Chapter 362: Chapter 361: Puppet "Audacious!" Just at this moment, a voice like thunder quickly resounded. Following on, a blue light flashed like lightning, directly shrouding the five cultivators who had rushed into the Qiankun Creation Array. Among these five, three were loose cultivators, one was Wu Chuanming, a true disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect, and one was an honored elder from the royal family of Daqian Kingdom, all were at the mid-stage Enlightenment Realm. Under this blue light, the spirit light of their protective spiritual artifacts quickly dimmed, and all their defensive measures were completely broken. Then... Boom, boom, boom! The array backfired, endless lightning strikes fell and engulfed them completely. "Ah..." "No..." Amidst cries of agony, the five were instantly charred black, falling one after another. At this moment, it was precisely the Beixuan Sect Leader, Master Meng Chuan, who had taken action. As soon as he acted, he employed a divine technique, the Small Spirit-Banning Technique. The same Small Spirit-Banning Technique, in his hands, was evidently much stronger than that of Daoist Huoyun, not only did it directly cover the five Immortal Masters, but it also imprisoned their primordial power, leaving them unable to utilize any methods. "Die!" Meanwhile, Master Yuwen’s slightly muffled voice echoed. Then a flying sword transformed into a stream of light, shooting out instantly. Rumble! The flying sword pierced through the sound barrier, emitting a tremendous shockwave, in the blink of an eye it reached a cultivator who had just rushed into the grand array, easily piercing through an elder from the Kunwu Sword Sect at the late-stage Enlightenment Realm, breaking through his defense spirit light and piercing his skull. "Soul Energy +153233, +175632, +182335..., +258521." This increase in soul energy brought Bai Ziyue joy, but the unrestrained actions of the two Divine Realm powerhouses still caused a tightness in his heart. Fortunately, the array blockade area was not too extensive, adding that many powerhouses rushed in together, inadvertently dispersing the array’s power. When Bai Ziyue truly broke out from the perimeter of the array, only the outermost Positive and Negative Five Elements Shield Skill was worn out. Soon, Daoist Tuoshan, Yuelu Mountain Master, and Jiang Li and Qin Meifang also rushed in together. In the distance, waves of spiritual energy fluctuated, clearly other people had rushed in, causing disturbances. "This is an enchanting array, if we want to truly enter the cave mansion, we probably have to pass through this enchanting array first." The Yuelu Mountain Master looked at Bai Ziyue and spoke up. "Indeed, here we’re like blind men, at most we can see five meters ahead." Jiang Li said with a solemn expression. "I can only see five meters." Qin Meifang also nodded, clutching her flying sword, ready to take action at any moment. "I can see a little further, but only up to fifty meters away." Daoist Tuoshan utilized the Great Cave Observation Technique and explained. "Then, we’ll rely on Daoist Tuoshan and Mountain Master." Bai Ziyue gave Daoist Tuoshan a surprised look and spoke. From the beginning, he had already employed his spiritual eye technique, but it only allowed him to see through a twenty-meter radius. As for divine sense, within the array, it was similarly suppressed, only able to extend thirty meters. From this, he could tell the Great Cave Observation Technique of Daoist Tuoshan was indeed remarkable. "Alright, let’s take it step by step. After all, it is a third-grade high-tier array, I can only follow the flow of the array operation to discern some patterns." The Yuelu Mountain Master nodded gravely, deploying a defensive spiritual artifact, and took the lead in moving forward. The others followed closely. One step, two steps, three steps... Suddenly, a sword light flashed, and a figure quickly shot toward them. "Watch out!" Daoist Tuoshan was the first to notice this figure. However, Bai Ziyue acted faster, his sword light flashed, and the Spell-Dodging Divine Sword already stabbed onto the approaching figure. Puff! The opponent’s head was penetrated. "Hmm?" Not receiving the expected increase in soul energy, Bai Ziyue hastened his steps, glanced at the approaching figure, and revealed a slight look of surprise on his face, "A puppet?" "Indeed, it’s a puppet. Puppet Dao is hardly mastered by anyone in our entire domain, even among the Seven Great Immortal Technique Sects, the inheritance of Puppet Dao is rare. The currently known expert in this field is the black-robed elder of the Gu God Sect, who can only refine a first-grade high-tier puppet, and that is a relatively simple beast-shaped puppet. A sophisticated humanoid puppet like this, is impossible to refine. This puppet not only reached first-grade high-tier, its strength rivaling late-stage Qi Cultivation Immortal Cultivators, but it also holds a high-level Dharma Artifact with fifty-seven prohibitions, making the combat power it can exert not weaker than a cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation at all. It truly reflects Master Six Extremes, powerful and extravagant." Daoist Tuoshan spoke with a face full of admiration. Bai Ziyue nodded silently, roughly examined, and then put it away. This puppet itself had significant value, along with the high-level Dharma Artifact long sword and its internal power