"Members of the East Sea Alliance, heed my orders, divide our forces into ten groups, and launch assaults against the Great Array to buy time for Divine Envoy Yuan!" Wan Tianren commanded with a sweeping gesture.
Blocked by the green Great Array, the members of the East Sea Alliance were simmering with frustration. Upon hearing the command, they immediately split into ten groups and launched an attack on Fusang Island.
Inside Fusang Island, the Wu Yue Sect Cultivators also reacted by dividing their troops to meet the attack.
...
Simultaneously, Yuan Ming arrived at a hidden room inside the Flying Boat and once again cast a silver barrier to enter the Stealing Heaven Tripod Space.
Being a Nether Moon God not adept in formations, he could only seek advice from Xi Ying.
At this moment, Xi Ying was sitting cross-legged under the Five Elements Creation Tree, toying with the damaged Red Blood Sand Formation array equipment.
Around her lay hundreds of Jade Scrolls, offerings from the islands of the East Sea, which recorded various Forbidden Arrays.
However, these Jade Scrolls were all shattered.
"What happened here?" Yuan Ming asked, somewhat surprised.
"I have comprehended all the contents of the scrolls; therefore, there was no need to keep them," Xi Ying said, pausing her work and speaking indifferently.
"You've comprehended them all?" Yuan Ming was taken aback.
Cultivators have far superior memories than mortals, and Soul Cultivators specifically train their Divine Souls, making their memory even sharper than those of Magic Practitioners and Body Cultivators. Once they achieve the Illusion Witch realm, they can generally remember anything they see at a glance.
However, remembering the contents of the Jade Scrolls is one thing, and comprehending them is entirely another.
Formations are known for their complexity. Yuan Ming had examined those Jade Scrolls, and each recorded formation was incredibly subtle, each no less sophisticated than his Five Elements Illusion Destruction Array, with many being several times more intricate.
Even for an Array Master, comprehending just one of these would require a considerable amount of time and meticulous study, and Xi Ying had deduced them all in just a few days?
"I didn't realize you had such a talent. You never showed it before," Yuan Ming remarked, smiling.
"During this retreat, I perfected a Secret Technique that transformed my Divine Soul. While my Soul Power did not increase, my comprehension improved significantly," Xi Ying disclosed.
"There's such a Secret Technique?" Yuan Ming asked, his interest piqued.
"The Great Thousand World is full of wonders, and many Secret Techniques are beyond our imagination. However, this particular technique is extremely difficult to practice, and the first prerequisite is a pure Soul Power. You have absorbed too much Desire Power, scattering your Divine Soul Power, making you unsuitable for this technique," Xi Ying, sensing Yuan Ming's thoughts, explained.
Yuan Ming was only briefly intrigued and did not insist on learning the technique.
He shared with Xi Ying the situation outside and handed over the recorded Jade Scrolls along with his own insights into the Great Array.
Having reviewed all the Jade Scrolls, Xi Ying's expression showed a flash of realization.
"Have you discovered something?" Yuan Ming asked with a glint of excitement in his eyes.
"Yes, if I am not mistaken, the Great Array on Fusang Island is the Life Creation Array," Xi Ying confirmed.
"The Life Creation Array? What is special about it?" Yuan Ming inquired further, relieved that Xi Ying recognized the array.
"The Life Creation Array is a secret Formation from the Ancient Jiugong Sect. This Array is quite unusual as it has no offensive capabilities; all its transformations are utilized for defense and confinement," Xi Ying replied.
"Jiugong Sect..." Yuan Ming murmured, startled.
His Cold Moon Ring was said to be a treasure of the Jiugong Sect, and he had always thought the sect was renowned for its Frost Divine Ability, not realizing they were also experts in formations.
"A Great Array without offensive capabilities? Quite peculiar indeed," he commented, his eyebrows arching.
"In Ancient Times, the effects of formations were singular, divided into four categories: Confinement, Defense, Illusion, and Killing. Precisely because their effects were singular, their power was naturally enormous. The Life Creation Array belongs to the Confinement class and is said to be the Jiugong Sect's Sect Protection Array. It has an extraordinarily strong self-repair ability and lacks an Array Eye or similar elements, making it very difficult to destroy. Even if two or three Returning to Void Cultivators combined forces, they might not be able to break through," Xi Ying elaborated.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming's expression turned grave.
Indeed, as Xi Ying described, when Hou Chou and others previously breached the Great Array, if this Array truly possessed the power to withstand two or three Returning to Void Cultivators, then even if the entire East Sea Alliance's army were deployed, they likely wouldn't be able to break through.
"I don't believe in an unbreakable formation in this world. Since you're so familiar with the Life Creation Array, you must also know the Breaking Formation Technique, right?" Yuan Ming asked after a moment of silence.
"What you said is correct; there is no indestructible formation in this world, and the Life Creation Array is no exception. To break this array, one must start at its root," Xi Ying declared.
"What do you mean?" Yuan Ming pursued the topic, his spirit lifted.
"It is quite difficult to lay out the Life Creation Array; it requires a Wood Attribute Spiritual Vein, or an object containing powerful Wood attribute spiritual power, to provide the Wood attribute spiritual power. The more abundant the spiritual power, the stronger the Life Creation Array. From the situation on Fusang Island, it seems the Wu Yue Sect is using the Fusang Giant Tree as the provider of the Array's spiritual power. To break the Life Creation Array here, the Fusang Giant Tree must be addressed," Xi Ying stated with a slight smile.
"What exactly needs to be done?" Yuan Ming inquired.
"The Array Patterns of the Life Creation Array are scattered and elusive, difficult to destroy. However, the core of the array is not so – it is hidden inside the Fusang Giant Tree. Destroy the core Array Patterns there, and even if the Life Creation Array doesn't collapse immediately, its power will be greatly diminished," Xi Ying explained.
