What is an immortal?
Chapter 874 - 844: Reappearance
Su Yingxue's mind was racing. She tidied up the books on the table and pulled out that blue notebook.
When she turned to the place where Yuan Ming had left a message, a glint of surprise flickered in her eyes. The content recorded inside was far more detailed than she had imagined.
Especially the array map drawn by Yuan Ming, which, although slightly flawed, was overall quite accurate. Some details were even annotated, making it quite perfect.
Referring to Yuan Ming's notes, Su Yingxue reviewed the entire teleportation array, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Then, she saw the draft composed of array runes left by Yuan Ming. Initially, she was slightly taken aback, but then a look of understanding appeared in her eyes.
She naturally recognized that this was actually using obscure means to convey information about the Hell Demon Lord to her, while also indirectly reminding her to be more cautious.
It seemed that the matter of Li Zheng had attracted some people's attention, leading them to suspect her.
However, she was confident that her current actions could not be more "normal."
But all of this was no longer important.
In just a few thoughts, Su Yingxue sorted out many clues, though a faint smile crossed her lips.
She seemed a bit tired as she reached out to pinch the space between her eyebrows, then closed her eyes, and meditated for a moment in breathing control.
However, when she opened her eyes again, they suddenly gleamed with vitality. Suddenly, she lifted her hand, and several beams of light of various colors shot out, disappearing into the corners of the cell.
A dense, white mist appeared on the stone walls surrounding the area and quickly spread across the entire cell, completely blocking all voyeurism.
As she formed a spell with her hands, a series of incantations were recited, and a low humming sound ensued. A silver light veil appeared, almost adhering to the outer white fog wall.
In the silver light veil, dots of golden light flickered, almost covering the entire veil.
These Forbidden Arrays were evidently set up by her long ago, and before being triggered, nothing could be noticed by outsiders.
Almost simultaneously with her activation of the second layer of the formation, a series of dull drum beats resounded, causing the surface of the silver light veil to tremble violently, as if struck by some intense force.
Yet, after numerous golden lights flared briefly on the surface of the veil, they transformed into a stream of light that rapidly spread across it, immediately stabilizing the previously trembling silver light veil.
Su Yingxue seemed to remain indifferent to all of this, her expression unchanged.
She brought her fingers together, and a glimmer of golden light shone at her fingertips, as she suddenly pointed to various acupoints on her body.
"Bang, bang"
With each strike at an acupoint, a collision sound echoed beneath her fingertips, and a golden ripple spread out.
Under the collision of layers of ripples, a translucent covering robe surrounding her body gradually came into view, with dark red array patterns beginning to appear on it.
This was a Forbidden Array imposed on Su Yingxue by the Nihility Prison after an accident with the Teleportation Array, and it was more formidable than before.
Su Yingxue's eyes revealed a trace of disdain. This was a garment formed by Forbidden Arrays, its function was to suppress her physique, cutting off her ability to absorb nature's spiritual energy, thus keeping the mana she could absorb at an extremely low level.
As her fingertip movements accelerated, one by one starlight-like points lingered on the surface of the Forbidden garment, interlocking with each other to form a formation.
Breaking an array with another array was a common technique employed by Array Masters to break prohibitions.
Su Yingxue's final finger point landed at the center of her chest, instantly causing the golden formation to radiate with golden light that spread outwards, extending to every corner of the Forbidden garment.
Wherever the golden light reached, the red prohibition array patterns quickly dissolved and disappeared within a few breaths.
"Su Yingxue, what are you doing?" a fierce shout from a red-clothed woman came from outside the prison, with several serpent-like red lights shooting toward Su Yingxue, only to be blocked by the silver light veil.
Su Yingxue regained her freedom, with a slight turn of her wrist, a cyan ring formation appeared beneath her feet.
It wasn't a high-grade formation, just a simple Spirit Gathering Array.
With the operation of the array, the surrounding spiritual energy rushed like a tide, forming a vortex in the center of the Great Array, enveloping Su Yingxue within.
The sound of impact from the silver light veil continued, and the tremors of the veil intensified, while the golden light covering it continued to diminish, leaving only a small portion remaining.
Su Yingxue gently shook both sleeves, from which two cyclones emerged out of thin air, while a Dao Seal appeared on each arm. The spiritual energy enveloping her was swiftly drawn into her sleeves like a dragon absorbing water.
Su Yingxue was absorbing the spiritual energy with astonishing speed, and soon her once desolate and depleted dantian became full.
With the final piece of golden light on the silver light veil collapsing, the entire veil began to tremble violently, on the verge of collapse. Catch the formatted version at *.
The inner white fog wall, which isolated divine sense, shattered directly ahead of time.
"You're trying to escape! Stop your foolish actions, or you know better than anyone what awaits you!" The red-clothed woman's expression changed dramatically as she coldly spoke.
