Chapter 461: Seven Stars Return to Position, Universe Sea Stabilizing

At the moment the partial solar eclipse reached its maximum, the sky presented an unprecedented dark purple halo, as if the entire firmament had turned into a mysterious scroll. The seven major planets returned to their positions perfectly, flickering with unusually bright light on this dark purple scroll, forming a precise heptagram pattern, just as described in ancient prophecies.

In the main array area, as the celestial phenomenon manifested perfectly, the light of the two Yin-Yang Dual-Colored Cores grew increasingly intense, and the speed at which they rotated in the air became faster and faster, until one could almost only see two intertwined shadows of light.

However, just as the ritual was about to reach its peak, the global attacks by the Void Believers and the abnormal fluctuations of Void Energy erupted simultaneously, and the entire energy transmission network suffered severe interference.

"The Southeast Asian node is completely disconnected!" a technician exclaimed, "Energy transmission in the European region has dropped by 50%, and the African region is suffering from a large-scale invasion of Void Energy!"

The Five Elements Lotus Mandala Array began to shake violently; the originally stable rune patterns appeared distorted and blurred, and the 108 Yogis surrounding it turned pale, sweat seeping from their foreheads, clearly under immense pressure.

"Array stability is only at 43%; a further drop will lead to a total collapse!" the voice of the array monitor was trembling.

Zhang Qingsong stood at the eastern node, his hands shifting through a series of complex hand seals, and a golden screen of light spread out from his body: "Secret Technique of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion—Supreme Golden Light Protection Array!"

Following closely, Sect Leader Shuang Yuekong of the Five Elements Dao Sect took charge of the west side: "Five Elements Primordial Art—Universe Sea Stabilizing Map!"

On the north side, the Rinpoche of the Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism chanted ancient mantras, and the Dharma Artifact in his hand emitted a crisp sound: "Vajra Guardian Wheel!"

On the south side, the high monk Palong from Thailand led numerous disciples in chanting in unison: "Great Compassion Guardian Vajra Array!"

The four top Practitioners each guarded one side, stabilizing the basic framework of the array, but the energy in the central area remained volatile.

Xu Feng made a prompt decision: "Mobilize the energy of the Mount Fuji Spiritual Vein with full force and concentrate it on the core area! Temporarily abandon energy allocation to all secondary nodes; everything must prioritize the main array!"

Battle reports from various places came through the communication system: "Three nodes in the North American region have been destroyed! The European region is encountering a large-scale invasion of Void Energy! The Australian defense line remains firm, having completely repelled the attack of the Void Believers!"

Li Xuanfeng's voice suddenly cut in: "The Void Vortex is expanding rapidly, and the energy intensity exceeds our predictions. This is not just an attack by the Void Believers; it is more like... the will of Yage is intervening directly!"

In the center of the array, the pure energy of the Mount Fuji Spiritual Vein formed a blue pillar of light, echoing the special light produced by the partial solar eclipse in the sky. Although the energy was volatile, with Xu Feng adjusting the energy allocation, the supply to the core area was maintained within a safe range.

At this critical moment, the two Yin-Yang Dual-Colored Cores suddenly stopped rotating, levitating to three meters in mid-air, standing perfectly still. Everything around seemed to suddenly quiet down, and even time seemed to have frozen for an instant.

The two cores began to absorb the energy of the celestial phenomenon, gradually turning from their original Yin-Yang dual colors to become completely transparent, like the purest crystal. Immediately after, they simultaneously burst forth with unprecedented seven-colored light, each ray representing a special energy attribute, echoing the celestial phenomenon of the Seven Stars Return to Position in the sky.

In the center of the seven-colored light, two blurred figures gradually appeared. One was tall and upright with a steady temperament; the other was petite, agile, and graceful.

"It's Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan!" tears of excitement shimmered in Xu Feng's eyes.

Lin Xuan's Spirit Body solidified first; he slowly opened his eyes, which flickered with light as deep and brilliant as the stars. He looked around, seemingly confirming his situation, and immediately after, a righteous aura burst forth from his body like thunder splitting the sky, grand in momentum yet steady and restrained.

This energy instantly spread out, and all the invading Void Energy, as if encountering a natural enemy, was rapidly dispersed. Holographic projections showed that the Void Vortexes across the globe began to shrink sharply, and the attacks launched by the Void Believers consequently fell into obvious chaos.

However, Xiao Yuan's Spirit Body remained in a semi-void, semi-solid state, like a mass of light mist; a human shape was vaguely visible but it never fully solidified.

Lin Xuan sensed Xiao Yuan's condition and reached out his arm, gently grasping her illusory Spirit Body: "Xiao Yuan, follow me, we are back."

Although his voice was gentle, it contained incomparable firmness and strength. Using his own newly stabilized spiritual power as a guide, Lin Xuan constructed an energy channel for Xiao Yuan, helping her Spirit Body gradually solidify.

With Lin Xuan's help, Xiao Yuan's Spirit Body slowly became clear, and finally, she opened her eyes, looking at Lin Xuan with tears in them: "Are we... really back?"

"Yes, we are back," Lin Xuan answered tenderly.

The energy fluctuations of the two reuniting their Spirit Bodies spread like ripples to every corner of the globe; all areas polluted by the Void were purified at this moment, and the attacks launched by the Void Believers failed due to the deterrence of this pure spiritual power. Practitioners all over the world felt this warm and powerful energy, and countless people shed tears of excitement involuntarily.

Xu Feng looked at Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan, feeling incomparably relieved, but he soon noticed a trace of confusion in Lin Xuan's expression.

"What's wrong?" Xu Feng asked cautiously.

Lin Xuan shook his head gently: "My memories are complete, but my cultivation... seems to have been entirely lost. I am now like a newborn mortal, needing to embark on the path of cultivation from the very beginning."

Xiao Yuan also nodded to express the same feeling: "It is the same for me; although I remember everything, the spiritual power and cultivation within my body have disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief: "As long as you are back, everything else is a small matter. Cultivation can be practiced again, but your very existence is the greatest hope for resisting the Void."

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, a flash of determination in his eyes: "That's true, it is only a matter of practicing again; we have already walked this path once, what does it matter to walk it again?"

At this time, the array had completely stabilized, and the invasion of the Void was thoroughly dispelled. Zhang Qingsong and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, each putting away their Secret Techniques.

Lin Xuan opened his eyes, his vision gradually clearing from a blur. He found himself lying in a transparent recovery pod, surrounded by white walls, with various advanced medical monitoring equipment circling him, the screens displaying his vital sign data. In a trance, those memories of drifting in the void surged into his mind like a tide, and he finally realized—he had truly returned.

Turning his head slightly, he saw an identical recovery pod not far beside him; Xiao Yuan was lying quietly inside, her eyes closed, her face serene. The monitoring screen showed her vital signs were stable, only that she had not yet awakened.
