The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle
Chapter 525 - 321 Don't Force Me to Kneel and Beg You!

"???"

Qin Hao looked up, bewildered, at Su Qi.

"I know, but what do you mean by asking this?"

Su Qi explained persuasively, "Here's the thing, while you were unconscious, they also made extensive preparations."

"Now, the task left for us is to create a distraction and launch a surprise attack on their main base from the rear."

Although Qin Hao had just woken up and was somewhat confused, his mind had already cleared.

He frowned, "How could such a strategy be possible? Heavenly Mountain is protected by a powerful array, which is their safety net, and there must be some people guarding it. We two couldn't possibly stand a chance if we go inside..."

"That's not right."

Suddenly, Qin Hao looked up, slightly dazed, "I think I saw you before I passed out, but..."

He looked at Su Qi's clothes and face, "Who are you?! A Heavenly Descendant??"

"It doesn't matter. Which direction is Heavenly Mountain?"

"North," Qin Hao said instinctively, "Wait, you don't seriously want to go, do you?"

"Because... this is the only way you can save your companions."

Su Qi calmly said, "The others are already en route to confront Heavenly Mountain, but they estimate their chances of winning are less than ten percent, and I've offered them a bit of help."

"Under normal circumstances, they can hold on for a maximum of two hours in a direct encounter."

"So if you really want them to survive, you'll have to trust me."

Su Qi gently continued:

"We simply steal their crystal."

His current level of Spiritual Energy wasn't much, enough to burst forth in a direct confrontation, but it wasn't necessary.

Now was the perfect moment for a stealthy approach; their so-called Spirit Stones, which I've tried myself, can replenish one's own Spiritual Energy quite rapidly.

However, in this Cultivator gathering place, they are a rare resource, as all others are inside Heavenly Mountain.

"Do you think there is a way to break their Array?" Qin Hao asked seriously, considering the feasibility of Su Qi's plan.

If they couldn't resist on the frontlines, sneaking into the enemy's main base indeed was a good way to set their rear bases ablaze.

It would also greatly assist the frontlines, possibly increasing the survival chances of many companions.

However,

the issue now was whether they could penetrate the sanctuary's main Array at Heavenly Mountain.

And whether the two of them could spark this fire.

"That aspect... don't worry." Su Qi was relaxed, "We'll see when the time comes."

"???"

Qin Hao's eyes widened, "Damn it!"

"Are you going to tell me if you're confident?"

"I'm confident."

"..."

Qin Hao felt a pang of internal injury emanating from his chest.

"Stay calm."

Su Qi said, "It's just like taking an exam, solving problems requires seeing the questions first before you can write the answers."

"I, Su Buxian, a rather unknown Sect Hierarch, am best at on-the-spot thinking.

"And now."

However, Su Qi snapped his fingers:

"Also, Qin, it's time to hit the road!"

This time, Starfire did not group together like in the Mecha World.

Instead, it formed unique patterns of starfire on the ground around his feet, twinkling with each step.

Not to mention,

this thing was quite useful for showing off.

He grabbed Qin Hao.

Qin Hao was stunned, utterly unable to resist, as if clamped down by a pair of pliers.

As several old pharmacists watched with widened eyes, Su Qi stepped forth and instantly disappeared from the spot, stepping into a Transmission Array.

And only a path of starfire-lit lotuses remained on the ground along his way.

The old pharmacist muttered, "Such quick speed."

"Additionally,"

"How did this Heavenly Descendant who descended, know how to use our Array?"

...

This Transmission Array was similar to Ripples but was more stable and safe.

The next moment,

Su Qi and Qin Hao appeared in a vast plain.

Su Qi flipped a Spirit Coin in his hand: "Your constructed Array has the Eight Trigrams orientations, and one of these corresponds to the north... If you want to go anywhere, you can teleport individually. The Magic Formulas of your world's Transmission Arrays are indeed convenient."

"You wouldn't understand, after all, this is the wisdom of our ancestors."

Qin Hao took a deep breath, having arrived here, although somewhat reluctantly, he wanted to grasp any sliver of hope.

He looked into the distance, "Aren't you looking for Heavenly Mountain? It's in the north, and although we've reached here, we still need to cross several mountains and cities."

Qin Hao had mostly recovered from his injuries, but his face was still a bit pale. At this moment, he formed a spell with his fingers, "I've enhanced you with the Wind Walking Technique, which will greatly increase your speed as you ride the winds... though it doesn't allow for flying."

Su Qi felt the wind stirring around him and had Xiao Meng offline record it.

"Wow, no matter how many times I see it, the ability of this Magic Formula is indeed quite powerful."

When Bai Yilin had used magic, Su Qi had not paid much attention, as it was just a display of traits from the Spiritual Ability Sequence.

But now... after grasping the concept of dimensions.

Su Qi discovered that the abilities of each dimension possessed BUG-level traits.

The Mecha's powerful recovery, versatile assembly, and changeability.

Immortal Taoist Formulas also controlled various elements and were easy to use, offering a variety of techniques, and had general applicability.

"Most importantly... the strength of Cultivators far exceeds that of other ordinary beings in the Present World."

Su Qi was very interested.

Moreover,

...if he could master the power of these Magic Formulas, perhaps he could pair them with Starfire, considering light is also an element.