"Why are you wasting words with her now? Act with full force and suppress this woman!" A tall figure appeared out of thin air as yellow light flashed in the prison, it was none other than Jiao Shan.
Accompanying the voice, a large yellow seal flew out from Jiao Shan, smashing heavily onto the silver light veil.
The trembling of the light screen intensified, with cracks appearing on its surface, yet it still firmly blocked the way.
Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow and smiled, stretching lazily, her beautiful eyes narrowing in comfort.
Then, as she gently waved her hand, golden light traces spiraled upward around her, forming a semi-transparent golden array.
"We'll meet again," Su Yingxue said softly.
As her words fell, the golden array shone brightly for a moment before it quickly extinguished.
When the light array disappeared, Su Yingxue was nowhere to be seen within the prison, along with all her classics and books.
Almost in the next instant, with a "bang," the silver light screen finally couldn't hold, collapsing completely.
Then two figures flashed in: they were Jiao Shan and the red-clothed woman.
Seeing the empty prison cell, they were shocked and immediately took out Sound Transmission Talismans, intending to do something.
However, the next moment, a thunderous boom echoed through the Nihility Prison, an energy wave sweeping through, causing Jiao Shan and the red-clothed woman to stagger.
Jiao Shan's face changed dramatically, sensing the direction of the wave, and shouted in alarm, "Oh no! Something happened over at the Teleportation Array..."
As soon as his words fell, he and the red-clothed woman rushed in that direction.
But when they arrived, all they could see was a mess in the expansive hall, and the Teleportation Array had already been destroyed.
"Neither of you could even watch a person, letting that Array Master escape," the cold and icy voice of the Hell Demon Lord rang out from the side.
"You couldn't stop her either?" Jiao Shan wasn't questioning, just incredulous.
"An Array Master of her level is too difficult to kill," the Hell Demon Lord said coldly.
...
Meanwhile, deep within the Demon Wind Cave.
By the stele that recorded the Demon Qi Technique, a golden array appeared from nothing, and Su Yingxue emerged from it.
The body-shaping demon wind roared around, the Wind Blades like knives, their sound like ghostly wails, yet when they touched her, it felt like a gentle spring breeze, unable to harm her in the slightest.
Above Su Yingxue's head, white light gathered like a tiny sun hanging there, within which floated a rune-covered Dao Seal.
It was the power released from this Dao Seal that protected her, causing the terrifying demon wind to bypass her.
Su Yingxue walked quickly toward the depths of the Demon Wind Cave, stopping only at a stone wall at the deepest point. She bowed deeply to it, then knelt down in homage.
Sitting cross-legged at the base of the stone wall was a figure.
His body was enveloped in dense black air, making his appearance indistinguishable.
At this moment, he seemed to be cultivating an Evil Technique, his body swelling like a balloon or shrinking swiftly to the size of a small child.
In this expansion and contraction, the swirling demonic qi and demon wind in the cave were all absorbed into his body, completely devoured.
"Sect Hierarch, I have announced your assumption as the Three Realms Sect Leader," Su Yingxue said respectfully, head lowered.
The bizarre figure swelled again and then started to slowly shrink.
This time, he directly returned to normal adult size and didn't continue shrinking, revealing a clear face—a gentle, scholar-like young man's face.
"You've done well," the young man smiled and said.
"I've leaked the information to Jin Mu; Ancestor Bing Lan might make a move," Su Yingxue dared to raise her head slightly and said.
"Bing Lan? Meeting him isn't bad, but how did you leak the information? The Hell Demon Lord likely wouldn't help," the young man nodded, the black air on his body quickly forming a black robe.
"Recently, a mysterious figure infiltrated the Nihility Prison, possibly a Soul Cultivator under the Void Moon Demon Emperor. The Void Moon Demon Emperor and Sect Hierarch have a decent relationship. With a bit of luck, I asked him to transmit the message, and unexpectedly, it worked..." Su Yingxue recounted the developments in detail.
"Oh, he could control your body, and you were unaware of it? This person is quite formidable. Could it be the Thousand-faced Demon Lord under the Void Moon Demon Emperor? Or..." The young man's body suddenly trembled, as if he recalled something.
"How many times did he possess you? How long was each interval?" The young man abruptly turned to Su Yingxue and asked.
"Four or five times, the intervals varied, sometimes seven or eight days, sometimes over ten," Su Yingxue was startled by the young man's change, carefully recalling before answering.
"Seven or eight days, over ten days, ha ha, I understand now," the young man laughed, seeming quite pleased.
"Sect Hierarch, do you know who he is?" Su Yingxue asked.
"Can't guess. But I now know his means; never thought the Stealing Heaven Tripod would reappear," the young man said.
