Chapter 318: Chapter 225: Cultivation World 15
In the storage bags of these deceased individuals, Si Lingle also found six jade slips.
The first jade slip belonged to a late-stage Golden Core cultivator from Xuanwu Mountain Villa, whose Taoist name was Ban.
This Ban was a person from 2000 in the Li Yuan, and now it is 4116 in the Li Yuan.
In the Lower Qingxuan, the Bagua is used as the era name, changing once every ten thousand years.
Ban mentioned in the jade slip that this secret realm is in the Dendrobium Secret Realm. After entering the secret realm, he and his companions were teleported to this Sealed Demon Land after discovering an ancient cultivator’s cave dwelling.
After entering the Sealed Demon Land, they could still maintain their clarity at first.
But over time, this Sealed Demon Land had no spiritual energy, and people were eroded by demonic qi, unable to stay clear-headed, turning mad.
Once maddened, they engaged in battles with other cultivators who also fell here.
These deceased individuals did not die at the hands of the Heavenly Demons, but rather at the hands of maddened cultivators of the Sealed Demon Land.
Ban left this jade slip while he was still clear-headed.
At the end of the jade slip, Ban also mentioned that he and his companions searched the entire Sealed Demon Land, found some array hubs of the Sealing Array, but, due to his limited understanding of arrays, could not discern what kind of array it was, nor find the Life Gate to leave.
The jade slip includes a map of these array hub locations.
Ban also hoped that if someone could leave here in the future, they would take his remains back to Xuanwu Mountain Villa.
The other five jade slips, two were left by Qingxuan Sect cultivators, one left by a Heavenly Sword Sect cultivator, one by a Medicine King Sect cultivator, and one by a Hundred Flowers Sect cultivator.
These jade slips also mentioned that they accidentally fell into the Sealed Demon Land, were trapped here, and could not find an exit to leave, eventually dying here.
However, two people found the traces of the Sealing Array and drew maps.
They had limited knowledge of arrays, hence were trapped and died here.
Si Lingle organized these maps and decided to go take a look first.
To conserve her spiritual energy, Si Lingle took out her flying device and flew forward.
After flying for more than two hours, she reached the first array hub location. After checking, Si Lingle went to other array hub locations.
After flying for a while, Si Lingle encountered people.
She encountered a guard from the City Lord Mansion; the guard moved with Si Lingle, and then they met other fellow Daoists.
These people learned from Si Lingle’s mouth that they had fallen into the Sealed Demon Land.
Now Si Lingle was examining the array hubs of the Sealing Arrays, wanting to deduce what kind of grand array it was.
Everyone accompanied her together.
Some of these people were slightly surprised, not expecting that Si Lingle, being a Sword Cultivator, actually understood arrays, and judging from the other party’s manner, her array level was not low.
Si Lingle examined several array hubs, then began deducing the type of array.
Finally, she deduced it was the Demon Suppression Vajra Array.
The array map left by Si Lingle’s teacher, Yi Heng Daojun, had the Demon Suppression Vajra Array, allowing Si Lingle to recognize it.
Yi Heng Daojun’s array level had reached the Ninth Rank, considered not low.
As a student of Yi Heng Daojun, Si Lingle learned a lot from the array insights given by Yi Heng Daojun.
Additionally, Si Lingle also obtained some array books from the underground palace, accelerating her array level breakthrough.
Si Lingle said, "Why don’t we split into pairs to check these array hub locations? If it truly is the Demon Suppression Vajra Array, perhaps I know the location of the Life Gate."
The others nodded, agreeing to the suggestion.
This Sealed Demon Land has no treasures to offer, staying longer here serves no purpose and it also poses a danger.
Leaving sooner would be the best outcome.
Si Lingle and a guard from the City Lord Mansion, an early Golden Core stage cultivator with the Taoist name Xu Sheng, acted together.
While verifying the array hub, they encountered the City Lord’s daughter, Ruo Yu, who was in danger.
She encountered a Heavenly Demon.
If not for Si Lingle and Xu Sheng’s appearance, Ruo Yu might have been killed by that Heavenly Demon.
"Miss," Xu Sheng rushed to Ruo Yu’s side after killing the Heavenly Demon, giving her an elixir to take.
"Did you find my brother and the others?" Ruo Yu asked after taking the elixir.
"We haven’t found the Young Master yet," Xu Sheng replied.
Xu Sheng briefly explained what Si Lingle had discovered.
"Then let’s verify the array hub while searching for my brother."
Then they proceeded to act together.
Several hours later, everyone regrouped.
Young Master Yu Xiao was also found; everyone was unharmed.
"This is indeed the Demon Suppression Vajra Array, but this array has been eroded significantly by demonic qi. To prevent the Heavenly Demon from breaking out of the Sealed Demon Land, I think we should repair this Demon Suppression Vajra Array first before we leave." Si Lingle stated, scanning everyone’s expressions.
