Ye Kong received the jade slip and left Ancestor Linyi's lotus house. When he arrived at the middle valley, Mu Yun had already received the order to lead Ye Kong to inspect the array formation.
This array formation was indeed as Ancestor Linyi had said. It was extremely complicated, and the number of array formations was astonishing. However, what made Ye Kong feel strange was that although there were many array formations, there weren't many damaged ones. Ancestor Linyi had clearly exaggerated.
"Elder Mu, who was the one who inspected the formation in this valley in the past?" Ye Kong opened his mouth and asked.
Mu Yun said, "Ancestor Linyi inspected them himself because he once said that these array formations are the foundation of our Linyi Valley! If outsiders were to find out the method of setting them up, they might destroy our valley's array formations and put our valley in danger. "
Ye Kong said, "Then I'm the first elder to obtain the method of setting up the array formations? Ancestor Linyi really trusts me. "
Mu Yun said, "I hope that you can guide me in the future."
"Of course." Ye Kong laughed heartily. Actually, he knew that the more Ancestor Linyi treated him well, the more he was scheming.
Ye Kong asked again, "That old woman and the pleasure boat from the outer valley weren't real people, right?"
Mu Yun nodded and said, "Senior's cultivation is indeed profound. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to see through it and would think that the old woman was a real person. In fact, everyone on the boat was real. Only that old woman was an illusion created by the power of the Wretched Lands."
Ye Kong nodded and said, "The Wretched Lands' method of controlling people's mental strength is truly unimaginable. The illusion of the old woman is actually the same as a real person. If they were to fight with people, as long as they create a certain number of experts, who would be able to defeat them?"
Mu Yun said, "Senior is right. This Red Lotus Wretched Lands is the head of the Eight Great Wretched Lands. If it wasn't for ancestor's array formations, how could we live here peacefully?"
"Ancestor's strength is indeed extraordinary."
Although Ye Kong said this, he was still a little puzzled. It was possible that this array formation was set up by Ancestor Linyi, but as for the core array formation … he would have to go to the core later to take a look.
After inspecting the array formations in the Middle Valley, Ye Kong left all the records in the jade slip. Among them, three array formations had been repaired. Then, Ye Kong returned to the inner valley and Lei Yong brought him around. Lei Yong was very surprised that the primogenitor gave this task to Ye Kong. He thought that the primogenitor was training Ye Kong to be his successor.
However, in Ye Kong's opinion, the primogenitor's actions might not have any good intentions.
Lei Yong said, "The inner valley was originally the most dangerous place in the Red Lotus Evil Lands. If it wasn't for the primogenitor setting up an array to restrain the Red Lotus Pill Flower, and then building the inner valley on top of the Pill Flower, the Red Lotus Pill Flower would have been destroyed. Otherwise, this inner valley isn't a place where humans can survive! "
Ye Kong nodded and asked, "I heard from the Primogenitor that the Pill Flower can also bear Pill Fruit. Where can I see this Pill Fruit?"
Lei Yong said, "Dan Guo is at the bottom of all the arrays and restrictions. It is said that if you pass through all the arrays, you will see Dan Guo's body. If there is a Dan Formation Fruit, you will be able to see it. However, with my cultivation and level, I have never seen the Pill Flower's body with my own eyes, much less the Pill Fruit. "
Ye Kong said, "Then let's start inspecting."
As the two of them continued inspecting, the deeper they went, the more mysterious Ye Kong found the array formation to be. Gradually, he began to suspect whether this array formation was set up by the Ma-Yi Ancestor. Moreover, this array formation's mysteriousness and runes indicated that it wasn't a product of the Pure Land World. Yet, the Ma-Yi Ancestor claimed to be the original descendant.
'This array formation was either set up by someone else or the Ma-Yi Ancestor was guided by an expert,' Ye Kong thought.
After going down for a while, Lei Yong stopped and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, you can go down by yourself. I'm really not strong enough. If you're not strong enough, then you can check wherever you find. Don't force yourself."
Ye Kong said, "I'll go down and take a look."
When they reached the bottom of the array formation, Ye Kong was even more shocked.
It turned out that the Red Lotus Flower wasn't as big as he had imagined. The Ma-Yi Valley was built on top of the flower, and there were many arrays set up to expand the space! After leaving these arrays, one would realize that the Ma-Yi Valley's Inner Valley was getting smaller and smaller, while the surrounding red lotus water was getting bigger and bigger.
After leaving the last array formation, Ye Kong felt as though he was standing in a faintly discernible world. Below him was a billion miles of calm water, and there was a patch of fiery red lotus in the water. Above him was a Ma-Yi Valley that looked like a pavilion in the sky. However, he didn't know where the legendary Red Lotus Flower was.
"Where is the Red Lotus Flower?"
Ye Kong's gaze swept across the area in front of him, and he quickly noticed that the water below and the pavilion in the sky above were connected by nine giant pillars of light. Only after walking over did he realize that these nine dazzling pillars weren't made of any material. Instead, they were made of billions of runes. Only after getting closer did he realize that all of those runes were glowing. From a distance, they seemed to form a dazzling radiance.
Ye Kong took out the jade slip, and after scanning it with his mind, he said, "This is the last and most important array formation to check. These nine giant pillars are the foundation of the Ma-Yi Valley's Inner Valley!"
However, just as he was about to check, the red lotus under his feet began to part, and a dignified man flew out from the water, saying, "Ye Kong, you're finally here. This Old Man has been waiting for you for a long time."
Ye Kong took a look, and asked curiously, "Ma-Yi Ancestor, why are you here?"
Ma-Yi Ancestor said, "I've been waiting here, preparing to kill you!"
Ye Kong was startled at first, and then he laughed loudly, "Your illusion is really not bad. It's very realistic, but you're too stupid. If the real Ma-Yi Ancestor came here personally, he wouldn't have appeared from the water."
After the illusion was seen through, it immediately dissipated, and the illusion turned into light with a pop.
In front of him was the lowest level of the Red Lotus Evil Lands, and all kinds of dangers came one after another. Just as the illusion disappeared, the illusion of Cold Wind appeared. He sneered, "Little Brother, I've been looking for you for so many years. Do you dare to fight me?"
Ye Kong said, "You're still an illusion. Break for me!"
However, this time, not only did the illusion not break, but even more appeared. Cold Wind laughed loudly, "Die, Little Brother!"
