Chapter 299: Mysterious Frequency Band and the Summoning of an Unknown Dimension

Ling Yue and Lin Li piloted the modified Ashbone into battle, and the situation changed instantly. The Ashbone's massive energy beam rained down like droplets, disrupting the Correctors' formation. Lín Jìn and Ao Li seized the chance to launch a fiercer assault, the Abyss Return Ruler and the Sea of Life resonating, and for a moment the light flared, the Corrector soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

The Corrector officers, seeing the unfavorable turn, tried to organize a counterattack, but under the combined assault of the four, they gradually could not hold. In the end, the Corrector troops were routed and fled, leaving a devastated battlefield.

Lín Jìn and the others breathed a sigh of relief, exchanging glances filled with gratitude for having survived the disaster. Ling Yue and Lin Li descended from the Ashbone and reunited with Lín Jìn and Ao Li.

"You arrived just in time; otherwise we would have been in danger," Lín Jìn said gratefully.

Ling Yue smiled and said, "We sensed abnormal energy fluctuations here, guessed you might be in trouble, and hurried over."

Just as everyone was preparing to discuss the next plan, Lin Li's crystallized body suddenly emitted a strange light and launched a mysterious frequency band. This band oscillated at a special Pinqü, as if transmitting a message to some unknown place.

The group stared in amazement; Lin Li immediately activated the Ashbone's detection equipment to analyze the band. As the analysis deepened, her complexion grew increasingly solemn.

"This band points to a dimension never explored before, and…" Lin Li paused, a flash of surprise in her eyes, "the band contains the code Lin Yuan used while alive."

"Lin Yuan's code? How is that possible?" Ao Li exclaimed in surprise.

Lín Jìn furrowed his brows, lost in thought. "Could this be related to the contingency Lin Yuan left? Or perhaps another plot by the Observer and the Correctors?"

To uncover the truth, the group decided to follow the guidance of the mysterious frequency band and head to that uncharted dimension. They boarded the Ashbone, activated the ship, and raced along the band's direction.

During the flight, Lin Li kept trying to decode more information from the band, but progress was slow due to the code's complexity. Meanwhile, Ao Li continued studying the fetus in their womb aboard the ship, constantly worrying that the Observer genetic marker it carries might bring unforeseen consequences.

As the Ashbone drew nearer to the dimension indicated by the mysterious band, the surrounding space began to change oddly. The previously stable space rippled in layers, like a calm lake disturbed by a stone. Energy fluctuations grew stronger, and under this force the Ashbone's navigation became extremely difficult.

"Everyone hold on, the energy here is too unstable," Ling Yue gripped the ship's control stick tightly, focusing intently on the sudden anomalies.

Lín Jìn and the others channeled their cultivation to resist the surrounding energy pressure. While they strained forward, a massive energy barrier suddenly appeared ahead, blocking their path. The barrier radiated multicolored light, its surface flowing with mysterious runes; as the runes flickered, they emitted a powerful repulsive force.

"It seems this barrier is deliberately preventing us from entering," Lin Li said, looking at the data on the detection device.

Lín Jìn stared at the barrier, a hint of resolve flashing in his eyes. "Regardless, we must find a way to break through it. Perhaps the answer lies beyond the barrier."

With that, Lín Jìn grasped the Abyss Return Ruler, attempting to shatter the barrier with its power. The Abyss Return Ruler blazed brightly, and a Sword Qi imbued with immense force slashed toward the barrier. The Sword Qi struck, erupting in dazzling light, yet the barrier only trembled slightly and remained unbroken.

Ao Li, seeing this, also joined in. They wielded the power of the Sea of Life, condensing a massive radiant cannonball that hurled at the barrier. The cannonball collided with the barrier, producing a deafening roar, but the barrier stayed indestructible.

Ling Yue and Lin Li analyzed the barrier's energy structure aboard the ship, seeking a breach method. After effort, Lin Li discovered that although the barrier's energy was great, a brief weakness existed at a certain rune node.

"Lín Jìn, Ao Li, when the runes on the barrier flash in a specific sequence, that node will reveal an energy weak point; strike then, and you may break the barrier," Lin Li transmitted over the communication channel.

Lín Jìn and Ao Li nodded, focusing their spirits and awaiting the optimal moment. Finally, as the runes flickered in the prescribed order, Lin Li shouted, "Now!"

Lín Jìn and Ao Li launched their attacks simultaneously. The Abyss Return Ruler's Sword Qi and the Sea of Life's radiant power struck the barrier's weak point together. This time, the barrier shuddered violently, its rune light flickering erratically. Immediately, a small crack appeared, widening rapidly until the barrier shattered with a thunderous crash.

The Ashbone passed through the shattered barrier and entered the unexplored dimension. The scene there left everyone in awe. The entire dimension was bathed in a soft pale blue glow, with massive crystal mountain ranges scattered orderly, crystals flowing with multicolored energy. Countless stars hovered in the air, their arrangement seeming to embody a mysterious pattern.

"This dimension is beautiful, yet it exudes a mysterious aura," Ling Yue sighed.

Just as they prepared to explore further, a group of elf‑like creatures appeared before them. These elves were small, with transparent wings that glittered with crystalline light. Their eyes shone like gems, curiously surveying Lín Jìn and the others.

"Who are you? Why have you come to our dimension?" a slightly larger elf flew to Lín Jìn and asked in a clear voice.

Lín Jìn smiled and replied, "We are travelers from another dimension, drawn here by a mysterious frequency band. May we ask if you know its origin?"

The elves exchanged glances, a hint of worry in their eyes. "Mysterious frequency band? We have also sensed its appearance, but we do not know its origin. Since then, strange phenomena have begun to occur in our dimension."

"Strange phenomena? What phenomena?" Ao Li asked.

One elf frowned and said, "Some ancient ruins have started to emit light, as if responding to something. Moreover, we feel a hidden danger lurking in the shadows, as if something bad is about to happen."

Hearing this, Lín Jìn and the others felt a tightening in their hearts. It seemed this dimension concealed many secrets, and their arrival via the mysterious frequency band might have entangled them in an unknown crisis.

"May we examine those ancient ruins? Perhaps we can find clues," Lin Li suggested.

The elves hesitated, then finally nodded. "Very well, but you must be careful. The dimension has not been safe lately."

Guided by the elves, Lín Jìn and the others flew toward the ancient ruins. Along the way they witnessed many bizarre sights: gigantic flowers blooming in midair, their petals streaming golden liquid; and transparent rivers whose waters seemed gathered from starlight.

At last they arrived before the ancient ruins. The ruin was built from massive black stones etched with mysterious runes and patterns. Its great gate stood closed, and the plaza before it displayed odd statues of various shapes—some human, some beast, as if narrating ancient stories.

Just as they reached the ruin's entrance, the massive gate emitted a burst of light and slowly opened. A powerful suction surged from within, attempting to draw them inside…

What awaits them within the ruin? What secrets does the mysterious frequency band conceal? What role will Lin Yuan's code play? Everything is shrouded in the unknown…
