Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 133 Message
Within the sect, there are very few second-tier formations that are both illusionary and killing formations.

Among them, the most famous and most powerful formation is the Eight Gates Bewitching Formation, which can only be barely mastered by a second-tier high-grade formation master.

That's right, it's different from the castrated version of the array used in the Array Hall to test cultivators' array skills, which has had its killing power removed.

The Eight Gates Bewitching Array is incredibly powerful; even a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator would be severely injured and forced to flee if they entered it.

However, to Yu Pan's surprise, although the Eight Gates Bewitching Formation covered the entire Drunken Fragrance Residence, the power it emitted was far less terrifying than described in the books.

'Should I flee, or betray them and gain merit?' Yu Pan pondered the question.

"Screech." Tianmu Xuanzhi suddenly looked behind him.

Yu Pan's heart skipped a beat as she noticed that Master Lu had appeared behind her at some point, his face darkening.

“Master Yu, would you be willing to break the formation with me and rescue the patrol officer and Inspector Xiao?” Lu Lei asked calmly.

Clearly, the sudden change had caused Lu Fangzhu's mood to plummet, and her words now were an attempt to force her to choose sides.

If she had refused, she might have perished here with Xiao Hui, becoming a sect parasite who committed suicide out of guilt.

Thinking of this, Yu Pan channeled her magic power and broke the formation without hesitation.

……

On the other side, Chen Beiwu stood inside the great formation and began to mobilize the power of the Ten Directions Gate, preparing to teleport away from this place.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators of Qing Su Island are often away from home, guarding one side. Even if they develop greed, he can understand it. The problem is that the other party's appetite is too big.

If the problem only involved the three Grand Arrays of Gathering Seas and Returning to the Island on Qing Su Island, Chen Beiwu had no interest in reporting it to the sect.

After all, Lu Fangzhu and the others dared to do this, so they must have powerful backers.

However, the fact that Master Lu was willing to agree to his exorbitant demands, offering 25,000 spirit stones, suggests that the problematic Gathering Sea Returning Island Formation is very likely to exceed double digits.

What is this concept?
The Gathering Sea Returning to Island Grand Formation is a high-grade third-tier grand formation. Even if we take a conservative estimate, the cost of setting up thirty-six grand formations by the sect could be enough to cultivate several Golden Core True Persons.

If the incident on Qing Su Island comes to light, the sect will be furious. Chen Beiwu doesn't want to become a scapegoat for a few spirit stones and a beautiful woman.

However, if he disagrees, it is unlikely that he can safely leave the private room and return to the sect.

So he made an exorbitant demand, creating an opportunity to be isolated so that he wouldn't be surrounded and attacked by the three Foundation Establishment cultivators, leaving him no chance to escape even by releasing the Eight Gates Bewitching Mind Array.

Before completely teleporting away, Chen Beiwu wanted to test the difference between a Qi Refining Level 10 cultivator and a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Heaven generates water, the Three Powers lock the abyss, the Fivefold Lock of Fate, the formation begins!"

Chen Beiwu channeled his magical power and used his fingers to draw nine Kan trigram array patterns in the air.

The next second, the five-layered water-locking array plate in his hand shot out twenty-four black rays that plunged into the earth's veins.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged, twenty-four jets of dark black water shot into the sky, centered on Chen Beiwu's location.

These water columns stirred up the earth's cold energy, transforming it into a deep blue mist that permeated the formation. Finally, it condensed into five illusory Life-Locking Abyss Pythons, completely surrounding Xiao Qing, who had lost his three senses.

'A trifle!'

Xiao Qing raised his palm, his eyes filled with contempt, and pointed at the Life-Locking Abyss Pythons. Five beams of frost light instantly crushed the five Life-Locking Abyss Pythons with overwhelming force.

Such methods might be useful against Qi Refining cultivators, but she is a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, just one step away from entering the late Foundation Establishment stage.

"Boom!"

