Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 484 Repairing the Teleportation Array

Previously, when Li Yuan was exploring the underwater ruins with Mo Baichuan, he sensed a faint fluctuation of a teleportation array at the end before leaving.

I kept that teleportation node in my mind, but with Mo Baichuan present at the time, it was inconvenient for me to investigate it alone.

The area where the cleanup operation is currently taking place happens to be near the ruins, making it a good time to investigate.

After traveling at high speed across the seabed for about half an hour, Li Yuan began to recognize the seabed terrain ahead.

A group of reefs.

The water pressure traps and spatial rift defense system set up during the last visit are still in operation, but because the restriction on the entrance to the ruins had been lifted by Li Yuan once, the defense strength is much weaker than when he first came.

Li Yuan followed the safe route he remembered through the trap area and arrived at the stone gate at the entrance to the ruins.

The stone gate remained closed, and the restriction was re-sealed. However, Li Yuan had already grasped the underlying logic of the array patterns when he last lifted the restriction, so it only took him a few breaths to unseal it again.

The stone door slid open silently.

The corridor was dim and quiet, the murals and inscriptions still silently etched on the walls. An ancient, spiritual aura and a faint smell of the sea filled the air.

Li Yuan did not linger in the corridor, but walked directly to the fork in the road and turned into the third passage.

The third passage was narrower than the side hall passage on the left, and the carvings on the rock walls were also much older. The deeper one went, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy in the air became, carrying an extremely pure water-based attribute.

At the end of the passage was a small stone chamber.

In the very center of the stone chamber, a circular teleportation array occupied most of the ground. The array base was paved with some kind of dark blue ore, and its surface was covered with densely packed spatial runes. Surrounding the array base were six jade pillars about half a person's height, each topped with a spirit stone. However, most of the spirit stones were broken or had exhausted their spiritual power, with only two still emitting an extremely faint light.

Teleportation array.

But his condition was extremely poor.

Li Yuan crouched down at the edge of the teleportation array and probed the array base with his spiritual power.

The array network overview operates automatically.

The overall structure of the teleportation array rapidly unfolded in my perception. This was a standard spatial teleportation array, at least of the third-tier superior grade, made with extremely exquisite materials. The dark blue ore in the array base was an extremely rare deep-sea void stone, and the spatial runes were engraved with a level of exquisite detail that was truly admirable.

However, the damage was equally severe.

If we force the start under the current conditions, the teleportation will either fail or the spatial channel will collapse during the teleportation process, with unimaginable consequences.

Although I am not afraid of spatial damage, I am afraid of appearing in unexpected locations.

Li Yuan stood up and looked around the stone chamber.

Besides the teleportation array, the walls of the stone chamber were also engraved with some auxiliary array patterns, mainly used to stabilize spatial fluctuations when the teleportation array was in operation. These auxiliary array patterns were in better condition than the teleportation array itself, but there were still many places that needed repair.

Some runes are not completely destroyed, but their spiritual energy circulation is interrupted, rendering them inoperable. Once the broken circulation is repaired and spiritual energy is replenished, these runes will regain their function.

The only things that really need to be completely replaced are the two jade pillars and a small section of ore at the edge of the array base.

The repair is not too difficult, but it requires specific space-type materials.

Boundary Void Stone, Void Stone, Void Crystal, and Mysterious Void Sand used for welding spiritual energy circuits.

Li Yuan mentally prepared a list of the necessary materials and left the stone chamber.

After passing through the ruins corridor and resealing the stone gate, Li Yuan burst out from the reefs and headed towards the nearest Alliance Island Market.

Two hours later, Li Yuan arrived at a medium-sized trading market established by the Alliance in the outer sea.

The market was built on a low volcanic island. It was not large in scale, but it had a full range of goods.

Li Yuan went straight to the shop selling materials for array formations.

When the Tianyue Sect was building the ultra-long-distance teleportation array around Kunpeng, it purchased a large amount of space-related materials. After the project was completed, the leftover scraps and excess inventory were bought up by merchants and flowed into the markets of various districts.

