Chapter 56: The Power of Arrays! The Might of Hunyuan Daluo!

Although Luo Fu had once been just an ordinary disciple of the Jie Sect, he naturally knew where Biyou Palace was located.

As an ordinary disciple in the past, Luo Fu could never have approached Biyou Palace, let alone entered it.

But now, as the fifth direct disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu, he was greeted by a young page upon arriving at Biyou Palace.

Clearly, Tongtian Jiaozhu had already instructed the page about the arrival of his direct disciple.

"So, you're curious about me?" Luo Fu smiled at the page beside him as they walked through Biyou Palace.

The page had been watching him with cautious, curious eyes all along the way.

Yes.

For many Jie Sect disciples, they were indeed very curious about Luo Fu, this direct disciple—after all, it had been countless years since Tongtian Jiaozhu last took on a direct disciple after his first four.

Even if some Jie Sect disciples showed exceptional talent, Tongtian Jiaozhu never did so; at most, he merely paid them more attention.

Taking them as direct disciples? That had never happened before.

But Luo Fu's arrival shattered this centuries-long precedent.

A human had become Tongtian Jiaozhu's new direct disciple—and rumors said this human had recently broken through from Xuan Xian to Jin Xian, not an ordinary breakthrough, but from an ordinary Xuan Xian to Jin Xian.

Not only was this breakthrough unprecedented, but even the fact that he had become a Jin Xian placed him among the upper ranks among the disciples of the sages on Mount Kunlun.

After all, some of the sages' direct disciples were only at this level.

Given all these miraculous rumors, it was no wonder the page of Tongtian was so curious about Luo Fu.

"N-no… not at all…" The page turned pale and quickly shook his head.

As Tongtian's page—or an ordinary Jie Sect disciple—he need not fear.

But those disciples whom Tongtian valued? He could not compare to them.

After all, he was merely a page casually enlightened by Tongtian Jiaozhu; finding a replacement would be too easy.

Thus, he dared not be too bold around high-ranking Jie Sect disciples, let alone this one before him—who was Tongtian Jiaozhu's direct disciple.

His status was second only to Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Precisely because of this, the moment Luo Fu spoke, the page was instantly frozen in fear.

"Haha, don't be afraid," Luo Fu laughed. "Do I look that frightening? If I were in your place, and a Jie Sect disciple suddenly became a direct disciple, I'd be curious too."

"Yes." The page exhaled in relief—this direct disciple of Master didn't seem angry.

Just now, the page had feared this direct disciple might be a capricious powerhouse who would punish him—but from his reaction, this Master's disciple was quite approachable.

"Young Master, Master is inside. I won't enter," the page said, standing outside a palace.

It was the main hall of Biyou Palace. Luo Fu gazed at the dark hall before him and sensed the terrifying power within.

But as Tongtian Jiaozhu's sacred domain, Luo Fu had no reason to fear danger here.

"Alright, Xiao Qing, thank you," Luo Fu patted the page's small head and smiled.

Under the page's awestruck gaze, Luo Fu slowly stepped into the great hall.

Inside the hall, rows of towering pillars stood before Luo Fu, radiating astonishing spiritual light—these were treasures of Xiantian Lingbao grade.

And these were merely the pillars supporting the hall; the ground beneath Luo Fu's feet was paved with special spiritual treasure ore.

The entire main hall of Biyou Palace was filled with countless beams of spiritual light, and Luo Fu could even sense faint, terrifying power emanating from the palace—power capable of killing him effortlessly.

Array. The thought surfaced in Luo Fu's mind.

Among the Three Pure Ones, each excelled in a vastly different field.

Laozi excelled in elixir crafting—any rare treasures that fell into his hands could be refined into elixirs with astonishing effects.

Master Yuanshi excelled in artifact crafting—the magic treasures he forged were far superior to those made by other sages.

The reason Chan Sect disciples later possessed so many magic treasures and loved to crush opponents with them was no accident.

After all, their Master Yuanshi Tianzun was a sage who excelled in artifact crafting.

Thus, the Chan Sect possessed nearly the most magic treasures.

The final one, Tongtian Jiaozhu, excelled most in arrays—he innovated countless arrays, forming other terrifying great arrays.

In the later Divine War, the Nine Curved Yellow River Array of the Three Xiao sisters stripped the top three flowers from the Twelve Golden Immortals; the Three Xiao, with only three people, held off the Twelve Golden Immortals—a feat no other powerhouse could achieve.

But the Three Xiao succeeded—not only because of their magic treasures, but also because of the array they wielded: the Nine Curved Yellow River Array. Clearly, their array had been passed down by Tongtian Jiaozhu.

The Wan Xianzhen, the Zhu Xian Sword—each array was more fearsome than the last.

Compared to them, the Nine Curved Yellow River Array was milder—but even so, its ability to strip the top three flowers from the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect proved its ferocity.

Of course, in this era, Luo Fu did not know whether Tongtian Jiaozhu had already created such arrays, but clearly, arrays were among his most mastered domains.

With the Four Zhu Xian Swords in hand, it was as if the pinnacle array of the Primordial World lay before Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Not only did the Zhu Xian Array shine brilliantly during the future Era of Kalpa Tribulation, but even in the Dao-Mo era, it had shaken the entire Primordial World.

Back then, the Demon Patriarch Luo Hou had used the array formed by the Four Zhu Xian Swords to confront Ancestor Hongjun.

At that time, Ancestor Hongjun had been accompanied by three other Zhun Sheng masters—Yang Mei, Qian Kun, and others—to oppose Luo Hou.

Because the Zhu Xian Array could not be broken unless four sages united.

Even though Hongjun and his allies were only Zhun Sheng at the time, breaking the Zhu Xian Array alone was nearly impossible.

Naturally, in this world today, Luo Fu also knew of two other immensely powerful arrays.

One was the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array of the Yao Clan—a powerful technique derived by Di Jun from the Hetu Luoshu, which, when combined with the Yao Clan's power, allowed Di Jun and others to briefly attain Hunyuan Daluo power.

The other was the Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array, awakened by the Wu Clan, which could merge the Twelve Ancestral Wu to form the body of Pangu, likewise unleashing Hunyuan Daluo power.
