Chapter 882 Change of Thoughts
Nan Yue took the shattered array plate with some skepticism and examined it carefully. After a while, he had to admit that it was indeed as Cao Yi had said. He could only see traces of array patterns on the edge of the array plate, while the rest was blank.

Handing the shattered array disc back casually, Nan Yue said helplessly:
"If what you say is true, please forgive me for being powerless, because I cannot refine array plates of this level or higher."

Situ Xuanming, still somewhat unwilling to give up, said:

“Brother Nan Yue, why don’t you try again? We have already gathered all the materials we could find to refine this array plate. If we stop here, the missions on the ancient battlefield will continue indefinitely.”

Nan Yue accepted the forging hammer and replied helplessly:
"This is not something I can solve. As you can see, being able to refine a ninth-grade blank array plate is already my limit."

Cao Yi, who was standing to the side, knew that the Southern Yue Venerable One was not lying. After thinking for a moment, he said:
“Seniors, how about I go and invite Venerable Ranxi over? After all, the array patterns need her to inscribe them, and perhaps she has a solution.”

Situ Xuanming brushed aside a stray strand of hair and said:
"Then go and invite Ranxi over, and we'll discuss it further."

"Yes."

After Cao Yi agreed, he turned around and went to invite someone.

He and Situ Xuanming have now moved their base to the weapon-refining room in Nan Yue. The three of them have been stationed in the weapon-refining room for a month or so, in order to refine an array plate that can carry special array patterns. However, they have not even formed an array embryo yet, so they have to ask for outside help.

Upon seeing Cao Yi's somewhat disheveled appearance, Yunxi smiled and asked:

"Cao Yi, are you learning weapon crafting techniques?"

Cao Yi then realized that he hadn't even changed out of his robes when he came to invite the person. The blue robe he was wearing was stained with the scorching heat unique to the weapon-refining room. He immediately cast a purification spell on himself before bowing and saying:

"Your Excellency, please don't make fun of me. I haven't even mastered the art of array formations yet. It's because Senior Situ sought out a weapon refiner from the Southern Yue in order to refine an array plate that can withstand the power of the array patterns you inscribed. The three of us have been busy for a long time, but we still haven't made any progress. We can only ask Your Excellency to go there and see if we can find another way."

Yunxi understood Cao Yi's plea for help and nodded, saying:

"Although I don't know if my going will be of any help to them, it's always good to have another person come up with ideas. I'll go with you to meet the two fellow Daoists now."

Cao Yi immediately cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Excellency Ranxi. This way, please."

Two quarters of an hour later, Yunxi entered Nan Yue's private weapon-refining room and met Situ Xuanming, who was becoming increasingly unkempt.

After introducing themselves and exchanging pleasantries, Situ Xuanming forcefully steered the conversation toward refining array plates.

Nan Yue rotated his wrist and spoke frankly:
“Fellow Daoist Ranxi, although I have not witnessed the power of the array patterns you inscribed, I have seen the broken array plate. With my current strength, I cannot create a new array plate that surpasses that one.”

Situ Xuanming nodded silently, knowing full well that Nan Yue had done its best.

After thinking for a moment, Yunxi asked:

"Based on Fellow Daoist Nan Yue's experience, what level of array plate would be needed to withstand the array patterns I inscribed?"

"It must be at least a Celestial-grade array plate, otherwise no matter how many blank array plates we refine, they will be useless."

After thinking about it, Yunxi realized that Nan Yue was telling the truth. The script she had drawn was divine, and the array plates made in the cultivation world really couldn't withstand its power.

Situ Xuanming rubbed his fingers together and said:

"If we could find the Sky-Mending Stone..." Cao Yi felt that Situ Xuanming was being delusional. The Sky-Mending Stone was just a legend and had never appeared in the Spirit Realm. Even if they wanted to find it, there were no clues.

Nan Yue glanced at Situ Xuanming but didn't reply. If he had such top-notch refining materials, he would have already broken through to the ninth rank and wouldn't be here looking so worried.

Yunxi also felt that Situ Xuanming's idea was good, but it was impossible to realize, so she changed her approach and said:
"Everyone, this is an ancient battlefield. There must be weapons left behind by fallen gods and immortals, and even damaged array plates. If we can extract useful materials from these damaged weapons and array plates, we might be able to refine array plates that can bear the power of array patterns."

"During this refining of the array plate, I will cooperate with Fellow Daoist Nan Yue. We will begin inscribing the array patterns as the array plate takes shape, and the array patterns will be completed simultaneously once the array plate is finished."

Upon hearing Yunxi's suggestion, Nan Yue and Situ Xuanming's eyes lit up. How come they hadn't thought of such a good idea?
Nan Yue was the first to speak:

“Cultivators who enter the ancient battlefield also explore areas outside the battlefield. I heard that some cultivators have dug up damaged weapons. We can issue a joint announcement later to collect a batch of damaged weapons, and then decompose them to extract useful immortal-grade materials, which will solve our current predicament.”

Situ Xuanming stood up abruptly and said:
"Ranxi's suggestion is excellent. I will go find True Venerable Xiao He now. If we can find a properly damaged Immortal-grade array plate, we can simply erase the array patterns on it and then inscribe new array patterns."

After saying that, he disappeared from the weapon-refining room.

Cao Yi couldn't just leave like that, so he sat respectfully at the lower seat and looked at Yun Xi and Nan Yue.

Yunxi already knew Situ Xuanming's temperament, so she said nothing. Turning to look at Nan Yue, whose expression was calm, she knew that he was also used to Situ's style of doing things, so she smiled and said:

“Decomposing materials is not an easy task, and it will probably take some time. Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Nan Yue.”

Nan Yue stroked his thick beard and said:
"Decomposing immortal-grade materials has improved my weapon-refining skills, which is a good thing. There's no need to talk about hardship."

After exchanging a few more words about refining materials, Yunxi took her leave, and Cao Yi followed her out of the refining room in Nan Yue.

"Cao Yi, you must seize this opportunity to get a few immortal-grade array plates. Even the damaged ones will be of help to you."

Cao Yi immediately nodded and said:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I understand."

Not long after the two parted, Yunxi saw the announcement issued by Nan Yue and Situ Xuanming in the jade token that Yu Ling had given her. They were exchanging the damaged weapons and array plates they found on the ancient battlefield. Some cultivators had already gone to the two's temporary residence in groups. It seemed that they were going to get busy.

Wuwangxu

The Evil Lord was soaking in a pool of blood, his bare skin covered with countless black lines that were spreading toward his face.

"Fool! You actually let yourself be poisoned!"

The Evil Lord, interrupted by the mocking voice, opened his crimson eyes and gritted his teeth, saying:

"It's because you didn't eradicate the Healing Immortal Sect back then that I've been poisoned like this today."

Before the Evil Lord could finish speaking, a flash of red light appeared and his head fell into the blood pool. A moment later, a nascent soul floated out of the Evil Lord's body. The little nascent soul had a blank look on its face and was surrounded by black energy. The next instant, it was grabbed by a pair of hands with distinct knuckles. The owner of the hands only uttered the word "noisy" before crushing the Evil Lord's nascent soul.

"Li Ning, you killed him, who will go out and suppress those spirit realm cultivators?"
