Chapter 126 is there.

Leaving aside Cheng Zhishun's description of what he saw and heard upon waking up, let's just talk about how Shen Suiren and the Little Dragon King rolled into a paradise.

"It's a real peach." The Little Dragon King plucked one, squeezed it open, and peach jam splattered all over his face and hands.

Shen Suiren used a few cleansing spells to clean him up completely: "Besides the peaches growing well, are there no other living beings here?"

"I don't see any in my consciousness. Can I eat peaches? I'm so tired and hungry." The Little Dragon King looked on with longing.

Shen Suiren patted him on the shoulder: "I'm the one who's tired. You can eat the spiritual fruits from your own space."

The peach tree in front of us might just be the key point in the formation.

"Annoying, there are formations everywhere."

"I wonder where Cheng Zhishun has fallen." The Little Dragon King took out two spiritual fruits, and didn't forget to give one to Shen Suiren.

Unfortunately, her cultivation level was low, so she could only put the fruit into the jade box and exchange it for her own low-grade spiritual fruit.

The two ate and walked, and finished exploring the maze-like peach grove in less than half an hour.

Shen Suiren concluded, "It's still the Dragon-Slaying Formation, plus the Bewitching and Soul-Dispelling Palace with seventeen array eyes."

The person who set up the formation must have had some personal grudge against that Dragon King; otherwise, the Dragon King wouldn't have been so determined to use this formation to scrape his soul away and gradually obliterate him from the world.

"Did Aunt Zitang offend someone too?" The Little Dragon King's mind worked quickly.

"The Purple Dragon King is on her own territory. Apart from separating her soul and body, well... that makes sense, she herself cannot separate her body and soul."

"The ancient times are too far removed from history, and many things have been lost. We should focus on the present." Shen Suiren didn't want to waste time on things she didn't understand, so she simply let the Little Dragon King rest in the spatial room so she could break the formation.

But when the Little Dragon King saw her circling around a few trees in the space room, he felt like she was just going around in circles. "I can burn down the trees with my lightning and fire, so fast!"

"The tree is just the surface; the roots connected to it must be completely destroyed to break the formation." Shen Suiren also wanted to break all the formations with his own strength, but unfortunately, his power did not allow it.

She had just walked through the peach grove to confirm which area was the key point of the formation. The fact that she was able to determine it so quickly was entirely due to her study of formations in her previous life.

Grateful for the lineage passed down by the ancient Array Sect, Shen Suiren couldn't help but glance at the leisurely floating green leaves in his sea of ​​consciousness.

As if sensing something, Ya Ya turned over and showed her the beauty of her back.

Having inexplicably understood, Shen Suiren withdrew her divine sense and hurried to find the array's core. Just as she found the right one, the little fox king in her sea of ​​consciousness sent her a warning.

Shen Suiren darted into the small space, not bothering to explain further to the puzzled Little Dragon King, and simply said, "You will protect me."

After saying that, he sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state, his entire being entering his sea of ​​consciousness to find the little fox king: "What happened?"

"This Dragon King is indeed up to no good. He just asked your father to lend him his body." The reason the Little Fox King stayed behind was to protect her father and keep watch over the rear for Sui Chu.

Shen Suiren was startled. Fortunately, this secret place did not sever the connection between the soul and the body, and the dragon bone was not far from the Qian position: "Possession? My father's physical body could not support his remnant soul at all."

Did you fight him? Were you hurt?

The Little Fox King didn't tell her about how he almost had a tail ripped off by the Dragon Shadow. "No, thankfully my cultivation was unblocked, and I was able to take your father away from his space."

He said he was just borrowing a body and would return it after the deed was done. Hmph, he thinks everyone else is a fool.

Now, as long as we are three zhang away from the dragon bone, he can no longer enter the sea of ​​consciousness. Moreover, your senior uncle has just arrived, so we have help.

However, the chains binding the dragon bone are gradually breaking. If you continue breaking the formation, his soul will surely be able to break free.

"Aren't the chains on my father and the others broken yet?"

"No, they've all cracked open. We're trying to figure out how to cut them off."

