Episode 112

  In the third month of the eighteenth year, the insufficient Taichu's large array was deconstructed and reorganized. The array diagram was handed over to the master for revision. All high-ranking members within the sect were greatly pleased. Master Yishou, the founder of the sect's array methods, set up the array according to the diagram. In August of the nineteenth year, the large array was successfully established. Upon initial testing, the array's mysteries matched perfectly with what Taichu had said, and the ancestors were overjoyed!

  In a hidden and secluded place, in a secret land, several high-ranking officials who heard the news were extremely shocked. Suddenly, Yixiu sighed:

  "Feng Cheng is a man of natural talent, and he can actually understand the will of heaven in a place without words!"

  Another cultivator beside him also said:

  "After we found this ancient land for so long, he should be the first person! He is a master of array methods in our sect, and no one has been able to set up this array according to the diagram for thousands of years!"

  A fat monk under the seat:

  "This man is indeed talented, but for the sake of our sect's grand plan, there is only one way to sacrifice him!"

  Everyone present nodded in agreement.

  "Alas, Heaven's darling!"

  The Great Way of the Supreme Polarity

  "Gentlemen, pass down the order, closely monitor Yishan Gate day and night! Absolutely do not let this monk escape."

  Everyone exclaimed in unison:

  "Obey the law!"

  Fat Xiu Dao:

  "I'm afraid we need to make more preparations. Firstly, the Easy Repair Gate's large array has just been completed, which greatly reduces the difficulty of this repair. However, due to pressure from all sides, it's uncertain whether they will hand over the repair or not. Secondly, they must have known how important this repair is to us, and might either kill or abandon it, in order to cut off our hopes."

  The superior man on a mission of inquiry asks about the Way:

  "Hmm, is this what you're saying? But how will An be let out?"

  "Swap!"

  "Exchange?"

  Xu Xian sat on the couch, pondering and asking himself in a low voice.

  "Alright! Our grand formation is almost complete, only this array core puppet remains. Why not reveal some details of this profound grand formation to the other party in exchange for this array core puppet?"

  "Then..."

  "Perhaps this plan is too reckless, but once we have the nuclear puppet in our hands, we can immediately launch a large-scale attack, and when the time comes, we will succeed, what's the need to worry about other things!"

  "This plan is unusual but not foolproof, it can only be used as a last resort! Otherwise, the entire formation will be exposed, and there's no greater disaster than that!"

  "For the time being, the top priority is to guard against leaks! If this secret gets out, there will be no peaceful days in the border areas! And even if our faction is strong, how can we make the whole world our enemy?"

  "Your Majesty's concerns are well-founded! We will make arrangements as soon as possible!"

  "How to do it?"

  "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the most urgent task should be to eliminate the internal threats first, and then deal with those who have connections with other gates and factions."

  "Hmm! How to deal with the enemy at the gate?"

  That fatty calmly said.

  "Bloodbath! Slaughter all the cultivators of the middle and lower ranks who are related to this matter! Although this method is cruel, it can eliminate hidden dangers before they arise. As for those outside the sect, whether they are rogue cultivators or people from other sects who pursue and kill them, not a single one will be left alive! Fortunately, few outsiders have heard about this matter, so killing them won't be difficult."

  Although the cultivators present had experienced a great deal and were accustomed to bloody battles, upon hearing these words, they all felt a chill run down their spines, as if a layer of ice had formed on their skin, and couldn't help but shiver.

  "Are you going to kill them all?"

  "Yes! If the news leaks out, it will surely bring a great calamity of extinction to our sect!"

  Everyone who heard this was silent, lowering their heads and not speaking. The cultivators understood that if the secret of this great array were to be leaked, they feared that there would no longer be a peaceful day on this ancient continent! Such secrets, all schools and sects, regardless of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and various cultivation schools, which one wouldn't kill for?! Which one wouldn't risk everything for?!

  "How does the lord of the document look?"

  The monarch looked at the lord of Wen and asked.

  "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and I dare not take charge. Please instruct us, Your Majesty, we will follow your orders!"

