第五卷 天云十二州 第一千一百三十七章 天罡罗汉阵

"Isn't that the case? You didn't manage to open it, right?"

"Not exactly."

Ouyang Qinxin sighed slightly. "Although Biyun Mountain is a minor force, we shouldn’t have had trouble opening a box. But what happened after opening it left us even more surprised."

"Oh, tell me about it," Lin Xuan couldn't help but show some interest as he heard this.

"The inside was a shield, black and unremarkable..." Ouyang Ying began to narrate the secret that brought disaster to Biyun Mountain. "Initially, my two senior brothers and I thought it was an ancient treasure, but after infusing it with spiritual energy, there was no reaction at all; we couldn’t control it."

"Oh?" Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead, showing a hint of contemplation on his face. He had some suspicions, but he needed to see for himself before confirming.

However, Qinxin's words didn't clear the doubts in his heart. Through soul searching, they gained clues and occupied Red Cloud Valley. On the surface, it became Wei Family’s main base, but actually, the bald monks from Vajra Sect hadn’t left; instead, more advanced cultivators had arrived.

They seemed to have some secret, though the old man was only a Condensation Core stage cultivator, so he couldn't possibly know the core secrets.

Interesting!

Lin Xuan's lips curled with amusement. With his deep-seated wisdom, he wouldn't waste time thinking here. He would just extract their souls and spirits; the truth would come to light naturally.

"Senior Uncle!"

At this moment, a sweet voice entered his ears. Lin Xuan turned around. "Wuyun'er, why let them go?"

"Don’t worry, I have my reasons," he said with a mocking smile as he rolled up his sleeves. A torrent of sword energy surged out. He had used the same method to deal with Condensation Core cultivators earlier; now, he wanted to see if he could kill an Incarnation Stage cultivator just by relying on spiritual energy alone.

Lin Xuan's motivation wasn't just arrogance; he wanted to assess his own strength comprehensively. After all, no matter how extraordinary his cultivation was, he couldn’t summon the power of heaven and earth. He needed a clear understanding of himself for better confrontation with Incarnation Stage cultivators in the future.

Despite fewer threats now, Lin Xuan still didn't dare be careless. It was this cautious nature that allowed him to survive the tumultuous world of cultivation.

The sword energy clashed against the storm, and screams filled his ears. However, both Ouyang Qinxin and another bald monk raised their own treasures.

They fought while retreating, each losing an arm but managed to escape into the valley.

"Senior Uncle, why let them go?" Wuyun'er asked with some puzzlement.

"Don’t worry, I have my reasons," Lin Xuan said. He then led the two girls back towards Red Cloud Valley.

But they couldn't enter; having alerted the enemy, the sect’s protective array was activated.

A golden light curtain appeared, with solemn Buddha statues inside.

"Oh, is it the Heavenly Warrant Arhat Formation?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, showing some surprise. This name was unfamiliar to Wuyun'er, but Ouyang Qinxin's face turned pale: "What? The Heavenly Warrant Arhat Formation? How could that be possible, Brother Lin? Are you mistaken?"

"In the field of formations, it’s vast and deep, but I still have some research. I’m confident I won’t mistake," he said.

"But how is that possible? The Heavenly Warrant Arhat Formation is a famous formation from the Vajra Sect. It's said to require rare materials and be extremely difficult to construct. Its power can kill major cultivators, worth millions of crystals. Wei Family is just an average-sized clan; they couldn’t afford such luxury. Even if they have some connection with the Vajra Sect, those bald monks wouldn’t support them," Ouyang Qinxin muttered.

"Normally, it’s impossible, but if there are treasures that interest them here, maybe they would do this," Lin Xuan said thoughtfully.

The power was indeed formidable. It claimed to be able to kill late-stage cultivators. Although he wasn't sure about the exaggeration in the rumors, he didn’t believe Qin could truly stop him.

Ouyang Qinxin was stunned and followed closely behind; she didn’t want Lin Xuan to risk himself alone.

Wuyun'er had more faith in her senior uncle and followed without hesitation.

