Chapter 437: Chapter 430: Profound Nether Eye, Netherworld Contract (First Update, Subscribe)
When it comes to ancient ruins, Lu Xuanji has the most authority to speak.
Because he made his fortune from ancient ruins.
Upon entering the ruins of the Feathered Transformation Sect, he obtained the Pure Yang Dao Body and soared to great heights, but the cost was nearly being possessed;
Upon entering the ruins of Sword Island, he acquired the Void Treasure Chest.
Most ancient cave mansions, Immortal ruins, etc., after encountering powerful enemies and facing destruction, had most treasures taken by enemies and plundered, leaving only scraps not worth picking up for future generations;
Only a few secret vaults still exist in some hidden corners, waiting for those destined to find them.
Also, some cultivators cleverly created several hideouts, burying treasure vaults as precautions against accidents, or leaving them for future generations.
Of course, more often, some demon cultivators set traps and snares, deliberately spreading some maps to lure cultivators in, then hunting them down.
Qingyan True Master said, "Once, for cultivating a certain secret technique, I went deep into the Purgatory Volcano and found a senior’s remains at the Five-Colored Volcano. This senior had profound cultivation but had been severely injured, passing away there. Before dying, the senior arranged an array to guard the remains around the body!"
"After a thousand years, the senior’s body remains intact, lifelike, with clothes intact and appearance unchanged, and the storage bag still there! This time, we travel together, Tian Xin True Monarch is a Fifth Grade Array Master who can break the array! But now, Tian Xin True Monarch is missing, and we can only rely on the seniors!"
As he spoke, he shared some information about the ruins.
These ruins were accidentally discovered by Yu Yang True Monarch, whose strength alone was insufficient to break the array, so he invited Tian Xin True Monarch and others to join, but such a change occurred unexpectedly.
Qingyan True Master finally said, "As for the demon-cultivated traps, the possibility is small, worth a gamble!"
"Alright! I’ll go too!"
Lu Xuanji nodded and said, "But how will the treasures be divided?"
"Allocate according to merits, a cultivation technique and divine technique for each person, as for elixirs, magical treasures, etc., Yu Yang True Monarch first picks, then you fellow, and I’ll pick last. If it’s not enough, we’ll compensate with Spirit Stones!" Qingyan True Master said.
"Alright, then let’s go!"
Lu Xuanji said.
Qingyan True Master was delighted, called over Yu Yang True Monarch, Yu Yang True Monarch also nodded.
In terms of realm, Yu Yang True Monarch’s position is above Qingyan True Master, but during operations, Qingyan True Master holds leadership status, having a good father is good.
Everyone prepared and headed to a location in Purgatory Volcano.
Before leaving, Lu Xuanji activated a secret technique to inform Jin Xi to follow behind, as a safeguard against accidents.
If an accident occurs at the ruins, Jin Xi can coordinate and provide timely rescue from the perimeter.
...
In Purgatory Volcano, there are terrifying flames where most creatures cannot survive.
Yet in such extreme conditions, a few fire element spirits are still born, like Fire Crows, Fire Demons, etc., with varying cultivation levels, weaker ones just in Qi Cultivation, stronger ones reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.
Everyone moved cautiously.
After traveling a thousand miles, the temperature rose.
The scorching flames were unbearable even for Golden Core cultivators, who had to activate their magical power to offset the flames.
Continuing forward, after traveling tens of thousands of miles, a huge volcano appeared ahead.
The volcano had five types of flames burning, flames rolling and sweeping a hundred-mile radius.
"Be careful, we’re nearing the destination!"
Qingyan True Master spoke, "Ahead is the Five-Colored Volcano, here are Pure Yang True Flame, Pure Yin True Flame, Nan Ming Li Fire, Taiyang Flame, Thunder Gang Fierce Fire, etc., the array is established relying on the Five-Colored Volcano, be cautious."
Everyone became vigilant, moving carefully.
After a thousand miles, a grand array was seen operating ahead, covering a thousand-mile region.
On the array’s outskirts, a group of Fire Crows was attacking, assaulting the array.
Among this group of Fire Crows was one Nascent Soul and eight Golden Core cultivators were casting magic, continuously eroding the array’s power.
The array stood firm, these flames’ attacks couldn’t shake it.
The array before them was powerful, but unfortunately, no strong person was presiding, and during continuous attacks and erosion, its power was steadily decreasing. Especially under such persistent attacks, the array might last only ten years before thoroughly breaking.
"Kill!"
At this moment, Lu Xuanji advanced and launched an assault on the Nascent Soul Fire Crow.
Qingyan True Master also activated a flying sword to stab a Golden Core Fire Crow.
As for Yu Yang True Monarch, he stepped back to guard against escaping flames, eliminating threats and preventing leaks.
Boom boom boom!
A battle erupted.
Lu Xuanji wielded a long saber, transforming it into flames, tearing through everything.
The Nascent Soul Fire Crow counterattacked but was an undisciplined creation, with limited combat techniques and insufficient divine techniques.
After a brief clash, it couldn’t sustain.
After ten fierce exchanges, one slash killed the Nascent Soul Fire Crow.
The nascent soul fled, trying to escape, but it was captured on the spot.
Meanwhile, Qingyan True Master also swiftly crushed the Golden Core Fire Crows, fighting eight with ease, with lethal strikes. In just moments, three Fire Crows were killed, five escaped but were intercepted and killed by Yu Yang True Monarch.
After tidying the battlefield, everyone looked toward the grand array.
Shua shua!
Lu Xuanji drew his long saber, slashed out, yet it was like striking water waves, humming with most power dissolving away.
Yu Yang True Monarch also attacked, but the grand array oscillated between life and death, immovable.
Qingyan True Master did not attack but activated Divine Eye, with golden light flickering in his eyes, perceiving the array’s nodes, operation secrets.
"This is the Profound Nether Eye, a legendary top-tier Divine Eye!"
Lu Xuanji was slightly surprised.
This daughter of Feiyu True Monarch has her merits, not relying solely on her father.
The Profound Nether Eye can perceive Nine Netherworld, void, cultivators’ qi and blood circulation, perceive the essence and flaws of their cultivation techniques; It can also perceive the nodes of arrays and break critical areas.
Be it confronting enemies or breaking arrays, the Profound Nether Eye has unique advantages.
After observing, Qingyan True Master spoke, "This array relies on the Five-colored flames, endlessly regenerating. If we rely on force to break it, it would take eight years. But haste is necessary; we need quick wins, which requires Xuanji True Monarch to act!"
"Xuanji True Monarch, you can activate the Nine-Colored Saber Technique, instantly attacking a node to break the grand array!"
"I can!"
Lu Xuanji nodded and said, "Before breaking the array, we need to sign a Netherworld Contract, to prevent mutual attacks over internal treasures; fair and reasonable division, without oppression."
"Naturally!"
Qingyan True Master nodded.
Immediately, the three began to swear by heaven and earth to sign a Netherworld Contract.
