Xiao Fei did not venture too deep into the darkness of the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array after being forced in by Ancestor Ji. Instead, he retreated into his spatial dimension.
More than ten days passed. Xiao Fei quickly found an exit from the darkness using his Law Domain.
However, the moment he poked his head out, he discovered Ancestor Ji waiting outside.
Startled, he quickly retracted his head and hid back within the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array.
This time, Ancestor Ji had the time and no intention of letting him go. He immediately pursued Xiao Fei into the darkness.
As Ancestor Ji chased into the darkness, he could faintly hear Xiao Fei's sounds ahead for a while.
But then, he suddenly lost Xiao Fei's trace, as if he had completely vanished.
He found the approximate location where Xiao Fei had last disappeared but discovered nothing. Instead, he became lost within it.
Xiao Fei hid in his spatial dimension for another year or two before reappearing in the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array.
He cautiously scouted around, finding no trace of Ancestor Ji. He must have gone far away.
At this moment, he began to circulate his laws, and a domain took shape around him.
After this period of secluded cultivation and consuming some Enlightenment Spring water, his comprehension of laws had deepened significantly.
Now, the law domain he projected spread faster in this darkness.
Under his control, the domain did not spread randomly. Instead, it extended in a thin, straight line, moving directly in one direction.
When his domain reached about five li in length, he did not find an exit ahead.
He immediately controlled this thin, straight line to rotate around him as the center point.
Once this line completed a full rotation, he would be able to thoroughly survey an area with a radius of five li.
Xiao Fei then took out a jade slip and meticulously drew a detailed map of the terrain within this five-li radius, recording it into the jade slip.
This way, in the future, within this small area, he would only need to use his domain to clearly perceive the terrain beneath his feet and move freely according to the map.
After he finished exploring this area using his laws, he was utterly exhausted and could only retreat into his spatial dimension to rest.
The flower on the vine in his spatial dimension had recently appeared somewhat withered, showing signs of wilting, which filled Xiao Fei with reluctance.
The fragrance of this flower was of great help in recovering after using his laws, but sadly, it would be gone soon.
Below the flower, a small green gourd shape had already grown.
The gourd was still too small, and he didn't know if it would be more suitable for eating or for artifact refining in the future.
Xiao Fei lay down beside the vine and, after a deep sleep, he had fully recovered his strength.
He then emerged from his spatial dimension and continued to use his laws to explore the terrain and draw maps.
It wasn't until his fourth exploration using his law domain that he coincidentally found the boundary of the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array and successfully exited it.
Emerging from the oppressive darkness and finally seeing the daylight again filled Xiao Fei with exhilaration.
He intended to expose Ancestor Ji's true face, to let the entire Tian Yuan Cultivation World know he was a spy, and to turn him into a street rat that everyone would chase.
Xiao Fei excitedly exited the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array and flew around the Southern Wasteland Continent. He found it still desolate, as if after an apocalypse.
The teleportation arrays leading to other continents remained damaged and unrepaired.
Judging by the situation, the only way to return to the Central Continent was to fly back himself.
Just as he was preparing to cross the sea and leave, he encountered a group of cultivators.
There were more than ten people in this group, and surprisingly, an old acquaintance, Xing Wu Ming, was among them.
"Elder Xiao!"
The moment Xing Wu Ming saw Xiao Fei, he excitedly rushed forward, taking Xiao Fei's hand and not letting go, recounting his recent experiences.
It turned out that on the day the giants broke through the array, he happened to be by the sea. He had directly fled into the depths of the ocean.
Only after the battle ceased and everything calmed down did he return to the Southern Wasteland Continent to search for Xiao Lan and the others.
Not long ago, he had encountered a team that had rushed from the Central Continent, requesting various ancestors to return for reinforcements.
This team, unable to find Ancestor Ji and the fish-headed demon race in front of the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array, had been searching the Southern Wasteland Continent.
