Episode 118

  Chang'er sat upright, carefully distinguishing in her mind. She knew that the two factions within the sect had vastly different opinions on how to deal with the insufficient matter. The old ancestors advocated for keeping it to wait, perhaps obtaining the secret of the Broken Sky Great Array, which would be of great use. However, the recently returned High Ancestors, Gaizong and Gaozu, strongly advocated for exchanging it for the secret of the Dark Concealment Great Array. As a result, the original master of the Xingfa Hall was dismissed from his position due to incompetence.

  "Without a doubt, your law enforcement temple should be firmly obstructed, first transfer Feng Cheng to another place and secretly detain him. Then, with the door master and others, design a plan to confuse the enemy, in short, Feng Cheng must not be lost."

  "Yes! The disciple humbly follows the master's instructions and will work together with the master in harmony to accomplish this task."

  Afterwards, there was a slight miscalculation. Then afterwards, it was roughly when the two of them left the secret realm and returned. The master of the door said again:

  "Don't worry, although you are the disciple of my elder sister's master, I have always regarded you as one of my own. Now, I won't hide it from you either - your respected master, Taiyi Zhenren, is actually a practitioner of another faction within our sect, and our ancestors were quite dissatisfied with her. Your behavior was slightly improper, and even I couldn't do anything about it. Take heed! Take heed!"

  "Oh! So that's how it is, no wonder the Jurchen people are angry."

  Chang'er said in a low voice, and immediately fell into deep thought.

  "If so, then our family is not enough for my brother, just like a pancake, both ends are burnt!"

  Chang'e's heart is filled with worries, as she travels back and forth between the heavenly palace and the mortal world.

  "Should I force my way out? But if I do, I'll have to use the power of the demon tribe. I'm afraid it will lead to a great conflict between humans and demons, ruining the agreement that has been in place for thousands of years. My guilt would be immense! With my own strength? But now, even if I slightly use my divine powers, I'll inevitably invite disaster. It's not enough to accomplish anything, but rather bring about great harm! What should I do?"

  "What's your name, miss?"

  A beautiful maid came in and said.

  "Oh!"

  Chang'e was shocked and got up hastily, following them to the place of the female Zhenren.

  "Are you willing, Fu Junru, to rescue your senior fellow-disciple Feng Cheng?"

  "Respectfully, Master, even if I were to die, I must still rescue my brother! However, at this moment, my brother is being held in the Heavenly Prison within the sect, and there's no way to think of a plan!"

  "Hmph! Even if you really die, I'm afraid it will be hard to save your Master's brother."

  "Master helps his disciple with one arm! The disciple must......"

  "What do you want? Revenge? With what can you repay me? Your small body as a Daoist, what thing can move my heart?"

  "This..."

  "I don't need you to repay me, just quietly follow that treacherous and ungrateful disciple of the High Void Sect. Report everything he does and everyone he meets back to me. I will then return your living Shixiong to you. Otherwise, even if you have a plan, it's useless!"

  "Thank you, Master!"

  "Hmm! Since you know and I know, it's all right then. You may go."

  "It is Master, you understand."

  Chang'e bowed and backed out.

  "Hmph, when I think about it! My family's insufficient brother is temporarily staying at the Easy Repair Gate, and he still has his life, if you want to exchange him for someone in a hidden place, I'm afraid they will immediately erase my family's insufficient brother's spiritual intelligence and turn him into a puppet. No way, I have to carefully follow Gao Wu Yu, so that my family's insufficient brother won't get into trouble."

  The insufficient ones are imprisoned in the Xian prison, and recently there have been several more. These few sons of nobility are all recent offenders, and their crimes involve serious consequences, so they were all brought here for punishment.

  Insufficiently quiet and stealthy, I let out a hint of spiritual awareness, only to find that several people around me are completely unaware.

  "Could it be a high-level insider? But how did there suddenly become so many? Could there have been a change within the organization? Alas, let's investigate slowly, after all, we have plenty of time."

  Day after day, the divine consciousness was about to dissipate, yet none of the cultivators opened their mouths to speak. Day after day, they were like mute people, silently meditating without a word. More than a month passed, and there was still no movement, nor had Chen Er arrived. Everything was unclear, and anxiety lingered in his heart. Unable to help himself, one day after finishing his cultivation, he sat idly with nothing to do, so he used all his strength to push his divine consciousness through the prison gate, wanting to break out of the prison, but as usual, it was blocked. Having no choice, he carefully searched every inch of the prison's restrictions, hoping to find a weak spot in the seal, and if his divine consciousness could escape, then everything outside would be clear, and he could take action with confidence!

