Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body-Chapter 482 - 482 Searching for the Array

482 Searching for the Array

“There’s something more important,” Elder Yun poured a new cup of tea and said with a serious expression.

“What else is more important than the invasion of the demonic race?” Gu Xi asked with a puzzled look. Although he could not figure it out, he believed that since Elder Yun could describe it in such a way, this matter must be of extraordinary importance.

“At present, the most important thing is indeed to resist the invasion of the outer realm demonic race. What I’m talking about is inextricably related to this matter.” Elder Yun chuckled and took a sip of tea. He looked into the distance and continued, “Do you know what means the demonic race must use to cross the space and come to the Eastern Continent?”

Gu Xi and Tong Shan looked at each other, and the former said tentatively, “A spatial tunnel or… A teleportation array?”

Elder Yun nodded and explained, “Although I don’t know how far the outer realm demonic race’s territory is from the human race’s territory, I think the distance between the two must be extremely terrifying. If they want to send a large number of people to invade, they will definitely use a huge teleportation array or build a stable spatial tunnel.”

“Even if they have top-notch cultivators, it’s impossible for them to build a spatial tunnel that spans tens of millions of miles in a day. Even if they’re secretly building a spatial tunnel, they’ll definitely cause a lot of noise, and it’ll definitely attract the attention of the hidden old monsters in the Eastern Continent. Therefore, this method is not feasible.”

“Compared to building a spatial tunnel that spans tens of millions of kilometers, using a huge transportation formation is much more desirable. The construction of a transportation array formation is much simpler than a spatial tunnel. Although there is a limit to the number of people that can be transported in one go, as long as we build a few more transportation formations, we can make up for this disadvantage in numbers.” 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

“No matter which method the demonic race chooses, as far as I know, this is the only way they can come here. So, as long as we can find the teleportation array or spatial tunnel that they have built and destroy it, we can greatly delay their invasion. At least, we can have more time to prepare for the arrival of that day.”

As Elder Yun’s voice fell, Gu Xi could not help but fall into deep thought.

“This matter can not be delayed. I’ll go and check if there’s anything wrong with the teleportation array formation that the Eastern Continent brought. As for searching for other formations and tunnels that we don’t know about, this matter is a bit tricky. We can only wait for the others to arrive before we make any plans.”

Gu Xi slowly got up, his expression very serious.

“Yes, I’ll leave this matter to you. I’ll wait here for the other sects and forces to arrive and try to unite them to resist.”

Elder Yun also stood up slowly. After a moment of thought, he continued, “This is a copy of the teleportation formations in the Eastern Continent that I know of. Go and investigate them one by one. Also, this is a messenger jade talisman. If you encounter any danger, you can crush it, and I’ll be the first to come to your location.”

As he spoke, Elder Yun took out a map and a green jade talisman. Gu Xi did not refuse and put them into his bag.

“Pavilion Master Tong, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of me in the following period of time,” Gu Xi turned to look at Tong Shan and said solemnly.

Tong Shan hurriedly waved his hand when he heard that. He said sternly, “There’s nothing to worry about. It’s related to the safety of the Eastern Continent. As the people who live in this land, we naturally can’t just watch the outer realm demonic race descend here.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi smiled with satisfaction. His eyes moved slightly and his gaze fell on Little Nine and Song Qingluan. He first smiled at Song Qingluan and then said to Little Nine, “Your injuries have yet to fully recover, so you should stay here and recuperate. Perhaps we’ll still need your help in the upcoming battle.”

Gu Xi’s words made Little Nine speechless. She had originally planned to go with him to check on the situation. Helplessly, she could only nod and agree.

After everything was settled, Gu Xi did not stay here any longer. With a tap of his toes, he turned into a long rainbow and left the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. He flew out of Lanjiang City at a speed that was hard to catch with the naked eye.

…

The next day, in the deep mountains a thousand miles away from Lanjiang City, a figure quickly flew across the sky above the forest. A terrifying pressure tilted down from above, oppressing the various demon beasts in the forest to involuntarily prostrate on the ground and tremble.

Gu Xi’s figure slowly landed on the ground, and with a flip of his hand, the map that Elder Yun had given him appeared in his hand. His eyes stopped on a conspicuous red dot in a certain place.

“It should be around here,” he muttered and slowly closed his eyes.

In the next moment, an invisible divine sense whizzed out from his mind and rushed in all directions. In just a few short breaths, it had covered an area of several dozen miles, and every blade of grass and tree was reflected in his mind.

“I found it.” A moment later, Gu Xi suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look in a certain direction. Without any hesitation, he quickly shuttled through the dense forest with the tip of his toes and appeared at the location that was reflected by his divine sense in ten seconds.

When he stopped, he saw a large open space. In addition to some messy stones, there was an obvious array left behind. However, it seemed that this array had not been used for a long time.

“This is already the third formation that has been destroyed.”

After a rough look, Gu Xi shook his head in disappointment.

This array was not big, and after the baptism of time, repairing it would be a huge project. It was almost impossible to do it without a master in spirit arrays, and most importantly, whether it could be used after repairing it was still unknown.

Considering all these factors, the possibility of the outer realm demonic race choosing this place was not high.

“Are they really going to build their own array?” Gu Xi shook his head helplessly and opened the map again. After checking it, he turned around and headed to the next teleportation portal marked on the map.

However, before he could take a few steps, he paused.

He arched his nose and sniffed the fresh air of the forest.

“This bloody smell… It can’t be a coincidence, right?”
