If I stay in the Hehuan Sect, I'll live off the pampered daughters of the Heavenly Pride Sect.

There is a huge sand table here.

Thirty-six small black flags were planted on the sand table, arranged in a staggered manner.

A faint black mist swirled around each flag.

This is the "Yin Yang Virtue Harmony Array" that he upgraded at great expense.

Originally, this formation was used by the Hehuan Sect to assist in dual cultivation.

It emphasizes the harmony of Yin and Yang and the complementarity of Qi.

But in Mo Chengyue's hands, it changed completely.

"Yin and Yang reversed."

"The Five Elements are reversed."

Mo Chengyue gently flicked one of the flags with his fingers.

The black mist on the sand table surged up instantly.

"It's a monster now."

"It combines the functions of trapping and killing the enemy, inducing hallucinations, providing defense, aphrodisiac effects, weakening the enemy, and causing blindness."

"Whether you are a righteous hero or a demonic master."

"Once you get in, you'll have to go through a lot."

Mo Chengyue looked at the masterpiece before him, his eyes gleaming with fervent light.

But he still had one last concern.

"The theoretical data is perfect."

"But how effective is it in actual combat?"

"Those data are static; I can't go in and test them myself."

"It would be great if I could find someone who is thick-skinned, highly skilled, and preferably someone I know well to be my guinea pig."

Mo Chengyue stroked his chin, his brows furrowed.

Just then.

The eighteen layers of restrictions outside the cave suddenly began to fluctuate violently.

There were no signs of an attack.

That means someone is using specific methods to trigger the restriction.

Followed by.

A languid voice, tinged with a hint of drunkenness and a touch of teasing, pierced through the thick rocks and came in clearly.

"Junior Brother—"

"Is he still in seclusion inside?"

"Are they still alive?"

"Say something if you're still alive. I have some good wine here, senior brother. Come out and have a couple of drinks with me."

Mo Chengyue suddenly looked up.

His eyes lit up instantly.

Its brightness was comparable to the divine thunder from the heavens just now.

That sound.

That tone.

Isn't this the "best guinea pig" with ancient golden elixir techniques, thick skin, and profound cultivation?

Senior Brother, thank you for your help!

"It's like my wish came true."

"We shouldn't refuse experimental data that's offered to us like this."

Mo Chengyue's lips curled up slightly.

He did not immediately break the seal.

Instead, he cleared his throat and shouted loudly towards the cave entrance.

"Senior Brother!"

"I can't do it anymore!"

"I've gone mad!"

"My spiritual energy is flowing backwards, and now my whole body is stiff and I can't move!"

The sounds outside the cave paused for a moment.

They were clearly stunned by this sudden "bad news".

"What?"

"Has he gone mad from practicing qi cultivation?"

Xie Buci's voice instantly lost its languid quality and became somewhat hurried.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"He was perfectly fine just now, how did he suddenly go berserk?"

"Quickly open the barrier, your senior brother will come in and help clear your meridians!"

Mo Chengyue suppressed a laugh inside the cave.

But his tone was even more anxious, and it even sounded like he was about to cry.

"It won't open!"

"The restrictions are out of control!"

"I don't even have the strength to move a single finger!"

"Senior Brother, quickly break through the formation and come in to save me!"

"If you're even a second later, you'll only see your adorable junior brother turn into a dried-up corpse!"

There was silence outside the cave for about three breaths.

Followed by.

An astonishing sword intent surged into the sky.

Even through eighteen layers of restrictions, Mo Chengyue could feel that sharp, bone-chilling coldness.

"Good boy, don't be afraid!"

"Your senior brother is coming to save you!"

"A mere restriction? I'll shatter it with a single sword strike!"

Xie Buci's voice was filled with a sense of responsibility as the senior disciple.

And there's also a subtle...excitement?

I guess it's because I haven't cooked in a long time, and my hands are itching to get started.

Mo Chengyue stood in front of the sand table, his hands moving rapidly in a series of hand seals.

The thirty-six battle flags instantly shone brightly.

Black mist swirled, enveloping the entire cave in an eerie atmosphere.

"Come on, senior brother."

"Let me see where the limits of this Yin-Yang Virtue Harmony Formation lie."

"And I'll help you out while I'm at it..."

Mo Chengyue gave a sinister smile.

"...to stretch your muscles and bones."

