Chapter 294: Upgrading the Array

After the old man left, Lingyun's figure appeared once again in the same spot.

Gazing at the old man's disappearing back, he frowned slightly: "This feeling, is it an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon? Why would an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon appear in this place, and why is its strength so low to this degree?"

After some thought yielded no results, Lingyun decided to put this matter to the back of his mind for now; after all, it was better to leave such things to Youruo to resolve. As the Heavenly Dao, she was far more convenient than Lingyun when it came to investigating information about this world.

Lingyun formed a peculiar Dharma Seal with both hands, and a seven-colored vortex appeared before him. Seeing the vortex appear, Lingyun nodded slightly, then threw a piece of paper from his hand into the vortex. The vortex twisted a few times, then vanished into the Void. After finishing this, Lingyun's figure flickered and also vanished into the Void.

"Boom, boom, boom," Luo Yexi and the Medicine King Valley Elder struck three palms against each other, the powerful Qi energy leaking out and carving a large chunk off the ground beneath their feet. The Medicine King Valley Elder's face instantly turned bright red, his body retreated several steps, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. As the blood hit the ground, it was instantly evaporated into a patch of blood clots.

"It is time to end this!" Luo Yexi waved her right hand lightly, drawing a line forward with her finger as a sword, and the Nine Yang Power slowly condensed into a golden-red Light Ball in her hand. "Take my move, First Form: Initial Sun Scorching the Sky!"

The golden-red Light Ball tore through the air, smashing toward the direction of that Elder.

"Heaven Tearing Hand!" Sensing the terrifying power contained within the golden-red Light Ball, alarm bells rang in the Elder's heart; his intuition told him that if he were struck by this golden-red Light Ball, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking of this, he immediately channeled all his True Qi and unleashed his most powerful technique.

A pair of pale cyan giant hands appeared in mid-air, reaching out to grab the golden-red Light Ball. Seeing the Light Ball crash straight into the pale cyan giant hands, a flash of joy crossed the Medicine King Valley Elder's eyes; this Heaven Tearing Hand was his signature technique, capable of tearing even the attacks of Xiantian Ultimate experts into shreds.

With a "Boom," the golden-red Light Ball tore through the pale cyan giant hands as if they were thin paper, opening a large hole in them.

"This, how is this possible?" With his proudest technique broken, the Medicine King Valley Elder's expression changed drastically, and he turned to flee.

However, the golden-red Light Ball had already slammed into his body, instantly reducing him to ashes.

Elsewhere, Esdeath gazed at the two ice sculptures before her, a flash of unclear light in her eyes. In this battle, she had suppressed her strength to the same level as her opponents; although it was still a crushing victory in the end, it allowed her to experience a completely different way of fighting.

"Die!" Following a cold shout from Chen Jing, the last Bintie Crossbow soldier fell under her sword. Chen Jing let out a long breath; on her body were many gruesome wounds, left behind by the Bintie Crossbow soldiers during the earlier engagement.

Chen Jing felt the stinging pain on her body and couldn't help but frown, then pulled a jade bottle from her bosom. Chen Jing poured out a Blood Coagulation Pill from the jade bottle and placed it directly into her mouth. After swallowing the Blood Coagulation Pill, the wounds on her body began to heal rapidly; in just a few minutes of time, her external injuries were all completely healed.

"Boom, boom," Elders Xuanfeng and Xuanlei also finally struck down their opponents with their swords. Thus, the entire group from Medicine King Valley that had ambushed Lingyun's party was wiped out.

After returning to Beijing, Liu Xuan parted ways with Chen Jing and the others; after all, she still had the mission left to her by her sect.

"Ah, finally back!" As soon as she returned to her Villa, Chen Jing threw herself onto the sofa, a comfortable expression appearing on her face. "It really is most comfortable at home!"

Lingyun smiled faintly and said, "I am going to upgrade the outer Array; you just rest well here!"

Lingyun walked out of the room and arrived at an open space. He waved his hand, and a large pile of items appeared before him. These items looked as if they had absolutely nothing to do with an Array, but in Lingyun's eyes, they were good things for strengthening the Array.

Lingyun first took out a piece of Black Wood, a faint light glowing on his fingers as he slid them rapidly across the wood. Before long, Lingyun had a wood carving covered in Array Patterns in his hand. Although Black Wood was seen by ordinary people as merely an item that could enhance alchemy fire during pill refining, no one knew that Black Wood was actually a material with excellent capacity for bearing Array Patterns.

After Lingyun rapidly carved Array Patterns onto all the Black Wood in his hands, he waved his hand again and took out another material. This material was called Gold Spirit Sand, a relatively rare material that could make weapons much sharper if added to them.

Lingyun formed seals with both hands, and a mouthful of flame erupted from his mouth. The flame landed on the Gold Spirit Sand, and the extremely difficult-to-melt Gold Spirit Sand turned into a pool of liquid in just a few short minutes.

Afterward, Lingyun's hands moved continuously, and one type of material after another appeared in the flame before him. After these materials were turned into liquid by Lingyun's Nine Yang True Fire, they mixed together with the liquid formed from the Gold Spirit Sand.

After adding dozens of different materials, the liquid formed from the Gold Spirit Sand had turned completely golden-yellow, looking extremely dazzling. Under Lingyun's manipulation, these liquids rapidly wrapped around the Black Wood on the ground. When the liquid solidified, dazzling golden patterns had appeared on the Black Wood.

Lingyun nodded slightly, then beckoned gently with both hands, and all the Black Wood before him flew up, then turned into streams of light and landed in three different places at the Villa. After the Black Wood landed on the ground, it rapidly merged into the earth.

Seeing this, Lingyun nodded slightly, then rapidly formed a series of complex Dharma Seals with his hands. A series of Array Patterns spread out in all directions with Lingyun as the center. At the same time, the Black Wood merged into the ground began to echo with the Array Patterns Lingyun had laid out.

Within a short period of time, all three Villas were shrouded in invisible Array Patterns. At the same time, the Array Patterns Lingyun had previously laid out here began to emerge. The two completely different sets of Array Patterns appeared simultaneously; not only did they have no conflict, but they merged together extremely harmoniously, finally fusing into a brand-new Array.

The moment the Array took shape, a flash of sharp light crossed Lingyun's eyes, and he shouted coldly: "Array, activate!"

The Array Patterns of the Array flickered a few times, then vanished into the Void. However, an inexplicable aura had already shrouded these three Villas.

Feeling the information from the Array, Lingyun nodded slightly. The power of this newly formed Array had already increased many times over. If it could previously only barely resist Golden Core experts, the power of the Array now had increased many times over. If an average Golden Core powerhouse were to break in, they would at least lose a layer of skin even if they didn't die. Moreover, the spirit-gathering effect of the Array had also increased significantly; with its power increased many times over, it could already be compared to some small Cave Heaven Blessed Lands.

Lingyun waved his hand, and the last bit of the Array Patterns faded into the Void. Now he intended to go see the Su Family; Su Wanyue had not been in contact with him for some time, and he was a bit worried.
