"You've worked hard," Bai Qian smiled at Lu Ye, "Go back and rest first."
"Old Bai, Brother Zhao and I …"
Bai Qian raised his hand to stop him, "This Old Master already knows about your plan, so there's no need to rush. Our Sect has already completely sealed off this place, so the news won't spread. Go back and rest for a day. Let Zhao Li handle the rest. You can act together tomorrow. "
Lu Ye pondered for a moment, "Then I'll listen to Old Bai."
Bai Qian pushed his Spirit Qi and wrapped Lu Ye in it before flying into the sky and disappearing. The reason why he was in such a hurry to take Lu Ye away wasn't because Heaven Expanse Sect had any ulterior motives.
Lu Ye had broken through all thirty-three floors of the Hundred Array Pagoda, triggering a resonance with each floor. Heaven Expanse Sect had many Array Cultivators, so many pairs of eyes were staring at Lu Ye, wanting to discuss the Dao of Arrays with him.
If they didn't take Lu Ye away quickly, they wouldn't be able to escape.
Bai Qian understood the morals of his Sect's Array Cultivators better than anyone else.
Sure enough, seeing Bai Qian take Lu Ye away, many Array Cultivators who wanted to talk sighed. Some of the bolder ones actually chased after Bai Qian, and there was no lack of Cloud River Realm cultivators among them …
"Zhao Li, come with me. The rest of you can disperse," Yu Xiao ordered.
"Yes!" Somewhere in the crowd, Zhao Li responded.
Soon, Yu Xiao also left with Zhao Li, obviously to arrange some matters. After a long time, the clamor in the mountain valley slowly subsided.
However, stimulated by Lu Ye's challenge of the Hundred Array Pagoda, many Array Cultivators rushed into the Hundred Array Pagoda to hone themselves. As for how much they could gain, it was hard to say.
After Lu Ye returned to Bai Qian's residence, he stuffed himself with a meal, took a bath, and slept comfortably. When he woke up, it was already the next day. All the accumulated fatigue had been swept away, and his body felt light and refreshed.
There was a message left in his Battlefield Imprint. After checking it, he found that it was from Zhao Li. Heaven Expanse Sect was ready, and even the Union Sect was ready. They were just waiting for Lu Ye to go all out.
Lu Ye sent a message back and asked Zhao Li to make preparations.
He also sent a message to Yi Yi and Giant Armor, asking them to meet up with him.
While waiting, Lu Ye checked his Spirit Apertures.
After breaking through to the Ninth Order Spirit Stream Realm in the first layer of the Hundred Formation Pagoda, he had opened two hundred and eighteen Spirit Apertures!
He had stayed in the Hundred Formation Pagoda for about 17 days, but he had opened a total of 39 chakras. On average, he could open one chakra per level, so he opened two chakras per day.
Ever since Lu Ye started cultivating, he had never experienced such a quick awakening of the apertures. If the Hundred Formation Pagoda was in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, he would probably be able to advance to the Cloud River Realm in less than two or three months.
However, this was clearly unrealistic. The generous environment inside the Hundred Formation Pagoda was his reward for passing the test. The others who challenged the Hundred Formation Pagoda did not receive such good treatment.
He couldn't help but look forward to the second part of the Hundred Formation Pagoda. Unfortunately, he couldn't enter it for the time being.
Before that, he had to work hard to improve his Array Dao. Once he could enter, his cultivation would be able to improve rapidly.
The benefits he gained from the Hundred Formation Pagoda this time were too great. Although he had comprehended and absorbed the benefits of every level, he had limited time at that time. His comprehension and absorption was just a blur and was far from being able to fully comprehend it.
Just a blur had increased his Array Dao's standard by several times. If he could fully comprehend it, who knew how much he would be able to improve. This required time and accumulation.
He was only twenty-two apertures away from the two hundred and forty required to convert a Heaven Grade cultivation technique. If he cultivated normally, he should be able to do it in one and a half months. However, there were many things he had to do next. He probably didn't have that much time to cultivate.
