Chapter 2085 A Gathering of Heroes
Some disciples at the Tai Cang Realm and the 15th rank have already gone to the outer perimeter of Kunyuan from within Cuiping Peak.
Wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue; Cuiping Peak is not a monolithic entity. Although Wei Zhongqian is the peak master, there is no rule in the sect that all actions must follow the peak master's lead.
"Everyone is here, let's go." Just as Chen Fei was thinking, Wei Zhongqian, who was standing in front of the hall, swept his gaze across the entire room like lightning. Without saying much, he announced in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zhongqian waved his sleeve.
"Buzz!"
A deep and grand hum resounded, and the space above the open ground in front of the Danxin Hall twisted and rippled. Then, a small celestial boat, about thirty feet long and gleaming with a faint silvery-white metallic luster, appeared out of thin air.
The celestial vessel is engraved with intricate array patterns, with the power of wind and thunder faintly flowing across its surface. It is a standard magical artifact used by the Danchen Sect for long-distance collective operations.
"Board the ship!"
At Wei Zhongqian's command, he transformed into a streak of light and landed on the command platform at the front of the celestial vessel. The others did not dare to delay, and they all raised their own streaks and flew into the celestial vessel in an orderly fashion.
Chen Fei leaped lightly through the crowd and landed steadily on the spacious deck of the Sky Ship.
As Wei Zhongqian channeled a spell into the core of the Sky Ship, the entire ship trembled slightly, and the silver-white array patterns on its surface suddenly lit up, bursting forth with dazzling light.
The next moment, the celestial vessel instantly merged into the flowing light of the void, disappearing from the plaza atop Emerald Screen Peak with a low, piercing sound, leaving only a faint ripple in its wake.
The spaceship was extremely fast, but its interior was unusually stable, with no noticeable bumps or airflow impacts, clearly due to the protective array at work.
On the deck, some people closed their eyes to rest, while others gathered in twos and threes to talk in hushed tones. The atmosphere was relatively somber, for what awaited them ahead was both opportunity and danger.
Cao Feiyu appeared beside Chen Fei at some point. She glanced at Wei Zhongqian, who stood with his hands behind his back, staring straight ahead, then turned slightly and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, once again instructed Chen Fei:
“Junior Brother Chen, when the ancient Heavenly Court ruins open, we shouldn’t rush to the front or be among the first to enter. We can enter after most people have left.”
The initial opening of a ruin is often the most chaotic and dangerous time. Not only must one face the residual spatial turbulence and the aftershocks of any unleashed restrictions within the ruin itself, but also the attacks and ambushes from other impatient explorers.
Let those eager to seize the initiative go first to explore and draw fire; this is undoubtedly a more prudent choice.
Hearing Cao Feiyu's repeated instructions, Chen Fei's expression became serious. He knew that this was Cao Feiyu's way of showing concern and protecting him.
Chen Fei turned to Cao Feiyu with a smile and nodded, replying earnestly, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. I've never set foot in such ancient celestial ruins before. I will be extremely careful on this trip and will not act rashly."
"Good, it's good that you know what's going on." Cao Feiyu couldn't help but smile.
Chen Fei's statement eased Cao Feiyu's worries somewhat; she was afraid that Chen Fei, having just broken through to a higher realm, might be too arrogant.
After giving her instructions, Cao Feiyu did not leave immediately or say anything more. Instead, she turned around, leaned against the railing of the spaceship, and gazed at the rapidly receding clouds and mountains outside the spaceship. Unconsciously, a look of bewilderment and reverie appeared on her face.
It was as if, through the scene before me, I saw some distant past that was similar to the present.
Chen Fei stood quietly to the side, without making a sound to disturb him.
He could sense the complexity of Cao Feiyu's emotions at that moment, perhaps she was recalling the time she traveled with her senior brother Chu Xuanyu. He simply stood silently by her side, also looking ahead, constantly rehearsing and preparing in his mind.
After a moment of silence, Cao Feiyu withdrew her gaze from the distance, turned to look at Chen Fei beside her, and with a gentle smile returning to her face, asked:
"How is your cultivation of the three inheritances you exchanged before? Are there any doubts? If so, you can tell me now, and perhaps I can offer some insights."
In response to Cao Feiyu's question, Chen Fei smiled slightly. He did not answer directly, but instead extended his right hand and gently patted the shoulder of the puppet that had been standing quietly beside him.
"Om..."
A faint yet incredibly clear spatial tremor emanated from within the puppet's body. It was not a sound heard by the naked ear, but a strange fluctuation that directly affected the soul and spatial perception.
As the ripples spread, an indescribable charm quietly permeated the small space between Chen Fei and Cao Feiyu.
That charm contains both the ethereal and uncertain nature of emptiness, as if it could devour or banish everything. There is also a strange feeling of vaguely touching the long river of time, as if a trace of power comes from a silhouette of the past.