The Dragon King's promise to break through one key point of the formation to escape was a trap to lure you into breaking through even more key points.

"Tell your master that the immortal sword has already been drawn."

"Once I get out of this maze-like formation in the Qian position, I'll come find you." Shen Suiren touched the immortal sword, which could cut the chains.

The little fox king cautioned, "Be careful, never trust any strangers or spirits you encounter."

"I understand." After the connection between their souls was severed, Shen Suiren opened her eyes abruptly.

She changed her original plan to slowly break the formation, grabbed the immortal sword, and jumped out of the space room.

The Little Dragon King followed closely behind, saying, "I will protect you."

"Alright." Shen Suiren drew her sword and dripped blood. The immortal sword hummed again and deflected her blood.

She used her spiritual power to catch the blood, and her eyes were reflected in the horizontal sword: "Senior Immortal Sword, recognizing a master is only a temporary measure, so that we can better maintain our coordination."

"You see, I didn't use my divine sense to refine the sword. I'll definitely find a suitable cultivator with a golden spiritual root for you in the future, what do you say?"

The immortal sword remained silent; its consciousness was incomplete, and it merely instinctively felt that the cultivator before it was not compatible with itself.

"This maze is where you are truly trapped. If I cannot break through the formation, you will not be able to escape either."

Surely, you wouldn't want to be forever buried underground, with no use for your skills, would you? Shen Suiren flicked blood onto the sword again.

This time, the sword silently absorbed the attack without any further resistance.

A brief agreement was reached between the man and the sword, and Shen Suiren received a message from the Immortal Sword.

The sword is named Longyuan, but it is not of the immortal grade. It was forged by a Mahayana cultivator in the Xuanhuang Realm during the Void Refining stage.

The sword has accompanied its master in battles for thousands of years, constantly incorporating high-grade materials, and its grade has reached the top level of acquired spiritual treasures. Its power is comparable to that of innate spiritual treasures.

Before a cultivator ascends to the Immortal Realm, they are deliberately left in the Xuanhuang Realm to set up an array for trials, awaiting a destined person.

Unexpectedly, the Dragon Abyss Sword was brought to this place to serve as a guardian spirit, and as the days and months passed, its fine materials were wasted.

"The Dragon Abyss Sword chose you as its guardian, most likely because it was drawn to your name."

"Come on, let's break this formation together." As he spoke, Shen Suiren leaped up.

With a straight thrust, he pierced the peach tree in front of him, the one laden with the most fruit.

The sword pierced the tree trunk, and she then used brute force to slash downwards from the heart of the tree.

The tree grieved as the peaches fell, then suddenly melted into water and landed on the ground, leaving behind a blood-red stain.

"The Spirit Peach is indeed inedible." The Little Dragon King stared at the remains that looked like flesh and blood, and kindly unleashed a bolt of lightning to burn them to ashes.

Shen Suiren continued to slash with her sword. With the help of the immortal sword, she did not need to overdraw her spiritual power; she only needed to guide it to perform its function.

Just as the sword was about to reach the tree root, she reminded him, "Little Dragon King, prepare to burn its roots with lightning and fire."

"Alright!" The Little Dragon King was eager to try, and the infant fire within his body had already been summoned to his hand.

Shen Suiren commanded the immortal sword attached to the base of the tree to quickly release a burst of sword energy, then drew the sword and kicked the tree in one fluid motion: "Down!"

嘭咚
The huge tree fell down with a crash, and the Little Dragon King punched open the roots, sending thunder and fire crashing into the roots.

Boom boom boom

The peach trees that were intertwined with it nearby also caught fire in the blink of an eye.

Before the roots were completely burned, Shen Suiren picked up the Little Dragon King and headed towards the second formation eye.

There's no need to break all seventeen key points; just select the nine most important ones.

She had already explored the entire peach orchard, so after breaking through one, it would be easy to find two, and then break through two to advance to three.

A long time passed, and the man and the dragon had destroyed the trees at eight important points of the formation, as the sun gradually began to set in the west.

