I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Chapter 545: Chapter 361: Heart Demon Spiritual Artifact, Chaotic Battle Erupts! (Bonus)

The heavens and earth were dark, the heavy rain poured down, and the entire world trembled within the veil of rain.

Yet before him, the mountains seemed to come alive, countless spiritual qi surged from the celestial vault and earth vein, falling into the dense array patterns on the mountains.

"Boom!!"

A dazzling spiritual light shot straight into the sky, shattering the rain curtain that spanned the heavens.

Jiuyi Mountain was originally an ancient giant peak, its mountain ridges tall and heavy, extending far and wide. At this moment, spiritual light surged forth, and on the mountains, enormous, boundless mountain peak phantoms condensed once more.

In an instant, the mountain peaks soared into the skies, and the entire world was covered by mountains.

Everywhere he looked was sheer cliffs and precipices, the end not visible to the eye.

This was an extremely awe-inspiring, grandiose scene.

Not to mention mortals, even ordinary cultivators standing here would be shaken by this immense momentum.

This is the Jiuyi Profound Demon Array, the Mountain Protection Array of a Tier Four Sect, now operating with full force, fortified by thousands of years of accumulation, almost reaching to unfold the celestial vault, vast and boundless.

At this moment, however, eighteen figures descended from the clouds, appearing before the grand array.

"Raise your array banners, follow me into the array!"

Master Tiandou urged his mana, and a three-foot-sized array disc, shimmering with blue light and inscribed with innumerable array patterns, floated up, emanating boundless spiritual light.

Upon the array disc, eighteen small array banners displayed names one by one, flashing continuously, then leaped up to hover above everyone’s heads.

Gu Yuan felt as if a barrier descended from the array banner, sheltering him within, yet simultaneously, an absorbing power emerged from the array banner, eagerly seeking his mana.

"Boom!"

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan’s mana surged forth like a tide, falling onto the array banner.

The other Golden Core cultivators did the same.

"Clang!"

In an instant, all the array banners vibrated simultaneously, an invisible "line" connecting the eighteen people, a tide of pure and boundless mana surged into the array disc.

The array disc quivered, its spirit charm activated by the surging mana, a golden "saber" phantom suddenly emerged.

This golden saber phantom was just a hundred feet in size, but compared to the vast mountain array phantom, it was like firefly light.

"Boom!!"

Yet when the golden saber phantom descended, the entire Jiuyi Mountain shook violently, as if mountains were collapsing and earth was splitting, countless rocks rolled down, and dust filled the air.

"What?!

"How is this possible?!"

Atop Jiuyi Mountain, within an ancient hall named "Inquiry Hall," an elderly man with white hair and flood dragon patterns on his face suddenly opened his eyes, revealing extreme shock.

Beneath him, over a dozen Golden Core cultivators and great demons too were uncertain and panicked, showing alarm.

The Jiuyi Profound Demon Array is a Tier Four Array, relying on Jiuyi Mountain’s tens of thousands of miles of spirit meridian, continuously fortified by various secret techniques over thousands of years, serving as the genuine Mountain Protection Array.

It is the protection of the Dao lineage!

To exaggerate, this array is even more important than a Daoist embryo cultivator, being the biggest reliance for the Celestial Demon Sect to guard its foundation.

Two Daoist embryo cultivators are stationed within; without the attack of four or more Daoist embryo cultivators carrying powerful artifacts, it is absolutely impenetrable.

Currently, the Cyan Peak Daoist School and Thousand Waves Sect have somehow trapped the Nine Flames Demon King and Master Guzhai, yet relying on their Golden Core great demons, they can still contend against Daoist embryo cultivators, making it difficult to enter the array.

But now, outside the grand array, eighteen Golden Core cultivators joined forces, relying on a Tier Four array disc, and caused the grand array to tremble, this cannot be tolerated?!

"These two sects came prepared, fearing they intend to execute a campaign of mountain conquest and sect destruction. This array disc is likely specifically created for our sect’s Jiuyi Profound Demon Array, sharing the same source with our sect’s array, fearing it cannot restrain them." Said a cultivator in black robes, concealed entirely in garb, abruptly opening his mouth.

As the black-robed cultivator spoke, outside Jiuyi Mountain, a crack suddenly opened on the endless mountain phantoms.

The eighteen Golden Core cultivators swiftly entered through this crack, abruptly invading Jiuyi Mountain, into the sect gate.

This scene was seen clearly by everyone in the hall through the water curtain light mirror, everyone in the hall was visibly shocked.

"What should we do?"

A great demon asked in a deep voice.

The other great demons and Golden Core cultivators also had serious expressions.

Everything happened so suddenly.

They were all "big figures" enjoying longevity for centuries; ordinarily, their Qi refining techniques were excellent, always handling matters with deliberation, never rushed or impatient.

But today, while they were quietly cultivating in their Cave Mansion, within just a few breaths, someone launched a campaign of mountain conquest and sect destruction, invading their gates; this sight was too terrifying, they even had a moment of disarray.

Could there be a risk of the collapse of Jiuyi Mountain’s thousands of years of foundation?

"Do not panic!"

"Entering the array does not equal breaking the array; the hub of the grand array is in our hall, as long as this hall remains unbroken, the grand array will not disappear."

"Although the two sect leaders are trapped in the Vast Sea Celestial Calming Pearl, the grand array’s spiritual qi continues to flow abundantly, nourishing the two sect leaders, as long as the grand array remains unbroken, the situation is as stable as Mount Tai!"

That black-robed cultivator, with sharp insights, immediately saw through the situation, comforting everyone.

Everyone fixed their eyes attentively, discovering that although the eighteen Golden Core cultivators raised the golden saber phantom, persistently slicing through layers of mountain phantoms, advancing toward the hall, the entire grand array remained as steady as Mount Tai, unmoved, spiritual qi pulsating incessantly.

The situation appeared as though a mouse had infiltrated the array, scurrying around, yet causing no harm at all.