  Never had such a careful search before, first because there was no idle time to delve into the law array, and second because Chang'er often came unexpectedly, so this time's search was surprisingly intriguing.

  "Seal off the divine recognition, seal off the absorption of the heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, suppress the divine power like an ordinary person, this temporary method should be called 'absolutely wonderful'."

  Insufficient search of this kind, although the weak points of the forbidden interval have not been fully explored, yet the wonderful result has indeed been obtained!

  "It turned out that it was indeed a super forbidden array, but the foundation of this array is wonderfully unique and has nothing to do with what certain families have learned!"

  Not enough to sink down and examine carefully. After many days, there is finally a little bit of understanding gained.

  "It turns out that this formation is actually a base formation. One base formation is equivalent to one large formation! How ingenious! Who would have thought of it?"

  Insufficient focus on the profound study of this foundation array, and before I knew it, a year had passed in a hurry. The few cultivators in the prison were still speechless. They were all like dumb melons, only eating and using the Increase Yuan Dan every day to increase their yuan power, so as to counterbalance the inability to absorb yuan power and return to the state of retreat before the vortex boundary. At that time, the insufficient large array had already gained a lot. The benefits obtained should be attributed to the fact that the arrays studied during the period of insufficiency were all ancient arrays, while the Taichu Cultivation Body Array studied for nearly twenty years had even more achievements!

  On this day, Master Lao came to visit and said:

  "Feng Shidi, this time the Xuan Yuan Dan handed over to you by the sect is just enough for your use for half a year. If it's not enough when the time comes, mention it to us and we'll report back to the sect."

  "Thank you, senior brother, but does senior brother know about my younger sister Qian Er?"

  "I didn't know, it's been a long time since you, like our younger sister, came here. We've also missed you!"

  "Is there a change in the door?"

  "No! Still as dull and lifeless as ever!"

  "Oh!"

  Insufficient to observe its departure, silently without words.

  "If there is no anomaly in the door, then the cultivation of the prisoner in the lock must be related to me!"

  After thinking for several days, I deeply feel that the situation is unclear. Although I have a strong spirit, my divine powers are weak and small, and I am unable to take action. If the large array in the door is newly formed, then our family's small life may not last long!

  "Hmph! Since we've started, let's get to the bottom of this and then talk."

  Having made up his mind in this way, he took action by nightfall.

  It was during the time of the mysterious moon's decline, when all sounds were hushed, that in a prison cell not far away, less than a hundred paces distant, a large hand suddenly appeared out of thin air. The hand directly grasped the meditating cultivator, one hand pinching his neck, and transmitted a voice saying:

  "What brings you to this place?"

  The person sitting in meditation was frightened and almost died, and for a long time he was stunned there, suddenly waking up, his whole body trembling with fear, and stammering:

  "Where is the senior fellow from? What brings you to this place?"

  "Hum! Come ask a certain family!"

  His big hand tightened, his mouth opened wide, his eyes rolled back, and his tongue lolled out, making a "yi yi wu wu" sound.

  "Speak!"

  He loosened his grip slightly and said coldly:

  "Senior, I have been appointed as the new leader of Yixiu Gate by the two great elders, Gaozu and Gaotong. They ordered me to come here to take care of Feng Cheng, so that Taizu and other great elders will not make any secret moves and hide him! If this is the case, then the great calamity of Yixiu Gate cannot be avoided!"

  "What were the views of Gaozu and Gaotong?"

  "Exchange Feng Cheng for the secret of the Dark Heaven Shattering Array!"

  "There are five of you here, what is your status?"

  "We three are people of the Second Ancestor, while the other two are under the Great Elder Taizu, all of us have achieved a certain level of cultivation in the Tao."

  "What is the cultivation of the Tao?"

  "Yes! This place is indeed the Great Perfection of Dharma, and its methods are also forbidden. We are only like tempered bodies in this realm."

  "Hmm! When will we make our move?"

  "This is unknown, probably will be trapped in the door and unable to think of a way out."

  "What if we could advance the timing of taking action?"

  "Elder's words, junior doesn't understand! Don't know......"

  "If today and tomorrow both move then..."

  "Are you trying to steal a victory and get out of here?! I'd like to remind you, senior, that although our sect's ancestors were all about harmonizing yin and yang, once we take action, we'll definitely join forces. At that time, I'm afraid you won't be able to retreat unscathed!"

  "Hmm!"

  With a mighty hand, he exerted his strength, and with a burst of energy, his eyes snapped open. Blood gushed from the seven orifices in his head as he collapsed to the ground.
