Chapter 198: Divine Sense into Thousands

~11 min read 2,028 words

"Senior, it is fine for me to cultivate here, but what about the two people trapped in the array? I am afraid they might stumble their way here!"

His expression was somewhat hesitant. Regarding Wu Gang and Xue Qianyang, he always felt a sense of wariness. Both of them possessed no weak supernatural abilities, especially Xue Qianyang. Having exchanged blows with her only once, Zhang Nuo discovered that this woman was not only calculating but also ruthless in her strikes. If this Cave Abode were also discovered by them, things would truly become difficult to handle.

"Sigh! I am also somewhat confused by the great array outside the Cave Abode. I believe Zhong Yan only figured out the changes in this array after long-term observation! I think those two juniors will not easily find this place!"

With a soft sigh, Chunyangzi had some research into cultivation, but he only understood the basics of the way of arrays! After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of something. His figure floated through the air like a ghost as he headed toward a Stone Chamber.

Zhang Nuo did not know what he wanted to do, so he had to follow closely behind him, fearing that something might happen to him. Chunyangzi was his greatest treasure right now! Even if he lost everything else, he could not lose this Remnant Soul!

Before long, the two arrived at a Stone Chamber. It was filled with things related to the way of arrays, and many array flags and Array Disks were scattered together.

Chunyangzi stood within the Stone Chamber, his Divine Sense fully unleashed to investigate the entire room. After about half an incense stick of time, he swayed his body, gave a bitter smile with an unsightly expression, and said:

"The power of a Remnant Soul is indeed not enough! The strength of my Divine Sense is much worse than my original body. I will rest for a while; you search for things regarding the great array outside the Cave Abode yourself!"

Silently returning to the main hall of the Cave Abode, Chunyangzi sat on the seat of the cultivator that had previously turned into powder, his eyes slightly lowered as he began to recover his energy.

Only then did Zhang Nuo understand that Chunyangzi had been searching for something all along. He was simply an idiot when it came to the way of arrays; even if the layout of the array outside were placed in front of him, he might not necessarily recognize it.

Afterward, picking up a Jade Slip and sinking his Divine Sense into it, Zhang Nuo carefully savored the contents. Although he could not understand much of it, the complex process of setting up the array made him realize that the way of arrays was broad and profound.

At this very moment, Wu Gang and Xue Qianyang were still trapped in the Stone Array. The two were circling back and forth inside the great array, unable to find Zhang Nuo and unable to find a way out.

"Fellow Daoist Xue! We won't be trapped to death in this great array, will we?"

Wu Gang looked up at the sky, his body leaning against a strange rock, playing with the Black Magic Blade in his hand, his face filled with worry.

"That brat Zhang Nuo is no better off than us! The mystery of the array here is something I have never seen in my life!"

Recalling Zhang Nuo's strike at the time, Xue Qianyang still felt resentment in her heart. Although it did not injure her internal organs, the place where she had been struck was still faintly aching!

"I don't want to kill Zhang Nuo anymore now. As long as I can walk out of this great array, I will be satisfied!"

Looking at Xue Qianyang's slightly angry expression, Wu Gang said indifferently. He knew that this woman resented Zhang Nuo, but in the current situation, walking out of the great array was more important than killing Zhang Nuo. Even if they could kill Zhang Nuo, so what? If they could not get out of the great array, they would end up trapped to death inside anyway.

The two were silent for a moment. Xue Qianyang slightly raised her palm, and a Palm Thunder appeared in her jade hand. She suddenly waved her hand, and the Palm Thunder tore through the air, smashing a nearby strange rock with a loud boom!

"What are you doing?"

Wu Gang was startled and asked with a puzzled face. Even if these strange rocks were destroyed, it would be of no use; they would still get lost walking among them.

"I see that the strangeness of this array lies in these stones. Why don't we destroy the strange rocks along the way and see what the effect is?"

When sick, one seeks any doctor; this was the only way. Although Wu Gang did not agree in his heart, facing this woman Xue Qianyang, he had no choice but to swallow his thoughts.

Xue Qianyang was famous among the Five Great Demon Mountains for being even more ruthless than the average man. Sometimes she would even use various means to torture people, leaving them unable to live and unable to die!

It is rumored that when she was at Wushuang Sacred Demon Mountain, a demon cultivator peeked at her bathing. After she discovered him, she tortured that demon cultivator for three days and three nights before he finally breathed his last in unwillingness.

Whenever this matter was mentioned, the cultivators of the Five Great Demon Mountains would change color! Although Wu Gang was the biological son of Wu Xu, he did not dare to defy Xue Qianyang's opinion too much!

Immediately, the two took turns launching attacks, smashing the strange rocks in front of them, and then walking forward over the crushed stones. However, after they passed, before long, the fog would roll in, and the strange rocks would recombine, leaving not a trace of damage.

One day later, when Chunyangzi walked into the Stone Chamber again, he saw Zhang Nuo holding a Jade Slip in his hand, eyes closed, sinking his Divine Sense into it.

"How is it?"

