Episode 129

  He was trapped in the Wan Jie Sword Array, but every day he would tirelessly study the mysteries of the array. The thirty-six swords had already been taken down, and although he still couldn't avoid getting hurt from time to time, his heart was truly delighted by the thrill of the hunt. Observing the Wan Jie Sword Array, he found it to be vastly different from what he had learned before. Although the array was based on the principles of ancient formations, its layout was ingenious and mysterious, with strange and unpredictable movements that seemed to contain a profound and divine logic. This was indeed the Wan Jie Array, a name that matched its reality. Inside the array, countless formations were intertwined, creating an infinite number of difficulties and obstacles. The scenery was ever-changing, shifting between the fantastical and the real, the beautiful and the terrifying. One moment it would be warm and gentle, the next it would be catastrophic. A gentle breeze and light rain would suddenly turn into a raging storm that would scorch the earth and destroy the heavens. The countless arrays were interconnected, triggering each other with a single touch, making it extremely complicated to break through. If one was even slightly careless, they would certainly suffer a calamity of a thousand deaths! Insufficiently appreciating the wonders of breaking the array, he didn't realize his own troubles. Breaking through the array step by step, although the overall structure of the great array remained intact and flawless, his hands gradually became more skilled and swift in breaking it down.

  "It's indeed a wonderful combination of clever ideas and ingenious thoughts, as well as a perfect blend of danger and opportunity! If there were any masters of array techniques present here, I'm afraid that once they learn this array, there would be no more puzzling arrays to confuse their minds!"

  Insufficient in breaking a formation named Sword Rain Flying Snow, after finding the solution to several linked formations, he was overjoyed.

  Six years, spring.

  Outside the giant valley in the abyss of Wan Jie, on a small hill. A person's body was pierced by more than ten immortal swords, with blood flowing endlessly, yet he laughed loudly without stopping. This person was not a foolish and crazy puppet, but rather someone who had failed to break through the core of the Wan Jie Sword Array!

  "Haha, what a magnificent Ten Thousand Years Sword Formation! Guarding the core of this formation, who can approach me? Who can defeat me? What an unknown great master! What a saintly formation expert!"

  In another ten days, the Wan Jie Sword Array will be broken!

  Standing outside the gigantic valley, looking up at it. The peaks on both sides are high and cannot be seen in their entirety. At the middle of the mountain, purple clouds and mist entwine, blocking out the sky and obscuring one's vision. The mountain body stretches endlessly to both sides, its height and distance unknown. The valley mouth between the two peaks is like a heavenly gate, its width no more than a hundred or so zhang, its height immeasurable.

  "This might be the abyss of ten thousand kalpas after all; if one doesn't enter this place, it's futile to come here!"

  Insufficient to utter a word, one head will slantingly insert the entire body of ten or more Xian swords and throw them on the ground. Turning back to look at this Wan Jie sword array again, only the dense and numerous large and small Xian sword bodies remain on the ground.

  "Things in life should be like this! At first, it's hard to control and support the heavens, but later on, it will be easy!"

  He then turned around and entered the valley without looking back.

  Beyond the myriad kalpas

  The dark and mysterious sandy stone ground, on the eight giant stones, eight cultivators stood upright, their hands forming seals, their mouths reciting incantations. A misty aura gradually emerged from the stones, connecting them in pairs, when suddenly a loud rumbling sound was heard, transforming into a large array. In an instant, a gate appeared.

  "You ten people enter this abyss, find the ten major arrays within it, and carefully place the array core jade discs from your hands into them. Never be greedy for the strange treasures and spiritual medicines inside!"

  "Yes! Don't worry, Your Majesty, we understand!"

  That day, Zun saw these people speaking like this, their faces showing impatience, and again added a heavy tone to his words:

  "Also, remember this: within the Wan Jie Yuan, everything is constantly changing, including the terrain. This place has been uninhabited for nearly a thousand years, and it's possible that strange creatures have emerged inside. I've heard from the ancestors of the Yi Xiu Sect that thousands of years ago, they imprisoned a powerful being here. Later, over the course of a thousand years, several hundred disciples entered this abyss to train, but not one person returned, so it was abandoned. After that, the Yi Xiu Sect realized that this place was useless to the sect and designated it as a prison. It was said that if the imprisoned disciples could obtain the treasures and spiritual medicine inside, they would be pardoned. However, despite the large array controlling the abyss being intact, none of the guilty disciples who entered have ever returned. Therefore, the danger of this place is unparalleled! You all must be cautious!"

  Those ten people who were about to jump into the abyss heard these words and were all greatly shocked.

  "Heavenly Lord, isn't this sending us to our deaths?"

  "You are all powerful cultivators, entering the abyss only to find the Controlling Abyss Great Array and the Array Core Jade Plate. My intention is simply to warn you, don't mislead yourselves, or else I will scare you to death!"

  That day, Zun was greatly enraged and shouted angrily.

  The multitude of fish swim together, looking at each other, and cannot help but dive back into the depths.

  After the lightning flashed, all ten of them were disheveled and covered in dust. Their robes were torn to shreds, their faces smeared with soot, and the smell of smoke lingered on them. As they stood up and looked around, not a single person was in sight. It turned out that the entrance had transferred each of the ten to different locations, none of whom could see each other. Apparently, this transfer array was activated instantly, but it wasn't a fixed directional transfer.