"If we could get close to the Fusang Giant Tree, we wouldn't need to worry so much..." Yuan Ming said with a wry smile.
The Life Creation Array enveloped a vast area. Even when inside the Stealing Heaven Tripod, boosted by Desire Power, his Divine Sense couldn't reach the Fusang Giant Tree, let alone destroy the Array Patterns within.
"Right!" Yuan Ming suddenly thought of a method, that was Black Incense Possession.
The buffer period for the Stealing Heaven Tripod had just passed half a day ago, he had previously planned to first understand the situation in Fusang City, then choose who to possess to probe the Wu Yue Sect's situation, which is why he hadn't used it yet.
Now it was just perfect, killing two birds with one stone.
"It seems you have already thought of a way to break the array, so I won't bother myself, this is the core array pattern of the Life Creation Array, take it and refer to it." Xi Ying took out a Jade Scroll and handed it over.
"Good, I will still need to borrow your Silver Kong Tree Demon for the task of breaking the array," Yuan Ming said after receiving the Jade Scroll.
Xi Ying seemed to guess something and took a silver Spiritual Beast Bag from her waist and handed it to Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming left the Stealing Heaven Tripod Space with the Spiritual Beast Bag.
Xi Ying stood up from the ground, stretched her waist, and her graceful curves drew the soul.
"Trapped here for decades, it's finally over," she murmured to herself and made a gesture in front of her.
Broken strands of five-colored light appeared in the void, one end connected to her body, and the other end connected to the Five Elements Creation Tree, this was her connection with the Five Elements Creation Tree, now completely severed, marking the failure of her practice of the Ju Mang Spirit Technique.
Xi Ying felt no regret, this body was not hers, and she had never really expected the practice of the Ju Mang Spirit Technique to be successful this time.
It should be noted that she had another purpose in practicing the Ju Mang Spirit Technique this time and having already achieved it, she had more important things to do afterward.
After leaving the Stealing Heaven Tripod Space, Yuan Ming cast a spell to disperse the silver barrier surrounding the Flying Boat and used a voice transmission to instruct Wan Tianren to attack with all his might, claiming it was the command of the Nether Moon God.
Upon hearing this, Wan Tianren did not dare to delay and conveyed the message to the commanders of the ten divisions.
The offensive of the ten divisions of cultivators quickly shifted from feigned harassment to a full assault, like ten fierce dragons viciously biting at the Life Creation Array.
Although the Life Creation Array was powerful, the East Sea Alliance had gathered the majority of the force of the East Sea Immortal Cultivation World, and now with an all-out effort, their power surpassed everyone's imagination, easily breaking into the deeper parts of the Great Array.
The previously steadfast Life Creation Array began to shake, like a large tree swaying in strong wind, pieces of green spirit light were brutally torn off, drifting in mid-air.
Inside Fusang City.
Ni Mu was shocked to see this scene and hastily dispatched the remaining cultivators within the city.
...
On the Flying Boat, Yuan Ming looked at the shaking Life Creation Array and nodded in satisfaction, then waved his sleeve.
A silver shadow flashed in the void in front of him, and the figure of Silver Kong appeared out of nowhere.
Having been locked in the Spiritual Beast Bag for a while, Silver Kong was desperately eager for freedom, and now he was excited at the chance to stretch his limbs.
"Your task is to take Hua Zhi and infiltrate Fusang Island, can you do it?" Yuan Ming handed the Spiritual Beast Bag containing Hua Zhi to Silver Kong and asked.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, rest assured, just leave it to me," Silver Kong looked at the shaking Life Creation Array, said confidently, slapping his chest.
After saying that, he turned into a streak of silver light and rushed towards Fusang Island, quickly arriving near the Life Creation Array.
Yuan Ming was very interested in how Silver Kong would infiltrate the Life Creation Array, his Divine Sense spread out to observe.
A flash of silver light covered the body of the Silver Kong Tree Demon as he entered the void, sneaking into the interior of the array.
"Could this be the Space Escape Technique?" Yuan Ming was somewhat moved.
He was right, this was indeed another ability of Silver Kong besides "Space Folding", the Space Escape Technique.
Like the Five Elements Escape Technique and Thunder Escape Technique, the Space Escape Technique was a technique that utilized the power of space and could only be executed by beings like Silver Kong, who carried the bloodline of space.
The Space Escape Technique was profound and complex, at its highest level, one could merge with the void, freely enter and exit any secret space, traverse spatial turbulence, and cover thousands of miles in an instant.
Silver Kong's Space Escape Technique was naturally not at such a high level; he merely utilized his bloodline power to barely master it.
Upon entering the range of the green array, a force of prohibition exuded from the space, hindering Silver Kong's escape.
"This array can actually combine with the power of space!" Silver Kong's heart sank as he realized the task Yuan Ming had given him was not simple.
However, Silver Kong did not back down; instead, his eyes shone with excitement.
Having spent time in the Spiritual Beast Bag doing nothing but eating and sleeping, he felt as if his bones were rusting out, and a challenge would be interesting.
Silver Kong pushed the Space Escape Technique to its limit in an attempt to break through the barrier of the prohibitive power, diving deeper into the array.
Watching Silver Kong infiltrate the Life Creation Array, Yuan Ming once again formed several silver barriers with the Silver Token, then with a flip of his hand, he summoned the Stealing Heaven Tripod and took out a stick of Black Incense.
The Black Incense he used did not have the Green Phoenix Pine added in, unsure of what effect it would have; to be safe, he used the previous Black Incense.
The duration of possession from Black Incense was not long, but if used properly, there was a good chance it could sabotage the Life Creation Array.
