Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Tongtong’s Breakthrough
The noblewoman’s thoughts were naturally understood by Liu Zixuan.
Tongtong’s master was trapped by an array at the Jade Maiden Sect, life or death unknown. Now, she had only a few days to live due to the corpse poison in her system, making Tongtong the sole bloodline of the Jade Maiden Sect.
In her words, beyond revenge, she wished for Liu Zixuan to help take care of Tongtong, so that this bloodline could continue.
Liu Zixuan nodded solemnly: "Senior, please rest assured. As long as I am alive, I will accomplish everything you’ve entrusted to me!"
The noblewoman nodded: "Then start suppressing the toxins for me, and later find me a secluded place. Let’s strive to help Tongtong break through to the Emperor Realm today."
"Okay!" Liu Zixuan nodded and began helping the noblewoman suppress the toxins. The corpse poison was in the dantian; essentially, what needed to be done was to adjust the breath and circulation of the meridians so as not to bring out the toxins, which was not difficult for Liu Zixuan.
After about ten minutes, the noblewoman’s complexion regained its normal color, no longer the previous pallor.
After a simple breath adjustment, she smiled and said: "I’ve long heard of your remarkable medical skills. It seems your reputation is indeed well-deserved!"
"Senior, you flatter me. When helping Tongtong break through the realm, you must also act within your capacity. I can only temporarily not remove the toxins. Once I retrieve the Ghost Gate Needle, I will definitely help you completely eradicate the corpse poison," Liu Zixuan said with cupped hands.
"Okay." The noblewoman smiled and nodded.
In the time that followed, Liu Zixuan took the noblewoman and Tongtong to an underground space. With the help of Celestial Dew, they would surely achieve twice the result with half the effort!
Back in the manor’s living room, Gu Yu rubbed her sleepy eyes: "While you were busy earlier, I’ve already selected the weapons you wanted. Huang Youcai just called, saying that the path on the mountain has been mostly cleared. Who would have thought that beyond the mountain path lies an inner mountain space, and it’s quite large!"
"Inner mountain space? Is it natural?" Liu Zixuan asked.
Gu Yu shook her head: "Still cannot be determined. Huang Youcai and his team want to check it out, but as the worker in the lead was about to step inside, a wave of heat pushed him back, and they couldn’t advance. I’m afraid you’ll need to go there yourself."
Liu Zixuan glanced at the time: "It’s almost sunrise. Here’s the plan. Inform Huang Youcai and the others to come out, and prepare some breakfast, and we’ll wait a bit for Tongtong and them."
"I understand taking a break and having some food, but why wait for Tongtong?" Gu Yu asked, puzzled.
Liu Zixuan’s lips curled slightly: "Do you remember the Big Dipper Array I mentioned to you?"
"I remember, didn’t you say you could do it by yourself..."
At this point, Gu Yu suddenly slapped her forehead: "Look at me forgetting that Tongtong is a genius array master."
"Exactly, as long as Tongtong successfully steps into the Emperor Realm, with our combined expertise in arrays, we can set up the Big Dipper Array. Although it won’t be perfect, I’m confident that even experts at the Innate Emperor Realm won’t be able to break it!"
Undoubtedly, Liu Zixuan’s words were the best news in many days.
Now that the grand array has been settled, could the day for launching attacks against the Celestial Dao Alliance be far off?
...
Time passed, and before they knew it, the sun was already high in the sky by nine in the morning.
When Liu Zixuan and the others were relaxing with tea, Tongtong came running in joyfully.
"Big Brother, I’ve broken through! I’m an Emperor Realm expert too now!"
Tongtong gleefully approached Liu Zixuan, exclaiming excitedly.
Looking at her, Liu Zixuan instantly sensed the aura of an Acquired Emperor Realm on Tongtong. Although it’s just the Acquired Emperor Realm, her impact on the Celestial Dao Alliance is limited, but let’s not forget, Tongtong is truly a genius in arrays.
With her array expertise, coupled with the unique cultivation techniques of the Jade Maiden Sect, her current Acquired Emperor Realm power can probably contend with experts of the Innate Emperor Realm First Heaven.
Truly happy for Tongtong for a moment, Liu Zixuan then asked: "Where is your martial uncle?"
"Martial Uncle transferred a lot of inner strength to me, saying she needed to retreat for a few days and told me to come out and help you," Tongtong explained.
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, thinking the noblewoman didn’t want Tongtong to know the truth, using this method for a well-intentioned lie.
"Well then, I really do need your help for a big task!" Liu Zixuan playfully tapped Tongtong’s nose and laughed.
"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I’ll help with all my might!"
"Do you remember the Star Map we talked about?"
"Of course I remember. All the arrays in that map are in my head!" Tongtong replied proudly.
"I need you to set up the Big Dipper Grand Array with me!"
"Ah!"
Tongtong, initially wearing a proud expression, widened her adorable eyes upon hearing this: "That’s the strongest array in the Star Map. Can the two of us really set it up?"
"What? Has the little divine maiden of arrays finally got something to fear?" Liu Zixuan teased with a smile.
Tongtong pouted: "Tch, as long as Big Brother dares to do it, I dare to do it too!"
"Alright, before we begin, let’s check out an interesting place first," Liu Zixuan said, glancing at Gu Yu, "You take Tongtong to the cave entrance and wait for me."
"Okay!"
With this, Gu Yu and the group started walking outside.
Looking at Liu Ruyan and the beautiful master, Liu Zixuan said: "That senior is surely weak now, please help take care of her."
"Don’t worry, don’t forget, my master is also in the manor. With her here, she’ll definitely hold on until you retrieve the Ghost Gate Needle!" the beautiful master proudly laughed.
Liu Zixuan scratched his head: "I forgot about that!"
"Gu Yu just mentioned that the space within the mountain posed dangers. You must exercise caution as everyone is counting on you. Please, no more accidents," Liu Ruyan said with a furrowed brow.
Liu Zixuan waved his hand: "I know what I’m doing. By the way, where’s Doudou?"
"He seems to be over there. Huang Youcai and the others said they saw Doudou taking Little Blue in that direction."
Liu Zixuan nodded and quickly headed over.
But before he could reach the cave, he saw Doudou running over with tears, throwing herself into Liu Zixuan’s arms.
"What’s wrong?" Liu Zixuan asked anxiously.
"Brother Xuan, Little Blue...something happened to it!" Doudou muttered, tears streaming down her face.
"What happened?"
"Earlier, I brought it over to play, but when it approached the cave, it went crazy and rushed in. I wanted to follow, but as I reached the entrance, an invisible force kept me outside. From there, I watched Little Blue get numerous wounds, bleeding. Go check it quickly; will it die?"
Doudou cried as she pulled Liu Zixuan, quickly dragging him inside...
ps: I’m feeling unwell today. After work, I went to get an IV and came back groggy to write this Chapter, so it ends here for now. I’ll add more after I feel better.
