Chapter 180: Chapter 0177: Seven Booms that Shake the Clouds Chapter 180 -0177: Seven Booms that Shake the Clouds Chen Yu’s face wore a thoughtful expression as he sized up the surroundings of the Array Formation Platform, taking particular note of the four dark turquoise, rusty tal dragon heads with gaping mouths.
He took out four genuine yuan stones and embedded one into each dragon head’s mouth.
Just as all four yuan stones were fully inserted,
Buzz!
The entire Array Formation Platform emanated a dim, hazy shine, and for an instant, the complex array patterns around it lit up.
But this process lasted for only half a breath’s ti.
Crack!
Crack!…
Following the brief flash, the yuan stones in the four dragon mouths dimd abruptly and reduced to a pile of fine powder in an instant.
"Indeed, it is a Transmission Array!”
Joy lit up Chen Yu’s face.
Recently, he had perused so ancient tos concerning Transmission Arrays.
In Kunyun Continent, Chu Country was a relatively backward and secluded region; not to ntion the long-distance Ancient Transmission Arrays, even short-distance ones had almost vanished from existence.
"Four low-grade yuan stones, drained in an instant; it seems this Transmission Array is definitely for long distances and should still be effective.”
Chen Yu’s heart pulsed with excitent.
That spirit sword imprint Lv Tiezu left on him was like a death curse.
The mont he attempted to distance himself from the Three Sects Camp, it would be sensed.
However,
This Ancient Transmission Array was different, capable of instantly teleporting Chen Yu to a very distant place.
When the ti ca,
The world was vast and wide, how easy would it be for Lv Tiezu to find him?
Thereupon,
Chen Yu took out paper and pen, ticulously sketched down the Array Formation Platform, as well as the surrounding array patterns.
Before departing,
Chen Yu dug up several high-quality Moon Spirit Ore pieces from a nearby Moon Spirit Wall, then retraced his original route back.
Returning to the surface, Chen Yu t up with Elder Mao.
Master and disciple exchanged a few words through voice transmission on the spot.
Following Elder Mao’s order, Chen Yu took out a high-quality Moon Spirit Ore and handed it to Elder Pan, who was in charge of guarding the secluded mining caves.
After all, Elder Pan was the guardian here and had always kept the Ancient Moon Well a secret.
In no ti,
Chen Yu and Elder Mao rode on flying beasts back to Yunyue Sect.
Watching the flying beast shrink into a dot and rge with the skyline, Elder Pan put away the Moon Spirit Ore, a sharp gleam flickering in his eyes.
…
In the Yunyue Sect, at Elder Mao’s mansion,
Chen Yu handed the ticulously copied Ancient Transmission Array diagram to Elder Mao for inspection.
After a long period of scrutiny,
Elder Mao began, “Judging from the diagram, this Ancient Transmission Array should be for long-distance teleportation, at least spanning distances greater than ten ‘Beiyuans’.”
At least ten Beiyuans?
Chen Yu felt a slight shock, hardly able to imagine the extent of the distance.
How vast is Beiyuan?
Qi Country, Chu Country, Yan Country, the Great Snow Mountain Tribe to the north, and even more extensive wilderness areas make up the region of Beiyuan.
Among them, the wilderness area alone is more than a dozen tis larger than the inhabited regions combined.
Crossing Beiyuan on a horse that could cover a thousand li in a day might take two to three years’ ti.
"For such distant teleportation, low-grade yuan stones surely won’t suffice; you would need four mid-grade yuan stones,” Elder Mao said with certainty.
"Mid-grade yuan stones?
Those are almost extinct high-quality yuan stones in the sect circles of Chu Country, aren’t they?”
Chen Yu was greatly surprised.
"Extinct?
Not necessarily.”
With a flip of his hand, Elder Mao revealed a lustrous and rounded yuan stone in his palm; while its color was sowhat dull, the essence energy it radiated was far more potent than that of average low-grade yuan stones.
"Not every Qi Transformation Realm elder necessarily possesses mid-grade yuan stones.
I only have one here,” Elder Mao said pensively.
In principle, one hundred low-grade yuan stones could be exchanged for one mid-grade yuan stone.
