Chapter 352 - 351: This Time, I’ll Leave You With No Escape
"The Eight-direction Demon Sealing Array?"
Upon hearing the name, Qin Yang was overjoyed!
’This is it!’
The Beast God had been under a seal for five hundred years.
The source of its Divine Sense was already damaged and had not yet fully recovered!
Once the Eight-direction Demon Sealing Array was activated, sealing the Beast God for another few hundred or even a thousand years would surely be enough to completely obliterate its Divine Soul.
He wouldn’t even have to lift a finger; time alone would be enough to wear it down!
"Elder Wushuang, is there an Array Map left for this great Array?"
Qin Yang asked hurriedly, pointing at the Turtle Shell Rubbing on the table. "Even if it’s not the original, a Rubbing with the information on it would be fine."
Qin Yang figured that as long as the content was there, he could memorize it all in minutes with the heaven-defying memory of the Enlightenment Space.
Replicating it perfectly afterward would be no difficult task.
"Hmm... There should be. When I was organizing ancient texts for the Alliance, I recall personally putting it away safely."
Seeing Qin Yang’s excitement, Liu Wushuang didn’t dare to be slow, but then he seemed to remember something and changed his tune. "I have already left the Venerable Alliance, so it might be inconvenient for me to go back and get it."
The moment he finished speaking, Lin Mofeng, who was standing to the side, heard this and immediately chimed in:
"It’s alright, Elder Wushuang. This can be handled by my Lin Family."
"Now that Meng Tianxuan is dead, the Venerable Alliance may have fallen apart, but my Lin Family’s ancestor is still one of the top experts in the Alliance and wields supreme authority. As long as he makes a move, getting the Rubbing of the Eight-direction Demon Sealing Array will be a simple matter."
"Ask your family’s ancestor to make a move?"
Seeing that things were settled, Qin Yang breathed a sigh of relief. "I won’t let you make this trip for nothing. I will arrange some Elixir Pills as a reward for the Lin Family."
"You’re too kind, Young Master. It is my duty to serve the Heaven-Blasting Gang."
Lin Mofeng stood up, clasped his fists, and nodded solemnly at Qin Yang. "I will leave for the Imperial Capital today. I can bring it back in less than three days at the fastest!"
...
...
「A moment later.」
Lin Mofeng and Liu Wushuang departed.
Each went to carry out Qin Yang’s instructions.
Fallen petals drifted through the courtyard as the continuous shower subsided. Water dripped from the rockery, and the sky was a hazy gray.
SIGH.
Qin Yang went into the courtyard alone, examining the protective Array he had set up earlier.
After arranging all that, he couldn’t neglect his own home.
It was time to reinforce it.
As he looked out, the world appeared incredibly transparent in his eyes.
With this newfound clarity came the sight of various flaws in the great Array, flaws he hadn’t noticed before.
But now that he had stepped into the Celestial Venerable Realm, Qin Yang’s perspective had broadened, and his skill in Arrays was far beyond what it used to be, having reached a higher Realm.
Upon closer inspection, the protective Array was riddled with flaws. It was already at its limit just holding back an Earth Venerable Realm expert, let alone withstanding an attack from someone in the Celestial Venerable Realm!
"Time to upgrade this Array."
Qin Yang observed the surrounding Array, raising a finger to sketch with Star Force. He began to walk lightly around the Array, his feet tracing the Seven-Star Step.
The next moment.
The seven stars of the Big Dipper brightened in the night sky, answering his call.
Beams of starlight descended,
and the Big Dipper Array activated. Every step Qin Yang took seemed to connect heaven and earth as he inscribed complex writings into the Array.
BOOM!
A vast Star Curtain rose majestically.
Then, it vanished without a trace.
"Not bad, not bad."
Qin Yang smoothed the hem of his clothes with his right hand. Looking at the newly arranged Array, the worry in his heart finally subsided.
As long as this Array was in place, it could hold out for a short while even if the Beast God itself arrived, giving him enough time to rush back and save the day.
