From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 183 The Spirit Array: The Final Chapter Reveals the Truth

The shimmering light of the runes seemed to mock my complacency.

It turns out that this is the real test.

The previously cracked nodes were merely the keys to unlocking this final barrier.

Above the barrier flowed an energy I had never seen before, ancient and mysterious, radiating a suffocating pressure.

I reached out and tentatively touched it, and a sharp pain shot through my fingertips, like being pricked by a needle.

I gasped, secretly shocked; the power of this barrier far exceeded my expectations.

My spiritual energy is almost depleted; the battle just now has exhausted too much of my energy.

Forcing a breakthrough is undoubtedly playing with one's life.

However, if we choose to restore our spiritual power, who knows what changes might occur to this barrier?

If I miss this opportunity, I may never be able to uncover the truth about the spirit array again.

I gritted my teeth, struggling internally.

adventure?

Or is it safer to play it safe?

The two options kept switching back and forth in my mind, making it difficult for me to decide.

The air around me seemed to freeze, making it hard for me to breathe.

Sweat trickled down my forehead and dripped onto the cold ground, making a soft sound.

The array master walked to my side, his deep gaze seemingly able to see through everything.

“Child,” he said slowly, his voice deep and powerful, “you are excellent, but you must also know your limits.” His words were like a clear spring, nourishing my parched heart.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

“I understand,” I said softly, my gaze fixed firmly on the barrier.

I sat cross-legged, circulated my inner energy, and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.

Although it's slow, it's better than sitting and waiting to die.

I closed my eyes, cast all distracting thoughts aside, and devoted myself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

I don't know how much time passed, but I felt my spiritual energy gradually recover.

I slowly opened my eyes, stood up, and looked at the barrier again.

This time, my eyes were no longer filled with confusion, but with confidence and determination.

"I'm ready." I took a deep breath, gripped my sword tightly, and walked step by step toward the barrier...

"Wait." A voice suddenly rang out.

Su Yao's sharp, sarcastic voice rang in my ears, buzzing like a mosquito: "Oh, isn't this the great genius Xiao? What, giving up already? I thought you could create a miracle, it seems I overestimated you." I clenched my fists, my nails almost digging into my flesh.

This woman really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics!

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

Now is not the time to argue with her. My goal is that barrier, the truth behind the spirit array!

Li Yunfei also looked at me with a hint of mockery, seemingly certain that I would back down.

He crossed his arms, looking like he was about to watch a good show.

I sneered and ignored them.

The more they look down on me, the more I'll prove them wrong!

I mobilized the remaining spiritual energy in my body and rushed towards the barrier without the slightest hesitation!

Spiritual energy surged forth like a tide, crashing against the barrier and unleashing a dazzling light.

I felt as if I had crashed into a solid wall, and the enormous recoil force sent me staggering back several steps.

A surge of blood welled up in his chest, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Xiao Yao!" the array master exclaimed, trying to step forward to stop me, but I stopped him by raising my hand.

I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, my eyes remaining as resolute as ever.

I refuse to believe I can't break through this damn barrier!

I gathered my spiritual power once more, and this time, I concentrated all my strength into one point and stabbed fiercely at the center of the barrier.

The barrier trembled violently, emitting a buzzing sound, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"She's gone mad!" Li Yunfei looked at me in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock.

Just then, a crack suddenly appeared on the barrier. Then, the crack grew larger and denser until it finally shattered with a crash!

The dazzling light instantly engulfed me, and I felt as if I were being sucked in by a tremendous force.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a completely unfamiliar place.

This place is rich in spiritual energy and has beautiful scenery, just like a fairyland.

“You’ve finally arrived…” a deep voice sounded behind me.

I turned around abruptly and saw a man dressed in black, his face hidden in the shadows, standing behind me.

He slowly raised his head, revealing a face that resembled a ghost...

I was startled by the ghostly figure and instinctively gripped my sword tighter.

He exuded a chilling aura that sent shivers down my spine.

"Who are you?" I asked warily.

He didn't answer my question, but just laughed sinisterly, the laughter echoing in the empty space, sending chills down my spine.

"Want to know who I am? Then go find the answer yourself!" After saying that, he vanished from my sight in a flash.

I was startled and quickly looked around, only to find myself in a completely unfamiliar place.

The spiritual energy here is so rich it's breathtaking, and the scenery is so beautiful it's dazzling, like a fairyland.

Soft green grass underfoot, a clear blue sky above, rolling mountains in the distance, and a faint, refreshing fragrance in the air.

Just as I was immersed in this beautiful scenery, suddenly, a powerful force surged into my body from beneath my feet.

