Chapter 376 - 232: Wandering Dragon God
Lu Yuliang looked up and saw Yang Jing’s robes whipping fiercely in the wind.
The Red Yin Death Demon, an enemy they had considered absolutely unbeatable, was defeated and trapped in the blink of an eye.
"Is this the world-transcending talent the Governor so often boasts about?" he muttered.
Yang Jing withdrew his Magical Power, pulling the Red Yin Death Demon into his Inner World. There, the True Martial Demon Vibration Power affecting the demon was even more potent, rendering it almost completely immobile.
Once that was done, he made a casual gesture and once again placed the Golden Crow Pure Yang Mirror high in the sky to stand guard against Celestial Demons.
「Over the next three days, under the influence of the Qi-guiding Dragon-shaking Array, the several Spirit Veins within the Nine Nether Profound Separation World Creation Array were all gathered into a narrow region.」
Because the Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Veins had significantly weakened, the process was completed much faster than anticipated.
A new Seven Luminaries Demon-Slaying Array was set up among the Spirit Veins as quickly as possible.
Having set up this Array many times before, the Array Masters were much more efficient.
With the protection of this Array, everyone immediately breathed a huge sigh of relief. During this period, Celestial Demons had frequently come to harass them. Even with Yang Jing’s protection, several people were injured.
If the Lesser Yang Exorcism Talismans they wore hadn’t blocked the attacks for a crucial moment, they would have been silently possessed by the Celestial Demons.
Fortunately, the Demon Suppression Army had heavily damaged the Demon Sect’s Flying Boats in the previous great battle. Even the few vessels that managed to escape back into the Demon Realm had sustained considerable damage. As a result, they faced no harassment from Demon Sect Flying Boats while setting up the Grand Array.
The setup of the Grand Array went very smoothly. However, when it came to laying out the subsidiary Tier Two Arrays along its perimeter, they ran into quite a few problems.
Once the Seven Luminaries Demon-Slaying Grand Array was in place, they had to be extremely careful when establishing these smaller Arrays. They had to pinpoint the right Spiritual Acupoints to prevent them from competing with the Tier Three Grand Array for Spiritual Qi.
It fell to Iron Head to lead the Array Masters in surveying the Spiritual Eyes one by one before they could finalize the Spiritual Acupoints for the Array Formation.
Yinjiao, meanwhile, was in the Array drawing Lesser Yang Exorcism Talismans. He had mastered this particular Talisman back when he was still with the Five Elements True Spirit Sect. Now, trapped within the Nine Nether Profound Separation World Creation Array and cut off from the outside world, their supply of these talismans—the item they consumed the most—was beginning to run low.
Ji Feng was busy repairing Magical Artifacts for the soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army, along with the Array Banners damaged during the previous great battle.
Some of the Array Banners had suffered considerable damage from the tremors caused by the Heaven-shattering Earth-collapse Array.
Yang Jing, meanwhile, remained seated cross-legged in a Quiet Chamber, using his Inner World to refine the trapped Red Yin Death Demon.
Although this Demon couldn’t compare to an Other-Transformed Self-Free Celestial Demon, its Cultivation was at the Golden Core Realm. The Spiritual Mechanism gained from refining it would far surpass that of an Other-Transformed Self-Free Celestial Demon.
In the Foundation Establishment Realm, every increase of a single layer in one’s Cultivation also brought a significant boost to both Magical Power and Divine Sense. This would be a great boon for the battles to come.
However, refining a Golden Core Celestial Demon was far more arduous than refining a Foundation Establishment-level one. This Red Yin Death Demon was resisting Yang Jing’s refining process with all its might.
In a single day, he could only refine out enough Spiritual Mechanism to equal five drops of Magical Power.
「In the tense and oppressive atmosphere, seven days flashed by.」
The Defensive Spirit Light of the Seven Luminaries Demon-Slaying Grand Array had become virtually the only source of light in the chaotic, dim expanse of the Demon Realm.
Eight Tier Two Arrays stood guard, encircling the Grand Array.
Each of these Tier Two Arrays was powerful enough to serve as the Clan Suppression Array for a Foundation Establishment Clan, protecting their ancestral lands. Here, however, they were merely expendable assets, meant to whittle down the Demon Sect’s forces and relieve pressure on the Main Array.
The Demon Suppression Army troops defending from within were prepared to abandon these Tier Two Arrays at a moment’s notice and retreat into the Grand Array.
Perhaps the newly arrived Demon Army needed time to reorganize, for the seventh day was deceptively calm. Only a few Yin Death Demons were seen spying on the Array from a distance, and they were quickly dispersed and hunted down by Flying Boats under Iron Head’s command.
The feeling of an approaching storm, the calm before the tempest, weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.
Yang Jing sat cross-legged inside the Quiet Chamber, holding a golden Jade Scroll. Within it was the Five Dragons Hibernation Scripture.
Because this was an Inheritance Jade Scroll, content could only be recorded into it using a sect’s unique Secret Technique. Furthermore, once the recording was complete, it could never be altered.
After checking the Secret Seal on the Jade Scroll, Yang Jing confirmed that its contents were completely intact and authentic.
He let out a breath and summoned Chi Yu.
He had already let several of his disciples try cultivating this technique and discovered that his disciple Yinjiao had the strongest Talent for it. Unfortunately, Yinjiao’s Cultivation was still only at the First Layer of Foundation Establishment.
Aside from him, the next best was Chi Yu.
Perhaps due to her half-Celestial Demon bloodline, her Talent for Divine Sense Skills was quite outstanding, surpassing that of his other disciples.
"Master."
Chi Yu entered the Quiet Chamber, her face somewhat pale.
Ever since she’d been enveloped by the Nine Nether Profound Separation World Creation Array, the Crimson Yin Blood Demon Bloodline in her body had begun to stir restlessly. She had no choice but to circulate the Black Death Seven Tribulations Scripture day and night to refine the resulting Evil Qi.
If her mastery of the Black Death Seven Tribulations Scripture had not already reached the realm of Peak of Perfection, and if her Cultivation had not reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, she truly would have been unable to suppress the roiling Evil Qi generated by her bloodline.
Seeing her sickly and listless, a far cry from her usual lively self, Yang Jing’s heart ached for her.
Every time the Profound Yin Blood Demon Bloodline became agitated, submitting to it would cause an endless torrent of Evil Qi and Demonic Qi to surge forth, boosting one’s Power. However, resisting it and trying to suppress the agitation would result in excruciating, soul-tearing pain.
"Chi Yu, I will now perform an Empowerment and transmit the Five Dragons Hibernation Scripture to you."
Cultivating the Five Dragons Hibernation Scripture would allow one to enter the deepest of slumbers to nourish their Divine Sense. During this state, the agitation in her bloodline would also subside.