...
...
「Three days later.」
Lin Mofeng returned from the Imperial Capital, coming back to the residential community as promised.
And he brought good news.
"Young Master, this is the Rubbing of the Eight-direction Demon Sealing Array."
In the living room, he held a Bone Inscription Rubbing, similar to the one for the Sealing God Array, and placed it gently on the table. "Please, take a look."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Qin Yang took the Rubbing and admired it, unable to put it down.
But after a few cursory glances,
his brow suddenly furrowed. He immediately noticed something was wrong.
’There’s a problem...’
This Array was different from what he had expected. Not only were the lines disconnected, but some corners were also missing. It wasn’t at all as complete as the Sealing God Array.
Some of the Array lines had even been filled in post-creation.
They were clearly clumsy repairs made by a successor, but unfortunately, their skill was so poor that the repairs only made it worse.
The overall structure was fine, but the details were hard to look at.
"Tsk, why is it still damaged?"
Seeing this, Qin Yang frowned at Lin Mofeng and asked directly, "Was it damaged before? Why are there so many signs of repair?"
As soon as he spoke, Lin Mofeng fell silent, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
’He could even tell?’
The Lin Family ancestor had mentioned it when he handed it over.
Seeing Qin Yang in such a good mood, he had planned to let him admire it for a while before revealing the flaw.
He never expected Qin Yang to spot what was wrong with a single glance!
’This level of skill in Arrays... is truly beyond my expectations.’
"Indeed, Young Master. Your eyes are as sharp as a torch."
Suppressing his shock, Lin Mofeng said apologetically, "When the Lin Family ancestor entrusted it to me, he did give me a solemn warning that this Array had indeed been repaired from a damaged state."
"Repaired?"
"Yes..."
Lin Mofeng nodded lightly and sighed helplessly. He looked at the damaged Rubbing with some difficulty and said, "This Array was passed down from five hundred years ago. It was damaged during the recording process. Although the Venerable Alliance tried to repair it, their efforts were fruitless."
He paused, then added, "If you’re not satisfied, Young Master, I can find another Array Master to repair it for you."
"It’s fine. There’s no need."
After hearing the explanation, Qin Yang waved his hand, cutting him off before he could finish. Showing his understanding, he said, "It’s not a major issue. It’s just a matter of repairs. I can handle the rest. For now, tell me about this Array’s purpose."
"Yes, Young Master."
Lin Mofeng nodded and began to relay the Lin Family ancestor’s advice.
The so-called Eight-direction Demon Sealing Array.
It only requires eight Celestial Venerable Realm experts for the Array Formation to seal off a small, independent world. Within this Domain, it can seal and restrict those at the Celestial Venerable Realm and even higher Realms.
Furthermore, it has a special effect against the Beast God’s Blood Dao Laws!
At this point, Lin Mofeng paused, then remembered something else and continued:
"Young Master, actually, five hundred years ago, there was only one senior in the Venerable Alliance who was at the Celestial Venerable Realm. All the others were Earth Venerable Realm experts.
However, that Celestial Venerable was a heaven-sent genius who comprehended a Secret Technique called ’Ascension’! He forcibly raised everyone to the Celestial Venerable Realm to cast the Array."
As his voice fell,
"Oh? There was such a thing?"
Qin Yang was taken aback. "What was the price? There must be a price for forcibly raising one’s Realm, right?"
"There was..."
Hearing this, Lin Mofeng’s tone became regretful. "You are right, Young Master. The price was too great—a massive reduction in their lifespan. That’s what led to the fall of more than half of our Human Race’s Venerables."
"Is that so..."
Listening, Qin Yang studied the inscriptions, his eyes revealing his surprise.
’To complete the Array at such a terrible cost.’
’It just goes to show how powerful the Eight-direction Demon Sealing Array is!’
’As long as I can perfect this Array...’
’...I will definitely be able to seal the Beast God within it in the future!’
