Episode 85

  The massive array suddenly increased its power, several times stronger than before!

  The originally pitch-black grand hall was now surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors, an otherworldly beauty! The eight trigrams giant ball floating in the air in the great stone hall emitted dazzling seven-colored lights. Inside, the insufficient one was already invisible, only his spirit could condense and emit a strange "ga ga" sound. The insufficient one gritted his teeth tightly, although his limbs were in extreme pain, he didn't utter a word. The massive energy gathered inside and outside his body did not dissipate, but instead grew more intense, as if it was about to solidify. Finally, the energy outside his body gradually accumulated like a mountain, and became increasingly dense. Its power tightly squeezed the insufficient one's entire body, as if every inch of his skin had a million tons of force on it. His body gradually collapsed, shrinking like a cotton ball! At first, he was like a young man in stature, but soon he was like a child, and his body continued to shrink, becoming smaller and smaller, until he looked like an infant, except that his skin was not the crystal clear complexion of an infant, but rather a dark, eerie black with a hint of red blood. A mouthful of fresh blood surged out, but it was compressed and couldn't be spat out!

  "Could it be that I'm really going to die this time?! No! Since ancient times, the heavens have never cut off a person's path, there must be a way to escape the predicament! Only by calming my mind and thinking, will I find a solution! Calm my mind! Calm my mind! Calm my mind......"

  Insufficiency gradually bewilders the mind, and past events flash by like a phantom. The fleeing life of childhood, the tragic slaughter of his mother, the miserable death of his ancestors, and the perilous return with Chang'er... scene after scene, dreamlike, illusory, yet real! His heart is also struggling in pain, as if the heart's pain surpasses the physical suffering!

  "Survival or death, in an instant! I swear to live on! Family feud not avenged! Qinger has no one to protect her! At this moment, I must firm up my will, endure what ordinary people cannot, and hold onto a glimmer of hope. Live on! Live on! ······"

  At this time, the tremendous energy inside and outside his body was bursting with an overwhelming desire to explode!

  Caw caw caw!

  The sound of the body's bones shrinking grew louder and louder. The next moment, just the next moment, when it had shrunk to its limit, it would surely burst open violently! At that time, even the Great Luo Golden Immortal would be unable to save him!

  "Ah! Are you done yet?"

  Suddenly calm down from being insufficient.

  "If you want to die, then die! What's the joy of living? What's the sorrow of dying? Human affairs are hard to achieve perfection. Even if revenge is not taken and loved ones cannot be protected, what can't be done in the cycle of life and death? Why worry about tomorrow?"

  At this quiet and peaceful moment, a sudden flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

  "His whole body was swollen and about to burst, why were his eyes... Ah yes, his eyes! Those ordinary human eyes! Those eyes that didn't show any divine consciousness were perfectly fine!"

  Insufficiently, he suddenly activated his killing technique, slowly drawing the divine energy from within and outside his body into his eyes. At first, it was just a tiny bit, very weak, but as the energy approached the eye sockets, it suddenly entered, and the eye sockets showed no abnormalities! Insufficiency was overjoyed, this time it was a surprise!

  Insufficient, dare not make a big move, only re-ignite the movement of a strand of yuan force into the eye hole, still flying in as before, no different movement! It's like a drop of water entering the vast ocean, without any ripples! Insufficient carefulness to guide the movement of a thread of yuan force, the energy source is constantly flowing in, but the eye hole still has no abnormality, as if a fine stream flows into the ocean, naturally and smoothly! Insufficient to be greatly relieved! The accumulated yuan force outside the body like a mountain, guided by the Taiyi Xuan Shen Jue's special ability, enters the body, and then enters the double-eye hole. The eye hole is like an endless deep abyss, suddenly opening the floodgate, the huge energy surges in like a raging torrent. Only two or three hours later, the pain and itching of the bones can be tolerated!

  Everyone in the grand hall was extremely surprised! Seeing that the core of this mysterious array is about to perish, but unexpectedly there has been a turn for the better! It's really like being lost in the mountains and rivers with no way out, only to find another village after the willows and flowers bloom. Upon careful consideration, however, it's still unclear why this happened.

  "The ambassador has made a great move, and this puppet has actually passed this level! But why is that?"

  "Hmm, this... I don't understand either. Perhaps he suddenly had an epiphany, or maybe his fate wasn't meant to be cut off!"

  As soon as this was said, all the monks fell silent. If that man's life was not destined to be cut off, then whose life would be?

  "Haha! Anyway, its physical body has been tempered to perfection, and it will enter the eighteen hells to temper its spirit. When its spirit becomes a chaotic image, our mission will be accomplished. We just need to wait for the master to bestow upon us the supreme treasure, and we will successfully cultivate against heaven and enter the upper realm, becoming an immortal sage that will last for ten thousand years! With our current divine powers, are we afraid of this little scoundrel in the refining body period?"

  Ip Man saw that everyone's heart was filled with fear, and although he himself felt uneasy, he thought to himself: "Tonight is the night, how can we give up halfway?" He then smiled and said.

