Cultivating Immortality: I Can See the Script of Life

Wan Yi's expression suddenly changed.

"What's going on?"

"A formation?"

"Who is lying in ambush?"

Without a second thought, Wan Yi quickly took out the Earth Tower, raised it to the top of his head, and cast down beams of earth-yellow spiritual light to protect himself.

He then cautiously looked around, his mind racing with various possibilities.

"Is it the Chen family?"

"Did Chen Zizhi see through my disguise and come to arrest me?"

"No, she's only just taken office; she can't find out much yet."

"Moreover, if the Chen family really wanted to harm me, they could easily take me down; why go through all this trouble?"

"Is that Wu Wei?"

"But I don't have any deep-seated hatred for him. At most, it's just that Qian Zhuo is taking his anger out on me?"

"But Qian Zhuo is suspected to be dead."

"Moreover, Wu Wei wouldn't go to such lengths to set up an ambush on a newly initiated disciple like me."

Just then, a figure appeared inside the formation.

The person was wearing a mask, so their face was not visible.

Even though Wan Yi activated his spiritual sense, trying to find out the other party's identity.

But as soon as his spiritual sense approached the other's mask, it was bounced back by an invisible force and could not penetrate it at all.

This mask actually has the wonderful effect of blocking spiritual consciousness; it seems they were prepared in advance!

Wan Yi, however, remained completely calm.

Although he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, he could directly view the other person's profile and know their background.

Just open the box and name it.

Name: Xiong Fu

[Talent: Inferior Aptitude (White), Strong and Robust (White)]

[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Fetal Breathing]

[Fate: Supporting role in "Asking the Immortal Path in the Array"]

"Bear Support?"

Wan Yi frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of something.

When I was selling "The Azure Puppet Suppressing Evil Mystic Art" on the second floor of the Corpse Puppet Hall, the steward in charge of registration was also surnamed Xiong, and his name was Xiong Bi.

Could it be that Xiong Fu and Xiong Bi are related?

Are they brothers, or from the same clan?

Yes, Xiong Bi knew he was quite wealthy, and he also knew his cultivation level was only at the early stage of the embryonic breathing realm.

Perhaps he had his eye on him and sent Xiong Fu to ambush him.

Wan Yi thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible, so he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"That Xiong Bi is a real scoundrel. As a steward of the Corpse Puppet Hall, he's doing robbery and plunder."

"This is a serious crime that violates the sect rules."

"If you don't get caught, it means you haven't broken any rules, right?"

"That's really the style of a disciple of the Demonic Sect."

However, Wan Yi also noticed the new script on the panel.

"Asking the Immortal Path in Formation"...

The name itself suggests a connection to formations.

It seems the protagonist of the new script is proficient in formations.

The array formation lineage of Biyang Sect resides in the Array Training Hall.

I should go back to the Battle Formation Hall and see if I can find any trace of the protagonist and seize a chance.

But the most important thing now is to survive.

Wan Yi dared not delay for even a moment, and immediately activated the Kunyuan Blade, slashing fiercely at Xiong Fu.

However, Xiong Fu seemed to have expected this, showing no sign of panic on his face. He took out a yellow talisman from his pocket, flicked it with his fingertip, and the talisman instantly floated into the air, radiating a bright spiritual light.

This talisman is called the Mountain-Suppressing and Spirit-Locking Talisman. It is specifically designed to suppress earth-elemental magical artifacts and spells, and its effects are naturally terrifying.

Once activated, the yellow talisman transformed into chains that coiled around the Kunyuan Blade like venomous snakes.

Wan Yi wanted to retrieve the Kunyuan Blade, but it was too late.

The Kunyuan Blade spun around, but before it could fly back, it was firmly locked by the chains and could not move.

No matter how Wan Yi urged it, it remained completely still.

Seeing this, Wan Yi panicked.

"So much preparation?"

"They really came prepared."

Before he could react, Xiong Fu took out another precious mirror, about the size of a palm.

He raised the treasure mirror in the air, and a thick beam of azure light shot out, directly smashing towards the Earth Tower above Wan Yi's head.

Although the Earth Tower is a defensive magical artifact, it seemed to struggle against the sudden blue light. It only held its own for a moment before being broken by the blue light.

Immediately afterwards, the azure light continued without pause, hurtling head-on towards Wan Yi.

At the critical moment, Wan Yi activated the Heavy Mountain Armor.

A massive, illusory mountain instantly materialized around him.

At the same time, he used the Flowing Cloud Escape Technique, his body transforming into a wisp of cloud, and swiftly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the azure light.

Wan Yi steadied himself, his back already drenched in a cold sweat.

"What is the origin of this magical artifact?"

"Wow, that's incredible! It shattered my Earth Tower with a single move!"

He examined the precious mirror carefully, then suddenly realized what it meant, and his face instantly turned ugly.

"Is this a ritual implement made of Yi Wood?"

Within the Five Elements, Wood overcomes Earth.

If it is Jia wood, it is still good for Ji earth, because Jia and Ji are compatible, and they are compatible but not conflicting, so there is not much conflicting power.

However, Yi Wood and Ji Earth are mutually restraining, with Yi Wood being the most powerful restraining force.

His own set of Earth-based magical artifacts were completely countered by this Wood-based magic mirror, putting him at a huge disadvantage.

The fact that Xiong Fu was so well-prepared and targeted must be closely related to Xiong Bi.

Only that bastard Xiong Bi knew so much about the magical artifacts he had purchased.

Nowadays, a direct confrontation is definitely not an option.

Not only is the opponent's cultivation level higher than mine, but they also have targeted talismans and magical artifacts. If I want to survive, I can only win by surprise.

It seems we can only rely on the Tiger Poison Gu as our trump card!

This trump card is unknown to everyone, and Xiong Fu certainly doesn't know it either.

As long as we use magic to conceal our attack and activate the Tiger Poison Gu to launch a sneak attack, we might have a chance to turn the tables and kill them.

Thinking of this, Wan Yi immediately used the Mountain-Splitting Technique he had just learned.

Two intense yellow beams of light burst forth, one from the left and one from the right, slamming fiercely towards Xiong Fu.

Xiong Fu saw the two beams of yellow light, but his face remained completely expressionless.

According to my cousin, this person has only just begun practicing the Mountain-Splitting Technique, so how much power can he possibly possess?

There's no need to be afraid; we must capture this person quickly.

If a passing disciple notices something is wrong, that would be troublesome.

Xiong Fu cast a defensive spell, generating a protective aura that enveloped his entire body. He then summoned the divine wooden mirror again, casting a beam of azure light directly at the Chongyue Armor.

When Wan Yi saw the azure light hurtling towards him, he hurriedly and barely managed to activate the Earth Tower, and also pushed the Chongyue Armor to its limit.

However, he focused his attention on the two beams of yellow light generated by the Mountain-Splitting Technique, secretly hiding the tiger poison emitted by the Tiger Poison Gu within the second beam of yellow light.

The next moment, two beams of yellow light struck Xiong Fu's protective aura from the left and right.

The protective aura shattered immediately, barely blocking the first beam of yellow light, but the second beam of yellow light directly broke through Xiong Fu's protective aura.

Xiong Fu was startled and hurriedly activated his escape technique to try to dodge, but it was too late.

His left arm was struck by the yellow light and instantly turned to dust, with blood gushing out from the severed wound.

Xiong Fu shuddered in pain, his face beneath the mask turning extremely pale. He quickly activated his magic to stop the injury.

"This kid's magic is actually that powerful?"
