Chapter 354 - 353: Improved Array! Ten Directions Sealing Demon Array
Time flowed by like water.
Flowers bloomed and withered. In the blink of an eye, several more days had passed.
On this day, within Fuhai District.
Qin Yang stood before a sandalwood desk, a stack of Xuan paper laid out neatly before him.
Petals drifted past the window. With his eyes slightly closed, he perceived his surroundings entirely through his Divine Sense.
He held a Vermilion Pen, meticulously tracing along the lines.
With just a few strokes, profound Array Patterns gradually emerged on the paper. They were as smooth and fluid as water, every interlocking detail perfectly rendered without the slightest error.
A moment later.
An Array Map had leaped onto the paper.
Every inch of the Array Patterns was crafted with rigorous precision, and the overall layout was complete and flawless. It had already far surpassed the original Turtle Shell Rubbing, a true case of the student surpassing the master.
’It’s finally done.’
Putting down the Vermilion Pen and picking up the paper, Qin Yang let out a long breath. He smoothed the corner of the paper, his eyes glinting as he opened them to gaze upon the Array Patterns.
Several days had passed since he began studying the Eight-direction Demon Sealing Array.
Thanks to the boost from the Enlightenment Space during this time, he had finally completed the Array.
The original great Array, which required eight people, now had two additional positions, directly multiplying its power and effective range several times over!
It was an upgrade to version 2.0.
The Ten Directions Sealing Demon Array!
’Tsk, I should really let those seniors who made the rubbings see this. This is what you call real skill.’
Qin Yang stroked his chin, musing to himself. He didn’t consider himself a bloodthirsty person, but he was very satisfied looking at his improved Ten Directions Sealing Demon Array.
A fiend like the Beast God, who had slaughtered tens of thousands, had to be taken with the utmost seriousness. The slightest carelessness would be a sign of disrespect for his own life and the safety of those around him.
And while the original Eight-direction Demon Sealing Array was profound...
...after studying it for the past few days, Qin Yang had still found quite a few problems.
The biggest flaw was that it could, at most, seal a single region of space. Furthermore, it was extremely susceptible to external corrosion. Inside this space, the Beast God could not only move freely but could even try to corrupt the Array and influence the outside world with his Divine Thought!
Nangong Li of this era was a prime example.
If the Beast God Sect hadn’t interfered with the great Array, the Beast God wouldn’t have been released so early!
Qin Yang couldn’t guarantee that in five hundred years, someone else wouldn’t be bewitched by the Beast God’s Divine Thought, leading to a second or third "Nangong Li"...
’There are just too many variables.’
Qin Yang sighed helplessly. He suddenly realized that relying on a hundred years of lonely time to wear down the Beast God was letting him off a bit too easily.
So, after some thought, Qin Yang took the time to speed things up.
He reinforced the interior of the Ten Directions Sealing Demon Array with all sorts of smaller arrays.
As long as the Beast God remained sealed within the Array, countless tortures would await him... Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart, the bombardment of wind and lightning that could melt the sun, and the thunderous shock of mountain Gang Qi.
Tsk tsk, it would leave the Beast God unable to live, yet unable to die!
As his thoughts lingered on accelerating the process...
...Qin Yang suddenly recalled the Ascension Secret Technique from before.
After Lin Mofeng had given him the Secret Technique, he had been too busy completing the Array to find time to practice it. Now, he could finally give it a try.
’If I use the Ascension Secret Technique on my Clone, can it break through its Realm?’
’Can it reach the Middle Stage of Celestial Venerable?’
’Let’s give it a try.’
With that thought, Qin Yang acted immediately. Recalling the Secret Technique, he lightly raised a finger and released an Essence Blood Clone, which went to stand in a corner.
Immediately after.
The Secret Technique in his mind was synchronized with the Clone.
Upon receiving it, the Clone immediately followed the instructions, beginning to circulate its Star Force according to the meridian pathways.
BOOM!
In an instant, the air in the room grew scorching hot!
