Chapter 210: Extreme Escape

This room was indeed big enough.

A full three zhang wide and three zhang long!

In the middle were several tables and a huge cabinet.

The ceiling of the room was inlaid with 108 precious night-luminescent pearls, like stars.

One could imagine how bright these pearls would be at night.

Sitting cross-legged on the floor, He Pingsheng's spiritual sense surged out, enveloping the countless rooms across all nine levels.

Cultivators were still boarding the ship; some rooms were empty, while others were already filled with arrays.

He Pingsheng saw that most people's rooms were one zhang wide and one zhang long, only his room was three zhang in circumference.

It seemed the white-browed cultivator hadn't lied; this really was the largest room.

He Pingsheng wanted to find Qiao Huizhu's location, but unfortunately, he couldn't find her. On this ship, light membranes of arrays emerged one after another in every room; in less than half a stick of incense, almost all the rooms became invisible.

He Pingsheng also took out an array disk to conceal his room.

A defensive array!

A Spirit-Prohibiting Array!

Plus an early-warning array.

These were only to prevent prying from other Foundation Establishment disciples; they would likely not stop the white-browed cultivator.

Although He Pingsheng didn't know this guy's cultivation level, he could imagine that he was either at the peak of the Golden Core Stage or had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

Night fell!

Above He Pingsheng's head, those 108 night-luminescent pearls also began to emit a faint glow.

He Pingsheng didn't care if these pearls had prying functions, because it didn't matter to him; he wasn't planning on doing anything anyway.

He was just lying down to rest like a normal person.

*Boom, boom, boom... *

At a certain moment, the big ship shook violently.

The sound on the ship reached every room.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists, I am Jin Lan!" A familiar voice suddenly came over, giving He Pingsheng a start.

*Holy crap... *

Jin Lan, that woman from the Coral Chamber of Commerce?

Why did this woman run onto this big ship again?

He heard Jin Lan continue, "Our flying boat has taken off and is heading to Mount Tianqiang in Shangdang Commandery. This voyage will take approximately two days; we will arrive at Mount Tianqiang in two days!"

"This voyage is one-way. After the treasure hunt at Mount Tianqiang is over, you will need to return on your own!"

He Pingsheng listened to the voice coming through, unable to believe his ears, because before, Jin Lan had always given him a very seductive impression, both in speech and action. But listening to her voice today, it was standard, serious, and full of tension.

If you hadn't seen her in person, you would think this was a pure jade maiden.

However, Jin Lan was not "jade."

Jin Lan continued her introduction.

After finishing the voyage and route, she began introducing information about Mount Tianqiang.

According to her, Mount Tianqiang was a huge mountain range, with countless peaks and huge spiritual veins extending through the countless mountains. And on this Mount Tianqiang, there was a huge array set up by someone unknown.

This array covered the entire Mount Tianqiang.

Foundation Establishment cultivators could enter it to search for treasures and comprehend spear intent.

Before, He Pingsheng had heard Xuanyuan Changgeng say that there were many second-tier heavenly treasures in Mount Tianqiang, as well as third-tier ones.

Now, according to Jin Lan, there were not only third-tier ones inside, but someone had even discovered fourth-tier spiritual plants.

Moreover, this Mount Tianqiang had another benefit: the great array could automatically identify the demonic beasts within.

Once a demonic beast's cultivation reached the Golden Core Stage, it would be slaughtered by this great array.

Foundation Establishment cultivators didn't need to worry about there being Golden Core demonic beasts inside.

Likewise!

Disciples at the Golden Core Stage and above could not enter, otherwise, they would be identified by this great array and slaughtered as demonic beasts.

Even if you hid your cultivation, it wouldn't work.

"So there is one very important thing to tell everyone!" Jin Lan said very solemnly. "Hold onto your Life-Death Plates... if you can't help but break through at a critical moment, remember, you must not break through to the Golden Core Stage inside!"

"Please teleport out!"

"Otherwise, you will be slaughtered by this great array!"

He Pingsheng understood!

He picked up a white jade plate.

This thing was exchanged for the black boarding token when he boarded the ship earlier; it was called a Life-Death Plate.

What did "Life-Death Plate" mean?

It was exactly the same as the one used in the Cui Ping Mountain Mystic Realm before; once crushed, you could teleport out at any time.

And this time, many of the cultivators entering Mount Tianqiang were at the twelfth layer of Foundation Establishment.

Cultivators at the twelfth layer of Foundation Establishment didn't only break through after swallowing a 【Chaoyuan Pill】!

That wasn't the case!

Sometimes, a sudden epiphany at a life-or-death moment, or during an extreme fight, could lead to a sudden breakthrough.

If you encounter such a situation, don't hesitate, teleport out directly.

Otherwise, you will be slaughtered by the great array!

Two days later, in the early morning, the big ship finally arrived at Mount Tianqiang and landed at the entrance of the Mount Tianqiang array.

Led by the white-browed cultivator, everyone walked off the big ship.

They arrived at the square at the entrance of Mount Tianqiang.

He Pingsheng looked left and right; this square was huge, a thousand zhang in circumference.

Besides the cultivators from Dingxiang Commandery, there were many others from other commanderies.

But the people from other commanderies weren't that numerous; the most were three hundred, the least only a hundred.

It was truly rare to see four thousand people come at once like Dingxiang Commandery.

He Pingsheng's pupils shrank slightly; what did this mean?

It meant that this test in Dingxiang Commandery was added temporarily, not unified across all major commanderies. It meant they knew about the situation in Dingxiang Commandery, which is why they rushed over to test as soon as possible.

How did they know?

He Pingsheng's heart shook violently: *Although I escaped this time, if they use the same method next time, wouldn't they still be able to find Wang Dun and me? *

*No... *

*After this Mount Tianqiang trip ends, I must find an excuse to leave the Qi Kingdom. *

*Go somewhere outside the Qi Kingdom. *

The sun slowly rose, and the entrance to the Mount Tianqiang array opened.

An elder guarding the great array shouted, "Please enter the array according to the order of the commanderies. Dingxiang Commandery has the most people this time, Dingxiang Commandery enters first!"

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... *

The four thousand-plus people from Dingxiang Commandery headed toward the array entrance one by one.

"Go..." The white-browed cultivator waved his hand.

Everyone scrambled to rush inside.

He Pingsheng was accustomed to not being the first to stick his neck out; he shrank his body and didn't go in immediately, but stopped at the entrance to observe.

Just at this moment, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from the white-browed cultivator behind him: "What?"

"Wang Dun escaped?"

*Swish... *

He Pingsheng turned his head sharply to look.

He saw a female cultivator in red reporting something to the white-browed cultivator.

"He Kunlun... come here quickly, don't go in..." The white-browed cultivator waved his hand, and a massive pressure bore down on He Pingsheng.

But a golden light suddenly erupted from under He Pingsheng's feet, and *whoosh*, he dove into the great array. ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
