Chapter 43 - 42 Spirit Array Palace

43: Chapter 42 Spirit Array Palace 43 -42 Spirit Array Palace At this moment, at the mountain gate of the Emperor Immortal Sect. Qiu Wenhan and Zhou Youwei stared blankly at the dark hand that retracted from afar, disappearing into the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, somewhat dazed. “Where did that hand just reach out to?” Zhou Youwei looked at Ye Xuan, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment. “Luotian Sacred Land,” Ye Xuan said with a slight smile. “Hiss!” Qiu Wenhan gasped sharply, utterly shocked, and said, “Luotian Sacred Land is a full million miles away from our Emperor Immortal Sect, are you sure?” “Of course,” Ye Xuan nodded and said. “This is too incredible…” Despite Ye Xuan’s affirmation, Qiu Wenhan still found it hard to believe. “Right, what did it do after reaching out?” Qiu Wenhan remembered the critical point and asked anxiously. “It was of course to smack that fellow named Wan Zhongdao to death,” Ye Xuan said nonchalantly. “What?!” This immediately dumbfounded both Qiu Wenhan and Zhou Youwei. Wan Zhongdao, the Great Elder of Luotian Sacred Land, within the bounds of the distant Luotian Sacred Land, had really been smacked to death? “It won’t be long before you can hear the news,” Ye Xuan said with a calm smile. This left Qiu Wenhan and Zhou Youwei speechless for a long time. This was truly shocking. That was the Great Elder of the Luotian Sacred Land! Could such a powerful being not withstand the mysterious power of the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple?! If this statement had come from anyone else, they might have had their doubts, but since it came from Ye Xuan, the credibility was extremely high! All of a sudden, Zhou Youwei recalled something and said to Ye Xuan, “Previously, why were the people from Luotian Sacred Land sealed in their cultivation?” At the time, the Sect Protection Array had been breached, and the Emperor Immortal Sect was in imminent danger, then in the critical moment, Elder Mo and Elder Huang from Luotian Sacred Land had their cultivation sealed and fell from the sky. Zhou Youwei had never understood this matter. Qiu Wenhan was also looking at Ye Xuan, baffled. Ye Xuan calmly said, “Our Emperor Immortal Sect was truly a Great Emperor Immortal Sect back in the day. Lie Tian Great Emperor left many things in the ancestral land, and Emperor Foundation was one of them.” “What? What is Emperor Foundation, exactly?” Qiu Wenhan asked, stunned. Zhou Youwei looked at Ye Xuan strangely, her voice ethereal and melodious, and said, “Where did you learn about these?” “Of course, from the Scripture Pavilion,” Ye Xuan glanced at Zhou Youwei and said with an old-fashioned tone, “It’s always beneficial to read more when you have nothing else to do.” Zhou Youwei: “…” Qiu Wenhan: “…” “By the way, it was old man Qiu who said this,” Ye Xuan said with a beaming smile. Zhou Youwei couldn’t help but look at Qiu Wenhan. Qiu Wenhan choked a little and said awkwardly, “It seems to be true.” “But I have read most of the Daoist Collection in the Scripture Pavilion, and I have never seen anything about this, where did you see it?” Qiu Wenhan asked, full of bewilderment. “That means you didn’t read thoroughly enough,” Ye Xuan said with a smile. “Alright then,” Qiu Wenhan, seeing that Ye Xuan was not elaborating, asked no further. He had already decided in his heart that Ye Xuan must be the chosen one by the Master, which was why he could see these things. “Who knows about the Sect Protection Array?” Ye Xuan asked. Qiu Wenhan shook his head and said, “I was always guarding the Ancestor Temple, and I never learned about it.” “I have seen the complete Array Map of the Sect Protection Array,” Zhou Youwei said with a frown, looking at Ye Xuan puzzledly, and asked, “Why do you ask?” “The Sect Protection Array is gone, of course, it needs to be rebuilt,” Ye Xuan said matter-of-factly, “This time, I’ll arrange the Sect Protection Array myself, and wife, you’ll assist me.” “Eh?!” Qiu Wenhan widened his eyes, surprised, and said, “You know how to arrange arrays?” Zhou Youwei was also staring at Ye Xuan in astonishment, strangely asking, “Only the Alchemist Grandpa of the Spirit Array Palace can arrange the Sect Protection Array, are you sure you can do it?” “Of course,” Ye Xuan nodded and said, “As long as the materials are complete, not to mention the trivial Sect Protection Array, even an Execution Array for Great Emperors I could arrange.” Ye Xuan wasn’t joking, as long as the necessary materials were available, he could indeed set up an Execution Array for Great Emperors. “You sure can brag…” Zhou Youwei couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Ye Xuan. Despite saying this, Zhou Youwei still led Ye Xuan to the Spirit Array Palace. The Sect Protection Array was broken, and fixing the array was an urgent matter that had to be completed as soon as possible. Otherwise, three days later, with the arrival of Luotian Sacred Land, Emperor Immortal Sect would once again fall into a