After cultivating immortality, she devoted herself to becoming an ancestor

"He has reformed, at least leaving some room for maneuver, preventing this central hub from being controlled by outsiders or demons." Wu Xuanzi looked around; this was where he used to practice when he was young.

Apart from the wall where people could take photos, everything is different from what it used to be, and there are no more prizes on the shelves on the second floor.

But formations, no matter how they change, still follow the same principles; after walking through them once, she knew exactly where the changes had been made.

“Take a look at this.” She swept the image over to a roll of animal hide on the table in front of her.

Shen Suiren quickly browsed through the information and discovered that a long time ago, some of the disciples of the Array Sect who moved away scattered to other realms, and not all of them joined the Taiyuan Sect.

After they discovered that the Taiyuan Sect had moved many of the secret places and realms of the Taiyuan Realm, they tried their best to find the secret places lost by the Array Sect.

Unfortunately, even if they found it, it was useless. They didn't have as much power as the others, and they couldn't take a share of the secret realm.

Fortunately, the Beihai No. 1 appeared in the Great Wilderness Realm, so it cooperated with the demon race that moved to the Great Wilderness and seized the ownership of the Beixuan Secret Realm into the hands of the Demon Court.

The condition is that the demon race must not touch the secret chamber where the Array Sect refines its disciples' array formations, and must maintain its long-term existence.

The Demon Court readily agreed, since demons were not proficient in formations and would be of no use to the Secret Palace.

They promised to give these people a thousand places in the newly established sects, along with exclusive green pass tokens, allowing their disciples to pass on their skills from generation to generation.

Unfortunately, the last disciple among the later generations who was able to enter the secret realm was someone from twenty or thirty thousand years ago.

"So, aren't the nearly one thousand cultivators who entered the secret realm with green tokens people sent by the Taiyuan Sect to attack us?" the Little Fox King wondered.

"Not necessarily. Look at what's written here: the Northern Profound Sect they founded no longer exists. Their tokens were more likely to be stolen than inherited."

Ah, so it turns out that Benlei Daojun's master was a disciple who escaped when the Northern Profound Sect was wiped out. No wonder he left us a chance to survive.

Moreover, he was transported here carrying his master's remains. Shen Suiren saw the signature on the jade slip: "Ben Lei" (meaning "Thunderbolt").

“Ancestor, according to Master Pan, this Dao Lord has already ascended to the Immortal Realm, and I have also confirmed this in the Spirit Realm.”

Wu Xuanzi nodded. She had already guessed that Ben Lei might be a disciple of the Array Sect when she saw the array diagram he had drawn. "Yes, at the beginning of the year, this wisp of my soul can last for a quarter of an hour."

If you choose to learn the control of the central array, I can instill it into your soul.

But from now on, you will no longer have my soul protecting you.

If you choose to retreat here, you can still keep it until I officially reincarnate.

"Ancestor, I want to learn formations." Shen Suiren naturally chose to learn formations. Once the Vermilion Bird Cauldron is completed and the Northern Profound Realm returns, the Ancestor's soul will only be preserved for a hundred years at most after entering reincarnation.

She's not someone to be trifled with: "Should we change the way we enter here?"
After all, the techniques practiced by various sects in the Taiyuan Realm were mostly passed down from the Array Sect.

"I will teach you, and you can correct it yourself after you reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"Get ready now." Wu Xuanzi said decisively, pointing his index finger at her brow.

A moment later, Shen Suiren's mind conjured up the entire array design of the Northern Mystic Mansion, including the location of the array eyes within a radius of ten thousand miles.

Seeing that Sui Chu was receiving the blessings with her eyes closed, and that Wu Xuanzi was about to disappear, the Little Fox King immediately asked her, "Where is the exit? The Vermilion Bird Cauldron can take you to the Taiyuan Realm."

"We've arrived at the exit..." Wu Xuanzi disappeared too quickly, before he could finish speaking.

