Chapter 990: Directly Attack The Main BaseChapter 1490: Deciphering the Ancient Array

After waiting for a while, Xiao Liuzu left and then changed his appearance before entering the teleportation array to head towards the location of the Celestial Plane Gate.

The location of the Celestial Plane Gate doesn't belong to any Immortal Palace because there has always been very little divine energy there, making it a bad place to construct an Immortal Palace.

However, this location does have some fame. It's called Meteor Mountain Range. At certain intervals, meteor showers appear in the sky above this range, and falling meteor fragments drop into this mountain range. Many fortunate people have stumbled upon precious gems inside over the years.

"This place often has meteor showers, and it was considered a treasure land many years ago. Many powerful forces explored it but didn't find anything, so we never expected to find an entrance to the Celestial Plane here. Could it be that there's a weak point in space between our plane and theirs" said Bai Yuyou.

"Now we can be sure that there's a mysterious grand array in that location. As long as it's deciphered, we'll gain access to the answer," said Xiao Xiang.

Xiao Xiang teleported to the Immortal Palace closest to Meteor Mountain Range and then walked towards the mountain range on foot. Many people were there, all watching the spectacle. The news had spread, and despite knowing they couldn't enter, people still wanted to see.

Xiao Xiang sprinted along as he analyzed the array on the divine book, memorizing those spiritual patterns and thinking about how to find the base of this array. This is key for unlocking it.

"This place attracts meteors, and the stars in the Celestial Plane drop large amounts of star energy when they fall. Eventually, this energy will be absorbed by the land and might accumulate in the base of the array," said Su Meiyou.

Xiao Xiang had a similar thought, "It's very possible. This array might cover the entire mountain range, while the small circular pattern in the divine book is just a part of it."

The Celestial Plane Gate was open, but surrounding the area for a hundred miles, there was a large array that made it difficult to enter. There were also many Immortal Kings guarding the area, and Xiao Xiang suspected that powerhouses like Lu Qilian were in those tents nearby.

The gate was a golden light barrier, with two array disks below it. It seems that the disks are holding the gate open to prevent space from closing, allowing free entry at will. However, maintaining the array disks requires a large amount of divine crystals that aren't a problem for multiple major forces in Heaven Nine.

"Have they entered yet" Xiao Xiang asked, watching from the peak of a mountain. Many others were there with him, looking at the gate.

An old man said, "I heard that these powerful forces joined forces and suffered great losses. They're recovering now. Without their leadership, others won't dare to enter recklessly. They should recover soon and head into that Celestial Plane together."

Xiao Xiang didn't wait for them to enter and instead went to explore the other dozens of mountain peaks. Through careful search, he discovered that these mountains weren't originally here but were moved here!

These mountains are only around 500 feet tall, relatively low by the standards of Heaven Nine. They're like columns standing there.

"Sure enough, there are faint spiritual patterns fluctuations within. Without close inspection, it's hard to notice!" Xiao Xiang spent a day exploring the tops of these mountains multiple times, finally discovering something. Only when it's night, are there faint fluctuations that are hard to perceive otherwise.

With his discovery, Xiao Xiang concluded that there's a large array hidden here. The current challenge is finding the base of the array!

"There are so many spiritual patterns here, densely packed!" Xiao Xiang looked at a diagram. He drew the circular pattern from the divine book onto a large sheet of paper, carefully examining and finding relationships between spiritual patterns. He had to find the main array lines, then identify the intersection points of these main lines; they're where the base is located.

However, with so many intertwined array lines, finding the intersection points is difficult. Currently, Xiao Xiang uses his knowledge of spiritual patterns and arrays to eliminate the ones that aren't. Despite this, it's still a challenging task.

He took out the mysterious Enlightenment Stone. The stone itself contains large amounts of natural spiritual patterns, helping him in his cultivation to make his understanding smoother. When he first got the Enlightenment Stone, using it was difficult, but over years of practice, Xiao Xiang feels a mysterious connection with the stone. He sees more and more spiritual patterns as he looks inside, now using the mysterious energy from the stone to guide his eyes when viewing this array diagram.

In no time, many patterns emerged from the Enlightenment Stone, matching those on the diagram. The diagram now appears black in his eyes with various light patterns shining through. Xiao Xiang's excited breath reflects his excitement because he can now directly understand what each array line represents. Red and green lines are the most, followed by purple and white ones, with only faint golden four十九 lines. They all intersect at one point; this intersection should be the base of the array!

"It's here!" Xiao Xiang marked that intersection point before putting away the Enlightenment Stone.

He didn't act immediately. He would wait until all of them entered first, as causing a commotion now might alert them and possibly lead to being stopped.

"I know that Lu Qilian understands my Transformation Technique, so she probably has precautions against it," said Xiao Xiang.

"Look, there's a mirror by the gate!" said Xiao Xiang, pointing to it. "The frame is decorated with dragon carvings of spiritual patterns. Is there a connection between this mirror and the Dragon Clan"

Around the golden Celestial Plane Gate, there's a large circular mirror that stands out.

"There is. This mirror was specially made by the Dragon Clan to decipher Transformation Techniques and it's called Divinity Mirror! It should've been ordered by that Flower Empress," said Long Xueyi.

Xiao Xiang cursed inwardly, "Looks like it's meant to prevent me." Although he didn't plan on entering their plane, Xiao Xiang still wanted to break that mirror as it would pose a threat by potentially deciphering his Transformation Technique.

He waited until morning, watching as many people left the tents. Xiao Xiang was disappointed when he saw that everyone was wearing long robes and hats, completely covering their faces. It was obvious they were trying to hide who entered inside since it's impossible for others to know from afar.

Now, nobody knows how many Holy Transcendents are waiting outside, and those with ill intentions wouldn't dare to act rashly.

"This must be the Flower Empress's trick," said Long Xueyi, with Xiao Xiang having the same thought.ws!”The Dark Arrows were notorious. They usually didn’t stay near the entrance, but they had been given orders to guard the entrance of Great Enlightenment Mountain and kill anyone who dared to enter....
