In the evening, Han Li and Gu Qianxun left the tent and came to the entrance of the canyon.

"Did City Lord E bring Madam Liu Hua to meet with City Lord Sha Xin?" Han Li looked into the depths of the canyon and suddenly asked.

"That's right. Not long after we set up camp, they left together." Gu Qianxun also looked into the canyon and said.

"It seems that we have to break through from here." Han Li thought for a moment and said slowly.

"The environment here is special. The space storm is much weaker than other places." Gu Qianxun said without denying it.

"Rumble …"

Just as Gu Qianxun finished her words, a thunderous roar rang out from the canyon.

Hearing this, the two of them looked towards the canyon at the same time. They saw streaks of scarlet flames rising from the ground, and gusts of blue cold wind whistling out. The two of them intertwined with each other, immediately causing a violent reaction like water splashing in a pan of oil.

Under the violent collision of ice and fire, a terrifying white hurricane was born and swept out in all directions.

Under the attack of the narrow terrain on both sides of the canyon, the white hurricane rose vertically above the canyon. It was actually able to resist the space storm and disperse it.

"Using the hurricane to create a passage, there is a certain chance of passing through. However, the risk is still high. Anyway, with our bodies of flesh and blood, we will most likely die if we force our way through." Han Li frowned.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. City Lord E must have made some preparations to bring us here. He definitely won't let us pass through with our bodies.

Once they meet, we should be able to figure out the method of crossing over. "Gu Qianxun said with a light smile.

"Hehe, I don't need to worry about that …" Han Li said with a smile.

His face was completely relaxed. His gaze passed through the space storm and through the other side of the Black Abyss, he saw a piece of land that was emitting white light.

Is that the Great Ruins?

The night passed quickly. Early the next morning, Han Li and the rest had just come out of their tents when they were called to an empty space.

"I believe that everyone has witnessed the dangers of the Black Abyss with their own eyes. It is too difficult to cross the Black Abyss with just the strength of our Mysterious City. Only the cooperation of our two cities can overcome this difficulty.

Focus on the big picture. You have to restrain yourselves from now on. Don't get into any more conflicts with the people of the Puppet City. Wait until we enter the Great Ruins, "Ge said solemnly as he looked at the people of Mysterious City.

When everyone heard this, although some of them were unwilling, they didn't raise any objections, and they all voiced their agreement.

"Dare I ask, City Lord, how are we going to cross the Black Abyss?" Opal City Lord Sun Tu asked.

The others also looked over. Although the spatial storms above the Black Abyss were rare, they were still extremely dangerous.

"Hehe, don't worry. I've already discussed everything with Daoist Liu Hua and City Lord Sha Xin of the Puppet City." Eggy smiled faintly and glanced at Madam Liu Hua.

"As you can see, the main dangers of the Black Abyss are the powerful devouring power and the spatial storms above. Fortunately, the special environment here has made the spatial storms much rarer.

After discussing with City Lord E and Sha Xin of the Puppet City, I designed a Star Falcon Flying Ship. Using the Star Restriction that I'm proficient in, and the power of the puppets and mechanisms of the Puppet City, it will be enough to cross the Black Abyss, "Madam Liu Hua said as she stepped forward.

When the people of Mysterious City heard this, although they didn't feel much about it, they all nodded.

"The body of the Star Falcon Flying Ship will be made by the people of the Puppet City. Our Mysterious City will be responsible for carving the restrictions on the flying ship.

Now, all of you will listen to Daoist Liu Hua's orders, "Eggy ordered.

When the people of Mysterious City heard this, they all agreed in unison.

Eggy didn't say anything else after that. After giving some instructions to Madam Liu Hua in a low voice, he no longer paid attention to them. He called Chen Yang and the other three City Lords to one side and began to discuss matters through telepathy.

At the same time, the people of the Puppet City also began to get busy. They cleared out a large piece of land and took out various materials to make the flying ship.

Han Li glanced at Eggy and the others, as well as the people of the Puppet City, and a thought flashed through his mind.

However, he quickly stopped thinking about it because Madam Liu Hua had already begun to assign tasks to them.

Madam Liu Hua raised her hand and pointed at three or four people. She said, "To carve the restriction formation patterns, we need to use a special kind of Star Liquid. The few of you will be responsible for mixing it. The materials and the mixing method are all here."

"Yes," the few of them replied in unison.

"As for the few of you, you will deal with these materials," Madam Liu Hua instructed the others.

"The two of you …"

Madam Liu Hua casually pointed and quickly assigned tasks to the people of Mysterious City. Everyone immediately began to get busy.

However, there were four people who were left behind and didn't receive any tasks. Han Li was one of them, and Xuanyuan Xing was also among them.

One of the other two was a tall and thin Youth with a head full of yellow hair. He was a subordinate of Opal City, and the other was a short and fat man from Mysterious City.

Han Li wasn't familiar with these two people. He only knew their names from the Martial Arts Competition of the Five Cities. The person from Opal City was called Lu Gang, and the short and fat man from Mysterious City was called Liang Fu.

"Senior Liu Hua, what do the four of us do?" Han Li asked.

"I can tell that the four of you have a rather powerful divine sense. Your task is the most important. Help me carve the restriction formation patterns," Madam Liu Hua said as she swept a glance at the four of them.

Han Li was secretly delighted when he heard this.

