"It seems your Lord Wei may not be as you imagined."
Pulling his gaze away from the devastated dicine field, Qi Xiu spoke slowly.
The extent of destruction in this dicine field was truly shocking, thus the words of Old Man Bodhi about Lord Wei nurturing them seed rather unreliable.
Their true birthplace was likely this very dicine field.
Lord Wei rely dug them out from here and brought them above.
Gazing solemnly at the field before him, Old Man Bodhi pursed his lips in contemplation, saying nothing.
The field was vast, and there were no obstructions by the muddy fog here. A move in Qi Xiu’s heart, a massive and vast True Spirit-level Divine Sense surged out, scanning all around.
There’s a fragrance of dicine?
His Divine Sense touched a location eight hundred li away, and Qi Xiu’s expression shifted slightly.
In a flicker, he and two spirit beings turned into divine light heading rapidly towards the source of the fragrance.
Staring at the unremarkable ground with no anomaly before him, Qi Xiu furrowed his brows and waved his hand, intent on tearing through the void to transverse underground.
The fragrance indeed emanated from here.
The source must be below.
Bang!
Yet just as Qi Xiu exerted his thod to tear open the ground, a sturdy, ancient, and heavy micro-light suddenly flashed, instantly bouncing his hand away.
This was no ordinary land.
Recalling the previously described devastation of nurous magical treasures in the dicine field, Qi Xiu’s eyes narrowed. The next mont, an extrely terrifying Innate Thunder Light, as if to penetrate Qiankun and suppress the eight extres, descended with a frightening rumbling sound, crashing onto the ground in front of him.
Boom—
The blinding and dazzling extre light, thunder light scattered in all directions.
When the light dimd, Qi Xiu turned his gaze to the spot of impact, a large charred area with a pit less than a zhang deep smoldering with blue smoke.
This hard?
The Innate Thunder Light of a Dao Body Realm outside could shatter towering mountains in a single strike, tearing open a horrific pit over a hundred li in diater on the ground.
Yet on this divine land, it could only create a pit less than a zhang deep.
And under Qi Xiu’s gaze, the edge of the pit that had been blasted open was shrinking at a visibly rapid speed.
This land even had a self-healing function.
"Little fatty, looks like it’s your turn."
Turning to look at the curious little ginseng fruit beside him, Qi Xiu raised an eyebrow.
This land was extrely strange.
While he could forcibly break it, it would inevitably require more effort and ti.
The Three-Flower Lingbao Ginseng Fruit was naturally adept with the [Innate Earth Technique]; the Earth Walking Skill was as effortless to him as eating and drinking.
Called by Qi Xiu, the little ginseng fruit instinctively looked at Old Man Bodhi beside him, who nodded in silent approval, then raised the corners of his mouth and walked out with a confident stride.
"At critical monts, you still need to rely on ."
Plump little hands pinched a Daoist Incantation, and with a soft shout, the little ginseng fruit emitted strips of dark yellow divine light from within, resembling a soaring serpent, enveloping Qi Xiu and Old Man Bodhi before taking a deep breath and diving headfirst into the ground before them as if diving into water.
Swish—
Covered by this Earth-Walking Divine Light, Qi Xiu only felt the world turn dark, then they were already deep within the earth, traversing forward at speed.
A hundred ters...
A thousand ters...
Ten thousand ters...
The depth grew more terrifying, the fragrance more intense, surrounding layers of rock and even the void beca imbued with layers of auspicious glow, the imnse dicinal power made Qi Xiu feel as though he was swimming in a sea of dicine.
This dicinal power was rich yet mixed.
It seed like a mixture of many different dicinal powers.
It must have been caused by the power of those immortal herbs and ancient dicine above, concentrated and deposited here.
Hum—
After traversing for an unknown period, Qi Xiu suddenly reached out and pulled on the little ginseng fruit controlling the Earth Walking Skill, signaling him to stop.
"What’s up?"
In surprise, the little ginseng fruit looked back blankly ahead, seeing nothing there.
With eyes gleaming purple, Qi Xiu raised his hand and unleashed a fierce thunder light, abruptly shattering the obstructing rock soil in front of him.
Amidst the thunderous explosions, the thin soil layer before them shattered.
An ancient great array, exuding terrifying murderous intent, appeared before the three of them.
If Qi Xiu hadn’t pulled the little ginseng fruit just now, continuing to let them transverse forward, the three would have plunged headlong into this ancient formation.
"This great array is not simple at all..."
With hands gathered in sleeves, Qi Xiu’s eyes turned solemn gazing at the array before them.
The array was evidently laid down a very long ti ago, the passage of ti had left it incomplete, yet it still exuded a chilling aura that made him shiver.
Under the Observing Qi Skill’s view, the formation seed to occupy a small space but actually consisted of billions of nodes spreading around, akin to a spider web of dense silken threads, blocking all downward paths.
Upon contact, be it by the flesh, soul, or even breath, it would imdiately activate the entire formation, reviving its asure of killing intent, unleashing its terrifying power capable of heavenly destruction and world ravage.
With a casual grab, strands of auspicious glow flowed with the dicinal power gripped in Qi Xiu’s palm.
