Chapter 2576 - Breaking the Array to Retrieve Treasures

"XT E-Book Download**"

The Xuan period cultivators, carrying their doubts, departed one after another using their飞行法宝. The area for dozens of miles around instantly fell silent.

Lin Xuan's face broke into a smug smile as he waved his sleeves and summoned another palm-sized array disk. He raised his right hand and several spells shot towards it.

In the next moment, howling sounds filled the air. What had been a clear mountain peak was suddenly enveloped in an unknown mist, making everything hazy. At first glance, it seemed clear, but upon closer inspection, it appeared blurry.

Needless to say, Lin Xuan had activated the nearby defensive array. This prohibition still carried some illusionary effects, which were essential for him.

Because he would be visiting several Elders' dens, these senior spirit cultivation experts, although within their sects, had long been accustomed to setting up prohibitions around their dens after years of experience.

Even if it wasn't intentional, the prohibitions from Xuan period cultivators wouldn't be easy to breach. Some could find the array's center and break through naturally, while others would have to use more forceful methods to wear down and destroy them. This inevitably caused significant commotion. Even with Lin Xuan setting this place as a forbidden area, it was still possible for someone else to notice.

However, with the prohibitions' protection and the illusionary effects covering the entire Spirit Controlling Peak, everything would be secure.

Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of lightning and flew towards the peak of the Spirit Controlling Peak.

Generally, in areas with veins of spiritual energy, higher peaks usually had denser spiritual energy. This was a rule in the cultivation world, so it applied to the Spirit Controlling Peak as well.

Thus, the dens of Xuan period Elders were all built on the upper parts of the mountains.

Soon, Lin Xuan found one.

This den was quite impressive upon first glance.

Lin Xuan released his divine sense and immediately detected faint mana fluctuations. The prohibition wasn't fully activated yet.

He had encountered this type of array before; it usually remained closed until triggered by external forces to conserve mana better.

Back in the mortal world, Lin Xuan had dabbled in arrays but had gradually neglected them after ascending.

It wasn’t that he didn't want to learn more. Time and energy were finite, and there was only so much one could explore in a hundred arts of cultivation.

The saying went: "Mastering many arts is inferior to specializing in one." Therefore, Lin Xuan had discarded many杂学.

If not for this, he wouldn’t have advanced from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Xuan period within a thousand years.

Although Lin Xuan was far superior to many cultivators in array techniques, the current prohibition was unfamiliar to him.

He didn't have time to ponder it. He first needed to test it. If he could find any weaknesses, that would be fine; otherwise, he would use force to break through.

Lin Xuan raised his right hand and flicked his fingers, summoning a silver sword of light. It struck the den like lightning.

A deep blue protective barrier spread out, thick and dense. When the sword struck it, ripples formed on its surface.

"Water element array."

Lin Xuan's voice echoed in his ears as he recognized the nature of this prohibition. Knowing just that was enough for now.

He waved his sleeves again, and a treasure emerged from his sleeve like a fish swimming out. With a gentle shake, the treasure unfolded into an extremely ancient scroll.

A red light followed.

"Quickly!"

Lin Xuan raised his right hand and shot several spells at it as fast as lightning. A fiery smoke cloud spread from its surface, dazzling with light. Nine peaks of varying heights appeared before him.

The smallest was over a hundred feet tall, radiating an astonishing aura that rose to the heavens.

Immediately after, cacophony filled the air as countless firebirds flew down from those nine peaks. Their wings expanded in the wind, doubling their size tenfold.

Golden Birds!

Of course, these weren't true spirits, but they contained a trace of Golden Bird soul power.

Lin Xuan summoned the Mountain Golden Bird Scroll because fire and water were complementary elements.

Rumbling sounds echoed as hundreds of golden birds opened their mouths to shoot out dense fireballs. While each might not be powerful individually, together they were formidable.

The surface of the deep blue light barrier rippled.

Soon, a breaking sound reached his ears.

This array's defensive capabilities were commendable but insufficient against continuous attacks from a divine treasure.

Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction as he retracted the treasure. He released his divine sense again and found no issues. Nevertheless, better safe than sorry, Lin Xuan activated the Nine Heaven Spirit Shield before proceeding forward.

A stone door blocked his path, but with a wave of his hand, a green light flashed, and the stone door shattered into pieces.

Lin Xuan entered the den without hesitation.

...

The process was unremarkable. An hour later, Lin Xuan emerged from the den, his face beaming with joy.

His prediction had been correct; as an Elder in the Xuan period of a major sect, this person's wealth was indeed substantial.

Since he wasn't traveling light, most materials and treasures were stored within the sect's dens. The Ethereal Immortal Palace was the first power in the cultivation world, so it should be safe.

Perhaps it had been before, but this time, fate was against him as Lin Xuan took advantage of the situation.

Thus, this Elder lost all his accumulated wealth over thousands of years to Lin Xuan's plundering.

...

Lin Xuan then flew towards another den belonging to a Xuan period cultivator.

This time, he had better luck. Whether due to carelessness or confidence in their sect's safety, there was no prohibition; only a stone door stood in his way, easily broken by Lin Xuan. He obtained numerous treasures effortlessly.

Next, Lin Xuan flew towards another den.

...

In this manner, Lin Xuan continued to plunder, and the efficiency far exceeded his expectations. The only obstacle was prohibitions, but he found that one-third of the cultivators didn't even set up arrays.

He had initially thought it would take two or three days to retrieve all the treasures, but in less than half a day, he achieved his goal.

With plenty of time left, Lin Xuan selected dens belonging to后期Xuan period cultivators and made a few visits.
