Chapter 1223: Chapter 421: Yun Qianzai and Phoenix Peach [Monthly Pass Request]
Array Peak had no choice but to accept the challenge.
An Array Master duel naturally involved a competition of arrays, and it was a contest among Tier Three Array Masters.
The result... was an array master duel that shocked the entire Taiyi Immortal Sect.
Only to see Yun Qianzai, from the Lower Sect, who was only at the early stage of Core Formation.
Nine battles, nine victories!
As long as it was a Tier Three array set up by him, whether it was a Killing Array, an Illusion Array, a Maze Array, or a Defensive Array, among Core Formation cultivators, not a single one could break it.
The final tenth battle saw a Tier Four Array Master at the Nascent Soul stage from the Taiyi Immortal Sect who couldn’t resist stepping in personally, only then was Yun Qianzai’s array broken.
Ten battles, nine victories!
But in reality, everyone knew in their hearts that Yun Qianzai actually achieved ten out of ten victories.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator hadn’t stepped in to save the day, the Taiyi Immortal Sect would have ended up with ten defeats in a row... If it really came to that point, it would have been quite embarrassing.
So in the end, Yun Qianzai voluntarily conceded in that last battle.
Afterwards, Yun Qianzai’s famed name naturally spread throughout the entire Taiyi Immortal Sect.
Regarding the emergence of such a promising Array Master within the sect, the Taiyi Immortal Sect, rather than getting angry, saw Tier Four Array Masters at the Nascent Soul stage from Array Peak... each personally sought him out, proposing to take Yun Qianzai as a direct disciple, even as a closed-door disciple.
But without exception, all were refused by Yun Qianzai.
As for the reason for these refusals... it was rather decent, as Yun Qianzai told each Tier Four Array Master:
"Senior’s attainment in Array Dao is profound, but we walk different paths, and our philosophies might conflict, so I can only decline your kindness."
But the real reason he didn’t want to accept them as masters, Yun Qianzai only confided to Phoenix Peach.
The truth was, in Yun Qianzai’s view, these Tier Four Array Masters were unworthy to be his mentors.
The reason why he was currently inferior to them in Array Dao was merely because he was still in the Core Formation stage; once he stepped into the Nascent Soul stage, they would all be defeated by him, Yun Qianzai.
Until finally, the Peak Master of Array Peak, whose cultivation level was unknown, personally intervened, and only then did Yun Qianzai willingly accept him as a master.
He also told Phoenix Peach the reason: "Even if I successfully form a Nascent Soul and become a Tier Four Array Master, I still wouldn’t be able to defeat him."
From then on, with Yun Qianzai as backing, the days for the Water Dragon Sect became somewhat easier.
After becoming a disciple of the Peak Master of Array Peak, Yun Qianzai’s cultivation also rose with the tide, ultimately reaching the peak of Core Formation.
He was only one step away from truly achieving Nascent Soul Formation.
Phoenix Peach watched as her second senior brother beside her, remembering how he was once so unruly, had now transformed into a steady figure. Only in front of her did he occasionally show glimpses of his former self... her heart couldn’t help but feel a bit sour.
"Li Changhe invited me and two Core Formation cultivators from the Taiyi Immortal Sect to visit the Thousand Ghost Cavern. We’ll head out once I return."
Phoenix Peach then changed the subject to other matters.
"Alright, come find me once before you set off."
Yun Qianzai said calmly, and Phoenix Peach understood his intention.
Nothing more than giving her some life-protection means before departure, such as a few Tier Three arrays to ensure Phoenix Peach’s safety.
"Okay."
Phoenix Peach took a deep breath, forcing a difficult smile, "If only the master, the chief senior brother, and the junior martial brother were all here."
"We currently don’t have any solutions for our master, but as for the chief senior brother and junior martial brother... I heard from disciples within the sect that they are constructing a teleportation array to the Jiyuan Continent."
"There’s also a teleportation array between the Jiyuan Continent and the Cangluo Continent."
Yun Qianzai spoke, revealing a long-standing thought in his heart.
"After I form the Nascent Soul, I’ll return to Cangluo and bring the chief senior brother and junior martial brother over."
"Once I form the Nascent Soul, I will finally be able to firmly establish myself in the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and that way, even if the junior martial brother comes over, it’ll be easier for him."
Yun Qianzai and Phoenix Peach had previously analyzed countless times the reasons why Ji Yuan didn’t want to come to the Desolate Ancient Continent.
Ultimately, they concluded that it was due to Ji Yuan’s disposition; he disliked the feeling of relying on others, so he was unwilling to come.
If that’s the case, then once I form the Nascent Soul, I won’t need to rely on others anymore.
Wouldn’t he be willing to come over then?
"Alright!"
Mentioning the reunification of the sect brought a smile to Phoenix Peach’s face.
"I wonder if the junior martial brother has achieved Core Formation yet."
Rarely did Yun Qianzai also express a sentiment.
At the mention of this, Phoenix Peach also became a bit worried, "With the junior martial brother’s capabilities, Core Formation shouldn’t be a hurdle for him, though unfortunately..."
"It’s just a pity he has a pseudo spirit root. Even if he had a true spirit root, it would be much smoother for him."
When Yun Qianzai said this, his brows showed a bit of worry.
He wasn’t concerned about anything else, only that he might form the Nascent Soul too late, and by the time he goes back after achieving it, the junior martial brother might not have succeeded in Core Formation and might have perished... what should he do then?
Although the chances are small, they are not nonexistent.
After all, the difficulty of cultivation with a pseudo spirit root isn’t just talk.
"But even if he hasn’t reached Core Formation, he should at least have formed a fake pill by now, or at the very least, he should be at the peak of Foundation Establishment, but the chief senior brother... sigh."
Speaking of Ran Kui, Phoenix Peach found herself even more at a loss.
There might still be a sliver of hope regarding Ji Yuan, but the chief senior brother who resented evil, determined to eradicate all demon cultivators... to put it simply, Phoenix Peach felt that his chances of still being alive were quite slim.
"All we can do now is achieve Nascent Soul as soon as possible, so we can go back to bring them over then."
