I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 175 - 149: Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Array, Activate!
Heavenly thunder suddenly arrived, like a sharp sword piercing through the sky, like a silver dragon crossing the heavens.
The dazzling silver light tore through the darkness, making the entire Land of Azure Flame as bright as day in an instant.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, the silver-white electric tide roared like billions of swords clashing, overpoweringly sweeping across the universe!
Where it passed, volcanoes crumbled, trees were uprooted, and mystical beasts and evil corpses were obliterated to ash before they could escape!
Jiang Yuebai used Sky-Breaking Flash to flee ten miles away, but was still violently overturned by the forceful shockwave.
As the thunder wave dissipated and darkness returned, she steadied herself and flew into the air, dumbfounded.
Everywhere she looked was barren red soil, devoid of anything, only filled with drifting dust, like falling snow.
On Divine Silence Ridge, the volcanoes had collapsed into ruins, the situation below unknown.
The mountains undulated, ravines crisscrossed, and without the trees and boulders, Jiang Yuebai could see that the terrain resembled a giant three-dimensional lotus flower, half-buried in the earth.
"This lotus flower looks like the patterns behind the Condensing Light Mirror..."
Rumble!
A muffled thunder resounded, and Jiang Yuebai sharply raised her head, seeing a crimson fissure appear in the sky, grotesque and terrifying, pressing down on her with the weight of a collapsing sky.
The surrounding wind swirled more violently, distorting the air and colliding with howling sounds that sent shivers down the spine.
Jiang Yuebai didn’t dare to delay, using Sky-Breaking Flash to return to the original spot, throwing up the Array Plate at the array eye, and circulating the Five Elements Essence Qi with all her might.
Brilliant light surged into the sky, stars appeared in the night.
The myriad of stars flickered chaotically, their light shining brightly within the giant Array Plate as it rotated slowly.
Jiang Yuebai scanned the surroundings tensely, searching for traces of other array points.
Zhao Fuyi was still buried below, in a critical situation, and the commotion here would surely draw distant evil cultivators; once they all arrived, she, burdened by her wings, couldn’t possibly fight for long.
"Faster, faster, just need four array points, the Main Array Plate has already activated, why aren’t there even four array points?"
Little Green flew out from Jiang Yuebai’s Sea of Consciousness, swiftly darting around to help her search for traces of the array points.
[Quick, quick, quick]
The violent wind raged, Jiang Yuebai flapped her wings, standing isolated and helpless beneath the high-altitude Array Plate.
This feeling of pinning her hopes on others, she truly loathed!
Time ticked by, and apart from the whistling wind, there was nothing; Jiang Yuebai’s heart was in turmoil.
"Hurry up! I’ve tried so hard, why can’t you give me a glimmer of hope?"
At that moment, a beam of light shot up from the east, piercing the sky!
Like the first ray of light breaking through the horizon at dawn, tearing through the boundless dark night, brightening Jiang Yuebai’s eyes and lifting her spirits.
[Look]
Little Green’s phosphorescent fire blazed, excitedly watching as two beams of light followed one after another from the south and west.
Tears filled Jiang Yuebai’s eyes, her blood boiling!
Indeed, someone was still persisting; luckily, she hadn’t given up—what a relief!
Above, the Array Plate’s light was pulled by the three beams from the array points, expanding outward, extending towards the entire sky.
Not waiting for the fourth beam to appear, Jiang Yuebai rallied herself, promptly adjusting the Great Array according to the beams’ direction; every star point in the Array Plate transformed into Array Soldiers.
Under Jiang Yuebai’s guidance, the stars gradually echoed the Star Map in her memory, arranged and combined in a special pattern.
The outlines of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird began to emerge in the celestial Star Map, with the Black Tortoise in the north conspicuously missing.
Jiang Yuebai’s heart sank, and she looked northward, toward the direction of Coiled Snake Valley, where Ge Yuchan went alone.
"Could she... impossible, her concealment skills are so brilliant, she must have reached Coiled Snake Valley smoothly, she must be able to!"
Jiang Yuebai trembled uncontrollably, her mind in chaos, causing the stars to flicker; she hurriedly steadied herself, maintaining the output of the Five Elements Essence Qi, stabilizing the Great Array.
The Five Elements Essence Qi was consumed visibly, and at this rate, she could last at most another half an hour.
The north remained silent, Jiang Yuebai’s heart was in disarray, and she immediately summoned the Five Elements Lotus Platform, throwing the Spirit Stones from her Storage Bracelet into it, to sustain the Five Elements Essence Qi.
As the Spirit Stones were depleted, the north remained motionless; gritting her teeth, Jiang Yuebai threw the previously acquired top-grade Purple Fire Crystal into the Lotus Platform.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
[Be careful]
The sound of something breaking through the air came, as two gray flames shot out from Little Green, colliding with arrows aimed at Jiang Yuebai’s back, burning them to ash.
