Episode 140

  In a certain place, there is a lake that is not very large. Its water is clear and transparent, with no fish in it. In the water, slender green grass sways gently, and you can see that there is living water flowing into it from above, which is why the water flows and the grass moves. The surrounding area of the lake slopes gently in all four directions, with small hills covered in lush grass, and flowers and trees along the path, forming a dense forest inside. The interior is deep and secluded. Above the lake, the sky is a profound blue without clouds, and the light from above and below is connected, quiet and soundless.

  Suddenly, in the distant sky, a brilliant golden light burst forth. In an instant, a single golden trumpet-shaped flower bloomed, without branches or leaves, only this flower bursting into bloom. At the center of the flower, a deep and mysterious place, a dazzling golden light emerged from its mouth, piercing through heaven and earth. The flower seemed to have reached its peak, humming loudly, with a deafening roar. One stamen suddenly lengthened, stretching out of the flower, and exploded with a loud crash. A fireball rolled out, spinning downwards. Behind it, a fiery dragon chased after, mere yards away, but ultimately unable to catch up.

  "Hi!"

  A loud explosion, the fireball slowly expanded, vaguely resembling a human figure, gradually opening up its body. The object spun rapidly like a large wheel, with waves of muscles continuously flowing. And the fireball was slowing down, while the fire dragon behind it was slowly approaching, almost touching.

  This fireball is just not enough for him.

  Just as he was frightened and at a loss, he suddenly remembered the mysterious heavenly energy mechanism he had controlled earlier, which was called the Primordial Yuan Force.

  "This power is divine, it may be able to save someone's life!"

  Take a deep breath, calm down, and carefully feel it. Suddenly, a familiar aura appeared out of nowhere.

  "This is the fundamental substance - the Original Primordial Power!"

  Insufficient energy makes the spirit control its power, forming a golden ball to protect it. The fire of the body's bones is suddenly transferred outside, and although the flames are raging, the body is not injured, and naturally there is no feeling of pain!

  Plop!

  Splash!

  The sound of entering water, splashing waves and continuous sounds, following one after another.

  Hiss!

  Boom!

  Water receives the strong fire's scorching air wave and rises with a loud noise. In an instant, all kinds of sounds are mixed together in disorder, and suddenly burst open.

  It turned out that it was already insufficient and fell into the lake water, surrounded by a fireball and the scene of the fire dragon behind it colliding with the lake water!

  In the distance, all that can be seen is a ball of fire in front, followed by a dragon of flames that crashes into the water. A white mushroom-shaped cloud rises, accompanied by a deafening roar that shakes the sky. Then, huge waves surge forward, striking the shores, and the grass, trees, soil, and rocks on the shore are blown away, all reduced to dust, swept away by the fierce wind. And in the high altitude above the lake, the golden flower bud suddenly bursts out with a seven-colored glow like fire, shaking violently as if about to fall, then suddenly explodes open, and what it spews out along with that golden flower bud all fly apart, its momentum too great to be described! Tongues of flame lick the four directions of space, rumbling loudly, causing the heavens and earth to shake. It is impossible to describe this scene. At this time, it enters the water, charging straight into the bottom of the lake, splitting the surrounding water in four directions, a path through the water winding around it. Although the flames are extinguished, its body crashes into the hard rock at the bottom of the lake, striking the mud and stones. Then, the dragon of fire follows closely behind, making a loud whooshing sound.

  Caw! Caw! Caw!

  The lake bottom was actually burning and melting, the flames had just gone out, and the water returned.

  Wow!

  The water has flowed over the lake bottom, where the lava has solidified like gold and stone! And the surface of the lake has actually dropped to three feet, its lake is no longer, only a small puddle left!

  Three days later.

  Caw, caw..........

  At the bottom of the lake, where the hard stone surface cracked open, a gap appeared, and something like a withered tree grew out. As it slowly emerged, it turned out to be a naked human figure. The person was indeed intact, but their entire body had lost its hair, their face had become charred and blackened, blisters covered their skin, and they were bleeding profusely from local wounds. The person opened their eyes wide, looked around, and suddenly burst into laughter, saying:

  "Awesome! Someone's actually still alive! Someone's actually still living! Hahaha......"

  That person is just not enough.

  Lying on a stone at the bottom of the lake for several days, then slowly getting up and leaving the lake. Dizzy and staggering, he climbed to a nearby hill by the small lake. He sat with his back against a tree, looking up at the sky. The weather was clear and high, unreachable.

