How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 180: Making a Feint to the East but Attacking in the West, Circulation Array

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Making a Feint to the East but Attacking in the West, Circulation Array

Lord gazed towards her.

"Master, look at their positions. The Grand Sister is ahead, and he is behind, with his eyes gleaming brightly—typical lustful eyes."

Lord’s expression was unreadable, but given her status, she couldn’t engage in idle chatter with her disciples.

Gu Yu said, "There’s only one thing that I don’t understand. Why are his eyes so bright? If someone with a chest as full as yours, Master, were sitting in front of him, I’d understand that he was sneaking peeks at your chest, but the Grand Sister has nothing in front of her, flatter than a calm lake surface. What could he possibly be peeping at?"

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a willow branch by the cliff sprang up, wrapping around Gu Yu’s waist. The next moment, Gu Yu was hoisted into mid-air; she wanted to scream, but her mouth wouldn’t open.

Snap, snap, snap...

Three soft sounds. Three willow twigs struck her buttocks simultaneously.

Gu Yu’s face swelled with redness, swinging in the air.

Her master seemed to have done nothing.

Just one hand resting on the willow tree, and the branches came alive, whipping his disciple.

Unbeknownst to Lin Xiaosu, he was wholeheartedly indulging in the learning of Ancient Text.

The more he learned, the smoother it went. As the number of characters he recognized increased, his learning speed accelerated. Midway through the book, he had already learned a thousand Ancient characters; two-thirds through, he learned two thousand; by the end, it was nearly three thousand.

The commonly used Chinese characters actually only tally up to three thousand.

What did this imply?

It meant that he could preliminarily understand the contents recorded in the Ancient Text...

So, could he decode those two Steles now?

He visualized the two Steles stored in his brain, comparing them with the recently learned Ancient Text, and instantly, a super typhoon erupted in his heart...

The Stele on the stone bridge recorded the founding principle of the Ancient Array Sect: "Ancient Array Sect, aligned with the Heavenly Dao, bullies not the weak, opposes not the Heavenly Dao, violates not the humanity, though the world in chaos and wilderness wide, our sect still remains a clear stream in turbulent times!"

And at the center of the ruins, the top four characters on the giant Stele read "Zhou Tian Array Formation"...

That was the essence of Ancient Array Sect’s array techniques.

The opening sentence was: "In the path of arrays, our sect is supreme!"

Nine characters, utterly domineering.

Waves surged uncontrollably within Lin Xiaosu...

He entered the Cangshu pavilion, intending to learn some basic array techniques to complement his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, hoping by some serendipitous chance to form a positive connection with Shenghua Valley.

Unfortunately, the array books in the pavilion were too elementary, all theory and no practical techniques, his plan seemingly in vain.

But fortune came unexpectedly—he learned the Ancient Text.

This was an unforeseen gain.

Even more surprising events followed; having decoded the Ancient Text, as he traversed the ruins of Array Sect, he deciphered two Steles, one of which turned out to be the essence of the Array Sect’s techniques, "Zhou Tian Array Formation."

And the Array Sect was unsparing in their criticism of their own arrays: "In the path of arrays, our sect is supreme!"

What does supreme mean?

Reaching the pinnacle of mastery!

This Stele contained the strongest Array Path techniques!

With techniques to construct arrays called "Zhou Tian Yin Yang Array Diagram."

With techniques to break arrays called "Qiankun Breaking Array Nine Forms."

Initially thinking to stir small fish from muddy waters, he didn’t find small fish but found a line; pulling on the line, hey, dangling below was the biggest fish...

What is this?

A feint to the east but attacking in the west?

Fortune is fickle?

"What are your thoughts on this story?" Feng Ji’s voice came through.

Lin Xiaosu’s thoughts withdrew, returning to the story itself...

Yes, learning the text was Lin Xiaosu’s design.

A design unknown to anyone.

To Feng Ji, she was only telling a story.

This story, Lin Xiaosu initially paid no heed, but since Feng Ji mentioned it, he naturally had to consider it...

Emerging from his mind, this story carries the twists and turns of destiny.

It tells of a tragic cultivator.

His name was Feng You.

Feng You was originally a disciple of the great sect "Li Sect" in the Ancient Wilderness, strikingly brilliant, who broke into the Three Realms of Enlightenment at a young age, destined to become the Saint Heir of his sect and entering his grand era. However, he was born at the wrong time, encountering another exceptional talent, named Yun Fei.

Thus unfolded a fierce battle, or a grand competition.

In the ultimate showdown at Tian Tai mountain, Yun Fei surpassed by a narrow margin, shattering Feng You’s Dan Tian Blood Tower and shaking him off Tian Tai mountain. Just as Feng You was about to perish, at that moment, his beloved Fairy Hong Zhu stepped forward, struck a bargain with Yun Fei—she willingly agreed to marry Yun Fei in exchange for sparing Feng You’s life.

Yun Fei agreed. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Feng You survived death, left the sect in cold and stormy weather.

His Dan Tian Blood Tower destroyed, expelled from the sect, his beloved marrying his enemy, and with that enemy assuming the role of Saint Heir of Li Sect, nurtured with boundless resources, Feng You saw no hope.

Then, he buried himself...

If the story ended here, it would just be a regular plot twist on the path of cultivation.

Not enough to fill a book.

The real story begins from here.

Feng You buried himself for a hundred years...

This hundred years, he devoted himself to cultivating a Miracle Skill.

This Miracle Skill is called the "Life and Death Scripture," comprehending the dao of life and death, achieving an Immortal Physique.

