Chapter 771 - 674: Top Quality Achieved, Completely Clueless

"Yes, I understand."

"Take these Recovery Spirit Pills and personally deliver them to Peak Master Liu Xuan of Chiyu Peak in a bit!"

Yang Chan nodded, then took out several bottles of Recovery Spirit Pills.

He had previously sent Han Bingyu to Chiyu Peak. Liu Xuan and the others had hoped he would help them refine some Recovery Spirit Pills and even sent over some Spiritual Materials.

Now that the refining was complete, the elixirs for the Merak Saintess had already been taken away by Gu An. As for the elixirs for Chiyu Peak, he was having Han Bingyu handle them personally.

He had wanted Han Bingyu to be in charge before, and that hadn’t changed. This would have Chiyu Peak deal with her directly, and it would also let others know that Han Bingyu was his representative. It was his way of backing her up and helping her continue to expand her intelligence network within the Merak Sacred Land.

Prestige had to be built up bit by bit, and right now, Yang Chan was helping Han Bingyu do just that.

This was especially true at a time like this, as it would speed up the process even more.

"Alright, I’ll deliver them personally in a moment!"

Hearing this, Han Bingyu quickly nodded in agreement.

"Is there anything else?"

Yang Chan looked at Han Bingyu and asked.

"Should some of our people join the first group entering the Demon Cave?"

Han Bingyu wasn’t sure what Yang Chan was thinking, so she asked.

To get firsthand intelligence from the Demon Cave, they would need to send someone with the first group. These people generally didn’t have high cultivation, and Han Bingyu happened to have suitable candidates.

However, it was hard to say whether they could even send any intelligence back. After all, they might not even survive.

"There’s no need!"

Yang Chan shook his head.

"The situation in the Demon Cave is the same as before. It’s fine to just gather information about it. A little delay doesn’t matter."

Since he wasn’t going into the Demon Cave himself, there was no need to rush for firsthand intelligence.

For Yang Chan, a slight delay was no problem at all.

He didn’t need it to be timely. As long as he could confirm that the Earth Demons in the Demon Cave wouldn’t charge out and reach the Holy Mountain, that was enough.

Nothing else had much of an impact on him.

"Alright, then there’s nothing else!"

"I’ll head to Chiyu Peak now!"

Han Bingyu nodded in understanding, took Yang Chan’s Recovery Spirit Pills, and left immediately.

When it came to work, Han Bingyu never dawdled; she was very efficient.

"The fact that the Earth Demon Alien Race in the Demon Cave has been able to hold out against the Merak Sacred Land for so long must mean they’re not simple!"

"The Merak Sacred Land must have prepared some trick. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made these arrangements!"

The Black Dragon’s Soul Body floated out of the Profound Yin Hanging Bead, landed on Yang Chan’s desk, and began to speak slowly.

During this time, he had read many books on arrays, especially focusing his research on the array knowledge related to the Bloodline Sacrifice Array and the Cross-Realm Teleportation Array.

"The Merak Sacred Land has existed for so long. Who knows how many large Secret Realms they’ve entered and how many benefits they’ve obtained."

"All of that is their foundation. They’re moving against the Earth Demon Alien Race in the Demon Cave now probably because they feel the time is right!"

"That incomplete Bloodline Sacrifice Array was probably just a trigger!"

Yang Chan glanced at the Black Dragon and said slowly.

He didn’t believe the higher-ups of the Merak Sacred Land would be so hasty. It was far more likely they had been planning this for a long time, and the appearance of the Bloodline Sacrifice Array was just the fuse that ignited their plans.

Besides, even though they had discovered a Bloodline Sacrifice Array, there was no guarantee the Earth Demon Alien Race in the depths of the Demon Cave wasn’t also setting up such a Grand Array, hoping to find experts from their own bloodline to cross realms into the Taiyu Divine Continent and destroy the Merak Sacred Land.

That wasn’t an impossibility.

So the Merak Sacred Land’s current arrangement was meant to completely annihilate the Earth Demon Alien Race and eliminate this potential threat.

"So, how has your research on arrays been going lately?"

Yang Chan asked the Black Dragon about the matter of arrays.

Array knowledge was difficult to learn. It required long-term accumulation and a certain degree of talent to achieve anything.

If it were an ordinary person, Yang Chan naturally wouldn’t have had any expectations.

But considering this was the Black Dragon—a being once regarded as a Divine Spirit, an existence that roamed unchallenged beneath the level of a True God—it was possible he could master arrays.

