"I......."
Yu Lingfeiâs pretty face was bright red, and she silently dared not make a sound.
"By the way, Miss Yu, why did you suddenly come here? Is there something you need?"
Lin Changâsheng noticed the awkwardness between them and promptly changed the subject.
"Senior Brother Long, I saw you return again to the Fire Radiance Dunes just now. Did you discover something....."
Yu Lingfei gazed at Lin Changâsheng, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.
"I did find a clue. I think this Fire Radiance Dunes might actually be a grand array!"
Lin Changâshengâs eyes flashed as he spoke.
"A grand array?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Lingfeiâs eyes lit up and she exclaimed in surprise: "I didnât expect Senior Brother Long to be skilled in arrays, too?!"
This guess of Long Pingâan might really have something to it!
Yu Lingfei knew in her heart that if Fire Radiance Dunes was really a grand array, then cracking it might truly give them hope of leaving!
As a new-generation prodigy disciple of Yanyue Immortal Sect, she had naturally read the sectâs treasured records and knew that the cultivation realm possessed powerful arrays!
"Iâm somewhat proficient, but this array is not ordinary. If we want to break it, it wonât be quick or easy."
Lin Changâsheng looked at the sky beyond the hall, a deep look in his eyes.
"Then.......Senior Brother Lin, how long do you think itâll take to crack this array?"
At Lin Changâshengâs words, hope flickered in Yu Lingfeiâs eyes.
As a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator with all her magical power gone, now no different from an ordinary person, Yu Lingfei really didnât want to stay here any longer.
"Previously, I received an array inheritance from a senior. Thatâs why I suspected Fire Radiance Dunes is likely some legendary array. Itâs also why I traveled so far along the coastline and the dunesâ edge today."
"If my guess is correct, this array is called the Celestial Array of Earth Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Locking."
"But the level of this array is too high. Thereâs no way I can crack it in such a short time."
"You know, breaking an array is extremely taxing on the mind and spirit. I need something enjoyable to relax. So I rummaged in my storage bag, found those sketches I was just looking atâthey happened to trigger my inspiration and put me into a sage-like state, so I looked a bit longer... but I ended up embarrassing myself in front of you."
Lin Changâshengâs own face turned red as he spoke.
"Celestial Array of Earth Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Locking......?"
Yu Lingfeiâs pretty face flushed as red as blood at these words. She didnât understand arrays, but she did know that, whether cultivation or array-breaking, one needed a peaceful mindset for enlightenment.
But those sketchesâthey would make anyoneâs cheeks burn. Senior Brother Longâs explanation actually made some sense.
"Senior Brother Long, then I wonât disturb your enlightenment. Iâll take my leave for now."
Yu Lingfei muttered a soft complaint, not daring to meet Lin Changâshengâs gaze. It was just too awkward here, and she was ready to go.
Yu Lingfei had just reached the door when something occurred to her, and she asked, "Senior Brother Long, while youâre quietly seeking insight, if you need help with anything, just let me know."
She knew in her heart.
She was trapped here in the Spirit-Seizing Land. Now that Senior Brother Long had discovered that Fire Radiance Dunes was a grand array, their only hope of escape might rest with him. If she wanted to leave with him, she had to contribute somehow.
"Oh?"
Lin Changâsheng perked up insideâdidnât he still have the Immovable Golden Buddha Technique, which, after simplification, required him to watch beauties dance without his heart being moved?
This was practically a perfect opportunity!
Thinking of this, Lin Changâsheng immediately said, "Miss Yu, do you know how to dance? Actually, watching beauties dance would cheer me up, and help with my array enlightenment."
"Dance? I havenât learned it. Or... should I go ask Junior Sister Fu Qingyu and Zhang Aoxue?"
Yu Lingfeiâs eyes brightened at Lin Changâshengâs request and she spoke up.
"Sounds good! Go ahead and ask them."
Lin Changâsheng nodded at her words.
"Alright, Senior Brother Long. Then Iâll leave you to your insightsâtake your time with the array enlightenment."
The blush on Yu Lingfeiâs pretty face had yet to fade. She cupped her fists to Lin Changâsheng, then turned and walked away.
.......
Eight li away from the great hall where Lin Changâsheng was, inside a fairly large wooden cabinâ
Zhuo Yijian, Fu Qingyu, Zhang Aoxue, and four Foundation Establishment Stage disciples of the Celestial Sword Immortal Sect were all present.
Just then, a figure in white hurried overâit was Yu Lingfei.
"Junior Sister Yu, thereâs no way out. What should we do now?"
Zhuo Yijian looked at Yu Lingfei, deep worry in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Zhuo, I just went to see Senior Brother Long. He said the Fire Radiance Dunes is an array called the Celestial Array of Earth Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Locking!"
Yu Lingfei looked at Zhuo Yijian and the other junior sisters, her tone serious.
"What? Fire Radiance Dunes is an array?"
"No way......."
"The temperature is so high, and it covers such a vast area. How could any array be that big??"
"......."
When Yu Lingfei finished, Zhuo Yijian and Zhang Aoxue fell silent, but the other junior disciples babbled noisily and shook their heads.
"Junior Sister Yu, what that Daoist Long said might actually be possible."
Zhuo Yijianâs eyes glimmered with hope; he stepped forward and asked, "Junior Sister Yu, did Daoist Long say if this array can be broken?"
Zhuo Yijian was a prodigy of the Celestial Sword Immortal Sect. He had once read in his Master Wine Sword Immortalâs private collection that in the way of arrays, some use physical array foundations; others use mountains and rivers as the array basis; real Great Powers, though, can form arrays aligned with heaven and earth itself.
Heâd only glimpsed these records before and wasnât versed in arrays, but Yu Lingfeiâs words had just sparked an idea in his mind.
