Chapter 364 - Battle of Spiritual Arrays (1)

“Junior Brother Liu, it’s a lot of points!” Bai Lin waved his hand repeatedly. They would need six months to earn one thousand points each, and Liu Wuxie just gave them away.

“There’s no need for formality between us. You two sought me out at this moment and shared so much information with me. The points are well worth it,” Liu Wuxie said, patting Bai Lin’s shoulder. After all, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was filled with people harboring malice against him, but Bai Lin and Tang Tian took the risk to find him.

Furthermore, they had experienced life and death together and were brothers.

“Alright, we won’t be polite then. From now on, our lives belong to you.” The two might’ve reached the ninth-level True Core Realm, but they still looked up to Liu Wuxie. After all, Liu Wuxie had slaughtered those in the ninth level, like cutting down weeds back in the Scarlet Sun Mountain Range. After so long, they believed Liu Wuxie’s strength must’ve undergone shocking changes.

Liu Wuxie returned to his room after sending off Bai Lin and Tang Tian. He set up array flags and planned to go to the cultivation chamber the next day to go into seclusion.

He set up a spiritual array to isolate the entire courtyard from the outside world. This was because he was expecting many people to visit him that night.

Liu Wuxie sat on the mat and took out the interspatial ring and ten-odd interspatial pouches. He cut his finger with the Heretic Blade and dripped his blood on the interspatial ring.

In the next second, a burst of radiance came from the interspatial ring, and a vast space appeared in Liu Wuxie’s mind. This was the internal space of the interspatial ring, which was on a new level compared to interspatial pouches.

If it was an interspatial pouch, he could only check the space inside with his divine sense. But for the interspatial ring, each item would be imprinted in his mind, and he could summon them with a thought.

When he took out everything from the interspatial pouches, the room was filled with items. He moved the spirit stones into the interspatial ring, which contained 1,300,000 spirit stones. This amount was enough for him to reach the Heavenly Dipper Realm.

As the night deepened, rustling sounds came from footsteps outside the window, but they couldn’t enter the courtyard.

“He’s too cunning. He set up a Confusion Array, and we’ve been wandering in circles.” An enraged roar came from outside the courtyard. This was because Liu Wuxie had set up a massive Confusion Array. Once inside, everyone would lose their sense of direction and couldn’t even leave.

Over a hundred people gathered outside the courtyard in just two hours, all trapped in the Confusion Array. This was a spectacular scene. As a result, those who came later didn’t dare to enter and merely stood quietly outside the courtyard.

Liu Wuxie naturally observed everything happening outside but pretended not to hear them.

“Not bad. This alchemy cauldron is better than Hou Chi’s!” A large cauldron appeared before Liu Wuxie. He planned to refine pills sometime soon. His cultivation speed would slow down after the initial explosive period.

If he could consume pills daily, he could rely on them to shorten his cultivation time. There were tens of thousands of spirit stones placed before him. A portion were from those he had killed, while the others were exchanged from the Mission Hall.

There were thousands of porcelain bottles containing various fifth-grade pills. In the outer sect, it was impossible to exchange them for sixth-grade pills. Most bottles contained spiritual liquid meant to nourish the meridians.

This was because Liu Wuxie could sense a tearing sensation from his meridians when he used the ice-attribute energy, which meant his physique still needed strengthening.

There were also materials designated for blacksmithing, spiritual arrays, and talismans.

It wasn’t until midnight that Liu Wuxie was done organizing everything, so he didn’t have to worry about resources anytime soon. Glancing outside the window, a cold smirk rose on his lips.

“They’re courting death in wanting to break my spiritual array.” Liu Wuxie snorted coldly and infused more spiritual runes into the spiritual array.

Many people began reconsidering their approach after seeing inner disciples trapped inside the spiritual array. Things were far more complicated than they had imagined.

The facial expression of the youth who had sworn earlier became grim. After all, he had vowed to call Liu Wuxie ‘grandpa’ if Han Xing and Kong Yan failed to break the spiritual array.

“The grandson outside, why aren’t you kowtowing to your grandpa?” Liu Wuxie’s voice came from his room, and everyone heard it.

Hearing Liu Wuxie’s words, the youth stumbled.

“Liu Wuxie, I’ll kneel and kowtow to you if you dare to come out. I, Lu Liang, am a man of my word!” The youth stood firm and resolute.

“Making you kneel is easy!” Liu Wuxie’s voice was devoid of emotions as two beams shot out from the spiritual array. This wasn’t an ordinary spiritual array but a fusion with lethal arrays.

A scream came from Lu Liang as he fell onto his knees with blood flowing out from his kneecaps.

“What’s going on?” An uproar erupted from the surroundings as many people retreated, not daring to stay another moment.

"My knees! My kneecaps!" Lu Liang clutched his knees, attempting to rise. However, his kneecaps were shattered into countless pieces, meaning he would only be able to walk on his knees in the future.

“How is this possible? How could he have injured Lu Liang from inside?” Everyone had disbelief on their faces. Divine power could control flying swords and kill from a hundred meters away, but they couldn’t sense any divine power from what Liu Wuxie had done earlier. It felt as though the two beams had appeared out of nowhere.

“This is the power of spiritual arrays, filled with endless possibilities. I didn’t expect his attainment in spiritual arrays to surpass ordinary inner disciples,” a fifth-level Heavenly Dipper Realm inner disciple spoke with a hint of fear in his tone.

He left without hesitation, ignoring everyone else. More people began to leave after him. After all, even Kong Yan and Han Xing were trapped in the spiritual array and would only court humiliation if they entered it.

Lu Liang was carried away. He spewed vicious words before leaving.

“It’s so cold! I can’t take it anymore!” Those trapped in the spiritual array were covered in frost and shivered uncontrollably.

Han Xing and Kong Yan weren’t faring much better, either. Their eyebrows were covered in a layer of frost, and their teeth chattered.

“Senior brother, what should we do? We won’t last till dawn if this carries on!” Han Xing said, his speech slurred.

“We have no choice but to use our trump card now!” Kong Yan’s eyes turned cold, and murderous intent was released from him.

“Senior brother, you plan to break this spiritual array forcibly?” Han Xing was shocked. Their master had given them an array-breaking technique capable of breaking spiritual arrays forcibly within a short time.

However, the backlash was severe if they failed to break through the spiritual array.

“Do you think we have another option? Or do you want us to sit and wait to die, damaging our master’s reputation?” Kong Yan’s eyes flashed with a hint of madness. They never had the chance to use this technique since it was taught to them by their master, and it would finally come into play today.

Han Xing couldn’t refute what his senior brother said, so he took out flag arrays from his interspatial pouch, preparing for a battle in spiritual arrays.
