Chapter 363: Chapter 362: Ruthless Person Boom! Although the cultivation of the couple was only mid-stage Enlightenment Realm, their combined use of the Flying Sword Technique was extremely powerful, having reached the late-stage Enlightenment Realm level, causing the array to tremble under their assault. Several people joined forces, along with Bai Ziyue who quickly unleashed his own flying sword to charge out. One breath, two breaths, three breaths... In just five breaths of time, the entire Palace Protection Array could no longer withstand and was forcibly destroyed by them. Without any hesitation, Bai Ziyue and the others flashed inside. With a glance, Bai Ziyue’s eyes fell upon the many treasures inside the hall. He almost immediately locked onto a copper ring, a flying sword, and a golden treasure pagoda. The three spiritual artifacts were all top-grade spiritual artifact level, sealed in layers of treasure light to preserve their spiritual essence. His figure flew swiftly, and the flying sword suspended beside him flashed, directly tapping the treasure light on the copper ring. It quickly tore open the treasure light, then with a slight gesture, the copper ring fell into his hand. However, in that brief time, the Yuelu Mountain Master and Daoist Tuoshan also acted quickly, respectively grabbing the flying sword and the golden treasure pagoda. On the other hand, Jiang Li and Qin Meifang wisely refrained from competing for the top-grade spiritual artifacts, each taking two upper-grade spiritual artifacts instead. As for the top-grade spiritual artifact level flying sword, Bai Ziyue was not too concerned, but the pagoda—obviously a special type of spiritual artifact—was now in Daoist Tuoshan’s hand, which left him slightly regretful. Yet, he had no intention of snatching it forcefully. Though top-grade spiritual artifacts were good, they only marginally enhanced his strength. Besides, he already had the Spell-Dodging Divine Sword, Circulation Inference Mirror, Star Disc, Cyan Bamboo Sword, and now the copper ring—five top-grade spiritual artifacts in total. There was no need to cause a ruckus. His gaze swept across once more, and Bai Ziyue immediately discovered a row of differently shaped puppets on the west side of the hall. These puppets came in both beast and human forms. All were at least first-grade high-tier, with four even reaching the second-grade initial tier, comparable in strength to the early-stage Enlightenment Realm when activated. He quickly flew over, waved his hand, and all twelve puppets swiftly swirled into his storage bag. Seeing this, Daoist Tuoshan, who had intended to rush over for the puppets, awkwardly smiled and gave up, moving towards other treasures instead. "Indeed, Master Six Extremes’ two Dharma treasures aren’t here." Bai Ziyue stopped and used his Divine Sense to scan the entire hall. After a few breaths, even though many items inside the hall remained unclaimed, Daoist Tuoshan and the others automatically halted. Within the cave mansion, there were dozens of halls. Even though many were devoid of treasures, the other halls certainly held valuable items. They naturally didn’t want to spend too much time here. "Let’s go!" Bai Ziyue didn’t say much, uttered a low shout, and was the first to rush out of the hall. The others followed closely behind. Rushing out of the hall, Bai Ziyue quickly charged towards another passage, and soon another hall was in sight. With a slap, he shattered the defensive spirit light above the hall, and Bai Ziyue and others quickly rushed out from inside. The hall turned out to contain some spirit wood, akin to a firewood room, useful for alchemy and artifact refining. They had no choice but to leave empty-handed. "Hurry, hurry, hurry..." Ma Shiming frantically ran for an escape route, pushing his Escape Technique to the limit. "No wonder they dared to attack me despite the backlash of the Blood Contract Talisman... Damn it, I didn’t expect there to be such a talisman as a Substitute Talisman." Ma Shiming’s expression was extremely grim, with immense resentment in his heart. As a second-grade middle-tier Array Master, he was naturally highly sought after outside the cave mansion. After being abandoned by Daoist Tuoshan, another group of cultivators quickly approached him. Due to the scarcity of Array Masters, the group agreed to his demand for a forty percent share, signing a Blood Contract Talisman. Subsequently, they rushed into the cave mansion. With his array skills, they successfully bypassed the enchanting array and soon found a Hidden Pill Hall that hadn’t been explored before. As if born lucky, Ma Shiming directly found a Sealing Spirit Gourd in the Hidden Pill Hall, and within the gourd were seven perfectly preserved second-grade high-tier Spirit Pill Awakening Pills. A conflict ensued as a result. "I hope they can hold on a bit longer." Ma Shiming thought of the three Innate Realm Martial Artists following him. He just hoped they could hold off the pursuers long enough for him to escape smoothly. "Hand over the Awakening Pills, or die!" At this moment, a voice wrapped in Primordial Power exploded in his ear, and immediately afterward, his Divine Sense detected a figure, like a stream of light, rushing through the passage. In the blink of an eye, it was only fifty meters from him. His heart sank, and Ma Shiming’s face changed dramatically. Just then, he suddenly noticed a group of people emerging from a passage in the distance. His eyes widened, showing extreme joy. He hurriedly shouted, "Kunlun