Chapter 716: Array Spirit White Deer

"The Blood Moon Disaster, a great calamity for all living things!"

On this day, a woman in white robes suddenly arrived above the ruins of Qianyang City.

She rode a streak of light, circling above the long-abandoned Immortal cultivation city, seemingly in regret and mourning...

"I never expected that after being trapped in the ruins and cultivating for several hundred years, I would encounter such a massive change upon emerging... The Taiyin in reverse, the Blood Moon Disaster? I wonder how Master and the sect are faring?"

Bai Caiwei murmured to herself.

She had previously been in charge of the sect, but suddenly received a Jade Slip from a close friend.

It turned out that the reason she was able to reach Golden Core back then was because she and her friend had jointly excavated a small ruin and obtained an opportunity from it.

By using that Ancient Teleportation Array, one could easily bypass the Boundless Blood Sea and head to the Extreme West!

That white deer appeared once again, looking at Baiyunzi and Diao'ao Sou with a disdainful tone.

Just look at the stone table, where a slightly rusted Invisible Sword was prominently displayed!

Taking another sip of Spirit Tea, Aaron leisurely narrowed his eyes: "Hmm... this first great battle, I still won..."

If Great Gan managed to hold out later, they could still return!

With a cold snort, she was about to lash out, but the old man Diao'ao Sou beside her grabbed her arm and whispered: "Junior Sister... the other party is a Nascent Soul cultivator after all, perhaps he has hidden some trump cards. Now that we have suffered heavy damage to our Essence Qi, I fear we cannot withstand the next wave of pursuers. It is better to leave it to fate..."

"So it is a Nascent Soul senior. This junior, Shen Xiuxin of the Shushan Sword Pavilion, pays respects to the senior!"

Recently, there have even been faint traces of that supreme Blood Demon!

Seeing wisps of blood-colored Light emerging outside the ruins of the Xuantian Sect, Bai Caiwei could not help but change color: "The Blood Demon has caught up! Enter the Array quickly!"

A White Jade Knife landed in Bai Caiwei's hand. She stroked the blade, looking at the wisps of blood-colored Light on the edge, and her brows could not help but knit tightly.

"Does this count as planting a flag? Hmm, should I issue an order later... to kill any cultivator named 'Mei Youren' on sight?"

Baiyunzi raised an eyebrow. Her temperament was as fiery as fire; in the past, fellow Daoists of the same rank in the outside world had to give her some face for the sake of the Shushan Sword Pavilion. How could she endure being treated like this?

Baiyunzi and Diao'ao Sou exchanged a glance, temporarily suppressing certain thoughts in their hearts.

She smiled slightly and raised her hand to tap lightly.

That day, after getting to know Bai Caiwei, they encountered the pursuit of the Blood Demon army together, and on the suggestion of Shen Xiuxin, they converged with her two martial uncles.

"I don't know how the Yaowang Sect is doing... Master has likely passed away by now, and there is also Junior Brother Shen..."

Bai Caiwei transformed into a streak of light, entering the Xuantian Sect ruins first, sweeping past numerous ruins, and charging straight for the core Beidou Hall!

"This..."

Diao'ao Sou hurriedly said: "This old man is also an Array Master. Although I cannot set up an Ancient Teleportation Array, I can manage to repair a corner of it... Is this the Extreme West?"

Two of the Sword Lights converged, revealing two Nascent Soul-level Sword Cultivators.

Given this Spirit Beast's cowardly nature, it surely wouldn't dare to show its face, wouldn't it be afraid of seeing something it shouldn't and being silenced?

Aaron finished the Ritual in a by-the-book manner, dispelling the Blood Moon radiance and mist.

Several months later.

"The Black Demon Sect... the Shushan Sword Pavilion... they can just happen to form an absolutely safe defensive circle in the Extreme West."

Picking up a piece and casually inputting his Divine Sense, he saw a Sword Formula, which was actually the complete "Taiqing Formless Sword Art"!

Besides this, there were also "Taixu Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi", "Void Sword Condensation Canon", and so on...

He paused, dipped his finger in tea, and on the stone table in front of him, traced a Ritual Array for the bestowal ceremony:

Between heaven and earth, such a great change had actually occurred!

"So you are a cultivator from the Shushan Sword Pavilion." Bai Caiwei nodded slightly: "How did you end up being hunted by these Blood Sea demon creatures?... I have been in seclusion, and I don't know how the situation on the front lines is now."

