The Supreme White Works Slowly Ascending to Immortality Volume 1 Chapter 117: The Main Array's Eye

  Xiao Yao's eyes lit up, this was undoubtedly an exciting piece of news. Just as she was about to ask when the leopard would be able to break through the formation, she felt the chair beneath her tremble and the entire small wine workshop began to shake slightly.

  All the demons in the wine workshop looked surprised and stood up to walk onto the street. In a short while, all the demons realized that it was not only the small wine workshop that was shaking, but the entire street and even the entire Nameless Island were shaking.

  Fortunately, the vibration did not last long and stopped after a moment. No one knew what had happened. At this time, Xiao Yao heard the leopard's voice again: "Xiao Yao, you'd better come over, this main array is a bit troublesome."

  "Alright, where are you? I'll be right there." Xiao Yao immediately thought of the commotion from earlier and it was highly likely related to the main array. Her expression became serious: if something could make a leopard feel troubled, then it must be real trouble.

  After parting with Bai Tu, she headed straight for the west gate of Wuming City. Along the way, she saw many demon cultivators who had been shaken out onto the streets, and everyone was discussing the strange movement that had just occurred. She tried to avoid drawing attention to herself as she exited the west gate, and after leaving the city, she followed the route given by Baozi and accelerated her flight using the Thunder Wings.

  Over the years, the process of breaking through the leopard's formation has not been smooth. Some array eyes are located in harsh environments that are difficult to approach, and it is necessary to go through a lot of twists and turns, which wastes a lot of time. It took 40,000 years to find and crack all the array eyes. This is thanks to the leopard's exceptional skills, plus it's just a primordial spirit, half of which is still connected to itself. As long as it's not catastrophic damage, there's no big deal; otherwise, this matter would have dragged on for even longer.

  Since the direction given by Baozi was quite far, it took Xiaoyao more than half a month to fly to where he said. Before she even landed, she saw that right below her was a huge pit with a diameter of over 100 miles, and inside the pit was dark and bottomless.

  Xiao Yao's expression turned serious as he walked to the edge of the pit where the leopard and the small hawk were, furrowing his brow and asking: "What is this? I've been here before, but I've never seen a hole so big."

  The leopard gave her a displeased glance. Although it was still wearing its strange skin, it was no longer the original pig-eared and snake-tailed one. Over the past 40,000 years, it had undergone tens of thousands of times of jade thunder tempering, changing its physical body into all sorts of bizarre forms, and its spirit had long since become numb. This time, its skin sac had two fish gills on its cheeks, which opened and closed as it spoke, "Just over a dozen days ago, I sent you a message saying that I found the main array eye, and then this large pit suddenly appeared when the ground collapsed."

  "So this pit is where the main formation eye is located?"

  "It can be said," the leopard nodded, its head still sporting three red antennae that swayed up and down with its movements, "the main array eye has already collapsed into the lower part, and this pit is a prohibition generated to protect the main array eye."

  Xiao Yao looked puzzled: "But it's just a big pit, how can we protect the formation eye?"

  The leopard was too lazy to waste his breath explaining to her, and simply said: "You try it yourself and you'll know."

  Xiao Yao flew hesitantly to the edge of the pit, then dove down towards the bottom. However, when she descended only about 500 meters, a circle of dark red forbidden runes suddenly appeared in front of her, followed by an invisible barrier that blocked her from continuing downwards, no matter how hard she tried to force her way through with her spiritual energy.

  After struggling for half a day, she finally returned in vain, somewhat unwilling to ask the leopard: "Can't even you solve this puzzle?"

  The leopard flipped its eyelids and spat out a word: "Difficult! I'm not in my prime now, and the formation of the 'Practicing Demon Vessel' is from the True Immortal Realm's handwriting. Even if we know the weakness of the seal, we don't have enough powerful strength to break it open. Just now you also tried, with our current cultivation, even if we exhaust all our immortal energy, I'm afraid we can't budge it in the slightest."

  Xiao Yao stared at the dark entrance, silent for a moment, then said: "You only said it's difficult, but didn't say it's impossible. I suppose there should be a way to break the seal. Tell me, what conditions are needed."

  "Leopard rubbed his ears and said, 'I won't hide it from you, there is indeed a way, but I'm not sure you can do it.' He gave her a meaningful glance."

  Xiao Yao nodded and made a gesture of washing her ears and listening respectfully, using her eyes to indicate that it should continue speaking.

  "The main array eye of this 'Practicing Demon Vessel' only appeared after I solved all the secondary array eyes. We can consider ourselves lucky, as this is a defective main array eye. The defectiveness of the main array eye means that this 'Practicing Demon Vessel' is actually a damaged object. As long as we find a powerful force equivalent to immortal energy, we can break it."

  Indeed, this method is really too difficult. Xiao Yao couldn't help but frown and say: "The immortal energy far surpasses the spiritual energy and yuan energy, is there still a stronger power than the immortal energy in this world? Even if there is, I'm afraid it's not a power that you or I can obtain."

  The leopard child said with a bad tone: "Really ignorant! There are indeed stronger powers than the immortal energy in this world, and they are quite common, but it's true that they are not easy to obtain."

  "What kind of power is that?"

  The leopard raised its eyes and spat out two words: "Mindful."

  "What's on your mind?" Xiao Yao repeated after him, but looked somewhat puzzled.

  "This thing that everyone has is actually a more powerful force than the aura of immortals, don't you think it's strange?" The leopard saw her confusion and said: "Actually, I'm not very clear about it either, but since ancient times, it has been this way. Desires, murderous intentions, obsessions, good thoughts - no matter what kind of thought, as long as it is strong enough to a certain degree, it will condense into a terrible power that can even change the course of heaven sometimes. But one or two people's thoughts, no matter how strong, are not enough to become a force, and collecting hundreds and thousands of strong thoughts is really too difficult. So you and I should just focus on cultivating here, and when we ascend to immortality, my strength will be able to break through this prohibition."

  Xiao Yao seemed to have not heard the latter half of the sentence, and from talking about how powerful thoughts could become a terrible force, she lowered her head and fell into deep thought. After a long time, as if remembering something, she asked: "Is this similar to the method of using evil energy to break through formations in the Kunlun Realm?"

  The leopard thought for a moment and seemed to recall something, saying: "That's about right. The evil spirit is actually formed by the accumulation of many negative thoughts."

  Suddenly, Xiao Yao's eyebrows and eyes curved like a clearing of clouds revealing blue sky, exuding thick laughter. "If, I mean if the desires of all the demon cultivators on this unnamed island were gathered together, do you think it could break through this seal?"

  The leopard cub looked at her with a strange gaze, but still replied seriously: "Although there are only hundreds of demon cultivators on this island, if we set up a gathering array to collect and add the power of the fairy energy impact, it should be possible to break the seal. But do you have a way to make all the demon cultivators on the island obediently stand in the array and emit strong desires for you to collect and use?"

  Xiao Yao smiled mysteriously and said: "If you don't try, how will you know? You just need to set the range of ten thousand miles as a gathering array, and leave the rest to me."

  The author has something to say: Tomorrow, someone will arrange the deceased at home to be invited to the temple, and prepare to stay in the temple overnight. They will go early tomorrow morning and return the day after tomorrow, so there will be no updates on Friday and Saturday. It's just as well that the story is stuck, and I can use the peacefulness of the temple to sort out my thoughts.
