I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 766: Chapter 408: The Grand Array Blocks the Enemy (Part 2)

Inside the passage, the cultivators watching Li Mu’s array formation sensed the strength of this Yin Fiend power, and their expressions changed dramatically.

"This power is almost the same as the power of the restrictions outside the secret realm!"

"Haha! Great! This grand array will surely trap those guys outside!"

"Master Li is amazing! Truly deserving of the title of Array Grandmaster!"

"Uh! It seems we’re trapped too. How will we get out later?"

"This array was set up personally by Master Li, so he surely knows how to break it!"

...

Watching Li Mu, the cultivators engaged in lively discussions, praising his array skills highly, yet some also expressed concern about how to leave in the future. However, most still had confidence in Li Mu.

Li Mu was fully focused on controlling the array’s formation, ignoring the discussions behind him, continuously adjusting the structure and power distribution of the array to ensure it could enhance the defense by utilizing the power of the Earth Demon Gathering Yin Array to the utmost.

Finally, as the last bit of spiritual power merged into the ground, the entire array was fully activated, and a stronger Yin Fiend energy rose from within the array. It overflowed into the passage, creating unprecedented pressure on the cultivators attacking the protective array outside, who then halted their assault, shock evident on their faces as they stared at the powerful aura emitted from within the passage.

Meanwhile, outside the passage in the Ice Ghost Valley, the temporary base of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had now been occupied by a group of high-tier cultivators.

This group seemed to be a makeshift force. Some were solitary, others in groups of three to five, dressed in various garb, including flowing daoist robes, exquisite armor, and simple cloth garments. Their backgrounds and purposes differed, but they gathered here with a common goal, forming a force not to be ignored.

At this moment, a group of Void Refining cultivators was attacking the protective array outside the passage with full force. Their mana surging, various spells and spiritual artifacts combined to create a spectacular scene. However, the protective array’s surprising strength made these Void Refining cultivators feel troubled.

Just then, a powerful surge of Yin Fiend energy emerged from within the passage, causing a drastic change in the faces of all cultivators present as they felt the terrifying power within that seemed capable of destroying everything.

"What’s going on! Could it be that Qian Wantong has broken the restrictions within the secret realm! We can’t let them succeed, let’s intensify our efforts to break the array!"

Bian Chongzong, the commander of the Treasure Hunting Team from Celestial Secret Tower, exclaimed in shock.

With Bian Chongzong’s rallying, the cultivators quickly became invigorated, their expressions anxious. The frequency and output of their attacks and mana surged, spells and spiritual artifacts furiously bombarding the protective array before the passage.

"Bunch of useless fools, can’t even take down a mere Tier Seven Eight Trigrams Five Extremes Protection Array."

Within the crowd, ’Hong San’, disguised as a Nascent Soul cultivator, had a glint of bloodlust in his eyes, eager to immediately kill all the cultivators present.

"Demon Lord, please be patient. Now is not the time to act. The array power from the restriction just now is extraordinary, and it’s yet to be confirmed if the Sealed Land lies beneath. It’s good to let this crowd scout the way for us."

Perceiving the killing intent on ’Hong San,’ Ancestor Wutian Demon communicated through divine thought to caution.

Hearing this, ’Hong San’ took a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent in his heart. Now indeed wasn’t the time to act, unable to confirm the location of the Sealed Land, his identity couldn’t be exposed yet.

"Have your men act, concentrate force to attack the east - Shen Position!" ’Hong San’ communicated a command to Ancestor Wutian Demon through divine thought.

Ancestor Wutian nodded and immediately passed ’Hong San’s’ command to the Nine Demons Sect cultivators hidden among the crowd through divine thought. Upon receiving the command, these cultivators began to incite the surrounding ones, urging them to focus their forces on attacking the eastern Shen Position of the Eight Trigrams Array.

"Fellow Daoists, elders, I am slightly skilled in arrays and just observed slight instability in the protective array at the Shen Position in the east. If we concentrate our efforts there, we can surely break through this array!" a Divinity Transformation cultivator disguised from Nine Demons Sect loudly proclaimed, trying to lead the cultivators.

