Will the teleportation array at the mountain gate in Cangyuan disappear?

The answer is no.

The dungeon exit is the dungeon exit; no matter how recklessly players behave inside the Dome Palace, it will always be there waiting for them.

But now it's gone.

Xu Yuan felt he should have been able to think of this.

Whether it was because a powerful spy was discovered inside the mountain gate and preparations were made to trap him, or because foreign enemies were invading and besieging the city, this teleportation array located at the entrance of the palace gate would inevitably be forcibly shut down.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan asked:

"Old Man Luo, do you have a way to break this formation and force it to activate?"

When his Will Soul linked to the Heaven Peering Array just now, he did not sense any powerful attack array at this mountain gate, so forcibly activating it should not attract other arrays.

"No way."

The Saint's Remnant Soul shattered Xu Yuan's thoughts with a single sentence.

"." Xu Yuan.

The voice of the Saint's Remnant Soul is very straightforward:

"If someone skilled in formations were here, activating this teleportation array wouldn't be difficult, but unfortunately, this old man doesn't know how."

Xu Yuan felt this old man was very unreliable. "You've lived for over ten thousand years, and you've been sleeping in the Soul Ring all this time?"

The sage chuckled, not in a hurry at all. "Not entirely. I've been awake for about a thousand years, but I've spent most of my time researching Cultivation Method. I've never been interested in the Dao of Formations since I was a child."

"Alright, enough about me. What are you planning to do now?"

"."

Xu Yuan paused for a few breaths, glanced at the imposing jade gate, and uttered a single word:

"Wait."

Once Tianyan is killed, the Mountain Protection Array automatically shut down.

"Wait?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul chuckled slightly, then said leisurely, "Actually, large sects like the Qionghua Sect usually have a backup plan to avoid losing even their inheritance when they are wiped out. There should be other hidden teleportation arrays inside this mountain gate, but such places are generally only used by the sect's high-ranking members."

"Old Man Luo, stop testing me," Xu Yuan interrupted.

"."

The Saint's Remnant Soul, unfazed by being exposed, answered straightforwardly:

"Alright, I was being nosy. But if you're willing to wait, young Xu, it might take a while."

"What do you mean?" Xu Yuan frowned.

The Saint's Remnant Soul pointed to the great formation above his head and said with a chuckle:

"The crazy woman we just saw was clearly not mentally sound. Are you expecting her to stop the formation?"

Xu Yuan's expression changed:

"Does the closing of the Mountain Protection Array require manual control?"

"Nature."

"."

Xu Yuan paused for a moment, then glanced at Ran Qingmo, who was standing quietly to the side.

After a moment's thought, Ran Qingmo replied:

"Mr. Luo isn't lying to you. Generally, once a sect's Mountain Protection Array is fully activated, it requires the unanimous consent of the sect's leaders or elders to be deactivated."

As soon as he finished speaking,

The Saint's Remnant Soul smiled and explained:

"The reason for this is obvious if you think about it. After all, an array is an inanimate object. If it automatically shuts down when it can't detect an enemy, then it would be too easy to break."

Xu Yuan remained silent, then asked in a low voice:

"How long will it take for the formation to disappear?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul controlled the Heaven Peering Array to investigate the various activated arrays within the Dome Palace, and replied:

"It won't be too long. If the Source Qi in this space is sufficient, these formations will all be rendered useless in five to eight years at most, after all, they are all ancient relics over 20,000 years old."

Xu Yuan's eye twitched.

Five to eight years?

For you old Bi Deng, this world isn't that long. If he stays here for eight years, the Great Yan Dynasty outside will probably be in complete chaos.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan glanced at Ran Qingmo beside him.

Ran Qingmo also looked at Xu Yuan, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

She thought of the Tianyuan Sword Sect.

According to Tianyan's prophecy, the Tianyuan Sword Sect's demise is less than two years away.

The Saint's Remnant Soul was completely unconcerned about these things, and continued to smile as he said:

"Young Xu, how about taking this opportunity to consider modifying my old man's Cultivation Method? I spent over a thousand years researching and improving it, referencing the Yantian Art and other peerless Cultivation Method."

"If you cultivate it, with my guidance and your talent, you should be able to reach the Body Fusion within five years. If you cultivate it faster, you might even have a chance to become a Grandmaster."

His words were seductive.

Xu Yuan listened without saying anything, gave the old man a meaningful look, and then chuckled softly.

I'll give you a look; figure it out yourself.

"."

The Saint's Remnant Soul remained expressionless, but a chill ran through him, as if he had been completely seen through.

Without revealing the other party's hidden thoughts, Xu Yuan simply said softly:

"No, we have to get out."

Forcibly gathering his thoughts, the Saint's Remnant Soul coughed lightly and asked:

"Hey, kid Xu, didn't you come here to seize fortuitous opportunity? Once Tianyan is killed by that madwoman, won't this place be safe?"

"I just checked using the Heaven Peering Array. The arrays in the Qionghua Sect's training rooms and some parts of the spirit medicine garden are still functioning. You have the Saintess Soul Key, so you can come and go freely in many places. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

The main character dies too young.

Even before his death, he was still scheming and plotting with a group of lowly henchmen, and had no right to get involved in the Prime Minister's Estate's plans.

The Saint's Remnant Soul who had been following him was naturally completely unaware of this.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan didn't bother to explain to the old man, but instead asked:

"Old Man Luo, to use the Daoist temple, you must possess both Source Qi and Will Soul, right?"

Upon hearing this, the Saint's Remnant Soul immediately recalled the madwoman from before and keenly sensed a trace of unease.

He asked in a solemn voice:

"Young Xu, what are you trying to do?"

Xu Yuan's eyes were calm as he uttered a single sentence:

"Kill that Red-Clad Woman; she has the Sect Master Token on her."

Killing her will yield the Sect Master Token, which can then be used to control the Mountain Protection Array.

The Saint's Remnant Soul immediately spoke up to refute this:

"Kid, that woman is First-Grade Mortal Shedding!"

Xu Yuan turned around, stared at the soul, and smiled:

"Old Man Luo, didn't you just say not to be superstitious about cultivation levels?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul tried to dissuade him. "That's a matter between the Origin Beginning and the Mortal Shedding. You're just a seventh-rank cultivator; they could shatter you with a single breath."

"Isn't there you I still have?" Xu Yuan said with a smile.

The Saint's Remnant Soul stared at Xu Yuan, uttering each word slowly and deliberately:

"I can't protect you in front of someone this powerful."

Xu Yuan waved his hand casually:

"No need to worry, I'm confident in my abilities. Let's go back."

"You're not confident at all! That's Mortal Shedding!"

The Saint's Remnant Soul uttered profanities for the first time.

Now that his Heart Demon Knot, if Xu Changtian is determined to die, then he too will have to perish here.

Xu Yuan smiled and said:

"Old Man Luo, believe me, this time, the worst that can happen is you'll be buried with me."

"..." The Saint's Remnant Soul twitched at the corner of its mouth.

They stared at each other in silence for a long time.

Knowing he couldn't dissuade him, the Saint's Remnant Soul sighed and said:

"How do you plan to kill me?"

Xu Yuan replied calmly:

"If you're right, then the madwoman, as a soul, can use a Daoist temple, so she must have a body that generates Source Qi for her."
