Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"If it's as Yuanjing says, then we'll need to set up a lock-space array of a fairly high level."

After listening to Zhang Yuanjing's words, Fire Crow Taoist pondered for a moment, a slightly grave expression on his face, and said, "However, even low-level arrays of this kind are quite difficult to arrange. This old Taoist is incapable. Yuanjing might need to consult with Real Person Tong."

"Lock-space array?" Zhang Yuanjing was also stumped. He had heard of this array, but the Profound Sky Sect's array inheritance seemed to lack this particular one.

His thoughts turned, and he asked, "If we want to destroy this alternate space, how should we use an array?"

Fire Crow Taoist pondered and said, "That depends on the size and stability of this space. The larger and more stable it is, the harder it is to destroy. Moreover, once destroyed, it will cause spatial damage, and may even lead to the collapse of the entire Profound Origin Secret Realm. If it is just a smaller or less stable alternate space, setting up an isolation array should be able to suppress the destructive force."

"Does Senior know how to refine the array artifacts for this array?"

Fire Crow Taoist nodded: "I can do it for those below the Core Formation level."

Zhang Yuanjing said, "Then please, Senior, refine a set of array artifacts and then teach me how to set up the array. I will prepare the necessary materials!"

Fire Crow Taoist immediately listed the various materials needed to refine the array artifacts and handed the list to Zhang Yuanjing.

Zhang Yuanjing summoned Zheng Yuandu, gave him spirit stones, and asked him to search for them. If they were not available in the palace, he should go to the immortal cities around Tianque Mountain to buy them. Once everything was ready, he could hand them directly to Fire Crow Taoist.

After making the arrangements, he went to the swamp in the Profound Origin Secret Realm, selected a foot and a half long, prism-shaped broken bone, released the Source Stone and Refined Yang Umbrella to devour spiritual energy on their own, while he meditated and practiced, continuing to seize energy and collect the bone.

Half a year passed in a flash. The spiritual energy here had not yet been exhausted when Pan Zhengyu, who was patrolling outside, broke into the swamp, shouting "Palace Master Zhang."

This voice naturally awakened Zhang Yuanjing from his meditation. He emerged from the ground and saw Pan Zhengyu trembling under the watchful eyes of the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast.

He waved his hand and said, "Suanni Beast, you may leave. This man is my subordinate."

The Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast squeaked twice, wind rose beneath its feet, and it disappeared in an instant.

Zhang Yuanjing's gaze sharpened, and he swept his divine sense around, extending to more than ten miles away without seeing any trace of the beast. He couldn't help but marvel, knowing that this beast had advanced to the late stage of the Demon Core realm, and its ability to conceal its tracks had greatly increased, becoming even more powerful.

"Zhengyu, what is it?"

Pan Zhengyu had now returned to normal. It wasn't that he was timid before, but rather the suppression of his realm, which made it impossible for him to resist.

He respectfully bowed and tried to speak in a steady voice: "Reporting to Palace Master, Senior Fire Crow sent a message saying that the array artifacts you needed have been refined and are ready to be picked up at any time."

Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment and said, "I want to set up an array here to deal with a powerful demon beast. Gather all your subordinates and patrol around this swamp, and do not allow any disciples of the sect to approach within twenty miles of the swamp!"

Pan Zhengyu accepted the order and left.

Zhang Yuanjing returned to the Knowing When to Stop Tower, took the array artifacts from Fire Crow Taoist, learned the method of manipulating the array, and hurriedly returned to the swamp.

He was not in a hurry to deal with the alternate space. After all, he did not know what was hidden inside. If he provoked some extraordinary existence, he would only be asking for trouble.

He still went to absorb the spiritual energy from the broken bone, and spent more than two months, finally exhausting the gathered spiritual energy.

This time, before he sacrificed the Yin Yang Creation Furnace, the sound of a strange beast digging a hole came from the soil below.

Zhang Yuanjing ignored it, first sacrificing the Creation Furnace to collect the foot and a half long broken bone.

Although this bone had no spiritual energy to use, it had its own power, which could resist the suction of the Creation Furnace, and for a time, it did not fall behind at all.

Zhang Yuanjing didn't care. At this time, because he had to guard against the Bristle Beast, he did not import too much mana into the furnace, so the power of the Yin Yang Creation Furnace had not yet been truly exerted.

Perhaps seeing that Zhang Yuanjing did not leave the broken bone, the Bristle Beast stopped halfway, no longer drilling towards him.

Obviously, this beast could feel the aura of the Refined Yang Umbrella and knew to be afraid.

As time passed, the Yin Yang Creation Furnace gradually gained the upper hand as Zhang Yuanjing slowly poured mana into it, dragging the broken bone inch by inch into the furnace.

"Awoo! Awoo, awoo!"

A muffled beast roar came from below.

The Bristle Beast began to approach him again, and from the sound, it seemed to be alone, without the strange beast with the fleshy瘤 on its forehead from before.

Zhang Yuanjing instructed the Refined Yang Umbrella and simply sat cross-legged in the soil, continuing to meditate and practice, completely ignoring the Bristle Beast.

The Bristle Beast hesitated, moving slowly, but it seemed that some force was urging it, forcing it to approach Zhang Yuanjing.

Just as the broken bone was about to be taken away by the Creation Furnace, a "buzz" came from nowhere, as if it were subtle and imperceptible, yet like a great bell, shocking the mind.

Zhang Yuanjing's soul trembled, and he was shocked beyond words. The divine sense connection with the Creation Furnace was broken.

The broken bone took the opportunity to struggle with force, breaking free from the suction of the furnace, and went away on its own, drilling into the soil.

At the same time, the Bristle Beast also took the opportunity to rush out of the soil, enter the pit dug by Zhang Yuanjing, and bit at his neck.

The mind-shattering demonic sound did not affect this beast, obviously the existence that made the sound did it intentionally. This kind of subtle manipulation showed extraordinary strength.

Zhang Yuanjing was now unable to control his magic weapons and body. His eyes stared at the Bristle Beast, and a strong will to live and a sense of anger rose in his mind.

An invisible force, under the summoning of his mind, fell around his body, firmly binding the Bristle Beast.

The dark black umbrella opened, standing quietly behind Zhang Yuanjing, the umbrella body trembling slightly, but as powerful as ever.

Zhang Yuanjing breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and released a ball of mana, subdued the Bristle Beast, and put it into the spirit beast bag.

Then, with deep and apprehensive eyes, he seemed to look through the thick layer of soil to the entrance of the alternate space.

The terrifying demonic sound came from that alternate space.

Perhaps because of the spatial distortion and the barrier of the soil, the power was much weaker and did not affect the umbrella. Otherwise, this time, he, Zhang Yuanjing, would really have been powerless to recover.

The existence in that alternate space must also be very weak, so it only released that one sound and then remained silent.

Zhang Yuanjing's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but be moved. If this was the time when that existence was exhausted, it would be the best time to deal with it.

However, he did not act rashly. In an instant, thousands of thoughts turned, and various considerations came one after another. The existence in that alternate space, not to mention its extremely high strength, even its wisdom was definitely comparable to that of monks of the same level.

Therefore, it should not leave such obvious flaws, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of. This demonic sound might still be a trap, a bait to lure him to rush into the alternate space rashly.

He pondered for a moment, his figure flickered, he cast the Earth Escape Technique and left the swamp, summoned the Azure-Eyed Suanni Beast, and went to the wasteland to refine bones together, putting aside the matter of dealing with the alternate space for now.
