Yi Yun looked coldly at Alchemist Sage Purple Gold and company. He remained silent as he counted the time.
These people had underestimated Ling Xie'er's strength and thought too highly of themselves. If not for Ling Xie'er, the array would not have lasted three months, much less three years.
Now that they had taken over the array, they thought that it was a pie in the sky. However, they soon realized that it was a meteorite that had fallen from the sky.
After Alchemist Sage Purple Gold took control of the Herb Nurturing Array, he immediately began studying it. With the Nine Transformations Rejuvenation Array and his fire seed as the array fire of the Herb Nurturing Array, it was only a matter of time before he thoroughly studied the Herb Nurturing Array.
But at that moment, he realized that his Fire of Seven Emotions could no longer absorb the Heretical God Fire Seed's energy.
Although the Heretical God Fire Seed was still trapped in the array, it had shrunk into a blob. Its defenses were flawless and there was no way to devour it.
Even so, Alchemist Sage Purple Gold remained calm. He did not panic at all. He believed that as his insights into the array became more thorough, the Heretical God Fire Seed would be meat by his mouth. There was no way it could escape. When the time came, he could refine the Heretical God Fire Seed in one fell swoop. He could even directly obtain its spiritual body!
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold was still very interested in Ling Xie'er's true body. If he only obtained her flame, the Heretical God Fire Seed's grade would drop by more than half. It would be a pity.
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold could not help but look at Yi Yun. He saw him standing in the void with a very calm expression.
"I want to see how long you can maintain your composure." Alchemist Sage Purple Gold thought disdainfully.
At that moment, the High Priest naturally noticed the changes in the Herb Nurturing Array. Such an important array was not stable to begin with. Any change at that moment would displease the High Priest. He had a nagging sense of foreboding.
"Your Excellency, there is no need to worry. The Herb Nurturing Array has been taken over by me. With my fire seed as the array core, it will make it easier for me to understand the array. Although it will take a long time to complete the array, it is not difficult to stabilize it. When the time comes, Her Highness will know the difference between me and those alchemist sages you speak of. "
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold said confidently. With the Fire of Seven Emotions as the core, it was equivalent to sending his perception deep into the Herb Nurturing Array!
The fire seed and its master were originally one. Usually, if one wanted to comprehend the array, they would do it from the outside. It was like looking at the mountain through the fog, so of course they would not be able to see it clearly. But now, with the fire seed as the eye, they could directly see the core and essence of the array. The effect was obviously different.
In fact, if not for the anomaly in the array, Alchemist Sage Purple Gold would not have had such an opportunity. Now that he had reached this step, completing the Herb Nurturing Array was only a matter of time.
"Perhaps this time, it will really be a blessing in disguise."
The High Priest muttered to himself. As the saying went, 'Break and rebuild'. In ancient times, when the alchemists were invited to comprehend the formation, they were all very careful. Who would dare to do something so out of line and cause a change in the formation?
This time, the formation was in such a mess, but it allowed the Apothecary to see more opportunities. It also gave the High Priest a glimmer of hope to complete the formation.
Boom boom boom!
Flames spewed out. At that moment, in the core space of the array, Ling Xie'er's spirit body had already returned to her Heretical God flames. She hugged her legs and curled up in a dark corner. A layer of black flames lingered around her, forming a perfect defense.
At that moment, standing in front of Ling Xie'er was a voluptuous rainbow-dressed beauty. There was also a fire centipede and a fire toad.
They surrounded Ling Xie'er but due to the black flames protecting her, they could not do a thing to her.
"Hmph! Lass, don't think that I won't be able to eat you up just because you have withdrawn your strength. I have the Nine Transformations Rejuvenation Array's support. What do you have? The strength that our fire seed can produce depends on our master. Why don't you get rid of that useless master of yours? Follow my master and be a maidservant. Serve him well. That would be a way out. "
The voluptuous woman scoffed and ignored Ling Xie'er for a moment. She turned to face the Herb Nurturing Array and injected her strength deep into it.
She still had a mission to complete. It was to use her own strength to help Alchemist Sage Purple Gold probe the array.
The voluptuous woman carefully controlled her strength as she emanated it from the array's core.
The first time she fused with the worldly array, the rainbow-dressed beauty felt as though she had instantly transformed into the Heaven and Earth. Her vision broadened and her soul seemed to undergo a sublimation. It made her feel like she had opened the door to a brand new world.
"Oh? This lass has been fusing with the array all this while. Did she experience such a feeling? "
As the voluptuous woman was pondering over the matter, she suddenly felt the suction force from the array grow stronger. She was originally controlling her strength to slowly fill the array but now, it was the complete opposite. The array was absorbing her strength.
"This …"
The voluptuous woman immediately panicked. Her face paled as she began to control her strength. But no matter how much she tried, her strength was rapidly being drained away.
She felt that the array was like a gigantic spider web and she was like a mosquito in the web. She was stuck to it.