The little fox king was quite disappointed. He had been watching Sui Chu for a long time but she didn't wake up, so he could only look at the images on the wall out of boredom.

After a short while, Juexing and the others could no longer be found, but a group of demon cultivators and human cultivators were seen traveling together, heading towards... the waterfall where they had fallen.

The little fox king's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was feeling relieved that the Secret Arts Palace required a secret method to enter, a group of twelve people, both human and demon, swiftly descended to the waterfall.

In the blink of an eye, one by one, they were sucked into the "Water Curtain Cave" obtained at the beginning of the year, each clutching a section of jade bone.

She could no longer see what was happening inside the cave.

“Sui…” Turning his head, he wanted to wake the person, but worried about affecting Sui Chu’s spirit. The anxious little fox king paced around the main hall.

Then, by accident, she pushed open a door on the side, and the massive amount of spiritual energy made her take a deep breath.

Upon closer inspection, behind the door was a cultivation room where spiritual mist could condense into liquid, and the mist came from a pool of water—or rather, a pool of spiritual liquid.

She couldn't resist taking a step closer, but then worried that there might be a restriction inside, so she wisely withdrew.

Then, glancing at the images on the wall, there was nothing new except for cultivators fighting, escaping, and gathering herbs.

Looking at the tightly closed main hall door, it was Wu Xuanzi who opened it with a hand seal. I wonder if that group of people can open it too.

After much thought, to avoid overthinking, I pushed open another door next door, which turned out to be another cultivation room.

I tried pushing it again, but it was still the same. I could only sigh that I couldn't use it.

"Ah Luan, why are you sighing?" Shen Suiren was unable to absorb all the formations at once, and only after familiarizing herself with the central operation did she wake up early.

The Little Fox King ran over and said, "This place can help one form a Nascent Soul, but it's not for me."

Logically speaking, neither Benwu nor I are much worse than Chongming, yet we haven't reached the eighth rank yet.

"Once the energy of heaven and earth recovers, you will soon reach the ninth level. We skip eight levels and jump a grade," Shen Suiren comforted her.

He then put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Come on, let's see how many cultivators there are within a radius of ten thousand miles."

Upon hearing this, the Little Fox King immediately informed the others he had seen entering the waterfall, "Have they teleported here?"

“He’s not here.” Shen Suiren’s spiritual power was unaffected within the hall.

She scanned the area below the mountain outside the gate, but there was no one there, nor was there anyone around the secret residence.

"Don't worry, I will find them."

If they teleport in, we'll take advantage of their spirit-locking state and wipe them out.

Soon, she went to the desk and moved the paper, animal hide, writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on it to the chair next to her.

Then, he quickly formed hand seals and struck the surface of the table. In a flash of inspiration, the entire tabletop resembled flowing river water.

In a short while, various array patterns appeared one by one, dazzling the little fox king.

As soon as Shen Suiwen manipulated a certain array pattern, the image on the wall changed accordingly.

After a few more pulls, the entire wall, from east to west, is covered with photos, divided into eight different locations.

The Little Fox King didn't even bother to look at the painting; the two cultivators were fighting, and her attention was entirely focused on the Water Curtain Cave.

"Why are the two demons who were chasing us here too?" As soon as she finished speaking, two cultivators in the cave exchanged a glance and then subdued the two demons in a flash.

Amidst cries for help, the demon cultivators in their group rushed out from the connected cave: "What do you mean, fellow Daoist? My demon clan has not provoked you."

"But the people they were chasing have already gone inside."

They must have seen something. "The cultivators naturally side with their own people."

The demon cultivators' true cultivation level was also at the tenth level; how could they show weakness to human cultivators? "Fellow Daoist, they can still be trapped here even if they see this."

Besides, you have no spiritual sense or power, how could you possibly search a soul? Let go.”

"Don't let it go."

"You've got guts."

Both sides immediately threw punches at each other; the absence of spiritual power does not necessarily mean the absence of martial power.

In terms of strength, the demon kings have a natural advantage, and can send a cultivator flying with just one punch.

