Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1337 - 1336: The Trap

With the little elf's reminder, Fang Yu carefully observed the surroundings.

The positions and directions of those arrays were indeed meant for self-preservation. It's not unusual for Weiyang Palace to set up such formations, as every city does.

Including nearby trees, bushes, and steles.

All of them bore eerie symbols.

However...

Even with such arrays, there's no need to activate them all. Typically, arrays only activate to counterattack during external invasions. On the contrary, now, the surroundings were abnormally quiet.

Yet the arrays were activated.

This could only mean one thing: Weiyang Palace needed absolute safety during this time.

"Well, I'll wait then."

Fang Yu sneaked into the nearby forest, secretly observing.

After about half an hour, the surroundings remained silent, devoid of people, with occasional bird calls coming from the forest.

The weather wasn't great, with overcast clouds making the view slightly blurry.

Fang Yu simply sat cross-legged to meditate.

His Divine Sense left the body...

The wind blowing the vegetation, the movements of nature, all entered Fang Yu's mind.

Fang Yu deliberately avoided approaching the array, first observing around it.

Finding no anomalies, he headed towards the center of the array.

His consciousness easily passed through the defensive layer of the array and arrived at Weiyang Palace.

Weiyang Palace stood grandly with its nine layers.

From the first to the eighth, accommodating living, dining, exercising, swimming, reading, and working areas.

Until reaching the ninth layer, Fang Yu saw a white-haired elder sitting in the center, cross-legged.

This white-haired elder made Fang Yu slightly surprised, reminding him of the movie he saw in the modern city, called "Shushan Legend", where the Emei Taoist looked exactly like this.

White hair and beard, with eyebrows and beard equally long and white.

"Is this... the Human Emperor?"

Due to being in the Peeping Divine Realm, Fang Yu felt confident about himself.

So far, apart from the previous encounter with Ye Wenjun encountering a Divine Sense slightly inferior to his own realm, he hadn't met anyone with a spiritual will level comparable to him.

Thus,

Fang Yu pushed his Divine Sense forward.

Then.

Fang Yu noticed a faint, half-sphere-like protective shield around the Human Emperor.

"I have to say, the Human Emperor is at a critical breakthrough period..."

Just at this moment.

Fang Yu sensed a dangerous aura approaching.

"What the hell?"

Could it be that someone knew the Human Emperor would have a breakthrough at this time, so he hid in Weiyang Palace and activated all the arrays?

Extending his Divine Sense, leaving the ninth layer of Weiyang Palace, he went upwards.

Sure enough...

A powerful presence headed towards Weiyang Palace.

"A Spiritual Consciousness?"

"The Peeping Divine Realm is indeed formidable. The opponent probably didn't expect me to be here, not deliberately hiding."

Watching the gray consciousness flying towards here.

Fang Yu prepared to counterattack.

As the consciousness flew over, it suddenly divided into eight strands.

Fang Yu couldn't help but be surprised: "Eight people!"

It turned out to be the consciousness of eight individuals, attacking Weiyang Palace from all directions simultaneously.

Fang Yu's mind retreated swiftly, returning to the ninth layer of Weiyang Palace.

Seeing the Human Emperor below was at a critical juncture.

"No matter... who dares intrude Weiyang Palace! Get out!" Fang Yu used his Divine Sense to emit powerful sound waves.

These sound waves naturally originated from his body.

Sound waves resonated above the nine layers, creating massive ripples.

Those eight strands of consciousness were instantly shattered.

Flying away.

Escaping swiftly.

Fang Yu's Divine Sense continued to swirl.

Alert for potential incoming attacks around.

Clearly, this was a conspiracy targeting Weiyang Palace.

At this moment.

The Human Emperor's voice sounded –

"Young friend, come in!"

Fang Yu was surprised, saying: "You knew I was here?"

"I sensed two distinct consciousnesses appear, you are benevolent... come in."

"Alright."

Fang Yu retracted his Divine Sense.

At the moment his Divine Sense flew back, Fang Yu saw the transparent shield around the Human Emperor disappear.

Fang Yu swiftly flew back to his body.

Soon after.

Opened his eyes suddenly, glancing upwards.

In the distance, a gray mist was flying towards here.

"It's the enemy!"

Fang Yu immediately jumped up, running towards Weiyang Palace, in an instant, all the array defenses disappeared.

Not daring to linger, quickly leaped to the ninth floor.

The array restored at this moment.

Entering into the ninth layer.

No outsiders, only the elder sitting cross-legged in the center, with his weary eyes focused on Fang Yu, examining, examining again...

After a long while.

The Human Emperor revealed a pleased smile, saying: "You've finally arrived."

"You, you recognize me?" Fang Yu felt very shocked.

"I don't know you, but I recognize the aura on you..."

"Hmm?"

"The Rain Cutting Sword Technique, is my creation. When I left the Huaxia World, I left it on an unknown treasure, which drifted in the Human World, with no idea of its whereabouts." The Human Emperor said flatly.

"..."

Fang Yu couldn't help but be shocked, "Rain Slash was actually created by you!"

"Indeed." The Human Emperor nodded, "I am very pleased... You could master all the profound meanings of the Rain Cutting Sword Technique in such a short time, even beyond my expectations. I always thought no one could master this technique, nor unlock the face of that Divine Artifact. But surprisingly, you did... It seems Heaven's choice is correct! You are the one I've been waiting for!"

Fang Yu listened, feeling utterly bewildered, not knowing what he was talking about.

Bang!

Outside, a crash sounded, Weiyang Palace trembled slightly.

The Human Emperor said: "Time is urgent... In the remaining time, just listen... Since the establishment of Wanxian City, it has always been rooted in the Huaxia World, absorbing Huaxia's Spiritual Energy, severing Huaxia's dragon root. Therefore... every tens of thousands of years, when Wanxian City's Spiritual Energy depletes, it will find ways to extract Huaxia's Spiritual Energy. Now, as the Huaxia World's Spiritual Energy has become sufficient again, Wanxian City is bound to make a comeback. I, as the Human Emperor, to stop this plan, have forcibly cultivated against destiny for more than thirty thousand years! Unfortunately... my talents are not enough, no matter how I cultivate, I cannot surpass the Primordial Human Immortal, reach the Ancestor Realm!"

Ancestor Realm!

Fang Yu drew a sharp breath, this is the realm of super strong beings.

He never imagined that the Human Emperor before him had reached the level of Primordial Human Immortal, and even sought to challenge the Ancestor Realm.

Too terrifying.

"The current situation requires a strong person in the Ancestor Realm to stop it. Only then can the barrier of Wanxian City be fully opened, and its entire operating system be broken! This is one of the necessary conditions... Thus I sacrificed my lifespan spanning millions of years to enhance my cultivation. I dedicated my lifespan entirely to Weiyang Palace's Divine Statue! I gambled that I could break through before my life ends. Alas... I failed!"
