In midair, Ling Xian, like a God descending, forcefully broke a hole in the array.
Then, like a dam bursting, after a few breaths, a third of the array crumbled.
To know that this array was formed by nature and was infinitely close to perfection. Even array masters cannot break it.
Yet Ling Xian only used one day to break through a third of it. This was unbelievable!
"Am I seeing things? How could he break the Taichu Cult's array?" The man in gold was shocked to the extreme.
The elder in white and the Taoist Master were the same.
This array was the Taichu Cult's strongest asset. Back then, five Taoist Masters allied to destroy the Taichu Cult.
The result was that they couldn't even break the array. It wasn't hard to imagine how powerful this array was.
Therefore, to the people of the Taichu Cult, this array was their guardian.
Yet before their eyes, their guardian was broken by a cultivator of the ninth level. The impact of this was far too strong. Other than being shocked, the three of them shuddered.
Because the strongest defense of the Taichu Cult was as fragile as paper before Ling Xian. If he was the Taichu Cult's enemy, then the Taichu Cult would be doomed.
"What a profound skill. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would not believe that someone could break the array of the Taichu Cult."
The man in gold bitterly smiled. Logically speaking, he should be happy. But after seeing how Ling Xian only used one day to destroy a third of the array, he could not be happy.
The elder in white and the Taoist Master were the same.
If Ling Xian couldn't break the array, they would be disappointed. If he could, they wouldn't be too happy either.
This conflicted mentality was because they saw the array as their guardian. Nobody would be happy to see their guardian being broken.
Though Ling Xian only broke a third of the array, even an idiot could tell that it was only a matter of time.
Therefore, the three of them felt guilty and conflicted.
"It's about time."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. He didn't know how conflicted the man in gold and the others were feeling. He only knew that after two more days, he would be able to completely break the array.
Thus, his hands moved and his attacks became more aggressive.
Just then, the array suddenly shone and blocked the endless array carvings.
At the same time, a soft sigh arose from underground. It was exasperated but full of killer's intent.
"The younger generation will surpass the older."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's expression froze and he quickly retreated.
Just as he retreated, the peerless sword light whistled and shattered the void.
If Ling Xian was one step too late, even if his soul did not perish, his physical body would have been split in half.
This sudden turn of events changed the expression of the man in gold and the others. They quickly stood in front of Ling Xian and formed a triangle to protect him.
Ling Xian was the Taichu Sect's only hope, so they naturally had to do their best to ensure his safety.
"What keen senses."
The old voice sounded surprised and regretful.
Now that he failed to kill Ling Xian, it would be difficult to kill him again.
After all, the golden-robed man and the others were not to be trifled with.
"Who are you? Why did you sneak attack Little Friend Ling? "The golden-robed man's expression was gloomy.
"Do you still need to guess my identity?" A chuckle rang out.
"No need to guess."
"You attacked because you were afraid that I would destroy this formation. There's only one person hiding in the Taichu Sect's earth vein who is afraid that I would destroy this formation."
"That is the person who set up this array. Or in other words, the person who caused the Taichu Sect to be in chaos."
Ling Xian's gaze was deep. He had predicted that the array grandmaster would show himself after seeing that he had the ability to break the array.
After all, this person was relying on the array to live forever. How could he just watch Ling Xian break the array?
"Smart."
The old voice rose. Billions of rays of heavenly light shot through the cloud and formed into a silhouette.
This person had white hair and looked old. Like a candle in the wind, he could be extinguished at any moment.
He stared at Ling Xian and said, "A young man who is not even 200 years old has the ability to break my array. I cannot help but admire you."
"I originally thought you would only show yourself after I break two-thirds of the array. I cannot believe you couldn't hold back after breaking one-third." Ling Xian's eyes were deep. He knew that this person was at least a Supreme-Being and was not someone he could defeat.
"If I don't show myself, you will cut off my life."
The elder's expression was cold. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe that a young man who was not even 200 years old could break the array he set up himself.
"You reap what you sow. You set up this array to absorb the lifespan of the cultivators of the Taichu Sect. Am I right?"
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. The ancestor of the Taichu Sect thought this person had good intentions. Little did he know that this was a trap from the beginning.
"That's right. Back then, I thought the Taichu Sect had the potential to live for tens of thousands of years and could help me complete my mission."
"That's why I set up this array."
"Reality has proven that my choice was correct. The Taichu Sect has grown into a giant and I have lived until today."
The elder grinned, finding it hard to hide his arrogance.
This made the man in gold and them furious.
To them, the elder was a great person who was second only to the ancestor. Without him, the Taichu Sect wouldn't be where it is today.
Yet now, they found out that this was the elder's trap and that everyone from the Taichu Sect was a pawn for him to manipulate. Why wouldn't they be furious?
"What a perfect trap. They were obviously used but they are still grateful to you."
"However, there is one thing I don't understand. You could have gone unnoticed, so why did you give yourself away?"
"Don't tell me you started absorbing lifespan 10 years ago."
Ling Xian frowned. Even if the elder was close to the Taoist path, there was no way he could have lived for 20,000 years. In other words, this person began absorbing the lifespan of the Taichu Sect many years ago.
If he could have quietly absorbed it, why did he make such a big fuss? Wasn't he seeking his own death?
"The moment I set up this array, I began to absorb the lifespan of the Taichu Sect cultivators. It was just that the amount was miniscule, so nobody noticed."
"The reason why I began to absorb so much lifespan 10 years ago was because my treasure of immortality can't last much longer. I had to absorb at least 1,000 years of lifespan before it breaks."
The elder glared at Ling Xian coldly, "In another two years, I would have absorbed 1,000 years of lifespan. Sadly, you ruined it."
"I told you, you reap what you sow. You can't blame anyone," Ling Xian said softly. He finally understood why the elder gave himself away.
Under the situation where the treasure of immortality was about to break, why would he bother hiding himself?
"I haven't lost yet."
The elder snickered, "In terms of capabilities, I am no opponent of the three of them. But this is my territory, so you have to follow my rules."
"Your territory?" The man in gold was furious. If it weren't for the fact that it was just a silhouette and killing it was pointless, he would've attacked a long time ago.
"Isn't that the case?"
The elder mocked, "From the beginning to the end, the Taichu Sect has always been my pawn. You are merely my nourishment."
"Dammit!" The man in gold was enraged. His Qi swallowed everything and shook the world.
"Stop being so cocky. You can't kill me, but the young man behind you might." The elder teased.
