Chapter 686 I'll Write You an Invitation
Xue Tong stood outside the city lord's mansion, thinking about his little tiger, while Xue Lan and Zhu Lingzhi were inside drinking tea.
Perhaps because they had witnessed the heavy snowfall summoned by Xue Lan before, even though time had turned back, the surroundings returned to their original warmth.
However, Zhu Lingzhi still felt a chill in his heart, and only felt better when he ignited a fire in his heart.
The woman looked at Xue Lan, who seemed completely unfazed, and carefully considered her words before speaking:
"The senior said he would teach me something?"
"Yes!" Xue Lan smiled brightly, then pointed to the ground:
"About this grand formation."
"The Spirit Fire Nirvana Formation... Senior, you understand formations?"
"You know a little." Xue Lan put down her teacup, took out the Chonglou Illusionary Treasure Map from her sleeve, and unfolded it. A formation diagram gradually appeared on the dark scroll, with semi-transparent small formation flags spinning and dancing on it.
Bizarre and ever-changing.
Zhu Lingzhi saw Xue Lan lightly tap the array diagram, and the entire array that was just operating stopped as if it had been frozen.
Xue Lan's voice sounded somewhat ethereal: "But I can't activate the formation right now."
Zhu Lingzhi did not understand what it meant to be unable to move the formation.
Does the untouchable entity on the other side of the Yuanming Realm truly exist?
Xue Lan seemed to have guessed the woman's thoughts, and with her fingertips she drew spiritual energy across the array.
Zhu Lingzhi opened his eyes wide.
The moment that wisp of spiritual energy touched the entire array plate, all the originally quiet spiritual energy on the array suddenly became chaotic, as if attracted by something, and rushed to wrap around the spiritual energy at Xue Lan's fingertips.
It twisted into a turbulent current of spiritual energy, indescribably eerie.
"Look!"
Xue Lan shook her hand, and the spiritual energy naturally dissipated from her fingertips. Zhu Lingzhi followed the woman's gaze to the array on the diagram.
The flow of Qi is completely disordered, and spiritual energy is stagnant.
It's already ruined.
"Why is this happening?"
Xue Lan winked at her and raised her hand to her lips in a shushing gesture:
"Heavenly secrets cannot be spoken of. But there is someone who knows them; you can go and ask him."
Do you know Yan Chengxue?
Zhu Lingzhi naturally knew that there were only a handful of geniuses in the lower realm. She and Lei Chuxi had investigated them one by one.
“That is, the successor of Senior Lei Kui.”
"That's right, it's him." Xue Lan clapped her hands with a smile:
"She is a prodigy, with a talent for array formations that is rare in both the upper and lower realms. Therefore, Senior Lei Kui plans to send her to Shangwei Mountain."
Zhu Lingzhi was startled: "Shangwei Mountain."
She had seen this name in the clan's ancient books. Legend has it that its original name was Shangwei Mountain, a celestial palace in the Upper Realm. There, on which was the Yuanming Grand Array, which controlled the energy and spiritual power of the entire Yuanming Realm, protecting the Yuanming Realm for ten thousand years.
“That’s right, it’s the Shangwei Mountain you’re thinking of.” Xue Lan nodded with satisfaction.
"Senior Lei Kui didn't explicitly say so, but in my opinion, the great formations blocking the demon race in the upper and lower desolate regions of the Yuanming Realm are most likely extensions of the Yuanming Great Formation." Xue Lan looked at Zhu Lingzhi very seriously:
"Lingzhi, the Yuanming Grand Formation must have suffered some kind of damage. If it can be repaired, the expulsion of the demons will be just around the corner."
Zhu Lingzhi understood; this was the price Xue Lan had paid for teaching her.
The demon race never transmits teachings without a reason, because the demon race is inherently involved in more karma than the human race when cultivating. If the demon receives too much favor from others, they are more likely to be troubled by the Heavenly Dao when breaking through the boundary.
"Senior, do you want me and Yan Chengxue to work together to repair the Yuanming Grand Array?"
Xue Lan waved her hand with a smile: "You're not going to fix it!"
"We'll leave the repairs to the professionals. You just need to make sure he doesn't die. As for array cultivators, they're all useless before the array is activated."
Zhu Lingzhi's eyes cleared up in an instant:
"Aren't you friends?"
Xue Lan's fate is not determined by her words: "Even friends talk behind people's backs. Haven't you ever talked about Lei Chuxi behind their backs?"