  "True indeed! It's enough to make us jump in surprise! With this child's abilities, he can be considered a remarkable person! Haha...!"

  The insufficient physical body will gradually disappear as the spirit grows, just like a child growing up, gradually getting bigger and stronger until it returns to its original state. At this time, if one's practice is not sufficient, they will inadvertently release their five senses externally, trying to use this method to temper their consciousness and strengthen the power of their five senses. However, they will be unable to solidify their true self, and thus cannot attain the realm of the Dharma body.

  "This time, I must first settle the matter of my true self, and then speak of the realm of the Dharma body. Once in the realm of the Dharma body, the sky is high and I can fly wherever I want, the sea is vast and I can roam freely - isn't that delightful? However, this Master has been hammering away at me, which is a great blessing from Heaven, so why is he hiding and sneaking around like he's ashamed to be seen? Moreover, in teaching me, how could it have come to this? Grandfather once taught me that in all things, I must first consider them with the heart of a small person, otherwise, I will surely encounter great disaster! This matter has a hint of strangeness about it, and cannot be ignored!"

  "The Envoy's cultivation is impressive, this puppet is the only one I've ever seen in my life! To be able to withstand such a massive power with ease, it's truly astonishing! However, what's special about this child that allows him to accept the divine energy of such magnitude? If we delve deeper, perhaps there's something to gain. We've been cultivating for years, but have reached a bottleneck, unable to break through... "

  "Hmph! Don't harbor any other thoughts! Put away your mind of cherishing talent early on! This core of the mysterious array, the lord has been searching for it for nearly a thousand years without obtaining it. Who dares to have any other thoughts? Originally, the lord heard that he wanted to come here in person, but coincidentally encountered a difficult problem with the core law array and couldn't escape. So, we can only wait until our task is complete before returning! You've spoken of this matter three times, could it be that you have other intentions? I'm also warning you for the third time, don't think that there won't be consequences! Otherwise... Hmph!"

  "The messenger misunderstood, how dare I have other thoughts! Everything will be done according to the master's orders!" Ye Wentian replied with a yes and a nod.

  Insufficient in the formation of the law, sitting like a constant. Although the power of the law formation is more powerful than before, its expression has not changed at all! The huge ball of light from the law formation was like a crimson flame, and from afar it seemed to be burning fiercely, but when one approached, who dared to open their eyes for a closer look?

  "The messenger's grand repair, this mysterious core's body is forging a great array. We have also seen it for the first time, its mighty power is truly breathtaking! However, at this moment the giant ball is burning, what about the puppet inside? Our eyes can't see it anymore!"

  "This, even I can hardly see clearly, only seeing him sitting upright as usual, yet actually cultivating quietly within, truly a great wonder!"

  Opening his eyes insufficiently, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

  "Can actually hear the voices of people outside the formation! Is it that someone's divine sense is stronger or does this formation need to stop?"

  While listening to the voices of outsiders, I carefully studied this formation. This formation is incredibly mysterious and extraordinary! With my limited knowledge of ancient and modern formation law books, I couldn't see even a hint of the secrets of this formation. The ring-shaped formations are interconnected with threads of divine light, entwining and communicating with each other, making the entire large formation seem like a single entity. I barely used my eyes to observe the subtle details of this formation!

  "When nearly a hundred large arrays communicate up and down, left and right, tens of thousands of basic arrays form a huge array! Good heavens! It's truly unimaginable! Unbelievable! Is this really the formation diagram of the mortal world? Even if an ordinary cultivator has all sorts of great abilities, how can they construct such an array?! Against heaven! Against heaven! Only 'against heaven' can be used to describe it!"

  In a moment of inattention, he suddenly furrowed his brow and then concentrated all his energy to gaze at the formation again. To his surprise, it began to move, clearly visible before his eyes like a giant network of veins. The flowing substance within was the divine power of heaven and earth, as vast as mountains and seas, while his own body was located in the midst of this giant's meridian. The immense energy surged forth, pouring into his bones, with the remaining force flowing back into the various elements of the large formation.

  "Heavens! The brilliance of this formation is indeed simplicity itself! If it weren't for its unbroken and endless flow, our household would have been annihilated long ago!"

  "The messenger is exhausted, we really have no more strength to urge this array! What to do?"

  Suddenly, the sound of his repair reached the ears that were insufficient.

  "Hmm! I'm exhausted too! Where is the hidden envoy? Hurry up and enter the formation!"

  This is the voice of the great messenger's repair.

  "Yes!"

  Insufficient to raise one's eyes and look out at the large formation, eight masked monks flew into the formation and landed on top of a small stone house, carefully exchanging positions with the original cultivators to control the large formation. Their master, Ye Qitian, was spiritually exhausted, his face pale yellow, and he was about to swallow several immortal pellets in his hand, silently meditating to recover his energy.

  After another period of time, the messenger suddenly turned his head and asked Ye Qiantian:

  "How many times has the Kyogreite been exchanged?"

  "It's already been over a dozen times that I've gone back for repairs! It's far exceeded the Lord's predictions! And it's also been more than half a day!"

  "Hmm! This is indeed greatly different!"
