The Eternal Saint of Alchemy

"The Azure Scale Clan is willing to provide the specific location of the Scale Ridge Land and the distribution of rocks, but the Twin Realms Platform needs to send the data back to the Azure Scale Clan for archiving after collecting all the landmarks."

Xiao Fan confirmed that the map provided by the Azure Scale Clan matched an unexpanded area north of the Gray Rift detected by his short staff's mental power, and he signed the map that same day.

After saying that, he put the reel on the table and turned to leave.

On the second day of the transition from spring to summer, Xiao Fan, Bai Ye, and Xue Han headed towards the Scale Ridge Land.

The place mentioned by the Azurescale Clan is located seven or eight days north of the Gray Rift, passing through the Low Tower area and the end of the route map, continuing northward.

The terrain gradually changed from low hills and shrublands to a black rock layer. The rock layer became darker in color and denser in texture. By the time we reached the scaly ridge, it had become a completely black rock with an extremely smooth surface, almost without any cracks.

Xue Han squatted down and tapped the rock wall with the back of his knife, producing a short, muffled echo. The density of the rocks here was much higher than that of the rocks in the northern part of the Aurora Plain.

The marks left by the Azure Scale Clan are scattered throughout the Scale Ridge Land, the most recent one being only half a day old.

The group headed towards the nearest place.

When they arrived, the ground was fairly flat, but Bai Ye scanned it with his Silver Frost Sword and found a shallow indentation on the rock, the size of which was exactly the same as the bottom of the stone slab.

Xiao Fan placed the stone slab into the groove, and a layer of silver-gray halo appeared on the surface of the stone slab. The halo lasted for a few seconds and then disappeared. At the bottom of the groove was a silver disc that was half-buried in the ground.

When the silver disc was removed, the halo on the stone slab had returned to normal, and the color had become darker.

Xiao Fan placed the silver disc into his storage artifact and then marked the corresponding location on the map.

On the north side of the scale, there are two similar grooves, each containing a road sign that is shaped like a silver disc but of a different size.

The first item was a round disc, slightly larger in size, with a smooth surface; the second item was a slender silver metal pillar with a lamp base similar to that on the wall of the Rift Valley Stone Gate.

Bai Ye scanned the three road signs with the Silver Frost Sword, confirming that their spiritual energy frequencies and the Rift Valley Stone Gate were part of the same system. However, these three parts corresponded to different functional areas, and their arrangement was determined by the depth of the grooves. Only in this way could they be connected to the ring.

The wavelengths of the spiritual energy in the silver sheet, disc, and prismatic metal sheet change with the depth of the indentation, and the light patterns on the surface of the ring also increase accordingly. The wavelength of each pattern gradually increases until it matches the wavelength of the pattern at the end of the ring.

When the ring, the silver-gray stone slab, and the three signpost components were placed together, the spiritual energy wavelengths of the six signposts automatically connected into a complete line after a quarter of an hour, extending from the edge of the stone slab all the way to the end of the ring.

Xiao Fan confirmed that all three road sign parts had been removed and compared with the Gray Rift's files.

As Bai Ye walked towards the Twin Realms Platform, he said, "The six beacons are all ready. The passages inside the lamp bases of the gray rift stone gate are all arranged according to the spiritual energy wavelengths on the beacons."

The entire channel's position and sequence will now be triggered by the guiding device.

Xue Han walked along the mountain path, checking the terrain and ground conditions of the return route. After confirming the return route, he found that the entire structure remained stable and no structural changes had occurred in any of the indentations, confirming that the return plan was correct.

After returning to the Twin Realms Platform, Xiao Fan arranged the ring, the stone slab, and the three road signs he had taken from the scales on the floor of the array room in order of their spiritual power strength.

The six items maintained a stable and continuous flow of spiritual energy within the array. Once the array was complete, these lines automatically unfolded and extended along the patterns on the floor of the array room to the center of the array, connecting with the crimson-gold crystal on the short staff.

After the connection was completed, the output frequency of the short staff automatically adjusted to the frequency connected to the six beacons. Before the connection was completed, the light on the surface of the crystal continued to flow, and it only stabilized after the connection was completed.

Bai Ye recorded the entire process with his Silver Frost Sword, identifying six landmarks that connected to form a route extending from the north of the Gray Rift to the edge of the Scale Ridge. The route started at the stone gate at the bottom of the rift, then passed through the passage behind the secondary barrier, followed by the low tower, and finally reached a rocky base in the northern part of the Scale Ridge.

A new pattern appeared on the Silverfrost Sword, its wavelength matching the markings, covering the entire area from the Grey Rift to the northern part of the Scale Ridge.

When Xiao Fan copied the entire route onto the bronze disc, a continuously marked passageway appeared for the first time in the area north of the Gray Rift, and the starting and ending points were determined.

The day after the road signs were completed, news came from the Star Pattern Sect Observatory located north of the Gray Rift: the observers confirmed that a golden pillar of light appeared north of the Gray Rift that night.

The pillar of light lasted for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea before disappearing. This was exactly the same pillar of light that the Ancient Bell Clan had previously caused in the northern part of the Silver Plains. However, this time, the pillar of light appeared at the junction of the northern part of the Scale Ridge and the northern part of the Rift Valley.

Xiao Fan used his short staff to remotely track the six beacons and found that during the appearance of the golden light, the wavelength of the beacons showed a stable fluctuation. The fluctuation record indicated that the trigger point of the beacons was consistent with the beacon's connection path, but since no trace was left in the magic array record, the specific target could not be determined.

Bai Ye checked the records of the Silverfrost Sword and confirmed that the connection between the Silverfrost Sword and the six beacons was correct and there were no problems.

Master Cheng arranged for a patrol team to conduct a rapid patrol in the area of ​​the golden pillar of light north of the Gray Rift.

The patrol team reported that during the inspection, the surface of the area remained generally flat, with no new landmarks or structural changes found. The soil and vegetation in the area remained natural and consistent, without any abnormal disturbances.

The spectators from the Star Pattern Sect also confirmed the location of the golden pillar of light; there were no issues.

In the first week of summer, the Twin Realms Platform received a formal letter, signed by the Star Pattern Sect.

In the letter, the Starweave Sect stated that they had discovered an inactive beacon on the stone base north of the Gray Rift by using the wavelengths of the six beacons connected together. They speculated that once the ring was embedded in this beacon, the beacon system would activate its final function.

Three days later, Xiao Fan and Bai Ye arrived at the north side of the Gray Rift Valley once again.