At the same time, the five-layered water-locking array plate in Chen Beiwu's hand cracked slightly, emitting a faint cracking sound as if it was about to collapse.

"Got you."

Xiao Qing's figure flashed, and his five fingers aimed at Chen Zi'ang's meridian nodes.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!" As five beams of frost descended, Chen Ziang's aura instantly plummeted to the early stage of Qi Refining, and a look of terror appeared on his face.

"Lord Patrol Envoy, why did you suddenly attack me? That's not good." Xiao Qing's eyes were alluring as she licked her rosy lips, took off her clothes, and began to circulate her internal energy, intending to continue what she had just finished.

But the next second, Chen Ziang in front of her suddenly disappeared, turning into a hazy mist.

'Damn it, I was tricked by a Qi Refining cultivator!' Xiao Qing was slightly stunned, but quickly realized that she had been under an illusion.

Chen Beiwu was somewhat surprised to see Xiao Qing stark naked in the distance.

Unexpectedly, the gap between him and a Foundation Establishment cultivator was so vast.

Even with the use of the Fivefold Water Locking Array and the Illusionary Mist, Xiao Qing could only be confused for a moment.

It should be noted that the range of his divine sense is comparable to that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the Illusionary Mist he unleashed at full power should theoretically be able to trap a Foundation Establishment cultivator in an illusion for ten breaths.

"Crack!"

Hearing the soft sound from the array plate, Chen Beiwu knew that the Eight Gates Bewitching Array was about to be broken. He lost the will to continue testing and his figure disappeared as the Ten Directions Gate opened, turning into a golden light.

Three-quarters of an hour later, the great formation collapsed with a roar, and the three Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered together.

"Where is the patrol officer?" Lu Lei and Yu Pan looked at Xiao Qing.

“He got away.” Xiao Qing said with a pale face and a bitter smile.

"You...!" Lu Lei clenched his fist, then quickly released it, his face grim.

"Should we run away?" Xiao Qing murmured.

"Where can you escape to? You know the strength of the sect." Lu Lei turned to look at the swarming market cultivator guards behind him and waved for them to retreat.

……

A figure suddenly appeared in the dusty, simple cave.

"Phew, the Southern Wilderness is truly chaotic!" Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air.

He simply wanted to complete the sect's missions properly, accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for cultivation techniques and resources, and successfully advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Who would have thought that such a lucrative job would hide such great danger?

'Am I being used as a pawn?'

Chen Beiwu's mind raced, and he suddenly remembered the Palace Master Lin who loved to play matchmaker.

But upon closer reflection, he dismissed the guess.

If Palace Master Lin had foreseen this, he wouldn't have sent a Qi Refining cultivator like him to his death.

"Buzz!"

As the communication talisman transformed into a rainbow of light and disappeared, Chen Beiwu sat down cross-legged, studying the Moon Dew and the withered thunder branch while quietly waiting for his senior sister's reply.

……

The top of the moon.

The Mirror Moon Sect, the Array Hall, the cave dwelling of the hall master.

Yun Yishu put down her array brush, looked at the third-order array plate that had just been inscribed in front of her, and showed a satisfied expression.

Just then, a communication talisman that quietly appeared outside the cave caught her attention.

"The Gathering Sea Returns to the Island Formation... Lu Lei... bribery... no time to investigate evidence... if possible, leave Eagle in..."

After reading the message from her junior brother Chen Ziang, Yun Yishu raised an eyebrow, feeling both surprised and amused.

To her surprise, Junior Brother Chen was able to escape from three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and she was also amazed by the audacity and greed of the Qing Su Island's higher-ups.

What's both funny and frustrating is that even at this hour, Junior Brother Chen is still thinking about Yu Pan's spirit beast and begging her to spare its life.

"If this is true, Junior Brother Chen has indeed done a great service to the sect." Yun Yishu put away the communication talisman, her eyes revealing a murderous aura.