Zhu Lingzhi fell silent.
Lord Wolf King revealed a smug smile, raised his hand and waved it over the ruined array diagram, which vanished like sand on a sand table. In its place appeared four rings of fiery red runes.
"This is what I'm going to teach you, an ancient restriction that fits the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Ancestral Fire."
"There are only two ways in the world to transform the spiritual energy of a region into one's own. The formation is active and unpredictable. It requires someone to stay and guard it, adapting to the changes and guiding the flow of energy within, in order to transform it into energy and control the overall situation."
"The restriction is based on stillness, and the spiritual energy involved is frozen forever the moment the restriction is created, just like this."
Zhu Lingzhi watched as Xue Lan's fingertips twitched slightly, and the red restriction on the drawing slowly lit up. The outermost runes unfolded and rotated like wings, everything was neat and orderly, and the scorching heat radiated out in circles.
“Array formations are easy to destroy but difficult to break. Even if you find the so-called array eye, the person operating the array will turn it into a futile effort. But restrictions are different; the flaws are right in front of you.”
"Furthermore, the restriction only needs to be opened; no further action is required!"
Zhu Lingzhi looked at the restriction and indeed found an obvious flaw in the east corner.
However, there are at least three hidden dangers around this flaw.
"This technique is called the Supreme Mysterious Ancient Four Directions Vermilion Bird Mystic, one of the ancient techniques and restrictions unique to your Phoenix Clan." Xue Lan smiled faintly. "It is activated by the Nirvana Ancestral Fire, and is a one-time, indiscriminate killing move. With your current cultivation level..."
Xue Lan looked Zhu Lingzhi up and down: "Burning your bloodline power can at least withstand a cultivator of the previous major realm."
Zhu Lingzhi gasped.
"Is such a priceless treasure only for one-time use?"
"The restrictions are all one-time use, only considering the intensity and killing move, not the changes in the energy."
"What? You think it's a bit wasteful?"
Zhu Lingzhi pondered for a moment, then nodded honestly.
"What are you afraid of?" Lord Wolf's words were shocking: "Life is the most important thing. If you really like it, you can go to my tomb to train after everything calms down, and dig up a couple of things yourself."
Zhu Lingzhi immediately cupped his hands in a salute and said, "This junior dares not."
"What's there to be afraid of? I'll write you an invitation before I die. I'll invite Princess Ling of the Phoenix Clan to attend. A wolf is very lonely when it dies..."
"senior."
Zhu Lingzhi interrupted Xue Lan, now absolutely certain that the person in front of her was indeed Xue Lan from the lower realm.
It's either an incarnation or that cheeky Xue Lan.
Once the identity of the wolf as the chief lord is set aside, communication becomes much easier in an instant!
Seeing that she had amused him, Xue Lan obediently made a gesture of zipping up her mouth.
Xue Tong taught her.
"The Supreme Mysterious Ancient Four Directions Vermilion Bird Wonderland originally had no way out," Lord Wolf King sighed.
"But for your Phoenix Clan, especially for you, Zhu Lingzhi, there is a path to survival that is agonizingly painful."
Zhu Lingzhi looked into Xue Lan's gray eyes and said, word by word, "Nirvana."
The pride of the Phoenix Clan is like a phoenix rising from the ashes, a rebirth achieved through the pain of death!
"That's right, listen carefully to what I'm about to say."
An hour later, Xue Lan tapped the Chonglou Illusionary Treasure Map, and the restrictions on the map transformed into an exquisite and luxurious ruby necklace that appeared in her hand.
Zhu Ling instinctively reached out his hand, and heard Xue Lan ask, "Are you willing?"
The Wolf Queen did not give the item directly to Zhu Lingzhi, because in her eyes now, Zhu Lingzhi was a very young bird.
Her generation was the most brilliant and talented in the Yuan-Ming world, and also a group of... children.
Zhu Lingzhi lowered his head, pondered seriously for a while, and finally spoke:
"First, I want to tell our ancestor."
Xue Lan nodded: "Okay."
"That's fine then." The woman said with a smile, reaching out to take the necklace from Xue Lan's hand.
"Senior, there's no need to worry. All living beings in this world will experience this. Thank you for imparting the Dharma to me today..."
Zhu Lingzhi paused awkwardly for a moment, then spoke softly:
"That invitation to the senior's burial..."
Xue Lan: You really dared to want it!
