Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 588 Diary
Four hours later, inside the tower.

"call……"

On the cold altar, Xin Lailai slowly opened his eyes, felt the slowly flowing circulation of magic power in his body, and let out a long sigh.

Only when you enter a world where even breathing is poisonous, you can understand the ingenuity of the energy cycle designed by 83203.

Normally speaking, even if they have the power of a master of magic or a master of heavy sword, due to the characteristics of the energy of the abyss, as long as they stay in this world, they will inevitably be eroded.

Relying on the energy circulation path designed by 83203, they can deposit all the trace abyss energy in their bodies in one place through repeated energy circulation, and then use annihilation to eliminate it all at once. This is a vital help for pioneers like them who need to constantly enter and exit the abnormal world.

It can be said that the further Xin Lailai progressed on the academic path, the more he felt his insignificance and ignorance on this path. There were too many things in this world that were beyond his current wisdom and vision to understand. The inspiration that made him so excited that he couldn't sleep when he was a master, when he looked back after becoming a grandmaster, he felt that it was just the same thing.

"Ling Yuzi, how is the situation over there?"

After simply moving his limbs, Xin Lailai glanced at the Death Master and Yamu who were still meditating, as well as the Little White Saint who was sleeping in the arms of the Black Knight. He did not disturb them, but communicated with Ling Yuzi in his mind.

"Hmm... I have explored about 40,000 kilometers ahead. I have sent you the details, Lailai."

Forty thousand kilometers? How could they explore that far in four hours?!

When Xin Lailai heard the reply from Ling Yuzi, she was slightly stunned. A look of surprise appeared on her face. She quickly opened the map sent by Ling Yuzi and started to check it.

I see, this is the reason...

After a while, Xin Lailai looked at the map in front of him, his expression changed slightly, and he understood in his mind why Ling Yuzi was able to explore such a wide area in just four hours.

Because, after crossing the Holy Wall, the filthy power that should have become increasingly strong... suddenly disappeared.

Judging from the color markings on the map, about a thousand kilometers past the fortress, the concentration of the surrounding filth suddenly dropped significantly, even reaching a level lower than that of the tower. It was not until approaching the royal capital that the concentration of filthy power began to rise sharply again.

If you raise the angle of view to observe, you will find that the map in front of you looks like a large amount of filthy power is blocked near the holy wall, resulting in an extremely high concentration of filthy power in that area, while the filthy power between the holy wall and the royal capital seems to be attracted away by some force, causing its filthy concentration to drop significantly, even directly reduced to the level that allows souls to move freely.

It is precisely because of this that Ling Yuzi was able to explore such a vast area in such a short time. After all, without any obstacles, the speed of movement of the soul body is simply incomparable to that of the flesh and blood body.

"By the way, Lailai, I have collected some pure white crystals that I found and have placed them all in the storage space. Remember to install them for Lily."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Ling Yuzi's voice sounded in Xin Lailai's mind. Upon hearing it, Xin Lailai nodded slightly, comforted the girl in his mind, and at the same time looked at his storage space and took out all the three pure white crystals in it.

——According to the Black Knight's description, in order to reopen the isolation barrier, the White Kingdom prepared a total of nine array bases, four of which were located at the border of the kingdom, four were located inside the kingdom, and one was located in the center of the royal capital.

Unfortunately, because the filth erupted from underground, these array bases were swallowed up by the ghost army before they could be used. Although the Black Knight and other guardians tried to retake those areas, they were blocked by the ghost army and the overlord-level filthy creatures, and finally had to give up the plan.

After all, the guardians are different from the ghosts. They cannot be resurrected in the black rain at any time like the filthy creatures even if they die. In addition, there is the risk of erosion brought by the filthy power itself. In this case, it is extremely difficult to recover a territory occupied by overlord-level filthy creatures and several lord-level filthy creatures. Not to mention that if you want to completely release the isolation barrier, you must recover all the array bases, which is simply impossible to accomplish under the conditions at the time.