A hundred years later, he emerged from the earth, and with a wave of his hand, he obliterated thirteen peaks of Li Sect, turned three thousand elders into bones. Yun Fei, who had just taken over as the Sect Master of Li Sect, stepped forward and fought with him again at Tian Tai Mountain.

This time, the outcome was different.

Feng You executed the Life and Death Conversion Technique, stripping all flesh and blood from Yun Fei’s body.

Just as he was about to destroy his Primordial Spirit and completely annihilate this ultimate rival who usurped his position and wife, making his life worse than death, someone stepped forward and stood in front of him.

This person was his once-beloved Fairy Hong Zhu.

Fairy Hong Zhu told him: A hundred years ago, I protected you, today, I must protect him.

Feng You could hardly believe his ears and asked her: Why is this?

Answer: Because he is my husband!

Feng You, unable to let go: Did you forget our initial agreement?

Answer: The agreement is not forgotten, I have repaid it with a hundred years of disgrace; however, today he is my husband, and we have shared a hundred years together, and also have children who are our concern.

Feng You looked up to the heavens and sighed deeply, his heart ashen, and left dejectedly.

However, what he didn’t expect was that his moment of mercy led to Fairy Hong Zhu’s complete annihilation.

Yun Fei, who narrowly escaped death, watching the foundation of Li Sect destroyed, unleashed all his rage on Fairy Hong Zhu, claiming her as the root cause of all troubles. If not for Fairy Hong Zhu sparing this evil life a hundred years ago, how could such disasters occur today?

He killed Fairy Hong Zhu at the summit of Tian Tai Mountain.

By the time Feng You heard the news and rushed back, Yun Fei was nowhere to be found, leaving only the mutilated remains of his once-beloved, the Immortal Scripture unable to revive his lover, a century-old journey unable to call back the lost entanglement.

Feng You thus entered into madness, hunting those who claimed to be righteous and moral so-called Immortal Sects, eventually leading to the collective extermination by all Immortal Sects. He was finally killed as his chain of immortality was severed, ending his controversial life.

And the one who killed him, was indeed Yun Fei.

This person, with the grand achievement of killing the unparalleled demon Feng You, became a Righteous Master...

This is the entire story of this book "Wandering Souls of the Dead."

Story by Feng Ji read word by word, then, she asked Lin Xiaosu: What are your feelings?

Lin Xiaosu sighed with melancholy: "Three insights, first, the line between good and evil is blurred; second, the judgment of love is challenging; third, the distinction between life and death is indiscernible... How about you?"

Feng Ji smiled lightly: "What I wanted to say, you’ve already expressed in one clean phrase... since you entered the valley, you haven’t eaten yet, let me take you for some food."

Still, it was on this mountain peak.

Lin Xiaosu enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.

There was wine, extremely strong.

There was food, deliciously prepared.

There was plain rice, genuinely tasty.

There was someone to accompany him, it was Feng Ji.

Feng Ji ate quite a lot, Lin Xiaosu had two bowls of rice, she had three.

Although she ate a lot, Lin Xiaosu still couldn’t see any signs of her belly swelling; her body showed no signs of fullness...

If her thinness wasn’t so out of the ordinary, Lin Xiaosu could joke, you can eat more, after all, you are thin, such a phrase in the outside world would certainly make any girl happy, everyone wants to be thin.

But her thinness was too extraordinary.

Calling her thin was not a compliment, but a jab.

Therefore, Lin Xiaosu didn’t mention anything about body shape, and just casually asked: "How do you know the Ancient Text?"

Feng Ji laughed: "You probably don’t know, but this piece of land was originally part of the Ancient Wilderness, there are some people from Ancient Wilderness here, as long as one is diligent, one can always learn it."

Lin Xiaosu was shocked: "This tract of land was actually Ancient Desolate Land?"

"Yes, this matter is an ancient history, tracing back to a thousand years ago. A thousand years ago, the Ancient Immortal Sect besieged Array Sect, and the last eighty-one elders of Array Sect turned their bodies into an array, sacrificing their Primordial Spirits, and forcefully stripped this land from the Ancient World."

Lin Xiaosu finally unraveled a mystery...

About the origin of the temple.

The temple, no one knew where it came from.

It seemed there was no trail to follow.

Originally, this realm did not exist a thousand years ago.

Its emergence was because Array Sect pushed the boundary between the human world and the Ancient World forward; this temple, this place, was originally part of the Ancient World.

Why would Array Sect do this?

It’s because Array Sect could not survive in the Ancient World, so they used Great Divine Power to cut their location directly out of the Ancient World.

This was incredibly bold.

Ordinarily, when people do not fit in somewhere, they just run away.

But the strength of Array Sect was something else; they cut everything out, including the land.

Unfortunately, while they succeeded in their strategy, their people perished...

Was this grand strategy a failure or a success?

"Having seen the Array Formation Books, do you know if there’s a way to break the formation?" Feng Ji’s question was like throwing a stone in the sky; it must land.

You wanted to see it, you’ve seen it.

Shenghua Valley has also shown you the utmost goodwill. What comes next?

Lin Xiaosu smiled gently: "Do not worry, Miss! Give me no more than seven days, and I will have an answer for you."

"Seven days?" Feng Ji’s eyes brightened.

"Yes, I need to organize some information and also need time to think... Can you not wait?"

"I’ve waited a hundred years, I can certainly wait seven more days!" Feng Ji said. "If you need any materials, please let this gentleman know."

"Right now, no materials are needed, just sit beside me, and if there’s something to ask, you can respond at any time."
