Chapter 257 Extra - Teleportation Array (1/2)

In the dim space, faint ripples spread out.

The fluctuation came so quickly that Ruan Tang thought the feeling she had just experienced was just an illusion.

Just as Yan Yu and the two sacred beasts formed a soul contract, the energy field of the cave reached its peak.

Ruan Tang's senses became exceptionally sharp, and she clearly detected that something was amiss.

Her gaze passed over the nest and landed on the shadowy corner behind the two divine beast eggs.

Before she died, the Cursed Shell Maiden tried to attack the dragon egg, but the fluctuation just now seemed to come from a deeper place, as if something had been awakened by this change.

Just as Yan Yu had stabilized the surging power within him, he felt the person in his arms stiffen.

He followed Ruan Tang's gaze.

There was nothing there except for dragon bones and ore lying quietly in the dim light.

Yan Yu never doubted Ruan Tang's intuition.

"What's wrong?" he whispered in her ear.

“There’s something there.” Ruan Tang raised her hand and pointed in that direction, her tone very certain.

Yan Yu did not hesitate.

His will was instantly transmitted to the golden dragon and the thunder-patterned Xuanwu through the soul contract.

"roar--"

"Hmm—"

The two giant beasts growled and moved their massive bodies, making way for them to reach the depths of their lair.

The light shone in, clearly revealing the previously blocked area.

Ruan Tang and Yan Yu walked over side by side.

The ground beneath my feet was covered with years of accumulated dragon bone fragments and mineral powder, which felt a bit soft when I stepped on it.

Ruan Tang squatted down.

Her fair fingers hovered in the air without touching the ground, but her divine sense had already transformed into countless threads, probing inch by inch into the depths of the earth.

Found it!

What lies beneath the earth is not a layer of rock, but an energy structure.

It is complex, but it is already dilapidated.

Countless energy threads intertwined to form a tattered net, exuding an ancient, desolate, and unstable aura.

"Ayu, move these bones away." Ruan Tang stood up, her voice trembling slightly.

Yan Yu didn't ask any further questions and simply waved his hand.

An invisible force swept across, precisely pushing aside the dragon bones and ore in that area.

The exposed ground made Ruan Tang hold her breath.

A massive array.

It was carved directly onto the rock of the cave, with mysterious patterns, each stroke containing spatial laws, far beyond what Ruan Tang could understand at the moment.

But it was too badly damaged.

Many of the key patterns have faded, and several core array eyes are covered with cracks, so they would shatter with the slightest touch.

"This is... a teleportation array."

Ruan Tang knelt down, her fingertips gently tracing the cold, etched marks.

An ancient aura emanated from her fingertips, carrying the power of space.

The antiquity and power of this formation far surpassed any formation she had ever seen.

"Can it be repaired?" Yan Yu asked.

Ruan Tang first shook her head, then nodded.

She stood up.

"It can't be repaired. Its foundation lies in the wear and tear of the spatial laws. Although adding spirit stones will allow it to function, it probably won't have the same effect as before."

She paused, her voice low, "But, Ah Yu, I think... I know what this is."

"This is the teleportation array we've been looking for, the one that leads directly to other continents."

The teleportation array that appeared when the secret realm closed was actually hidden in this place.

"Ah Yu, I guess that after the secret realm ended, it was probably after the seawater flooded in that the spiritual energy surged and sent the teleportation array up."

"But this teleportation array is damaged now. I don't know if we can accurately teleport back to the location of the Beast Taming Sect on Nanli Continent when it is activated."

"We could also be teleported to other continents, or worse, thrown into a spatial rift."

Ruan Tang's voice was somewhat somber. The teleportation array in front of them was the fastest way back to the Beast Taming Sect, but it could also be a deadly choice.

Just then, a loud boom resounded, and the entire Dragon's Rest Ruins began to shake violently.
