Chapter 400: 376: TianXuan’s Hidden Secret

Translator: 549690339

Once Chief Lu and his entourage disappeared from everyone’s sight, the cultivators present became extremely excited.

Divine sense communications began.

“I knew some big shots would come, but I never expected it to be Chief Lu!”

“Please forgive me, brother, I haven’t heard of Chief Lu. Who is he?”

“Seriously, dude. Where you from? You don’t even know the name of our Chief Array Master at the Array Strategy Hall?”

“With Chief Lu’s Unity-Path ability, wouldn’t he be able to sweep over the whole Spirit Transforming Stream with just one thought? Why would he need to inspect the area personally?”

“That just shows how little you know. Of course, he has to put on a show. If she came and went without taking a serious look at anything, wouldn’t that seem…”

“Brother, watch your words!”

Li Fan did not participate in this lively discussion.

Nonchalantly, he continued his serious scrutiny of the Array units.

Because he faintly sensed a vast divine consciousness, ceaselessly scanning back and forth over the Spirit Transforming Stream.

“They know they have to put on a show, yet they dare to discuss with divine sense under other people’s noses. They really think divine sense communication is absolutely safe.”

Li Fan shook his head secretly.

He kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, determined not to partake in this suicidal behavior.

After the initial excitement, an issued order made everyone groan in hardship.

The Chief would leave in two days.

Before that, everyone needed to push harder.

They needed to complete the construction of the entire Tianxuan Soul Locking Array.

Although the original progress was almost done, they now had to compress the work period to two days.

The suddenly increased workload almost tripled.

But this command was directly issued by Dong Fangyao with extreme strictness.

Everyone knew that Chief Lu was here and didn’t dare to complain.

They had to work their life away.

Fortunately for Li Fan, it was just a routine of working non-stop without rest.

His expression was usual without any change.

To prevent mistakes in the hectic situation, Huang Fusong and Dong Fangyao occasionally showed up to check on the progress.

Lu Xuejing, on the other hand, had not shown up in front of everyone since she had appeared that day.

It was unknown what she was busy with.

But Li Fan could always sense that the all-encompassing enormous divine consciousness never left the Spirit Transforming Stream.

Therefore, he was also diligent and showed no abnormal behaviors.

Time flew by rapidly as everyone was absorbed in their work.

In a blink of an eye, two days had passed.

Right when the Tianxuan Array Hub was about to be set and the Spirit-locking Formation was about to take form.

Chief Lu finally appeared again.

“I will install this Tianxuan Mirror.”

She made a request that surprised everyone.

Although it was unexpected, no one dared to disobey Chief Lu’s command.

Dong Fangyao, with a nervous expression, handed over the red virtual shadow transformed by the Array Hub to Lu Xuejing.

In the Central Core Area of the array, with everyone watching, Chief Lu placed the Tianxuan Mirror.

The mirror seemed extremely familiar with her.

It hardly needed any manipulation and obediently found its position and started to connect with the external array.

This scene was exactly identical to the one seen in the Roaring Abyss.

One after another, green lines of light began to spread outwards from the Central Array Pivot.

“Hmm?”

Li Fan immediately noticed something. This Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array seemed slightly different from the one he built.

He didn’t show any abnormality on his face.

He just started to think rapidly.

“What’s different?”

If one were to look at it purely from the perspective of array knowledge, Chief Lu’s operation was flawless and didn’t have any loopholes.

But Li Fan had this instinctive feeling that the same Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array had some unusual changes at certain key points.

He quietly watched the Spirit-locking Formation take shape, feeling as if he was being watched.

Li Fan’s heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly figured out where that feeling was coming from.

At the moment of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array’s completion, the nameless array formed by transparent lines that had been covering the Spirit Transforming Stream also disappeared at the same time.

Similarly, the enormous divine consciousness that Li Fan had sensed over this period disappeared without a trace.

Everything was just so smooth and logical.

Even if someone had noticed it, they would think that Chief Lu was just retracting her Divine Technique after the completion of the array.

But Li Fan didn’t think so.

A daring idea suddenly came to his mind.

Regardless of whether it was the unknown array and the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array having the same way of unfolding or the incredibly similar surveillance effects…

They made Li Fan brim with wild and fanciful thoughts.

“It didn’t disappear.”

“It merged?”

“Did the two merge? Or it’s just simply lurking?”

Li Fan’s gaze was as calm as ever, but his heart was filled with enormous waves.

“Is she leaving a backdoor in the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array?”

As the first Combined Path Array Master who proposed the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array project.

Luxuejing undoubtedly had this ability.

But her purpose was unclear to Li Fan.

“Has she done this to prevent any possible loss of control of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array in the future?”

“Or does she have other objectives?”

“With the spread of Tianxuan Spirit Locking, anyone who controls the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array would have enormous power.”

“The Chief Array Master of the Array Strategy Hall is just an array master after all.”

“There’s still quite a distancer from the pinnacle of true power.”

“Perhaps, with the help of Tianxuan Spirit Locking, she could make a giant leap.”

“Even a glimpse of the Immortal Realm might be possible.”

While Li Fan’s thoughts were diverging.

The Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array, completely formed by Chief Lu’s operation, sparked a round of applause from every cultivator in the Spirit Transforming Stream.

Luxuejing also showed a rare smile.

With a gentle expression, she looked at the cultivators below.

When her gaze fell on the face of a white-haired old man, her eyes momentarily narrowed.

She seemed to have seen this man somewhere before?

Luxuejing was somewhat surprised.

He was just a Golden Core Cultivator and should not have caught her eye.

Her thoughts spun quickly, and memories flooded her mind.

Suddenly, it stopped at a few years ago, when her daughter Lu Xuejing had gone missing for a while and then returned.

Lu Xuejing had been kidnapped by an old fisherman due to her arrogance.

Later, a cultivator fortuitously used items he was carrying and traded them for Lu Xuejing.

Lu Xuejing, who had barely escaped with her life, tried to thank the cultivator.

But he appeared to have urgent business and left in a hurry.

She didn’t even know the name of the man who saved her; she only remembered his face.

At that time, she described the cultivator’s appearance to Lu Xuejing using the Water Mirror Technique.

She then memorized it in her heart.

It should be this man.

But, so little time had passed.

How could he have aged so much?

“Who is that man?”

Luxuejing asked Dong Fangyao through divine sense transmission.

“Finally, it has come!”

Seeing both Chief Lu and Brother Dongfang’s eyes on Li Fan, Huang Fusong exclaimed inwardly.
