I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 286 The Spirit Fusion Array (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Beneath the deep crevices of the Tengshe Forest, dark green moss crawls all over the damp rock walls.

Xuan Hui crushed the rotten leaves and withered bones, and the snakes rustled and scattered like the receding tide. He then inserted the dark red array flag into the rock crevice, and the earth's yin energy spread out from the base of the flagpole like ink.

hiss--

Suddenly, a two-headed serpent demon as thick as a bowl descended from the top of the rock wall. Just as the left serpent head spewed out poisonous mist, the Golden Crow True Fire in Xuan Hui's sleeve transformed into a flowing rainbow and flew out.

The flames engulfed the two-headed serpent demon, turning it into black ash before it even hit the ground, which then drifted away like smoke in the eerie wind.

"Back when I followed Your Excellency to vanquish demons in the North Sea, you were just a tiny bean sprout, barely taller than a sword, looking at me with eyes shining and a face full of adoration..."

Xuan Hui kicked away several small snakes while cursing, and the twelve array nails in his hand automatically floated and arranged themselves.

"Now that you're all grown up, you have no respect for your elders at all. You even have to order me around when you're planting a flag... Hmm?"

Xuan Hui turned around abruptly, and the girl in green who had been sitting cross-legged on the rock had vanished into thin air.

"Jiang Yi?!"

Xuanhui's Nascent Soul power exploded, instantly scorching the moss on the rock wall black.

Xuan Hui transformed into a golden rainbow and burst out of the crack, his gaze like lightning as he scanned the surrounding snakes.

Seeing a swamp python that had just finished eating and whose belly was swollen, Xuan Hui rushed over without saying a word. With a flick of his sleeve, clouds and mist gathered into two hands, which he used to lift the python upside down and pull out the contents of its belly.

Anaconda: Ugh~~~
Seeing that it was a crocodile demon, Xuan Hui casually threw the anaconda back into the swamp and continued searching the surrounding area.

Anaconda: …………

When Xuan Hui returned carrying the three snake demon corpses, he saw Jiang Yi still sitting on the same rock, slowly tying the gourd back to her waist, her hair perfectly styled.

"Where did you run off to?!" Xuan Hui angrily threw the snake demon's remains to the ground.

"I've been meditating here the whole time, I haven't gone anywhere!"

Jiang Yi blinked with just the right amount of curves, conveying a watery innocence and bewilderment.

Xuan Hui squinted at Jiang Yi for a moment, and was about to speak when Jiang Yi suddenly took out the Heart-Piercing Mirror from his bosom, breathed on it to wipe it clean, and soaked it in the Sword-Washing Pool for a long time, making the mirror surface much brighter.

"I'll get you sooner or later... Humph!"

Xuan Hui gritted his teeth. This brat must be doing the same thing as last time on the mountain path, using him to test the effects of some magical artifact. She must have been hiding on the spot, watching him make a fool of himself.

Your Majesty, don't you even look at her?

You are bullying Yun too much!

Xuan Hui grumbled and cursed, but worked tirelessly and continued to set up the Spirit Fusion Array for Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi had just hidden in Youxian Ferry, wanting to test whether the Sword Nourishing Gourd's "One Leaf Blocks the View" effect could evade the divine sense detection of high-level cultivators.

It seems feasible now, but we can't overuse or rely on it too much. Xuan Hui was clearly flustered just now and didn't investigate carefully. If he encounters a meticulous Nascent Soul cultivator, there will definitely be risks.

I forgot to mention that ever since she activated all the functions of the Sword Nurturing Gourd with the Yaoling Sword, she is now inside the gourd and can see the scene outside the gourd through the surface of the Sword Washing Pool.

Jiang Yi continued wiping the Heart-Piercing Mirror, saying, "You said that besides revealing people's dark history and making sarcastic remarks, it would be great if you could record information like a jade slip. That way, when the 'Hundred Refinements of Heaven' is delivered, I won't have to rack my brains to remember it. Blueprints are not as easy to remember as text."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yi felt the Heart-Piercing Mirror in his hand vibrate slightly. The mirror surface was like water, and an ancient character slowly appeared.

【Can】

Jiang Yi was pleasantly surprised, "Zhu Zhu, you can communicate with me now?"

This book is titled 'Piercing the Heart', not 'Piercing the Soul'.

"Alright, Zhu Xin, besides the two abilities I just mentioned, what else can you do?"

The mirror of the Heart-Piercing Mirror rippled like water, slowly revealing lines of text. The mirror was too small; once one line appeared, it was quickly replaced by the next.

This guide, based on past observations, knowledge, and insights, can answer your questions, analyze techniques, and pinpoint your enemy's weaknesses. However, please refrain from asking questions about appearance or the depth of affection.

The power of this artifact increases daily as the seal is gradually broken.

"Then how do I break your seal?"

[Having vented all pent-up anger and resentment, the seal is broken.]

Simply put, it means letting the Heart-Piercing Mirror curse people until it's done cursing and its mind is clear, at which point the seal will lose its effect. "Alright, I'll give you more opportunities to curse people in the future. By the way, now that you've regained your intelligence, can you help me check if there's anything wrong with the way this Spirit Fusion Array fuses spiritual roots?"