But in the land of Chu Country,
Those extrely rare mid-grade yuan stones were mostly in the hands of those in the Guiyuan Realm and a few top-tier Innate Qi Transformation practitioners.
Certainly, Supre Elder Gongyang of our sect must have a number of mid-grade yuan stones.
However,
Those in the Guiyuan Realm, the Supre Elders, were elusive, and they might not be willing to trade.
"I shall find a way to help you exchange for the mid-grade yuan stones.
As for this array diagram, it has only three fissures and will require so materials for repair,” Elder Mao continued after so thought.
"How long will it take?”
Chen Yu asked.
"Two months.”
Elder Mao declared a tifra seriously.
Within two months, Elder Mao would resolve the issues of materials and yuan stones for Chen Yu.
"So, it will be the next full moon after the next one.”
Chen Yu’s heart settled sowhat.
At least the timing and details of the plan were well mapped out.
And two months later, the divination ssage from the Great Snow Mountain hadn’t arrived just yetthere was still a bit of ti.
Moreover,
The Snow Mountain Great Witch, transcending worldly status, could not guarantee an imdiate audience even for Lv Tiezu himself.
One could surmise,
For Lv Tiezu to have the Great Witch perform divination would surely co at substantial cost.
Back at Yunyue Sect,
Chen Yu secretly cultivated for several days, using up as many as five hundred thousand contribution points to exchange for various Cultivation Techniques and secret tos, including so secret techniques.
Because before long,
He would leave Chu Country far behind, rendering those contribution points useless if not spent.
Chen Yu focused his exchanges on martial skills related to swordsmanship and movent techniques to broaden his horizons and enhance his prowess in those areas.
When it ca to secret techniques, he exchanged for several higher-grade “Sound Wave Secret Techniques.”
Nowadays,
Having been promoted to True Disciple, he could exchange for almost any Cultivation Technique or secret technique in the sect as long as his contribution points were sufficient.
Unless they were so core techniques, which would require permissions from elders or the Sect Master.
In the following days,
Chen Yu mainly fused the various “Sound Wave Secret Techniques” he had acquired, validating them against the “Copper Lion Roar” he learned from Yuan Li of the Bone Demon Palace.
The result,
Chen Yu discovered he had been fooled by Yuan Li.
"Turns out, the modified ‘Copper Lion Roar’ from Yuan Li, though more powerful, causes great harm to the internal organs.
Thankfully, my constitution is strong.”
Chen Yu’s gaze flickered.
Invisibly, this also brought him an idea.
The Sound Wave Secret Technique was indeed well suited to Chen Yu’s non-human physique altered by the mysterious heart.
The sa Sound Wave Secret Technique.
If it were Chen Yu who utilized it, its power would definitely surpass those of the sa rank.
Several days later.
Chen Yu blended several Sound Wave Secret Techniques and improved them into an augnted version of the “Copper Lion Roar” suitable for himself.
This new “Copper Lion Roar” was not only powerful but also adaptable to internal breath.
After initial practice.
Chen Yu confird that this new “Copper Lion Roar” had increased its might by more than fifty percent and would have a not insignificant deterrence and interference effect on the Postnatal Qi Transformation.
If.
His heart stored power again, and even integrated the Black Emperor’s bloodline, its strength could increase by another fifty percent or more.
At that ti, the extremity of power in “Copper Lion Roar” might even slightly disturb those in the Innate Qi Transformation Realm.
…
On this day.
As Chen Yu was regularly cultivating the “Yuan Sha Divine Skill,” suddenly, a tolling bell echoed through the mountains.
Dang!
Dang!
Dang!
The Shaking Cloud Bell was struck rapidly seven tis, and an atmosphere of urgent crisis spread throughout the Yunyue Sect.
"The Shaking Cloud Bell, ringing seven tis!”
Chen Yu’s face turned solemn.
At the sa mont.
All levels within the Yunyue Sect were shaken, and the myriad of disciples were in a buzz.
The “Shaking Cloud Bell” was a treasure of the Yunyue Sect, often struck only when major events occurred.
The more tis it was struck, the more significant the event.
The maximum number of strikes was nine.
If it was continuously struck nine tis, it ant that the entire sect faced annihilation, signaling that enemies had reached the mountain gate.
But today.
Although it was not nine strokes of the Shaking Cloud Bell, seven tolls also indicated the gravity of the situation.