Hearing Chunyangzi's voice, Zhang Nuo withdrew his Divine Sense from the Jade Slip and shook his head helplessly.

"Brat, I will show you a unique skill! Divine Sense into Thousands!"

His eyes lit up. Zhang Nuo had long heard of this technique, which involved splitting the Divine Sense into thousands of parts, each capable of doing independent things. However, at his current realm, it was impossible to achieve; it required at least the existence of the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Will doing this cause damage to your Remnant Soul, Senior?"

Although Zhang Nuo really wanted to see this technique, he was unwilling if it would hurt Chunyangzi because of it. It was not that he truly cared about Chunyangzi, but rather that Chunyangzi was still of great use to him right now.

"So you still have a conscience, brat! Rest assured, I will only perform it once, it won't cause any major issues!"

Glancing sideways at Zhang Nuo, Chunyangzi wore a faint smile, and then he closed his eyes. His Divine Sense was released. Zhang Nuo also closed his eyes at this time, his Divine Sense constantly sensing Chunyangzi's Divine Sense.

At first, Chunyangzi's Divine Sense spread out aimlessly. Once the Divine Sense covered the entire Stone Chamber, he wore a solemn expression and let out a cold snort. Suddenly, the Divine Sense began to split, turning into countless small entities that landed on the Jade Slips and artifacts within the Stone Chamber.

After a short moment, these Divine Senses gathered together once more and were retracted by Chunyangzi. Opening his eyes, his face was flushed, and his phantom-like body was nearly blurred.

"Senior!"

Zhang Nuo stepped forward to support Chunyangzi, but he saw him wave his hand slightly. His figure drifted straight toward an Array Disk, and he reached out to pick it up, a trace of joy appearing on his face.

"This is it!"

Several incantations were pointed out from his fingertips and merged into the Array Disk. A sheet of light glowed from within, and a halo appeared on the surface of the Array Disk, with several sparkling lights flickering continuously on its surface.

"It seems they have not walked out of the Stone Array!"

With just a glance, Chunyangzi knew the situation inside the great array. Zhang Nuo also walked up close, but he could not understand what the display on the Array Disk meant.

"With this thing, perhaps I can send them out!"

Lowering his head and pondering for a moment, Chunyangzi said this.

"Can't we let them be buried in the great array?"

"That is not very likely. This Stone Array at most confuses the mind and traps them inside; it does not possess the ability to attack!"

Shaking his head slightly, Chunyangzi brushed his palm over the Array Disk. After a flash of light, the figures of Wu Gang and Xue Qianyang appeared on the Array Disk.

The two were seen fully driving their Magic Treasures, destroying one strange rock after another.

"You two little fellows, consider yourselves lucky!"

Sneering at the Array Disk, Chunyangzi then cast several more incantations, which merged into the Array Disk, and a halo immediately appeared on its surface.

Somewhere in the Stone Array outside the Cave Abode, Wu Gang and Xue Qianyang were still constantly smashing strange rocks. Just at this moment, most of the fog around them dissipated, and visibility suddenly increased significantly.

When the two felt the difference, they saw a small path revealed a hundred feet ahead, extending forward, not knowing where it led.

"What is going on?"

Wu Gang's expression froze; he did not believe that just by destroying a few strange rocks, one could break this array.

"I don't know! Let's go over and take a look!"

Xue Qianyang was bold and meticulous. Flipping her palm, a Palm Thunder appeared in her hand and was pushed slightly forward. The Palm Thunder moved slowly forward, and the two followed behind it as they proceeded.

After walking for about half a day, ahead was the entrance to the valley!

"We are out!"

Wu Gang shouted excitedly and flashed out of the valley, while Xue Qianyang lowered her head in thought, feeling as if someone had deliberately arranged for them to be able to leave the valley.

No matter what method they used before, they could not escape the Stone Array, yet the path before them led straight to the valley entrance; there must be something fishy about this!

"I say, Fellow Daoist Xue, you aren't still attached to this place, are you!"

In the distance, Wu Gang stood upon his Flying Magic Tool, glanced at Xue Qianyang, and said with great disdain.

"Naturally not! I just feel that something is not quite right! We searched bitterly for a way out before, but to no avail! Now that a path has appeared directly, don't you find it somewhat suspicious?"

"I can't think that much; since we are out now, I, Wu, have no intention of going back. I'm leaving first! I believe my father must be waiting anxiously!"

Seeing that Xue Qianyang was hesitant to set off, Wu Gang did not bother with her, steered his Flying Magic Tool, and rushed toward the direction of the Five Great Demon Mountains.

"Fool!"

After cursing in a low voice, Xue Qianyang had no choice but to steer her Flying Magic Tool and fly away! With her strength alone, she had no way to deal with the Stone Array.

Inside the Stone Chamber, Zhang Nuo looked at the scene on the Array Disk and a cold sneer appeared on his face; now that Wu Gang and Xue Qianyang had both left the great array, he could finally cultivate here in peace!

"It would be best to repair the Illusion Array here; only then will the entire valley not be discovered by other cultivators!"

Afterward, he set the Array Disk aside, and Chunyangzi fell into deep thought once again.
