Chapter 501: Chapter 356: Independent Cultivator Alliance

There are differences between arrays of the same tier.

An ultra-large array set up with immense resources is definitely more powerful than a regular array set up by an Array Master.

The Three Clouds Spirit Array within Three Clouds Market is a fixed gigantic comprehensive array nurtured by decades of tax revenue from the entire market, possessing the abilities to kill, trap, and defend.

And now, the array patterns within the large array have been cleverly transformed by Array Masters into more targeted conventional arrays.

The phantoms of the Four Holy Beasts void-stepped and departed.

Four colors occupied the sky.

The people of Three Clouds Market stared blankly at the sky.

The old Taoist’s gray-white long hair fluttered, his robe tattered and stained with blood and dirt.

His gaze finally regained clarity.

He looked incredulously at the approaching Four Symbols Sacred Beasts.

"How is this possible!"

"How could you Outer Celestial Demons possibly receive the favor of the Holy Beasts."

"I, the old Taoist, am unwilling!!!!"

"You trespass my lands, slaughter my compatriots; Four Holy Beasts, how can you shelter them!"

In a moment, the old Taoist’s faith seemed to shatter.

The might of the Four Holy Beasts enveloped.

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of the old Taoist’s mouth.

"Boom——————"

In everyone’s eyes, the phantoms of the Four Holy Beasts stepped into the void, and then the old Taoist, who massacred countless souls, exploded with a resounding blast.

Blasted by the glowing light of four colors.

Fallen!

Four colors replaced the sunlight.

The phantoms of the Cyan Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise seemed to possess their own souls, glancing over the mortal realm.

"What is this!?"

"A Tier Five Array, the Four Symbols Array!"

"Yes, it must be a Tier Five Array!"

"The Three Clouds Spirit Array is almost depleted, how terrifying."

A few Array Masters murmured, all of them looking towards the figure standing ahead of them.

The figure was cloaked in the light of the Four Symbols, his posture upright.

But in the next second, his body softened, collapsing with a thud.

The Array Masters quickly supported him.

[You have successfully slain a powerhouse from the Secret Realm.]

[The powerhouse from Shallow Cloud Mountain arrived late, he was utterly astonished that you were able to slay those two.]

[Meanwhile, a recent True Master from the Wandering Dragon Sword Sect hurried over, leaving the powerhouse from Shallow Cloud Mountain with no follow-up action.]

[After a long while, a powerhouse from the Business Alliance arrived late.]

[Three Clouds Market is being rebuilt, and the reputation of the Three Clouds Market Array Master Alliance instantly resonated throughout the Qu Hong Cultivation Realm.]

[The nominal supreme leader of the Three Clouds Market Array Master Alliance, Master Sumu, personally awarded you the honorary title of Tier Five Array Master of the Array Master Alliance.]

[The Four Symbols Array you transformed, while relying on the Three Clouds Spirit Array and the help of multiple Array Masters, is not considered a truly independent Tier Five Array. Yet, it has shocked countless cultivators.]

[The news of you and Sunx Yue slaying the Secret Realm invaders spread throughout the Qu Hong Cultivation Realm.]

[Countless Loose Cultivators regard you two as idols, with many wanting to join the Wandering Dragon Sword Sect or the Array Master Alliance.]

[However, both the Array Master and Sword Cultivator have very high thresholds, yet many newcomers with Array Master talent have joined the Array Master Alliance.]

[Lin Wui sent a letter, determined to avenge you.]

[Yunmiao Master had no reaction.]

[You and Sunx Yue split the relics found on the two Secret Realm powerhouses, unexpectedly discovering the special nature of a hairpin.]

[The hairpin seems to contain the Power of the Five Elements, incomprehensible to ordinary people. Only those with deep understanding of the Five Elements Technique, or cultivators practicing other Five Elements Type cultivation techniques can perceive the subtle and dense Power of the Five Elements within it.]

[More exceptional is the capacity for this Power of the Five Elements to transform into Five Elements Divine Light, akin to an ability where "nothing escapes its brush" under the divine light.]

[It reminded you of a particular peacock from mythologies of your distant past life.]

[However, the divine light is naturally pure, serving as a trump card, and it is also tied to your cultivation true essence.]

[You speculate that the world these two came from might contain secrets related to the Five Elements, and sent letters to Lin Wui, in the midst of his training, and Boss Yunmiao, urging them to investigate.]

[In the year 5073 of the New Source Era, your fame continued to grow immensely.]

[You can sense an invisible hand seemingly pushing behind the scenes.]

[These years you’ve intentionally reduced your public appearances, yet your legend steadily circulates among Loose Cultivators in various markets.]

[Zhong Heng, of Loose Cultivator descent.]

[Son of a mortal huntsman, without any family background, and even his Spirit Root is the Five Spirit Roots.]

[Later, through his own efforts, he became an Array Master, joining Divine Strategy Pavilion of Three Clouds Market.]

[Despite becoming an Array Master, Zhong Heng did not forget the common people, beginning to set up Spirit Gathering Arrays for many Loose Cultivators at prices far below market rates.]

[To this day, the Spirit Gathering Arrays of Divine Strategy Pavilion are still a tier lower than those of other places, thus ranking in market cost-effectiveness lists for various markets, becoming affordable for Loose Cultivators, benefiting many of them.]

[And that day, with a Secret Realm powerhouse escaping and slaughtering mortals during the escape from sect families, Master Zhong emerged, leading the Array Master Alliance to slay these two mighty figures at the cost of severe injuries and exhaustion...]

[This legend is continually spread throughout various markets, yet you perceive a trace of the unusual, as the tales consistently emphasize your origins, overlooking the Hundred Stars Alliance’s support for you, nor mentioning the substantial merit of the Wandering Dragon Sword Sect’s adept Sunx Yue in the market battle.]
