Chapter 1286 - 1286: The Clone Offers a Solution

No way forward or backward, surrounded by hills and shrubs on all sides, and above and below is the loathsome swamp.

If no solution is found within the next ten minutes, both Liu Zixuan and Luo Xi will be swallowed by the swamp; perhaps years later, once everything is dried by the wind, they will become statues standing here.

Seeing Luo Xi's anxious expression, Liu Zixuan frowned and began to ponder deeply.

These originally lifeless things can move, forming not a complete prison.

There are probably only two possibilities.

Firstly, some powerful being from the Ancient Times set up a strong array here, causing anyone who steps in to face such a predicament.

Secondly, it is not artificial but, as the Nine-fingered Blade Demon said, it is a weak point in the relic. Everything is lifeless, but when living beings step inside, the gravity of the Earth Core or some kind of powerful black hole magnetic field causes these lifeless things to move, trapping living beings within.

Liu Zixuan doesn't know if it is artificial or natural, but he feels that as long as he finds the common point between the two, he can find a way to break the trap.

He quickly shared his thoughts with Luo Xi: "What do you think is the common point between them?"

Luo Xi's lips moved a few times: "If you're talking about common points, there are probably many."

"Many?" Liu Zixuan scratched his head. If there were many, he wouldn't have asked Luo Xi. He couldn't help but think how different male and female thinking is when facing things.

"Regardless of whether it's an artificial array or a natural magnetic field, at least these lifeless things are the same." Luo Xi gave a bitter smile and spread her hands: "But the problem is, as you just said, these lifeless things seem to have moved here, but outside there are still endless lifeless things. It's impossible to break through."

"It's not impossible to break through, but breaking them would be a waste of effort and not the root of the problem." Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead: "What other common points are there?"

"I don't know if my guess is correct. I think whether it's an array or a black hole magnetic field, they should have some common principles. You're proficient in arrays, think carefully, is there any array that can move lifeless things and form such a prison?"

Liu Zixuan took several drags on his cigarette, and his mind began to operate quickly.

It is known that arrays in the secular world are often seen on battlefields in ancient Battle Arrays, mainly involving cold weapons, and since the troops weren't identical, they would set up some battle arrays, using the warriors' battle intent and tacit cooperation to achieve the effect of defeating many with few.

But those arrays like the serpentine formation, etc., are different from the arrays used by martial artists like Liu Zixuan and the others.

Because the arrays used by martial artists do not use people as the array base but use some kind of treasure.

This point must be traced back to the Ancient Times of the Primordial Chaos.

In the Ancient Times, many powerful beings could set arrays using certain treasures, and even using a simple array to mobilize the Power of Heaven and Earth, the attack effect of the array was enough to shake heaven and earth!

For instance, the Immortal Slaying Array in the Investiture of the Gods, made using several Supreme Treasure Swords as the array base, activating the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and Primordial Chaos Qi to form a Grand Array capable of killing True Immortal Level beings.

Even though it's in a mythological story, it's enough to demonstrate the formidable nature of such arrays.

Of course, as the years went by and times progressed, these arrays became even more perfect.

In later generations, many historical figures incorporated more magical things into arrays, like the all-encompassing Eight Trigrams.

Starting the array with the Eight Trigrams is like its principle: one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things.

And along with the Eight Trigrams, there is also the Magic of Qimen Dunjia.

Qimen Dunjia, as recorded in some history books, is created by Zhuge Liang.

Thinking of this, Liu Zixuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

The common point between arrays and black hole magnetic fields is that they both rely on surrounding lifeless things to form a predicament for Liu Zixuan and Luo Xi.

And the common point here can borrow the Magic of Qimen Dunjia.

Heaven and Earth create all things, everything has mutual generation and restriction, even those naturally formed things must have their restraining elements.

Even if it is a black hole magnetic field, as long as you find the corresponding Magic Technique from Qimen Dunjia, you can still break it!

"Qi refers to: Yi, Bing, Ding three Qi; Men refers to: Kai, Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Si, Jing Eight Gates. And Dun Jia is: Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui Six Jia and Six Dun."

Listening to Liu Zixuan's murmurs, Luo Xi bewilderedly opened her mouth: "What are you talking about?"

Liu Zixuan waved his hand: "Don't speak!"

Luo Xi pouted; she didn't understand what Liu Zixuan was saying but knew he was figuring out how to break it, so she stopped talking.

In fact, Liu Zixuan had already thought about how to break the predicament before him through Qimen Dunjia, but that wasn't enough.

Simply breaking the predicament before him would only allow them to escape this prison, but another one would quickly form. Although knowing the breaking method, if it is prolonged, the inner strength and physical strength would be too consumed, leaving them powerless to face unknown or known enemies upon reaching their destination.

Therefore, he must think of another way to, after breaking this predicament, reach the destination without much effort.

"It seems your brain isn't quite up to the task!" At this moment, the clone inside the Relic Pearl tauntingly remarked.

Liu Zixuan retorted irritably: "Stop talking nonsense; if you know something, just say it."

His sudden outburst startled Luo Xi beside him, thinking about figuring things out but why the sudden street rant.

The clone laughed: "You just mentioned finding the common points between arrays and black hole magnetic fields, meaning Qimen Dunjia magic can break the predicament, but you also considered another possibility before."

"You mean these natural dangers?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow.

"Right, to put it plainly, this place is desolate, whether artificial or natural, it aims to trap living beings here, turning them all into lifeless things. So if you two become lifeless things, wouldn't you be able to pass through?" the clone laughed.

Several black lines appeared on Liu Zixuan's forehead: "Damn it, what kind of shitty idea is this? How are we two living people supposed to become lifeless things?"

"Becoming lifeless things directly is obviously impossible, but you can enter the Relic Mini World!" the clone spread his hands.

Liu Zixuan's eyes lit up, but then darkened again: "But if we both enter the Relic Mini World, who would carry the Relic Pearl to the other side?"

"Are you stupid or something!" the clone retorted irritably: "The Xuanyuan Sword is almost completely fused now, with Sword Intent and Sword Spirit. Just use mind manipulation to let it carry the Relic Pearl to the other side."

Liu Zixuan slapped his forehead: "How could I forget about that!"
