Chapter 524 - Evanescence Array

“We told him not to come and he didn’t listen to us. As expected, he is sealed now.” At this moment, about two hundred meters away from Wang Feng, Niu Dadan and Wan Tian appeared, both of them looked worried.

Although they left before, yet they followed him secretly afterwards, wondering if Wang Feng would be sealed.

Now what they worried did happen. Demon Qiu was just not amenable to reason. He would mercilessly imprison everyone who came here.

“It is wise of us to prepare him so much food. Otherwise, he would be starved to death,” Wan Tian said.

“Well, he is not able to come out in a short time. Let’s come back in one month.” Demon Qiu always sealed people for one month at least, so they knew Wang Feng would be stuck here for at least one month.

The two left, and after that no one came to the Skeleton Mountain anymore since everyone knew that Demon Qiu got crazy again recently. He would seal anyone he met and no one could plead for the people he sealed.

Time went by slowly. Wang Feng had been stuck in the array for ten days. He had been thinking about how to breach the array for all the ten days. However, he didn’t even figure out the nature of the array yet.

During this period, he called Demon Qiu several times, but the latter was busy healing himself and didn’t reply to him at all.

Looking at the people around him, Wang Feng found that they were in a state of cultivating and was getting skinny.

Powerful as they were, they couldn’t bear not eating or drinking for ten days. They wouldn’t die from hunger, but they would become skinny for sure.

Fortunately, Niu Dadan was a man of foresight and he left him much food. Otherwise, he would be shrunken like them, too.

It was difficult to breach the array. Wang Feng made no progress for ten days. However, he was not discouraged because he thought he would figure it out some day.

Some twenty days later, Wang Feng reappeared in front of the Skeleton Mountain. He finally broke out from the array.

The reason that the array could block them forever was that it was formed by Reiki. As long as the Reiki existed, the array would not vanish.

This was something that Wang Feng comprehended before. Each array had its eye of array. Looking from another aspect, Wang Feng easily found its eye of array and broke out unhurriedly.

Different from the last time that he broke the Locking God Array of the Dragon Spirit Squad by his extreme power, this time he broke the array in the right way.

Around him, some people who had been blocked for some time became mummified already. They looked like neither ghosts nor human beings, which were quite scary.

They hadn’t eaten or drunk for more than half a month and they were getting worse though they were quite powerful. If they were imprisoned for a longer time, they would die from hunger.

Cultivators in External Strength could survive if they didn’t eat or drink for a week. The time would be longer for cultivators in Internal Strength. They might hold on for half a month. The fasting time for cultivators in the Great Void would be even longer, but once they exceeded the limit, they would be at risk of death from starvation, too.

“Eh? Did that man break the array?” At this time, someone passing by looked at Wang Feng surprisingly.

“How could it be? I think he was released by Demon Qiu,” another one replied to him, dragging that man away.

“I found that man’s figure familiar,” that man murmured, and then he left here.

…

“Senior, I have breached the array. According to our agreement, you should teach me this array,” said Wang Feng at this time, waking up Demon Qiu who was practicing in solitude immediately.

“Very good. You are the first one who broke out for the past ten years. I underestimated you.” Powerful as he was, Demon Qiu’s voice quavered a little when he sensed that Wang Feng really came out from the array.

“A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. Teach me the array, Senior,” Wang Feng urged him.

“I promised you and I will not go back on my promise. Take it. This book recorded this array,” Demon Qiu said, and then a ray of light flew to Wang Feng. What wrapped inside was just an ancient book.

Holding the ancient book, Wang Feng glanced at it and then he rolled his eyes at once. The book was not recorded in simplified Celestial Empire characters, but a strange character that he had never seen before.

“Senior, are you kidding me? You deliberately gave me a book that I can’t read,” Wang Feng asked.

“It’s none of my business. I’ve done what I promised you. Leave with the book and don’t bother me anymore.”

“All right. I will come to you again when the book is translated,” said Wang Feng, then he turned around and left here soon. Demon Qiu was annoyed.

He asked him not to bother him anymore, but he said he would come again. Wasn’t he deliberately trying to provoke him?

If it were not for his wounds, Demon Qiu would have already rushed to seize Wang Feng and beat him.

After leaving Demon Qiu’s Skeleton Mountain, Wang Feng soon found Niu Dadan and Wan Tian who were eating and drinking in a restaurant. Because of Wang Feng, the two had become good friends.

“How… how did you come out?” When the two saw Wang Feng, they were quite startled.

Demon Qiu would imprison everyone for at least one month. There were still then days left. How could Wang Feng come here?

“Why? Don’t you know me?” Wang Feng asked, and then he sat opposite to them.

“No, Demon Qiu will seal people for at least one month. Did he release you early?” Niu Dadan hesitated to ask.