Daoist, Daoist Tuoshan, save me." As he finished speaking, Primordial Power surged wildly, and his speed increased once again. "Kunlun Daoist?" The pursuer immediately slowed down. The ruthless figure who had slain seven mid-to-late-stage Enlightenment Realm Immortal Masters right in front of Beixuan Sect Grand Elder Daoist Huoyun filled him with dread and fear. Bai Ziyue looked at the rapidly approaching Ma Shiming, his brow slightly furrowed. Daoist Tuoshan, however, rushed forward at this moment. "Thank you, Daoist Tuoshan, for your assistance." Ma Shiming was overjoyed, appearing extremely grateful and moved. "You’re welcome!" A hint of a wicked smile appeared on Daoist Tuoshan’s face as a flying sword flashed like a bright light. "You..." Ma Shiming sensed something was off and was shocked. But the flying sword moved with extreme speed, reaching directly in front of him. Thud! It pierced through his skull... The figure pursuing from afar suddenly halted, showing a look of horror, then turned around without hesitation and swiftly fled. This person turned out to be quite ruthless as well. "Previously, he relied on his status as an array master to threaten me several times, which was indeed annoying. This time, it was truly his destiny to meet such an end," Daoist Tuoshan skillfully collected the spoils of war, chuckled, and said. Though he appeared respectful in front of Bai Ziyue, how could someone who cultivated to this level as a loose cultivator be simple? *Naturally, his methods were ruthless and merciless.* "Soul Energy +49823!" Bai Ziyue lifted his eyes slightly, looking at Daoist Tuoshan with meaningful intent. So-called destiny was mere personal preference. Ultimately, it was about ’killing for treasure.’ He clearly judged that Ma Shiming must have a heavy treasure on him, which led a late-stage Enlightenment Realm cultivator to pursue and fight for it, prompting him to strike decisively and ruthlessly. "Elder Kunlun." At that moment, Yuelu Mountain Master rapidly approached and said: "If I’m not mistaken, Master Six Extremes directly used dozens of halls within this cave as the bases for the entire Qiankun Creation Array. Through observation of several hall positions, I have now roughly determined some directions of the grand array. If I’m not mistaken, proceeding three halls down this passage leads to the central location of the entire cave, the array hub. I believe if Master Six Extremes indeed left the inheritance of Dharma Treasures and Divine Techniques, they would be placed at the array hub. Additionally, even if I’m wrong, there will certainly be a Dharma Treasure left at the center position to act as the array hub. Because only a Dharma Treasure can suppress and activate the mighty power of this giant Third-Grade High-tier Array." Yuelu Mountain Master, being a Second-grade High-tier Array Master, naturally had methods to deduce and break arrays. He had already discovered some features of the grand array. "Very well, let’s hurry." Bai Ziyue’s gaze flashed as he glanced at Daoist Tuoshan and Yuelu Mountain Master and spoke. "Go, go, go... The sooner we arrive, the better the chance of acquiring treasures. Let’s be the first to reach there." The others were delighted and eager as well. A group of five quickly dashed through the passage. The first hall had already been blasted open, empty inside. Bai Ziyue and the others didn’t pause. The second hall, though intact, appeared empty through the array, indicating nothing valuable inside. Thus, after a moment’s hesitation, they ignored it and moved on. The third hall had also been forcefully breached, with three corpses lying on the ground, clearly after a fierce battle. "The deceased are Third Elder Li Qingquan of Kunwu Sword Sect, Elite Disciple Wuu Yunlong, and it seems the master of the Kong Family from Celestial Essence Market, Kong Mingde. It appears this fight involved Daoist Li Hongtian’s group from Sunrise Daoist Sect and Ancient Sword Elder’s group. *What treasure could have sparked such a desperate struggle?* If it were just ordinary items, it wouldn’t have driven them to fight so fiercely." Daoist Tuoshan approached slightly, quickly recognizing the identities of the three. "This is the Scripture Pavilion. It’s highly likely that there were cultivation techniques, magic, various inheritances, or even that Divine Technique left behind. *It’s perfectly normal for them to fight fiercely over it.* Unfortunately, someone else got there first." Yuelu Mountain Master looked up and couldn’t help but lament. A place named the Scripture Pavilion is undoubtedly a significant and treasured location, whether in a sect or an Immortal Cultivation Clan. This Scripture Pavilion, even without countless valuable items, if it couldn’t offer a Divine Technique inheritance, the mere records of Master Six Extremes’ Puppet Dao, Alchemy Dao, Artifact Refining Dao, or even cultivated techniques and practiced magic incantations... are extremely precious and vital inheritance items. *Their value surpassed the numerous spiritual artifacts in the Treasure Pavilion.* Because inheritance often continuously produces strong practitioners, it’s the underlying strength of a sect, Immortal Cultivation Clan, or even a loose cultivator. Any force with ambitions for development would not underestimate the importance of inheritance. The reason the Seven Great Immortal Technique Sects were so strong was not just due to the number of strong practitioners, but also because of their many heritage lines passed down for over a thousand years. ...
