Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 795: 599 Chapter Great Demon Array_2

Additionally, this Yin Qi would circulate within the Array, eventually returning to the very center of the Evil Wind Array.

Under such continuous cycling, the Yin Qi was actually always in motion.

And when the bodies of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators perished and their essence transformed into a surge of Blood Qi within the Evil Wind Array,

The circulating Yin Qi, like a kitten spying a fish, swiftly pounced upon it.

And quickly enveloped the surging Blood Qi, carrying it into the very center of the Evil Wind Array.

There,

The surging Blood Qi swiftly dissipated.

But the Yin Qi that had enveloped this Blood Qi was also somewhat consumed in the process.

And as the surging Blood Qi, transformed from everything within the bodies of the two Late Foundation Establishment cultivators, vanished entirely at the heart of the Evil Wind Array,

He Song, who had been closely observing everything, felt a slight tremor in his heart at this moment.

The Evil Wind Array, which slaughtered cultivators, seemed to extract the Blood Qi after the cultivators’ death, transporting it somewhere unknown.

This scene,

Why did it seem like it was using the Blood Qi to nurture something?

Standing outside the Evil Wind Array, within the Phantom Tracing Array he had set up, He Song’s expression flickered as myriad thoughts suddenly sprang to his mind.

Initially, He Song had believed that this Evil Wind Array was an Attack and Defense Array.

If he could master it, it would undoubtedly enhance his foundation and make him more powerful.

In the future, when facing powerful enemies, he would have a better chance of survival.

It was for this reason that He Song had stealthily come to this place to comprehend the Array.

Although during the process of studying the Evil Wind Array, He Song had sensed something was amiss,

He had still convinced himself.

This Evil Wind Array was an Array Skill he had never seen before; its strangeness was, perhaps, normal.

But at this very moment, when the surging Blood Qi from the bodies of the two Foundation Establishment True Persons was completely devoured by the Evil Wind Array,

Alarms immediately went off in He Song’s mind.

This Array,

Didn’t seem to be the attack-oriented Array Skill he had thought it to be.

Instead, it looked more like a Devil Sect Array.

Moreover, an Array for cultivating a certain entity or aiding something in healing.

Only this could explain why the Array would absorb the surging Blood Qi from the bodies of cultivators after their death.

According to He Song’s speculation,

And the information he had obtained from Master White Crane,

Once the Yin Qi inside the Array was fully depleted,

It would be time for the entity within to break through.

After all, Master White Crane once said,

Once a living creature is thrown into the Array,

No matter whether the creature is a demonic beast or a cultivator, as long as it has cultivational power, it would be able to diminish the power of the Evil Wind within the Array.

And that Evil Wind, in He Song’s current view, was nothing more than a peculiar force formed by a vast confluence of Yin Qi.

Enveloped by this force, an ordinary Foundation Establishment True Person would perish in an instant.

And as the subsequent Yin Qi delivered the surging Blood Qi produced after the cultivators’ death into the very center of the Array and was then consumed,

With the decrease of Yin Qi, that peculiar force would naturally weaken as the Array’s internal Yin Qi diminished.

This must have been why Master White Crane initially noticed that if one were to throw demonic beasts or cultivators into the Array, the power of the Evil Wind would subsequently lessen.

However, in the current view of He Song,

The amount of Yin Qi in the Array now, compared to before the two Late Foundation Establishment cultivators died, had not decreased by a substantial margin.

If one truly aimed to completely deplete the Yin Qi within the Array,

It would likely require the lives of quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators to fill it.

Which meant,

This array will temporarily remain unbroken.

There’s also no need to worry about someone breaking through the array from the inside.

He Song’s personal safety won’t be threatened during this period either.

Moreover, this array is a Golden Elixir Array, and anyone capable of setting up such an array for healing or nurturing an unknown cultivator, their cultivation level should not surpass the Golden Elixir Realm.

In other words, even if the cultivator who set up the array discovered He Song,

with He Song currently at the Golden Core Middle Stage, he doesn’t need to be too worried.

As Golden Elixirs themselves, with He Song’s strength, he doesn’t have to fear for his life being threatened.

After all, to overpower a cultivator like He Song at the Golden Core Middle Stage, one’s cultivation would have to reach the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm.

And once a cultivator has reached the Golden Elixir Great Perfection Realm, ordinary cultivators would likely be seeking opportunities to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, so why would they come after He Song?

Moreover, even when facing a being at the Golden Elixir Great Perfection,

with He Song’s current cultivation strength, escaping would probably not be difficult.

In such circumstances, knowing that the person who set up this array wouldn’t be beyond the Golden Elixir Realm,

He Song naturally heaved a sigh of relief.

Concerning his own safety, he no longer felt the crisis he had before.

After all, He Song had previously been guarding against an Ancestor Yuanying in this place.

Now that he knew the being inside the array was at most at the Golden Elixir Realm, naturally there was no need to be as vigilant as before.

However, although He Song had relaxed somewhat, he did not lower his guard too much.

He remained as cautious as before in matters that required caution.

It was only the feeling of oppression from potentially facing an Ancestor Yuanying that had considerably faded.

But as He Song considered his next moves, a doubt arose in his mind.

This Devil Sect Array, which also absorbs the Blood Qi of other cultivators to nourish an unknown being or for healing purposes—

should he continue to study it closely?

That is the question.

Although this array is peculiar, the things it could potentially nurture or the effects for healing may not be particularly strong.

Furthermore, it would likely take a considerable amount of time and numerous sacrifices of cultivator lives.

Otherwise, why wouldn’t the cultivator who deployed this array simply capture cultivators from the surroundings themselves to nourish the being within the array?

Or why wouldn’t they stay in the array and, after several years of healing, break out early once their injuries were fully healed?

Keep in mind,

Master White Crane has known about this place for many years.

Plus, throughout these years, he has been continuously throwing demonic beasts and even cultivators into the array.

Later on, several Foundation Establishment True Persons even perished here.

With such a tremendous influx of Blood Qi, it still wasn’t enough to completely exhaust the Yin Qi within the array,

allowing the person inside or the being that’s being nurtured to break out.

It goes to show that the healing effect of this array, or what it’s trying to nurture, requires a vast consumption and a long time to do so.

An array which seems not very powerful and could even be considered somewhat weak—

is it really worth spending many more years here to thoroughly study it?

Looking at the nearly undetectable barrier in front of him, He Song fell into contemplation.

And as He Song pondered,

outside,

Master White Crane and others, who had just conned two Late Foundation Establishment cultivators to their deaths, had now scavenged the belongings of those two cultivators and were leaving the area.

Now, Master White Crane, Flying Crane Master, and that Great Perfection Foundation Establishment cultivator had become allies.

With the three of them subtly luring more Foundation Establishment True Persons, it’s believed many more will soon be deceived into coming here.

Perhaps, after some time, the being nurtured inside the array or the cultivator undergoing seclusive healing within it, will acquire sufficient Blood Qi and manage to break out.

At that time, it may be the best opportunity for He Song to understand what indeed is being nurtured inside this array or if someone is healing within it.

Once he knows this, He Song will naturally be able to make the right decision.
