167 Entering the Basin (1)

To break through the killing arrays in these nodes, other than relying on techniques, one could only wear down and exhaust the power stored in the nodes.

The cost of doing so was not small.

This was because the Array Formation counterattacked according to the attacker’s situation. Furthermore, it would exceed the attacker’s level for its counterattack to achieve a one-hit kill effect.

If one’s main body approached, their lives would be in danger. However, their clones were very weak and were far from reaching the main body’s level. Moreover, creating the clone also consumed a lot of energy. It was not something that people were willing to try out.

Especially after seeing the treasures on the outside, all the Golden Core cultivators present wanted to preserve their Nomological power to fight for more precious treasures inside.

They all tacitly watched as Song s.h.i.+ sent his clone to his death. They felt that this person only wanted to make a contribution or take advantage of his special methods to earn a Wisdom Tree.

“Foundation Establishment cultivators continue to attack from afar. Golden Core cultivators, rest on the spot and recover your Nomological power.”

Lu Jiu decisively gave the order which was according to the thoughts of the elders and disciples. At the same time, he prepared for the next step.

When he entered the ruins, he did not plan to let Foundation Establishment cultivators enter because it would be very easy for them to die there.

The other factions were also tactfully preserving their strength. However, the difference was that there was a Golden Core cultivator from the Heavenly Ghost Sect who was willing to risk his life to activate the Array Formation.

“Is this guy a fool? He’s actually working so hard.”

“Hehe, If I give you a Wisdom Tree would you be willing to work this hard?”

“Yes, but it’s a pity that I don’t have such a powerful cloning technique. Look at his clone. It feels even more powerful than his main body.”

“Who is this person? Why haven’t I seen him before?”

“I heard that it’s the infamous Blood-Robed old ghost from five hundred years ago. Look at his Dharma treasures…”

The people who had stopped to recover their Nomological power brought up Song s.h.i.+ as a topic of discussion.

Other than the top factions, there were also lower-level sects and even small sects who came to explore the ruins this time. Just like the joint trading companies, they formed factions that consisted of several smaller sects.

At a certain node, in an alliance formed by a few medium-sized sects, several Golden Core cultivators had ugly expressions.

“Tsk tsk, Brother He, it seems like your old enemy from the Vajra Sect isn’t dead yet. Are you going to attack later?”

Frost Jade Cave’s sect master sized up Song s.h.i.+ with a teasing expression as he rested.

“There’s no need for Your Excellency to worry. Everyone’s target should be the treasures in this array formation right now. Some things can be discussed in the future.”

He Yuanlu took a deep look at the Blood-Robed old ghost but did not seem to have much resentment in his gaze.

“That’s true. You’ve already held this grudge for hundreds of years after all.”

They did not pay much attention to Song s.h.i.+’s matter. Everyone’s attention quickly returned to themselves.

After three more deaths, Song s.h.i.+’s Array Formation had reached the fifth-grade. The complicated mechanisms of the Array Formation in front of him gradually became clear to him.

After ten rounds, the basic rewards ended. Song s.h.i.+’s standard was still a little lacking before he could reach the sixth-grade.

However, he had a rough understanding of the array formation of the ruins and knew how to attack it to save energy.

Song s.h.i.+ could not help but glance at the Heaven Secret Office camp and was a little surprised.

The node of this faction’s attack was actually not broken. It shouldn’t be.

Now that he had reached the fifth-grade, although he had reached it with this comprehensive Array Formation as the foundation, there was still a gap between him and the Heavenly Star Lord.

Since he knew some ways to break it, this old man should also definitely know how to break it.

“What a sly old fox.”

Song s.h.i.+ muttered in his heart and did not care.

At this moment, the Ye Family did not encounter any powerful counterattack. They were the first to break through the node and had successfully approached the medicinal field below.

“Their luck is really good. Their node is the safest.”

“It’s obvious that this used to be a normal medicinal field. I guess the original owner didn’t consider setting up any killing array.”

“It’s possible. Who would have thought that after so many years, a pile of normal herbs could give birth to a King of Medicine? Perhaps this is the power of time.”

Amidst his exclamations, the Nascent Soul of the Ye Family cupped his fists at The Heavenly Star Lord. “Heavenly Star Perfected Lord, this medicinal field should be ready to be harvested, right?”

“I’ve already helped you find the key node and saved you the trouble. You’re about to obtain benefits after breaking through the node, yet you still want to ask me?”

The Heavenly Star Lord reacted bluntly but his words were indeed reasonable.

From finding the node to reminding everyone, he had contributed and benefited all the factions greatly. No one could say otherwise.

“I was too rash. Please don’t take offense, Heavenly Star Perfected Lord. I won’t trouble you with such a small matter.”

Ye Wenzhong smiled awkwardly. He was a thin and capable old man. He was wearing a special golden-threaded ink robe that was specially made for the Ye Family. He looked very smart.

He tactfully stopped trying to take advantage of the Heavenly Star Lord and gestured to his cultivators. “Investigate again and see if there are any dangers.”

The few of them must have had some knowledge about Array Formations. They formed hand seals to check their surroundings and shook their heads.

“Patriarch Ye, there’s no more Array Formation Power nearby.”

“The node has been broken. There’s no danger within ten miles.”

“These medicinal herbs can be collected!”

They looked excitedly at the medicinal field that was dozens of acres wide. The medicinal herbs inside were lush and there were many b.u.t.terflies and bees flying around. It was filled with spiritual vitality.

Ye Wenzhong personally took a look and nodded. “I will take the King of Medicine. Xiao Bo, bring some people to collect the other herbs and get a few to keep an eye on the King of Medicine. This thing is already sentient. Don’t let it escape!”

With that, his eyes flickered and he quickly formed a seal before slapping the ground.

“Golden Stone Art!”

Under his hand, a golden light quickly spread. The soil on the ground seemed to have been dyed and turned golden, looking like there was gold everywhere.

“I never thought the Ye Family Head would be versed in such a unique spell. I’ve heard it’s the bane of the Earth Escape Spell.””

“Indeed, it is. This spell turns the ground into something akin to solid metal. Do you honestly believe the Earth Escape Spell stands a chance against it?”