These materials are of little use to ordinary cultivators, but they are exactly what Li Yuan urgently needs.

The three core materials—Boundary Stone, Void Stone, and Void Crystal—were all found in the first shop. The quantity wasn't large, but it was enough.

In the corner of the second shop, they found a small bag of Xuan Kong Sand. The quality was average, but it was enough to handle the welding work of the spiritual energy circuit.

In addition, Li Yuan purchased two qualified jade pillar blanks and a batch of spirit stones for replacement.

All purchases were completed, costing nearly two hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

Li Yuan did not linger in the market. After finishing his shopping, he immediately set off back to the underwater ruins.

After passing through the defensive area of ​​the reefs again and breaking the stone gate's seal, we arrived at the stone chamber at the end of the third fork in the road.

The teleportation array lay quietly on the ground, its dark blue base gleaming with a cool luster in the faint spiritual light.

Li Yuan took out the purchased materials one by one and placed them around the teleportation array.

The restoration work began with the two jade pillars that were most severely damaged.

Li Yuan pulled out the shattered old jade pillar, and the new jade pillar blank was quickly polished into the same specifications as the original pillar under the processing of the weapon-refining technique. The array pattern engraving and the subtle artifact principle inscription were applied at the same time, and the carving knife drew precise spatial runes on the surface of the jade pillar. The depth and angle of each engraving mark perfectly matched the runes on the original pillar.

After the two new jade pillars were embedded into the array base, Li Yuan began to repair the ore defects at the edge of the array base.

With his mastery of array formations at the third tier and a multitude of permanent array-related attributes, his repair work was extremely efficient.

Two hours later, the last node of the spiritual energy loop was welded.

Li Yuan stood up, took two steps back, and examined the repaired teleportation array.

The six jade pillars were intact, and all the spirit stones had been replaced with new ones. The spatial runes on the surface of the array base were restored to their original state, and the spiritual energy circulation was unobstructed. The auxiliary array patterns on the four walls of the stone chamber were also repaired, and their condition was far better than before the repairs.

Li Yuan channeled his spiritual power into the array base.

The teleportation array slowly lit up.

A dark blue light radiated outwards from the center of the array base, while the spirit stones atop the six jade pillars simultaneously emitted a soft blue glow. Driven by spiritual power, the spatial runes activated sequentially, and the entire teleportation array emitted an extremely deep hum.

The buzzing continued for a few breaths before subsiding, and the teleportation array entered a stable standby state.

Repair successful.

Li Yuan sat cross-legged next to the teleportation array, making hand seals.

Tianyan Divination Technique.

A wisp of lifespan was extracted, and the remaining Heavenly Evolution number was instantly replenished.

The sensory impulses in the sea of ​​consciousness merged into the void.

Li Yuan silently wondered: What will be the short-term fortune or misfortune of activating this teleportation array?

The permanent effect of the Celestial Senses came into play at this moment. The feedback flow was faster than ever before, and the clarity of perception was also significantly improved.

The image that appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness was no longer a blurry gray mist, but an extremely dark deep blue. Within the deep blue, faint points of light flickered, like stars sleeping in the deep sea.

There are no signs of danger.

The overall color tone of the image is cool but peaceful, without the use of dark red representing danger or pitch black representing death. The flickering frequency of the light spots is even and stable, suggesting that the environment on the other side is in a quiet but safe state.

Li Yuan put away the incantation and stood up.

Step into the center of the teleportation array and place your feet on the core anchor point of the array base.

Spiritual energy is infused.

The teleportation array activated with a roar.

The spirit stones on the six jade pillars simultaneously emitted a dazzling blue light, and the spatial runes rotated rapidly around the core anchor point.

An extremely strong spatial fluctuation completely enveloped Li Yuan's body.

The field of vision disappeared in a violent distortion.

Light, sound, temperature—all senses are temporarily deprived during the transmission process.

The transmission time of the space channel was very short, far less than that of interstate teleportation, lasting only a dozen breaths.

The light faded, and I regained a sense of solidity beneath my feet.

Li Yuan opened his eyes.