  "Is this the sky outside the abyss of ten thousand kalpas?! Could it be that I have finally escaped the danger?!"

  Insufficient heart below secretly delighted, yet again complex anxiety in the chest. After half a day of rest, carefully examined it. Observing this place is quiet and soundless, except for grass and trees, even birds and beasts are unheard! In front of me is indeed a lake, but the lake is no longer there, now only a small puddle remains. The puddle's location, foggy misty, dense and unable to see objects. It's not enough as it is now, recognizing the external release also being affected by the fluctuating space energy influence, dazed and confused, unaware of what's going on. Outside the fog, there is no more disturbance.

  "How strange! I've never heard of such a scene before! This place only has grass and trees, no other living things?"

  Insufficient to frown and ponder deeply, it was the lake's demise. Thinking carefully, it was the fireball around its body, together with the fire dragon behind it, that made it impossible for the lake to be destroyed! Moreover, the spatial fluctuations in this area were so intense that it was not possible to achieve with just one blow into the lake!

  "Could it be that a certain household has triggered the legendary spatial transmission formation 'Ant Hole' and was transmitted unsuccessfully?"

  In the desolate stone array. The two cultivators' clothes were torn and tattered, their bodies covered in blood and flesh, hanging from a distant tree branch like corpses, about ten zhang apart. At this time, the two cultivators had just awakened. Dazed and confused, they stared at the massive pit in front of them, their mouths agape, unable to close. They thought back to when they had joined forces to break through the small maze array set up by the puppet Feng Cheng. Initially, it was smooth sailing, but as they progressed, they felt that the array's power grew stronger with each step. Unable to withstand it, the two cultivators gritted their teeth and brought out their powerful magical artifacts, using all their might to shatter the array in one strike. As they watched the maze array explode in a flash of light, the two cultivators' faces broke into smiles, but before they could fully express their joy, another blast of light illuminated the area, and the stone array also detonated!

  "Two arrays exploded one after another! It turned out that the two arrays were linked together..."

  Not in vain is the name of the Great Repair, for it indeed has the ability of the Great Repair! Seeing the great danger at hand, both of them simultaneously used their magical powers. First, they used their holistic body strength to release a protective divine light to guard themselves, and then, without prior agreement, they both took out the precious artifacts from their bags.

  "Boom, boom, boom......"

  As its voice rose in a loud chant, all sorts of magical instruments burst forth with a deafening crash! The terrifying divine energy of the stone array spread out, and compared to the divine energy released by this instrument, the majestic aura of the great array was like the mighty army of a royal kingdom, while the power of the instrument was no more than that of a single man. In an instant, it quietly passed over. Yet even so, it had already slightly blocked the might of the great array for a brief moment. This was enough; Second Repair flew back and retreated, using all his strength without holding anything back! When the power of the great array passed over, Second Repair's life was saved!

  Half a day later.

  Under a towering ancient tree with no branches or leaves, Xie and Kong, two elderly men, stood in disarray.

  "Old Kong, is this child truly cultivating the Taoist body?"

  Xie Zhanglao furrowed his brow and asked.

  "It must be the law of the land!"

  Kong the elder also frowned and replied.

  "But if it can be like this, why should I doubt it?"

  "Thank you, Elder Xie. Those two formations exploded in a chain reaction, are they indeed the ancient formation's chain reaction?"

  Kong Elder's eyes stared straight at Xie Elder and said.

  "This... perhaps..."

  Xie Zhanglao's eyes showed a bewildered expression as he muttered to himself.

  "In my opinion, it must be a ancient formation of linked rings! However, the method has long been lost in the distant past. Nowadays, people only know about it through oral tradition and fragmented words. How did this puppet Feng Cheng come to know about it?"

  Old Kong said with great enthusiasm.

  "Kong Dao, these two arrays can gradually increase their might. The method is indeed the ancient array method of the Upper Ancients, and it is also the ancient linked ring array method. It's just that the two arrays are connected, and their might is not earth-shaking. Why be so frightened?"

  "Thank you, brother, for being able to get two, then three, four, five and so on ad infinitum!"

  "If so, then..."

  "Yes! The value of this person is far beyond that of the precious artifact!"

  "Brother Dao's words are extremely right! If the sect gets the right person, it will be like setting up a great protective mountain array. Who can enter? Who can break it? Isn't it naturally standing in an unbeatable position?"

  "What if we use it to attack?"

  "Brother Kong Dao, if you can defeat any formation without exception, then what school or sect can defeat you?"

  They looked at each other in dismay and could say no more.