Lin Xuan plunged into the light curtain, feeling like jumping into water. His movements were somewhat hindered, and his spiritual energy became more sluggish.

He frowned as this seemed like an interference restriction; he wasn’t sure of its exact mechanism, but ordinary cultivators would have their cultivation power significantly reduced once inside, only able to use about 70% of their full strength.

Lin Xuan glanced at the solemn Buddha statues. He believed that this formation could indeed kill late-stage cultivators.

But it was different for him.

He inhaled deeply; his eyes turned a faint silver.

A phoenix cry echoed in his ears as he activated the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance Formation, reinforcing his physical body and meridians. Not only did he practice both Taoist and Buddhist cultivation, but he also mastered top-tier妖修secrets. Although his knowledge was shallow, the power of the Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance Formation could remove the restrictions on his spiritual energy.

This method had no effect on him.

Facing a charging Buddha, a short sword emerged from his sleeve.

It was clearly Green Fire!

"Quickly."

Lin Xuan pointed at it with one finger. The Green Fire Sword flashed, leaving a long tail of flame that cut through the air like a meteor, slashing fiercely at the Buddha.

A flash of light, and the Buddha split in two. After advancing to Incarnation Stage later, his法宝's power had increased significantly compared to before.

If Lin Xuan from several months ago faced this Buddha, he might still defeat it but wouldn’t be as easy or dare to rush into the Heavenly Warrant Arhat Formation so recklessly.

This formation was different from personal array disks and flags; it used crystals as energy sources, continuously attacking without end.

One Buddha was decapitated, but more charged in from all directions.

Lin Xuan faced them fearlessly. He waved his sleeves, and a black gold dragon shield flew out. However, he didn’t use this treasure for himself but turned into a light curtain to protect Qinxin and Wuyun'er behind him.

For Lin Xuan himself, he held two crescent-shaped treasures in both hands.

Of course, they were the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring.

Speaking of this treasure, Lin Xuan had access to high-grade materials like Heavenly Crystal. Its rarity was no less than South Star Separating Fire. It was because of Qin that he fell out with the monk named Wuxian.

If he could add this treasure to the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring and re-cultivate it, water and fire would merge, significantly enhancing his命魂treasure’s quality.

Unfortunately, time was short; Moer’s condensation was the top priority. Any conflicts had to be put aside for now so that she could have a body sooner.

But even with this, as a dual-element treasure, the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring's power was formidable. Lin Xuan combined Qins in front of him, and spiritual light flickered, alternating between cold and heat. Ice Dragons and Fire Dragons appeared in the air, attacking the surrounding Buddhas.

Qinxin and Wuyun'er watched from behind but couldn’t help much; Lin Xuan displayed astonishing power, single-handedly facing a famous Vajra Sect formation.

Wuyun'er's cultivation was still shallow, so she didn't see the difficulty.

But Ouyang Qinxin was stunned. Each Buddha’s strength equaled that of an Incarnation Stage cultivator. More terrifyingly, they were driven by spiritual energy from crystals; in other words, they could never be killed. Even if one Buddha was destroyed, as long as the formation wasn’t broken, more would continue to appear. Moreover, their power increased when combined, making it incredibly formidable.

In such a fearsome killing formation, Lin Xuan moved with ease, not fully unleashing his full power.

The saying goes that seeing is believing; although Wuyun'er had heard about Lin Xuan's great powers before, she still didn’t expect him to be at this level.

No wonder he could kill Wuxian in the void.

"Master, what’s wrong?"

"Oh."

Hearing her disciple calling out, Qinxin snapped back to reality. She deeply looked at Lin Xuan ahead and saw a hint of admiration in her eyes. A blush appeared on her face; beauty loves heroes.

Men didn’t have to be handsome but had to be talented.

Of course, Ouyang’s blushing might be due to other reasons since she hadn't spoken about it, and no one knew the exact reason.

She extended her hand and pulled Wuyun'er into her遁光. The opportunity was precious; they needed to quickly escape from the Heavenly Warrant Arhat Formation.