Half a tea ti later.
Chen Yu arrived at the core area of the sect, in front of the Yuntian Hall.
At this mont.
Outside the Yuntian Hall gathered nearly a thousand sect mbers, a dense crowd that included both older and younger generations.
"Junior Brother Chen, please co in quickly
One of the Law Enforcers imdiately ushered Chen Yu inside.
Most of the sect mbers and disciples remained outside the Yuntian Hall.
But as a True Disciple, Chen Yu had the status and identity to enter the vital area of the Yuntian Hall.
Inside the Yuntian Hall.
The Yunyue Sect Master, Elder Mao, and three or four other elders were present, as well as so middle and upper-level mbers who had reached the Postnatal Qi Transformation.
In addition, there were so True Disciples.
Among the crowd.
Chen Yu saw many familiar True Disciples such as Chang Xuan, Nangong Li, Huangfulin, Fang Haofei, and others.
In fact.
Most of the Yunyue Sect’s mbers were outside, either stationed at so resource-critical areas or participating in the frontline war against the Bone Demon Palace.
Even the Supre Elder Gongyang was at the frontline, not in the sect.
"Everyone is here.”
Monts later, the Sect Master’s gaze swept over the crowd.
"Sect Master, the Shaking Cloud Bell rang seven tis, what exactly happened?”
An elder in the Postnatal Qi Transformation stage couldn’t help but ask.
This was the first occurrence of seven strikes on the Shaking Cloud Bell in the past fifty years.
"I believe so of you have already received so information through the grapevine.
Just two days ago, the Water Moon Sect betrayed us, leading to a massive defeat at the frontlines!”
The Yunyue Sect Master said gravely.
Whoosh!
The entire Yuntian Hall erupted with noise.
At that mont.
Whether it was the high-ranking sect officials or the True Disciples, each one gasped in shock.
Betrayal by Water Moon!
Massive defeat at the frontline?
These eight words signified the complete breakdown of the situation within the entire sect community of Chu Country.
"Is the situation irreversible?”
Chen Yu’s heart jolted.
Although he had once speculated that the day might co for the Three Sects to fall,
He never expected.
That this possibility was now so close.
Originally, the Three Sects, united together, could hold their breath for so ti under the offensive of the Bone Demon Palace.
But now, the Water Moon Sect had actually betrayed them.
"How could the Water Moon Sect betray the alliance of the Three Sects?”
"Fifty years ago, the Water Moon Sect was also involved in a life-and-death struggle with the Bone Demon Palace, with no small amount of hatred between them.”
So of the middle and upper managent present were puzzled.
The turn of events was too unexpected.
"According to rumors, the Water Moon Sect reached so kind of agreent with the Bone Demon Palace.
Over half of the high-ranking mbers of Water Moon agreed, while those who opposed were swiftly silenced or placed under house arrest.”
The Yunyue Sect Master stated calmly.
Hearing this,
Chen Yu’s expression changed abruptly as a thought struck him, “Chen Ying’er!”
Chen Ying’er was in the Water Moon Sect, and her current fate was unknown.
While everyone was buzzing with discussion,
Chen Yu approached Elder Mao and the Sect Master to inquire in a low voice.
"Chen Ying’er?
Her master seems to be ‘Elder Kui Yue’ of the Water Moon Sect, one of the leading figures of the betrayal.”
The Sect Master replied.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Yu was sowhat confused.
Didn’t this an that Chen Ying’er might possibly join the ranks of the Bone Demon Palace?
But after a second thought,
Chen Yu figured this wasn’t necessarily bad news.
In the world of sects, there was actually no true distinction between good and evil, only differences in camps.
If the Yunyue Sect had been the one to betray the alliance of the Three Sects and Elder Mao had happened to be one of the leaders, then Chen Yu would also be compelled to join the Bone Demon Palace.
"Indeed, after she left the Blood Burial Garden, Chen Ying’er gained the favor of Elder Kui Yue as well as the Water Moon Supre Elder.”
The Yunyue Sect Master looked thoughtfully at Chen Yu.
"Nephew Chen, as a True Disciple of our sect, you must be mindful of your status and draw a clear line between yourself and traitors like Chen Ying’er.”