Spurred by his words, the cultivators shifted their attack targets towards the east - Shen Position. In an instant, various spells and spiritual artifacts flew toward the array’s Shen Position, bursting with powerful energy fluctuations.

With a "boom!" a dazzling light erupted from the Shen Position, the entire Eight Trigrams Five Extremes Array trembled and came to a halt, crashing down!

"Broke it, the protective array is broken!"

"Let’s charge forward!"

...

With the fall of the protective array, the cultivators burst into enthusiastic cheers, rushing forward one by one.

"Profound Yin Spirit Grass!"

"That’s a Yin Sha Stone, such high quality!"

...

Inside the passage, the cultivators swarmed like locusts, frantically vying for the various rare spiritual materials that appeared before them. These materials were difficult to come by in the outside world, yet here they seemed to be laid out for them, free for the taking.

Ancestor Wutian Demon, along with the Nine Demons Sect cultivators, surrounded ’Hong San’, ignoring the high-tier spirit grass and high-tier spirit ores growing within the passage, they followed the Void Refining cultivators swiftly towards the end of the passage, where lay their real target.

...

At the other end of the passage, Qian Wantong and others also sensed the fierce attack from outside, quickly perceiving that the protective array had been breached.

"Master Li, our Eight Trigrams Five Extremes Array was broken so swiftly, now can the grand array you set up hold?" Qian Wantong looked to Li Mu, asking worriedly.

"Indeed! The Eight Trigrams Five Extremes Array was broken so quickly, there must be experts among them!" Wan Shaoming spoke eagerly, looking at the array Li Mu was setting up, his brow filled with anxiety.

As Li Mu’s formation progressed, a powerful Yin Fiend energy began to pervade the entrance of the passage, growing denser, covering the entire passage entrance with a strong energy shield, like an invisible wall, completely sealing off the entrance.

However, considering how quickly they broke the Eight Trigrams Five Extremes Array, it might not be long before they break through this array too.

"Don’t worry, this grand array incorporates the power of the Earth Demon Gathering Yin Array, its defense is far beyond that of the Eight Trigrams Five Extremes Array. Breaking it won’t be easy for them." Li Mu smiled slightly, speaking with confidence.

Currently, the formation Li Mu was setting up was the Yin Inference Array, one of the twelve sub-arrays within the Yin Yang Celestial Derivation Array, combined with modified elements of the Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array. By utilizing the overflowing array power from the Earth Demon Gathering Yin Array as its source, its power was astonishing. This array at the passage entrance incorporated the essence of Li Mu’s Seventh-Level Array Technique, the culmination of years of research and practice.

Although Qian Wantong, Wan Shaoming, and others weren’t well-versed in arrays, seeing Li Mu’s confident demeanor and feeling the powerful aura emanating from the formation, their doubts gradually dissipated.

"This array will consume part of the Earth Demon Gathering Yin Array’s power. If they attack the array, it will aid us in breaking the restriction ahead." Li Mu explained to the cultivators.

"It has such a miraculous effect?" Qian Wantong exclaimed, increasingly impressed by Li Mu’s array skills.

"Then won’t we be able to reap the benefits effortlessly?" Wan Shaoming’s eyes lit up, seemingly seeing the dawn of a successful entry into the secret realm.

Li Mu nodded but then shook his head, "In theory, yes, but it’s not that simple. If they find breaking the array fruitless, they might change their strategy. Also, although this array is powerful, it has its limits, so we can’t rely on it entirely."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding, feeling slightly burdened.

Outside the passage, the Void Refining cultivators gathered together, frowning as they discussed strategies. They sensed the formidable and strange power of the array restriction ahead, knowing breaking it wouldn’t be easy, but they had no intentions of giving up.

"Demon Lord, what kind of array is this, could it be the restriction of the Sealed Land?"

Ancestor Wutian Demon gazed at the thick Yin Sha Array Shield blocking the way, looking towards ’Hong San’, communicating through divine thought to ask for guidance.

’Hong San’ frowned deeply, a solemn expression on his face. With his Integration Realm cultivation, he clearly felt the extraordinary nature of the grand array ahead, filled with a sense of killing intent.
