The Sun was setting, shedding down faint red light that illuminated the peak of the mountain.
Ling Xian was speechless. He didn't think Chun Qiu Zi's first sentence would be to exclaim over Ling Xian's skills with arrays and crafts.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this. He was somewhat happy and somewhat helpless.
"Not being able to accept you as my apprentice is one of my biggest regrets."
Chun Qiu Zi sighed, "I regret it."
"Regret what?" Ling Xian was a little startled.
"I regret coming here and meeting you."
Chun Qiu Zi sighed and said, "If it were someone else, I'm sure they would be the ones suffering right now, not me."
Hearing this, Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Senior, let's get down to business. You are focusing on the wrong thing."
"That's true. But I do feel regretful."
Chun Qiu Zi sighed deeply. Then, his expression turned serious and he asked in a low voice, "What you are saying, is it true?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian's expression turned serious as well, "I am not lying."
"So the person behind this is planning something big." Chun Qiu Zi sighed deeply. His brows were full of worry.
Ling Xian was the same.
Though he didn't know the person's ultimate goal, everything he's done has proven that the person is trying to harm the two universes.
Therefore, why wouldn't he be worried?
"I won't hide it from you. I know about the Seven Peaks of Suppressing Evil. But I don't know about the other two."
Chun Qiu Zi's words made Ling Xian's entire body shake.
He originally thought it was unbelievable that there were two Seven Peaks of Suppressing Evil. But Chun Qiu Zi's words meant that there are other seals in this world.
Therefore, why wouldn't he be shocked?
He asked in a low voice, "Senior, if I may ask, based on what you know, how many Seven Peaks of Suppressing Evil are there?"
"I know there are three. Including the two you mentioned, there are five." Chun Qiu Zi's expression was serious, "All five of these seals are Seven Peaks of Suppressing Evil. Other than this array, there is another seal that I think is the same as the one that seals the demons."
"In other words, there are six seals." Ling Xian's heart dropped. He didn't think there would be six.
"Not bad."
Chun Qiu Zi's face was full of worry as he said, "Although I don't know what kind of evil demon it is suppressing, I don't think it's anything good. If it breaks out of the seal, it will definitely cause a bloody storm."
"There is no doubt about that."
Ling Xian softly sighed, "After what happened with the Soaring Gate, I am certain that the culprit is trying to release the demon from the Seven Peaks Seal. I wonder what he is planning."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed as he thought of the Gate of Ascension.
The truth had already shown that the Gate of Ascension was fake. It was a trap set up by the mastermind tens of thousands of years ago. Just how big of a conspiracy was it that people would spend tens of thousands of years to set it up?
In other words, was the mastermind really waiting for tens of thousands of years just to crack the Seven Peaks Evil Suppression?
Everyone hoped to pay a small price for a large return. At the very least, it had to be balanced.
As for the mastermind's contribution and return, they were obviously not equal.
"If it was me, I would never do this. I have paid far too much and gained far too little."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself, "If it was me, I wouldn't have waited for tens of thousands of years just to crack the Seven Peaks Evil Suppression."
"In other words, the real goal of the mastermind is to destroy all six seals at once!"
Ling Xian's eyes exploded with light. He had been suspicious since the beginning. Why would the mastermind spend so much effort to break one seal?
Now that the elder said there were four more seals, he finally understood. The mastermind's goal was to break all the seals!
Thus, he asked in a hurry, "Senior, please tell me the location of the other seals!"
"Hmm?" Chun Qiu Zi frowned, not understanding why Ling Xian, who had been so calm and collected, would have such a big reaction.
"At first, I thought the Soaring Gate's plot was to break the Seven Peaks Evil Suppression. Because I only know of two and I have already fixed the other one. "
"The contribution and return are obviously not equal. Nobody would be stupid enough to do that. But after hearing that there are four more seals, I finally understood."
"The mastermind's goal is to destroy all the seals at once. It's not just one seal."
The more Ling Xian spoke, the more anxious he became, "The spiritual energy of those who died must have been divided into six parts by the mysterious array and sent to six different seals. I have only fixed one."
At this, Chun Qiu Zi's expression changed.
Just like Ling Xian had said, nobody would be stupid enough to pay such a huge price for such a small gain. In other words, there was a 99% chance that his guess was correct.
Therefore, why wouldn't Chun Qiu Zi's expression change?
"Hurry, follow me!"
Chun Qiu Zi was in a rush as he shifted his gaze towards everyone, "You all, guard the Soaring Gate. Remember, do not let anyone enter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his large sleeve and opened up a spatial passage.
This shocked Ling Xian.
He could also shatter space, but if he wanted to open up a space passage, he couldn't do it. Not only does this require a very high understanding of space, but it also requires a very high level of cultivation.
"You are of the seventh level after all!"
Ling Xian exclaimed. In a flash, he entered the tunnel and walked shoulder to shoulder with Chun Qiu Zi.
Tunnels of space were similar to portals. They both used space to travel long distances in a short amount of time. Though the effect was a little weaker than the portals, it wasn't by much.
Therefore, after merely half an hour, Ling Xian and Chun Qiu Zi arrived at a sealed area.
This place was a giant desert. Within a thousand miles, there was no one. As far as the eye could see, there was only yellow sand.
"Open!"
Chun Qiu Zi formed a hand seal and the entire desert began to shake. Then, seven mountain peaks rose from the ground. Every single one of them was surrounded by black energy and was full of demonic energy.
It was the Seven Peaks of Evil Suppression. But at this moment, this legendary array was on the verge of collapse. The continuously rising black Qi was the best proof.
This made Chun Qiu Zi's expression change, "You are right. 50 years ago, I saw this array once. Back then, it was only 50 percent damaged."
"Yet now, it is 90 percent damaged and is on the verge of collapse. This is not something that can be done with time. An external force must have intervened!"
Chun Qiu Zi's expression was dark as he cursed, "Dammit, the person behind the scenes is really trying to break all the seals!"
"They sure are scheming something big."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes and his expression turned determined, "Sadly, they ran into me."
Then, he no longer hesitated and called out a sky full of runes and arrays.
The Seven Peaks of Evil Suppression before him was on the verge of collapse. It was worse than the one inside the Soaring Gate. If he doesn't fix it soon, he won't make it in time.
Therefore, Ling Xian used his full strength and displayed his extraordinary skills!