Therefore, according to Xin Lailai's original plan, they should have first recovered the two pure white crystals located on the east and west sides of the border, and then recovered the three white crystals in the White Kingdom one by one except for the capital and the northern region. Unexpectedly, Ling Yuzi directly recovered the three white crystals, which was a pure surprise.

"In this way, there is no need to waste too much time."

Xin Lailai glanced at the map area of ​​the White Kingdom where most of the fog had dissipated, and with an idea, he sent a message to Yamu and the Death Keeper who were meditating.

"Hmm? Brother Black Sword, what's wrong?"

The next second, Yamu opened his eyes with some confusion and looked in the direction of Xin Lailai, while the Death Executioner stood up from the ground with an indifferent expression and took out his weapon from the storage space.

"Nothing, it's just that our plan may have to be accelerated a little bit, and we don't need to prepare for so long."

Xin Lailai spoke up, sharing the map detected by Ling Yuzi with the two of them, and said:

"Ling Yuzi has already collected three pure white crystals, which means we only need to recover the two crystals located on the east and west sides of the border. Considering the distance and time issues, I personally suggest adjusting the plan to set up a one-way teleportation array, and I will go there to recover them with my soul body. How do you think?"

According to their original plan, because it would take quite a while for Ling Yuzi to explore the territory of the White Kingdom, they wanted to slowly send it over to retrieve it, and study the situation of this world on the way, so that they would have plenty of time.

But now that Ling Yuzi has already opened up the entire map, they naturally can no longer choose this slow strategy. Although Xin Lailai said that there is no need to worry too much about time in this world, playing it safe and deliberately wasting time are two different things.

"A one-way teleportation array? This will indeed be much faster. And if you are the only one here, Brother Black Sword, the stability requirements can be relaxed a little."

When Yamu heard Xinlailai's proposal, he touched his chin and lowered his head to think.

"How long will it take to complete it at the fastest speed?"

"Brother Black Sword, what is your spatial resistance?"

"25 point."

"So high? In that case, if you are willing to be patient, Brother Black Sword, I can guarantee that I can complete the teleportation array you want within twenty minutes."

"can."

Xin Lailai replied calmly, not caring at all about the comfort of transmission.

To put it bluntly, with Yamu's current level of space science, the best he could do is build him a space orbital cannon, and the excitement brought by this level of teleportation is not even in the top three among all the teleportation methods he has experienced. This is the confidence that years of free space resistance has given him!

"Haha, Brother Black Sword is indeed a role model for us. In that case, I will start preparing right away!"

When Yamu heard Xinlailai's answer, his eyes lit up and he took decisive action.

As a half-space formation master, this was the first time that someone allowed him to not worry about the experience of teleportation at all. This was a rare opportunity to try it out. Yamu was even ready to use the formation diagram that he usually didn't dare to use.

As for the rest? Don’t ask, because it’s all about efficiency!
……

……

Twenty minutes later. "OK! Done! Brother Black Sword, I'm ready here, how are your preparations going?"

On the altar, Yamu was seen standing outside an extremely simple-looking formation, looking at Xin Lailai with some anticipation.

"Brother Yamu, just start it."

Xin Lailai sat cross-legged with a calm expression. With a thought, his soul walked out of his body and stood in the formation diagram. There was no fear on his face.

"Great! I wish Brother Black Sword a safe journey~!"

Upon hearing this, Yamu grinned and activated the teleportation array in front of him with great anticipation. The Death Keeper beside him also cast his eyes over silently, and then...

boom--! !

Then a dazzling golden light burst out from Xin Lailai's body, accurately blocking the vibration interval during the transmission. Along with Xin Lailai's happy expression, it disappeared from the spot along with him. Only Yamu stood there with his mouth slightly open, seemingly unable to react to Xin Lailai's previous operation.

Since when... can something like teleportation shock be used to trigger blocking?

……

On the other side, the White Kingdom, the eastern border.

boom--! !

[Tip: The "White Boundary" effect has been triggered, and the duration of the "White Boundary" has been refreshed]

In a harbor filled with a faint stench of decay and the fishy smell of sea water, a dazzling golden light, swept by the fluctuations of the silver-white space, heavily slammed onto the sea surface, creating a wave tens of meters high.

