Chapter 506: Chapter 358: The Extinct Magic Beasts! The Despair of the Great Xia Cultivators

This is indeed Zhong Heng’s first time setting up a permanent comprehensive array.

This kind of array consumes a lot of materials, fortunately, the Hundred Stars Alliance is willing to let Zhong Heng spend them extravagantly.

Zhong Heng, along with four or five array masters, arranged this array.

It might not be as grand as the array at Three Clouds Market, but it’s still a standard fourth-tier comprehensive array, using the array map from the Hundred Stars Alliance, the Hundred Star Heaven Brilliance Array.

Zhong Heng learned another great array.

The array masters standing beside Zhong Heng wore expressions of clear arrogance and disdain.

"How could this group of country bumpkins who have never witnessed the might of arrays understand the greatness of the Array Dao?"

"Tsk."

"Frogs in a well, nothing more."

The array masters exuded a clear sense of arrogance.

Only when facing Zhong Heng’s gaze would they obediently retract this arrogance.

Array masters are indeed more arrogant than alchemists.

In contrast, Zhong Heng possessed none of the arrogance typical of an array master.

This is one of the reasons why many people are willing to befriend, follow, or even worship Zhong Heng.

The array erected the defensive barrier.

The massive collection of spirit stones piled in the warehouse was supplied to the array almost without cost.

The forbidden magic of Great Xia indeed contains some profound elements, with every spell having the elegance of a major secret technique.

However, without a True Master emerging, the defensive array would not be broken.

These attackers even tried to launch attacks from underground and from all directions.

But the array had already considered various situations.

"Do they think they can break Master Zhong’s array?"

"Just a few practitioners of cultivation techniques, do they even dare to engage in fraud?"

The the array masters and cultivators around said these words.

However, Zhong Heng’s thoughts wandered far.

"What really happened? Yunmiao Master left early, and even Master Liuchuan left..."

Zhong Heng furrowed his brow slightly.

But he did not panic too much.

As long as the entrance to the secret realm remains intact, even if all the forces here are completely annihilated, the continuous influx of power from the Qu Hong Cultivation Realm is simply incomparable to this world of the secret realm.

[The Great Xia cultivators released the Supreme Demon.]

[The Supreme Demon started continuously attacking the numerous cultivators from the Qu Hong Cultivation Realm.]

[Upon investigation, the source of these Supreme Demons was discovered.]

[In fact, the Supreme Demon is only that one large creature, while the other smaller creatures are endless offspring of the Supreme Demon.]

[That giant creature’s cultivation level is comparable to Golden Core Perfection, even Yunmiao Master does not have absolute confidence in dealing with it, let alone the opponent also has a Heaven and Earth Mage at the Golden Core Master level.]

[The battle situation quickly shifted from defense to attack; the creatures are endless, and the number of cultivators hired by the alliance is ultimately limited.]

[Quickly, the alliance was defeated step by step.]

"Could it be that the Five Elements Sacred Beasts of that year were meant to seal the Supreme Demon?"

"But I don’t find it likely..."

Even with the external warfare raging, as a distinguished array master, Zhong Heng could still enjoy the safest residence and the most favorable conditions.

One by one, the books collected outside were sent in.

Zhong Heng always felt that they hid some secrets.

Secrets that might be of use to him, Zhong Heng.

"But could it be that... some array capable of summoning the Five Elements Four Sacred Beasts had sealed the Supreme Demon?"

"But what exactly is this Supreme Demon..."

Raising his hand, Zhong Heng caused Lin Wui, who was munching on snacks nearby, to immediately sit up. Zhong Heng whispered a few words to her.

Lin Wui immediately left, and in just a short time, Lin Wui captured a still-clawing, fierce black bug.

Zhong Heng’s Spirit Illusion Gaze flickered.

He carefully examined the bug.

"It has faint traces of demon power?"

"This bug is actually related to the Demon Race?"

Lin Wui held the bug down for Zhong Heng to examine carefully. Meanwhile, she added, "The people from the alliance tested it; this bug has no poison, and its meat can even be eaten."

Before Lin Wui could finish speaking, Zhong Heng ripped off one of the bug’s legs, just like breaking a crab leg.

Revealing the white meat inside.

"Brother, you..." Lin Wui was slightly anxious, but seeing the white meat made her mouth water a bit.

Zhong Heng tentatively took a small bite.

A slightly strange expression appeared on his face.

There was a stir from outside.

Steward Hu came in with some people, seeing Zhong Heng like this made him even more anxious than Lin Wui.

"Oh, Master Zhong, don’t, you..."

"This thing, while temporarily found to be non-toxic, might carry some sort of curse!" Steward Hu was sweating on his forehead.

Curses are not uncommon in the Cultivation Realm.

They are more obscure and troublesome than poison.

Even a True Master who is not skilled in this area would have no way to deal with an ordinary curse.

Zhong Heng’s expression was peculiar as he looked up at Steward Hu.

He said, "You won’t be able to preserve the Great Xia Secret Realm World."

Steward Hu’s expression twitched slightly, and he said diplomatically, "Master Zhong, no need to be so direct."

"No, what I mean is..."

[As the Hundred Stars Alliance was drenched in sweat dealing with the Supreme Demons, a message reached the upper echelons.]

[Array Master Zhong Heng discovered that the leg meat of these Supreme Demons contains nutrients similar to Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects!]

[Upon hearing the news, the leadership of the Hundred Stars Alliance rushed to the Great Xia Secret Realm World without delay.]

[With the personal inspection of a certain Alchemy Master, it was finally concluded that the leg meat of every Supreme Demon contained nutrients similar to the Seven-Star Obscure Spirit Grass.]

[The Seven-Star Obscure Spirit Grass is a relatively common Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object and can barely be used as an auxiliary medication for subpar Foundation Establishment Pills.]
