Chapter 246: Chapter 168: Termination Array_1
Translator: 549690339
The following morning, Sprit Light flitted away, heading straight for Purple Cloud Mountain.
The speed of a Golden Core cultivator was truly astonishing, taking rely an hour to arrive at the foot of Purple Cloud Mountain.
The representatives from the Three Sects were all Golden Core cultivators, led by three Supre Elders.
Li Longpeng, Supre Elder of the Tianshu Sect, was at the Perfect Gold Core Realm.
Chen Fenghua, Supre Elder of the dicine King Valley, possessed a late-stage Gold Core cultivation.
Zhang Zhiqi, Supre Elder of the Green Jade Sect, was also at the late-stage Gold Core.
Beyond the three Supre Elders, there were a group of early-stage Golden Core cultivators, along with several mid-stage Golden Core cultivators.
This was indicative of the potentiality of the Three Sects.
Early-stage Golden Cores, most of which were Pseudo Cores made from refining a tier-three Internal Pill after reaching Perfect Foundation Building, had no hope of further advancent. Nonetheless, they enjoyed the longevity of a true Golden Core and specialized in combat techniques, constituting the main battle force of the Three Sects.
Mid-stage Golden Cores, on the other hand, were True Cores achieved through proper advancent, holding significant future potential and possessing a cultivation advantage, not to be underestimated.
Thus, united, the Three Sects surrounded Purple Cloud.
And at this mont, Purple Cloud Mountain was…
As always, calm and tranquil, without a ripple or wave.
But this was only to the untrained eye.
As a Supre Elder of the Tianshu Sect and a tier-three Array Formation Master, Li Longpeng channeled his mana into his eyes and saw the mountain in a different light.
Within the mountain, Sprit Light flickered, array patterns barely visible, stretching up to connect with the heavens and down into the earth’s ridians. The mountain was unified, its might as one, seamlessly integrated inside and out, leaving no gaps or flaws, formidable to behold.
“What an array!”
Upon witnessing this sight, Li Longpeng, himself a Formation Master, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
“Adapting to the conditions, forming an array in harmony with nature. Although powered only by a single tier-two Spirit Vein, it capitalizes on the strength of nurous foundational array bases, alongside the harmonization by a Formation Master at its core. Its power is elite, even among the Golden Core Great Arrays; one could even call it a Termination Array.”
Li Longpeng turned back, his expression grave, and spoke to Zhang Zhiqi, “Brother Zhang, I fear this array might be even stronger than your Green Jade Sect’s Green Jade Azure Dragon Great Array. With just us, it’ll be difficult to break through!”
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Zhiqi’s already pale face grew even more distressed, his eyes betraying a sense of desperation and sorrow.
Chen Fenghua, standing beside them, let out a sigh, “In just a few days, this person has utilized Purple Cloud Mountain as a base to set up such a formation. It’s evident that their mastery of array formations has reached the fourth tier.”
“A fourth-tier Formation Master!”
Looking at Li Longpeng, Chen Fenghua asked, “Brother Li, as a Formation Master, how do you compare to this person?”
“The way of array formations is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, profound and inscrutable,”
Li Longpeng shook his head, “I’ve spent half my life to enter the third tier, and still, it feels like an endless ocean of knowledge, never fully grasped. A fourth-tier in Array Formation, even within our Tianshu Sect, would be an extraordinary individual, truly hard to fathom their abilities!”
Having said that, he once again stared at Purple Cloud Mountain, the array shrouding it, with furrowed brows, finding it hard to relax, “How could such a person erge in Liang Country without making a sound?”
“What’s the use of saying these things now?”
Zhang Zhiqi, concerned for his life and death, couldn’t care to discuss further and interrupted, turning promptly to Li Longpeng, “Brother Li, as a master of array formations, is there any way to break this array? I’m inflicted with a Termination Curse and am already a dying man; I’m willing to risk this life of mine to perish together with this person.”
In his words, he seed prepared to fight for his life.
“This…”
Hearing his words, Li Longpeng also frowned, “Considering mastery in array formations, I am not his equal, and even if you, Brother Zhang, sacrifice your life, it’s doubtful we can break this array. Rather than attacking, we should defend. We could help you resist the attacks of the curse spell…”
“We must break this array!”
Before he could finish, a voice interrupted.
The three furrowed their brows and looked up, only to see a middle-aged man who had, unnoticed, arrived at the scene.
The man, middle-aged and with a dignified face, was also tall, radiating an imposing presence, feeling as heavy as a mountain with his every gesture.
It was…
“Brother!”
“Old Ancestor Jingyue!”
At the sight of this person, all three were taken aback.
Then, Li Longpeng went forward to greet him, while Zhang Zhiqi and Chen Fenghua bowed deeply in respect.
Their reactions betrayed the man’s status.
He was none other than the Supre Great Elder of the Tianshu Sect, the only Nascent Soul cultivator in Liang Country – Old Ancestor Jingyue!
“This array must be broken!”
“This person must be killed!”
“We cannot sit back and let things take their course, allowing him to grow powerful!”
Old Ancestor Jingyue stepped forward with his hands behind his back, his cold gaze fixed on Purple Cloud Mountain, “Otherwise, it’s like letting the tiger return to the mountain, a future problem beyond asure!”
Hearing these words, Zhang Zhiqi glimpsed a shred of hope, “Ancestor’s aning is…”
Even in his speech, he dropped all formal titles, simply calling the man ‘ancestor,’ indicating how life-or-death urgency had stripped away any concern for status within their sect.
Jingyue, however, paid no heed and continued to stare coldly at Purple Cloud Mountain. After a mont, he finally spoke, “This person’s mastery over array formations has indeed reached the fourth tier. With him controlling the array, it’s a Termination Array amongst Golden Cores.”
“The array is stable, in harmony with heaven and man, using the Heavenly Earth Pri Spirit from all ten directions as one.”
“Even if we set up another array outside the mountain, we cannot compete with him for the Heavenly Earth Pri Spirit.”
“An outer array wouldn’t succeed!”
“If cunning strategies fail, then we must resort to…”
Jingyue turned to face everyone, “Combining cunning with brute force, and forcefully breaking this array!”
Li Longpeng’s gaze sharpened, a touch of surprise in his eyes as he looked at Jingyue, “Brother ans…?”
Jingyue didn’t respond verbally, simply spreading out his right hand to reveal a luminescent talisman. Within the glow of the talisman, one could vaguely make out a dragon-like pattern swimming within, alongside yin and yang energies forming two fishes chasing each other’s tails, culminating in a Tai Chi Diagram.
“A Prohibition Breaking Talisman!”
“A fourth-tier Prohibition Breaking Talisman!”
Jingyue declared solemnly, revealing its origins.
“A fourth-tier Prohibition Breaking Talisman!?”
Everyone present was shocked.
Li Longpeng imdiately looked up, “Brother, is this from the Sect Master…”
