taking shape, tens of thousands of Netherworld Beasts gathered around, injecting streams of dark red Qi Light into the array.
"Not good!" Han Yan and Huayue exclaid simultaneously, even Jiang Yuzhe, who usually reacts a step slower, suddenly changed his expression.
Although the Ancient Mirror was not large, the picture composed of golden star points was exceptionally clear, with their current cultivation and eyesight, every face in the picture seed to be magnified right before their eyes. Among these people, they saw familiar faces like Mu Beichen, Gong Hongru, Nangong Jingyuan, Lu Nianxin, and others.
Clearly, the chasm was the Netherworld Prison Rift of Jiuyou, and Beichen and other top experts from the Mainland Countries were gathered here, exerting their lifelong strength to reseal it, yet they hadn’t discovered that the Netherworld Beast Clan had already set up an array beneath them.
Though no one knew exactly what kind of array it was or how powerful it was, one thing was certain, once this array was activated, the thousands of top experts from the Mainland Countries would face a catastrophic disaster.
"No, we must quickly notify them!" Watching the grave and focused faces of Beichen, Lu Nianxin, Gong Hongru, and others in the picture, Han Yan was anxious.
Saying this, Han Yan rushed out of the palace quickly, but upon reaching the outside valley, she halted.
Although it was sure that the chasm was in the depths of the Longyan Mountain Range, Han Yan didn’t know the exact location, having never been there in her previous life.
"Do you know where that place is?" Han Yan turned to look at Ye Lanfeng and Huayue and others who followed.
Everyone shook their heads.
"How about we go back to Beining Pass, and send a ssage via carrier eagle?" Jiang Yuzhe proposed.
"It’s probably too late." Zirong shook her head. Unlike before when she would criticize Jiang Yuzhe, no matter what, he thought of using carrier eagles instead of foolishly running back to the Capital himself, he had improved significantly.
But judging from the images in the Heavenly Secret Mirror, the Great Array seed close to completion, returning to Beining Pass for sending and waiting for replies would likely be too late. Given they are in the Longyan Mountain, knowing the direction of the chasm would enable them to reach it much faster.
"Right, Divine Summoning Technique, Master Qu, can you try the Divine Summoning Technique to see if it’s helpful?" Han Yan suddenly rembered Qu Shanling’s Divine Summoning Technique, asking hopefully.
"The Divine Summoning Technique uses the spiritual power of Ancient Divine Artifacts to find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or Ancient Relics. However, Jiuyou Netherworld is neither Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure nor Ancient Relic, it holds no relation with this Heavenly Secret Mirror, so I am powerless," Qu Shanling sighed.
Must it be like Jiang Yuzhe ntioned, returning to Beining Pass for sending ssages first? Hearing Qu Shanling’s answer, Han Yan felt a pang of disappointnt.
"However, according to Master’s teachings, this Heavenly Secret Mirror is fated with you, even without blood recognition, it acknowledges you as its master, otherwise your powers wouldn’t have increased so significantly. Since it can reveal scenes of Jiuyou Netherworld, it should be able to help you find its location." Yet Qu Shanling, his head shaking, soon added.
Not only Han Yan but also Huayue and others felt an urge to beat this old god-man onto the ground, thinking he had changed recently, becoming more straightforward without resorting to mysterious antics, unaware he quickly reverted to form.
"Why didn’t you say so earlier?" Han Yan said angrily.
"Weren’t you asking to try the Divine Summoning Technique? I just inford you about it first," the old god-man said innocently.
Seeing his innocent expression, Huayue and the others felt even more like hitting him.
"I’ll teach you the Divine Summoning Technique, try it yourself," Qu Shanling, flinching under their unfriendly gazes, quickly got to the point.
Compared to ordinary hand formations, Divine Summoning Technique is incredibly exquisite, wondrous and unparalleled, but Han Yan had already learned Star Illusion Thousand Machine Technique, followed by cultivation in various strange and mysterious arts at Long Yan Academy, hence her proficiency was swift, mastering almost perfectly in less than an hour.
Worried about Mu Beichen and Lu Nianxin and others, Han Yan had no ti for gradual practice, directly performing the hand formation, her ntal state fully integrated into the Heavenly Secret Mirror.
The familiar and affectionate feeling welled up again, as though this Heavenly Secret Mirror inherently belonged to her, accompanying her through countless millennia of long years, Han Yan even felt its deep attachnt to her, understanding that Divine Artifacts have spirit, akin to humans, recognizing friends, partners, even family.
With Han Yan’s hand formation, suddenly, a gold beam shot out from the Heavenly Secret Mirror, beaming straight into the distance.
Soon, the beam vanished, the mirror emitting a sense of exhaustion, clearly, that gold beam consud a lot of its energy.
"Is it in that direction?" Huayue worriedly asked.
Although the beam appeared briefly, its direction was unmistakable, Huayue genuinely worried about what happens if it’s not the direction of the Netherworld Prison Rift?
"There can be no mistake," Han Yan affird.
The feeling of spiritual connection with the Heavenly Secret Mirror was nothing outsiders could comprehend, leaving her without doubt.
Ye Lanfeng once again perford a hand formation, casting the Wind Control Skill.
Surprisingly, Xia Youchen also executed the Wind Control Skill.
A slight turn of thought later, everyone was at ease, Xia Youchen originally was a Sword Saint Realm expert, although his current power recovered only to Great Sword Master Realm, casting Wind Control Skill wasn’t overly difficult.