"It seems that the dicinal power of those Immortal Herbs and Ancient dicine above the Hundred Herbs Cave Heaven has been transported here, maintaining the operation of this Great Array.
But although this power is vast and strong, it’s not the best force to drive the Great Array.
Can the person who laid such a towering Great Array not understand this?
If he had no other choice, it doesn’t make sense either.
The mineral crystals sealing the Immortal Herbs and Ancient dicines should be top-quality Spiritual Sources, containing extrely abundant power, and using them to supplent and maintain the Formation would definitely be more effective than Immortal Herbs and Ancient dicine.
He used Spiritual Sources to seal Immortal Herbs and Ancient dicine, then used their power to maintain the Great Array, and then let them absorb the Spiritual Sources to restore strength.
Isn’t this like taking off your pants to fart?"
With just a glance, Qi Xiu noticed a few anomalies in this Great Array and began to slowly survey it, trying to find explanations for these anomalies.
"Daoist, look over there."
Old Man Bodhi suddenly spoke up, as if he had discovered sothing unusual.
Hearing this, Qi Xiu turned his head in the direction Old Man Bodhi pointed. He saw a broken stone tablet floating in the southeast corner of the Great Array.
Dark golden characters were faintly inscribed on the tablet, seemingly recording sothing.
"It seems there might be so clues on this stone tablet.
But this Great Array is extrely intricate; a slight touch might trigger a response from the entire array, like pulling one hair and moving the whole body."
Old Man Bodhi spoke slowly from the side. Although he didn’t understand formations, his eyes at the Dao Body Realm could still see the nurous hidden threads within the Great Array.
"That’s not a problem."
With a slight movent of his mind, Qi Xiu leaped forward, transforming into an Innate Prival Breath, flitting into the Great Array.
Weaving through like a shuttle, Qi Xiu moved swiftly through this ancient Killing Array.
The surroundings appeared intermittently, ready to be triggered at any mont; the threads were just inches away from him, needing only the slightest mistake.
At any mont the Killing Array, standing for who knows how long, could awaken and unleash terrifying power.
He arrived safely at the southeast corner of the Great Array. The shattered stone tablet stood before him, with dark golden and slightly mottled inscriptions lurking on it.
"These are not Human race characters, nor those of the True Dragon Clan."
Standing before the tablet, Qi Xiu frowned, scanning the entire stone tablet.
The characters on this stone tablet, totaling five hundred seventy-two, were all of a writing system he had never seen before.
Even though he had read extensively and consulted various ancient books in the Scripture Pavilion of the Shenxiao Sect, he could not find any related information about these characters.
Logically, this should be a True Dragon Heritage Site, and the inscriptions should be of the True Dragon Clan’s script.
The True Dragon Script emphasizes aning over form.
Learning is unnecessary; any True Dragon Clan mber can understand it by sight.
Clearly, these inscriptions are not True Dragon Script.
Additionally, the cracks on this stone tablet were not naturally ford; soone had shattered it with external force and then reassembled it.
But if it was already shattered, why bother restoring it?
The layers of mysteries made Qi Xiu’s frown tighten, feeling as though the Hundred Herbs Cave Heaven hid so great secret.
"Daoist, have you found anything?"
Outside the ancient Killing Array, Old Man Bodhi inquired.
"Nothing yet."
Having morized the inscriptions on the tablet, Qi Xiu was already deep within the Great Array, opting for a close examination.
The threads extending from the Great Array blocked all paths below; any effort to proceed would certainly trigger them, activating the whole array.
However, the one who laid the formation was unaware of the existence of the Hunyuan Myriad Laws Immortal Body.
Gently closing his eyes, colorful essence swirled around Qi Xiu, and his whole being seed to transform, releasing dense turbulent mists.
He was...
Outside the array, witnessing Qi Xiu’s every move, Old Man Bodhi’s expression was puzzled, unable to fathom his actions.
The Hunyuan Myriad Laws Immortal Body can transform into Innate Prival Breath, the Primordial Path, commanding Ten Thousand Laws, and mastering myriad qi.
To avoid awakening the ancient Killing Array is simple.
I just need to transform into Primordial Chaos Qi, then simulate the qi chanism of the Great Array with it, thus making the array perceive as part of it.
In this way, the threads would not be triggered.
Activating the Observing Qi Skill, Qi Xiu’s eyes seemingly beca two purple suns, scrutinizing the qi chanism of the ancient Killing Array with an incredibly profound perspective.
To evolve the qi chanism with Primordial Chaos Qi, the principle is the sa as using Thousand Changes and Transformations to evolve into various physical forms.
The primary need is sufficient understanding and knowledge of the qi chanism.
Otherwise, exact imitation would be impossible.
This process isn’t particularly fast or slow, primarily depending on the complexity of the object being evolved.
Dense mists surged around him, and within them Qi Xiu’s figure appeared faintly, while his previously robust aura unknowingly began to show a trace of unusual change.
Ti passed by with each second.
Seeing Qi Xiu sitting cross-legged in the array without any movent, Old Man Bodhi and the Little Ginseng Fruit were perplexed but dared not disturb him, watching silently from outside the array.
