Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 191 - 123: Royal Race Array Patterns, Vast Killing Intent!

The vast earth, an ancient desolate city.

Amidst the endless grey sky and land, an extremely ancient border city sprawls across the heavy ground, stretching beyond the eye could see.

That night, countless fellow disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were all on edge, everyone worried that the young junior brother might not break the impending deadlock. It wasn’t until the latter half of the night when everyone sat cross-legged to meditate, beginning to conserve energy and prepare for the full counterattack at dawn.

While everyone tried to recover to their peak, Ye Xiaofan roamed aimlessly within this ancient city, observing its ancient and dilapidated state.

Those senior brothers and sisters needed to meditate to recuperate to their peak condition in preparation for tomorrow’s full counterattack by the Hundred Sects, yet Ye Xiaofan almost didn’t need to.

Though yesterday’s fierce battles also drained a fair amount of his Spiritual Power, for the vast and boundless Profound Sea, it was but a drop in the ocean.

Now having reached the peak of the Profound Sea Realm, Ye Xiaofan’s Profound Sea had further expanded beyond the hundreds of times greater than that of an ordinary person.

Thus, while everyone was meditating and taking Spirit Continuation Pills to maximize the elixir’s effects, he wandered around this ancient and broken city.

"These are extremely old array patterns."

Gently stroking the ancient array patterns on the city wall, which had faded to the point of near invisibility, a hint of astonishment flashed through Ye Xiaofan’s eyes.

This was one reason why he kept walking within the ruined city, as he could sense, with the unique perception of an Array Master, that almost every corner of the city was inscribed with array patterns.

However, these array patterns were clearly weakened by the ravages of time, almost to the point of being undetectable.

And just as Ye Xiaofan was gently stroking those patterns.

At some moment, another voice suddenly sounded.

"It’s unclear from which era this border city was built, but judging by the remnants of age on it, it should be very ancient, unimaginably so, and the main factor that has allowed it to stand undisturbed through endless ages are these array patterns."

Ye Xiaofan turned towards the voice, seeing a similarly young figure standing not far away, also looking up intently at those extremely faint array patterns.

It was obvious that Ye Xiaofan was not the only one who had noticed the countless ancient array patterns engraved on this ancient border city.

After speaking, that person slowly turned around, first bowing to Ye Xiaofan: "Junior Brother Ye." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

As the figure bowed, there was a faint hint of respect on his face.

This person was none other than a newly hailed Array Peak prodigy in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ from the Divine Sword Sect. In this world, strength commands respect. Although this Array Peak prodigy was Ye Xiaofan’s senior brother, he showed none of the airs typical of seniority, instead harboring full respect for the strong.

Ye Xiaofan had some impression of the person in front of him; he had seen him once halfway up Array Peak when he ascended to receive the inheritance from the old Peak Master.

It wasn’t deliberately that Ye Xiaofan remembered this Array Peak prodigy, but the round, dark birthmark on the left cheek was too distinctive.

Ye Xiaofan clearly remembered the look of discontent and defiance on that Array Peak prodigy’s face when he ascended Array Peak, as if the words ’Why should you inherit the Array Peak’s legacy’ were written there, full of coldness and unwelcome.

However, now over a year later, the expression of discontent and coldness on his face had been replaced by respect.

Such transformation left Ye Xiaofan sighing deeply, fully realizing what it means for the truly powerful to command respect, as if once a person becomes strong, the entire world seems benign towards you.

"Junior Brother Ye Xiaofan, I’ve met Senior Brother." Ye Xiaofan slightly bowed in return.

Seeing Ye Xiaofan bow in return, the expression of the other involuntarily showed a hint of surprise, then gratitude.

By convention, Ye Xiaofan, now as the Saint Heir of the Divine Sword Sect’s Array Peak, even if this was a temporary position, his status was above countless disciples. When faced with the salutations from his senior brothers, merely nodding in acknowledgment would suffice.

But this young junior brother in front of him returned the same courtesy, effectively preserving this senior brother’s face.

The Array Peak prodigy slightly smiled and cast Ye Xiaofan a benevolent glance.

Ye Xiaofan, however, did not mind these matters and instead said, "Has Senior Brother also noticed these ancient array patterns? What insights does Senior Brother have on these patterns?"

The fact that the other was able to sense the existence of the ancient array patterns meant that his Array Dao Talent was not lacking. At least, most of these patterns were close to vanishing in the long river of time. Even among the other dozen or so Array Masters on Array Peak, it seems none have sensed their existence.

As for Jiang Changqing and others, it goes without saying, although terrifying in cultivation, their knowledge on Array Dao was akin to a semi-literate, unable to sense these patterns that are almost non-existent, let alone detecting hidden killing arrays of a higher stealth level right away.

Ye Xiaofan’s intention in consulting the other was actually to see if he had any discoveries, as though this senior brother was merely an Array Peak prodigy, his time in array cultivation and knowledge perhaps far surpassed his own.

Though Ye Xiaofan was confident in his own talent, he never boasted, and there were many aspects related to cultivation that he was still only partially understanding.

"For Junior Brother to have such humility and heart, it’s no wonder you’re ahead of everyone, Senior Brother is impressed."
