Episode 109

  The initial body's progress in the Great Array has accelerated. Perhaps it was due to insufficient cause and effect, or perhaps his spiritual awareness had greatly opened up, allowing him to surpass conventional logic in thinking about the Great Array, and able to produce unexpected results from ordinary places. Even the senior masters of the Easy Cultivation Sect who were good at breaking through formation arrays were quite excited. The high-level members of the sect were overjoyed, and increased the number of elixir pills as a reward. With this progress, it's likely that in another two or three years, the Great Array will be initially completed!

  "It's not safe for you, brother. After the grand formation is re-established, let's leave this place. The situation here is precarious, and who knows when the higher-ups will secretly send you to a hidden stream or directly turn you into an array puppet to suppress in the grand formation!"

  "Chang Er, this statement is not wrong! Only fear that the high-level of the door really has such thinking! It is said that the hidden repair frequency is frequent, and the ten major sects within the alliance are also constantly pressing, and it seems that there is still an existence above the alliance that is also pressing, but because the easy repair door's great ancestor is still there, dare not be too much. Therefore, we two must make plans early."

  "Insufficient brother, being trapped in prison can still know the secrets of the door, how fierce!"

  "Chang Er, a certain family in this place, every few days would practice together with several array masters, and after more than ten years, everyone is very familiar. Moreover, since I am here, apart from you, I don't see any other guests, so they are naturally also very at ease. Although it can't be said that nothing is off-limits in conversation, yet given their position within the sect, they know quite a bit. These few people still have many comments on this sect's strategies. They rarely avoid talking about certain families, and I naturally know a lot."

  "I don't know what plans Brother Insufficient has? Yan'er is also preparing."

  "Chang Er, once the big formation is set up, my use in the sect will be gone. If we re-lay the big formation, naturally there will be those few master-level figures present. Under these circumstances, it's likely that the sect will take me as a tool and exchange me for great benefits. Whether it's the hidden array core puppet or the various factions in the alliance who are plotting, they all want to swallow me up and then feel at ease. We two should make plans ahead of time. Firstly, secretly plan an escape route, secondly, start exploring a path for escape, thirdly, decide on a destination for escape, fourthly, design a new identity for afterwards. The key to escaping is timing! You must grasp the timing well or it won't work."

  "Opportunity! Ah, Chang'er understands."

  "This matter requires only Qing'er to handle it, and I cannot do it personally."

  "It's not enough, brother, there are still a few years left, I'll take care of it. What's important is that you grasp the progress of the big array in your hand and inform me at any time."

  "Hmm! This is not difficult."

  At that time, Yi Xiu Men and An Yin had been fighting for many years, with both sides having their own attacks and defenses, and the losses were not small. However, compared to the pressure from the alliance of the top ten sects on Yi Xiu Men, it was just like adding water to boiling oil!

  In a certain place, there is an excellent and wonderful land of the Lüdì Fēi Xiān (Land Flying Immortals), on a small hill with flowers in clusters, faintly fragrant like mist. A lake was naturally formed here, with clear water that can be used as a mirror. In the middle of the lake stands a strange rock, several tens of feet in size, which looks like a fierce tiger mother beast about to give birth, vivid and lifelike. The body of the mother beast is half submerged in the water, only exposing its belly above the water. Its tail has a small beast cub, half emerged, as if it is about to be born. The head of the mother beast turns back to look at the cub that is about to be born, with warm and gentle eyes. Its mouth is slightly open, and in a daze, it seems to have let out a soft and gentle call.

  It was high noon, the mountain top was quiet, only the cicadas were chirping, adding to the tranquility. At this time, a mysterious shadow flew in from outside the mountain, without hesitation, and dove straight into the lake, disappearing into the tiger's mouth.

  That shadowy entrance, suddenly paused, and then gradually became clear. Upon closer inspection, it was a person! The person's figure was handsome and elegant, floating out of the dust, with a duster in hand, raising a silver light. Suddenly, a white light flashed from the mother beast's mouth, like a disk-shaped light group slowly rotating, with a hole in the center of the light point gradually growing larger. The person recited an incantation, and with a leap, entered into it, disappearing without a trace. That disk-like light also vanished into thin air.

  In the vast expanse of the void, a figure reappeared, standing within a gigantic celestial realm. The interior of this realm was boundless, spanning over three hundred miles in diameter, encompassing mountains, rivers, lakes, and forests, with an array of flora and fauna. Bees and butterflies flitted about amidst the sea of flowers, their gentle hum filling the air; beasts ran wildly through the woods, their thunderous roars shaking the mountains. Above, a radiant object hung suspended in the sky, shining like gold and jade, emitting warm, gentle light. The figure, however, seemed entirely nonchalant, flying directly towards the depths of this realm. A trail of mist swirled beneath its feet, clearly indicating that it was traversing through the clouds. As it journeyed on, a massive bank of cloud and fog suddenly materialized before it, blocking its path. This fog stretched up to the heavens above and down to the earth below, extending horizontally in all directions, reaching the very edges of this celestial realm. The color of the fog was a pure, snowy white, untainted by any other hue; even in the darkest recesses, it shone with a light as bright as snow.