It was not only the voluptuous woman. Even the fire centipede and fire toad were stuck to the array. They could not move at all!
"Seven Emotions, what's going on?"
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold was mentally connected to the voluptuous woman. This sudden turn of events alarmed him.
He had wanted to probe the array with the Fire of Seven Emotions but before he could do much, such a turn of events happened. However, Alchemist Sage Purple Gold knew why this happened. Before Yi Yun switched the array fire, the array was using the South Li Fire.
The Flame of Nan Li was not considered a high-grade fire seed. It was much weaker than his Flame of Seven Emotions. How could the Flame of Nan Li be used to stabilize the array, but his Flame of Seven Emotions, which had the help of the other two Mystical Fires, could not?
Could it be that the laws had changed after the array's anomaly, causing the Fire of Seven Emotions to no longer have sufficient strength?
However, Yi Yun's fire seed had clearly used its own strength to permeate the entire array. It could even retract its strength at the final moment to defend a corner …
Upon coming to this realization, Alchemist Sage Purple Gold found it unbelievable. Could it be that he had still underestimated the strength of the fire seed Yi Yun possessed?
However, how could that be possible? Alchemist Sage Purple Gold's Fire of Seven Emotions was already one of the top existences in the Sinkhole. Even the Empyrean Cleansing Flame and the Flame of Samsara, which were ranked top two, were not much stronger than the Fire of Seven Emotions.
What sort of flame was that in Yi Yun's hand?
"Master, quickly think of a solution. I can't hold out any longer with my strength."
The voluptuous woman's anxious and tender voice sounded. Alchemist Sage Purple Gold's expression changed immediately. He looked at his disciples and said, "Insert your fire seeds into the array!"
Although fire seeds were rare in the Sinkhole, they were not completely extinct. As disciples of Alchemist Sage Purple Gold, most of these youths had fire seeds. The only difference was that they were not of a high grade.
"Ah?"
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold's disciples were taken aback. They felt a little apprehensive about suddenly inserting their fire seeds into the worldly array. However, they did not doubt their master's orders. They controlled their fire seeds to enter the array.
And at the same time, Patriarch Pillheart and Ouming Yin had no choice but to get their disciples to inject their fire seeds into the array.
They could sense how terrifying the array was. It was like a bottomless pit that was crazily devouring their fire seeds' strength. Their fire seeds were on the brink of collapsing.
But how was that possible?
Previously, only Yi Yun's fire seed had been placed in the Herb Nurturing Array. Yi Yun's fire seed alone was enough to fill up the array. Furthermore, it could stabilize the array to a certain extent, preventing it from mutating prematurely.
They couldn't believe that there had been a mistake somewhere.
At that moment, there were nineteen fire seeds in the Herb Nurturing Array's core!
However, other than the Fire of Seven Emotions, the other eighteen fire seeds added together barely equaled the Fire of Seven Emotions' strength.
That was completely insufficient!
"Fellow Daoists, the array has encountered a tiny mishap. I need all of you to contribute your fire seeds to fill up the array!"
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold said to the other alchemists. These alchemists were not his disciples, so he could not order them.
However, no one responded to his words. Their fire seeds were their lifeblood. As alchemists, they could sense the unforeseen situation in the Herb Nurturing Array. It was likely a situation that Alchemist Sage Purple Gold could not control. Under such circumstances, how could they rashly insert their fire seeds into the array?
Alchemist Sage Purple Gold frowned when he saw more than ten thousand people remain motionless. Even if only a few percent of these people possessed fire seeds, as long as they contributed their fire seeds, the array would definitely be filled to the brim. When that happened, the array would naturally stabilize.
"Fellow Daoists, do you not trust me? Although the energy fluctuations in this array are intense, everything is under my control. This array was originally only controlled by the South Li Fire. Now, I'm using the Fire of Seven Emotions and more than ten fire seeds to control the array. I have a general grasp of the array. By injecting your fire seeds in, it is also an opportunity. It will allow you to gain insight into the mysteries of the array's runic patterns. It will allow your alchemy cultivation level to rapidly increase … "
Just as Alchemist Sage Purple Gold said that —
Boom!
A loud sound boomed as though the world was collapsing. In the interior of the array, the ground cracked open as flames surged into the sky. It was as though a volcano had suddenly erupted.
Such a terrifying energy fluctuation came without any warning. Alchemist Sage Purple Gold was the first to bear the brunt of it. His body suddenly jolted as the Nine Transformations Rejuvenation Array beneath him immediately began to tremble violently.
What was happening!?
The alchemists present were alarmed. They looked at Alchemist Sage Purple Gold and saw his extremely ugly expression. Clearly, the unforeseen situation had exceeded his expectations.
He took a deep breath and said, "Fellow Daoists, although a tiny problem has occurred, the array has not lost control. Quickly inject your fire seeds into the array. Only then will everything stabilize!"
As Alchemist Sage Purple Gold spoke, there was another loud boom!