When the waves calmed down, a figure without facial features that looked like a puppet walked out of the sea and finally stood steadily on the harbor.

Yamu, that guy, really doesn't show any mercy when it comes to being ruthless...

Xin Lailai glanced down at the alchemical doll she was attached to, sensing that more than 7,000 points of protective energy had been consumed. The flexible metal on the alchemical doll's face corresponding to the eyelids moved slightly.

Fortunately, he is a blocking master with the passive skill of the fifth master, otherwise, if it were an ordinary user of the third master skill, he might not be able to withstand this teleportation.

However, at least there was no deviation in the destination of the transmission. From this point of view, the other party's transmission was quite reliable.

Xin Lailai raised his head and looked around, expanding the star field, sensing the harbor scene in front of him, and finally focusing his gaze on the tall tower that looked like a lighthouse. With a thought, he stepped on the magic crystal, ignored the octopus-like ghosts slowly crawling around, and quickly came to the front of the tall tower. Looking at the metal door that had become mottled due to the humid air and the erosion of filthy power, he pressed his arm directly on it, exerting a little force.

Om-! !

The next second, a faint wave spread out from the metal door, knocking Xin Lailai's hand away from the door, making him slightly startled.

Is this... a spell?
Xin Lailai sensed the familiar fluctuations in front of her that she did not immediately notice because they were covered by the filthy power. Her eyes moved slightly, and the energy of her soul surged, adjusting the penetration strength of the Star Luo Domain to the maximum. She instantly took in the metal gate and even the scene behind it.

As the Starry Field unfolded, the first thing he 'saw' was an altar that was very similar to the one inside the tower where they found Saint Little White, followed by a spiral staircase and a series of slightly shabby floors. When he climbed all the way up the stairs to the top, what came into view was a pure white crystal quietly hanging on the ceiling, emitting an extremely weak beam of light, and... a skeleton surrounded by manuscript paper.

Already dead?

Xin Lailai sensed the residual fluctuations of magic power on the corpse inside the lighthouse. After confirming that it was consistent with the magic power used in the spell cast on the gate, he recorded the spell that he had never seen before into his spiritual world, easily destroyed it, and pushed open the metal door in front of him.

Buzz, rumble—! !

The dull sound of a door being pushed open echoed from the lifeless harbor, startling a few crows that had built their nests on top of the lighthouse. The air with a slightly foul smell slapped the face of the alchemy doll and mixed with the dust that was rising all around.

Da da da……

Steady footsteps echoed from the empty interior of the lighthouse. Xin Lailai casually set up a crystal barrier that was harder than ordinary extraordinary metal at the door, then stepped on the crystal platform to the top of the tower, walked to the skeleton, picked up the manuscript paper scattered beside the other party, gently patted the dust on it, and examined it carefully.

……

"Glorious Calendar, Year 983, Holy Month, Day 3"

"I never thought that I would end up in such a borderland one day. Haha, maybe I am asking for trouble."

"But, can a magical elixir that can give people immortality really be a power that can be controlled by humans?"

……

"Glorious Calendar, Year 983, Holy Month, Day 5"

"It has been three days since I came here. Although I was a little depressed at the beginning, fortunately with Nove's company, I soon got out of the haze."

"I have to admit that although this city is a little remote, the air mixed with the scent of the ocean is more refreshing than the disgusting atmosphere of the capital."

"——And it was the first time I knew that Nove could actually make grilled fish."

"Perhaps, giving up those meaningless obsessions and enjoying life here is also a good choice?"

……

Diary...?

After simply scanning two paragraphs, Xin Lailai looked at the manuscript in his hand, then lowered his head to look at the corpse at his feet. Without saying anything more, he continued to read patiently.

Although it was unclear what the owner of the diary had experienced specifically, the elixir of immortality at the beginning of the diary and the owner's complaints made him realize that the diary might contain some information that they had not been able to obtain.

——At least, he didn’t think that something that a magic master would carry with him before dying would be useless.