  He opened the duster, struck the clouds and fog with one blow, and the silver light emitted by the duster was like a hand that gently pushed open the clouds and fog. He flashed into it, and the scene in front of him changed. Among the faint clouds and mist, a magnificent palace floated on top of a cloud cluster, its body as one, emitting golden rays. The palace was surrounded by a ring of clouds and mist, like a river protecting its exterior, and on the river stood a cloud bridge that seemed real yet illusory. The cultivator who held the duster stepped onto the cloud bridge, and with a gust of wind, flew to the outside of the grand hall.

  "Who dares to trespass on the immortal realm?"

  A thunderous voice came rolling in, and before it had faded away, the man had arrived. The four repairmen were tall and powerful, standing with knives and swords at the ready.

  "The ten sects of the Mengmen Alliance have sent a joint envoy, and I, Huaxi Guanhai, have come to pay respects on the orders of the Heavenly Venerable."

  He held up a golden plaque in his hands and respectfully presented it upwards.

  "Ah, come in."

  The name is called Haiwushui Flower Creek, and the view of it is very beautiful. The cloud head descends, and one can walk step by step on a white jade-like cloud road that leads directly to the central main hall. Gradually disappearing into the main hall, it becomes invisible.

  The sea has no water, entering the temple, seeing a large hall over 100 meters wide on the north side of the high platform in the middle, sitting upright is a Taoist priest, with long beard and elegant clothes, majestic and solemn. Under the platform, on both sides, there are two rows of chairs of the same color, ancient and fragrant, all with tall Taoist priests standing on them. In the temple, dozens of soldiers holding ritual instruments and swords stand quietly, their faces calm and serene, majestic and unmatched!

  "What's happening in the Sea of No Water, and what's new with the various factions in the Alliance? How is the progress of the Easy Repair Gate's large-scale array?"

  "Rebuilding the Heavenly Venerable, everything is as usual. It's just that the Easy Repair Gate is too initial to temper the body, and the progress of the big array is fast or slow, unknown?"

  "Hmm! Are they still watching? Is the old man going out?"

  "Huitian Zun's major repair is underway, but I don't know about the lower ranks! However, the large array in the hands of the hidden flow seems to be nearing completion."

  "This doesn't matter! As long as the initial formation reappears, with the nucleus puppet in hand, I'm not afraid of the hidden currents not cooperating!"

  "Tianzun's great repair is above, and the connection between the various factions within the alliance has been clarified. That Yixiu Men's Feng Cheng is indeed clear-headed and intelligent, and this person is a great talent, quite impressive!"

  "Oh?"

  The Supreme Master was deeply surprised and seemed to be very interested.

  "In the beginning, the great formation of Taichu was actually broken by this person!"

  "How could this be! Could it be true what was rumored earlier?! It's really unbelievable!"

  "Is it true that the sea has no water?"

  On the high platform below, the left hand of the first seat suddenly opened its mouth and asked.

  "It's absolutely true! I wouldn't dare to deceive you!"

  "Hmm! Tianzun, it seems that the ancient classics clearly record that once the physical body is fully cultivated, one's spiritual intelligence will be completely lost, and they can only listen to orders and act accordingly, hence the term 'puppet'. Could it be that Feng Cheng has not yet completed his physical cultivation?"

  "What's the point of saying the sea has no water?"

  "Hui Tian Zun's major repair, Yi Xiu Men although acted secretly, but the lower ranks have already investigated that Feng Cheng is indeed one of the survivors of the explosion and destruction of the ancient Tai Chu body array. Moreover, the connection in Yi Xiu Men has personally witnessed it, the upper repair and the master of the door have personally tried it, this person is indeed immune to sword, gun, spear and halberd!"

  "How strange! What was said earlier, the various circumstances of this person, we still thought it was a rumor, but now looking at it, it's actually true! However, in ancient times, this formation was renowned for its name, although few people witnessed it personally. According to records, the formation's power is indeed real. The key to unleashing its power lies in the formation nucleus puppet, which is controlled by a single command from the puppeteer. If this person is clear-headed and refuses to be a puppet, then it seems like they've overstepped! After all, what's the use of a puppet that can't be used?"

  The first seat of the left hand speaks the way.

  "Perhaps there is still a great array of gods that has been secretly forged and its spirit is unknown?"

  Another way.

  "Are there other relevant phrases of the Grand Array?"

  The left hand asks the first question.

  "If we go back to the previous question, it is only a matter of investigation and there are no other legal matters that have been revealed."

  "Tianzun, I think we should put more pressure on Yixiu Gate. We must clarify the details of this heaven-defying array."

  "Hmm! This matter concerns our great plan, it must not be left unsettled! Come! Pass down the imperial edict, and have the three great elders of the Yi Xiu Gate come here to discuss!"

  "Yes!"

  "You also go back! Continue to investigate, must have something!"

  "Yes! As your subordinate, I will do my best!"

  "Alas! Unfortunately, many of the obtained classics are missing, otherwise everything would be satisfactory."