So naturally, he held a little bit of anticipation.

"Of the ten apertures of wisdom, I’ve opened nine!"

The Black Dragon’s Soul Body flopped onto the table. "Of the ten apertures of wisdom, I’ve opened nine!" he said slowly.

"So you’re completely clueless, then!"

"I really overestimated you!"

Yang Chan naturally understood what he meant, and a flash of disappointment crossed his eyes.

The Black Dragon had studied the Taixuan Sacrifice Array for a long time just to get to that point. Considering how little time he’d spent studying arrays recently, Yang Chan could have guessed as much.

It was the Black Dragon’s former status that had made him harbor a sliver of hope.

"You know as well as I do, array knowledge is really difficult!"

"I’ve been studying every day, poring over all this array knowledge, but when multiple arrays are combined, all that knowledge just turns into a pile of mush in my head! I can’t make sense of it at all!"

"I even tried studying them separately, but that didn’t work either."

"This is meticulous, slow work. It’s hard to achieve anything in a short amount of time!"

"Who knows when I’ll ever be able to set up complex arrays like the Bloodline Sacrifice Array or the Cross-Realm Teleportation Array!"

It wasn’t that the Black Dragon hadn’t tried. He desperately wanted to leave the Taiyu Divine Continent and go to a Cultivation World with a Divine Vein. This desire of his was far, far stronger than Yang Chan’s.

But learning array knowledge was even more difficult than he had anticipated.

Setting up the Taixuan Sacrifice Array before had already taken his Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Strength. Now, with complex arrays like the Bloodline Sacrifice Array and the Cross-Realm Teleportation Array, the amount of knowledge required was even greater.

It was like asking a primary school student to research nuclear weapons—completely incomprehensible.

This situation had left the Black Dragon feeling a bit discouraged.

"If you can’t master it now, don’t worry. Just take your time."

"We still have plenty of time!"

"Besides, if the Earth Demon Alien Race in the Demon Cave has set something up, maybe there’s a Bloodline Sacrifice Array inside."

"You might not be able to do it, but the Array Masters from the Merak Sacred Land can!"

Yang Chan offered a few words of comfort upon seeing the Black Dragon’s state.

’I’m already so busy; I can’t let the Black Dragon just give up. I have to give him more opportunities and motivate him.’

’Although I’m not in a hurry to leave the Taiyu Divine Continent right now, it’s always good to be prepared.’

"You’re right, Master. I shouldn’t give up!"

"Even if the Merak Sacred Land doesn’t have one, when a large Secret Realm appears in the future, we can enter it. Maybe we’ll find a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array there!"

Hearing this, the Black Dragon quickly sat up, his confidence somewhat restored.

He had only been acting this way because studying all that array knowledge recently had been such a blow to him.

That was why Yang Chan’s reminder helped him recover so quickly.

"That’s right. When my cultivation rises in the future, I can enter those Secret Realms to search for a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array!"

Yang Chan nodded as well.

’When my Martial Arts Cultivation becomes difficult to advance and my Cultivation Resources run short, I’ll have no choice but to set my sights on those large Secret Realms.’

’At the same time, I’ll also have to find a way to leave the Taiyu Divine Continent.’

’After all, if I want to go further, I naturally have to travel to a world more suitable for cultivation.’

’It’s just like when I left the Cyan Yuan Sect for the Merak Sacred Land. When my environment can no longer support me, I have to find a new one to continue growing rapidly.’

’On the path of Martial Arts Cultivation, I naturally want to walk to the very end and see the splendor that lies there.’

"Master, you should also pay close attention to this matter with the Earth Demon Alien Race in the Demon Cave. If there really is a Bloodline Sacrifice Array, perhaps we can use it in the future to travel to those Cultivation Worlds that have a Divine Vein!"

The Black Dragon had now become even more interested in the Demon Cave.

After all, it was a place that might contain a complete Bloodline Sacrifice Array.

Compared to other unknown locations, the probability of finding one here was much higher.

If there was an incomplete one, there might be a complete one.

As for having Yang Chan enter, the Black Dragon looked at him and knew he wouldn’t go in. Besides, he also knew there were Earth Demon Alien Races at the Blood Exchange Level in the Demon Cave, and he felt such a risk was unnecessary.

After all, if Yang Chan encountered danger, the Black Dragon would inevitably be the one to face it first, so he wasn’t in such a hurry at the moment.
