Chapter 533: Teleportation Array

He exclaimed inwardly, the owner of this Cave Abode was truly formidable, to be able to control the Spiritual Qi inside and outside the cave with such precision! No wonder that outside the cave, one could not feel the richness of the Spiritual Qi here at all!

Walking forward for another stretch, passing through a long and narrow passage, the view suddenly opened up! A Cave Abode hall that was several hundred zhang wide appeared! A night-luminescent pearl hung from the ceiling of the cave, illuminating the entire hall as if it were broad daylight!

There was almost no furniture in the hall, only a stone bed placed near one wall, and a skeleton sat cross-legged on the stone bed! It seemed that this skeleton was the former owner of the Cave Abode!

There was not a single trace of damage on the skeleton; it must have passed away after its lifespan was exhausted! Taking a few quick steps, Zhang Nuo arrived in front of the skeleton. He saw that thick dust had fallen around the skeleton, but there were two places where things had clearly been placed, yet the items were gone. He figured they must have been taken away by that beautiful snake woman!

Just as Zhang Nuo turned to leave, Xuan Jin stared blankly at the skeleton for a long time without moving!

"Xuan Jin, what is it? Could there be something tricky about this skeleton?"

Discovering Xuan Jin's abnormal reaction, Zhang Nuo also stopped his steps!

"I feel like there is something inside the bones of the skeleton?"

Being born with a sensitivity to all kinds of metals, if Xuan Jin said there was something, then the thing inside the skeleton must be a metallic object! Perhaps it could be a Magic Treasure?

Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense swept over the skeleton, but he did not discover any abnormalities at all! With the strength of his Divine Sense, even penetrating into the interior of the bones would not be difficult!

His Divine Sense could not sense it, but Xuan Jin insisted there was something in the bones, so Zhang Nuo simply reached out and grabbed a bone, his five fingers exerting a light force!

With a 'whoosh' sound, the bone turned into powder, flowing slowly onto the ground through the gaps in Zhang Nuo's fingers!

"Not that one! It's this one!"

A metallic luster flashed fiercely in Xuan Jin's eyes, and with a flash of Golden Light on his five fingers, he directly snatched the spine of that skeleton into his hand!

Zhang Nuo was somewhat surprised. He had scanned this spine with his Divine Sense no less than three or four times, and it was no different from the other bones! Why was Xuan Jin able to discover it all at once?

He saw the metallic light in Xuan Jin's eyes growing more and more intense, until it almost radiated outward!

"Master, it seems we have found a treasure this time! Although that demon snake took the things beside the skeleton, it overlooked this section of the spine!"

Constantly fiddling with the bone in his hand, Xuan Jin said excitedly.

"What exactly is this thing?"

Zhang Nuo was left completely bewildered by Xuan Jin; he truly could not see what was so strange about this section of the spine!

"If this piece of bone were called by its true name, it should be called 'Bone Gold'. It is what a cultivator absorbs in large quantities of hard metal while practicing a Body Refining Technique. On the surface, it looks no different from a bone, but in reality, it is extremely hard!"

As he spoke, Xuan Jin used the bone in his hand to strike the stone bed with force. With a loud 'rumbling' sound, the entire stone bed split open from the middle!

A sharp light flashed in his eyes; Zhang Nuo truly could not believe that a mere section of a cultivator's spine could have such great power! Taking the bone from Xuan Jin's hand, it felt somewhat heavy to the touch; it was indeed not the weight of a normal bone!

"It is indeed a wonder! According to what you said, this deceased cultivator must have at least cultivated their Body Refining Technique to the Refining Void Stage, otherwise, it would not have such an effect!"

With a turn of his thoughts, Zhang Nuo deduced the cultivation level of the skeleton!

"I am not too sure about that, but I once heard Chunyangzi say that when a Body Refining Technique reaches the later stages, relying on the technique alone is not enough; one must use Pills and special items to strengthen the physical body, otherwise it is impossible to achieve an Indestructible Body!"

Xuan Jin said.

"I have also heard Senior Chunyangzi mention this matter, but at the time my cultivation was too low, and I had no way to understand it. It seems these things are all true! And this cultivator did not refine all of their bones into this state; I imagine this method must be extremely difficult!"

Silently lowering his head, Zhang Nuo thought of his own Dharma-Body Dual Cultivation; it seemed this path was not so easy to walk! Moreover, he was currently trapped at the Spirit Transformation Initial Stage, almost unable to make any progress. If it weren't for Deng Tianlin telling him to find Luo Lie, he feared he would not have a breakthrough for hundreds of years!

Looking at the 'Bone Gold' in his hand, Zhang Nuo tossed it into his Storage Bag and searched the Cave Abode again, but there was nothing else useful left!

It seems the luck of the Lu siblings was really not very good! They finally discovered the Cave Abode of a powerful cultivator who had passed away, only to have the beautiful snake woman snatch the opportunity!

Just as Zhang Nuo turned to leave the Cave Abode, Xuan Jin called him back! He led him into a Stone Chamber inside the Cave Abode!

This Stone Chamber was several zhang in size, empty inside, and almost completely flat!

