Everything Yueh Xin did was to quickly enhance the foundation of the Nine Provinces to a level that satisfied his needs. Therefore, throughout this process, he would try to avoid unnecessary waste, which might have been his original intention in setting up those nodes. Perhaps even without those nodes, the Formation of the Nine Provinces could directly reach the domain on the other side.
It must be said that Yueh Xin’s proficiency in the Array Path indeed surpassed the Nine Provinces cultivators by a long shot.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jian Guhong reached the vortex at the center of the big array, collided into the vortex and then... was directly bounced back.
The scene was like an invisible beast had swallowed him and then spit him out.
Everyone was montarily stunned.
Jian Guhong obviously did not expect this to happen, so he tried again, but the result was the sa. After charging into the vortex, he was bounced back out again.
There was no need to try again. He turned with a flash of sword light and flew back.
The crowd gathered around him, and Wuchang asked, "What’s going on?"
Jian Guhong shook his head, "There’s an invisible barrier blocking my teleportation."
Everyone was dumbfounded. Yang Qing clearly said this was a teleportation big array, so why was there an invisible barrier? Was there a problem sowhere, or did Yang Qing not understand it either? Or perhaps he understood but didn’t explain?
Considering Yang Qing’s proficiency in the Array Path, it’s highly likely that he doesn’t understand either.
Jian Guhong continued, "Although it’s a strange feeling, it seems related to my cultivation level. This big array can’t teleport Constellation Realm; maybe Divine Sea Realm can try it."
The feeling was indescribable and could only be sensed by experiencing it firsthand, with no concrete evidence.
Here’s the problem, it’s because of the concern about the Heavenly Punishnt power in the opposing domain that we wanted the Constellation Realm to explore it, a Divine Sea Realm’s visit is not as secure.
But now, this big array’s teleportation can’t et the Constellation Realm’s needs, which is frustrating.
"Let go take a look," a voice rang out; it was none other than Feng Wujiang.
If the Divine Sea Realm has to be deployed, he is undoubtedly the best candidate, as his strength is already the pinnacle within the Divine Sea Realm. Across the entire Nine Provinces, there is no one stronger than him.
He has long been qualified to advance to the Constellation Realm. If he wanted, the first person to set foot on stellar space from the Nine Provinces would not be Jian Guhong.
Just because he wanted to spend more ti with his wife and daughter, he didn’t participate in the previous scramble.
Everyone hesitated a bit. Jian Guhong thought for a mont and shook his head, "Let’s take our ti and plan carefully."
Soone suggested, "If it doesn’t work, just destroy this Formation."
If we really need to explore the opposing domain’s situation, there are other ans. Now that there are so many Constellation Realm cultivators in Nine Provinces, even using the stupidest thod of searching the stellar space, it shouldn’t take long to find it.
Everyone was concerned that Feng Wujiang might not return, as such risks are truly unwise.
Wuchang shouted, "Lu Ye, you little rascal, got any bright ideas? What’s your plan?" Actually, it wasn’t really for Lu Ye to co up with a plan, just that everybody knew that Lu Ye is currently favored by Heaven’s Augury, and the Nine Provinces Heaven’s Augury is mysterious and unpredictable, so perhaps Heaven’s Augury could provide so Insight.
So Lu Ye always seed to know things that others didn’t.
Turning their heads around, Lu Ye was nowhere to be seen, and Wuchang couldn’t help but wonder, "Where did he go? He was here just now."
"Over there!" Soone pointed in a direction.
Right in front of the vortex at the center of the big array, Lu Ye had sohow already arrived there. Naturally, he couldn’t have been so stealthy right under the eyes of Constellation Realm cultivators, but with Number Nine’s concealnt, it was possible.
If Senior Brother was the first choice to explore the opposing domain, then he was the second choice. So when he heard Jian Guhong say the teleportation matter was related to cultivation, he asked Number Nine to conceal his whereabouts and headed over here.
In the Blood Refinent World, Senior Brother had already done enough; not everything should be left to him. Now that this Junior Brother has grown, it is ti to take on so responsibilities.
As for Heavenly Punishnt... although he brought up this matter, he wasn’t actually too worried about it.
Since Yang Qing had been to that domain, if there truly were a Heavenly Punishnt, he couldn’t have kept quiet and watched as the Nine Provinces cultivators went to their deaths.
Thus, since a Divine Sea Realm had to go and investigate, he wouldn’t shy away, not to seek any lilight; he no longer needed to make a na for himself in Nine Provinces. It was just that, in this situation, he was the most suitable candidate.
Destroying the Formation is inappropriate, not to ntion the massive resources spent on the early setup. This Formation can allow Number Nine to devour the foundation of the opposing domain, so it cannot be destroyed. Nine Provinces might even grow rapidly because of it.