"My Shushan Sword Pavilion's Mountain Protection Array requires the Spirit Treasure Invisible Sword as its hub... If the Pavilion Master had not lost the Invisible Sword in the Blood Sea, the Wan Jian Gui Zong Array could have held out for some more time, waiting for reinforcements to arrive..."

"Disciple Bai Caiwei, please let the Array open, Lu Lao!"

"Little girl... where did you bring so many outsiders from? And such a formidable opponent?"

Bai Caiwei nodded slightly.

Fortunately, her heritage was excellent, and she knew of another path!

Teleportation Array!

This was a technology that had been lost in the current Immortal Cultivation World, but the Xuantian Sect had set up quite a few back then, and some could still be used!

In the end, her friend unfortunately fell, and she herself was trapped in the Xuantian Sect ruins at Ten Thousand Demon Lake, disappearing for several hundred years!

All of these were True Disciple techniques of the Shushan Sword Pavilion, and even ordinary True Disciples might not necessarily be able to see them!

Unfortunately...

Even though she didn't get along well with Junior Brother Shen before, now that she looked back after reaching Nascent Soul, Bai Caiwei even felt some nostalgia...

"Thank you for your bestowal!"

A group of cultivators hurriedly fled into the Beidou Hall, seeing a hall built entirely of mysterious jade.

A month ago!

Bai Caiwei took out a Token and cast a spell into it.

Lu Lao let out a bleat, and an Ancient Teleportation Array lit up.

"To think that even the Shushan Sword Pavilion of the Ten Great Sects of Great Gan has..." Bai Caiwei's expression was shocked.

Behind the Yaowang Sect.

"And Nascent Soul strength is enough to suppress the Extreme West!"

Although the major Immortal cultivation sects kept their fundamental techniques secret, Aaron directly had the Blood Demon break through the Shushan Sword Pavilion's mountain gate, looted the Library Pavilion, and refined a group of Nascent Soul and Golden Core Sword Cultivators into Blood Demon Children, searching their souls and seizing their spirits one by one to ensure the authenticity of the classics.

Although there was already a consensus on the Blood Moon Disaster in the Immortal Cultivation World and the mortal realm, such as not going out after dark and especially not looking at the moon... but he naturally didn't care about this.

It is said that countless ordinary cultivators have fallen, and even Nascent Soul old monsters have suffered heavy casualties.

This news truly gave her a start.

Therefore, Bai Caiwei had no choice but to reveal her identity and lead everyone to Ten Thousand Demon Lake.

……

Aaron was contentedly brewing Spirit Tea, admiring the magnificent sight of the Blood Moon in the night sky.

Before Bai Caiwei could even adjust her mood, she suddenly saw Baiyunzi point his finger, and a streak of Sword Light flew out, severing a corner of the Ancient Teleportation Array!

"What are you doing?"

Ten Thousand Demon Lake.

And behind these cultivators, there were indeed demonic creatures resembling Yakshas in pursuit; judging by their aura, they were around the late stage of Golden Core.

As for the blood-colored rust marks on the sword body, they came from the contamination of 'Red' Spirituality; for other Immortal Cultivators, removing them might be extremely difficult, but for Aaron, it was just a matter of a single thought.

"This Disciple understands."

"Exactly... please follow me into the ruins of the Xuantian Sect! If you are unwilling, you may hide on your own!"

Fortunately, she finally obtained the recognition of the Array spirit, and now she could be considered a successor Disciple of the Xuantian Sect; she even obtained resources and broke through the Nascent Soul chasm!

It was just a pity that when she re-emerged into the world, Bai Caiwei found that everything had changed and was no longer as it once was.

"Agreed!"

Thinking of this, Bai Caiwei no longer hesitated, transforming into a streak of white escape Light and fleeing toward the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

These two Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators, one with the Daoist name 'Baiyunzi' and the other with the nickname 'Diao'ao Sou', were collectively known as the 'Two Elders of East Mountain' and were considered the last remaining Nascent Soul Elders of the Shushan Sword Pavilion.

However, as long as the main body was willing to respond, everything was easy to handle.

After all, within this Great Array, once the Array spirit intended to deal with them, all of them would have their lifespans instantly drained away and die!

"The Yaowang Sect has unified the Far West; ever since they finished off those Dharma Kings... the movements of the Ghost Cultivators have also become much calmer..."

Several streaks of white jade-like blade Light flashed, and those pursuing flying Yakshas were instantly decapitated, their corpses falling to the ground and turning into pus and blood.