source, an energy crystal comparable to a high-level artifact, its worth exceeded ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. "Continue!" A soft shout alerted them that the time left to them was limited. The arrival of the two Divine Realm powerhouses brought forth a sense of urgency within them all. The group set out once more. The Yuelu Mountain Master led the way, utilizing his knowledge of array dao, observing ahead as he advanced, sensing the array’s changes with each step. Sometimes he moved forward, other times he veered left, or right, and on occasion, even stepped back. Bai Ziyue could vaguely sense the aura of the array’s changes, but putting it into practice was naturally far inferior to a true Array Master. This feeling caused his eyebrows to remain deeply furrowed, and *he couldn’t help but think about wanting to learn the dao of arrays.* *Otherwise, being at the mercy of others like this was truly unpleasant.* Nonetheless, at this moment, he could only follow closely behind Yuelu Mountain Master, moving constantly in various directions. Occasionally, puppets would interfere with attacks, but being merely at the Qi Refinement Stage level, they naturally couldn’t impede their progress. Soon, they emerged from the Mist Array and stepped onto a clearing. The clearing was clearly a spirit field, judging from the onsite chaos. It was obvious that whoever arrived before them harvested it completely. Only some spiritual materials that were clearly not mature or of low value remained in the field. Seeing this, Bai Ziyue wasn’t disappointed. He instinctively glanced behind him. The once fog-heavy area now appeared incredibly clear. Dozens of cultivators walked within, some only meters away from exiting, while others were treading in place. However, what truly made his pupils constrict was the entry of two powerful figures with vast auras, stepping into the array at this moment. The powerful aura caused the array to shake, with fog rolling continuously. "Not good, Master Meng Chuan and Master Yuwen have also entered. Let’s go, quickly," Jiang Li also detected the commotion behind them and hurriedly said. "Go!" Bai Ziyue nodded and stepped into the cave. As soon as they entered, they felt heavy pressure from the array’s suppression. They hurriedly circulated their primordial power, slightly lessening the force. "This is the power of the entire grand array. Unless the array is broken, there’s nothing I can do. Luckily, the pressure isn’t too strong and doesn’t hinder our movements. But our strength might be affected and weakened to some extent." The Yuelu Mountain Master quickly explained. Bai Ziyue understood this point, but compared to others, his advantage was that his physical strength was formidable. Even without circulating primordial power, he could move freely. Leading the way, he ventured quickly into the depths. He faintly sensed distant sounds of battle emanating from a large hall. Others naturally understood the principle of striking first: being ahead in every step. Fearing treasures would be seized by predecessors, they hurriedly followed. The entire cave resided within a grand mountain. The interior space was vast, as if the whole mountain was hollowed out, containing dozens of palaces connected by passages. The numerous pathways were intricate, making direction hard to discern. To avoid initiating conflict with other powerhouses too soon, Bai Ziyue randomly chose a pathway and delved deeper without hesitation. The others naturally followed. Whoosh! A sword light suddenly stabbed out from the side, like a supreme assassin hidden in the shadows, silent and deadly. The instant it struck, it shattered the silence like stone breaking the sky, reaching peak speed. Bai Ziyue seemed to have anticipated this. A spirit light quickly met the attack. Treasure-Setting Divine Light! In an instant, the puppet was frozen in place. Then, Bai Ziyue’s figure flickered, appearing behind the puppet, delivering a powerful blow that directly halted its movement. His divine sense surged, and this Second-grade Low-Tier Puppet was swiftly stored into his storage bag. Then his gaze fell upon the large hall before him. "Treasure Pavilion!" "Unexpectedly lucky, to have found Master Six Extremes’ treasure trove so quickly." Daoist Tuoshan, Yuelu Mountain Master, and others rejoiced, hesitating not a bit, sending their flying swords to probe the hall’s situation while closely following. Bang! A thunderous crash erupted, as the Palace Protection Array unleashed streams of fire, black sand, golden light, knife mountain, arrow rain, thunder, and various powers exploded simultaneously, retaliating with terrifying might. "It truly isn’t that simple!" Daoist Tuoshan snorted coldly, accelerating the flying sword to fiercely strike the grand array. Yuelu Mountain Master waved his hand, releasing an upper-grade spiritual artifact in the form of a seal. The seal grew larger with the wind, transforming into a massive stone disc. It trembled and suddenly emitted a spirit light, from which a gigantic beast emerged. "Roar!" The giant beast roared, tearing fiercely through the surging flames, and together with the seal, crashed directly against the defense spirit light enveloping the hall. "Wind and Thunder Sword Array!" At this moment, Jiang Li and Qin Meifang also took action. They each wielded flying swords, which merged upon release, transforming into wind and thunder, shooting out rapidly.
