"But don't worry, it will be broken in a month at most, and then we can arrange to rescue the Azure Dragon." Gu Ci Zhenjun smiled slightly.
“Alright, then we’ll wait for good news from the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits.” Chen Sangruo also replied with a smile, “I’ll just watch from the side, True Lord Gu Ci, you don’t need to worry about me.”
For the next month, Shen Sangruo went to the barrier almost every day to observe how Gu Ci Zhenjun broke the barrier.
At first, Immortal Lord Changli and Qiyan followed her closely, but as her injuries gradually healed, they relaxed a little and stopped following so closely.
It was also because the cultivation world hadn't found any new formations during this period and wasn't so busy that they were able to do this.
But no matter when, there was always someone by her side, either Immortal Lord Changli or Qiyan.
Seeing that she was watching intently, Gu Ci Zhenjun realized that she was interested in barrier techniques, so he told her that he would personally teach her barrier techniques after the barrier was broken.
Shen Sangruo was naturally happy to agree and readily accepted.
She learned a lot through observation, but it was still not as good as having someone teach her step by step, especially since the other party was the ancient Ci Zhenjun, who was highly skilled in barrier techniques.
Just as Gu Ci Zhenjun had predicted, it took a month to break the barrier.
The enormous hemispherical glass dome shattered into countless fragments, refracting different colors in the sunlight before disappearing.
"The barrier has been broken!" Gu Ci Zhenjun's calm voice was tinged with excitement.
The scene inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits was similar to when Shen Sangruo and the others left, except that five stone statues were broken and the palace where they were enshrined was damaged.
The members of the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits immediately checked all the important items in the hall, such as documents, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no problems.
The only thing the heretical cultivators want to touch is the system.
Shen Sangruo had mentioned this to everyone before, but she stopped them in time.
She put the system back in its original place in the main hall. "I don't know what those evil cultivators want to do with the system. It's best to keep it safe in the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits."
She had never figured out this question: what was the connection between the system and the evil cultivators, and what secrets was hidden within the system?
Bai Mumu has been dead for so many years and is gradually fading from the memories of people in the cultivation world, but these questions remain unanswered.
During this time, she also tried to use her spiritual power to probe the system, but the system's defenses were stronger than before, and she was unable to detect anything more.
We can only try again after she breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Because the current situation doesn't seem to have much to do with the system—the system is important, yet it doesn't seem that important—this matter isn't urgent.
Placing the system in the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits was also to prevent those evil cultivators from using the system for their own purposes again.
Gu Ci Zhenjun nodded in response, "The Wanling Palace will strengthen the defenses here afterward. Now, let's go find the location of the Azure Dragon's landing point in the space."
The group arrived at the palace in the east, where Qiyan activated its power and sensed Qing Shu's presence.
Qing Shu ran continuously in the space for a whole month. Her incredible stamina was already evident when she was chasing after them.
They seize any loopholes and launch an attack, displaying boundless energy.
Her rampage has created chaos in the space.
In some areas, the scenery didn't refresh, while in others, the refreshed scenery overlapped.
The scene looked like someone was hallucinating after eating hallucinogenic bacteria.
With Qi Yan's senses, the location of the spatial point was quickly discovered, in the corner of the room where the Azure Dragon was enshrined.
"Hiss, how did those evil cultivators deduce that the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits would be built here and that it would enshrine the five divine beast statues, and set up the formation in advance?" Fang Yu stroked his chin.
After a month, they had recovered a lot and no longer needed to rest, so they came along this time.
"Bu Xiu," Ye Huai slowly uttered the two words.
Bu Xiu was able to deduce the secrets of heaven and predict future events through divination.
However, because of his voyeuristic attempts to peek into the secrets of heaven, Bu Xiu often suffers backlash, paying the price with his lifespan, and basically doesn't live long.
The longer the history or the more significant the event, the heavier the price will be.
"There are at least several hundred years between the establishment of the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits and the setting up of the array by the evil cultivators. How could those evil cultivators have calculated that far ahead?" Su Xiyu clicked her tongue in amazement.
He then complained, "With such strong causality, why didn't it directly backfire and kill them?"
Su Xiyu's words were true. The cost of calculating the establishment of the Myriad Spirits Palace and then setting up the formation based on its location was beyond what ordinary people could bear.
Even if a group of highly skilled diviners were to make calculations simultaneously, it would be extremely difficult to achieve.
“They are all heretical cultivators, so they must have ways to evade the heavenly punishment,” Chen Sangruo said.
Unable to bear it, they sought to make others bear it for them, thus shifting the divine punishment onto others.
Those evil cultivators are masters of this art.
Hearing her say this, the doubts in everyone's hearts dissipated, replaced by a deeper hatred for evil cultivators.
"Tell Qinglong that we have found a landing spot and need its cooperation," Chen Sangruo said to Qiyan.
The cultivators from the Myriad Spirits Palace, skilled in spatial manipulation, surrounded the landing point, and within half an hour, the landing point was revealed.
A small light floated in mid-air, and they continuously poured spiritual energy into it, causing ripples of spiritual energy to spread throughout the room.
After exchanging information with Qinglong, Qiyan said, "Qinglong is also ready. She has almost destroyed the space, leaving basically only an empty shell."
That shell is the skeleton of the space, and also the most difficult part to destroy, enveloping the space.
With a cultivator skilled in spatial manipulation working in tandem with Qing Shu, they should be able to destroy it quickly.
The main reason is that Qing Shu is very powerful. If she hadn't been unaware of it, this space wouldn't have been able to trap her at all.
Even if it's just brute force, sooner or later they could blast a hole in the space.
The space created by the ancient heretical cultivators is still somewhat difficult for modern cultivators to decipher.
Fortunately, Qing Shu's personal strength raised the overall level, and a few days later, she also shattered the outer shell of the space.
All that's needed now is to open up the passages on both sides, and Qing Shu will be able to come out and return to the real world of cultivation.
There shouldn't be any major problems at this stage; the matter will be resolved soon. Shen Sangruo and the others are already preparing to return to Ninghua Sect.
But Qi Yan suddenly told her that there was a problem with the passage connecting the two spaces.
"Qinglong said that the passage was blocked by something, like a cloud of murky gas. It would corrode her as soon as she touched it, making it impossible to pass through."
Only by finding a way to remove that gas can the Azure Dragon emerge.
Upon hearing this, Shen Sanruo frowned and went to the point where the space landed. Sure enough, wisps of gray-black turbid gas were spreading from the landing point.