  "Hmmph!"

  The master frowned slightly and coldly snorted:

  "Let's proceed with the plan of Dragon Master then! This matter will be led by Lord Wen, assisted by Dragon Master, and we must achieve a perfect result."

  "Yes! I obey the law!"

  Everyone bows in unison and then withdraws.

  Under the rule of the lord of the document.

  "Although the dragon's plan is a quick solution to cut through the tangled mess, isn't it too bloody? Doesn't the master fear being haunted by the demon of his own heart?"

  "Master of the literary world, unparalleled hero! How can you be like a daughter? I think that our cultivation for thousands of years is only to hope for ascension and immortality, to continue the great way and attain eternal life. Otherwise, if we collapse halfway, our bodies return to dust, what's the point of cultivating? As for the theory of heart demons, it's just like a wisp of smoke, what's there to worry about? However, in this current era, the heavenly gods' original energy has greatly dissipated, and cultivators are unable to break through even after millions of years. With our strength, how can we reach the highest realm, and how can we break through and ascend again, continue life, and recreate the cultivation path? Now, the road is wide open, and it's vast enough to accommodate great opportunities, but isn't it difficult for us to become insignificant ants in the cycle of birth and death, while neglecting the pursuit of the great way?"

  "The words of the master are like a refreshing rain, and our humble household is grateful for the lesson! If so, how should this matter be handled?"

  "The leader of the literary world, our sect's cultivators, excluding those who know about it in the higher levels, are only a few hundred. We can gather and kill them all! As for the external cultivators outside our sect, such as wild cultivators, there may be nearly a hundred people who have some knowledge. Whether they know or not, we will eliminate all suspects and leave no hidden dangers! As for the cultivators in the ten major sects, they should be few in number. This is because the higher-ups are blocking the news. According to our secret reports, there are approximately five or six hundred people who know about it. In total, there are nearly a thousand cultivators!"

  "Almost a thousand? How can there be so many!"

  "Exactly!"

  "Among them, many have only heard of it occasionally, and they also want to kill it?"

  "Lord of the literary world, a great wise man! If this shocking news leaks out, the super gate of the ancient continent will come to attack, can we still have a way to survive?"

  "Alas! How could I have heard the news and lost my life? A person's whole life is spent in confusion. Master, you must have a wonderful plan, please enlighten me."

  "A three-step plan! First, draft a list of those to be killed and secretly assemble the assassins. Second, seal off all paths leading out of the area where the practitioners are gathered, strictly preventing any from escaping with this secret and passing it on elsewhere. Those who practice here can only advance, those who leave will be slaughtered. Third, design and carry out the plan, either gathering in groups to slaughter them or individually assassinating them. In short, not a single person will be left alive."

  "This plan of yours is ruthless! However, if news of the massacre leaks out, I'm afraid neither of us will end up well!"

  "Hum! No poison no heroism! The two of us are in charge of this matter, every word must be remembered in the heart."

  "Please go ahead, Master."

  "Shh!"

  "Hmm! Alright, I suppose after the execution of all the cultivators is complete, not a single bird will be left to fly and all good bows will be hidden away! Fine, in that case we'll make one ruthless move!"

  Then, the two of them brought out the confidential reports related to this matter that they had collected from their subordinates, and carefully reviewed them day and night for over a month. The list was finally complete, with an astonishing 1,300 names on it, all of whom were high-level cultivators! Even Lord Lianyu was shocked by this discovery. Among so many people, all the high-level cultivators had been included in the list to be killed! Think about it, among these thousands of cultivators, who hadn't gone through countless hardships and spent years cultivating to achieve their current level? Yet, just because of a single rumor, they were all going to be eliminated!

  "Unexpectedly, all of them have great abilities!"

  The lord of the document sighed and said.

  "This kind of secret, ordinary practitioners can't even get in touch with it! Can only blame their bad luck. Haha!"

  That Dragon Master burst out laughing loudly, without any mercy or compassion.

  The lord of the Wen family sighed and said:

  "Select an assassin and arrange for a roadblock!"
