Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 364 Slaughter! Nourishing the Great Array with Their Bloodline!

"You dared to invade the core area of ​​Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum more than a thousand years ago. I must say, you are very bold and curious. But with your current resources and strength, you are simply no match for me and cannot obtain the treasures within the city."

"However, your courage and audacity have piqued my interest during my endless years of tedious guarding this place. So, I'll give you a chance—a chance to obtain the treasures within the city."

"What opportunity?" The many desperate geniuses, who had intended to leave, were given a glimmer of hope by the Terracotta Warriors' words. They all turned their heads excitedly, eager for an answer.

"Haha..." The terracotta warrior laughed, looking at them with a rather amused expression, then turned to look at the vast sky, gazing at the endless stars: "Just bring me enough demon heads."

"Demon heads? This Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is full of terracotta warriors, where would demons come from?" Xue Dingshan was puzzled. Since entering the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, all he had seen were terracotta warriors, and there was no trace of demons at all.

"There are naturally demons within Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum, and quite a few of them, whose bloodlines are all extraordinary." The Terracotta Warriors seemed to recall, to sigh, and to reminisce about the past: "Back when I had not yet perished, and my cultivation was still in the late stage of the Great Luo realm, I followed His Majesty on a northern expedition to Beiju Luzhou. We stormed into the demon territory and plundered their treasures..."

"During this time, we also seized the 'Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array' from the demon race. Unfortunately, the demon race guarded this array too well, so our Great Qin sacrificed many Grand Luo Immortals to barely manage to seize a portion of the array diagram and its inheritance."

"Afterwards, His Majesty summoned the array cultivators of the human race at that time to study the incomplete Zhou Tian Star Array. However, the Zhou Tian Star Array truly lived up to its reputation as one of the top arrays in the prehistoric world. Even with much effort, it was difficult to comprehend much of it. In the end, they barely managed to produce a half-finished product that seemed to be something else."

"Later, when His Majesty the First Emperor opened the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, he plundered the essence of many stars and collected the cores of many stars to evolve this unfinished fragment of the Zhou Tian Xing Chen (a celestial constellation). Later, in order to perfect this formation, he captured countless descendants of the ancient demon court. He hoped to use the bloodline of these descendants of the demon court, and the demon race heritage imprinted within them, to perfect the great formation."

"Wait... Senior, capturing the descendants of the ancient demon court can perfect the Zhou Tian Star Array? What's the logic behind that?" Di Xiao suddenly asked, even with his wisdom and comprehension, he couldn't understand such words.

This week, the Heavenly Star Array, if it wants to be perfected, why isn't it seeking out more array cultivators? Why is it searching for the descendants of the Ancient Demon Court?

The terracotta warrior looked deeply at Di Xiao, as if it knew him: "I know you. You are Di Xiao, the human prodigy with extremely high comprehension who created the divine power of military strategy! Speaking of which, your entry into Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum for training this time is not only due to your sufficient aptitude and strength, but also because of the encouragement of many sages."

Di Xiao frowned, filled with doubt about what the terracotta warrior had said. Could it be that there was some hidden secret behind his training at Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum?

The terracotta warrior didn't hide anything: "Back then, when we were fighting the demon race, we plundered not only the fragments of the Zhou Tian Star Array, but also many of the demon race's inherited methods, as well as many inheritances that the demon race had obtained from plundering all races in ancient times. Unfortunately, these inherited methods were either incomplete or had their true meaning deliberately hidden by the demon race."

"Therefore, even though we, the Great Qin and the human race, have obtained these inheritances, we can only look at them, not cultivate them. This is inevitably somewhat painful. Over the years, whenever a genius with exceptional comprehension appears among the human race, they will come into contact with these fragments to some extent, to see if they can comprehend them."

"But the result is that many highly talented geniuses are simply unable to repair the incomplete inheritance. Yet you, Di Xiao, repaired the inheritance?"

The inexplicable words swept through Di Xiao's mind like a cold wind. In an instant, many things that were difficult to understand became clear.

Di Xiao's eyes widened, and he inadvertently stepped forward: "Back in the Tang Dynasty, during the dual civil and military examinations, the ninety-nine kinds of inheritances that appeared in the martial arts test I participated in were one such test!"

"Indeed, those ninety-nine inheritances are fragments of the inheritances of an ancient race. After you obtained these fragments, you comprehended them, created new methods by integrating them. Such comprehension and wisdom are truly admirable."

"In addition, the Threefold Slaying of Defilement Technique, which has been passed down in the Tang Dynasty for many years, is itself a fragment of the ancient Qingling Clan's inheritance. It was finally created after the guidance of Grand Master Xuandu and the wisdom of his descendants."

"You were able to create the fourth and fifth levels of the Defilement Severing Technique beyond the third level. Your comprehension and wisdom are truly astonishing. Therefore, your visit to the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum this time is not only for training, but also to test your wisdom and comprehension, and whether you can perfect the many fragmented inheritances that the Qin Dynasty plundered."

Well, what the terracotta warriors said instantly made Di Xiao feel that the world was like a chessboard, and every living being was a chess piece.

I thought I had gotten this far solely through my own efforts and a bit of luck. But looking at the current outcome, it seems that every step I took was filled with temptations and trials.

Di Xiao genuinely felt uncomfortable with this feeling.

Di Xiao's displeasure was immediately apparent: "This feeling of being secretly manipulated is truly unpleasant. Tell me, was everything I received after entering Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum also pre-arranged?"

"No, that's not true. As far as I know, no one can guide you during your growth. At most, they can only arrange some tests for you." The terracotta warrior seemed to sense Di Xiao's displeasure and quickly tried to appease him.

What could Di Xiao say? He could only smile wryly. "Fine. Let me answer my question from earlier. Why were the descendants of the Demon Court able to repair the Zhou Tian Star Array?"

"This is because the Zhou Tian Star Array was once imprinted in the bloodline of the demon race. Back then, the Demon Court spent countless efforts to evolve the Zhou Tian Star Array. After all, the Zhou Tian Star Array contains endless stars in the sky, making it the most intricate, complex, and massive array in the primordial world."

"To evolve this formation, the cooperation of countless demons is essential. And to perfectly control the demons, unify the formation, and then unleash its power, the demons have searched for many methods. In the end, it was the secret method created by the demon master Kunpeng that imprinted the formation patterns and inheritance into their bloodlines. Then, these demons were stationed at the various formation nodes, and through the imprints in their bloodlines, they could control the formation in a unified manner."

"Therefore, many demon races still retain some array patterns and fragments of the Zhou Tian Star Array within their bloodlines. So we raise these demon races, allowing them to inherit their bloodlines, and then sacrifice their bloodlines. This allows us to obtain the array patterns within them, and then perfect the Zhou Tian Star Array."

"Unfortunately, after so many years, the Zhou Tian Star Array has not been repaired much. Now, the demon race imprisoned in the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum has, through the reproduction and awakening of a new generation, seen many of them have inherited array patterns in their bloodlines. And the next step is to slaughter them and use their bloodlines to nourish the array."
