Chapter 1136: Wood System Rule Crystal (Second update, requesting everything)
Looking at the dark green crystal suspended in the eye of the array, Li Zhangsheng did not feel disappointed; analyzing it by the nature of its energy, this was a priceless Wood System Rule Crystal.
As a Rule Crystal, its grade was the same as the precious pearl, both being Lower-Grade World Wonder level; although Li Zhangsheng had no immediate use for it, as long as he advanced to a Double-Character King, he would be able to use this Wood System Rule Crystal, so this could be considered a great harvest.
Given Li Zhangsheng's rate of progress, at the latest in two years, or at the fastest in less than a year, his Mental Power could reach the King Peak, at which point he could attempt to break through to Double-Character King.
The reason he could not be certain mainly depended on the effects of the Top-tier Demon Taming Art, as he did not know how much this top-tier demon taming art could accelerate his cultivation speed.
Li Zhangsheng did not immediately step onto the fifth step; the Forbidden Array on the fourth step alone had already given him a massive headache, and logically speaking, the Forbidden Array on the fifth step would only be stronger.
On the fourth step, Li Zhangsheng began to enter meditation, striving to recover his depleted Mental Power, and also had to replenish the Mental Power stored within the Nine Apertures Dingyuan Pearl.
After half an hour passed, Li Zhangsheng opened his eyes and stepped into the fifth step in one stride.
Amidst a world spinning around, Li Zhangsheng appeared once again in the sea of stars.
This time there were five nodes in total, each node having a different attribute, corresponding to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
"Five Elements Star Forbidden Array!"
Li Zhangsheng's eyes lit up, because the memory of the Baisheng King contained information regarding the Five Elements Star Forbidden Array.
Although he had not studied the Four Symbols Star Forbidden Array as deeply as the first Principal, this information included the principles of the Forbidden Array and methods to break it, which was enough for Li Zhangsheng to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Only when the Five Elements Star Forbidden Array unleashed its power did Li Zhangsheng discover that the might of this Forbidden Array was a bit too strong, somewhat exceeding his expectations.
During the operation of the Five Elements Star Forbidden Array, there were three types of attack methods: one was Five Elements Rotation, where the energy of the five attributes attacked in turns; one was Five Elements Simultaneous Attack, where the energy of the five attributes launched attacks from all directions at the same time; and the last one was Five Elements Annihilation, which utilized the relationship of Five Elements Mutual Generation and restraint, causing the energy of the five attributes to nearly fuse, leading to a great increase in might.
Five Elements Annihilation was also the attack method with the strongest power of this Forbidden Array; fortunately, the interval was very long, and it would only be launched once every quarter of an hour.
At this moment, Li Zhangsheng transformed into a five-colored peacock, from time to time using the Five-Colored Divine Light to neutralize the offensive.
Given that the Demon King level five-colored peacock's speed of neutralizing the five-element energy could not keep up with the attack speed of the Five Elements Star Forbidden Array, Li Zhangsheng still had to rely on his Demon Pets and Strange Treasures to withstand the waves of attacks.
But every time Five Elements Annihilation was launched, it would leave Li Zhangsheng in a flurry, and the Demon Pets would also sustain some injuries.
Even though Li Zhangsheng fed the Demon Pets Alchemical Pills from time to time, and Kailan and the Heaven Heavy Pupil Bird were also constantly casting recovery-type skills, the injuries of the Demon Pets were still constantly accumulating.
According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, after one hour passed, there would definitely be Demon Pets losing their combat ability.
Li Zhangsheng strove to maintain his calm, while releasing the Five-Colored Divine Light, he also tried hard to observe the operation of the Five Elements Star Forbidden Array, and based on the Baisheng King's memory, he calculated the location of the array eye with all his might.
After more than half an hour, many Demon Pets were already covered in wounds, and several of them had even sustained heavy injuries.
Only at this moment did Li Zhangsheng finally figure out the mysteries of the Five Elements Star Forbidden Array, and based on this, he calculated the approximate location of the array eye.
"Above and to the east!"
After determining the location of the array eye, Li Zhangsheng immediately took action, charging toward the target while braving the bombardment of five-element energy.
Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the target location, and after observing slightly, he finally locked onto the location of the array eye.
"Everyone, collective defense!"
Following Li Zhangsheng's order, the Demon Pets one after another cast their most proud defensive skills.
The Chi Dragon roared, directly casting Space Cage; this appeared to be a binding-type skill, but in certain situations, it could also serve as a defensive-type skill.
The Crown Li Fire Luan's Five Phoenix Divine Fire Cover, Kailan's World Tree's Guard, and so on—numerous colorful protective shields, barriers, cages, and light bands protected Li Zhangsheng and the Demon Pets tightly.
Li Zhangsheng did not control other Strange Treasures, but instead focused his entire mind completely on the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords.
The next moment, the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords combined, transforming into a two-colored Sword Dragon, charging toward the location of the array eye.
The Five Elements Star Forbidden Array seemed to be controlled by someone, as a huge five-colored ball of light blocked in front of the Sword Dragon.
In an instant, the dragon and the five-colored ball of light collided.
Boom—
The five-colored ball of light produced a violent explosion, but unfortunately, it did not completely neutralize the might of the Sword Dragon.
The Sword Dragon's might was slightly reduced, but there was no more obstruction in front, and it fiercely pierced into the location of the array eye.
Crack!
Accompanied by the sound of clothing tearing, a huge opening appeared, and the array eye lost its protection, directly exposing itself from the void.
This time, the treasure suppressing the array eye was a box, and it was unknown what was inside.
Without any hesitation, Li Zhangsheng grabbed the box and broke the array eye in passing.
After the Five Elements Star Forbidden Array was broken, Li Zhangsheng appeared on the fifth step once again and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect the Forbidden Array on the fifth step to be already this strong; the following four steps go without saying!"
Between the two choices of continuing and pausing, Li Zhangsheng chose the latter; with his current strength, he would likely be unable to break the next Forbidden Array.
As for whether there would be a life-threatening danger in the Forbidden Array, Li Zhangsheng was not clear, and he did not joke with his own life or the lives of his Demon Pets.
But judging by the fact that the injuries he and his Demon Pets sustained were real, if he could not break the Forbidden Array, he felt there was a high probability he would really die.
Of course, it was also possible he would be teleported out.
"I wonder what is inside the box?"
Looking at the box in his hand, Li Zhangsheng could not help but think to himself, and he opened it impatiently.
What was placed in the box was not a treasure, but a jade-textured book made entirely of Preaching Jade.
Li Zhangsheng's eyes lit up, and he became excited in an instant; he already understood what the jade-textured book was.
This was the third time Li Zhangsheng had obtained a jade-textured book made of Preaching Jade; the first jade-textured book recorded the Nine Heavens Golden Palace Treasure Refining Art, which could allow one to become a Refining Master in a short time; the second recorded the Strange Treasure Burial Technique, and although he had only used it once or twice, it was a super-grade Secret Technique capable of Twisting Qiankun.
Without a doubt, this was another chapter from the Golden Chapter Jade Record.
"Tiangang Chapter!"
Li Zhangsheng unfolded the jade-textured book, and upon discovering that the characters were Golden Seal Script, he could not help but feel even more expectant in his heart.
The Golden Chapter Jade Record was divided into the Heavenly Dipper 36 Chapters and the Earthly Fiend 72 Chapters; the former recorded cultivation methods and secret arts, appearing in the form of Golden Seal Script; the latter were all auxiliary skills, appearing in the form of Silver Seal Script.
"What will it be this time?"