Leaving it unattended is also not feasible, as teleportation is generally two-way. If soone from the Nine Provinces can go over, soone from the other side can co here, so it’s necessary to explore the situation over there.
He headed straight for the vortex without the slightest hesitation and slamd into it.
The world spun, and heaven and earth inverted.
It was a morable long-distance teleportation, making him recall the effects of the teleportation arrays he set up when his cultivation was not high, and this ti it was far more intense than back then.
Furthermore, a powerful pressure from all directions compressed him, making Lu Ye feel like he was not in the midst of teleportation but rather entering the intestines of a being.
He instantly understood that the Formation Yueh Xin had the Nine Provinces set up was never ant for teleportation! Teleportation was just a side function; devouring was the true essence of the Formation.
Throughout the process, he couldn’t unleash his spirit or see anything. Just from the teleportation experience, it was a world apart compared to teleportation with the Heaven’s Augury Pillar.
No one knows how much ti had passed before a faint light suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ye, just when he thought he would remain in this state forever.
The light rapidly expanded in his vision, and Lu Ye was involuntarily propelled forward.
Despite feeling dizzy and unwell, he still imdiately mobilized his spirit force to protect himself, layering Defense Spirit Runes upon himself.
Even though he was certain that there was little risk of Heavenly Punishnt in this domain, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Indeed, there was no Heavenly Punishnt, as it would have descended imdiately if there were any.
However, Lu Ye felt a clear and familiar suppression of his cultivation, a sensation he had experienced before!
Therefore, Lu Ye promptly realized his location.
He was deep underground, and what was suppressing him was the omnipresent origin magnetic field. However, since he wasn’t too deep, his cultivation was still able to manifest the power of the Divine Sea Realm.
After calming his mind slightly, he had the ti to survey the surrounding environnt.
Indeed, he was underground, in a massive circular space. The surrounding rock walls were smooth and flat, with faint remnants of powerful energy.
This was... man-made!
It surely had to be Yueh Xin’s handiwork.
He was careful by nature, knowing to hide his arrangents, thus creating such a space deep underground.
The surrounding light ca from a peculiar type of stone, resembling stars sprinkled on the do of the circle, casting a hazy glow over the entire space.
Lu Ye descended, inspecting the arrays in this place.
He discovered that this array was the sa as the one the Nine Provinces cultivator had set up in Liyuan, only much smaller in scale. Perhaps it was a testant to Yueh Xin’s profound skill in the Array Path, or perhaps it was intentionally designed.
He slightly cald his disordered spirit force and began to place Spirit Stones onto the array.
Previously, Yang Qing had directly used his own formidable power to activate the array in Liyuan by injecting his strength into it. Although Lu Ye could do the sa, it was better to conserve energy in this unfamiliar place.
He needed to first test whether this array could function for teleportation, in order to determine his subsequent actions.
If it was easy to co here, but impossible to return, it would be a tragedy, and he might have to wait for the Nine Provinces Constellation Realm cultivators to search the stellar space for him.
By all accounts, there should be no problem.
A mont later, Lu Ye activated the array with his spirit force, focusing intently.
He didn’t need to fully activate it, nor did he really need to teleport back. During this process, he could already make a clear judgnt.
In a while, Lu Ye had a clear understanding.
The array could operate, and teleporting back to Nine Provinces wouldn’t be an issue.
Next, he needed to conduct a simple exploration of this domain’s situation.
What could be confird was that there were living beings in this domain. It was just unclear which race they belonged to because a domain could only be called a domain if a large number of living beings inhabited it. Otherwise, it was usually referred to as a dead star or desolate planet.
Until now, Lu Ye had encountered several races, with the Blood Race and Insect Race being the ones he interacted with the most besides the human race.
The stellar space was vast, and different domains varied greatly, resulting in different beings evolving accordingly. Not every place was a haven for the human race.
There was a passage leading upward, which should be the way out of here.
Lu Ye leaped upwards, heading straight up.
The passage was straight, without any turns. He flew for quite a while before he saw a distant light.
Heading toward that light, he soon rushed out, imdiately activating Concealnt and Breath-concealing Spirit Runes upon himself.
Then he discovered that the end of the passage was actually an ancient, long-dry well!
Turning his head to look around, he saw a wasteland before his eyes.
Extending his ntal Consciousness quietly, he found no trace of any living beings within dozens of miles around.
This was expected, considering Yueh Xin’s cautious nature. He had placed the array deep underground, and the entrance within an ancient well in a location that was certainly remote and rarely visited by living beings.
Thus, Lu Ye couldn’t detect the presence of any living beings.
He jumped into the air, looking down as he did so, his brows slightly furrowing.
Within the ruins, there were remnants of walls and nurous dilapidated pavilions, long abandoned over the years.
