Chapter 153: The Teleportation Array Leads to the Great Jin Cultivation World?
Next, Lin Chuan and Yuan Yao settled down in this ancient cultivator's ruins.
Although the ruins are deep underground, the space is spacious, the stone chamber is intact, and the remaining restriction layer, after being reinforced by Lin Chuan, is sufficient to prevent outsiders from peeping.
Yuan Yao furnished the largest stone chamber with simple living quarters, and also created a quiet room for Lin Chuan to study the formation, while keeping the other room for herself to cultivate.
Lin Chuan then began to focus on studying the damaged teleportation array.
Back in the Yue Kingdom, his understanding of array formations was still shallow, and the repair of that ancient teleportation array relied entirely on the array masters invited by Han Li.
But things are different now—decades of research, coupled with the array techniques he has inherited from various relics, have made his array skills vastly different from what they used to be.
Moreover, this teleportation array is only missing a corner, making it much easier to repair than the less complete teleportation array from back then.
Lin Chuan sat cross-legged in front of the teleportation array, took out a blank jade slip, and began to sketch the array diagram little by little.
The incomplete parts need to be repeatedly deduced, guessed, and verified based on the direction of the complete array patterns, the rules of the runes, and the path of spiritual energy flow.
Once, twice, three times...
Fail, try again, fail again, try again.
Time slipped away quietly as we focused on the deduction.
Eight months have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the jade slip in Lin Chuan's hand finally took shape.
He pressed the jade slip to his forehead, examined it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, a smile appeared on his lips.
"It's done."
Next, the materials were used to repair the teleportation array.
He took out the various materials he had prepared beforehand—spiritual jade, black iron, void stone… and followed the guidance of the array diagram to piece together the missing corner bit by bit.
More than a month later, the teleportation array was repaired.
The cyan jade was as smooth as new, with densely packed runes connecting to form a complete loop, faintly radiating spiritual light.
"Brother Chuan, are we really going to go to the other side of the teleportation array?"
Yuan Yao stood behind Lin Chuan, looking at the repaired teleportation array with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"We have no idea what's on the other side. What if there's some danger..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.
Lin Chuan turned around, took her hand, and gently squeezed it.
I understand your concerns.
He certainly wouldn't act rashly.
With the divination results in hand, why take any risks?
"Wait a moment, let me think about it some more."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao nodded and said no more.
The two stood side by side in front of the teleportation array, waiting quietly.
……
Half an incense stick later.
A golden light appeared before Lin Chuan's eyes.
Today's divination result: Minor misfortune.
[The divination reads: Today, you were transported to the southern border of the Great Jin Dynasty via this teleportation array. The other end of the array is located in a secluded valley, but it is very close to a major sect. Your arrival was immediately noticed by the sect's disciples, leading to a minor conflict. Although your life is not in danger, it is quite troublesome.]
"The Great Jin Dynasty's Cultivation World!"
Lin Chuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he was startled.
Unexpectedly, this teleportation array led to that place!
The Great Jin Dynasty is a sacred place for cultivating immortality in the human realm.
In terms of both geographical area and resource abundance, it far surpasses Tiannan and Luanxinghai.
The area is teeming with powerful individuals, with dozens of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators and several legendary Deity Transformation cultivators living in seclusion.
In the Nascent Soul stage, one is already a top-tier fighter in the Chaotic Star Sea, enough to establish a sect. But in the Great Jin Dynasty, one is merely a powerful figure in one region, far from being invincible.
"Xiao Ji..."
Lin Chuan looked at the divination text and fell into deep thought.
The divination indicates that after being teleported there, a conflict will arise with a major sect.
Although there is no danger to their lives, it is quite troublesome.
With his current cultivation level at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, coupled with his numerous trump cards, he is not afraid of any major sects.
The problem is that he has just formed his Nascent Soul and his foundation is not yet stable. Although he has refined the Azure Ice Flame, he cannot use the Void Heaven Cauldron yet, and the Great Geng Sword Formation has not yet been fully cultivated.
Going to Dajin at this time is too early.
"Let's not teleport."
Lin Chuan put away the divination results and said to Yuan Yao.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.
Lin Chuan turned around, walked to the teleportation array, and slapped it down with his palm.
"Click—"
He smashed one corner of the teleportation array.
The damaged parts broke again, the runes shattered, and the aura dissipated.
In any case, he has already mastered the complete array diagram, and can repair it whenever he wants to use it in the future.
……
Next, Lin Chuan began to think about his future path.
He is now a Nascent Soul cultivator.
He held the Void Heaven Cauldron and the Azure Pearl in his hands.
The Void Heaven Cauldron is a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, whose power far surpasses that of ordinary magical artifacts.
However, to activate it, one must cultivate the corresponding Tongbao Technique, refine the Qianlan Ice Flame, and reach the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
It is not available at the moment.
The Azure Ice Flame can be refined.
Over the past few months, he has absorbed it into his body and nurtured it with the fire of the elixir, ready to unleash it against enemies at any time.
In addition, there is another sword formation technique in the "Qingyuan Sword Manual" - the Great Geng Sword Formation.
This sword formation is incredibly powerful; once set up, cultivators of the same level are almost unable to escape.
However, to unleash this supernatural power, the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords need to be reforged—by adding a material called Geng Essence to each flying sword.
Geng essence is even rarer and more precious than Geng metal. Lin Chuan has searched for countless treasures over the years, but he has only accumulated a small piece, enough to refine twelve flying swords.
Geng essence is even rarer and more precious than Geng metal. Lin Chuan has searched for countless treasures over the years, but he has only accumulated a small piece, enough to refine twelve flying swords.
Far from enough.
Seventy-two flying swords require seventy-two portions of Geng essence.
"Looks like we'll have to move again."
Lin Chuan did not intend to stay in one place for long.
His magic touch needs to be constantly changed to find more opportunities.
Although the Chaotic Star Sea was engulfed in war, with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation, neither the Reverse Star Alliance nor the Star Palace would provoke a neutral Nascent Soul cultivator for no reason.
……
Lin Chuan led Yuan Yao away from the ancient cultivator's ruins and covered the entrance again.
For the next three years, the two traveled to various parts of the Inland Sea.
Guided by the daily divination, Lin Chuan's gains were astonishing.
He found three ancient medicinal herbs in a deep sea abyss; he discovered pills left behind by ancient cultivators in an underground cave on a deserted island; and he found a small vein of Gengjin ore in a hidden group of reefs. Although it was only the size of a fist, it was priceless.
Over the course of three years, he accumulated enough spiritual herbs to cultivate to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Yuan Yao is currently only at the Core Formation stage, so cultivation resources are more than sufficient for her.
……
Three years later, Lin Chuan found a small island, about two hundred miles in circumference, in the southwestern waters of the Inner Sea.
This island possesses a spiritual vein, though not of the highest quality, it is sufficient for practical use. The island is uninhabited, desolate, and secluded.
Lin Chuan and Yuan Yao opened a cave dwelling here and officially settled down.
……
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
For ten years, Lin Chuan never left his house. Apart from occasionally guiding Yuan Yao in her cultivation, he spent his time in seclusion refining his flying sword.
The seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords were finally all infused with Geng Essence and refined anew.
Each flying sword was sharper and more robust than before, and the golden lightning patterns on the blades were even more profound.
