ninety thousand miles

Chapter 503 Lines
Li Chuan subconsciously looked outside, and the light fell into his eyes. Everything in his field of vision seemed to be coated with a layer of oil, blurry and unusually bright.

In front of him were many strange buildings. Almost only some incomplete walls and outlines were left of these buildings, but one could still see their style and construction method, which he had never seen before.

He took two steps forward and felt the ground was soft. He lowered his head and found a thick layer of colorful gravel on the ground. Among the gravel, there were many black stones. The closer to the building in front, the more gravel there were, and they were arranged in reverse order into a rune-like pattern.

He remembered what Jiang Mei said, and raised his head to look for the place where the clouds gathered, but he only saw a vortex-like light. In the middle of the light, a spreading black spot could be vaguely seen.

"Where are the clouds? Did you find them?" Li Chuan asked.

"It was right there before," Jiang Bai pointed at the black spot in the light, "Could something have happened during this period of time?"

Wen Guying looked at the light for a while and said, "Not necessarily. Maybe when you arrived here, the ferry would be open."

"It's possible," Yao Shuang agreed with Wen Guying's speculation and said, "It's a formation. I don't know when it will be opened next time."

"How long will it take?" Li Chuan asked.

Yao Shuang shook her head and said, "I don't know. The formation can run for a few hours at the fastest, or several years, decades, or even hundreds or thousands of years at the slowest."

"It shouldn't be decades," Jiang Bai said, "It's not that coincidental. It only happens once every few decades, hundreds of years, or thousands of years, and I encountered it before."

"Senior Sister Yao, can you crack it?" Wen Guying turned around and asked.

"Let me take another look." Yao Shuang said, and continued to look towards the light.

Li Chuan looked around and asked Wen Guying in a low voice, "Master Wen, can I walk around here for a while? Is it dangerous?"

"Just don't be too far away from me." Wen Guying said.

"How far is too far?" asked Jiang Bai.

Wen Guying pointed to the ruins ahead and said, "Do you see that wall that looks like a door? Just don't go beyond that."

Li Chuan looked in the direction he pointed and found the wall, which was about a hundred feet away from where they were standing. So he said, "Well, I'll walk around and take a look. Maybe I can find something useful."

After saying that, he stepped on the gravel and walked forward.

Jiang Bai also followed.

After entering the building complex, Li Chuan felt a change in his surroundings. He took advantage of the light, concentrated his mind, and entered a mysterious state.

The colorful sand on the ground, the gravel mixed in it, and the broken walls and ruins all around, all seemed to melt and disappear in his eyes.

what happened?

This was the first time Li Chuan encountered such a situation.

What does this mean?
He did not move, but looked up at the light. The light seemed to fade away and his vision became dim, but he did not escape from the mysterious state.

He waited.

Everything in the field of vision continued to fade away, and finally only two colors, lines of varying lengths and thicknesses remained. The two colors of lines kept changing positions and chasing each other.

After a while, Li Chuan finally saw their structure and the patterns formed by the interweaving of these structures.

He suddenly realized where he was at the moment—he was in the missing chamber of the nunnery spire. The fusion of the two colored lines represented the fusion of the chamber and the original secret realm. He came out of the mysterious state and looked up at the light again.

After Yanyunke and Shilongwang discovered this secret realm, they placed a stone platform outside the secret realm. Through the stone platform, they determined the location of the chamber, and then opened it to awaken the demon master sleeping in it...

Li Chuan's sight fell on those strange buildings. Were they damaged during the ascent, or when they collided with the Huaian Mountain secret realm, or... or by people like Yan Yunke?
He turned around and prepared to go back.

At this time, Jiang Bai asked him: "You have been watching for so long, what mystery have you found?"

"Did you see anything?" Li Chuan asked him, "Apart from the disappearance of the clouds, are there any other changes here compared to when you came here last time?"

"There is no change. It's still here," said Jiang Bai.

"Still? How do you know?" Li Chuan asked.

Jiang Bai said, "I noted down the locations of the gravels last time. This time, they are the same as before, and the same goes for the sand."

Li Chuan said: "Below the nunnery, there was a spire, which was a magic weapon of the demons. It had several parts in different chambers, and I felt at the time that it seemed to be missing a piece..."

"Is this the missing piece?" Jiang Bai asked.

"That's it." Li Chuan said, "The chamber may be the body of a spirit beast from the God Clan."

As they were talking, they walked back to Wen Guying and Yao Shuang.

Yao Shuang had stopped observing the formation at this time. She sat on the ground, and the black shovel shrunk to the size of her arm, rolling continuously in front of her.

Li Chuan asked Wen Guying softly, "What is Senior Sister Yao doing?"

Wen Guying also answered her in a low voice: "She said that the possibility of breaking the formation is not great, but she can try to dig it directly. So she is now planning a path."

"Can we dig it?" Li Chuan asked.

"What method do you have?" Wen Guying asked.

So Li Chuan repeated to Wen Guying what he had just said to Jiang Bai, and said, "I think I can separate these two places."

"Secret realm and chamber?" Wen Guying asked.

"Well, when I saw it just now, I had this idea in my mind. After separation, the chamber will no longer affect the secret realm." Li Chuan expressed his thoughts: "Do you think this way, can we cut off the connection between the stone platform and the ferry?"

"This..." Wen Guying fell into deep thought.

Li Chuan's thoughts were active, and he said: "If it is possible, can the ferry be closed? Then, we will seal the entire chamber. Aren't Elder Cang Ming and Elder Mi Jing nearby? Ask them to move the entire chamber to a safer place, and then slowly study it, or use it to lure the demon spirits over..."

"Okay." At this time, Yao Shuang opened his eyes, stood up, and said, "Let's go over there."

"Wait, Brother Li can separate the secret realm from the chamber," Wen Guying relayed what Li Chuan said to Yao Shuang, and said, "I think it's somewhat feasible. And in this way, we can return to Jiang Mei earlier, and the pressure on him will be less."

Yao Shuang looked up at the sky and said, "We have come this far, and I will not be satisfied if I don't take a look at what the ferry looks like."