"Why did you bring me here?"

"Master, give me a few Mid-grade Spirit Stones!"

Ignoring Zhang Nuo's confusion, Xuan Jin asked him for Spirit Stones! Seeing the strange expression on Xuan Jin's face, Zhang Nuo took out several Mid-grade Spirit Stones and handed them to him!

Turning into a streak of Golden Light, Xuan Jin disappeared into the ground! A moment later, he appeared again! Just as Xuan Jin appeared, the entire Stone Chamber suddenly shook, and immediately after, rays of spiritual light emerged on the ground. These rays of light twisted and changed constantly, eventually forming lines of Fowen!

After the white Fowen were arranged according to a certain pattern, a Fowen Dharma Array actually appeared! Looking at the strange scene before him, Zhang Nuo widened his eyes and could not speak for a long time! Inside this seemingly unremarkable Cave Abode, a profound Dharma Array was actually hidden! Judging by its appearance, it should be a teleportation array!

"Xuan Jin, how did you discover it?"

"When I was sneaking underground, I accidentally discovered that there was a large teleportation Dharma Array beneath this Stone Chamber. Because this array had been here for a long time, its Spiritual Qi had long since been exhausted and it could not be activated! That's why I thought of asking you for Spirit Stones to activate it and see!"

While listening to Xuan Jin, Zhang Nuo was deep in thought! Since it was a teleportation Dharma Array, why bury it underground? It was clear that the owner of the Cave Abode did not want others to know that there was a Dharma Array here! From this, it seemed that the other end of this array must hold significant mysteries!

"Xuan Jin, come back! Let's go over and take a look!"

With his curiosity piqued, Zhang Nuo flicked his sleeves, letting Xuan Jin crawl back, and then he leaped onto the Dharma Array. As the Fowen Dharma Array flashed with spiritual light, Zhang Nuo's figure disappeared from within the array!

After feeling a wave of dizziness, Zhang Nuo's figure appeared in an underground cave! Stepping off the array, before the dizziness from the teleportation had passed, he quickly released his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings and, finding no danger, he steadied his mind!

With a circulation of the 'Inner Scene Art' in his body, the dizziness caused by the Dharma Array's teleportation vanished. Looking around, he saw that this was a long, narrow passage, pitch black all around, without even a glimmer of light! However, with Zhang Nuo's cultivation, even in the dark, his eyes could see everything!

Taking a deep breath, he felt that the air here was very damp; he figured he must be at a very deep underground location! There was even a hint of moisture in the air! The Spiritual Qi here was extremely thin; it could be considered a desolate place!

Frowning, Zhang Nuo really did not understand why the owner of the Cave Abode would build a teleportation Dharma Array here! Looking up at the passage, he opened his mouth slightly, and then a phoenix cry was heard. The dark red firebird transformed by the Red Glow Fire circled in front of him and then quieted down!

For the sake of safety, Zhang Nuo let the firebird lead the way while he walked behind it, stepping on the somewhat water-logged ground as he entered the passage!

Since he had already come this far, he had to get to the bottom of it! In any case, many years had passed since the Cave Abode was built, so even if there were any Restrictions in this underground cave, they should have long since failed!

The firelight emitted by the Red Glow Fire spirit illuminated the surroundings, and at the same time, Zhang Nuo kept his Divine Sense wide open, constantly probing the path ahead!

After walking for about half an incense stick's time, Zhang Nuo saw a glimmer of light ahead, and at the same time, a not-so-weak fluctuation of Spirit Power came over. His heart tightened, and he became even more cautious!

When he arrived at the light, Zhang Nuo was stunned! Those lights were a huge pale red Restriction, sealing the path forward! Even his Divine Sense could not penetrate it!

On the surface of the Restriction, a blue electric arc would occasionally flash! It emitted a soft 'zhi' sound, which seemed extremely piercing in this silent cave!

With a thought, Zhang Nuo had the Red Glow Fire spirit release a flame attack, which struck the pale red Restriction screen! To his great surprise, the flames that hit the pale red Restriction were directly absorbed by it, disappearing without a sound or leaving a single trace!

It was as if it had never been attacked at all! Zhang Nuo gasped in the damp air! This was the first time he had seen such a strange Restriction! It could actually absorb attacks!

Raising his hand, he unleashed a Flying Sword. With a 'swish', the Flying Sword also submerged into the Restriction, and he instantly lost his mental connection with it!

This time, he panicked a little! The Flying Swords in the Nine Dragon Sword Case were a set; if one was lost, he would naturally lose its power! Especially since the materials used for these Flying Swords were special, it would be impossible to replace them!

After a bout of great anxiety, he even felt some regret that he shouldn't have used the Flying Sword to attack the Restriction in front of him! Gritting his teeth slightly, Zhang Nuo walked to the front of the Restriction, a gray mist of light flashed on his hand, and he pressed his hand directly onto the Restriction!

But what made him feel surprised was! This Restriction did not resist at all, as if there were another space on the other side of it! The previous attack from the Red Glow Fire spirit and the Flying Sword seemed to have all gone into the space on the other side!
