"It seems like I should hurry up as well …"
He had already spent around ten hours in the three dimensions. If someone had really entered the Subordinate Hall, the treasures would have long been snatched clean.
He had to hurry up. He couldn't continue searching for the exit and the entrance like this.
Raising his head to look at the Otherworldly Demons, Zhang Xuan saw that they were nearing the end of arranging the treasures according to a special arrangement. Knowing that he couldn't afford to waste any more time, he placed his finger on the thin thread that was trapping his meridians.
Weng!
With a jolt, a book suddenly materialized in the Library of Heaven's Path.
Zhang Xuan quickly flipped it open, and knowledge flowed into his mind.
"Soulstealing Lock, a Great Sage artifact forged from the tendons of the Primordial Nether Fish, a Sempiternal realm consummation saint beast. Even a Sempiternal realm consummation cultivator would find it difficult to escape from it. Flaws: … "
Reading through the content, Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
Just as he had guessed, it was indeed a Great Sage artifact that was trapping the Otherworldly Demons. If they had attacked the black-armored Otherworldly Demons instead of being captured, the black-armored Otherworldly Demons could have easily slaughtered Hu Yaoyao and the others with a single thought!
"I should deal with this thing first …"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan activated the Eye of Insight and began deducing the flaws of the artifact.
Huala!
With a thought, Zhang Xuan flicked his soul lightly on the thin thread, and his zhenqi immediately broke the seal on the artifact, allowing him to flow freely once more.
However, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he turned to the old man and sent a telepathic message over. "Elder, do you want to kill these Otherworldly Demons while you're at it?"
The old man was taken aback.
The fact that Zhang Xuan was able to send a telepathic message meant that his cultivation wasn't sealed.
Fearing that the Otherworldly Demons might overhear his words, Zhang Xuan instructed, "Don't speak, just listen to my instructions. I have a surge of zhenqi here. Listen to my command and release it on the thin thread on your wrist!"
Understanding this, the old man nodded.
"If we want to break this rope that's trapping us, we'll need ten people working together. In a moment, send your zhenqi over there!"
Zhang Xuan placed his finger on the old man's finger and sent several surges of zhenqi over.
The only way to deal with this Great Sage artifact was to assimilate it and make it his own. The way to assimilate it was to tap on all ten of its flaws simultaneously. Since everyone was trapped, Zhang Xuan did not dare to make a move yet. Thus, he could only make use of their hands to drive his zhenqi.
"Alright!"
The old man responded and used himself as a bridge to transmit his True Qi forward.
The person who received the zhenqi was taken aback for a moment before he heard Zhang Xuan's telepathic message.
Knowing that this was their only chance at survival, no one dared to waste any time. Swiftly making their way around the area, they arrived before Hu Yaoyao.
"It's you …"
Hearing the voice and feeling the zhenqi flowing through her body, the appearance of a young man surfaced in Hu Yaoyao's mind, and her body jolted in astonishment.
"Xuan Zhang … Zhang Xuan! As expected, it's this fellow … "
Recalling the other party's name, Zhang Xuan smiled.
If it was this guy, he should be safe.
Even though Zhang Xuan had gone to the Terpsichore Guild after leaving the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, he still knew quite a bit about the affairs of that person.
In just a few short months, he had already made such a name for himself on the continent. How could anything happen to the others when he personally made a move?
"Alright, everyone, listen to my command. Let's do it together. You must release your True Qi at the position that I say. There must be no mistakes!"
Someone had already recognized him and sent a telepathic message over. Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up. "Begin!"
After saying those words, he tapped his finger lightly on the thread on his palm.
The others who had received their zhenqi also tapped their finger on the thread.
Weng!
The thread swayed a little, and the spirituality within it swayed a little. A thought was transmitted over.
Submit!
"Protect the others. If anyone attacks, help them fend them off!"
After relaying his command, Zhang Xuan turned his gaze back to the Otherworldly Demons before him.
They continued setting up the altar, and roughly ten minutes later, they finally came to a halt.
Even though their faces were fatigued, there was a glint of excitement in their eyes.
"Reporting to Lord Zhang, the altar has been set up, and we can activate it at any time," one of the Otherworldly Demons said as he clasped his fist.
"Good. Prepare to begin!"
The black-armored Otherworldly Demon nodded. With a flick of his wrist, a cold crystal reminiscent of a block of ice fell at the center of the altar. Weng! A brilliant light gradually enveloped the entire altar, and a majestic energy began to spread to the surroundings.
"Could this be the artifact used to guard the World of Ice?"
A hint of doubt surfaced in Zhang Xuan's eyes.
The guardian of the Forest World was the Five Monarchs whereas the guardian of the Desert World was the Berserk Sand Tree.
He had yet to find the exit to the World of Ice, but judging from the fact that the cold crystal seemed to be compatible with the environment and was even able to tap into the energy of the world, it should have the same effect as the Five Monarchs and the Berserk Sand Tree.
Since the guardian of the World of Ice could be a saint beast or a plant, there was a possibility that it could be an ore as well.
Weng weng weng!
With the activation of the altar, the energy of the ore grew stronger and stronger. A brilliant ray of light shone into the sky, tearing the space above it apart.
This world had a thirty-meter radius around it, and the ray of light came to a halt. No matter how much it struggled, it was unable to move at all.
"Incinerate!"
With a grim expression, the black-armored Otherworldly Demon tapped his finger once more, and the altar began to spin. As if ice cubes placed on a hot pan, the artifacts on it began to melt, emanating even greater energy.
Under the augmentation of these energies, the ray of light seemed to be breaking through some kind of barrier, and with a deafening rumble, it slowly crept upward.
Pitch-black cracks appeared in the space beneath the ray of light, and the entire World of Ice trembled non-stop, as if it would be pierced through at any moment.
"Is this … the Spatial Seal?"
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in astonishment.
He had been thinking about how he could break through space to find the location of the Temple of Confucius, but who could have thought that it would be such a method?
As it turned out, the Spatial Seal was actually a more stable form of spatial laws. Only by breaking it would he be able to enter the Subordinate Hall.
Huala!
As more and more artifacts were consumed on the altar, the ray of light rose higher and higher. Before long, it had already surpassed fifty meters!
Sixty meters!
Seventy meters!
Eighty meters!
…
Ninety-nine meters!
At this point, it felt as if he had reached the end of the sky. A thin seal appeared before his eyes, and it emanated a dazzling radiance.
The ray of light fell on the seal, but it was unable to break through it.
A huge temple was faintly discernible, as if it was hidden behind it.
"It's indeed the Temple of Confucius!"
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization as he turned his gaze back to the altar.
At this moment, all of the artifacts had been consumed, and the might of the ray of light was beginning to wane.
"Prepare yourselves. Release the zhenqi of these people to worship the Spirit God!"
The black-armored Otherworldly Demon bellowed coldly, seemingly knowing that such a situation would occur.
Hualala!
A towering Otherworldly Demon walked up to the back of the crowd, and a bizarre artifact materialized in the air.
