Inside the secret room.
Lin Xiuyuan gradually finished setting up an altar.
It was very simple. In the center were several incense burners, spirit-inducing incense and mind-controlling herbs, some spirit fruits, and a mirror made of spirit objects.
Lin Xiuyuan activated the magic technique, directly setting up the cave's array. The array, set up by the sect's experts, was powerful enough to withstand the attacks of a late-stage Foundation Establishment expert.
After activating the cave's array, Lin Xiuyuan felt it wasn't secure enough, so he took out the array plate of the Twin Spirit Blade Array and set it up. Then, he placed a stack of talismans in his hand, which made him feel more secure.
Although this move was somewhat risky, and it was unknown what might be attracted through the worship, the Golden Mirror Secret Technique was extremely powerful. If one could master it, it would undoubtedly be a formidable weapon. Moreover, seeing that the Golden Mirror master seemed to experience no unusual symptoms after practicing it and successfully mastered it, Lin Xiuyuan was less wary.
Now that he is in the Cloud Soaring Sect, he can take these risks.
With these multiple measures, even if something unexpected happens, it should buy him some time to escape the cave and seek help from the outside world. With a Golden Core Ancestor and even a Nascent Soul expert in the sect, they should be able to suppress any unforeseen dangers.
Having made all the necessary preparations, Lin Xiuyuan quickly suppressed any trepidation that arose at this crucial moment, took out the nameless jade slip, and began cultivating the Golden Mirror Secret Technique.
"In the mystery of heaven and earth, all things are without root. I cultivate extensively throughout the realms, proving my divine powers... My three souls are eternal, my wisdom is clear and pure. My body rests in peace, my spirit returns to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Lord of the Eternal Heaven, may all people honor your name, may it endure forever. I beseech you, Lord of the Eternal Heaven, to grant me divine will..."
As Lin Xiuyuan chanted the incantation, he made hand gestures according to the instructions on the inscription, causing flashes of spiritual light to appear.
Then, spells were cast onto the altar one after another until the last spell was cast, accompanied by the final words, "Give me divine will."
For a moment, the altar remained motionless, and the entire secret chamber was quiet.
Lin Xiuyuan was initially very cautious, ready to activate the formation and runes at any moment, but upon seeing this scene, he frowned, thinking that it had failed.
After all, this kind of divine art requires worship to gain the "god's" approval and obtain the "key" to unlock the lock before it can be practiced.
Lin Xiuyuan couldn't explain the specific reasons either, as he couldn't understand them given his limited knowledge and experience.
All that is known is that although the specific operating route and its mysteries are shown on the jade slip, without that "key", it is impossible to successfully cast the spell, which is quite strange.
Now, it seems he has not gained the approval of "God"?
However, the next moment, a burst of spiritual light erupted from the mirror on the altar, reflecting a hazy golden radiance.
Immediately afterwards, a strange ripple appeared in the space above the altar, and strands of golden light extended from the central mirror, spreading out and covering the space, thus emitting a strange and indescribable fluctuation.
Such incomprehensible auras usually give people a sense of mystery. After all, they are auras caused by spiritual energy, and it is only natural that they are filled with indescribable mystery.
But the aura emanating from this strange phenomenon has nothing to do with spiritual energy; it seems to be some other kind of power!
Incomprehensible, unheard of!
"Is this divine magic? It's a power source different from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. No wonder it needs the approval of 'gods'..."
Lin Xiuyuan's eyes showed a hint of shock. At this moment, he seemed to understand why the "key" was needed. It was another source of power no less than spiritual power, a powerful unknown power, at least one that Lin Xiuyuan had never seen before.
However, although this aura was strange and beyond his comprehension, it did not give him the slightest sense of danger.
This gradually made him lower his guard and begin to passively accept this "God's approval"!
As ripples spread across the space on the altar, the golden light extending from the mirror gradually grew brighter, revealing a series of strange phenomena.
Before long, golden patterns formed and spread out toward the front, where Lin Xiuyuan was.
Like ripples on the surface of water, the waves spread and gradually covered Lin Xiuyuan.
During this diffusion process, as if locking onto Lin Xiuyuan, the ripples suddenly contracted, turning into specks of golden light that engulfed him.
At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan's heart was in his throat, his face showed maximum vigilance, and his hands seemed to tremble slightly. He forced himself to refrain from using his protective methods.
Although the scene was somewhat eerie, Lin Xiuyuan did not sense any danger. On the contrary, the suddenly formed specks of golden light seemed rather gentle, which allowed Lin Xiuyuan to hold back his outburst.
At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan watched with a wary expression as the golden light spread out and gradually merged into his body.
The process was completely comfortable; on the contrary, it gave me a strange sense of comfort and pleasure.
However, at that moment, from the distorted space that was rippling with waves of light, as the golden light shone brighter and brighter, it suddenly seemed as if a gaze was fixed on him from within.
Just like that distorted space, connecting to another alternate dimension, it attracted unknown and powerful beings!
In an instant, Lin Xiuyuan felt a tremor run through his body, and his eyes filled with uncontrollable horror. For a moment, he dared not make any rash moves.
Because that gaze seemed to come from an incomprehensible being, transcending all living beings and things, as if it were a higher form of life.
