A reincarnated girl, who begins by possessing a cultivator.

She moved swiftly and appeared in front of Su Chun in an instant, her clear eyes fixed on Su Chun, her tone carrying a hint of urgency.

"You understand formations? You really do? Do you know how terrible the consequences of deceiving me will be?"

Her terrifying aura made it almost impossible for Su Chun to breathe.

Su Chun suppressed her fear, met the gaze of the beautiful woman in the white dress, and nodded solemnly.

"This junior dares not deceive you, senior. I have indeed learned some basics of formations. Although I dare not say I am an expert, I may be able to help you in some way."

The beautiful woman in the white dress stared intently into Su Chun's eyes, seemingly trying to determine if she was lying.

A moment later, the oppressive aura in her eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by an indescribable anticipation.

"Good, very good. There is always a way out. I have been imprisoned here for a thousand years, and finally I have found someone who understands formations."

The beautiful woman in the white dress before them was indeed the Demon King of Tianyao Ridge, whose true form was a cloud dragon named Yun Chu.

"Little girl, since you understand formations, would you be willing to do me a favor? If you can help me escape this predicament, I, Yun Chu, swear that I will reward you handsomely."

Su Chun was indeed shocked. Helping a Nascent Soul demon escape? This was simply unimaginable. If she succeeded, she would gain unimaginable benefits, but if she failed, she would die without a burial place.

Besides, can you really believe what a monster says?

For a moment, Su Chun was torn between two choices.

The three people, including Mo Chen, looked on with despair upon hearing Yun Chu's words.

They don't understand formations, so they're no longer of any use to her.

They had no doubt that death awaited them next.

"Little girl, what's your decision?"

Yun Chu looked at Su Chun with a hint of urging in her eyes.

After a thousand years of imprisonment, she was eager to regain her freedom.

Su Chun took a deep breath, her eyes hardening.

Looking into Yun Jiao's expectant eyes, and then at the three trembling figures beside her, she made a decision.

She had no choice.

“Senior, I am willing to give it a try, but my knowledge of formations is shallow, and I cannot guarantee whether I will succeed.”

Su Chun raised her head, met Yun Jiao's gaze, and said solemnly.

Chapter 111 Yuan Tian Array Scripture

After receiving Su Chun's reply, Yun Chu's beautiful face blossomed with a long-lost smile. The suffocating pressure emanating from her completely dissipated, replaced by a gentle aura.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Yun Chu said "good" three times in a row, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Little girl, don't worry. As long as you sincerely help me, I will protect your life regardless of success or failure. If we succeed, I, Yun Chu, will owe you a great favor. If you ever have any trouble in the future, I will definitely not refuse to help you if I can."

Her voice was firm and resolute, and sounded very sincere.

Su Chun smiled bitterly to herself, thinking, "I hope you can keep your promise."

While the promise from the Nascent Soul demon may not be entirely credible, at least for now, I am safe.

She glanced at the three men, Mo Chen and his companion, whose faces were ashen, and knew in her heart that their fates were sealed.

As expected, after comforting Su Chun, Yun Chu turned her gaze to Mo Chen and the other two with a cold, sharp look.

She didn't say a word more, she just waved her hand gently.

"Puff puff!"

Three soft sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

Before Mo Chen and the other two could even scream, their bodies were crushed as if by an invisible force, turning into clouds of blood mist. Along with their storage bags and magical treasures, they were instantly swept away by a powerful suction force and disappeared into Yun Chu's sleeve.

The whole process was clean and efficient, without any hesitation or fuss, as if it were just crushing three insignificant ants.

The sudden death of three Core Formation cultivators caused an uproar at the Demon Flame Sect.

Su Chun's pupils contracted. No wonder people say that those who cannot reach the Nascent Soul stage are ultimately just ants.

The three Core Formation cultivators died instantly, leaving no trace of their bodies, only three golden cores.

"Little girl, I'm giving you the golden cores of these three people. This item can greatly improve your cultivation level. If you can refine it, you might be able to reach the late Foundation Establishment stage."

Yun Chu then presented the three people's golden cores to Su Chun.

Su Chun was naturally quite convinced. If she could absorb the power of this golden core, her cultivation level would probably rise to another level. But the other party was treating her so well, was this really okay?

Of course, she didn't dare to say anything more.

"Thank you, senior. Let's talk about the formation first."

Su Chun expressed her gratitude.

Yun Chu sighed, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes—anger and helplessness.

"It's a long story. A thousand years ago, a human cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage from the Southern Continent broke into this place and set up an array that trapped me. This array was based on the entire valley, drawing on the earth's evil energy and gathering the dense fog of heaven and earth, and setting up layers of restrictions. It not only imprisoned my body and suppressed my cultivation, but also constantly eroded my demonic essence. If my true form were not an ancient, exotic cloud dragon with tenacious vitality, I would probably have turned into a handful of dust long ago."

A Nascent Soul level demon is at least an eighth-level demon beast, but if Yun Chu hadn't been trapped here, she would probably be even stronger now.

She paused, then continued, “This formation is called the Nine Profound God-Locking Formation. It consists of nine layers, each interlocked with the others, and is extremely ingenious. I have been trapped here for a thousand years, studying this formation day and night. Although I have some understanding of its principles, I am unable to comprehend its mysteries because I am a demon cultivator. Since you understand formations, perhaps you can help me find a way to escape.”

“Senior, I only have a superficial understanding of formations, especially high-level trapping formations. To break this formation, I need to understand the formation’s core, foundation, and the operating rules of each layer of restrictions.”

