What is an immortal?

Chapter 515: Mother and Child Formation


Yuan Ming and his group continued forward, the passage soon came to an end, and they were met with a tall, black stele. Engraved with numerous cloud patterns, it bore a large "Immortal" character written in ancient seal script.

The group halted their steps, sizing up the stele, probing it with their Divine Sense. Upon discovering nothing unusual, they moved past the stele and a golden hall appeared before them.

The interior of the hall was exceptionally spacious, with only a stone platform located in the center, upon which a silver-white round Array was set up. The dense patterns were complex to behold, very similar to the Array Patterns in the Void Temple and the True Sea Hall, evidently another Teleportation Array.

However, a corner of the Array was damaged, its patterns dull and lightless.

Golden Cloud Fairy walked over, took out various materials, and began to repair the Array Patterns as if she had known about the condition beforehand.

Tu Sheng and Daoist Qian Bao appeared behind Golden Cloud Fairy in a flash, casting vigilant glances towards the others.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Yun, Thousand Treasures, what's going on here? Weren't there supposed to be a plethora of treasures inside the hall? Why is there no trace of them, did you deceive us?" Zhong Ling asked in a hoarse voice.

She, along with Hua Ping and Baili Zhui, were close friends who grew up together, having made a pact before entering the Secret Realm to not take unnecessary risks. They stayed behind on this adventure out of greed for the treasures inside the hall. Now with Hua Ping and Baili Zhui dead, Zhong Ling couldn't allow their deaths to become a joke and leave empty-handed.

"Fellow Daoist Zhong, rest assured, although there are no treasures in this hall, this Transmission Array leads to the greatest treasure in the East Sea," Daoist Qian Bao said.

"Three Immortal Island?" Zhong Ling said slowly.

"Exactly," Daoist Qian Bao answered with a slight hesitation, nodding.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling walked over to one side and sat down.

The others too had guessed where the Teleportation Array led to, and now that it was confirmed by Daoist Qian Bao, excitement was evident on their faces. They all took their positions nearby, protecting Golden Cloud Fairy as she worked.

Yuan Ming stood off to the side, directing his first soul to descend with his Divine Sense, surveying the interior of the hall, trying to find some concealed items.

However, after searching, he found that the hall, aside from the Array, was truly empty, concealing nothing at all.

"How stingy, to have such a grand hall and not place anything good inside," Yuan Ming muttered in his heart, his expression suddenly shifting.

Golden Cloud Fairy's knowledge of the situation in the hall, even the fact that the Teleportation Array was broken and that she specifically brought items for repairs, clearly indicated that she had obtained information through some channel before coming here.

Yuan Ming's Divine Sense reached towards the silver Array. Buried beneath the Array were four silver Stone Pillars, filled with pure Space Power, distinctly different from the Space Power stored beneath the Void Temple and the True Sea Hall.

As time passed, after half a day, the last Array Pattern was also repaired.

Golden Cloud Fairy stood up, took out a silver Token, which was the Teleportation Order, and made several virtual taps with her fingers.

Hum...

The Teleportation Array lit up brightly, spinning at high speed.

The others, seeing this scene, were overjoyed and prepared to leap into the Array.

Golden Cloud Fairy waved her hand, tossing the Silver Ancient Mirror she had on her, landing it precisely in the center of the entire Array, integrating with it.

Yuan Ming's Divine Sense was continuously sensing the Teleportation Array and distinctly felt that as the Silver Ancient Mirror merged with the Array it vanished from sight, turning into dozens of Silver Runes, which formed a smaller Array Map within the Teleportation Array, reflecting its light.

A stream of silver radiance burst forth from the surface of the mirror, spilling like quicksilver and instantly filling the entire Array.

Hums of "humming" rose, and the Teleportation Array shone even more brilliantly, upward rays of silver light pierced through the roof of the Three Immortals Hall and soared into the skies.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Yun, what are you doing?" Zhong Ling asked with a grave voice.

Golden Cloud Fairy did not answer, instead, she activated her Protective Treasure Light around her and was the first to leap into the silver light.

The bright silver light engulfed her figure, which quickly disappeared.

Daoist Qian Bao and Tu Sheng followed, one after the other, stepping in as well.

With a flickering gaze, Zhong Ling also jumped into the Array, followed by Xue Jiao, Bing Xin, and Yun Jiuxiao.

With a flash of silver, the four figures vanished, leaving only Yuan Ming, Long Chong, Qiong Yun, and Wulu in the large hall.

"We should hurry too, don't let them take all the advantages," Qiong Yun urged, leaping into the Array, with Long Chong closely behind.

Yet Yuan Ming remained standing where he was, clearly with no intention of entering the Array, and Wulu also stayed motionless.

Qiong Yun and Long Chong showed surprise, but before they could ask any questions, a dazzling flash of silver light occurred, and they were transported away.

"Brother Yuan, are you not going to Three Immortals Island? Or do you think there's something wrong with this Transmission Array?" Wulu looked over, seemingly also aware of Golden Cloud Fairy's recent actions.

"Of course, I intend to go, and there's nothing wrong with the Array. However, I have something to do right now, so Brother Wulu, you go ahead," Yuan Ming said.

"If that's the case, then I will go first. If we meet on Three Immortals Island, let's proceed as we have previously agreed," Wulu stepped into the Array, and his figure vanished in a flash.

"Finally, they're all gone, you told me to stay until the end for what purpose?" Yuan Ming walked up to the Array and waved his hand as he spoke.

Ripples of void fluctuation arose nearby, and the figure of Xi Ying suddenly emerged from thin air.