"After all, as the junior brother, I have an obligation to help my senior brother maintain the best combat condition."

The sword energy of the peach blossom was like a rainbow piercing the sun.

Before Xie Buci even arrived, his chilling sword intent had already shredded the rocks outside Shelter No. 0 into powder.

He couldn't even bear to put down the wine jug in his hand.

His blue robe fluttered in the wind.

That handsome face, which had captivated countless female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect, was now filled with anxiety and determination.

"Junior brother, don't panic!"

"Your senior brother is coming to rescue you from this sea of ​​suffering!"

The sword light surged.

This was no ordinary slash.

Rather, it was a pinnacle sword strike imbued with Xie Buci's "passionate sword intent".

Wherever the sword energy passed, even the air itself rippled with enchanting pink waves.

The eighteen-layered illusion array was torn apart instantly, like thin paper.

Xie Buci's figure, like a blue shooting star, crashed into the dark hole without hesitation.

Without any hesitation.

This is the sense of responsibility of Senior Brother Qingquan Peak.

Even if he's usually carefree and irresponsible, he'll never let you down when it matters.

however.

The moment Xie Buci's feet touched the ground.

The junior brother who was expected to go mad and bleed profusely did not appear.

There were no chaotic or out-of-control spiritual energy currents around.

There was only a deathly silence and darkness.

as well as.

Mo Chengyue's smug voice, amplified by some kind of sound amplification array, resounded in his ears from all directions.

"Welcome to Vault 0."

"Given the senior brother's high enthusiasm, he volunteered to become the first live test subject."

"Junior brother, I am deeply moved."

"Now, the impact resistance test will officially begin."

Xie Buci's hand holding the sword froze.

He blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes in a daze.

What is that?

Liveness testing?

Before he could react...

Mo Chengyue gave him absolutely no chance to breathe or think.

"The first stage: sensory deprivation and reconstruction."

The voice just fell.

Light suddenly shone in the darkness.

That wasn't ordinary light.

That was the ultimate daylight created by Mo Chengyue compressing and overlapping thousands of "flash talismans" and then instantly detonating them.

Even Xie Buci, a Golden Core cultivator, was stung painfully by the sudden burst of intense light.

Everything before my eyes turned completely white.

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

"Mo Chengyue! You son of a bitch..."

Xie Buci's angry curse was abruptly cut off.

Because an indescribable smell entered his nasal cavity.

It was a stench that was a mixture of thousand-year-old carrion grass, fermented skunk fluid, and a terrible, rotten smell like canned herring.

This flavor is extremely overpowering.

It ignored ordinary spiritual energy shields and burrowed into the body through every pore.

Xie Buci's handsome face instantly turned a sallow green.

My stomach churned violently.

Even someone like him, who is used to drinking strong liquor, almost threw up last year's New Year's Eve dinner.

This is not over yet.

"Sizzle—!!!"

A sharp, soul-chilling sound followed immediately.

That was a sound of "fingernails scratching a blackboard" that Mo Chengyue had specially recorded, and it had been amplified a hundredfold by a sound wave array.

Visual impairment leading to blindness.

Olfactory devastation.

Hearing pollution.

The triple blow came like a storm.

Xie Buci was completely devastated.

His originally elegant and graceful painting style instantly became distorted and grotesque.

"Mo! Cheng! Yue!"

Xie Buci closed his eyes, held his breath, and his spiritual energy surged wildly around him.

A thick peach blossom shield was erected, attempting to keep these disgusting things out.

"Are you asking for a beating, kid?"

"You'd actually resort to such underhanded tactics?"

"Is this the path you cultivate?"

Mo Chengyue's confident voice came from the amplification array.

"Senior Brother, you are mistaken."

"On the battlefield, do you think the enemy will treat you with courtesy?"

"Any tactic that makes the enemy feel disgusted, uncomfortable, and incapacitated is a good tactic."

"This is called tactical deterrence."

Xie Buci laughed in exasperation.

With a flick of his wrist, the longsword emitted a clear, resonant dragon's roar.

"What a clever tactical retreat."

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"I'd like to see how many of my sword strikes your lousy formation can withstand!"

His cultivation at the Golden Core stage erupted completely.

The terrifying pressure caused the entire cave to tremble.

The sword energy filled the sky, transforming into tangible peach blossom petals that swirled wildly around Xie Buci.
