According to the young man's directions, next we need to activate the small-scale teleportation array attached to the stone monument and send it to a relatively safer place before leaving the Void Heaven Temple.
The Mei Han San You in the Absolute Heaven Valley is no longer safe. Just as Qin Lingyun struck the spiritual light on the stone tablet, the ground of the Absolute Heaven Valley suddenly shook violently, and the ground began to crack open with cracks, the entire valley was shaking, like a landslide.
"Mei Han San You, if you want to save your life, hurry up and fly over!" Qin Lingyun shouted loudly, her voice piercing through the rumbling sound and entering Mei Han San You's ears.
Upon hearing Qin Lingyun's cry, the already startled Mei Han and his two friends rushed towards her direction, but everything was too late. A massive amount of black hellfire erupted from the crack, engulfing Mei Han and his friends before they could even approach the stone tablet.
Not a sound was heard as Mei Han and his three friends fell like three tattered rags.
"I've done my best, but the outcome for Mei Han and her friends can only be attributed to bad luck." Qin Lingyun didn't have time to pay attention to Mei Han and her friends, as the entire valley was engulfed in eerie black flames that seemed to come from the underworld, and they were spreading rapidly towards her location.
The hellfire was eerie and inexplicable, and all the scenery around it remained intact without any damage. However, Mei Han and his three friends were lying on the ground motionless, their primordial spirits clearly consumed, leaving behind only empty physical shells.
Qin Lingyun no longer hesitated, and once again struck out two streams of spiritual light onto the stone tablet. Immediately, the four words of the Wan Jian Fa array on the back of the stone tablet shone with a soft, shimmering light, which then shot out into the air, forming a projection of four large characters in shimmering light.
Then, the scattered light recombined into a single beam that struck Qin Lingyun's body.
The halo was not aggressive, but wrapped around Qin Lingyun, and immediately stretched out and shrunk, Qin Lingyun disappeared in the valley.
Qin Lingyun's eyes turned black for a moment, and then everything in front of her changed. The surroundings were no longer the dark flames of hell, but an eerie silence.
About one zhang away from the front, there is a cylindrical stone pillar about two zhang high, with a rough and uneven surface of about one foot in diameter, presenting a dark gray color, with traces carved by years.
And there are many similar stone pillars in the surrounding areas not far away.
Qin Lingyun raised her head and looked up, the sky was shrouded in a layer of hazy mist, and her line of sight could only reach more than a hundred feet high.
"No need to look around, this is the Starry Stone Forest, where flying is prohibited. There are traps and deadly restrictions everywhere. Without my guidance, if you take a few careless steps, you will fall into the restrictions and may plummet." The old voice echoed in Qin Lingyun's mind.
Just as she emerged from the gray mist, Qin Lingyun had already put away the pale red feather in her storage bag. However, the old antique with a youthful appearance inside the feather seemed to be able to transmit his words directly into Qin Lingyun's mind through some special means, unimpeded even when he was inside the storage bag.
"Before you tell me to leave, can you tell me your identity and background? I can't always call you old man?" Qin Lingyun didn't move her feet casually, but stood still on the spot, thinking for a moment before speaking slowly.
That ancient voice fell silent for a moment, then said: "As for my identity, more than 10,000 years have passed, what significance does one's former identity still hold... More than 10,000 years ago, before I had fallen, others all called me the Ancestral Master of the Stars, you can also call me Star Emperor."
"Alright, Xingdi, is this chaotic Star Stone Forest still within the Virtuous Heaven Palace?"
"The Void Heaven Temple is extremely vast, and the Chaotic Star Stone Forest is indeed within it. As for everything about the Void Heaven Temple, I won't tell you anything now. Wait until one day your strength is sufficient."
Qin Lingyun said, "I'm not interested in the Void Heaven Palace either. With insufficient strength and excessive greed, it's only a matter of time before I fall. I've understood this principle long ago. Now, I just want to leave the Void Heaven Palace and return to the Tianyue Continent."
"The long-distance transmission formation is inside the chaotic star stone forest, wait until we get there, and I will teach you a secret technique to temporarily protect your physical body and primordial spirit. When transmitting, you won't be torn into pieces by the spatial forces." said Xingdi.
Qin Lingyun was just worried about this issue, generally short-distance transmission has a certain impact on the cultivator's physical body and primordial spirit, but the impact is not great. However, if it is long-distance transmission, the physical body and primordial spirit are likely to shatter in the turbulent spatial force, this danger is not something that Qin Lingyun's cultivation at the 8th layer of Qi Refining can withstand.
Fortunately, Xingdi had a secret technique to protect his physical body and yuan god, otherwise, when transmitting over long distances, without the rare protective talismans, Qin Lingyun's low cultivation would have at least a 90% chance of shattering in the spatial chaos, and 10% chance of becoming an idiot.
"Next, you must follow my instructions carefully. If you make a mistake, it's not just that you'll get into trouble, but also drag me down and prevent me from returning to the mainland. At that time, the Ice Jade Magic Palace will truly have no one left to inherit."
Qin Lingyun followed the Star Emperor's guidance and navigated through the chaotic star stone forest. As expected, this place was indeed eerie, with all the stone pillars looking identical. Once inside the forest, it became difficult to distinguish the path. There were flight restrictions here, and without the Star Emperor's guidance, getting lost would make it extremely hard to find the correct route.
After bypassing many stone pillars, a huge circular platform of about one zhang high appeared in front of Qin Lingyun. The entire array was made of rare warm jade and five-color stones, with intricate patterns carved on it, and many recesses were filled with colorful crystals.
"We've arrived, this is the ancient long-distance transmission array. Look at the inlaid crystals and patterns on top, they're all intact and emitting a faint glow, indicating that there's still residual energy left. We can leave this time." Star Emperor said with some excitement.
One of the stars, Emperor Xing, was not sure if the transmission array here was complete at first. He deliberately didn't tell Qin Lingyun clearly. Now that the transmission array is fine, the lie he told reluctantly doesn't need to be explained anymore.
Xingdi immediately transmitted the secret technique directly into Qin Lingyun's mind, which was a part of a skill called Hushen Technique. It could use spiritual power to transform into a barrier, temporarily blocking the erosion of spatial forces.
Qin Lingyun remembered it afterwards, and didn't spend much time before committing the entire technique to memory. The complete Divine Guardian Technique was difficult to cultivate, but a part of it that Qin Lingyun knew was actually quite easy to comprehend.
"Now I can finally leave with the two of them, but who knows where the transmission array will send me? Hopefully it's to the Great Wei Kingdom."
Standing on the law array, blue light intertwined, a flash of light, Qin Lingyun was teleported out. At the moment just before teleportation, Qin Lingyun activated a small part of her protective divine technique. By the time she finished teleporting and landed on the ground, all her spiritual power had been consumed, and her body was exhausted to the extreme.
