Lu Qing's Divine Thought Avatar observes the magnificent Star River Formation protecting the Returning Ruins Secret Realm. Reflecting on his rapid cultivation progress in less than a century, he anticipates the astonishment of Elder Azure Dragon and others upon his return. He analyzes the profound complexities of the array, noting its connection to celestial bodies and the intricate spatial folding employed by Gui Xu Taoist.

Lu Qing remained stationary, appearing as if he had become a statue amidst the expanse of the starry sky.

However, should one possess the ability to gaze into his eyes, they would discern a multitude of runes flickering within their depths.

These runes, packed densely and arranged in layers, were in a perpetual state of combination and evolution, engaged in what seemed like an extraordinarily complex deduction.

He was employing his profound understanding of Arrays to meticulously analyze the colossal Array confronting him.

This endeavor placed an immense strain upon his Heart and Spirit.

For an average cultivator, a mere examination of a fraction of this Array would suffice to deplete their Heart Power entirely.

Yet, Lu Qing stood apart; his Divine Thought was remarkably potent, and bolstered by the complete Array inheritance he possessed, his analysis proceeded slowly but without undue difficulty.

Before long, a subtle smile graced Lu Qing’s lips.

He had achieved comprehension.

More accurately, he had grasped a portion of its intricacies.

This Star River Formation was exceedingly enigmatic, a genuine Array from the Transformation Realm, and without external Superpowers, even his current Array mastery was insufficient for a complete decryption.

Nevertheless, identifying a means of entry was all that was required.

This pathway was concealed within the Array's interstices, an intentional trace of vitality left behind by the Gui Xu Taoist.

An individual completely unacquainted with Arrays would never detect its presence.

Even those skilled in Arrays, lacking the Gui Xu Taoist's specific inheritance, would also fail to discover this route.

Only someone possessing Lu Qing's extensive Array knowledge and the Gui Xu Taoist's legacy could pinpoint this particular path within the Star River Formation.

In the subsequent moment, Lu Qing's form vanished from his original position.

This was not an act of Space Shifting, but rather a seamless immersion into the Star River Formation itself.

For any other cultivator, breaching the Array without a corresponding Identity Jade would inevitably invite devastating attacks, consigning the intruder to a dire predicament.

Yet, at this juncture, Lu Qing moved like a phantom, fully integrated with the Array.

His movements flowed with the celestial workings, shifting left and right, advancing and retreating, each step precisely landing upon the Array's nodes.

His aura harmonized with the Array's fluctuations, waxing and waning, quickening and slowing, perfectly synchronized with the ebb and flow of starlight.

He became, in essence, a component of this grand Array, eliciting no response whatsoever.

Such is the profound nature of the Dao of Arrays.

It is not about forcing a breach, but about aligning with the Array, merging into it, and thereby being perceived by the Array as an intrinsic part of itself.

Lu Qing navigated the Star River Formation, passing through countless barriers and spanning multiple spatial layers, progressing toward the Array's innermost sanctum.

Shortly thereafter, a luminous curtain materialized before him.

Beyond this curtain, a celestial palace stood majestically at its heart, adorned with jade towers and golden pavilions.

This was the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.

As Lu Qing observed the light curtain, a profound sense of familiarity washed over him.

In the past, he and Little Li had spent a considerable period cultivating within these very grounds.

Now, in the blink of an eye, several decades had elapsed.

How swiftly time truly does pass.

Without a moment's hesitation, Lu Qing stepped forward, passing through the veil of light.

In the ensuing instant, he found himself within the confines of the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.

The familiar spiritual energy greeted him, and the surrounding space felt dense and unyielding.

Everything remained precisely as it was upon his departure.

The Immortal Palace continued to preside at the secret realm's center, radiating splendor, seemingly unaltered.

And just as Lu Qing traversed the light curtain, a subtle distortion in space emanated outwards.

This ripple was incredibly faint, so much so that ordinary cultivators would be utterly incapable of detecting it.

Even cultivators at the Unity Realm Stage would likely dismiss it as a mere passing breeze, giving it no further consideration.

However, for the Old Cyan Dragon, a master of the Space Dao, it served as an unmistakable signal.

Within the Immortal Palace.

The Old Cyan Dragon reposed in its abode, its eyes half-closed in a semblance of slumber.

To describe it as merely dozing would be inaccurate, as it was not truly asleep.

At its level of existence, sleep had become a superfluous necessity.

In times past, it, along with Ming Feng and others, had opted for periods of dormancy largely out of sheer boredom.

Nevertheless, since Lu Qing's re-entry into the secret realm, a sense of anticipation had taken root, dispelling any inclination to sleep.

It feared the possibility of Lu Qing returning while they were dormant, thereby delaying their awareness.

The Old Cyan Dragon maintained its habitual posture, resting with its eyes closed, extending its Divine Thought to encompass the entirety of the Gui Xu Secret Realm, vigilantly monitoring every subtle movement within it.

As the primary guardian of numerous Arrays within the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, this entity was exceptionally attuned to any spatial disturbances occurring inside, provided it wasn't in slumber. This heightened awareness was both a mandated responsibility and an inherent trait. After all, the Returning Ruins Secret Realm represented the final legacy bestowed by the Gui Xu Taoist, a sacred space entrusted to their protection. Not a whisper of wind or a rustle of leaves was to go unnoticed. Although, it held little belief that anyone could breach the secret realm's defenses. Consequently, upon experiencing a subtle spatial fluctuation, the Old Cyan Dragon's eyes snapped open. Two brilliant beams of light erupted from its gaze. Initially bewildered, its Heart and Spirit were then profoundly shaken. This reaction stemmed from the fact that the Returning Ruins Secret Realm was currently sealed. Since Lu Qing's departure, they had completely shut off access to the secret realm. Entry was utterly impossible without possessing an Identity Jade. That specific Identity Jade was personally crafted by the Gui Xu Taoist, with each piece intrinsically linked to the secret realm's essence, permitting entry solely to its designated bearer via the Array. Without it, not even a Transformation Immortal could stealthily infiltrate this place. Could it be that Ah Qing has returned? This was the very first notion that entered the Old Cyan Dragon's mind. However, it soon perceived that something was not right. If Lu Qing were indeed back, he would undoubtedly utilize the Identity Jade to enter through the established passage.