The Array Formation fluctuated suddenly, and a white deer appeared, nodding at Bai Caiwei and causing a portal to emerge in the Array Formation.

The original route was no longer viable.

After Bai Caiwei came out of seclusion, she immediately found other Immortal Cultivators to understand the situation, knowing that the current Great Qian Cultivation World was already in a precarious state.

Far West.

Shen Xiuxin's expression was dim.

"Do not blame us, fellow Daoist; we did this just in case, to prevent that Blood Demon from using this array to pursue us as well..."

This female Golden Core cultivator still did not forget to give a warning while fleeing for her life, rather than bringing disaster upon others; this kind of character was already very rare in the Immortal Cultivation World.

"It is rumored... that this Spirit Treasure, the Invisible Sword, is the treasure that guards the Shushan Sword Pavilion, and it already possesses the ability to become sentient and take form... now it seems its Spirituality is greatly damaged... or rather, its consciousness was forcibly erased by supreme Dharma Power; this... is also quite good, to avoid it suddenly rising up and stabbing me with a sword..."

"Lu Lao, that blood cloud is a Demon who descended from the Immortal Realm; may I ask if you can deal with it?"

"Fellow Daoist Bai... can this place really resist that Blood Demon?"

Uh...

"Correct!"

Bai Caiwei gave a bitter smile; once the Golden Core is formed, there is no regret. She probably would never be able to refine her Life-Bound Divine Ability into a Golden Core in this lifetime to become a core Disciple of the Xuantian Sect: "Since that is the case, please, Lu Lao, open the Ancient Teleportation Array and send me to the Far West!"

Bai Caiwei had just flown out several dozen miles when her delicate brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

Bai Caiwei bowed and asked gracefully.

"Stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life..."

A Spirit Treasure is a Spirit Treasure; what is the point of turning into a human shape? Wouldn't it be better to just honestly be a sword?

Cultivators need thoughts, but Dharma Treasures do not need thoughts!

Looking at the two Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators, Bai Caiwei forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and replied with a cold face.

Later, her friend studied the ancient artifacts in the ruins and finally confirmed that the ruins were the Cave Abode of an Ancient Xuantian Sect True Disciple!

Furthermore, there was even a True Disciple Token and a map of the Xuantian Sect's mountain gate in the Cave Abode!

As for Xiaoqing?

"I pray for you to open the gate and bestow upon me the promised thing..."

This made Bai Caiwei somewhat afraid, and she wanted to return to her hometown to hide, and incidentally see how the sect and old friends were doing.

That 'Supreme Big Dipper Edict Array' was still operating, emitting infinite Light and carrying a profound rhythm...

But in her gaze toward the blood cloud outside, there was full of wariness.

This piece of Spirit Treasure looked just like a long, narrow piece of thin ice, with red rust marks on the edges, but it was still incomparably sharp!

She wore her hair in two buns and was riding a red silk ribbon Dharma Treasure; seeing Bai Caiwei, who was hiding her cultivation, she shouted via sound transmission: "Fellow Daoist, be careful... we are being pursued by the Blood Demon Child!"

"Now with the Shushan Sword Pavilion Secret Transmission plus the Spirit Treasure Invisible Sword... who would dare say I am a monkey version?!"

"Great Blood Moon..."

Aaron scanned the surroundings; under his Nascent Soul Divine Sense, he confirmed that the Array Formation was complete and no one was peeking.

Aaron picked up the Invisible Sword casually.

Dozens of streaks of escape Light crisscrossed and arrived outside the Beidou Hall.

'Forget it... we Immortal Cultivators don't fuss over such things...'

Amidst the blurred sound of the Incantation, the Red Moon in the sky seemed to become even brighter and bloodier...

Uh...

Beside these two Sword Cultivators followed Shen Xiuxin; her expression was solemn, and she was secretly smiling bitterly in her heart.

Aaron sighed, but he did not feel it was a pity.

"You are actually a Disciple of the Xuantian Sect?"

Dozens of streaks of escape Light gathered in one place.

Bai Caiwei's expression turned cold.

Her powerful Divine Sense sensed a team of cultivators approaching at high speed... No, it seemed they were fleeing for their lives!

And then followed a series of adventures and fortuitous encounters...

Because she inadvertently leaked information during an investigation, her close friend was hunted down, and Bai Caiwei had to urgently come to Great Gan to rendezvous with her intimate friend and face the catastrophe together.

"No one can stop my steady footsteps, no one!"