He took out the set of pitch-black array flags to investigate.
This set of array flags contained many more restrictions than the one he had created. Moreover, the materials used were clearly of better quality. Lu Ye didn't have much contact with heavenly treasures, so he couldn't recognize the materials used to create these array flags. However, since it was a reward from the Hundred Formation Pagoda, it naturally wouldn't be bad.
In the entire Nine Provinces, these array flags were probably the best.
Although array flags were only a supplementary method for setting up and breaking arrays, the better the quality of the array flags, the higher the efficiency of breaking arrays. The arrays set up would undoubtedly be more stable and powerful.
With this set of array flags in hand, Lu Ye was undoubtedly like a tiger that had grown wings.
After a short while, Lu Ye stood up and walked out the door. Giant Armor was waiting outside. Hu Po was squatting on top of Giant Armor's head. As for Yiyi, she was hiding inside Hu Po's body.
After half a month, Giant Armor hadn't changed much. However, Hu Po had clearly grown, and his aura had become much more condensed.
Lu Ye brought them to bid farewell to Bai Qian.
The old man said earnestly, "Little friend Lu, I'll leave the Spirit Stream Realm of the Heaven Expanse Sect in your hands. Don't be too radical."
"Old Bai, don't worry. I'll take back whatever the Heaven Expanse Sect lost."
"Go."
Lu Ye bowed and retreated.
When they were outside, Giant Armor summoned his flying spirit tool. Lu Ye stood on it. Following Giant Armor's movements, the spirit tool turned into a streak of light and soared into the sky.
After a short while, Lu Ye heard Zhao Li's impassioned voice from afar in front of the Divination Hall's plaza. It was obvious that he was mobilizing people before the battle.
Along with his shouts, deafening cries of "kill" echoed one after another.
In front of the Divination Hall, the killing intent of hundreds of Spirit Stream Realm cultivators soared into the sky.
Two months ago, the Heaven Expanse Sect's encampment had been forcefully occupied by the Myriad Devil Ridge. Many of the Spirit Stream Realm cultivators had been forced to retreat to their main sect in the Nine States. The entire Heaven Expanse Sect had been suppressing a bellyful of anger.
What made the Heaven Expanse Sect disciples even more sullen was that after the encampment had been occupied, the Heaven Expanse Sect had completely sealed it off, making it impossible for them to return to the Spirit Stream Battlefield to take revenge.
They had waited for two whole months, and no one knew what the sect's upper echelons were thinking.
The Myriad Devil Ridge had already retreated. Even if they couldn't take revenge now, they should quickly rebuild their encampment. Otherwise, where would the Spirit Stream Realm disciples go to cultivate in the future? They couldn't all rely on the encampments of other sects. What would that look like?
During this time, many disciples had continuously submitted petitions to go to the Spirit Stream Battlefield, but they had all been suppressed by Yu Xiao and the Heaven Expanse Sect's Elder Council.
It could be said that after two months of accumulation, the Heaven Expanse Sect's anger had reached its limit. They were only a little bit away from exploding.
That was until yesterday, when many cultivators saw Lu Ye unharmed at the Hundred Formation Pagoda. Some rumors had gradually leaked out.
And today, Zhao Li had gathered all the Spirit Stream Realm disciples here.
Everyone knew that the time for revenge had come!
The Heaven Expanse Sect had been lying low for two months, not because they were afraid, but because they were waiting for a crucial method.
Their emotions were raging.
They couldn't wait to start a massacre.
The giant armor flew down with Lu Ye on its back. Several hundred pairs of eyes looked over.
Zhao Li came forward and cupped his fists. "Brother Yi Ye, everything is ready."
Lu Ye stepped forward and swept his gaze across the crowd. He saw faces filled with fighting spirit, as well as Yu Xiao and a few Sky Expanse Sect elders who were watching from afar. He nodded his head slightly.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Li turned around and shouted, "Let's go!"
