Chapter 1699: Chapter 1699: Thought Han Yan Fell into the Trap
"How dare I hold dissatisfaction towards Lord Divine, it’s just..." Sikong Qinglan was hastily explaining, having been slapped with a big label.
"Priest Sikong, don’t forget the purpose of your visit to Tianfeng City this time, best not to meddle in matters that aren’t your concern." Wen Rongsong interrupted him directly, speaking with a hint of threat in his voice.
"Exactly, we’re here for the assessment at Tianfeng Temple, what’s it got to do with Huayu Temple." Ling Baobao also said impatiently.
"Alas, I’m only considering what’s best for you. This Priest assessment carries risks, there might even be loss of life if mishandled. If you don’t possess the aptitude, it’s better to give up early." Sikong Qinglan sighed, shaking his head as he spoke.
As he shook his head, he quickly shot Ling Baobao a look.
Though Ling Baobao doesn’t make much progress in strength no matter which continent he arrives at, he’s accustomed to trickery, and his resourcefulness is on par with those seasoned old god-men. He immediately noticed the warning intent in Sikong Qinglan’s eyes.
Ling Baobao didn’t say much else, but instinctively looked over at Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan also caught Sikong Qinglan’s look, clearly, it was a reminder of something. If the guess was correct, Wen Rongsong and his group definitely harbored ill intentions about this assessment.
At first, it was thought this guy was just a spoiled rich kid with nothing to do, but now it seems he was misjudged.
"Thank you, we have decided, we must participate in this Priest assessment." Mu Hanyan said calmly, throwing a thankful look subtly towards Sikong Qinglan.
Though aware of Kang Qingyuan and Wen Rongsong’s group’s ill intentions and receiving Sikong Qinglan’s reminder, Mu Hanyan would not change her decision.
Sikong Qinglan was apparently not as quick-witted as Ling Baobao, momentarily stunned by the flash of gratitude in Mu Hanyan’s eyes, unsure if he was seeing things, and whether she had seen his look.
As he hesitated for a moment, Mu Hanyan had already arrived at the center of the hall.
She had heard Ye Yi’an explain the temple priest’s assessment method long ago: The temple has an array specifically used to test the strength of divine sense, named the Concentration Array. Though called the Concentration Array, it gathers not divine sense but Heaven and Earth Power, once stepping into the array, the Power of Laws would gather and envelop outside.
The Power of Laws here is purer and more powerful than in the wilderness outside, if one’s divine sense is strong enough to clearly sense this Power of Laws, one can easily walk out of the array, if not, then one would be trapped within the array, slightly careless, may be severely injured or die within the array.
And this Concentration Array is set up in the very center of the hall.
As soon as Mu Hanyan reached the center of the hall, Wen Rongsong quickly made the hand gestures, immediately, a peculiar light pattern of the array flashed around Mu Hanyan, the array was about one meter in diameter, enclosing Mu Hanyan firmly.
Seeing the array activate, Sikong Qinglan was urgent but helpless.
Maybe it was just an illusion, there are many people who look alike in this world, she may not be that person. Sikong Qinglan comfortingly thought.
Upon entering the array, Mu Hanyan could clearly feel the unique Power of Laws from Divine Continent enveloping her, this power compared to outside’s Power of Laws is stronger and purer, imposing more pressure. If not having cultivated Martial Arts, Mu Hanyan might have been oppressed too heavily to straighten.
Of course, even with Martial Arts cultivation, the immense pressure made Mu Hanyan’s breathing somewhat heavy.
According to assessment requirements, as long as one can walk out of the array on their own, it’s considered success. With Mu Hanyan’s strong divine sense not suppressed, she could easily perceive that the Heaven and Earth Power had gaps rather than forming a single mass, walking out was almost effortless.
However, just as Mu Hanyan was about to walk out, she suddenly got inspired, why not use this opportunity to gain insight into the temple’s array, just arriving at the temple, unable to use Sword Dao cultivation, apart from overly simplified Martial Arts, there’s no other defense technique, learning some Array Formation Technique wouldn’t hurt.
Since besides heavy breathing, she felt no other discomfort, walking out would just require a few steps, Mu Hanyan simply stopped and began to meticulously comprehend this array.
The Divine Continent and Holy Court Continent originally share a lineage, there are many commonalities in arrays, but after millions of years of separation, due to different laws, not only cultivation methods but also Array Formation Techniques have developed many differences. The more Mu Hanyan pondered, the more she found it profound, corroborating it with Holy Court Continent’s Array Formation Technique, she gained much benefit.
"If adjusted like this, this array’s power could double at least, such an adjustment might greatly benefit cultivation, what if..." Mu Hanyan repeatedly deduced, unknowingly her mental state fell into clarity.
...
"What’s up with Hanyan?" Outside the array, Ling Baobao looks at Mu Hanyan with closed eyes and a solemn face, worriedly asking.
"I don’t know either, could something have gone wrong?" Ye Yi’an worriedly said.
Initially thought Mu Hanyan would have no problem with her Xuanhuang Energy stepping out of the Concentration Array, but unexpectedly, once in the array, she actually closed her eyes, looking so solemn; it seemed likely there was an accident.
"Hmph, I’ve known all along, if she were truly talented, why learn Martial Arts, surely she’ll face hardship now." Wen Rongsong seeing Mu Hanyan’s appearance assumed an accident, being heavily pressured by Heaven and Earth Power unable to exit the array, sneered saying.
"With such aptitude, dreaming of becoming a temple priest, dying serves her right." Kang Qingyuan also maliciously cursed.
Liang Gusong didn’t say much, but showed a grim smile.
Not far away, Sikong Qinglan showed worried, despite comforting himself that the girl might not be that person, seeing Mu Hanyan looked troubled, he couldn’t help but worry.
Suddenly, Mu Hanyan’s face flushed, her body began to tremble slightly.
Not good! Ye Yi’an and others’ hearts sank simultaneously. Judging by appearances, she obviously couldn’t withstand the strong Power of Laws within the Concentration Array, if this continued she might be severely injured or die within.
"Master, stop the array quickly!" Ye Yi’an shouted to Wen Rongsong. In these moments, he disregarded Mu Hanyan’s cultivation, focusing on saving her life.
"Wouldn’t it be a waste to stop now? Mu Family finally produced a descendant with decent aptitude, if abandoning now, even the fief would be hard to keep." Wen Rongsong said with feigned persuasion.