"this…"
The moment Cao Feiyu sensed the unique charm within that ripple, her expression changed instantly. The gentleness and concern in her clear, cool eyes were replaced by deep surprise.
Her question just now stemmed more from her habit as a senior student and her subconscious concern.
In her heart, she didn't really think that Chen Fei could have gained any substantial understanding of the top-tier Tai Cang Realm inheritance, the Eternal Void Time Array Scripture, in such a short period of time.
Too little time!
From the time Chen Fei broke through to the Tai Cang Realm and exchanged for the inheritance until now, only a few days have passed at most.
For a completely new and top-tier lineage, especially one that involves rules such as the void and time, this amount of time is barely enough to understand even the most basic theoretical framework, let alone comprehend its mysteries.
More importantly, in Cao Feiyu's mind, hadn't Chen Fei's potential been exhausted by the Heavenly Origin Technique he had cultivated before?
Just as Cao Feiyu's heart was filled with turmoil, Chen Fei's calm voice rang out, "Thanks to Senior Sister, I have indeed gained some understanding of the Eternal Void Array Scripture. Now I can use the profound meaning of this scripture to set up some simple sub-arrays and hide them deep in the void."
Chen Fei's tone was calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. But to Cao Feiyu, it was like another thunderclap.
The Void Concealed Array is one of the most important characteristics of the Eternal Void Array Classic. It requires not only a deep understanding of the rules of the void, but also extremely strong control of the soul and mastery of array formations to stabilize those fragile void nodes.
Chen Fei has already mastered it?
"Junior Brother Chen's talent in array formations..."
Cao Feiyu looked at Chen Fei, temporarily suppressing the shock in her heart, and a smile returned to her face. This time, her smile was filled with even more relief and appreciation: "It truly hasn't diminished at all; on the contrary, it's even more surprising. This is a joyous occasion, truly worthy of celebration!"
Cao Feiyu paused, then her expression turned serious. "With this method, Junior Brother will have a better chance of protecting himself in the ancient Heavenly Court ruins."
However, junior brother, please remember: so many cultivators, even demonic cultivators, have entered the ruins; they may be the biggest variable and danger!
Chen Fei nodded solemnly: "I will keep your teachings in mind."
He naturally understood that when faced with enough profit to drive people mad, one's own kind could sometimes be more terrifying than a monster.
The spaceship sped through the clouds, the scenery on both sides turning into blurry streams of color. About half an hour later, Chen Fei, standing at the front of the deck, suddenly focused his gaze.
In the far distance, where heaven and earth meet, a pitch-black outline, like a scar on the earth, gradually came into his view. Even from such a distance, he could still feel a chilling aura of chaos, violence, and profound darkness emanating from it.
That place is our destination, Kunyuan.
As the spaceship drew closer, the details of that dark outline became increasingly clear.
At this moment, the sky, spanning millions of miles around Kunyuan, was permeated with an intense, swirling, and turbulent dark demonic energy.
The demonic energy writhed like a living thing, constantly gushing out from the depths of Kunyuan, soaring straight into the sky, turning what should have been daytime into the dead of night, with only a faint ray of light visible on the far horizon.
"Compared to the last time I came, Kunyuan's aura has become even more violent."
Chen Fei carefully sensed the chaotic fluctuations that could be faintly transmitted even from a great distance. "At this moment, the intensity of the aura fluctuations on the outer edge of Kunyuan is probably just like the third level of Kunyuan before."
"It seems that the impact of the ancient celestial ruins was not just a simple matter of bringing the ruins to life."
Chen Fei felt a chill run down his spine. It had caused unimaginable impact and disturbance to the earth veins, spatial structure, and even the demonic energy and negative energy that had accumulated over countless years in Kunyuan, causing such a great change to this forbidden land.
The celestial vessel came to a steady stop about a hundred miles away from the churning, dark, demonic cloud wall.
It wasn't that they didn't want to get any closer, but the chaotic and violent energy field and spatial fluctuations ahead were strong enough to affect the stability of the Sky Ship.
Chen Fei stood at the edge of the deck, looking around.
Beneath the pitch-black sky stained with demonic energy, spanning hundreds of miles, were countless flying boats, ships, palaces, lotus platforms, and various flying magical artifacts and mounts.
They vary in size and shape, radiating different brilliance and aura, silently floating in the air like a strange group of islands suspended on a dark sea.
These were the various sects and aristocratic families from all over the Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty who had rushed here upon hearing the news. For the sake of the ancient Heavenly Court ruins, almost every force capable of getting involved had dispatched its forces.
Even a cursory glance revealed thousands of auras belonging to the Tai Cang Realm. And this doesn't even include those Tai Cang Realm cultivators who deliberately concealed their auras or remained hidden under powerful protective barriers.
The actual number is likely much higher.
"As expected, a gathering of powerful figures..." Chen Fei thought to himself.