Su Chun said frankly.

Yun Chu nodded. She understood that breaking the formation was no easy task and did not have high expectations for Su Chun. Having someone to study it with was already an unexpected joy for her.

"Of course. The core of this formation is located in the main cave at the top of that Black Mountain, suppressed by nine Dragon-Locking Stones. The formation base is spread throughout the earth vein nodes of the entire valley. As for the operating rules of each layer of restrictions, I have a summary of my research over the past thousand years, which may be useful to you."

As she spoke, Yun Chuyu pointed her finger, and a soft green light shot out from her fingertip and entered Su Chun's brow.

Su Chun felt a cool sensation in his sea of ​​consciousness, and a flood of information about the Nine Profound God Locking Array rushed into his mind.

This includes the overall layout of the formation, the approximate effects of each layer of restrictions, the trajectory of energy flow, and Yun Chu's guesses about some key nodes and his failed attempts to break them.

This information was extremely vast and complex, and even caused ripples to appear in Su Chun's sea of ​​consciousness.

Fortunately, her spiritual consciousness had reached the Core Formation stage, which was enough to accommodate and process this information.

"These are just my superficial understandings of the Nine Profound God-Locking Formation, and there are many errors in them. You need to identify them yourself. Also, this is not enough. How are your basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills in formations?"

Yun Chu asked another question.

Su Chun pondered for a moment and said, "I have learned some basic knowledge of formations and can set up some simple formations. I also know a little about complex formations."

She deliberately concealed her knowledge of the Mulan Formation, intending to observe the situation first.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Yun Chu's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a hint of anticipation.

"A basic understanding is sufficient. I happen to have a complete array formation technique obtained from a human cultivator, called the 'Yuan Tian Array Scripture,' which may be useful to you."

After saying that, Yun Chu flicked her finger again, and an even purer golden light entered Su Chun's brow.

This time, Su Chun felt not an influx of information, but a completely new understanding.

It was as if a door to the world of array formations was slowly opening before her. The contents of the Yuan Tian Array Scripture were vast and boundless, ranging from the most basic array runes, array flags, and array plates to the selection of various array bases, the guidance of energy, the superposition of restrictions, and the analysis and deciphering of some classic array formations.

The array formation concepts contained therein have both similarities with the Mulan array formation, as well as many unique insights, from which Su Chun has benefited greatly.

Her soul power was already strong, and her understanding of formations far surpassed that of ordinary people. The contents of the Yuan Tian Formation Scripture flowed into her knowledge system like a gentle stream, mutually reinforcing and complementing her knowledge of the Mu Lan Formation.

Su Chun was immersed in the sea of ​​formations, sometimes frowning, sometimes suddenly enlightened. Before she knew it, several hours had passed.

Yun Chu watched Su Chun quietly, hoping that Su Chun could really help her.

After some time, Su Chun slowly opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

She felt that her understanding of formations had reached a new level. Although she was still far from being able to break through a trapping formation like the Nine Profound God Locking Formation, she was at least much stronger than before.

"Thank you for your gift, senior. I am deeply grateful."

Su Chun bowed deeply to express her sincere gratitude. To her, the value of this array formation inheritance even surpassed that of some Nascent Soul level magic treasures.

Yun Chu waved her hand.

"No need to be polite. This Yuan Tian Array Scripture is a hidden gem in my hands. It's a blessing that it can shine in your hands. So, do you have any clues?"

After pondering for a moment, Su Chun replied, "The Yuan Tian Array Scripture is profound and extensive. I have only just begun to understand it. The Nine Profound Locking God Array is indeed extremely ingenious, with layers of restrictions that rely on each other. It is extremely difficult to break it in one go. I think we might start with the smaller restrictions on the outer perimeter to gradually understand the operating rules of the array and find its weak points."

Yun Chu nodded in agreement, saying, "You're right. I tried the same thing before, but this formation has an extremely strong self-repairing ability. Often, if one part is broken, it will be quickly repaired by the power of other restrictions. However, with your assistance, we might be able to discover some details that I overlooked before."

"By the way, senior, after I finished absorbing the Yuan Tian Array Scripture, my understanding of the array has become much deeper. I feel that besides the restrictions of the Nine Profound God Locking Array, there seems to be a faint spatial fluctuation here. I wonder if senior knows anything about it?"

Su Chun quickly asked a question.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Yun Chu's eyes.

"Oh? You can sense spatial fluctuations? It seems your soul power is even more acute than I imagined. Indeed, there is an ancient teleportation array hidden beneath this Nine Profound God Locking Array."

"A teleportation array? I wonder where this teleportation array leads?"

Su Chun's heart stirred.

Yun Chu shook her head.

"I don't know either. This teleportation array is even older than the Nine Profound God Locking Array. It has always been here. I have tried to activate it, but I have never been able to succeed. It may be a teleportation array leading to some mysterious area."

Chapter 112 Nascent Soul Realm Experts Attack

Su Chun's curiosity was piqued.

A mysterious teleportation array hidden beneath the lair of a Nascent Soul demon—there must be some secret behind it.

"Senior, may I go and take a look at that teleportation array? That array might be related to the one that trapped you."

Su Chun found an excuse to go and see the formation.

Yun Chu thought for a moment.

"Yes, but the teleportation array is located in a cave at the bottom of the valley. It is affected by the Nine Profound God Locking Array, and ordinary people cannot get close to it. However, with me here, you can safely get there. With your talent in array formations, you can find some clues from that teleportation array."

"Then thank you very much, senior."