Jiang Yuebai glanced sideways and saw a dense array of Feather Clan extraordinary people, holding bows and arrows, encircling her in a semicircle, drawing their bowstrings taut and continuously shooting arrows at her.
Arrows rained down like a storm, the Shocking Golden Bell illuminated and protected Jiang Yuebai and Little Green, the arrows hitting the golden bell light as if battering banana leaves, creating a series of bell ringings that spread out like ripples.
The Feather Clan extraordinary people, as slaves of the Sun Erosion Sect, were responsible for transporting supplies and building forward bases. Their numbers were many, but all were at the Qi Cultivation Stage.
The commotion here was great, and since they had wings, they could arrive immediately.
The north remained quiet, and no beams of light shot up from other directions.
Jiang Yuebai suppressed her panic and anxiety, clearing her mind of distractions to continue stabilizing the Great Array, while Little Green continuously spewed Netherworld Yin Fire to burn the arrows.
She would never give up until the last moment, persistence brought hope, and giving up only led to despair!
The Feather Clan extraordinary people, seeing the ineffectiveness of their arrows, the leader raised a hand, uttering a few bird-like cries, and all the extraordinary people immediately retracted their arrows, stirring their Spiritual Energy to vibrate their wings.
Feathers in various colors fell from their wings, turning into a meteor shower of arrows that tore through the sky!
Bang, bang, bang!
The golden bell light violently shook, collapsing under the power of the feathered arrows.
Arrow feathers cut across Jiang Yuebai’s cheek, while the Red Scale Armor’s flames swirled, devouring the remaining feathered arrows.
In the distance, all the extraordinary people vibrated their wings, preparing for another full barrage of arrows.
Jiang Yuebai spread out the last few Spiritual Turtle Armor Talismans on her body, waving the wings on her arms, seeing the evil cultivators from the Three Elements Sect approaching aggressively from all directions on the crimson earth.
Already, getting closer and closer!
Maintaining the Great Array consumed a lot of Spiritual Energy, and the Five Elements Essence Qi in the Lotus Platform was nearly exhausted. If she resisted with full force, it would only hasten the collapse of the Great Array and result in utter failure!
Jiang Yuebai looked towards the north, Ge Yuchan, you must succeed!
Meanwhile,
At the Eastern Azure Dragon Array Point, four cultivators from the Liuyun Sect, two men and two women, were out of Spiritual Water, half-kneeling in the Fire Maple Forest.
Facing the overwhelming Fire-Eating Beetles, the four moved as one, slitting their wrists, and using their blood as water, fighting desperately for survival.
At the Western White Tiger Array Point, Zhuo Qingfeng and Hua Yingshi were half-covered in blood, leaning against a pile of rocks, their strength spent, and the Heavenly Thunder Pearl depleted.
Facing the encroaching Evil Corpses, Hua Yingshi looked sincerely up at the stars, while Zhuo Qingfeng, using his sword to support himself, stood up again and extended a hand to Hua Yingshi.
Hua Yingshi bit her lip, resolutely grasped that hand, stood up, and drew her sword!
At the Southern Vermilion Bird Array Point, three Vajra Platform martial monks stood back to back on a mountain peak cliff, their battered long staves facing outward.
Burning their essence blood, they ignited their Martial Souls, fighting the relentless magical beasts with blood and sacrifice.
To the north, Coiled Snake Valley.
Red mist filled the air, snake corpses littered the ground, the marsh water a glaring red, with two evil cultivator corpses, slain with a single strike, soaked within, and another collapsed on the shore.
A girl wrapped in black snakeskin stepped over mountains of corpses, wiping away the blood that seeped into her eyes, limping towards the Array Point position.
Blood dripped from the hem of her clothes, some from magical beasts, some from evil cultivators, and some her own.
Beneath the damaged snakeskin, where the red mist touched, came the sound of burning flesh, excruciating pain overwhelmed her, and Ge Yuchan fell to the ground.
Having reached this point, she had exhausted all her trump cards, yet fortunately, she did not disappoint!
She had arrived!
Ge Yuchan’s lips curled up slightly as she grasped the jade bead, and fiercely struck it down towards the center of the marsh island.
A flash of silver light suddenly flickered into Ge Yuchan’s eyes.
From the marsh’s edge behind her, an evil cultivator who had not yet died struggled to rise, flinging a Bloodthirsty Flying Knife at Ge Yuchan’s hand that held the jade bead.
At the critical moment, a bird-like cry echoed.
Clang!
The Cloud Lark Puppet collided forcefully with the flying knife, altering its direction to charge at the evil cultivator, exploding with a deafening boom.
Ge Yuchan remained expressionless, and beneath the rising flames behind her, she smashed the jade bead into the Array Point.
Boom!
A pillar of light shot into the sky, Ge Yuchan fell back laughing, feeling a sense of exhilaration.
Though separated by thousands of miles, Ge Yuchan seemed to hear a familiar voice, like the music of stone and string, the sounds of forest and spring, softly intoning.
"Four Symbols Eight Trigrams Array, rise!"
