Chapter 2164: Chapter 2110–2111: Requesting Aid, Treasure – Two Diagrams Map
“These Eight Directions World are interconnected, absorbing each other’s strength. It’s not possible to break the array just by conquering one side,” Thunder Fire Taoist expressed his thoughts, then shared a more shocking matter: “This reminds me of an event related to our Ancestral Master.”
“Ancestral Master!”
“Longevity Taoist Monarch!”
Water and Fire Taoist and Fire Emperor’s face changed at the mention, as they naturally knew who the Ancestral Master referred to.
Whether they’re from the Taoist Academy or powerful figures from the Shenxiao Sect, they clearly revered Pei Xuanjing as the Ancestral Master. The Ancestral Master they refer to would only be Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing.
The fact that this Eight Trigrams Array could relate to Longevity Taoist Monarch seems overly exaggerated.
The name and shadow of Pei Xuanjing, acknowledged as the strongest in the Realms of Heavenly Seas, were naturally self-evident. Even a trivial matter associated with him was enough for True Immortals and Taoist Monarchs to regard seriously, let alone them.
“Back when the Ancestral Master was creating the Sword Path, he once created a sword move based on Eight Trigrams, where eight illusionary spaces complemented each other. This move could confront multiple opponents of the same Realm, and unless one could break these spaces, they remained undefeated,” Thunder Fire Taoist spoke slowly.
As a cultivator of Pei Xuanjing’s Sword Path, he naturally understood all of Pei Xuanjing’s experiences in swordsmanship, especially the Sword Path Pei Xuanjing developed from melting different schools, which remained unbeatable even in today’s prosperous era.
After the previous encounter, Thunder Sword True Person naturally recalled that move, where the Eight Trigrams interconnected endlessly, making it not easy to break.
Outside the main hall of the Taoist Academy, Qingyang Zi was calmly meditating when the instructor who had recommended Thunder Sword True Person appeared with Thunder Sword Taoist in front of him. At this moment, Thunder Sword True Person no longer had his initial high spirits, looking rather dejected.
“Have you managed to retrieve Feng Leizi’s Divine Soul yet?” Qingyang Zi asked with an unchanged expression. He had long anticipated this outcome, for everything was within his control. His eyes were deep, gazing at the instructor as if directly piercing into them like a divine sword.
“Reporting to Vice Institute Master, we have failed!” the instructor bowed his head, speaking in a slightly weak voice.
“The eight Taoists from Dayan Sect joined forces to set up an Absolute Array, evolving the Eight Directions World, terrifyingly containing a thread of Heavenly Earthly Force. Even if a True Immortal descends, it requires slow interpretation to break it. As I was powerless, I could only withdraw, seeking the Dean to find a method of breaking the array to save Junior Feng Lei from the disaster,” Thunder Sword True Person stood firm, speaking unwillingly.
He normally had a strong and unyielding character and hardly ever suffered much. Even when facing his own Dean, he showed no signs of nervousness.
This Eight Trigrams Divine Array was seamless, integrated into one. Now, anyone wanting to break it would have to face the power of eight divine arrays. Not to mention Thunder Sword True Person, even some True Immortals would be cautious.
Qingyang Zi understood this reasoning too and didn’t blame the other party for anything.
Indeed, this Eight Trigrams Divine Array still required the collective effort of these people to be broken.
“I have already dispatched people to study this array. The Eight Trigrams World form a complete Heaven and Earth, interlinking endlessly. To crack it, one must use an array to break another array,” Qingyang Zi said.
Although he hadn’t gone personally, he roughly understood the situation in Fire God City based on the available information, which aligned with Thunder Sword Taoist’s account.
The Eight Trigrams Divine Array self-formed worlds that interconnected and absorbed Heavenly Earthly Force, making it difficult to break. He recognized that, even for a True Immortal, breaking it with pure force was challenging.
The optimal choice for truly breaking it was indeed with an array to break the array. Initially laying down the Nine Palace Golden Lock Formation to seal the surrounding heavens would offer a chance to dismantle the Absolute Array.
“That’s what I also thought. I’ve come here seeking the teacher’s recommendation of several senior disciples,” Thunder Sword Taoist spoke. At this moment, he addressed him directly as ‘teacher,’ no longer as Vice Institute Master.
His term ‘teacher’ did not come unexpectedly, as Qingyang Zi had taught him during his studies at the Taoist Academy, and he hadn’t left the academy yet.
“Ah, you!” Qingyang Zi looked at him, unable to suppress a smile.
Who said those cultivating the Sword Path are all straightforward, uncompromising people? Looking at this Thunder Sword True Person, he clearly understood how to adapt.
“But, while breaking the array is important, it’s not the priority. Currently, the urgent matter is to first retrieve Feng Leizi’s Divine Soul,” Qingyang Zi remarked thoughtfully.
The situation of the Eight Trigrams Divine Array besieging Fire God City, even if prolonged by the opponent, did not affect the big picture. For Fire God City, or even the Fire Emperor Divine Dynasty, it wasn’t a pressing concern.
But the capture of Wind and Thunder Master’s Divine Soul by the adversary was crucial, as the Divine Soul is the essence of a cultivator. If delayed for too long, even if retrieved, it might falter.
So recapturing the Divine Soul quickly should be the priority.
“Take this Two Diagrams Map with you, and use it to seize back Feng Leizi’s Divine Soul,” Qingyang Zi waved gently, letting the Immortal Artifact Two Diagrams Map appear before Thunder Sword True Person.
The Two Diagrams Map was Qingyang Zi’s Tao Certifying Immortal Artifact, forged on the principles of Yin and Yang. It should be considered a powerful Immortal Artifact, though not at the pinnacle level.