Even though the Dragon Abyss Sword was generating power on its own, Shen Suiren was still exhausted from constantly using his spiritual energy to power it.

The Little Dragon King's excitement subsided, and he drooped his head, unwilling to leave. "I want to sleep."

"We must press on with this momentum. This operation is bigger than a volcano, so we need to finish quickly, or we risk being surrounded and attacked." She thought that Uncle Lei might be injured.

Otherwise, the Little Fox King would definitely have suggested that his senior uncle come to find him when he contacted him. "Look, there's only one left. After I break it, I'll make you a squirrel fish, how about that?"

"What are squirrel fish? There aren't any live fish here."

"Then let's do something else. I have some mutton and beef brisket in my storage ring, chilled with the snow fox's food."

There was also a fifth-grade abalone. Shen Suiren took out a food box and picked out some soft and sticky snacks to feed him.

The little dragon king ate with relish, then stretched out his little hand: "The last key to the formation, break it after you've finished eating."

"Break it." Shen Suiren gave him a high five and sped up the feeding.

At this moment, the water in the Sparrow King Gorge no longer showed any signs of a battle; it was a still, quiet expanse of water.

But underwater, Cheng Zhishun was helping the Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators dig and dig, feeling that they had already dug out all the soil and broken swords from the sword mountain, but they just couldn't find the way out.

Where the mountain was originally fragmented, a large lake emerged. Three Core Formation cultivators stood on the lake's edge, but they were unable to fly to the other side.

"We've heard nothing from Fellow Daoist Pan, and Fellow Daoist Jia's team has also disappeared without a trace shortly after entering the forbidden area. Are we just supposed to stand here and watch?"

"Do you intend to go into the restricted area?"

"No." The three exchanged glances, knowing they were going to their deaths, none of them wanted to.

"The warning message has been sent out. We'll see if the passage will be opened four months in advance to let people in for repairs."

"The four directions of Qian, Kan, Li, and Xun all have problems, and two of them are completely destroyed. Putting in a Core Formation cultivator will not be able to repair them at all."

The key question is whether those who come in again will accuse us of negligence and whether they will allow us to evacuate safely.

“For the past hundred years, this place has been peaceful, but it was only when we received this mission that…” Before he could finish speaking, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the lake.

In the blink of an eye, the entire lake was filled with electricity, bursting into large whirlpools.

The three retreated hastily, their spirit swords and talismans ready to be thrown at any moment, when suddenly, a path opened up in the lake water before them.

Two people, one big and one small, emerged from the bottom of the lake and threw a talisman at them without saying a word.

"High-level Thunderclap Talisman! Retreat immediately." The three Core Formation cultivators had sharp eyes, but before they could finish speaking, the talisman exploded.

Snap, boom!
Shen Suiren did not expect that after breaking through the array's core and escaping, he would be facing three Core Formation cultivators.

The Little Dragon King was already exhausted and asleep in her arms. She dared not be careless on her own and immediately used the Thunderclap Talisman.

Moreover, the purpose was not to kill the opponent, but only to buy time for oneself to escape.

But to her utter surprise, the Thunder Talisman exploded, shattering the lake and causing the water to vanish in an instant.

The three Core Formation cultivators vanished without a trace, while the little dragon king in her arms rubbed his eyes and pointed to the exploded lake shore: "Stop, Cheng Zhishun is over there."

Before the words were finished, the soil on the shore was violently pried open, revealing the face of Jueyuan, the disciple of Dafosi Temple.

"Amitabha, find the right one..." Before he could finish speaking, someone pushed him from behind.

"At the beginning of the year, the two sides were connected."

"Cheng Zhishun!"

Shen Suiren quickly urged the bird feathers to fly back. The moment it landed, more cultivators from the Taiyuan Realm squeezed in through the small entrance.

Now she no longer had to worry about encountering a Spirit Realm Core Formation cultivator, and the Little Dragon King could sleep peacefully.

The three Core Formation cultivators, however, were unwilling to give up, believing they shouldn't have been scared away by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so they turned back halfway.

