Chapter 620: Record of the Primordial Seal, Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Array
It seems now that the Heavenly Court cannot be counted on.
The fate of the Three Realms may truly depend on these young people to save it.
The night grew deep; Nezha stood alone on the palace balcony, gazing at the starry sky in a trance.
In the direction of the distant Mo Jie, a blood-red glow was faintly visible.
There were his comrades, his brothers, and the hope of the entire Three Realms.
"Brother Lin Xuan, Zhang Wuji, you must hold on," Nezha prayed silently in his heart, "I will find a way to help you!"
A deep valley was hidden among the mountains on the edge of Mo Jie.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides with only one hidden entrance, it was an excellent place to hide.
Zhang Wuji led the Human Cultivators who had successfully broken through the encirclement to establish a temporary base here.
After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the original force of tens of thousands was now reduced to less than twenty thousand.
Everyone bore wounds, but at least they had preserved their lives.
"Ancestor Taixuan, how are your injuries?" Zhang Wuji asked with concern.
Ancestor Taixuan waved his hand; although his face was pale, his spirit was still quite good.
"This old man won't die," he said, "but the losses of the other sects are somewhat severe."
It was indeed as he said; the major sects had all paid a heavy price during the breakout.
The Shushan Sect lost half of its disciples, and the Sect Leader of the Qingcheng Sect was even more severely wounded.
Although the Danding Sect did not lose many personnel, almost all of their precious alchemy materials were lost.
"Now is not the time to dwell on losses," Ancestor Jianchi said in a deep voice, "we must find a way to counterattack."
"Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan are still deep in Mo Jie, and it is unknown if Nezha can successfully request reinforcements."
Zhang Wuji nodded; he was equally anxious in his heart.
But with their current strength, wanting to kill their way back into Mo Jie to rescue Lin Xuan was no different from throwing an egg against a rock.
"Seniors, let us first organize our existing forces," Zhang Wuji proposed, "and then formulate a plan for the next step."
The Elders of the major sects began to count their personnel and supplies one after another.
Elder Xuanzhen of the Kun Lun Sect suddenly discovered a forgotten parcel while organizing the sect's classics.
"Eh? What is this?" Elder Xuanzhen opened the parcel in confusion.
Inside was an ancient book covered in dust, with a few archaic characters written on the cover—"Record of the Primordial Seal".
"Record of the Primordial Seal?" Elder Xuanzhen carefully identified the characters on the cover, "This seems to be a long-lost classic of our sect."
He carefully opened the ancient book and found that the content recorded within shocked him beyond measure.
"This... how is this possible?" Elder Xuanzhen cried out involuntarily.
His exclamation drew the attention of others.
Zhang Wuji hurried over.
"Elder Xuanzhen, what happened?"
Elder Xuanzhen said with trembling hands, pointing at the ancient book: "Alliance Leader Wuji, you must come and see this!"
Zhang Wuji took the ancient book and began to read it carefully.
As his reading deepened, his expression became increasingly shocked.
"Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Array?" Zhang Wuji read out a term from the book.
Upon hearing this name, Ancestor Taixuan suddenly raised his head.
"Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Array!" he exclaimed, "This is a legend from the Primordial era!"
The other Elders also gathered around one after another.
Ancestor Jianchi was so excited that his whole body trembled.
"I remember now!" he said, "In the memories I have recovered, there truly is such an array!"
Zhang Wuji continued to flip through the ancient book, becoming more excited the more he read.
The book detailed the origin and power of the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Array.
During the Primordial War, the gods, seeing that they could not completely eliminate Nitian Mozun, joined forces to create this ultimate sealing array.
If the nine Primordial Divine Stones could be gathered, this array could be re-established.
Moreover, this seal would be even more powerful than the original, sufficient to suppress Nitian Mozun forever!
"Nine Primordial Divine Stones..." Zhang Wuji read the content in the book, "Three in the Heavenly Realm, three in the Human Realm, three in Mo Jie..."
The ancient book not only described the number of divine stones but also recorded their characteristics and possible hiding places in detail.
The three divine stones of the Heavenly Realm were: Heaven Origin Stone, Sun-Moon Stone, and Star Stone.
The Heaven Origin Stone contained the power of the Heavenly Dao and was located in the core area of the Heavenly Court.
The Sun-Moon Stone possessed the radiance of the sun and moon and was hidden between Taiyang Gong and Yueliang Gong.
The Star Stone flickered with the light of ten thousand stars and slept in the depths of Xingxiu Hai.
The three divine stones of the Human Realm were: Mountain-River Stone, Life Stone, and Lun Hui Stone.
The Mountain-River Stone carried the weight of the earth and was buried in the deepest part of Kunlun Shan.
The Life Stone contained the vitality of all things and was hidden in the Penglaixian Dao, the source of life.
The Lun Hui Stone controlled the cycle of life and death and was hidden at the bottom of the Shibaceng Diyu in Difu.
The three divine stones of Mo Jie were the most mysterious: Hun Dun Stone, Void Stone, and Annihilation Stone.
The Hun Dun Stone possessed the power to create the world and slumbered in the center of Hunlun Hai.
The Void Stone could annihilate all existence and was sealed at the lowest level of Xuwu zhi Yuan.
The Annihilation Stone mastered the power of ending and guarded the core of Yanmie zhi Di.
"Every piece of divine stone contains the primordial power of the universe," Zhang Wuji continued reading, "and is simultaneously protected by powerful guardians."
The ancient text specifically mentions that these guardians are all Shenshou or mechanisms left behind from the primordial era.
To obtain a divine stone, one must pass their trials or defeat them.
Furthermore, the trial for each divine stone is different, requiring different wisdom and strength.
"This is truly our chance to defeat the Nitian Mozun!" Taixuan Laozu said excitedly.
"If we can collect all nine divine stones and set up the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Great Array, it is indeed possible to reseal the Mozun!"
Jianchi Laozu also nodded in agreement.
"And this time, the Seal will be even more powerful; the Mozun will never be able to break free again!"
However, the Danding Zong Zongzhu raised a concern.
"But the difficulty of collecting the divine stones is immense," he said, "each one has a powerful guardian, and our current strength..."
Zhang Wuji pondered for a moment, the flames of hope reigniting in his eyes.
"It is indeed very difficult, but this is our only chance," he said firmly, "and we are not fighting alone."
"Lin Xuan is in the Mo Jie, and Nezha is in the Heavenly Court; if the three parties cooperate, the possibility of success will be much greater."
Elder Xuanzhen nodded in approval.
"Alliance Leader Wuji is right," he said, "we should immediately convey this news to Lin Xuan and Nezha."
"Let them also know the secret of the Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Great Array."
Zhang Wuji immediately made a decision.
"Pass down the order to select the most elite messengers," he commanded, "one group to head to the Mo Jie to find Lin Xuan, and one group to head to the Heavenly Court to contact Nezha."
"Ensure the contents of the 'Primordial Seal Record' are conveyed to them in their entirety!"
Taixuan Laozu volunteered.
"I am willing to go to the Heavenly Court myself," he said, "I know that kid Nezha, it will be easier to gain his trust."
Jianchi Laozu also stepped forward.
