Tian Xing City, House of Ice, inside an elegant courtyard.
As soon as Nie Tian walked in, he was greeted by the refreshing fragrance of flowers.
He squinted his eyes and saw a white-haired elder sitting in the gazebo.
At this moment, the old man was looking at Nie Tian with a smile on his face. His eyes were calm, and his face was kind, but he gave off an oppressive feeling that he wasn't angry.
Nie Tian's heart shuddered. He felt that this old man was like a lion, exuding the aura of an expert.
Though this elder had a head full of white hair, his skin was smooth and smooth like a twenty year old.
The only exception was his eyes, which were sunken in and filled with wrinkles. It was as if they were marks left behind by the passing of time.
What surprised Nie Tian the most was that although the elder's aura was hidden, it was still powerful.
This elder wasn't affected by the Heaven Punisher Array at all!
"How is this possible?" Nie Tian's first reaction was disbelief as his eyes quivered.
The Heaven Punisher Array was one of the Ancient Nine Arrays and could even suppress the Star Stone.
What was so special about this elder that he wasn't affected by the Heaven Punisher Array at all?
"My friend Nie Tian, you're here." Just then, the white-haired elder spoke. His tone was calm like a grandpa next door.
Nie Tian calmed down, smiled faintly, and bowed slightly towards the old man. "Greetings, Senior Bing."
This elder was obviously Laozu from the Bing Clan.
"Nie Tian, my friend, you are too kind." Laozu from the Bing Clan chuckled and gestured for Nie Tian to sit.
Nie Tian didn't stand on ceremony. He walked into the gazebo and sat across from Laozu from the Bing Clan. He asked directly, "Elder, why did you call me here?"
"Nie Tian, is this your first time in Tian Xing City?" Laozu from the Bing Clan chuckled and didn't answer Nie Tian's question.
"Yes." Nie Tian nodded.
"Nie Tian, how much do you know about Tian Xing City?" Laozu asked.
"Not much. Just the basics." Nie Tian smiled faintly and said, "The Heaven Executioner City is where the headquarters of the Myriad Realms Guild is located. It's said that it's an ancient city that has existed since ancient times. The entire city is enveloped by a grand spell formation, making it impregnable."
"It seems like Nie Tian knows a lot." The patriarch of the Bing Clan laughed as a strange light flashed in his eyes. He said, "Nie Tian, my young friend, you must have sensed that the grand spell formation that covers the entire Heaven Xing City has a strong suppressive force on cultivators."
Nie Tian nodded and asked, "Senior, you don't seem to be affected by the spell formation. Why?"
He already had this question and wanted to ask. Since Laozu from the Bing Clan brought it up, he naturally had to ask.
Laozu from the Bing Clan seemed to have guessed that Nie Tian would ask this question. He smiled brightly and said, "Because I am the Heaven's Executioner."
"Heaven's Executioner?" Nie Tian was stunned and his eyes trembled. He didn't know what that meant.
"Heaven's Executioner, the array door!" At the same time, the Ghost Emperor's voice was heard. He screamed in shock.
Nie Tian was once again stunned and confused.
He knew what the array door meant, but he didn't know what the Heaven's Executioner meant.
An array usually had an array door and an array eye.
The array door was the entrance to the array and also the channel for the array to absorb energy from the outside world. The array eye was where the array's energy gathered and was also the weakest point of the array.
Any formation would require energy to operate.
As time passed, the array's energy would weaken.
The purpose of the formation gate was to absorb energy and maintain the formation.
"Nie Tian, you should know what the array door is." Laozu from the Bing Clan smiled at Nie Tian's confused expression and said, "The Heaven's Executioner is the array door of the Heaven's Executioner Array."
"Hmm?" Nie Tian's eyes narrowed after hearing Laozu's words.
It was his first time hearing about an array door that used humans.
However, this wasn't anything strange. The Ghost Emperor had refined his own body into a great array.
"The Heaven's Executioner Array is magical indeed. With a cultivator as the array door, not only can it operate the array, but it can also strengthen the array's defense." The Ghost Emperor's voice could be heard.
Nie Tian frowned as he slowly understood the intricacies of the Heaven's Executioner Array.
The array door in a large array was also a relatively weak place. However, with a warrior as the array door, this weakness was avoided. Moreover, the strength of the warrior could be increased, which meant that the strength of the entire array could also be increased!
"Nie Tian, now you understand why this old man's strength isn't suppressed by the Heaven's Executioner Array, right?" Laozu from the Bing Clan said with a faint smile.
Nie Tian nodded, but he remained silent.
Laozu from the Bing Clan was a Heaven's Executioner, the array door of the Heaven's Executioner Array. He was part of the array and naturally wouldn't be suppressed by it.
This way, the entire Heaven's Executioner Array was almost perfect.
All the cultivators that entered the array would have their strength suppressed. However, the Heaven's Executioner's strength wouldn't be suppressed at all. In fact, it would even increase.
Therefore, the Heaven's Executioner was almost invincible in the Heaven's Executioner Array!
Even a powerhouse like Eternal Heartless would have his strength suppressed to around the Heavenly Emperor Realm after entering the Heaven's Executioner Array. How could he fight against the Heaven's Executioner?
The more Nie Tian thought about it, the more he felt that the Heaven's Executioner Array was terrifying.
With the Heaven's Executioner holding down the fort, Heaven's Executioner Array was simply an impenetrable fortress.
"Senior, if you have anything to say, please say it directly." After a moment, Nie Tian calmed down and said solemnly.
He naturally understood that there must be a reason why the Bing Clan's Laozu told him so much.
"Little Friend Nie Tian, although the Heaven's Executioner's strength is terrifying and his status is noble, as a Heaven's Executioner, there are also many things we can't do." The Bing Clan's Laozu suddenly looked at Nie Tian and sighed. "The Heaven's Executioner is the array door of the Heaven's Executioner Array. Therefore, he can't take half a step out of the Heaven's Executioner Array."
Nie Tian's gaze narrowed slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly.
If a cultivator was trapped in a city for his entire life, it would undoubtedly be very tragic.
Especially with the Bing Clan's Laozu's strength, and his lifespan was as long as a million years. If he stayed in a city all the time, he would probably be driven crazy.
"Not being able to leave the Heaven's Executioner Array is actually nothing much." Following that, the Bing Clan's Laozu continued, "As a Heaven's Executioner, the most painful thing is actually having to endure the pain of the Heaven's Executioner Array at all times."
"Pain of the Heaven's Executioner Array?" Nie Tian's gaze narrowed slightly, and his face involuntarily changed. He immediately understood something.
The Bing Clan's Laozu wanted to see him because he had something to ask of him!
And this matter must be related to the pain of the Heaven's Executioner Array.
