Chapter 1476: Chapter 879: Return to Gui Xu, Old Azure Dragon’s Shock (Part 2)
Lu Qing stood there motionless, as if transformed into a statue in the starry sky.
But if someone could see his eyes, they would discover countless runes flickering within them.
Those runes were densely packed, layered, constantly combining and evolving, as if undergoing some extremely complex deduction.
He was using his understanding of the Array to analyze the Big Array before him.
This was an extremely exhausting approach for his Heart and Spirit.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, just analyzing a corner of it would be enough to exhaust their Heart Power.
But Lu Qing was different, his Divine Thought was incredibly strong, and with the complete Array inheritance as a foundation, the analysis was slow, but not too troublesome.
Before long, a faint smile appeared on Lu Qing’s face.
He understood.
To be precise, he understood a part of it.
This Star River Formation was too mysterious, a true Transformation Realm level Array, and without the help of Superpowers, even with his current Array prowess, it couldn’t be completely deciphered.
But just finding a path in was enough.
That path was hidden in the gaps of the Array, intentionally left as a trace of vitality by the Gui Xu Taoist.
If someone completely unfamiliar with Arrays, they would not be able to discover its existence at all.
Even those who understand Arrays, without the Array inheritance of the Gui Xu Taoist, would also not find this path.
Only someone like him, with deep Array prowess and the inheritance of the Gui Xu Taoist, could find this path of the Star River Formation.
The next moment, Lu Qing’s figure disappeared from where he stood.
It wasn’t Space Shifting, but he directly slipped into the Star River Formation.
If it were other cultivators, entering the Array without an Identity Jade like this would surely suffer unimaginable attacks from the Array, plunging the intruder into a most dreadful situation.
But at this time, Lu Qing was like a wisp of a ghost, entirely integrated into the Array.
His form moved with the operation of the stars, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, each step landing on the nodes of the Array.
His aura merged with the fluctuations of the Array, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, sometimes urgent, sometimes slow, completely synchronized with the bright and dark changes of the starlight.
He seemed to become a part of this Big Array, not causing any reaction from the Array at all.
This is the profoundness of the Dao of Arrays.
Not to forcibly break the formation, but to conform to the Array, merge into the Array, allowing the Array to regard oneself as a part of it.
Lu Qing traversed through the Star River Formation, passing through numerous restrictions, crossing layers of spaces, heading toward the deepest part of the Big Array.
Soon, a light curtain suddenly appeared ahead.
Within the light curtain, a celestial palace stood towering in the center, jade towers and golden pavilions.
This is the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.
As Lu Qing looked at the light curtain, a sense of familiarity surged within him.
In the past, he and Little Li had also cultivated here for quite a long period.
Now, in a flash, several decades had passed.
Time flies so quickly.
Without hesitation, Lu Qing stepped forward, passing through the light curtain.
In the next moment, he had already entered inside the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.
The familiar spiritual energy greeted him, and the surrounding space became heavy and stagnant.
Everything was just as it was when he left.
The Immortal Palace still stood in the center of the secret realm, resplendent in its glory, seemingly unchanged.
And just as Lu Qing passed through the light curtain, a subtle spatial fluctuation rippled out.
This fluctuation was extremely faint, so faint that ordinary cultivators could not possibly detect it.
Even experts at the Unity Realm Stage would dismiss it as a breeze passing by, not paying it any mind.
But for the Old Cyan Dragon, who was proficient in the Space Dao, it was an unmistakable signal.
Within the Immortal Palace.
The Old Cyan Dragon lay in its lair, half-closing its eyes and dozing off.
To say it was dozing off was not entirely accurate as it wasn’t actually asleep.
At its realm, sleep was no longer necessary.
In the past, it, along with Ming Feng and others, had chosen to sleep simply because it was too boring.
However, since Lu Qing entered the secret realm, with anticipation in its heart, it didn’t want to continue sleeping.
In case Lu Qing came back while they were asleep, they wouldn’t be able to sense it promptly.
The Old Cyan Dragon lay there habitually, while closing its eyes to rest, using its Divine Thought to envelop the entire Gui Xu Secret Realm, sensing every movement within it.
As the actual controller of many Arrays within the returning Ruins Secret Realm, when not asleep, it remained incredibly sensitive to any spatial fluctuations within the secret realm.
This was both its duty and its instinct.
After all, the Returning Ruins Secret Realm was the last inheritance left by the Gui Xu Taoist, a place they three were to guard.
No slight breeze or rustling grass should be overlooked.
Even though it didn’t think anyone could intrude into the secret realm.
So when that faint spatial fluctuation occurred, the Old Cyan Dragon suddenly opened its eyes.
In its eyes, two beams of bright light suddenly burst forth.
At first, it was momentarily stunned, then its Heart and Spirit were greatly shaken.
Because the Returning Ruins Secret Realm at present was closed.
After Lu Qing left, they had completely sealed off the secret realm.
Unless one had an Identity Jade, it was utterly impossible to enter.
That Identity Jade was personally refined by the Gui Xu Taoist, each one connected to the origin of the secret realm, allowing only the holder to enter through the Array.
Otherwise, even a Transformation Immortal couldn’t quietly sneak in here.
Could it be that Ah Qing has returned?
The first thought that crossed the Old Cyan Dragon’s mind was this.
But it quickly felt something was amiss.
If Lu Qing had returned, he would surely use the Identity Jade to enter through the formal passage.