Xing Wu Ming happened to meet this team. Since he was also looking for people, he joined them in their continued wandering across the Southern Wasteland Continent.
"May I ask how Fellow Daoist Xiao is doing now?"
"Are you asking about my second sister? She's fine. She's in a very safe place and might need to sleep for a while."
Seeing Xing Wu Ming approaching, Xiao Fei guessed what he wanted to ask.
However, Xiao Fei hadn't expected such significant changes to have occurred in the Tian Yuan Realm in such a short time.
Another Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array had been broken, foreign races had invaded, and the entire Tian Yuan Realm was in peril.
Xiao Fei connected the events that had transpired in his mind, gradually understanding many things.
It was highly likely that forces from the undead realm were behind the scheme.
In the beginning, the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array in the Southern Wasteland Continent was destroyed.
This directly led to the giants invading the Southern Wasteland Continent, thereby threatening the safety of the entire Tian Yuan Realm.
This move, attacking where the enemy must defend, and killing with a borrowed knife, meant that even if the cultivators of the Tian Yuan Realm knew it was their conspiracy, they could do nothing.
The Tian Yuan Cultivation World could not possibly allow the giants to invade and had to gather their strength to deal with them.
By the time all the human Integration Stage powerhouses rushed to the Southern Wasteland Continent, other parts of the Tian Yuan Realm were in a relatively empty state.
Then, after the human Integration Stage powerhouses pursued into the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array, Ancestor Ji directly undermined them by repairing the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array, cutting off the retreat of these powerhouses.
At this point, there were very few powerhouses left in the entire Tian Yuan Realm.
This resulted in zombie and skeleton armies sweeping across the Tian Yuan Realm, and the Tian Yuan cultivators could only retreat steadily.
"You don't need to look anymore! That demon race powerhouse has already been killed by Ancestor Ji..."
Xiao Fei revealed everything he knew.
Upon hearing this, the others turned ashen.
The thirty powerhouses who had entered the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array were the hope of the entire Tian Yuan Realm, and now they were all trapped within the array.
As for the remaining Ancestor Ji and the demon race powerhouse, one was killed, and the other turned out to be a spy.
This resulted in the loss of two more Integration Stage powerhouses, which were already scarce in the Tian Yuan Realm.
"What do we do now?"
"We must enter the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array and inform the thirty powerhouses of the news, otherwise, the Tian Yuan Realm might change hands."
"But how can the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array be passed through?"
"Perhaps if we invite a few Integration Stage powerhouses, they could open a passage from the outside."
But at present, there was a shortage of manpower everywhere. The Integration Stage powerhouses of the Tian Yuan Realm were being targeted by foreign races, so where could they spare anyone?
The few of them looked at each other!
Even if Integration Stage powerhouses entered, they would get lost within. What use could they, a few individuals, be?
Wouldn't it just mean trapping a few more people?
"I'll go!"
Xiao Fei stepped forward and said.
He had entered and exited the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array many times by now and had a bold idea.
He could try to use his law domain within the array.
"Elder Xiao, do you have confidence? Meaningless sacrifice is not advisable. It's better to preserve your useful self."
Seeing that the others still wanted to dissuade him, Xiao Fei waved his hand.
"I have some confidence and want to try. Although the task is perilous, someone must do it."
As Xiao Fei spoke, he turned to fly towards the Jue Ling Suo Tian Great Array.
"Wait a moment! Elder Xiao, can you tell me where Fellow Daoist Xiao is?"
Xing Wu Ming quickly chased after him, asking. He was afraid that if Xiao Fei died outside, he wouldn't even be able to find Xiao Lan's whereabouts.
"Don't worry! I won't die, and my second sister won't die either!"
Xiao Fei turned back, his face filled with a playful smile.
"When she reappears in the martial world, she will undoubtedly be an unparalleled powerhouse, awe-inspiring the world. You should be careful!"
