Half a day later, Ning Youci's injuries finally healed.
"Let's go."
Ning Youci held Xu Chuan's arm and said affectionately.
"Mm, alright."
Xu Chuan nodded in response.
The two then prepared to leave the place together.
However, they had not gone far.
Suddenly, Xu Chuan noticed something that immediately drew his attention.
He looked not far away, and in the cracked earth, ten massive stone pillars had emerged.
Vaguely, it resembled a very ancient teleportation array.
After all, the ancient battlefield had existed for tens of thousands of years, so ancient formations within it were to be expected.
"Why would there be a teleportation array here?"
Xu Chuan was somewhat perplexed. Who would go to such great lengths to construct a teleportation array in this ancient battlefield?
Just looking at these ten stone pillars, one could tell that this teleportation array was extraordinary.
Because Xu Chuan, using his innate ability 'Insight into All Things,' discovered that these stone pillars were all crafted from Dun Kong Stone.
One had to know, Dun Kong Stone was an incredibly precious material. Many years ago, the Dun Kong Stone in the Eastern Region had already been depleted. He never expected to encounter it here.
As the primary material for constructing teleportation arrays, a finger-sized piece of Dun Kong Stone could fetch an exorbitant price of five million low-grade Origin Stones outside. Yet, before them stood ten massive stone pillars entirely made of Dun Kong Stone!
How could Xu Chuan not be astonished?
"I... I don't know either!"
Ning Youci was also somewhat shocked, her speech becoming incoherent.
As the princess of Great Wei, she had also recognized the material of these stone pillars and knew the preciousness of Dun Kong Stone.
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
Xu Chuan immediately took Ning Youci's hand and hurried towards the stone pillar teleportation array.
Such a fortunate encounter, why wouldn't they explore it!
When the two approached the stone pillars, they finally realized their immense size.
A single stone pillar was already as thick as three people embracing it, and its height reached over ten meters.
And there were ten of them in total!
These stone pillars had all emerged from the fractured ground due to the battle between Xu Chuan, Yang Sheng, and Shui Yi Chen earlier.
"These... can't be fake, can they..."
Ning Youci's eyes widened, clearly finding it difficult to believe.
"No!"
Xu Chuan shook his head. 'Insight into All Things' told him that this was indeed Dun Kong Stone.
Xu Chuan's hand gently brushed over the runes on the stone pillar, sensing their peculiarity.
These runes were the formation patterns of this teleportation array.
This ancient teleportation array was far more profound than current ones, and its formation patterns were much more complex.
It was highly valuable for research!
"I wonder if this teleportation array can still be activated?"
This thought suddenly crossed Xu Chuan's mind.
And once the thought appeared, he found it increasingly difficult to control himself, wanting to try it out.
Xu Chuan took out ten high-grade Origin Stones from his storage ring and placed them one by one into the grooves on the stone pillars.
"Xu Chuan, what are you doing?"
Seeing his strange actions, Ning Youci couldn't help but ask.
However, at this moment, Xu Chuan seemed possessed, completely ignoring Ning Youci's words and continuing his own actions.
At this point, even a fool could tell something was wrong.
Ning Youci quickly went to pull Xu Chuan, trying to stop him from proceeding further.
But at this moment, Xu Chuan was not someone Ning Youci could pull!
When Xu Chuan placed the last Origin Stone into the groove.
"Rumble!"
The stone pillar teleportation array began to emit rumbling sounds, and a circular formation pattern appeared in the center of these ten stone pillars.
Seeing this, Xu Chuan walked blankly towards the center.
No matter how Ning Youci called out or pulled, Xu Chuan remained the same.
Helplessly, Ning Youci could only stay tightly by Xu Chuan's side, fearing any accident might befall him.
A moment later, the formation pattern in the center suddenly lit up with a white light, engulfing Xu Chuan and Ning Youci.
Whoosh!
With a flash of white light, their figures disappeared from their original positions.
And after teleporting the two, the ten stone pillars, along with the formation pattern on the ground, instantly crumbled, turning into dust and vanishing from this world.
...
When the two reappeared, they were in a mysterious place, both having fallen unconscious.
Half a day later, Xu Chuan slowly regained consciousness and opened his eyes.
He scanned his surroundings, feeling bewildered. He had been studying a teleportation array, so how did he end up here?
Suddenly, he clearly felt a soft, supple body pressed beneath him, so resilient.
Such a sensation instantly stirred his heart and made his blood surge, being a complete novice.
"Xu Chuan, are you awake? Are you okay?"
At this moment, Ning Youci, who was beneath him, also woke up and asked weakly.
Anyone would be like this after being pressed down by someone for so long.
With the beauty in his embrace, Xu Chuan's mind became restless. He even had some improper thoughts, not even hearing what Ning Youci was saying.
"No... no, I'm not that kind of person..."
Xu Chuan struggled internally and finally decided not to take advantage of the situation.
He flipped over and stood up, circulating his cultivation technique to calm the desire within him.
"How did we appear here?"
Xu Chuan helped Ning Youci up and asked her in confusion.
"You seemed to be controlled by something, and you directly activated that teleportation array. I couldn't stop you at all, and then we were teleported away, and then we appeared here."
Ning Youci's body was still weak. She recounted the entire incident to Xu Chuan.
Only then did Xu Chuan recall some things.
Earlier, while he was studying the teleportation array patterns, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind, constantly tempting him to activate the teleportation array.
At first, he could resist the tempting voice, but later, he found himself completely unable to resist.
Thus, he activated the teleportation array.
He could not remember what happened afterward.
However, it was clear that the teleportation array had transported them to a mysterious place.
"Won't it be dangerous here?"
Ning Youci was somewhat afraid and clung tightly to Xu Chuan's side.
The environment they were currently in was clearly a cave. The cave lacked light sources, making it very dark.
This kind of environment was what Ning Youci feared the most.
At this moment, she completely forgot that she was a powerful martial artist in the Samsara Realm.
"Dangerous? It shouldn't... be..."
Xu Chuan was also uncertain.
"Don't move, I'll take a look around!"
Xu Chuan urged his Origin Power, and immediately a wisp of Solar True Fire appeared in his hand, illuminating the entire cave in an instant.
Only then could Xu Chuan see the full extent of the cave.
With the illumination of the fire, Ning Youci was no longer as afraid and curiously observed her surroundings.
"Huh, what's this?"
Xu Chuan walked towards a recess, within which lay something resembling a mechanism.
Xu Chuan reached out and pulled the mechanism.
"Be careful!"
Ning Youci warned.
When the mechanism was pulled, a secret door suddenly opened on one side of the cave.
Xu Chuan led Ning Youci inside.
A long passage appeared, and a brilliant radiance suddenly lit up on both sides.
The dazzling light made both Xu Chuan and Ning Youci instinctively raise their hands to shield their eyes.