I felt like my body was about to explode, and the intense pain made me let out a muffled groan.

I gritted my teeth, endured the pain, and tried my best to control this force.

After an unknown amount of time, the force finally subsided, and I felt my body filled with unprecedented power.

I slowly opened my eyes and found that everything around me had changed.

In the once empty space, an ancient altar appeared, covered with mysterious runes and radiating a dazzling light.

I walked to the altar, reached out my hand, and gently touched the runes.

A surge of information flooded my mind, and I immediately understood that this was the most precious array inheritance among spirit arrays!

"I...I did it!" I was so excited that I couldn't contain myself, and tears streamed down my face.

I have finally cracked the secret of the spirit array and received an unprecedented reward!

At that moment, a flash of light appeared, and the Array Master, Li Yunfei, Su Yao, and others also appeared there.

They looked at me with shock and envy in their eyes.

Li Yunfei was filled with shame. He had mocked me so much before, but now he could only watch helplessly as I obtained such a precious inheritance.

Su Yao was consumed by jealousy. She glared at me fiercely, her eyes filled with resentment.

I stood on the altar, bathed in light, enjoying the joy of victory.

At that moment, I became the object of everyone's admiration, and my mastery of formations reached a new height.

I slowly raised my head, looked up at the sky, and a slight smile appeared on my lips.

“This…this is just the beginning…” I said in a low voice.

Suddenly, I felt a chilling aura coming from behind me...

A chilling aura sent shivers down my spine.

I turned around abruptly, but only saw a blurry black shadow flash by, so fast that I wondered if it was my imagination.

Could it be that ghostly figure from earlier?

Who is he?

What's the purpose?

My mind was filled with doubts, but now was clearly not the time to dwell on them.

I sat cross-legged in the center of the altar and began to absorb the array's inheritance.

A massive influx of information flooded my mind, with all sorts of complex runes, arrays, and incantations making me feel like my head was about to explode.

I gritted my teeth, endured the discomfort, and tried my best to digest and absorb this knowledge.

I don't know how much time passed, but the inheritance finally came to an end. I felt that my understanding of formations had reached a whole new level, as if I had opened the door to a new world.

I slowly opened my eyes. The runes on the altar had faded, and the surrounding spiritual energy gradually returned to calm.

I stood up, feeling the surging power within me, and an unprecedented sense of confidence welled up within me.

The array master walked up to me, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Congratulations, child, you've succeeded." His voice trembled slightly, clearly showing his joy for me as well.

Li Yunfei and Su Yao also came over, but their expressions were completely different.

Li Yunfei's face was filled with shame and regret. He had looked down on me so much before, but now he could only watch helplessly as I obtained such a precious inheritance. He must have felt very complicated inside.

Su Yao, on the other hand, had a face full of jealousy and resentment, her eyes seemingly spitting fire.

I smiled at her slightly, with a hint of provocation.

She was so angry that she was trembling all over, but she couldn't say a word.

I ignored them and turned to walk towards the exit.

I know this is just the beginning. My goal is to become a true immortal, and this array inheritance is just a stepping stone on my path.

After leaving the Spirit Array Valley, I didn't rush back to the sect, but instead flew towards a mysterious direction.

There, it is said, lies a slumbering ancient artifact; perhaps it can help me increase my strength more quickly.

After flying for several days, I finally arrived at a desolate mountain range.

The place is devoid of spiritual energy, barren of vegetation, and gives off a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

Following the directions on the map, I arrived at a secluded valley.

In the center of the valley stands an ancient stone tablet, covered with mysterious runes.

I approached the stone tablet, reached out, and gently touched the runes.

A powerful force instantly blasted me away, and I staggered a few steps before I could barely regain my footing.

I was shocked; the restrictions on this stone tablet were incredibly powerful!

I tried several more times, but all attempts failed.

I'm not willing to give up. Am I just going to give up like this?

Suddenly, I remembered some content from the spirit array inheritance.

Those complex runes and arrays seem to have some connection with the restrictions on this stone tablet.

I sat cross-legged and began to carefully study the runes on the stone tablet, comparing them with the knowledge passed down through generations.

After an unknown amount of time, I finally found a way to break the restriction.

I took a deep breath, mobilized the spiritual power within my body, and injected it into the runes on the stone tablet in a specific order.

The stone tablet began to tremble violently, emitting a buzzing sound, as if it would collapse at any moment.

I was incredibly nervous, but I didn't hesitate at all.

Suddenly, the runes on the stone tablet emitted a dazzling light, and then, a huge stone door slowly opened...

"This..." Before I could react, an aged voice came from inside the stone door: "Who has awakened me from my slumber?"