But before they could even reach the lake, they were inevitably and spectacularly surrounded by the pursuing cultivators from the Taiyuan Realm.

The three Core Formation cultivators attacked as soon as they saw more than ten late-stage Core Formation cultivators coming up, not even giving them a chance to speak.

Shen Suiren helped expand the passage: "So the water flows from here to Quewang Gorge. If I had known, I would have used an extra Thunderclap Talisman."

"No, that tremor just now was just right."

"Look at us, covered in water and mud." Cheng Zhishun gestured for her to come to the side to talk.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators who came with them nodded in agreement: "Many of the people at the front had their ears hurt from the shockwave."

Fellow Daoist, at the beginning of the year, do you require us to break through a few more strongholds?

The "suppressing platform" is actually something placed at the core of the formation, usually a high-level treasure, such as the Dragon Abyss Sword, which every cultivator would want.

Shen Suiren said, "Including the dragon bones, there should be seven more."

Of course, this is just my personal calculation; the Nascent Soul array masters still need to observe it further.

"Elder Haoqing objected to Nascent Soul cultivators entering, so she blocked the entrance."

“That’s understandable. The highest level of monsters here is fifth rank, and the enemy only has five Core Formation cultivators. There’s really no need for a Nascent Soul True Monarch.” Shen Suiren chatted with everyone for a few minutes before following Cheng Zhishun to the side.

He then created several layers of soundproof barriers before saying, "There have been lone Nascent Soul cultivators who have been killed; three have died in just one day."

Elder Haoqing and the others were worried that something might happen after a Nascent Soul cultivator entered.

"Elder Chu has started to make his move?"

"Probably, nobody can find him now."

"What about forsythia?"

"She's still locked up. Don't worry about her so much. This involves a lot of Gengjin (a type of metal), and Sect Master Fujiang won't let her off easily."

I need to tell you something. I didn't let Mom in; she was injured in the shoulder by the explosion..."

Shen Suiren interrupted him, asking anxiously, "Is Master's arm alright?"

"The tear was quite severe; it will take several days to heal after the bone setting."

"It's good that you're alright. It was the right thing not to come in. I always felt that breaking the formation this time was too easy." As soon as Shen Suiren finished speaking, the ground trembled.

She stepped out of the barrier and asked the endless stream of Foundation Establishment cultivators, "Who accidentally triggered any restrictions?"

"No." Everyone was very careful.

"I feel it's a beast tide." Zong Rou of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is more familiar with demonic beasts than with people.

Before long, a cultivator from the Cangyuan Sect pointed to the smoke and dust in the distance: "Look!"

"Beast tide, quickly set up a defensive formation!" The three Core Formation cultivators who had been captured alive flew back urgently to issue the order.

Then send out half of the Core Formation cultivators to launch a head-on attack on a wave of demonic beasts.

Shen Suiren and everyone quickly set up a defensive formation, just as Fan Liyue and the others, who had killed a group of demonic beasts, returned: "Foundation Establishment disciples, stay inside the formation and do not engage the demonic beasts."

The people were puzzled, but they were not afraid of the beast tide.

The Core Formation cultivators looked grave: "Those demons are covered in bloodthirsty demonic energy and have lost all their senses."

"If you rashly confront him, you may be misled by his malevolent aura."

"Therefore, we should quickly extinguish them and find the source of the demonic energy to seal it, so as to prevent the demonic energy from spreading to Sparrow King Canyon."

"But, has this place always been filled with demonic energy?" Shen Suiren had never actually seen a demon, but the lightning bird said there were ghosts, so it wasn't surprising that there were more demonic beasts with demonic energy now.

One of the Core Formation cultivators suggested, "Why don't we ask the fellow cultivators from the Fallen God Sect to perform a soul search on the captives?"

The three bound Core Formation cultivators were terrified. One of them said, "We didn't know. If we had known there was demonic energy involved, we definitely wouldn't have accepted this mission."

Another person said, "It must have been the person who issued the mission who tampered with the exit."

Believe it or not, he was right. Two Mahayana cultivators appeared at the entrance to the Spirit Realm.
