Chapter 18: The Great Array of Mount Sumeru's Vajra

  The passage on the right side of the mountain cave was not long and did not wind, Gu Chen walked into the right mountain cave and saw that Huo Xue was facing away from him, lying on the ground with his head raised, looking at something in front of him as if there was something important attracting it.

  Gu Chen's gaze was immediately drawn to the scene in front of the Blood Crown Fox, his face changed greatly, and he instantly revealed an extremely surprised expression.

  Lingcao...

  A large patch of spiritual grass...

  Gu Chen could even feel a strong aura wandering in front of him, attracting himself.

  Three steps in two, Gu Chen quickly walked forward and stopped behind the Blood Crown Fox. As he approached, he finally saw clearly the cave of the Medicine Garden in front of him.

  Iceberg Plant, Royal Blood Grass, Dew Lotus, Sky Blue Flower, Seven Leaf Lotus, Golden Fungus, Spiritual Heart Grass, Heavenly Harvest Flower, Blood Crow...

  Gu Chen's gaze swept over the spiritual grasses, his heart suddenly boiling with excitement. There were so many spiritual grasses, from the low-grade Spiritual Grass Ice Dream Grass and Imperial Blood Grass to the high-grade Spiritual Grass Blood Crow and Heavenly Millet Flower... everything was available.

  Suddenly...

  Gu Chen's eyes suddenly opened wide again, and his gaze brightened as he stared at the few stalks of spiritual grass. His breathing immediately became rapid.

  Ginseng, Lotus flower...... And also, Primordial fruit...

  Jingzhi, Panlai flower, Yuantai fruit... Three main medicines for refining the top-grade spiritual elixir, Washing Dust Elixir, and they all exist in this cave's medicine garden.

  Moreover, Gu Chen watched the three kinds of spiritual grass and fruit, Ju Jingzhi, Pan Niehua, and Yuan Taiguo, each with a history of over a thousand years.

  The thousand-year-old spiritual grass and fruit... just reached the age requirement for practicing the Xuan Dust Pill.

  In an instant, except for the Jingzhi, Panlai flower and Yuantai fruit, all other spiritual herbs disappeared from Guchen's eyes.

  He had long wanted to refine the Dust Washing Pill a day earlier, so that his father Gu Cangqiong could transform his body and surpass Gu Cangyue's cultivation within two years. Now, the three high-grade spiritual herbs for refining the Dust Washing Pill, namely the Gathering Spirit Bamboo, the Nirvana Flower, and the Primordial Fruit, were right in front of him. How could he not be excited?

  Moreover, the years of these three spiritual grasses and fruits have all exceeded a thousand years according to Gu Chen's judgment as a Dan medicine master, which just meets the requirements for refining Xiucheng Dan.

  Almost at the same time as judging the age of the three spiritual herbs and fruits, Gu Chen's excitement in his heart reached its peak. The three spiritual herbs and fruits in front of him seemed to be beckoning to him, emitting endless temptation. Gu Chen involuntarily rushed towards the spiritual medicine garden in front of him.

  Squeak...

  A shrill fox cry suddenly rang out, and Gu Chen instantly woke up, feeling a tightness in his pants, looked down, and saw the Blood Crown Fox biting his pant leg and pulling it backwards.

  Gu Chen's back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he secretly thought it was a close call.

  He had been yearning to refine the Dust Washing Pill to help his father change his bones, and in his heart, he had a deep longing for the three spiritual herbs and fruits: Gathering Spirit Bamboo, Nirvana Flower, and Primordial Fruit. As soon as he saw these three spiritual herbs and fruits, his heart demon was born, numbing all of Gu Chen's other senses, leaving only an endless desire to obtain the three spiritual herbs and fruits.

  Let him forget everything, regardless of the cost to get three kinds of spiritual grass and fruit, so that he forgot his own danger. Just now, the Blood Crown Fox let out a mournful cry, it must have also seen countless spiritual grass and fruit and rushed forward without regard for its body, resulting in a great loss.

  In his past life, Gu Chen had countless experiences of going on adventures and getting treasures, but he had never forgotten everything like today. As a 500-year-old old monster, it was really not supposed to happen today.

  From this aspect, it can be seen that Gu Cangqiong is more important to Gu Chen than himself, because for his own affairs, Gu Chen has never appeared in such a situation.

  "Thanks......" Gu Chen looked at Xue Huo and said, if it wasn't for him just now, Gu Chen might have really pounced over, the consequences of which are unknown.

