Mortal Cultivator: Lin Tianzun

Chapter 121 Lingshi Grand Canyon

Lin Fan came out of the underground palace, his spiritual energy surging around him. In a flash, he turned into a dazzling beam of light and flew towards the Lingshi Grand Canyon at lightning speed.

The light of escape swept across the sky, and the air flow roared and surged wherever it passed. The scenery of mountains and rivers along the way was like a dream bubble, flying backwards at an extremely fast speed.

Time passes quietly!

A few days later, Lin Fan finally appeared near the Lingshi Grand Canyon.

Looking up, the Lingshi Grand Canyon looks like a huge wound that was smashed into the earth by a giant in anger. A huge deep pit nearly a hundred feet deep underground stretches before your eyes. The pit walls are steep and dangerous, with strange rocks protruding and rugged. It is filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

Lin Fan's hands quickly made hand gestures like a butterfly flying through flowers, and the spiritual power at his fingertips was like a nimble snake, entwining and dancing with each other. In an instant, a thick layer of ochre spiritual light appeared around his body. In the light, runes flickered and jumped, which was the wonderful spell of the earth escape technique.

In the blink of an eye, his body seemed to be swallowed up by the earth and sank into the solid ground beneath his feet.

As soon as he entered the underground, Lin Fan was enveloped by endless darkness and deathly silence. The surrounding soil exuded a damp and heavy smell, and every inch of it felt like a heavy lead sheet, pressing against his body from all sides. Fortunately, with the spiritual power of the Earth Escape Technique, Lin Fan's spiritual power expanded a small space, preventing him from being buried by the thick earth.

As he moved forward, Lin Fan's powerful spiritual sense spread out like invisible tentacles in all directions, launching a thorough carpet search.

The underground world is like an intricate and tangled maze. Various minerals are intertwined with each other, forming a series of natural and solid barriers that hinder the exploration of spiritual consciousness. Every step forward is full of difficulties and unknowns.

Lin Fan had not been sneaking underground for long when his forward momentum suddenly stopped. A layer of translucent light shield appeared in front of him, completely blocking his way forward.

The moment his fingertips touched the light shield, a strange wave of spiritual energy surged up along them like a fine electric current. Lin Fan's heart suddenly trembled, and he immediately concluded that this was most likely a defensive barrier derived from the spiritual stone mine's protective formation.

This light shield seems invisible and intangible, but it is actually extremely tough.

As soon as Lin Fan exerted a little force, a powerful force rebounded back at him.

He walked slowly around the magic circle to examine it, taking each step extremely slowly, his eyes as sharp as torches, tightly locking onto every detail of the light shield, not missing any slight abnormality.

I saw runes flickering on the light shield, arranging and combining into complex and mysterious patterns, with a mysterious power flowing through them.

Time passed quietly. After about an incense stick's time, Lin Fan's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and a hint of unconcealable joy flashed in his eyes.

During his meticulous observation just now, he noticed that there was an extremely hidden flaw in the operating rules of the light shield rune.

As long as you resonate with it with specific spiritual power fluctuations at a specific time, you can open up a narrow passage and successfully enter the magic circle without triggering the alarm.

These steps can be explained in just a few words in theory and are not extremely complicated in practice. However, only a few people can actually do it.

This seemingly simple method is actually only effective for master-level array masters who are proficient in arrays.

Ordinary cultivators, even if they have a high level of cultivation, can only sigh in despair when facing this protective magic circle if they do not understand the principles of the magic circle. They will not be able to enter smoothly without disturbing the magic circle.

Lin Fan’s dealings with magic arrays are not something that can be done overnight.

Looking back, he had devoted himself to the study of magic arrays for over a hundred years. During these long years, countless days and nights had been spent immersed in the wondrous world of runes, repeatedly studying and pondering countless array texts, repeatedly exploring the mysteries of magic arrays, and personally dismantling, refining, and restoring countless complex arrays.

Such persistent and unremitting research and practice have enabled him to understand the magic array far beyond that of ordinary people, and he has long been awarded the title of array master.

In his eyes, although the protective magic circle of the spirit stone mine in front of him seemed to be as solid as a rock, in fact, its flaws were exposed under his sharp eyes.

Lin Fan raised his hand and slapped the storage bag cleanly and neatly. With a rustling sound, dozens of formation flags came out one after another, accompanied by a wave of spiritual energy.

The materials of these formation flags are very special and rare. The runes on the flags are flashing, and they have an ancient and mysterious luster. It is obvious at a glance that they are not ordinary things.

Then, Lin Fan quickly made hand gestures with both hands, his ten fingers moving nimbly like butterflies dancing among flowers, and the complicated hand gestures changed at his fingertips like flowing water.

At the same time, he was muttering something, and the low incantation seemed to come from the depths of ancient times. Every syllable was wrapped in powerful force, faintly resonating with the spiritual power of the surrounding heaven and earth.

Following Lin Fan's movements, the dozen or so formation flags seemed to be given fresh life. They flew into the air with a "whoosh" and quickly arranged themselves in a mysterious position.

In the blink of an eye, a complex and orderly formation took shape. Then, the flags began to spin at an extremely high speed, spinning faster and faster until they gradually turned into a series of afterimages.

But in just a moment, a dazzling ray of light burst out from all around the formation flag. This ray of light was brilliant and dazzling, like an indestructible sharp blade, and it penetrated directly into the spirit stone mine formation in front of it.

In an instant, the originally airtight magic circle seemed to be torn open by an invisible giant hand, and a small passage that was only wide enough for one person to pass through slowly emerged.

Seeing this, Lin Fan's eyes flashed with joy. He tapped his feet lightly, and like a black lightning, he took advantage of the moment when the passage opened and flashed into the magic circle without hesitation.

Behind him, the passage slowly closed, and everything returned to its original calm, as if nothing had happened.

He scanned the surroundings, carefully searching for the mysterious ancient teleportation array. In the original novel Lin Fan had read, this ancient teleportation array was hidden within a natural stalactite cave.

Lin Fan slowed down his pace, taking each step very lightly. The gravel under his feet made almost no sound under his deliberate control.

He walked along the winding mine tunnel. On the stone walls on both sides of the tunnel, the dark green moss emitted a faint fluorescence, barely illuminating the way ahead.

As we went deeper, the humidity in the air became higher and higher, and we could faintly hear the sound of dripping water, echoing in the empty mine tunnel, adding a bit of eerie feeling.

As he walked, Lin Fan keenly noticed a slight change in the airflow in front of him. He was delighted and quickened his pace to hurry over.

After turning a corner, the view suddenly opened up and a huge cave appeared in his sight.

Inside the cave, stalactites of various shapes hang down from the ceiling and grow upward from the ground, looming in the darkness like a group of dormant giant beasts.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, calming his slightly agitated mood. He strode into the cave, his eyes as sharp as an eagle in the darkness, scanning every corner. He silently muttered to himself, "Ancient Teleportation Array, I finally found you..."
