My Crazy Upgrade System

Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Infiltration

Ye Qingxuan nodded. She didn’t know what Yi Tianyun was up to, but since he said they were ready to go in, she didn’t ask any more questions. Time was of the essence.

"Alright then, let’s start digging the tunnel." Ye Qingxuan took out two hoes. These were no ordinary hoes; they were Soul Artifact-Level items. It was obvious she had known beforehand that they would need to dig a tunnel, as she had specially forged Soul Artifact-Level hoes for the task.

Although they were low-grade Soul Artifacts, they were still Soul Artifacts. With Soul Artifact-Level hoes, digging would undoubtedly be much easier and faster—at least, much faster than using swords or sabers.

"This..." When Yi Tianyun saw the hoes, he was a bit speechless. "We don’t need these."

"If we don’t use these, are we supposed to dig with a sword? Or with our bare hands?" Ye Qingxuan handed one of the hoes to him and said, "Don’t underestimate me. Back in the Spirit Race, I was always tending to Spirit Grass. They need careful nurturing every day, so I’m quite skilled with a hoe. You definitely won’t be able to dig faster than me."

"That’s not what I meant..." Yi Tianyun shook his head and said with a smile, "Would you believe me if I said I can get you inside in an instant? No digging a tunnel, no breaking through this Divine Rune."

"I don’t believe you!" Ye Qingxuan shook her head, her eyes filled with disbelief. "This wall is so thick, and it’s covered in Divine Runes. How could anyone possibly get inside in an instant? Even if you could fly, you’d still need an entrance!"

"And what if I do get us inside?" Yi Tianyun said with a faint smile.

"If you can get me inside just like that, I’ll do anything you want!" Ye Qingxuan huffed, finding it all too hard to believe.

"Alright then, you said it!" Yi Tianyun grinned. "Now, close your eyes. Wait for my word before you open them again."

"What are you planning?" Ye Qingxuan looked at him skeptically. "I don’t know what kind of trick you’re trying to pull, but fine, I’ll close my eyes! If you’re tricking me, just you wait and see how I deal with you!"

She then closed her eyes. The next moment, Yi Tianyun grabbed her by the shoulders, making her shudder. ’Why did he suddenly grab me? Could it be...’

A glint flashed in Yi Tianyun’s eyes, and he and Ye Qingxuan vanished from the spot. In the next second, they appeared inside the city wall. Yi Tianyun had used Instant Teleportation to move them into a small room. It was a guard’s lounge, situated right against the outer wall, making it the safest place to hide.

"You can open them now," Yi Tianyun said.

Ye Qingxuan opened her eyes to find herself in a room, a simple-looking lodging. She didn’t know whose room it was, but a glance at the nearby wall made her gasp in astonishment, "We’re inside?"

She had some familiarity with the Netherworld Prison, having toured it when construction was nearly complete. As a result, she was very clear on its internal structure—where the rooms were, where the cells were, she knew it all. The sight of this room left her completely stunned.

"Yes. Like I said, getting you in was just that simple." Yi Tianyun smiled. Instant Teleportation was a trump card, but that was against enemies. When it came to allies, it was bound to be used sooner or later, especially for escaping.

What had to be revealed, had to be revealed. Besides, he really didn’t want to dig his way in with a hoe. Not only was it a waste of time, but it was also a huge hassle.

"How on earth did you do that?" Ye Qingxuan was utterly shocked. The tremor in her heart wouldn’t subside; this was completely beyond her comprehension.

"Well, I’m not sure how to explain it. In short, it’s an Absolute Skill for saving my life. I can’t use it normally." Yi Tianyun didn’t know how to explain. A technique like Instant Teleportation didn’t exist here.

"Could it be... Teleportation!?" Ye Qingxuan thought of an ability.

"Teleportation?" Yi Tianyun thought for a moment and said, "Something like that, I guess. You could say that."

Teleportation techniques were primarily used by those with a Spatial Attribute constitution, allowing for short-distance travel. If one’s Spiritual Sense was too weak, it was impossible to track their movements, making it seem as if they vanished into thin air.

Consequently, a Spatial Attribute constitution was exceptionally Rare. One could use Teleportation even when their cultivation level wasn’t very high. People without a Spatial Attribute constitution could also learn Teleportation, but those who had the attribute were comparatively much stronger with it.

For instance, when Forging items that create space, like Storage Rings, having someone with a Spatial Attribute constitution do it would result in a much larger capacity. That was one of its advantages.

"So you have a special spatial constitution?" Ye Qingxuan looked him up and down as if she were seeing a ghost. "But can Teleportation cover such a long distance?"

"Is that really important right now?" Yi Tianyun shrugged helplessly.

"You’re right. As long as you’re not an enemy, it’s fine. Still, the fact that you know Teleportation is truly astonishing. But this saves us a lot of trouble." Ye Qingxuan nodded and quickly retrieved two Divine Rune Talismans from her Storage Space. They were even Master-level: Concealing Aura Talismans.

She handed one to Yi Tianyun and said, "Put on this Concealing Aura Talisman. With this, it will be difficult for anyone whose cultivation is below the Core Formation stage to detect us."

"Okay, no problem." Yi Tianyun took the Concealing Talisman and stuck it on himself. As soon as he did, he felt as if he were about to disappear.

To be precise, he was merging with the surrounding environment. From a distance, it would be impossible to see anyone standing here.

"Let’s go. Follow me, I’m very familiar with the layout here. The prison is roughly divided into several zones. I think the ancestors are probably being held in the Forbidden Spirit Zone inside." Ye Qingxuan explained, "The Forbidden Spirit Zone blocks all Spiritual Power from entering, so they can’t recover. It also prevents them from using their own Spiritual Power. This way, their power can be suppressed without having to destroy their Dantian."

Ye Qingxuan explained this in case Yi Tianyun wasn’t aware.

"If you’re so familiar with this place, how come you don’t have a key?" Yi Tianyun asked.

"We’re familiar with it, but only because we were the ones who inscribed the Divine Runes. We didn’t build the cages, so we know nothing about the keys." Ye Qingxuan sounded a bit helpless. "That’s why we also don’t know if your key is real or fake. However, since you got it from Cheng Fen, there’s a good chance it’s authentic."

Yi Tianyun knew the key had to be real. It was something that had dropped, not something Cheng Fen had given him, so it was definitely authentic.

"I see. In that case, we shouldn’t delay. Let’s go now," Yi Tianyun said with a nod.

Ye Qingxuan nodded as well. She slowly opened the door and probed the situation outside with her Spiritual Sense. When she confirmed no one was there, she gave Yi Tianyun a look and darted out. Yi Tianyun followed, and they slipped silently into the corridor.