Xi Ying said nothing, taking out a silver orb Magic Treasure that flickered with spirit light like the ebb and flow of the tide.

She activated the Treasure Bead, and a crystal light struck the Array, turning into layer upon layer of ripples undulating within the Array.

"Just as I thought, it's the Yin Yang Mother-Child Array," Xi Ying nodded and said.

"Yin Yang Mother-Child Array?" Yuan Ming asked, not understanding.

"This is a type of 'nested array' in arrays, simply put, it's when two Arrays are connected together. With your intelligence, you should be able to guess which Array the Golden Cloud Fairy has connected this one to, right?" Xi Ying looked over.

"The ancient Transmission Array on Fusang Island?" Yuan Ming's thoughts raced as he slowly spoke.

"Correct, this must be the plan of the old folks from Fusang, Jin Ao, Kongling, and Di Hua islands. Those Nascent Soul cultivators cannot enter the Secret Realm, so they thought of this method to enter Three Immortals Island," Xi Ying said with a light snort.

"Then what are your plans? Are you going to destroy their plan?" Yuan Ming asked.

"There's no need for that; I have another plan." Xi Ying threw the silver orb she held into the Array.

The silver orb merged into the interior of the Array, turning into a stream of silver radiance that coiled around the Yin Yang Mother and Child Array Diagram.

Yuan Ming's face showed a look of surprise, and just as he was about to ask Xi Ying the meaning of her actions, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Xi Ying asked, seeing this.

"Someone else is coming. Eh, these four people are all wearing Blood Puppet Armor! This isn't good, they're all Nascent Soul cultivators, I fear they're not here with good intentions. We need to leave quickly!" Yuan Ming grabbed Xi Ying and leaped into the Array.

A dazzling burst of silver light exploded, and the two figures vanished.

Just after the two had teleported away, four Blood Shadows appeared within the hall. It was Yuan Wuji and his companions.

...

At the same time, the ancient Transmission Array on Fusang Island was also buzzing, lighting up with a silver glow. Within the silver radiance, a small Array Map appeared, exactly the Yin Yang Mother and Child Array Diagram.

"Hehe, not bad, they've activated the Transmission Array," the Island Master Wan Tianren's eyes revealed a look of delight, and he too threw the silver ancient mirror in his hand into the Array.

A silver light gushed out like a fountain, becoming a soaring brightness, but was blocked by the forbidden enchantments of the Void Temple.

"We shouldn't delay any further, let's go in now," Tu Shixiong urged hastily.

"Hmm." Wan Tianren nodded, and several people stepped onto the ancient Transmission Array.

The Yin Yang Mother-Child Array could only sustain transmission once, so there was no need to worry that after they left, other people would use this Array to also enter Three Immortals Island.

Wan Tianren took out a Teleportation Order, ready to teleport away.

But just at that moment, ripples of void fluctuation arose nearby, and four figures materialized out of thin air.

The front two, one a middle-aged man with white, unblemished skin and a gloomy temperament, the other a man around thirty in a cyan robe, with an average build and square face, distinguished eyebrows—it was none other than Jia Sifang and Ni Mu.

As for the two behind them, a man and a woman, they were Wu Yuezhi and the stunning young woman who had appeared at the Shura Palace together previously.

As soon as Jia Sifang appeared, he immediately raised his right hand, pointing casually towards the ancient Transmission Array.

A surge of rolling black evil energy, tangible as reality itself, rushed toward the ground-bound ancient Transmission Array, and a silver talisman mixed within the evil energy turned into a streak of light, striking one corner of the Transmission Array.

The entire Transmission Array shook violently, a powerful Space Power appeared out of nowhere, locking the five people within the center of the Array, and the transmission capability of the ancient Transmission Array was also sealed.

Above the locked Array, a silver "Prohibition" rune floated, seemingly hanging in isolation but in fact tightly connected to the entire Array.

Wan Tianren's face changed drastically, his body's mighty Mana surged, attempting to break the Prohibition Rune. Yet the entire Transmission Array began to shake as if Wan Tianren was attacking the Array itself.

"Haha, Island Master Fusang, your Mana is indeed formidable, I am far from your match. Still, it's better not to move recklessly since you're standing within the Transmission Array. This ancient Transmission Array is quite fragile, it cannot withstand the overwhelming Divine Skills of you gentlemen," Jia Sifang laughed.

"You're Jia Sifang, how dare you trespass into the forbidden ground of my Fusang Island!" Wan Tianren quickly stopped his Mana, shouting sternly.

They had been focused on breaking the Three Immortals Hall's forbiddances and were elated with the opening of the Transmission Array, slackening their vigilance for a moment, and they hadn't noticed these people sneaking in.

Although they still didn't know Jia Sifang and company's purpose, their appearance at this crucial moment was definitely not with good intentions.

Destroying the Prohibition Rune would be easy, but it could also destroy the ancient Transmission Array. They had been plotting to enter Three Immortals Island for a long time, and they couldn't let their efforts go to waste.

"With just one talisman, it's impossible to have such strong restraining power. You must have tampered with this ancient Transmission Array beforehand, haven't you?" The red-robed middle-aged man with a flash of golden light in his eyes, spoke calmly as if uninvolved.

"Are you Senior Jin Chao? Indeed, as sharp as thunder, you saw through my little trick at a glance," Jia Sifang seemed very wary of the red-robed middle-aged man, and his words were very polite.

"When the ancient Transmission Array is not in use, it's sealed by Fusang Island's Array, strictly forbidding anyone to approach. When did you get close to this Array? Could it be during the time when the Array was being tuned?" Wan Tianren furrowed his brows, then seemed to recall something.