He was quite curious about the Star Falcon flying ship that Madam Liu Hua and the others had designed. If he was responsible for carving the formation patterns, he would be able to get closer to the flying ship. After all, this was the core of the Dao of Equipment Refinement.

"Senior Liu Hua, it's not that I'm trying to shirk my responsibility, but I know nothing about Equipment Refinement. Carving the formation patterns is an extremely important task, and I'm really not confident about it. If I make any mistakes during the carving process, I'm afraid that I'll make a big mistake.

As far as I know, there are a few Fellow Daoists who have studied the Dao of Equipment Refinement. Why don't you ask them to help you instead? "Xuanyuan Xing hesitated for a moment before he cupped his hands and suggested.

"Humph!

Inscribing my Star Array Pattern has a very high requirement for one's Divine Sense. Do you think that any random Tom, Dick, or Harry can do it?

Apart from the four of you, I reckon that only the four city lords have spiritual sense that meets the requirements. Since you don't want to do this job, then go and have your Qingyang City's Chen Yang take your place. "Madam Liuhua rolled her eyes and spoke with great dissatisfaction.

"Senior Liu Hua, I have no intention of slacking off. I am truly afraid that I am clumsy and will ruin your plans." Xuanyuan Xing's face was filled with panic as he cupped his hands.

When Madam Liuhua saw Xuanyuan Xing's nervous expression, she felt happy in her heart. "Don't worry, I won't ask you to inscribe any complicated formation patterns. What I'll give you are just some miscellaneous work. With your Divine Sense and my guidance, you'll be able to do it," she said lightly.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Xing didn't say anything else. The other two also looked relieved.

"Your worries are not unreasonable. Carving array patterns in the Accumulated Scale Void Realm is different from the outside world. You do need to master some techniques to be competent.

How about this, come and practice first. "Madam Liuhua pondered for a moment before nodding.

She called the four of them to the side and gave them four bone brushes that were as thick as a finger and half a foot long.

Han Li took one of the bone brushes. It was very similar to the talisman brushes that were used to draw talismans. One end was sharp and seemed to be made from the teeth of some scaled beast. In the middle of the brush, one could faintly see the hole of a thin hair.

The other end was a translucent sac-like object that contained a faint silver liquid that emitted faint fluctuations of Star Power.

"This brush is called the Star Wave Brush. The liquid inside is the Star Liquid that I just mentioned. Immortal spiritual power cannot be used in the Accumulated Scale Void Realm. Thus, when inscribing array patterns, you need to use your Divine Sense to guide the Star Liquid into the array patterns.

These jade slips contain some of the simplest star runes. Try to inscribe them on these jade plates. "Madam Liuhua took out four jade slips and gave them to the four of them. She also took out some white jade plates and gave them to the four of them.

Han Li's eyes lit up. He immediately sent his Divine Sense into the jade slips. Sure enough, there were some star runes inside. However, these runes looked very complicated. They were completely different from any runes that he had seen before.

"My star runes are different from the array patterns outside. It's rather difficult to inscribe them. Next, I'll pass on some experience to you." Madam Liuhua's expression turned solemn as she taught the four of them.

The four of them hurriedly listened with rapt attention.

Madam Liuhua only stopped teaching them after more than two hours.

Han Li had a good foundation in the Dao of tool refinement. Even though the star runes were strange, he was able to comprehend them very quickly.

Xuanyuan Xing and the other two didn't have any experience in tool refinement. Thus, they learned much slower than Han Li. However, they were still people with high cultivation. Thus, they gradually grasped the knack of it.

Under Madam Liuhua's arrangement, the four of them each took a jade plate and began to inscribe.

Han Li's Divine Sense entered the Star Wave Brush and urged the Star Liquid inside. At the same time, he moved his wrist and inscribed on the jade plate.

A silver light smoothly extended from the tip of the brush and engraved itself on the jade plate.

His eyes flashed. He was using his Divine Sense to urge the Star Liquid inside the Star Wave Brush, which consumed a lot of his Divine Sense.

The Star Wave Brush was like a small whirlpool that was constantly absorbing the power of his Divine Sense.

However, his Divine Sense was extremely vast. Thus, he was able to withstand this level of consumption.

His expression was calm and focused. His wrist moved at lightning speed as if it was boneless. The number of silver patterns on the jade plate gradually increased. Soon, it formed a complete star rune.

After the last stroke was inscribed, the entire star rune suddenly lit up. Then, it quickly dimmed and returned to normal. However, one could clearly feel an invisible restrictive power flowing within it.

"Oh, you finished it so quickly. It seems that you also have some skill in tool refinement." A trace of surprise flashed across Madam Liuhua's face.

"I've indeed studied it before." Han Li didn't try to avoid the topic.

Madam Liuhua took the jade plate from Han Li's hand and said, "You've inscribed this flying star rune quite well. The power of the stars is distributed very evenly. There are no problems. You can try to inscribe more complicated runes."

Han Li nodded. His Divine Sense entered the jade plate and started to study the more complicated runes.

Compared to Han Li, Xuanyuan Xing and the other two were much worse. They only managed to inscribe one star rune after four to five attempts.

Madam Liuhua restrained her impatience and pointed out the shortcomings of the three in detail. As a result, the three's skills improved by leaps and bounds.

On the other hand, Han Li was able to comprehend those star runes very quickly. Apart from some difficult bottlenecks, he didn't need Madam Liuhua's guidance in other areas. This saved him a lot of trouble.