The remaining humans and demons wanted to stop it, but each was also focused on the other's people.

"It's not fun fighting between just one person and one demon."

"I'll add some more scenes for you." Shen Suiren said, while fiddling with the array patterns on the table.

A camellia, dark green, quickly emerged from the corner of the Water Curtain Cave where the cultivator had struck it.

"Entrance!" Several human cultivators rushed to the flowers, and the demon cultivators, not to be outdone, followed and squeezed their way to the front.

At this moment, they ignored the two demons who were subdued and lying on the ground.

The two demons peeked over and saw more than a dozen high-level beings enveloped in a green light, disappearing as if swallowed by a giant beast. They were just relieved that they hadn't gotten close when, as soon as they stood up, they were swallowed up by a gaping maw that opened up behind them.

"Where should we send it?" The little fox king asked anxiously, eager to see the result.

As she wished, Shen Suiren adjusted the image tracking again and saw the two demons smashing into the human cultivator who was struggling to emerge from the swamp.

"Haha, he just plopped down on him, and all his cultivation was for nothing." The little fox king chuckled.

Shen Suiren was even happier. She took control once again, causing the eight demons and six humans to be vigorously sucked into the swamp.

Within ten breaths, no more people or demons emerged from below.

The little fox king couldn't see clearly down in the swamp: "Is he really dead?"

Shen Suiren couldn't see clearly either, since the Array Sect hadn't set up the Mirror Light Array at the bottom of the swamp.

This also helped her confirm that this place was not one of the key points of the formation.

"You keep an eye on things, I'll look for my teammates." She thought, it would be too weak for a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator and a tenth-level cultivator to die here.

Before long, after scanning all the screens, the teammates were nowhere to be seen.

Instead, in one scene, she saw the female cultivator in green robes, who had been imprisoned in the snow-capped mountains, flying alone to the waterfall.

Shen Suiren sighed inwardly, realizing that it was a huge mistake of his not to let the Little Fox King search all of the female cultivator's belongings when he imprisoned her.

But I don't regret it; I couldn't let the little fox king take such a risk.

In the moment she was distracted, the female cultivator in green also entered the Water Curtain Cave.

"Do they all have the jade bones of array sect cultivators?" Upon further reflection, the Northern Profound Sect must have left behind high-level remains after its annihilation.

Shen Suiren glanced at the swamp and saw someone struggling to climb onto the platform. She couldn't help but watch for a few more moments.

Immediately afterwards, spiritual energy surged from his palm, activating an array pattern on the table, and the person fell into the swamp again.

She then activated several array patterns, throwing all the people in the swamp out.

Controlling the array patterns to prevent them from flying too far, with a few buzzing sounds, it then threw the group of humans and demons into the nearby killing array.

In the blink of an eye, a demon cultivator dodged the attack of the giant dragon within the formation, grabbed the demon chasing the two of them, and sent it into the mouth of the giant dragon formed from spiritual energy.

Shen Suiren felt as if she heard the sound of the demon bones being crushed.

The effect is so good?
If you want to try it a second time, it depends on whether the people inside are willing to cooperate and fight.

As it turns out, even the highest-ranking demon cultivators can't control their tempers and will turn around and fight with human cultivators again.

"They have recovered their spiritual power. If they successfully break the formation, they will also attempt to cross the waterfall." The Little Fox King was somewhat astonished.

Shen Suiren further intensified the killing formation's power: "No."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than one of the human cultivators in the killing formation was grabbed by several demon cultivators and blocked from the fireball attack.

Little Fox King's comment: "An eye for an eye."

Let them fight amongst themselves, let them kill each other.

Shen Suiren wholeheartedly agreed, "I plan to create some kind of treasure to attract more people to try and win it."

Hopefully, members of the Taiyuan Sect will also be tempted to show up and try to seize it.

"What does a Nascent Soul (Tenth Rank) cultivator need most?" the human and the fox asked in unison.

The little fox king pondered for a moment, "A spiritual herb that increases lifespan?"

