After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 78 Hidden Island

After the supplies were distributed, the four discussed how to leave.

At first, Su Luo tried using the Wind Boat or the Flying Talisman, but found that the Wind Boat didn't respond at all, and the Flying Talisman couldn't fly to the top.

Chu Wenqing tried out the newly acquired flying device, but it also failed to respond.

Undeterred, Su Luo took out the flying carpet and Bagua compass from her storage bag, but still there was no response.

It seems that even though the compass is damaged, this place is still affected by the no-fly barrier.

Feng Xiyue couldn't help but click her tongue, "Flying up won't work."

Su Luo sighed, thinking of the array book she had just acquired, "Let me try and see if the array works."

After saying that, she walked to the side, sat down cross-legged, took out a book on formations and read it carefully, intending to put what she had learned into practice immediately.

Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue had no choice but to wander around, looking for any other way to leave.

Lin Ji stayed by Su Luo's side as usual.

Time passed by, and before we knew it, the sky seemed to brighten a little, but it quickly darkened again.

Lin Ji looked up at the sky, but actually used his divine sense to check the situation at sea without making a sound. Suddenly, his expression changed and he stood up abruptly.

"Not good."

Dark clouds loomed overhead, and the sea was no longer calm; this was the prelude to a storm.

All three were bewildered. "What happened?"

"It's getting dark, and there might be a storm later. I'm worried that the seawater will slowly close in due to the storm."

"What?! No way?!"

Chu Wenqing suddenly jumped up from the ground, stood on tiptoe and looked up at the sky, but could only see a gloomy patch of sky. "But I can't see anything..."

Su Luo looked at the water walls on both sides and frowned, saying, "Lin Ji's guess is not unreasonable. We need to find a way out quickly. Staying here for a long time is not a solution."

Feng Xiyue's heart sank slightly. "That's true. But we're not sure if the seawater will close, and we can't tell..."

"let me see……"

Chu Wenqing bit her finger hesitantly, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She turned and walked step by step from one side of the water wall to the other, muttering, "1, 2, 3... 25..."

The group, unaware of what he was doing, simply stared at him.

When Chu Wenqing reached the opposite water wall and looked up, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

"Holy crap! The distance really has shrunk!"

Feng Xiyue asked anxiously, "How are you so sure?"

"I measured it with my own feet! I counted when I was bored before, and it was 168 steps from here to the other side, but now it's only 120 steps! The sea really is closing in!"

Normally, everyone would say that Chu Wenqing was incredibly bored, actually thinking of measuring distances on the ground with his feet. But now, his actions just happened to confirm Lin Ji's guess.

The situation is critical! They need to find a way to leave immediately!

Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue panicked, jumping around frantically, searching for any other mechanisms to leave.

Su Luo's expression was not good. She lowered her head and continued to fiddle with the compass in her hand.

The array book left by the original owner states that a special teleportation array is engraved on the compass he left behind, which can send them to the island where he previously stayed.

So, during this time, Su Luo was slowly trying to figure out how to use it. However, because she was learning it on the spot and hadn't quite grasped the basics yet, she hadn't succeeded.

"Gotta hurry."

Su Luo murmured to herself, trying again to transfer a wisp of spiritual energy from her body to her fingertips. The spiritual energy swirled around her fingertips as she gently turned the compass, while silently reciting the incantation for the teleportation array in her mind.

Finally! The compass lit up!

Unfortunately, her cultivation level was insufficient, and the spiritual energy in the human realm was even more scarce. The compass only lit up for a few seconds before it started to malfunction, remaining intermittently lit and unable to form a complete teleportation array.

Su Luo's heart also rose and fell with the emotions.

Time passed unnoticed, and the sea became even more turbulent, with the walls of water closing in faster and faster.

Chu Wenqing and his companion searched for a long time but found nothing. Dejected, they sat down near the stone platform, resting their chins on their hands and watching Su Luo manipulate the compass, not daring to speak or disturb her.

The entire space was so quiet it was suffocating.

With no other way out, Su Luo had no choice but to grit her teeth and keep trying the formation.

Midway through, Chu Wenqing came over and sponsored a bag of spirit stones. His explanation was: "According to the novels and stories I've read, when a formation master is setting up a formation, he can use a large number of spirit stones to replenish the spiritual energy. Su Luo, your cultivation is not high enough, so you can use external objects to replenish your spiritual energy."

Feng Xiyue thought he made sense, so she took out all her spirit stones and gave them to Su Luo.

Inspired by Chu Wenqing, Su Luo remembered that she had two healing talismans. So, with the combined effect of the healing talismans and the spirit stone, she endured the slight pain in her spiritual platform and channeled all her spiritual power into the compass.

Seeing her sweat pouring down her back and her reckless behavior, Lin Ji's eyes flashed, and he gently supported her, slowly channeling spiritual energy into her without Su Luo noticing.

At the same time, he comforted her, saying, "Su Luo, don't be too anxious. It will take some time before the seawater completely closes in."

Su Luo didn't reply to him. She felt her spiritual power surge, and her surroundings were filled with spiritual energy.

Finally, after the twelfth attempt, the compass lit up completely, and a huge beam of light shot into the sky.

"It's open! The teleportation array is open!"

"Great!"

Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue shouted excitedly.

Su Luo let out a long sigh of relief, relaxed completely, and fell backward, only to fall directly into Lin Ji's arms.

Lin Ji put his arm around her and wiped her forehead with his sleeve. "Are you alright?"

Su Luo had almost exhausted all her spiritual energy and couldn't move at all. She could only nestle in Lin Ji's arms, shake her head, and whisper, "It's nothing, I just ran out of spiritual energy and have no strength left."

Lin Ji pursed his lips, picked up Su Luo in one swift motion, and headed straight for the pillar of light.

"let's go."

Su Luo was so tired that she couldn't even lift a finger. Knowing that Lin Ji meant well, she didn't refuse.

Seeing this, Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue quickly followed.

"gone!"

The four stepped into the formation one after the other, and instantly felt dizzy. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves standing on a flat grassy field.

What comes into view is a vast expanse of various flowering trees, pink peach blossoms, white pear blossoms, and red apricot blossoms, each vying for attention and exuding a captivating fragrance.

The group continued walking through the grove of flowers and trees. Before they even left the grove, they came across a huge lake. A water bridge connected the shore to the other side of the lake, and on the opposite side of the lake was a bamboo pavilion.

Beyond the pavilion, they could vaguely see a wooden house in the distance, surrounded by open fields that seemed to be filled with spiritual plants, a lush and green scene. Behind the house was a high mountain, indistinct and hazy, its destination unknown.

The entire island is so beautiful it's like a fairyland.

Only then did everyone believe that they had finally arrived at the secluded island.
