Chapter 754 - 119: Entering the Outside World for the First Time

Buzz~

As two threads of magical power were precisely infused, the teleportation array, at least from ancient times, finally awakened from an eternal slumber.

It emitted a slight yet mind-shaking hum.

On the array body, the originally decayed and blackened patterns seemed to be injected with vitality.

The patterns first glowed with wisps of pale golden spiritual light.

Immediately afterward, the spirit stones and spirit marrow at the array hub began to tremble violently.

The stone skin on the surface of the spirit stones and spirit marrow peeled away inch by inch.

Immensely pure spiritual qi, as if drawn by an invisible giant hand, continuously surged into the array patterns.

In just the blink of an eye, the two pieces of spirit marrow containing vast energy turned into powder as the spiritual qi drained rapidly.

Meanwhile, the three main patterns on the teleportation array were already filled with spiritual light.

The spiritual light moved slowly like three dormant golden dragons, circulating atop the array body.

The surrounding air began to heat up.

The concentration of spiritual qi rose at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The originally dark abyssal bottom was illuminated by the array’s spiritual light as if it were daylight.

Swish~

The familiar light curtain rose as expected.

This light curtain was identical to the scene Li Ji’an had witnessed when Duanmu Qin left Cangyun State in his past life.

The next moment, the earth shook and mountains swayed, spiritual light flashed intensely!

The blinding spiritual light made Li Ji’an instinctively squint his eyes.

His Divine Sense remained fully focused on sensing the state of the array.

He was afraid any unexpected accident might occur.

Yet in that split second, his Divine Sense, comparable to a Nascent Soul’s Primordial Spirit, suddenly went black.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had tightly gripped his Divine Sense.

And then he lost all control.

His consciousness instantaneously plunged into chaos.

Countless shattered light and shadows flickered in his mind.

He felt as though his entire being was being torn apart by a distorted space.

And he experienced an unprecedented feeling of weightlessness.

Instinctively, he wanted to reach out for Ning Sujin beside him.

But he found himself completely unable to control his body.

He could only barely retract his Divine Sense back to his Sea of Consciousness.

Relying on the robust foundation of his Divine Soul to resist the erosion of spatial forces.

Heaven and earth overturned, the sun and moon reversed.

Li Ji’an felt as though he had been thrown into a high-speed rotating vortex.

The boundaries between sky and earth completely blurred.

The direction of up and down was entirely switched.

This sensation was a hundredfold more intense than the spatial force interference he had encountered while using teleportation arrays multiple times before.

The spatial fluctuations of a teleportation array were still gentle and controllable.

But at this moment, the spatial force was like a raging beast.

What scared him even more was that after his consciousness plunged into chaos, his sense of direction, time, and even touch, hearing, and vision had come to a complete halt.

He didn’t know how long he had been drifting in the spatial turbulence.

Nor could he think at all.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

When that invincible feeling of weightlessness gradually dissipated.

Li Ji’an’s five senses finally began to slowly recover.

He abruptly opened his eyes.

Before him was a desolate and silent landscape.

After regaining his composure, he realized he was lying on a broken, dusty array plate.

Surrounding him was a ruin full of cracks.

Evidently also deep within an earth vein.

A strong scent of desolation and decay assaulted his senses.

It drilled into his nose, making him involuntarily furrow his brows.

This scent wasn’t just pungent.

It also carried a subtle corrosive power.

Stealthily penetrating towards his Divine Soul.

"Sujin!"

Li Ji’an’s heart tightened.

He immediately noticed that there was no one around him.

Ning Sujin, who should have been by his side, was nowhere to be seen!

He quickly released his Divine Sense.

Trying to search for Ning Sujin’s presence.

But the next second, his expression changed dramatically.

His Divine Sense, which was as strong as a Nascent Soul’s Primordial Spirit and could originally extend for miles, could only cover an area of less than five Zhang around him at this moment!

Within five Zhang, besides the broken array base and scattered stone debris.

There was no sign of any living being.

Ning Sujin’s presence had completely vanished.

"Something’s wrong!" Li Ji’an abruptly stood up from the ground.

His entire body surged with magical power.

Spiritual light flickered in his eyes.

He used a secret technique to see through any possible illusions around him.

But no matter how he probed.

There was nothing related to Ning Sujin at the entire bottom of the abyss, aside from him and five puppets.

"What’s going on?" Li Ji’an’s heart sank heavily.

A sense of unease quickly spread in his heart like vines.

"Wasn’t it supposed to be a great omen? How could this happen..."

He clearly remembered that before setting off, Ning Sujin had performed a divination for their cross-dimensional journey.

The result was a great omen.

This was also a crucial reason why he dared to activate the teleportation array with confidence.

But now, the two of them were not only separated.

He was also in such an eerie place.

Which was completely contrary to the term "great omen."

But the next moment, Li Ji’an forcibly calmed down.

He also realized that Ning Sujin’s ability to seek fortune and avoid evil could only determine the ultimate outcome of fortune or misfortune.

It couldn’t predict the specific variables during the process.

Which meant that this journey was inherently safe in the end.

But unexpected events occurred during the process.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

At this moment, the five puppets suddenly stood up from the ground, making crisp sounds.

They didn’t hesitate at all, immediately surrounding Li Ji’an, protecting him on all sides, with the bloodthirsty chains still in standby mode.

"Was it an issue with the spatial fluctuations?" Li Ji’an took a deep breath, releasing his Divine Sense once again, meticulously scanning the five Zhang radius around him.

He also tried stepping in different directions to expand the search area, but the result remained unchanged, Ning Sujin’s presence was like a stone sinking into the ocean, leaving no trace.

He took out the communication jade talisman, infused magical power to attempt contacting Ning Sujin, but there was no response from the jade talisman.
