"Ren, how long do you estimate it would take to break this formation?" Li Zhirui, pulling the two away from the crowd, asked in a low voice. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire Li Shiren replied with a wry smile, "You're giving me too much credit. My understanding of the Xu Earth Qianyang Array is limited to this." Even if he hadn't overheard the loose cultivator mention the words "Xu Earth," he wouldn't have remembered this fourth-tier Great Array he had only seen briefly described in "Introduction to Array Methods." "However, if the book's records aren't mistaken, then even Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't be able to break through it quickly." Li Shiren speculated, "With so many cultivators gathered at the riverbed, their combined effort should be comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, right?" "Besides, even speculations should be made only after personally observing the situation with the formation before coming to a conclusion." Li Zhirui's brows furrowed slightly. He had planned to conserve energy on the bank, only entering the water and pretending to assist when the timing was almost right, in order to preserve their side's fighting power as much as possible. But after what Li Shiren said, could it really be necessary to enter the water and investigate? "Why don't we ask those loose cultivators? They just came out of the water, didn't they?" Li Shiting suggested indifferently. Li Zhirui's eyes brightened instantly. How had he forgotten about the many loose cultivators nearby? Li Zhirui approached one of the loose cultivators they had eavesdropped on earlier and asked, "How is the relic's defensive array holding up? Answer me honestly, and these two bottles of Jade Spirit Pills are yours." The loose cultivator replied with a look of surprise and delight, "When I left, the formation's Defensive Spiritual Light had already started to fluctuate intensely." Li Zhirui was noncommittal. After Li Shiren returned with the information he had gathered, they compared notes and, finding the answers consistent, handed the two bottles of Spirit Pills to the loose cultivator. "Does this mean the Xu Earth Great Array won't hold much longer?" Li Zhirui asked uncertainly. Li Shiren nodded. While the Xu Earth Great Array's defenses were indeed excellent, ultimately it wasn't maintained by anyone. With so many cultivators continuously attacking for an hour, reaching the Formation's limit wasn't out of the question. "Then let's disguise our identities and mana, and prepare to go into the water," Li Zhirui decided, changing his earlier plan. The purpose of hiding their identities was to avoid bringing trouble to their family, while concealing their mana was to blend in with the Qi Cultivation cultivators and conserve their strength. In the end, with no other choice, Li Zhirui could only find a corner far from the Golden Core cultivators, where only Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivators were nearby, to stay. "There must be over three thousand cultivators near the ruins," but not many of them were actively taking action, especially the loose cultivators, who had no intention of making a move. Li Zhirui and the others had previously encountered several loose cultivators who had exhausted their mana; they had accepted tasks from various sects like Yuanming Sect and Qianyang Mountain with rewards offered. But this suited them well, they didn't even need to pretend, just stayed put like the nearby loose cultivators, waiting for the Defensive Array to be broken by the combined effort of those sects. "Crack—" Perhaps it was the join of those three Golden Core cultivators from Wood Spirit Sect, or maybe the Defensive Array was already nearing its limit, cracks had started to appear in the Defensive Spiritual Light! "It's almost time!" A glint flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes, but he still had no intention of taking action. "Crackling—" The scene just now had inspired many cultivators, and when they launched another attack, the Defensive Spiritual Light began to crack continuously. Although it was not yet completely broken, it was shaking precariously and wouldn't last much longer. "Boom!" The third wave of attack delivered a fatal blow to the Xu Earth Great Array. The previously rock-solid Defensive Array was finally broken through by the persistent efforts of the numerous cultivators! "Ren, wait! Let's see how things go first!" Li Zhirui swiftly grabbed Li Shiren, who was about to rush into the ruins. However, the scene Li Zhirui feared did not occur, and a large number of loose cultivators safely entered the ruins, rushing towards the well-preserved pavilions and grand halls. "Let's go in as well," Li Zhirui said. Although his actions might have seemed overly cautious, it's better to be safe than sorry. Also, the moment the array broke, he did not see the Spirit Light of the Golden Core cultivators flying; it seemed they too were thinking of letting loose cultivators go ahead to scout. After all, with their strength, even if a loose cultivator acquired some precious treasure, they could easily snatch it away. Li Zhirui and the other two leaped into the ruins, while those Golden Core cultivators, even faster, transformed into streaks of Spirit Light and flew towards the center of the ruins. Meanwhile, in a dark corner of the ruins, a pair of fog-white eyes suddenly opened.