Silently, several hundred cultivators rushed to the Heaven's Secret Hall. Using the Heaven's Secret Pillars, they entered their encampment at the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
Like a flood dragon entering the sea, the Spirit Stream Battlefield was turned upside down.
The first to enter were body cultivators, followed by soldier cultivators and ghost cultivators, followed by magic cultivators and medical cultivators.
Although the Myriad Devil Ridge had retreated a long time ago, some things couldn't be left unguarded. If the Myriad Devil Ridge's people were lying in ambush, the body cultivators might be able to hold them off.
In just a few dozen breaths, several hundred cultivators had all entered the encampment. The ghost cultivators who had scattered to scout the surroundings reported that they didn't see any traces of the enemy.
This was normal. It had been two months since the encampment had been breached. No matter how arrogant the Myriad Devil Ridge was, they couldn't keep occupying someone else's encampment. That wouldn't do them any good.
After a short while, a large spirit ship rose into the air in front of the Heaven's Secret Hall. The Heaven Expanse Sect's cultivators boarded the ship. Under Zhao Li's command, the ship quickly flew in a certain direction.
On the deck of the ship, Lu Ye and Zhao Li stood side by side. The latter ended the transmission and said, "Mount Azure Billow has also set off. The leader is Mount Azure Billow's guardian, Brother Song Yin. According to Brother Yi Ye's plan, we'll attack the Cool Breeze Sect first."
"How many people did they send?"
"A hundred people stayed behind to guard the encampment. The rest all came."
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. "Fellow Daoist Song is quite bold."
Zhao Li said, "Brother Song has always been steady. To be able to make such a decision, he must have received some instructions from the higher-ups. Perhaps it has something to do with the encampment of our sect. Our sect is adjacent to the encampment. Without the lips, the teeth will be cold. Mount Azure Billow has been nervous for a long time after our encampment was attacked."
Two months ago, Lu Ye had just arrived at the Heaven Expanse Sect's encampment when he was poisoned by a spy from the Myriad Devil Ridge. Soon after, the Heaven Expanse Sect's encampment was jointly attacked and occupied by several sects from the Myriad Devil Ridge.
He was poisoned in the Heaven Expanse Sect's encampment, and the Heaven Expanse Sect couldn't get away with it. However, the Heaven Expanse Sect's encampment was attacked because of his arrival. In this matter, he had implicated the Heaven Expanse Sect, but he also suffered a great loss because of it. In the end, if it weren't for the Soul Cleansing Water, Giant Armor and Zhao Li might have died even with Shui Yuan's help.
It was meaningless to argue about who implicated who in this matter. The Myriad Devil Ridge was the one behind the scenes.
Just as he had said to Bai Qian before, he would help the Heaven Expanse Sect get back whatever they lost.
If they wanted to rebuild their encampment, they would need a large amount of sect merit points. Where would they get them from? Naturally, it would be to attack and occupy the enemy's encampment and plunder their blessings.
His purpose in coming to the Heaven Expanse Sect to study Array Dao was to break the defensive formation. Now, he already had the ability to do so.
From the map, the Heaven Expanse Sect's position wasn't very good. It was surrounded by three Myriad Devil Ridge forces in a triangle formation. These three forces were the Cool Breeze Sect, the Scarlet Blood Valley, and the Thunder Light Sect. Previously, the cultivators from these three forces were the main force in attacking the Heaven Expanse Sect's encampment.
The reason why they attacked the Cool Breeze Sect first was that this Myriad Devil Ridge force was not only adjacent to the Heaven Expanse Sect, but also to Mount Azure Billow.
The Heaven Expanse Sect had nothing to lose now. Since their encampment was already in such a state, it couldn't be that bad. However, Mount Azure Billow still had an encampment. Only by dealing with the Cool Breeze Sect first would Mount Azure Billow would they have no worries in the future.
