Chapter 442 - 443: One More Semi-Saint

Zheng Qiushan’s face was completely stiff.

He had seen it with his own eyes, but he couldn’t believe them.

He even suspected something was wrong with his vision.

Everyone else present also began to wonder if their eyes were deceiving them.

"Young Master Su must have used some kind of Transfer Technique, right?"

"I don’t know!"

"Why don’t we just ask him?"

"If Young Master Su is willing to teach us that Transfer Technique he just used, we’ll be able to escape safely from tricky Arrays in the future too."

Patriarch Zhao approached Su Mo and asked respectfully, "Young Master Su, could you teach that Transfer Technique you just used to a few of us?"

"What Transfer Technique?"

Su Mo asked, confused.

His True Dragon Supreme Body Technique could indeed teleport, but that was really just a product of extreme speed, not some Transfer Technique.

"The Secret Technique you used to transfer yourself out of the Nine Stars Falling Array!"

Patriarch Zhao said with an obsequious smile.

Su Mo shook his head. "I just walked out. It wasn’t a Transfer Technique, and I don’t know any."

"This..."

Patriarch Zhao tactfully backed away.

’He has only known us for a few hours; we aren’t even casual acquaintances. Why would he teach us such a terrifying Secret Technique? If it were me, I wouldn’t teach it to anyone either.’

Patriarch Lan said, "Since Young Master Su is unwilling to teach us the Transfer Technique, let’s not force the issue!"

"We can talk about it again if the opportunity arises!"

Yu Tie agreed.

Hearing their conversation, Su Mo’s face turned pale.

’How am I being unwilling to teach? What on earth are these guys imagining?’

To clear up their misunderstanding, Su Mo had no choice but to tell them the truth. "The reason I could walk out is that I saw through the Array."

"Saw through the Array?"

Patriarch Zhao, Patriarch Lan, and the others frowned deeply.

Zheng Qiushan said coldly, "Hmph. Even if you were a Tier Ten Saint-level Array Master, you couldn’t possibly see through the Nine Stars Falling Array at a glance."

"Not only did I see through it, but I can also break it in an instant," Su Mo said calmly.

Zheng Qiushan shot Su Mo a sideways glance.

’Would it kill him to stop bragging?’

The Nine Stars Falling Array was a Tenth Rank Saint Level Array. Even if the Array Master who originally set it up came here in person, he couldn’t possibly break it instantly.

Even a Divine-level Array Master might not be able to do it.

Su Mo glanced at Zheng Qiushan. "Why would I lie to you? You don’t believe me, is that it? Fine, then. I’ll give you a demonstration."

With that, Su Mo raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

BOOM!

The Nine Stars Falling Array, which had been glittering with starlight, instantly collapsed.

Su Mo asked, "Now do you believe me?"

GULP!

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

’What just happened? He broke a Saint-level Array with just a snap of his fingers? Is he even human?’

Patriarch Lan stammered, "Could it be... Young Master Su, are you a Divine-level Array Master?"

"I suppose so!" Su Mo answered ambiguously.

Without the enhancement of Divine Power, he didn’t know if he truly was a Divine-level Array Master.

However, he was several times more powerful than a Saint-level Array Master.

After all, back when he was in the Martial Master Realm, he could already set up a Tenth Rank Saint Level Array.

HISS...

Everyone present sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

A Divine-level Array Master.

This was the first time they had ever seen one.

Besides Su Mo, there were probably no other Divine-level Array Masters in the entire Cangxuan Realm.

"Oh no! The King of Reincarnation’s grandson is a Divine-level Array Master! Everyone, run!" a disciple cried out in terror.

The two words "Divine Level" had scared him out of his wits.

SLAP!

Zheng Qiushan slapped the fleeing disciple and roared, "Don’t spout such damn nonsense! Young Master Su is not the King of Reincarnation’s grandson."

’The King of Reincarnation is only at the Saint Level. How could he possibly train a Divine-level Array Master? It’s obviously impossible!’

Zheng Qiushan said respectfully, "Young Master Su, I misunderstood you just now. Please forgive me."

"As long as the misunderstanding is cleared up!" Su Mo asked, "I’d like to see your Sect Leader. Could you lead the way?"

Zheng Qiushan hesitated. "Well... to be honest, our Sect Leader is in seclusion for his Cultivation. He cannot be rashly disturbed. I can only ask you to wait."

"Alright!"

Su Mo reluctantly agreed.

Now that the misunderstanding was finally resolved, he didn’t want any conflict with them. He could only stay at the Meteor Sect for now and wait for their leader to emerge.

「Meanwhile...」

In a secret chamber of the Meteor Sect, the Fallen Star Sect Master said, "Everyone, let’s push a little harder. Keep pouring power into the Eighth Elder and get him to the Half-Saint Realm as quickly as possible."

"Yes!"

The seven great elders frantically poured their power into the Eighth Elder.

CRACK!

Before long, the sound of a barrier shattering echoed from within Elder Duan’s body. He had broken through to the Half-Saint Realm.

"He succeeded!" the Fallen Star Sect Master exclaimed in delight.

The Grand Elder said excitedly, "Now, our Meteor Sect has another Semi-Saint! Our chances of killing the King of Reincarnation have increased."

"Thank you, Sect Leader!" the Eighth Elder said gratefully.

The Fallen Star Sect Master waved his hand. "No need to thank us. Compared to what we’ve given, your sacrifice is the greatest. You have severed your path to the Saint Level."

While this power infusion granted strength, it also severely depleted one’s lifespan and cut off any future path of advancement.

From now on, even if he encountered a heaven-defying opportunity, it would be difficult for him to break through again.

The Eighth Elder gave a bitter smile, forcing himself to rally his spirits. "For the continuation of the Sect, any sacrifice is worth it. It is only death, after all."

"Since time immemorial, who has escaped death? All that matters is leaving behind a loyal heart for the annals of history."

The Fallen Star Sect Master sighed. "Alas, this was our only option. Old Eighth, if you have any last wishes, tell me. I will do everything in my power to fulfill them."

"I have only one wish. When we kill the King of Reincarnation, let me be the one to personally end him and crush his head," the Eighth Elder said in a chilling voice.

"Good!"

The Fallen Star Sect Master agreed without hesitation and rose to his feet. "While our Meteor Sect has been sealed, many major events must have occurred in Meteor City. It’s possible the families of Meteor City have all defected to the King of Reincarnation. Let’s go out and see."

"Whoever defected, I will kill them!" the Eighth Elder said coldly.

Just as they stepped out of the secret chamber, the Eighth Elder asked, "Sect Leader, do you notice anything amiss?"

"No, isn’t our Meteor Sect perfectly fine?" The Fallen Star Sect Master said, shaking his head.

The Grand Elder added, "There are a few disciples cultivating over there, and everyone else is orderly. Nothing seems out of place."

"But... our Meteor Sect’s Sect Protection Array is gone," the Eighth Elder said hesitantly.

What?

The Sect Protection Array is gone?

The Grand Elder exclaimed in shock, "Impossible! Our Sect Protection Array is a Tier Ten Saint-level Array passed down from our ancestors. Who could possibly break it?"

"The Eighth Elder must have sensed it wrong."

The Second Elder comforted, "But it’s understandable. After all, the Eighth Elder has just gained the power of a Semi-Saint. Not only is he not used to it, but his mind is also in a dazed and highly tense state."

"Right!"

The Grand Elder agreed. "And taking a huge step back, even if the Sect Protection Array was broken, there should still be some residual power. It couldn’t just vanish."

The Eighth Elder retorted, "But what if I didn’t sense it wrong?"
