Chapter 739: The Endless Soul Stabilizing Array

Chapter 739: Chapter 739: The Endless Soul Stabilizing Array

The inner gates, engulfed in flames, bustled with activity.

Everyone carried basins and buckets of water, rushing towards the fierce flames.

Little did they know that their Sect Leader had already been taken by Lin Fan, and had left the inner residence.

"It’s up ahead!"

Zhou Tianxiong dared not show the slightest resistance.

After all, the other’s strength was beyond his reach.

He led Lin Fan and Xu Zhi Rou through the estate, eventually coming to a forest behind it.

Not long after entering, they arrived at a rock wall.

"There’s no path at all; how does this lead to the secret sect?"

Xu Zhi Rou eyed the rock wall before her with doubt.

The cliff, as if cleaved by an axe, seemed like a kitchen knife had split the earth.

The smooth rock offered no foothold, they surely couldn’t be expected to climb it.

"This is a secret passage... because the Shura Sect’s location isn’t simply amidst mountains and stones, but rather a secluded realm... Entry is only possible through a special passage."

As Zhou Tianxiong spoke, he reached his hand into a stone.

With a gentle twist, a stone door unexpectedly appeared before them.

Beyond it was a pitch-black tunnel.

Only through here could one enter the secret sect.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go quickly!"

Lin Fan pushed Zhou Tianxiong, but he remained stationary.

"I am merely a relative of the Shura Sect, living generation after generation in the inner gates. I have no right to enter the secret sect... Hence, I don’t know where this secret passage leads."

"So you’re saying you’re useless now?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes as he gazed at Zhou Tianxiong.

If there was no value in using him, then that would declare him worthless.

"I... I really don’t know... It’s always the Sect Master of the secret sect who contacts me... I have no means of contacting the secret sect... Otherwise, I wouldn’t have just watched the inner gates nearly burn down without contacting the sect, right..."

Zhou Tianxiong’s face fell.

This raging fire might seem ferocious, but to a high-level Martial Artist, it was not an issue.

A waft of palm wind was enough to completely extinguish it.

"Alright, it seems you are quite honest!"

Lin Fan, with a slight smile, pushed Zhou Tianxiong into the dark tunnel.

He then took Xu Zhi Rou by the hand and stepped inside.

"Don’t... don’t... let me out... I can’t come in..."

Zhou Tianxiong, who had fallen to the ground, cried out in terror.

However, the moment the three of them stepped into the cave, the originally pitch-black tunnel disappeared without a trace.

What emerged instead was an endless cosmic galaxy.

At this moment, they seemed to stand at the center of the universe, surrounded by starlight.

As for the way out behind them, it had vanished without a trace.

"Interesting, it seems even more formidable than the previous Enchanting Soul Array."

Lin Fan reached out, but he couldn’t touch anything at all.

The sensation of drifting through the vast universe was enchanting yet terrifying.

"Hey, you’re the Sect Leader, can you not cry so miserably?"

Xu Zhi Rou looked down at Zhou Tianxiong, who was sprawled on the ground; by now, he had really wet his pants.

Though this cosmic illusion did seem quite realistic, it wasn’t something to fear to this extent.

"You don’t understand... this is the Soul Stabilizing Array... It’s a hundred times more powerful than the Enchanting Soul Array outside... Even if you can’t get out of the Enchanting Soul Array, at most you’d die there, but... if you die in this Soul Stabilizing Array, your soul will be permanently dissipated... Your spirit will shatter, never to be reincarnated. Do you understand how terrifying that is?"

Zhou Tianxiong wiped away his tears. He didn’t want to die, but even more, he didn’t want to be unable to reincarnate forever.

According to the legends within the sect, the souls of the dead would also get lost here, forever adrift.

"So crying about it now is useless. Just join us in thinking of a way out."

Lin Fan, with his arms crossed, watched Zhou Tianxiong with a smile.

This Sect Leader’s courage seemed a bit too small.

"There’s no way out... Once you’re trapped, there’s no way to escape... Only the people of the Esoteric Sect know the way in and out... This is the greatest mystery of the Shura Sect’s existence, and it’s also the reason why it could be passed down for a thousand years!"

Zhou Tianxiong wiped the tears from his face, and even standing up, his legs wouldn’t stop shaking.

The stars around them seemed so realistic that even though he knew he was in an illusion, he couldn’t help being afraid.

"How can there be no way out? If others can get out, we can get in. No matter how realistic the illusion, it has its flaws."

Lin Fan rubbed his chin, scrutinizing everything around him carefully before walking off to the side. It took about ten minutes before Lin Fan turned his head to look at Xu Zhi Rou, only to find that the distance between them was still just a step away.

Now, they really seemed to be in the midst of the cosmos, where no matter how far they walked, the distance between them never increased.

"It’s useless... This place is an endless space... No one can escape..."

Zhou Tianxiong gave up struggling altogether and just sat there, weeping loudly.

The way he was, he really seemed helpless, even Xu Zhi Rou looked down on him.

"It looks like this place is indeed eerie."

Lin Fan tried several methods, including using force, but he couldn’t unveil the mystery of the Soul Stabilizing Array.

In the end, he could only sit down cross-legged, seemingly having given up.

"So what do we do now?"

Xu Zhi Rou looked at Lin Fan with doubt. She knew his nature; how could he give up so easily?

"There’s no rush. We’ve been trapped in the Enchanting Soul Array for so long and are tired. Since we can’t get out for the time being, we might as well rest a bit. After sleeping and feeling refreshed, we’ll come up with a plan."

Lin Fan yawned lazily and beckoned to Xu Zhi Rou.

"All right!"

With no other option, Xu Zhi Rou walked over to Lin Fan’s side.

Sitting in the void, she reached out her hand, pulling Lin Fan’s head onto her lap.

Everything returned to that void-like quiet.

But Xu Zhi Rou felt Lin Fan gently pinch her leg.

Confused, she didn’t speak but simply looked down at Lin Fan.

And there he was, lying on her lap, giving her a peculiar glance, with Zhou Tianxiong, still sobbing incessantly, as the target.

Xu Zhi Rou, having her suspicions, pretended to close her eyes as well.

But with her improved strength, she could sense everything around her.

Especially when she focused her attention on a particular direction, she could clearly hear Zhou Tianxiong’s heartbeat and breathing.

Zhou Tianxiong, curled up with his head in his hands, continued to sob uncontrollably.

But from the corner of his eye, he stole glances at the two of them.

Having made up his mind several times, yet he suppressed it, because he didn’t dare to gamble, given Lin Fan’s strength.

With only one chance to escape, he had to seize that fleeting moment.

So, after a long silence, none of the three made a move.

This would be a contest of endurance.

The one with stronger willpower would be the victor.

Finally, after an unknowable amount of time, Zhou Tianxiong steeled his heart and slowly began to rise.

"Now is the moment!"
