The original repairer

Chapter 318: Portal and Floating City

Han Xiao was secretly amazed in his heart. An eighth-level formation master was extremely rare in the world of immortal cultivation. This Shi Chen was indeed unfathomable.

The flying boat continued to fly towards the place where the spiritual power was moving. Suddenly, a faint light appeared in the sky ahead, and the light gradually expanded.

In Han Xiao's eyes, all kinds of strange runes appeared in the air. Although he had seen it many times, he was still shocked by this scene every time.

Shi Chen carefully sensed his surroundings, exploring the void. He verified the various runes in the sky one by one, and his brows furrowed slightly. He discovered that these runes, though seemingly chaotic, actually contained a profound pattern.

This pattern is subtly related to some ancient formations he is familiar with, but there are also many differences.

"These runes are not simple. They seem to be a kind of space-guiding runes, but they are also mixed with other restrictive powers." Shi Chen said softly, with a hint of caution in his eyes.

Han Xiao listened from the side, his admiration for Shi Chen growing even stronger. He knew that although he had seen this kind of scene many times, his understanding of runes was far inferior to Shi Chen's.

As the flying boat got closer, the light became brighter and the runes became clearer.

Shi Chen's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly asked, "When you entered the floating city before, did you enter after it had fully manifested? Or did you enter the teleportation point during the void teleportation, as you are doing now?"

"After the floating city appeared, I searched for a secret way into the city," Han Xiao quickly replied. Noticing Shi Chen's strange behavior, he continued to ask, "Is there something different? Many cultivators teleport directly into the floating city after it appeared, and they haven't encountered any danger."

Shi Chen turned the flying boat around and flew towards the periphery where the runes appeared. "I've noticed something. We'll enter after the floating city is fully revealed."

In a few breaths, the flying boat rushed out of the range where the void runes appeared. Ten feet away, the two stood in the flying boat, watching the flashing runes that were becoming more and more solid.

"How long will it take for the Void City to appear?" Shi Chen asked softly as he observed the runes in front of him.

"I've experienced it three times, and each time was different. Two times it only took a cup of tea, and one time it solidified and manifested in less than five breaths." Han Xiao replied.

"The magic weapon in your hand comes from the floating city? This should be a magic weapon for locating the floating city, right?" Shi Chen turned around and looked at the crystal ball in Han Xiao's hand beside him and said.

"This is a floating city tracking device. It comes from the floating city. My father and I accidentally obtained it when we first entered the floating city. Whenever the floating city appears, it can sense its approximate location." Han Xiao told the truth.

"Can you let me study it for a while?" Shi Chen asked, looking at the crystal ball.

Han Xiao hesitated for a moment. After all, this tracking device was of great significance to his search for the floating city, but Shi Chen had just saved his life, and they were now in a cooperative relationship.

Thinking of this, he handed the crystal ball to Shi Chen and said, "Senior, please be careful. This magic weapon is very important to me."

Shi Chen took the crystal ball and looked at it carefully.

He discovered that the crystal ball was covered with tiny runes, which emitted faint spiritual fluctuations and had some similarities with the runes he had just seen in the void.

He mobilized his spiritual power and slowly injected it into the crystal ball, trying to explore the mystery within.

As Shi Chen injected his spiritual power, the runes in the crystal ball began to light up.

"Hmm?" Shi Chen withdrew his spiritual power. He found that the tiny runes in the crystal ball were very similar to the runes in the void in front of him.

The runes in the void flickered regularly, as if guiding something. After the spiritual power was injected into the crystal ball in the hand, the order in which the tiny runes were injected could be chosen.

Seeing that the runes in the void outside the flying boat were flashing faster and more condensed, Shi Chen re-injected his spiritual power into the crystal ball magic weapon and quickly lit up the tiny runes in the crystal ball according to the order in which the runes in the void were flashing.

hum!

When the spiritual power lit up the last tiny rune in the crystal ball magic weapon, the crystal ball magic weapon shot out a ray of spiritual light, passed through the flying boat's protective formation, and entered the void rune.

In a moment, the runes in the air outside the flying boat seemed to have a spirit, linking and arranging with each other to form a door that was ten feet high and half a foot wide.

What is this? Space teleportation?

Shi Chen stared at the door made of runes, his eyes full of caution and curiosity.

Han Xiao's eyes widened. He had never seen anything like it before. Although he had entered the floating city many times, this was the first time he had seen a space portal opened by a special method.

"Senior, I have entered the floating city three times, and each time I did it this way. This crystal ball magic weapon can actually summon a portal. Should we go in?" Han Xiao asked hesitantly.

Shi Chen did not answer immediately. He was carefully observing the runes on the door.

These runes flashed with strange light, as if conveying some kind of message. Shi Chen tried to decipher this information, but the runes were too complex, and at the moment he could only understand a small part of it.

Buzz! Just as Shi Chen was about to further study the runes of the space portal, a chime sounded in the air, and a huge floating city appeared before his eyes.

In a split second, the entire floating city was once again shielded by the formation, vanishing from sight. Neither his spiritual consciousness nor his eyes could detect the floating city.

In a split second, both of them took a quick glance with their naked eyes and saw part of the floating city.

The city walls were tall and thick, emitting a soft halo that seemed to contain countless rune prohibitions. Every few steps on the wall, there was a watchtower with a huge spirit crystal embedded on the top. The light emitted by the spirit crystal illuminated the entire floating city.

The main road in the city is paved with green jade slabs, and various buildings are lined up on both sides of the empty road.

Houses and pavilions, roads and alleys intersect and extend to the surrounding area. At the end of the avenue, a city gate blocks the way and a city wall rises.

Looking behind the city wall, you can vaguely see a large hall, standing tall and majestic, simple and solemn, as if hiding endless majesty. It is very different from other buildings in the city, highlighting its unusualness.

Shi Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Han Xiao intently, and asked curiously, "You've been to the floating city three times. Were they all in the same place, or different places?"

Han Xiao raised his head slightly, a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and slowly said, "Each time we entered a different place. The first time, my father and I appeared directly in a small alley, with red doors and jade thresholds on both sides. Finally, we found an open gate and went in to explore, and found this crystal ball artifact in an ordinary house."

"Are there any other gains?" Shi Chen's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Nothing else was gained," Han Xiao shook his head slightly, a trace of regret on his face. "We didn't know what restriction we had touched, but when we walked out of the room, we were instantly transported out of the floating city and landed in the Xiyuan Sea."

"What about the second time? What happened?" Shi Chen asked curiously while thinking.

"The second time I accidentally took out this crystal ball, after transferring spiritual power into it, I could have a special feeling and knew the approximate location where the floating city would appear next time. This time, I entered a garden, or to be more precise, a garden of various spiritual medicines. In my joy, I picked three fourth-level spiritual medicines and was teleported out. This time, I was teleported into the air." Han Xiao lowered his head, as if recalling the panic and confusion at that time.