“It’s unnecessary. I broke the array,” Wang Feng replied. Niu Dadan and Wan Tian both stood up surprisingly.

“It can’t be true,” Niu Dadan shook his head, and then he added,” for more than ten years, no one breaks Demon Qiu’s array. This jock isn’t funny at all.”

“I’m not joking. I really broke the array and came out on my own,” Wang Feng explained. However, he gave up when he saw distrust from their eyes.

He quickly took out the ancient book that Demon Qiu gave him, saying, “Demon Qiu gave me this book and I can’t read the characters in it. You two do me a favor and translate it for me.”

“It’s… it’s characters of the ancient Cultivation World,” Niu Dadan exclaimed out as he opened the book suspiciously, surprising many people to cast their eyes here.

“Hush! Lower your voice,” Wang Feng made a gesture of keeping silent.

There were so many people who coveted Demon Qiu’s array. If other people knew that the array is recorded in this ancient book, some people might come to rob it.

“Do you know these characters?” Wang Feng asked in a low voice.

“I learned a little, but I can’t read all of them. There is an ancient dictionary at my home. Maybe we can translate it,” Niu Dadan answered, and he lowered his voice as well.

“Let’s leave now.”

“OK.” After knowing the importance of the book, Niu Dadan paid the bill and took Wang Feng and Wan Tian to his house immediately.

His house was on the peak of a mountain with an elegant environment. Ordinarily, almost no one came up.

Different from other peaks, on this peak, only Niu Dadan’s family lived here. Other people couldn’t come up unless they were asked to.

Niu Dadan gained advantages from his father. There was a rule in Zhongnay Mountain that only people above the Late Stage of Great Void could monopolize a mountain. Other people could only squeeze together.

“Buddy, where did you get this book? You must know few people in this era use characters of the ancient Cultivation World,” Niu Dadan asked at his home.

“Didn’t I tell you before? It was given by Demon Qiu. I broke his array and he gave me the method of the array,” Wang Feng explained.

“Did you really break his array?” Wan Tian asked surprisingly at this time.

“Sure, I will gain no profits by lying to you,” Wang Feng replied, rolling his eyes.

“I found it,” at this moment, Niu Dadan shouted out, making Wang Feng and Wan Tian run to him.

At this moment, Niu Dadan held an old-fashioned book, which recorded the characters of the ancient Cultivation World. It was almost like a current dictionary.

“This array is called Evanescence Array,” Niu Dadan said excitedly.

Apparently, it was the first time that he had contacted an array. Although Demon Qiu’s mastering of arrays was world-famous, few in the world could learn anything from him.

He never took any apprentice, so outsiders could learn nothing from him.

Now, he actually gave them such an array; for sure they were excited. If they could master this array, it would be much easier for them to block their opponents.

“Chop-chop, translate the rest of it,” Wang Feng urged him since he knew how powerful the array was.

If he hadn’t found the eye of the array with his X-ray vision, he couldn’t have come out. If he used this array against others, they might not come out.

Just like the people who were trapped in front of the Skeleton Mountain, they could only wait for Demon Qiu to release them. Otherwise, they would be blocked there forever.

“Take it easy. These ancient characters are difficult to understand. It was not easy to translate them,” Niu Dadan replied, turning over the ancient dictionary in his hand quickly.

However, this book of Evanescence Array consisted of hundreds of characters, which were all characters of the ancient Cultivation World. If Niu Dadan translated at such a speed, he wouldn’t complete it even if he were given a whole day.

“Let me have a try,” Wang Feng said, grabbing these two ancient books directly.

With his X-ray vision, he could memorize all the characters quickly without turning over the book, which was much more efficient than Niu Dadan.

After one glance at Niu Dadan’s ancient book, numerous ancient characters appeared in Wang Feng’s brain. His head was overwhelmed by roars and almost exploded.

He almost couldn’t bear it when so much knowledge flooded into his brain at one time.

Fortunately, he managed to hang on and bore all the ancient characters in his mind.

Now when he read the ancient book given by Demon Qiu which accorded the array, all the characters that he didn’t know before could be translated now.

After about half an hour, the whole Evanescence Array was finally translated by Wang Feng, which surprised both Niu Dadan and Wan Tian.

It took Niu Dadan about ten minutes to translate three characters, while Wang Feng only spent 30 minutes to translate the whole book. What a demon!

“How did you do it?” Niu Dadan asked in doubt.

“You don’t have to care about it now. Let’s study this array first,” Wang Feng said, and then he held in hand the piece of paper which recorded the translation.

The power of the Evanescence Array was formidable and Wang Feng had experienced it. However, when he tried to study the Evanescence Array with the translation, he found it was not easy.