"Is it possible that it is a spiritual material that can withstand tribulation and lightning?"

For example, the Purple-Gold Thunder Bamboo. Shen Suiren took out a jade box and opened it, revealing a whole set of golden thunder bamboo.

"I'll go plant it." The little fox king volunteered, actually because it was too stuffy here, and without spiritual power, he was just like an ordinary beast.

"Don't worry, I will be very careful."

Furthermore, you should let us know you're safe, since we can't communicate with you telepathically like I can.

Shen Suiren did not completely agree: "It's too suspicious to plant it. The Great Wilderness Demon Court must have a complete map."

They knew exactly where the spiritual plants were.

"Then take photos of all of them and find a suitable place to plant them."

There must be bamboo forests within the secret realm. So what if a mutated one appears? The little fox king has plenty of ideas.

Shen Suiren thought for a moment and then shook her head, "Look around here and see if there's a good place to store treasures."

I'll go check the other rooms to see if there are any treasures that could attract high-level cultivators.

She went up to the second floor and didn't notice the baby, but the communication jade unexpectedly worked.

A quick probe revealed that the teammates had moved away from the snow mountain and were currently resting on a cliff. The Rain God had stopped searching for treasure.

Instead, they kept a close watch on them every day to prevent people from taking the risk of robbing.

Shen Suiren was astonished, not expecting that in just one month, his teammates had already killed more than a dozen Core Formation cultivators from the Great Wilderness.

Very good, this means that the cultivators and demons of the Great Wilderness are still fighting and killing each other.

After careful consideration, she only contacted Shen Tinglu for a reply, since that girl was tight-lipped.

"It's good that you're alright at the beginning of the year. Since the Secret Palace has a special introductory method, we won't go there to cultivate, and it won't affect anything." Shen Tinglu was also very cautious, only using text messages to communicate and not using voice transmission.

"But demons from the Great Wilderness and people from the Spirit Realm can enter."

Therefore, I want to use some treasures to lure more of them into the formation. Shen Suiren was not greedy. As shown in the picture, there were more than a dozen people trapped in the formation. If you don't pay attention for a while, several of them have already killed each other.

The reason lies in the swamp, where there is something that bewitches the mind.

Shen Tinglu put her mind to work and quickly suggested: "Spread rumors among the cultivators that a new secret vault of the Array Sect has been discovered, containing an ancient tribulation-crossing array."

However, the current restrictions are difficult to break, so the best location is the snow mountain.

It wouldn't be surprising if the explosion there led to the discovery of the secret vault.

"It's a cost-effective method."

I sent a message to Elder Fire Qilin to see if he could spread the word among the demon cultivators.” Shen Suiren originally intended to contact Prime Minister Wo, but before sending the message, he changed his mind and contacted Fire Qilin instead.

The other party responded quickly, agreeing readily without even asking why.

The next morning, a message was sent saying that many people were heading towards the snow mountain.

Shen Suiren then adjusted the array patterns once more, forcing all those who had been immobilized yesterday into a corner.

Surprisingly, one or two members of that group remained remarkably sober after being struck by lightning, and they advised everyone to hold off on taking action for now.

She snorted coldly, amplified the illusion of the magic circle, and unleashed a barrage of attacks.

If they fight for a whole day and night, even if their spiritual power is greater than that of a true Core Formation cultivator, and they are not given a chance to breathe, they will not be able to withstand the combination of infighting and magic array attacks.

By the afternoon, when the group of people and demons trapped in the formation were beyond dead, Wo Xiang tried to send her a message, and to his surprise, it went through immediately.

"Where are you at the beginning of the year? I'll come pick you up myself."

"No need, no need, I'm fine. I just don't know if you would be willing to go to the snow mountain."

I heard that a secret vault was discovered there. Shen Suiren left the communication jade on the second floor, while she herself watched the images in the main hall on the first floor.

On the screen, Elder Woxiang and two other monks can be clearly seen flying toward the waterfall.
