Chapter 1054 - 351: Development

Chaotic Star Sea.

The waves roared, crashing against an unassuming island, producing a rumbling sound.

In the center of the island, within an underground secret chamber.

This place was originally meant for cultivating the Thousand-Year Purple Infant Fruit, which U Di refined after cultivating into a pseudo-core.

It then became U Di’s cultivation chamber.

In the secret chamber, U Di’s eyes were wide open, filled with bloodshot veins. His Spiritual Sense was pushed to the limit, and sweat dripped down his face from his forehead.

In front of him, a Little Heaven-Deceiving Array infused with demonic patterns was slowly taking shape.

U Di was not like Lin Zheyu.

Although his Array Dao talent was decent, in terms of array cultivation, he was merely at an average level, not particularly outstanding.

U Di also did not possess Lin Zheyu’s Spiritual Celestial Eye, capable of seeing through appearances and grasping the essence directly.

When setting up the array, certain highly refined operations were far less manageable for him compared to Lin Zheyu.

Suddenly.

The array emitted slight energy ripples.

Lin Zheyu knitted his brows, and with a gentle wave of his right hand, the purple-black glow merged into the array.

The array, which had shown signs of disorder, stabilized once again.

In Lin Zheyu’s Sea of Consciousness, the golden Celestial Eye closely monitored U Di’s operations. Any discordance was instantly detected.

"This Spiritual Celestial Eye I awakened really suits practicing Array Dao," Lin Zheyu thought with a light smile.

Lin Zheyu was well aware of his abilities.

His comprehension, among cultivators, could at most be considered above average, not qualifying as genius.

Not to mention those monstrously talented prodigies.

To have cultivated to his current level of power, was largely due to the help of Source Power.

Otherwise.

With Lin Zheyu’s talent and comprehension, even if he managed to reach Martial Arts Innate, he would be already old by then.

Breaking through to Divine Treasure or even shackles without a miraculous opportunity was almost impossible.

Nevertheless.

Lack of comprehension could be compensated by innate divine techniques.

Reaching his current level of cultivation, he felt that, apart from the mysterious golden energy within him, the most helpful was the golden Celestial Eye condensed in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

The appearance of the golden Spiritual Celestial Eye granted Lin Zheyu the ability to see through appearances and discern the essence of everything.

This compensated for his lack of an extraordinary talent.

"They’re here..."

"Brought three people, mediocre."

Suddenly, Lin Zheyu looked up at the secret chamber ceiling, his Perception piercing through the secret chamber’s barrier, seeing Kong Yu Jing and others rushing from outside.

His figure flickered slightly, disappearing in an instant.

Lin Zheyu hadn’t left for long.

U Di’s complexion suddenly changed dramatically, and slight energy fluctuations emerged from the array in front of him, growing increasingly large, eventually exploding.

Spiritual Energy swept up Demonic Energy, turning into terrifying energy ripples, rampaging within the secret chamber.

Bang!

U Di was sent flying backward, crashing against the wall of the secret chamber, looking rather miserable.

"Hiss..."

"Just at the critical moment, the master suddenly left."

U Di rubbed his chest, wincing in pain.

With Lin Zheyu’s assistance by his side, his courage and ambition had grown significantly.

He even planned to attempt setting up a Little Heaven-Deceiving Array, fusing Immortal Tao Array with demonic patterns, directly in the secret chamber.

"Could it be that Mr. Kong has arrived?"

U Di’s mind stirred, noticing activity outside the Island Protection Array.

The entire Island Protection Array was under his control, and with a thought, U Di could detect the movements outside the array.

Sure enough.

Not long after, he discovered Mr. Kong Yu Jing and his three demonic cultivators, enshrouded in Demonic Energy, rushing toward them.

"Mr. Kong has really bad timing."

"After dealing with this, the master will probably leave again, sigh..."

U Di murmured disappointedly.

Just a moment ago, Mr. Xiao was waiting for Mr. Kong Yu Jing with nothing to do and pointed out the fusion of array symbols and demonic patterns to him.

Once he finishes dealing with Mr. Kong’s matters, Mr. Xiao will likely leave.

The next time they meet, who knows when that will be.

Despite his reluctance and regret, U Di had no choice but to accept this fate.

He tidied his disheveled clothes, left the secret chamber, and went to the grand hall above.

Upon sensing Kong Yu Jing and the others had arrived outside the island.

U Di’s mind moved, instantly opening the Island Protection Array.

Then, he stood silently behind Lin Zheyu, awaiting the arrival of Kong Yu Jing and the others.

"I greet my master!"

Kong Yu Jing entered the grand hall and respectfully saluted.

She was different from U Di.

U Di only swore allegiance to Lin Zheyu with a Heavenly Dao oath, while Kong Yu Jing offered her Soul Blood to recognize a master.

"Hmm, rise."

Lin Zheyu said calmly.

His gaze fell on the three demonic cultivators behind Kong Yu Jing.

The three demonic cultivators looked extremely troubled, their pupils black as ink, showing no whites.

Their eyes uncontrollably exuded cruel and savage killing intent; their bodies surged with Demonic Energy, filled with demonic intent.

U Di glanced at them, perceiving their aura, and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

All three of them had the strength of Foundation Establishment Peak, but due to practicing Demon Skills, their aura surpassed ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak.

Almost comparable to the Early Stage of Golden Elixir.

Their frenetic and savage aura made even U Di frown.

"Would you three be willing to offer your Soul Blood and acknowledge me as your master?"

"You have seen that I helped alleviate Kong Yu Jing’s crisis."

"As long as you acknowledge me as your master, I can help resolve the issue of demonic will erosion you’re facing."