Jiang Yi took out the repair process for her spiritual root, which she had reorganized and recorded, and placed the jade slip directly on the mirror.

The mirror-like water continued to ripple, and after a moment, a few lines of text appeared.

Jiang Yi took the jade slip and nodded. "It seems you have accumulated a lot of experience in the past. Your analysis is the same as mine. I already have a solution for this drawback. Do you have a better one?"

As the old characters on the mirror sank and the new characters emerged, Jiang Yi's understanding grew clearer and clearer.

After a moment, Jiang Yi smiled and relaxed, "In that case, I have nothing to fear. Thank you for your insightful advice."

It would be my great honor to serve you.

"You actually know how to flatter? I know you're attracted to my laziness, not me as a person. One last question, what is a demon?"

Zhu Xin Jian paused for a moment before answering Jiang Yi's question.

What is a demon? Even the Heart-Piercing Mirror doesn't know. It means that in the time of its birth, all cultivators who sacrificed humans and followed evil paths were demons.

But in reality, in ancient times, the only things that could truly be called demons were the inner demons of cultivators.

Some people, after losing control of their inner demons, become cruel and bloodthirsty, and follow their inner demons' temptations to take shortcuts in cultivation, causing numerous bloodshed and becoming the original demonic cultivators.

When the Heart-Piercing Mirror was still known as the Heart-Questioning Mirror, it was forged specifically to resolve the inner demons of cultivators.

It has been at least seven thousand years since it was sealed away, and due to a lack of information, it does not know what the demons of today are.

In today's cultivation world, due to the emergence of the North Sea Demon Tide and demonic creatures, those cultivators who were called demonic cultivators in ancient times are now classified as evil cultivators for distinction.

"Alright, Zhu Xin, you should rest now. After I deal with the demon at the Fire Spirit Root location, I might be able to give you more clues about the Demon Clan."

Jiang Yi returned the Heart-Piercing Mirror to Youxian Ferry, where it now prefers to soak in the Sword-Washing Pool.

After setting up the Heart-Piercing Mirror, Jiang Yi didn't rush to withdraw her consciousness. Instead, she traversed the sea of ​​sword energy and arrived at the summit of Sword Tomb Mountain, where she found the Radiant Spirit Sword embedded in the grand formation at the top...

Xuan Hui worked diligently, setting up the Spirit Fusion Array according to the array diagram given by Jiang Yi. After setting it up, he checked it three times to verify every detail, waiting for the array to gather Yin energy.

At midnight, the night was as dark as ink.

Deep in the canyon, a cold wind howled, and the jagged rock walls gleamed with a bluish-black light under the moonlight.

The twelve array flags of the Fusion Spirit Array fluttered in the wind, their dark red runes flowing with the yin wind, drawing in the yin energy of the earth's veins like blood vessels, condensing into a thick, inky mist within the array.

"Have you finished adjusting your breathing? It's time!" Xuan Hui urged impatiently.

"Alright, alright, everything's ready."

Jiang Yi's consciousness withdrew from Youxian Ferry, and she yawned wearily, causing Xuan Hui to frown repeatedly.

"You've been meditating all day, yet you look like you've had all your energy drained. It's obvious you're just faking it and slacking off!"

Faced with Xuan Hui's complaints, Jiang Yi smiled without saying a word, stepped on the dead bones scattered on the ground and walked into the eye of the formation, her blue clothes fluttering in the cold wind.

She took out a palm-sized green wooden cauldron. The moment the lid was lifted, a black and red intertwined fire phoenix roared out, and the demonic flames instantly scorched the dark mist within the formation, creating charred and foul-smelling holes.

The phoenix spread its wings to escape, but crashed hard into an invisible barrier, its feathers exploding into a shower of sparks.

Wow!
Eight chains engraved with runes shot out from the array flags. The fire phoenix twisted and deformed under the strangulation of the chains, eventually turning into a girl and falling into the center of the array.

Her tattered red clothes looked as if they had been scorched by a raging fire, and her exposed skin was covered with spiderweb-like black patterns, creating a stark contrast with Jiang Yiqing's upright and honest appearance.

The demonic girl spat out a mouthful of black blood, "You think an ordinary formation can kill me? Don't dream!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xuan Hui suddenly flung his hand, and the Golden Crow True Fire transformed into a golden fire net that enveloped the girl's head. The flames poured into the girl's seven orifices along the chains, and she let out a non-human shriek from her throat. The demonic energy around her melted away like boiling oil poured on snow.

"Enough with the nonsense." Xuan Hui flicked his sleeve and sneered, scolding Jiang Yi, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"

Xuan Hui remained as impatient as ever.

Jiang Yi took out a pill and put it in her mouth. She patiently and meticulously followed the method of spirit fusion to mobilize the true essence in her body, condensing it into fine threads that emerged from her dantian.

The girl opposite him looked up with a wicked smile. "So you wanted to merge with me? Very well, that'll give me a taste of your soul. This body of yours, I'll gladly accept it... Ah!!!"

Xuan Hui frowned and increased the firepower, causing the girl to scream in agony.
