More than an hour later, Xiao Wuyu finally let out a long breath and stopped what he was doing.
"I have a clue. It's impossible to completely break this formation, but it's possible to get into that teleportation array. That's all I can do."
"I'm relieved to hear that. I'll go in and try it first. If it doesn't work out, you have to get me out quickly. It's very dangerous in here, and I'm not sure I can last long."
After Jian Ning finished speaking, she turned back and smiled at Xiao Lingfeng, then strode towards the formation.
No one knew how she moved, but in the blink of an eye, Xiao Lingfeng saw the water ripple in front of him, and Jian Ning's figure had already appeared in the formation.
He took a few more steps forward and then disappeared completely within the formation.
"Brother Xiao, where did he go? Is he in danger?"
Xiao Lingfeng became quite anxious when he couldn't see Jian Ning.
Watching your loved one suddenly disappear leaves you feeling empty and uneasy, and you worry that something might have happened to them.
"It's alright, it's just a matter of angle. She's still inside, I can sense it. Don't rush, sit down and rest for a while. I reckon she can only take ten steps further in, that's her limit."
Seeing that Xiao Wuyu was not in a hurry at all, and seemed confident.
Xiao Lingfeng calmed down a bit. He simply sat down cross-legged and began meditating. There was no use in being anxious; for now, he could only wait and not cause any trouble.
Just as Xiao Wuyu had said, after more than half an hour, a sudden burst of lightning struck the formation, and Jian Ning's hair stood on end as she was struck, and she darted out of the formation.
"Ouch! What kind of lightning is this? It's even more powerful than the lightning that strikes the heavens during a tribulation! It almost burned me to a crisp!"
Luckily, I was somewhat prepared. These few lightning bolts wasted one of my top-grade defensive magic artifacts. This Reversal of Heaven and Earth Formation is indeed interesting; it's not so easy to break through."
As he spoke, he wiped his face with his sleeve, instantly turning it into a mess.
Xiao Lingfeng quickly conjured a water ball in his hand, took out a towel, dipped it in the water, and cleaned her face.
He asked with concern, "Are you alright? What's the situation inside?"
"It's alright. The formation inside is quite dangerous. One wrong step and you'll attract heavenly lightning. There are also unknown poisonous creatures and poisoned arrows. It's really hard to guard against them."
"We'll go in with Brother Xiao in a bit, and I guess we won't run into what happened earlier."
Jian Ning tested her array formation skills this time, and sure enough, there were still many shortcomings.
It seems I need to strengthen my studies in this area when I have more time. You never know how much you need knowledge until you need it.
That describes her current situation. She can't think of a suitable solution at all. It seems she really has a lot to learn about formations.
"Let me help you recover your strength before we go in. Make sure you follow my steps closely; don't make a single mistake, or you'll trigger the formation. Don't blame me for not saving you then," Xiao Wuyu said, handing Jian Ning a small bottle of pills.
Then he took out a rope-like magical artifact, gave it a gentle shake, and tied it around the waists of the three of them. This was to prevent them from getting separated inside. This was no ordinary rope.
It can disregard the distance of time and space, binding the three of them tightly together. This makes it convenient for him to rescue them at any time.
"Brother Xiao, your rope is really good."
Jian Ning took the medicine bottle, poured out a pill and put it in her mouth, then unceremoniously put the rest into her storage bracelet.
He didn't forget to praise Xiao Wuyu.
"Let's go. Focus. Once inside, it's best not to make a sound and keep your eyes on my steps." Xiao
After Wu Yu finished speaking, he led the way towards the formation.
Xiao Lingfeng was truly on high alert, his eyes, just as Xiao Wuyu had instructed, fixed intently on Jian Ning's feet ahead. The three of them formed a chain, twisting and turning, sometimes forward, sometimes backward.
In Xiao Lingfeng's eyes, there was no pattern at all.
However, they were indeed heading towards the formation, continuing to move. Although their speed was a bit slow, fortunately they didn't trigger the formation.
Xiao Lingfeng felt as if he had walked for a long time before finally stopping ahead, and his eyes lit up. A teleportation array studded with gems finally appeared before the three of them.
"There shouldn't be any danger here anymore. I have a teleportation stone to activate the teleportation array. Shall we go over and see what's on the other side?"
Jian Ning simply couldn't control her curiosity.
As soon as Xiao Wuyu untied the rope, he quickly walked over, circled the teleportation array twice, took out a teleportation stone from his storage bracelet, and was about to put it on.
"Wait, I can't go with you guys. My wife is pregnant, and if we leave, I don't know when we'll be able to get back to base. I don't want to go crazy with you guys."
Xiao Wuyu quickly spoke up to stop him. He dared not easily try something unknown in front of him. Call him cowardly if you will, but he had family waiting for him, and he dared not risk his life recklessly.
"Don't worry, as long as you're with me, I can send you back anytime. The Immortal Abode is inside my body."
How could Jian Ning not bring Xiao Wuyu along? What if the other side still had the same formation?
With her mediocre skills, she probably doesn't have the ability to break the formation.
Even if they wanted to get out, they couldn't; being trapped inside the formation would be disastrous. It's better to be safe. That's why we absolutely can't let Xiao Wuyu go back. With him there, there's an extra layer of protection, isn't there?
"Let's go then, and come back quickly."
Hearing Jian Ning say this, Xiao Wuyu felt relieved.
The three of them stood on the teleportation array. Jian Ning placed the teleportation stone in her hand on it, and a burst of colorful light flashed.
Immediately afterwards, I felt dizzy and disappeared from the teleportation array in the blink of an eye. I reappeared outside an ancient and desolate city wall.
Yellow sand filled the sky, and the wind howled; the ancient city before me seemed like a painting frozen in time.
The vicissitudes of history and the traces of time are solidified in every brick and tile.
This ancient city must have endured countless winds and years, but it remains desolate, as if there were no people at all.
"Where is this? Is it ancient times?" Jian Ning looked at the unfamiliar traditional Chinese characters on the flags fluttering on the city wall, completely bewildered.
"I don't know, let's go take a look." Xiao Lingfeng said, taking Jian Ning's hand and leading the way to fly over. Now that they were here, they definitely had to find out what was going on.
What exactly is going on here, and how is it connected to the teleportation array over there? Without finding the answer, we probably won't be able to get back.
Although it doesn't look far from the ancient city, it's actually at least twenty miles away. Luckily, all three of them were skilled enough to fly there on their swords, braving the yellow sand.
