Chapter 639 Teleportation Hall
"Elder, how confident are you that they will succeed on this mission?" Outside the hills, the Blue Venerable, who had already returned, approached the Elder and asked.
“During the last upheaval in the underground palace, not a single guard stationed inside escaped. Therefore, apart from the Nirvana Saint Ancestor who later went in to suppress it, no one knows what the situation inside is like. As for sending people in this time, it can only be considered a temporary measure,” the Grand Elder sighed.
"However, the restrictions in the underground palace are connected to the ancient seal. As long as they can bring the array plate to the location, those restrictions can be revived on their own, which will also greatly help the ancient seal to restore its power."
"Of course, how many people will succeed is up to fate." Another elder chimed in.
......
The canyon was not as unfathomably deep as it appeared on the surface. After Lu Yuan and his group flew down for about a thousand feet, a soft white light appeared below.
But as soon as they passed through, the demons immediately felt as if a tremendous force was pressing down on them, and they plummeted rapidly toward the ground.
Fortunately, the light was not too high, and after a moment of panic, the demons, relying on their innate strength, managed to land firmly on solid ground.
However, Lu Yuan relied on his powerful cultivation to maintain his aerial flight technique and slowly landed on the ground.
This action naturally drew the attention of the surrounding demons. Although they were not familiar with Lu Yuan, the demons always respected the strong, and at this moment they couldn't help but feel more awe and doubt towards him.
Lu Yuan remained calm as he glanced around and discovered that this was a giant plaza paved with crystal-clear white jade, covering an area of over a hundred acres. At intervals along the ground, fist-sized crystal beads were prominently embedded, illuminating the area as if it were daytime.
Around the square, there are seven or eight winding paths that lead to who-knows-where.
Han Li's eyes flashed, and he looked up at the sky again.
High above, purple mist slowly surged in from all directions and rolled upwards into the canyon, making the area around the plaza appear somewhat dark and indistinct.
Under these circumstances, naturally no one dared to make a rash move. Many even turned their attention to Lu Yuan, since the Grand Elder had personally instructed him to lead the team to the teleportation hall before departure. Moreover, judging from his performance just now, Lu Yuan was undoubtedly the strongest among them.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, looked at several paths, and finally his gaze settled on a relatively straight path, on which a faint spiritual light flickered, making it different from the other paths.
Recalling the map of the underground palace he had seen before setting off, Lu Yuan felt somewhat reassured, confirming that this path led to the teleportation hall.
"This is the road, but the anti-flying restrictions here are several times stronger than outside. To fly, you need to have strength no weaker than a Venerable. So please bear with us and walk."
But just in case, please remember to avoid making any noise.
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he summoned the Myriad Laws Disc and suspended it above his head. Then, he lightly touched the ground with both feet, lifting himself off the ground by a few inches, and walked silently toward the path.
Seeing this, everyone used their own methods to follow closely behind.
The group was enveloped in a layer of gray mist, and without making any unusual noise as they moved, they disappeared into the square like ghosts along the path.
The road is lined with a cluster of tower-like buildings, with one four-sided tower after another standing on both sides of the road.
The tower has a simple and ancient design, and its surface is covered with some simple ancient runes, giving it an unusually ancient and weathered feel. It is obviously thousands of years old.
The group traversed several underground palace areas in one go, but nothing strange happened, and they didn't see any trace of the ferocious insects, which made everyone feel relieved.
After walking like this for most of the day, we finally saw an ordinary small square at the end of the road.
Across the square, a grand hall covering several acres stood prominently. The hall's doors were tightly shut, and a plaque above the door bore the three large characters 'Teleportation Hall' inscribed in magical script.
Upon seeing this, a hint of excitement flashed in everyone's eyes.
Lu Yuan led the way across the plaza and headed towards the hall.
As he drew near, he carefully raised his hand and waved it. The Myriad Laws Disc flashed with light, and dozens of restrictions were unleashed to protect his body.
Then, as the hall doors were slowly pushed open, an ancient and mysterious energy rushed out. The hall was dimly lit, with only the teleportation array in the center emitting a faint blue light.
As soon as they entered the hall, the eerie blue light flickered erratically, as if it possessed a spirit. Lu Yuan's gaze was wary as he carefully observed the area around the teleportation array. The others also dared not be careless, holding their breath and concentrating intently.
After confirming that there was no danger whatsoever, Lu Yuan's brows furrowed even more deeply.
His journey had been too smooth, which made him feel uneasy. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for the time being.
After a moment's thought, he addressed the group, saying, "We have arrived at the teleportation hall. As planned, you may now proceed to your respective areas separately."
After speaking, Lu Yuan stepped aside, indicating that he was not going to be the first to step into the teleportation array.
Seeing this, no one else dared to make a move, exchanging hesitant glances.
They've all cultivated to their current level, and each of them is incredibly shrewd. In this unfamiliar place, who would be willing to be someone else's stepping stone?
For a moment, the atmosphere inside the hall became somewhat tense.
Lu Yuan remained unhurried, standing quietly to the side. The others either whispered among themselves or remained on guard, all waiting for someone to take the first step.
Finally, after a stalemate that lasted for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, someone couldn't help but speak up.
"This dragging on isn't a solution, Fellow Daoist Lu. As the leader of this operation, shouldn't you take the initiative...?"
"Take initiative for what?"
Lu Yuan glanced at the demon and noticed that his cultivation level had also reached the late-stage peak. However, this guy was very cautious and stayed behind the group the whole time.
"The Elders' Council only asked me to bring you to the Teleportation Hall, but they didn't say anything else. Since you're all willing to linger here, I'm happy to keep you company. But don't forget that the 'Pseudo-Misty Pearl's' effect only lasts for three days, and almost a day has already passed."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall changed their expressions, and the demon even showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, falling silent.
The others also realized that time was running out, and began to look at each other and weigh the pros and cons.
A moment later, the demon who had spoken earlier seemed to be getting impatient.
However, he didn't want to be the first to enter the teleportation array. Instead, he directly summoned a strangely shaped demonic blade and aimed it at a creature covered in tentacles next to him.