The Clone’s face twisted in pain after executing the Secret Technique. Dense green veins bulged on its face, slithering like angry snakes beneath the skin, and its pupils turned a ferocious crimson.
It looked like a demonic god!
Its aura was savage and terrifying.
At the same time, the aura around its body surged steadily upward, seemingly progressing toward the Mid Stage as expected.
’Is it really advancing?’
Seeing this, Qin Yang frowned, carefully observing the Clone’s condition and mentally recording the changes while continuing to watch it.
The aura rose as expected.
But the good times didn’t last. After only a few breaths, just as it was about to peak at the Mid Stage...
...something strange suddenly happened!
The Clone suddenly aged. Deep, crisscrossing wrinkles crawled across its skin, its hair turned gray, and in an instant, all its youthful vitality vanished.
It was as if its entire lifespan had been snatched away overnight.
Its Realm also stopped advancing, ultimately stagnating at the Early Stage of Celestial Venerable. It wavered, then halted, and even showed signs of regressing.
’As I thought, it’s no good.’
Seeing this, Qin Yang didn’t press on. He decisively stopped the process, releasing his control over the Clone.
PFFT—
The next moment, the Clone violently coughed up a spray of blood mist, its expression listless as it collapsed helplessly to the ground.
After forcibly using the Ascension Secret Technique, its Cultivation began to fade at an astonishing rate. In the blink of an eye, it had fallen back to the Peak of the Earth Venerable Realm, its effect completely incomparable to that of the Star Array.
’It’s actually this severe.’
Carefully sensing the Clone’s condition, Qin Yang finally understood the mystery of the Secret Technique.
This so-called Ascension Secret Technique was indeed powerful.
But it operated in the complete opposite manner of the Star Array; it was a Dharma Gate that relied purely on sacrificing one’s lifespan.
While it had a miraculous effect for an Earth Venerable Realm cultivator to directly ascend a Realm...
...at the Celestial Venerable Realm, the gap between stages was simply too vast, an insurmountable chasm. It was completely impossible to use the same method to break through to the Mid Stage.
Unless... he could modify and further perfect the Secret Technique...
’Forget it. I won’t think about it for now.’
After some careful consideration, Qin Yang decided to put the matter aside and stop dwelling on it. He stood up and walked toward the door, preparing to go out for some fresh air.
After all, the mysteries of such a technique couldn’t be unraveled overnight. It wouldn’t be too late to make plans for it later.
Just then, CLANG—
The crisp sound of metal striking metal came from the courtyard.
A wisp of Sword Qi drifted into the room.
"Hm?"
Qin Yang frowned slightly, sensing the Sword Qi and glancing toward the courtyard.
He realized that while he had been concentrating, a crowd had gathered outside. Liu Wushuang, Elder Li, and the others had formed a large circle to watch the show.
And in the center of the circle, two figures darted and weaved.
......
"Damn you, woman! Watch my claws!"
In the courtyard, the late afternoon sun slanted low. Tender willow branches swayed in the breeze as a person and a fox crossed paths, sparring with killing moves.
Xiaobai extended her claws, swiping at Li Zixuan’s chest.
Li Zixuan deflected the attack with a flick of her sword, then countered by aiming for the vital point on Xiaobai’s neck, meeting her blow for blow.
The two were locked in a fierce battle.
But Xiaobai was clearly at a disadvantage, constantly pressured by Li Zixuan’s Swordsmanship. The glint of the sword flashed all over her body, leaving her no room to spare any extra focus. It looked as if her stance was about to be broken.
The next moment, Xiaobai’s delicate nose twitched, and she gritted her teeth.
BOOM!
Her figure instantly flickered and vanished. Her white fur seemed to explode outward in a flurry, and as the hairs fell, they took root, scattering and transforming into countless fox phantoms.
She had conjured a dense swarm of Clones. The sky filled with scattered fox phantoms, dazzling everyone’s eyes.
They charged straight for Li Zixuan!