  "Ah! How can there be such a high mountain in this place?! No wonder the Great Array of the Abyssal Pool lost its effect, it must be the calamity brought by this mountain!"

  The elder of the Yixiu Gate, who had entered the abyss, exclaimed in surprise. Looking closely at this unnamed high mountain, its circumference was only a few dozen miles, but it was as tall as a million feet. Steep and rugged, with four walls like those cut by knives and axes, layer upon layer, rising one after another.

  "Hmm! The peak of the mountain is shining brightly, perhaps there's a rare treasure here. I'll take it down and then search for the Kontsuba Formation Array, placing the array core jade plate won't be delayed."

  Thinking this way, he then sprang up his body wanting to ride the clouds and ascend. But unexpectedly, his feet trod on air that didn't rise, and with a thud, he tumbled down the gentle slope, only to tumble in a mess of seven ups and eight downs. Climbing back up, he resentfully said:

  "This place is strange and treacherous, it's hard to ride a horse here, I have to crawl up step by step. The mountain peak is so steep, don't harm my life!"

  One head pondered, while the other slowly headed towards the foot of the mountain.

  Insufficient to enter the mountain valley, the power of sight can only see that the space in this valley is vast, but it's unknown what its shape is. The divine consciousness has transformed into a small person and placed outside at the entrance of the Wan Jie Abyss and the new peak of the outer world, and hasn't been retrieved yet. At this time, it's also impossible to explore the reality of this valley. Insufficient to calm down, opened eyes again to look inside, but the power of sight was blocked by thick fog, unable to see clearly. However, in a slightly closer place, several divine lights flashed, insufficient to know that the divine energy fluctuations were intense there, definitely having an extremely powerful forbidden array!

  "Alas! I previously saw the words on the stone tablet outside the valley, thinking that inside the valley was peaceful and safe, without any danger or steepness. But unexpectedly, divine power has been unleashed, revealing that this place is even more perilous than outside the valley! This family's journey is indeed fraught with many dangers, every step is treacherous!"

  Sighing at the inadequacy, he smiled bitterly and resolutely stepped into the valley.

  Outside the valley, a new peak was formed, and several cultivators climbed up with their bare hands. Because of the radiant light at the top of the mountain, everyone thought it must be a treasure, so they competed to climb first, all wanting to get it and then rejoice. At the steep cliff in the north of the mountain, one cultivator panted heavily, apparently unable to continue climbing with his bare hands like ordinary people. His face was red and sweaty, and he wiped away the sweat on his face with a swing of his sleeve. After looking around, he found no other cultivators left, so he reached out to remove the skin mask from his face, gently patted his cheeks, removed the pads from both sides of his face, shook his head, and a waterfall-like black hair fell down. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Feng Ming Xian Zi from Yun Xiao Dian!

  "This fake Feng Cheng is really hateful, even being trapped in this endless abyss doesn't make him slightly anxious, it's infuriating! And that Hai Tian Ge, who thinks he's great at disguising himself, deceiving everyone under the sky! Hmph! This immortal has long known about it! Wait until we meet again and I'll expose him, teaching this cultivator to be ashamed!"

  He sighed, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then tightened his heart and stood up. He headed towards the outer protruding rock he had identified earlier.

  On the cliff wall of the southern mountain, a figure like a gecko stuck tightly to the cliff, its mask had been removed from its face, revealing a white and clean face, firm and rich in texture. It raised its head, looking up at the sky.

  "Within a hundred feet of the cliff top, let's see how I'll get this treasure!"

  He single-handedly flipped the lid of a dan medicine bottle with one finger, tilted his head back, and poured all the dan medicine into his mouth. After slightly mobilizing the spiritual energy inside his body, he flew up again towards the top of the cliff.

  Suddenly, a slight tremor rippled through the sea of consciousness, and a thread of divine inspiration entered.

  "Hmm! Wonderful! There are actually people coming to the Abyss! Ah, these two aren't old acquaintances? Hehehe... It's indeed true that enemies don't gather together for no reason! However, this time entering the Abyss, what do you plan to do? Forget it, this mountain has been formed, the evil spirit has already been obtained by a certain family. Wait for me to retrieve my divine sense!"

  Insufficient heart thoughts move, and the top of the mountain disperses all kinds of golden light. The small man steps on the five-colored sacred lotus, and a big sun emerges from behind his body. The sacred lotus is several feet in diameter, with half-open petals, and the big sun is several meters high. Outside, the flames of the sacred fire are burning fiercely, and on the surface of the sun, a circle of mysterious symbols forms a dharma wheel that slowly rotates. The symbols suddenly appear and disappear as if they have a spirit. This small man seems to be like a divine being, with a dignified and majestic appearance. He moves according to insufficient divine thoughts, and suddenly flies up, circling around the mountain several times. Later, when he stops on the cliff of the mountain, he disappears in an instant. When he reappears, he is already in the sea of insufficient knowledge.

  "But it turned out to be a cultivator from one of the top ten sects. The person who came from Yishan Gate, I don't know which family they belong to, but I'm afraid they're an elder-level figure! Are you here to capture me? Do you want to hand me over to the dark and hidden cultivators and refine me into a puppet nucleus? Humph! Although my divine powers are insignificant, I am not willing to surrender!"
