Chapter 2031
“Yes, that’s it. These two forces must be kept in balance and dissipated, otherwise there will be big trouble.” Little Tower kept a close eye on things and reminded him from time to time.
Chen Xuan held his breath, his fingertips forming hand seals, carefully controlling the suction force, watching the mist being drawn into the bottle little by little. Just as the scarlet mist was about to be completely sucked in—
call!
A sharp wave suddenly erupted from where the two wisps of mist had been, and blood-red array patterns spread out in the void like a spider web. The patterns were filled with a chilling and malevolent aura, and even the surrounding air seemed to be dyed blood red.
Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked, "Little Tower, what's going on?"
Xiaota's divine sense swept across the array patterns in an instant, and he said urgently, "This is a backup plan left by Empress Yu Rao! It's the oldest and most deadly array pattern from the Immortal Ancient Era! Kid, don't collect all two streams of divine matter. Leave a trace in place, otherwise, once the array is fully activated, we'll all die here!"
Chen Xuan dared not be negligent. His eyes suddenly sharpened as he stared intently at the amount of mist in the bottle. When only a trace of milky white and a trace of scarlet mist remained suspended in place, he immediately made a hand seal to retrieve the purple jade bottle.
With the acquisition of the two bottles of divine substance, the light of the crimson array gradually dimmed, eventually disappearing into the void, leaving only faint traces.
Looking at the dozens of bottles full of divine substances in his hand, Chen Xuan was filled with joy, but also with a hint of doubt: "Little Tower, why did Empress Yu Rao leave a contingency plan here? Doesn't she want to rest in peace after death?"
Xiao Ta led Chen Xuan back along the same route, his tone tinged with a hint of regret:
"Before her death, Empress Yu Rao must have already foreseen that her descendants would enter this world to seek out the divine substances from the ancient immortal era to cultivate the Ninefold Immortal Qi."
"That's why she set up this great formation. On one hand, it was to protect the eternal aura of her and Lianxue. On the other hand, it was also to leave a chance for future generations—as long as the resources are not exhausted at once, every ten thousand years, this place will regenerate a considerable amount for future generations to use."
"I see." Chen Xuan suddenly understood, his gaze sweeping over the jade-like flowers covering the mountains and fields—the blossoms, some as white as porcelain, others as pale pink as the sunset, swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling tales of the ancient immortals. He couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"It's a pity that I never had the chance to meet this Jade Rao Emperor who cared so much about his descendants."
As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of a particularly beautiful Jade Flower growing beneath the rising sun atop a distant mountain peak. The flower was entirely composed of seven-colored gemstones, its petals shimmering with delicate iridescent light, and its stamen a round, nine-colored gemstone, radiating a soft glow in the morning sun. It bloomed quietly, as if waiting for a destined person to witness the magnificent path it had once accompanied.
With a thought, Chen Xuan condensed a wisp of pale golden magic power at his fingertips and moved the Jade Beauty Flower, along with several others around it, into the jade bottle. The little tower watched but did not stop him.
"It's a pity that the battle back then was too fierce. The eternal Dao traces left by the Jade Rao Imperial Clan and the Blood-Loving Ancient Ancestor were all destroyed in the battle." The little tower shook its body and said regretfully, "If the Dao traces were still there, with the secret techniques left by my master, I would definitely be able to imprint some Emperor-level Great Daos for you to comprehend."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately perked up—
Along the way, he had seen many traces of the void: some were silver-white sword marks, hanging in mid-air like solidified lightning; some were black knife marks, carrying a fierce aura that tore through the void; and there were also light red palm marks, lingering with faint Daoist charm—unfortunately, his cultivation was still shallow and he could not comprehend them.
Now that he has heard that Xiaota has the means to imprint the Great Dao, how could he not be happy?
With the two safely escaping the fragrant land, their treasure hunt has temporarily come to an end.
During the rest of the journey, whenever Chen Xuan spotted the eternal Dao trace in the void from afar, he would call out to the little tower and ask it to help him make a copy.