Aaron happily collected the Invisible Sword and the classics: "From today on, the orthodoxy of the Shushan Sword Pavilion is with me... Haha..."

Not long after, several streaks of Light flew in from the horizon, and the leader among them was actually a female cultivator at the Golden Core stage.

The Spirit Treasure Invisible Sword trembled slightly, but then immediately had no reaction.

"A good sword, a good sword indeed!"

Well, after all, the teleportation array was two-way; she could go back first to see how the situation was.

"I will do my best..." Lu Lao was, after all, just a creature of the Array Formation and had no feelings of fear: "But even if the Beidou Hall is destroyed... without completing my task, you are still an Outer Sect Disciple and cannot enter the core of the hall to receive the true inheritance!"

"Sure enough, if you stay cautious until the end, you will have everything!"

"This matter... allow me to explain later..."

Invisible Light fell, and within the Ritual Array on the table, crisscrossing mist emerged, transforming into the image of an illusory gate.

Creak!

The gate was pushed open by an invisible force, and then several items fell down.

Especially the four great cultivators who broke into the core of the Blood Sea; except for that Spirit Severing cultivator who barely escaped with their life at the cost of being severely injured in Essence Qi, the other three Nascent Soul Late Stage great cultivators—Immortal, Demon, and Monster—all perished, including the Pavilion Master of the Shushan Sword Pavilion!

But Bai Caiwei did not go in; instead, she came behind the Beidou Hall and saw several ancient and simple teleportation arrays.

When she saw the Light again, the world had already changed!

"Such intelligence... worthy of being a fifth-grade or even higher Immortal Array! It has actually generated an array spirit!"

Diao'ao Sou was astonished.

The Golden Core female cultivator hurriedly bowed, and seeing Bai Caiwei staring at the Dharma Treasure, she couldn't help but speak: "Reporting to Senior... this is the poison of the Blood Sea, which is best at corroding Dharma Treasures. It can only be refined with a cultivator's true fire. The faster, the better. Before it is removed, the Dharma Treasure cannot be stored inside the body, otherwise, the residual poison will be endless..."

In an instant, the world spun!

"Now the road through the Black Demon Sect and the Boundless Desert to the Far West has been blocked by the Boundless Blood Sea... even taking a detour is impossible. Fortunately, the array spirit once said... within the mountain gate, there is still an Ancient Teleportation Array leading to the Far West!"

She seemed to see that day again, the scene of the Boundless Blood Sea submerging Thousand Sword Peak: "There is no longer a Shushan Sword Pavilion... That day the Blood Demon destroyed the Shushan Sword Pavilion, we barely escaped the disaster and were preparing to meet with several martial uncles who were outside..."

"Tai Xuan Dao Ancestor..."

Three Nascent Soul old monsters joined forces, yet they were still chased by the Blood Demon Child until they were in a sorry state, forced into desperate situations several times...

Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she stepped into the Array Formation!

The Ten Great Sects joined forces, a group of Nascent Soul old monsters plus Spirit Severing cultivators, leading a large army to set up an Immortal Array to crusade against the Boundless Blood Sea, but the result was a crushing defeat!

Suddenly, Bai Caiwei's expression changed: "Not good... a Nascent Soul level Blood Demon Child is approaching, let us leave quickly!"

He looked at the remaining items and found they were all Jade Slips.

Those Sword Cultivators entered one by one, and when Bai Caiwei finally stepped into the Array Formation, she saw the boundless blood clouds already pressing down, only to be continuously whittled away by the Supreme Big Dipper Edict Array...

Most of them were already damaged, and only a few could be used.

The Ritual Array was quite crude, and the incantations were the same; they were made up by Aaron at will.

"Spirit of Delusion..."

Alas...

Ever since the cultivator Coalition was miserably defeated, the Shushan Sword Pavilion had become the front line for resisting the invasion of the Blood Sea!

He circulated his cultivation technique, performed the 'Invisible Needle Art' he had comprehended, and sent a strand of Invisible Sword Qi into it.

It had long been sent back to the Spirit Pool, with orders not to poke its head out.

It must be said that after following Aaron for so long, whether it was the Spirit Beast or the Disciple, they had all learned his steady style...

Shen Xiuxin's face was pale...

"It looks like it hasn't been contaminated by the Blood Sea..."

Baiyunzi flew into the high sky, his face suddenly full of joy: "This place is great... it is fitting for my Shushan Sword Pavilion to re-establish the mountain gate!"
