After stabilizing themselves, the Immortal Venerates all glanced towards Juechen Immortal Venerate. At this moment, Chenlan Immortal Venerate asked, "Juechen, didn't you say this was just an ordinary Sealing Array?"

Juechen Immortal Venerate awkwardly replied, "My investigations indeed detected an ordinary Sealing Array, but this isn't a single array; it's a Chain Array."

"I could only explore the outer array, as for what the array inside is like, I don't know. This kind of Chain Array is somewhat laborious to break, and once an external force tries to break the first array, the second array will immediately be triggered."

Uh...

At this point, an Immortal Venerate asked, "So what should we do now?"

"If we don't break the array, how do we awaken the Star River Hall Master? Surely, we're not leaving him here forever?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Taihua Immortal Venerable was silent, he suddenly thought of something, then took out the Heavenly Flower Seal. The Heavenly Flower Seal was constructed with the Qi Fortune gathered from the Heavenly Splendor Hall, inside which anything would be suppressed by the Heavenly Flower Seal.

Arrays are no exception.

Seeing Taihua Immortal Venerable take out the Heavenly Flower Seal, Juechen Immortal Venerate immediately exclaimed, "That's right, Hall Master could try to use the Heavenly Flower Seal. If you can suppress the array with the Heavenly Flower Seal, we can break it with force."

Taihua Immortal Venerable didn't hesitate, directly activating the Heavenly Flower Seal, and in the next moment, it emitted a purple light.

When the purple light shone on the stone door, it began to tremble, and the next instant, terrifying Sword Qi burst forth from it. These Sword Qi carried corrosive power, and the moment they flew out, it engendered a sense of crisis among the Immortal Venerates present.

Chenlan Immortal Venerate immediately warned everyone, "Quickly, get away!"

The Immortal Venerates swiftly moved away from the self-sealed abode of the Star River Immortal Venerate. Those soaring Sword Qi instantly flattened the nearby mountains.

Seeing the wasteland before them, the Immortal Venerates felt immense trepidation. Though the power of the Sword Qi wasn't particularly strong—considering it's possible for an Immortal Venerate to smash the entire Tianyan Immortal Domain—the corrosive power within these Sword Qi was peculiar, seemingly capable of eroding one's Divine Soul.

Once the Sword Qi dissipated, the Immortal Venerates returned to the stone door, and Chenlan Immortal Venerate spoke, "We don't even know how many arrays remain inside here."

Taihua Immortal Venerable said, "No matter how many arrays there are inside, we must find a way today to awaken the Star River Hall Master."

While speaking, Taihua Immortal Venerable activated the Heavenly Flower Seal again. The purple light it emitted bombarded the stone door once more, causing another tremor. Inside, it seemed another array was about to activate.

Taihua Immortal Venerable went all out, exerting full effort to activate the Heavenly Flower Seal. Perhaps because of the Heavenly Flower Seal's suppression, this time, the array didn't activate. Taihua Immortal Venerable immediately said to the other Immortal Venerates, "Quickly, forcibly break the array!"

Upon hearing Taihua Immortal Venerable's words, the other Immortal Venerates no longer hesitated and simultaneously began attacking, relentlessly bombarding the stone door.

This stone door had reinforcement arrays, but under the suppression of the Heavenly Flower Seal in basic array form, even a round of assault by the Immortal Venerates couldn't smash open the stone door.

At this juncture, Taihua Immortal Venerable suddenly recalled something, then activated the Heavenly Flower Seal once more, draining all the immortal power from this mountain.

Sustaining the operation of arrays requires vast amounts of immortal power, and only when the mountain's immortal power becomes thin will these arrays' effects be greatly diminished.

Although, when the Star River Immortal Venerate set up these arrays, he must have left a large number of Immortal Crystals within the abode as the source of immortal power to maintain the arrays.

However, as long as the Heavenly Flower Seal can manipulate the immortal power within the Heavenly Splendor Hall, whenever the immortal power from the Immortal Crystals is released, the Heavenly Flower Seal can transfer it elsewhere, thus the arrays within the abode will also lose their effect due to a depletion of immortal power.

Just as Taihua Immortal Venerable expected, after he redirected the mountain's immortal power, and with continuous bombardments from the Immortal Venerates, cracks appeared on the stone door.

Seeing these cracks, the Immortal Venerates increased their strength, and after approximately two hours, under the repeated assaults from various Heavenly Splendor Hall Immortal Venerates, the stone door finally shattered.

As the stone door broke, a passage appeared before them. Taihua Immortal Venerable, while activating the Heavenly Flower Seal, led the way into the abode.

The Immortal Venerates followed closely, sensing something off as they entered the passage.

Inside this abode, there seemed to be no aura or pressure from an Immortal Venerate. Even if an Immortal Venerate perished, there should still be remnants of their aura.

What's going on, could it be that the Star River Immortal Venerate isn't inside this abode?

Soon they reached the depths of the abode, where there was a vast cave hall. In the middle stood a round altar, inscribed with an array to gather Immortal Aura.

Yet, upon this altar, there was no sign of the Star River Immortal Venerate.

Seeing the empty cave hall, the Immortal Venerates on site froze.

What is this about?

Isn't this supposed to be the self-sealed place of the Star River Immortal Venerate? Why isn't he here?

Could it be the Star River Immortal Venerate deceived them, having not self-sealed, or perhaps he already broke through the First Layer Heaven and left the Heavenly Splendor Hall?

After a while, Chenlan Immortal Venerate finally spoke, "The Star River Hall Master probably broke through to the First Layer Heaven long ago and secretly left the Heavenly Splendor Hall, only we never realized."

Juechen Immortal Venerate said, "But why would he leave the Heavenly Splendor Hall?"

Taihua Immortal Venerable at this time thought of something and then said, "Did you forget the Star River Hall Master's Star Immortal Body can foresee danger?"

"He likely foresaw a catastrophe in the future, compelling him to leave."

Everyone fell into silence; they all knew what Taihua Immortal Venerable referred to as catastrophe was. For the Star River Immortal Venerate, Lu Chen was the calamity he had to face. Currently, Lu Chen is backed by Xiyue Immortal Emperor, and for an Immortal Emperor to crush an Immortal Venerate is as easy as pie.

Even if the Star River Immortal Venerate might have broken through the First Layer Heaven, he still wouldn't stand a chance against an Immortal Emperor.

Therefore, there's a possibility he chose to quietly leave the Heavenly Splendor Hall. Only he might know where he's hiding now.

Chenlan Immortal Venerate then said, "Since the Star River Hall Master has left the Heavenly Splendor Hall, Lu Chen avenging himself is no longer our concern."

The Star River Immortal Venerate has fled, if Lu Chen seeks revenge, he can pursue the Star River Immortal Venerate, and they needn't worry about whether Lu Chen would make them confront the Star River Immortal Venerate.

Upon hearing Chenlan Immortal Venerate's words, the Immortal Venerates internally breathed easier; at last, they didn't have to fret about this.

Taihua Immortal Venerable stated, "I'll first inform Lu Chen of this matter, prepare yourselves, we will soon set off for the Eastern Domain."

With that, Taihua Immortal Venerable flew towards where Lu Chen resided.

At this moment, Lu Chen stood atop a cliff at the Heavenly Splendor Hall, gazing over the entire hall, pondering something unknown.