dangerous predicament. Emperor Immortal Sect, Spirit Array Palace. Spirit Array Palace was an independent entity within Emperor Immortal Sect, not subject to governance and generally only obeyed the orders of the Sect Master. From the common Mosquito Repelling Array and Dust Removal Array to the Sect Protection Array concerning the safety of the entire Emperor Immortal Sect, all arrays within Emperor Immortal Sect, small or large, were creations of the Spirit Array Palace. Today, the breach of the Sect Protection Array had thrown the Spirit Array Palace into a flurry of activity. “Don’t dawdle, the Sect Protection Array has been destroyed, if it can’t be repaired within three days, our sect will fall into an extremely dangerous predicament!” “Do you understand, you big fools?” Inside the Spirit Array Palace, a grey-robed old man was scolding loudly. “Master, the Sect Protection Array is severely damaged, three days might be too short to fully repair it…” Beside him, a middle-aged man said with a pained expression. “Failing to repair it sends a signal to other sects that Emperor Immortal Sect is failing, do you admit that we are failing? Huh?!” barked the grey-robed old man, puffing his beard and glaring. The middle-aged man, upon hearing this, was instantly at a loss for words. Knowing the old man’s personality, he knew that saying more was useless and it was better to just get on with it. “Three days to complete the repairs, ah, it’s too difficult…” the middle-aged man sighed internally. Many Spirit Array Palace disciples bustling in the hall were also internally groaning in misery. This was simply an impossible task. But none dared to contradict the old man’s commands. Because the grey-robed old man was none other than the Palace Master of the Spirit Array Palace, Master Zhou Lian, a Seventh Rank Spirit Array Master! A Spirit Array Master is similar to an Alchemist. An Alchemist from low to high is classified from First Tripod to Nine Tripods, whereas a Spirit Array Master, from low to high, is classified from First Rank to Ninth Rank. Master Zhou Lian was a Seventh Rank Spirit Array Master, the foremost among the Spirit Array Masters within Emperor Immortal Sect, and across the whole Lie Tian Upper Country, he was second to none. The disciples of the Spirit Array Palace all revered such a personage. Although the old man’s commands were somewhat unreasonable, it was after all for the sake of Emperor Immortal Sect. “Grandpa Lian.” Just then, an ethereal and melodious voice suddenly came from outside the hall. Master Zhou Lian, who was spurring on the disciples of the Spirit Array Palace, heard this voice and immediately paused, then turned to look outside the hall. “Little Youwei?” “You haven’t visited the Spirit Array Palace for a long time, what made you think of visiting Grandpa Lian today?” Master Zhou Lian’s face crinkled into a smile as he quickly stepped forward to greet her. “It’s the Holy Daughter!” All the young disciples of the Spirit Array Palace brightened up at the sight of the visitor, their eyes conveying adoration. Holy Daughter Zhou Youwei, she was a goddess in the hearts of many! “Grandpa Lian, Youwei has been busy with seclusion, so she hasn’t had time to come,” Zhou Youwei said with a sweet smile. “Ye Xuan, come and greet Grandpa Lian,” Zhou Youwei instructed Ye Xuan softly as she pulled him forward. Ye Xuan sized up Master Zhou Lian, nodded slightly as a greeting. The smile on Master Zhou Lian’s face instantly vanished, he grunted unhappily, “You’re that fool Ye Xuan who’s to marry Youwei, right? I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time!” The numerous disciples of the Spirit Array Palace also saw Ye Xuan, and their expressions turned unfriendly. Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, wondering if this old man was looking for trouble. Seeing the tense situation, Zhou Youwei hastily said, “Grandpa Lian, Youwei has come regarding the Sect Protection Array issue.” Indeed, upon hearing about the Sect Protection Array, Master Zhou Lian immediately showed a smile, confidently asserting, “Little Youwei, you don’t need to worry about this matter, within three days, the Sect Protection Array will definitely be repaired!” Everyone’s face instantly turned glum, their hearts wailing in despair. Despite working day and night for these three days, they probably wouldn’t be able to repair it! “Three days?” Ye Xuan slightly raised his eyebrows. Master Zhou Lian glanced sidelong at Ye Xuan and snorted, “What? Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Did that scare you?” “That’s right, for someone like you who doesn’t understand Spirit Array Masters, repairing the Sect Protection Array in three days indeed seems like an impossible reality.” However, even before Master Zhou Lian could finish speaking, Ye Xuan was shaking his head, speaking calmly, “Give me half a day, I’ll set up a new array.” Upon hearing this, the entire Spirit Array Palace fell silent, like the drop of a needle could be heard. All eyes were wide as they stared at Ye Xuan.