  "Hsss... hsss..." The Blood Crown Fox shook its head, as if saying no need to thank me.

  Gu Chen nodded, his gaze shifting back to the spiritual medicine garden in front of him, preparing to say something, his eyes fixed on the three spiritual herbs and fruits: Jingzhi, Panjie, and Yuantaoguo.

  Right before our eyes is a massive spiritual medicine garden, where basically all sorts of spiritual medicines are available in abundance. The preciousness of this place far surpasses the total value of all the items on the stone shelves in the outer halls.

  For Gu Chen, who needs a large amount of spiritual medicine and spiritual grass, the spiritual medicine garden in front of him is simply a great treasure trove.

  However, the treasure is right in front of you, and it seems that there are no obstacles ahead, a bright future, but in reality, hidden dangers are blocking the way forward, and no path can be found.

  There were so many spiritual medicines in front of him, but Gu Chen only vaguely felt that there was a strong spiritual energy ahead, yet he couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of the spiritual energy. Apparently, something had sealed up all the spiritual energy of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, preventing it from leaking out.

  Otherwise, Gu Chen entered the cave hall, and even the spiritual medicine garden with a large number of mature spiritual grasses inside the cave hall was unknown.

  Having calmed down, Gu Chen naturally wouldn't be trapped by the heart demon again. He rashly and directly moved forward to pick herbs. Looking at the ground, Gu Chen picked up a stone the size of his palm and threw it towards the spiritual grass in front of him.

  Hmph...

  The stone had just flown into the range of the Spiritual Medicine Garden when a burst of magical light suddenly appeared around the garden, and the stone struck it as if it had hit a steel plate and was bounced back.

  Gu Chen's eyes narrowed tightly as he exclaimed in surprise: "The Susumu Vajra Great Formation?"

  Mount Meru Vajra Formation is a Buddhist array method. The Buddhist kung fu, fa jue and array methods are mainly based on masculinity. This Mount Meru Vajra Great Array is indeed an extremely masculine defensive array method.

  Gǔ chén xiū liàn dà lì jīn gāng quán, duì yú fó mén gōng fǎ yǒu yī dìng de liǎo jiě, duì yú zhè zuò xū mí jīn gāng dà zhèn, zì rán fēi cháng qīng chǔ.

  This Su Mei Vajra Great Array is different from the outer Yin-Yang Confusion Heaven Great Array. It's a defensive array, and it's an extremely formidable defensive formation. The spiritual energy in the Spiritual Medicine Garden is astonishing, but not even a hint of spiritual energy can be felt inside the cave. This shows that the Su Mei Vajra Great Array has severed the connection between the Spiritual Medicine Garden and the cave. The powerful defensive light screen hasn't allowed even a single thread of spiritual energy to escape from the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

  To break through the Golden Lotus Formation, there is only one way: force a breakthrough.

  Even a Golden Elixir cultivator in the Sea of Consciousness realm would need to attack non-stop for half an hour to forcefully break through the Mustard Seed Diamond Array.

  Ji Yuan period cultivator, breaking the formation requires one hour. The lower the cultivation base, the longer it takes to break the formation. Ying Jing period breaking the formation requires two hours, Zhu Tai period breaking the formation requires four hours.

  Even a cultivator of the Divine Sea Realm breaking through an array would take so long, let alone a cultivator of the Pre-Heavenly Realm. Without the aid of a magical treasure, relying solely on a powerful artifact to launch a strong attack, even a 9th layer Pre-Heavenly Realm cultivator would need at least seven or eight days of continuous attacks to forcefully break through the array.

  The Susano'o has a self-repairing effect, which means that if the attack is paused in the middle, the Susano'o will automatically repair itself, and breaking it again requires starting over.

  How can the innate energy of a congenital practitioner sustain 7 or 8 days of continuous attacks? Therefore, theoretically speaking, it is almost impossible for a congenital practitioner to single-handedly break the Mustard Seed Golden Array.

  It's even more impossible for Gu Chen, a post-heavenly boundary cultivator. Not only is it impossible, but there's also no hope at all.

  However, Gu Chen's expression was not disheartened, he smiled.

  Yes, just a faint smile, but it shows that he is not entirely helpless against the Suzumi Kongo Array.

  "There's a maze outside the cave, a defensive array inside the cave, but not even a killing array. Heaven, you really are doing me justice..." Gu Chen let out a soft sigh, but the smile on his face grew thicker.
