Chapter 424: The Three Great Sacred Lands

Chapter 424: Chapter 425: The Three Great Sacred Lands

Su Mo said, “Tell the Second Elder that from now on, whenever he comes across any advanced Cultivation Techniques or Arrays, he is to buy them all, regardless of the cost.”

Qingyang City wasn’t lacking in ordinary Cultivation Techniques.

After all, they had raided numerous Sects recently and obtained countless Cultivation Techniques, more than enough to support the Cultivation of the Xiao Alliance’s disciples.

However, they had very few top-tier ones.

Aside from the few top-tier Cultivation Techniques seized from the Haoyue Sect and the Purple Cloud Palace, they had none.

They didn’t have a single Martial Level or Saint Level technique in all of Qingyang City.

Only the Sacred Lands possessed such techniques.

‘Raid the Sacred Lands?’

Su Mo muttered to himself.

Huang Xu asked, “Elder Su, what did you just say? My old ears didn’t quite catch that.”

“It’s nothing!”

Su Mo said with a wave of his hand.

“Oh!”

Huang Xu replied obediently.

If he had known about Su Mo’s insane idea, he probably would have been scared to death on the spot.

Huang Xu said, “Elder Su, the few Array Books I just gave you are for Tier Nine Arrays, but they are all incomplete, so their power is limited.”

Even for a Sacred Land, a complete Tier Nine Array is a Supreme Treasure Level existence.

In times of crisis, it can protect a Sect from annihilation.

It’s something that can’t be bought, no matter the amount of Spirit Stones.

Therefore, the arrays the Second Elder managed to acquire were all incomplete Tier Nine Arrays, along with several difficult-to-understand Ancient Arrays.

“Let me see!”

Su Mo opened an Array Book and began to study it carefully.

Huang Xu waited patiently by his side.

But after just a few minutes, Su Mo closed the Array Book in his hands.

Seeing this, Huang Xu couldn’t help but feel a jolt of surprise.

‘Did Su Mo fail to comprehend it?’

Still, that would be understandable.

Although Su Mo’s skill with arrays was profound—capable of upgrading a Tier Seven Array to Tier Nine and a Tier Eight Array to Tier Ten Saint Level—that was only when he was working with complete arrays.

The Tier Nine Arrays Su Mo held now were not only incomplete, but many were also incomprehensible Ancient Arrays.

Failing was a perfectly normal outcome.

He himself had studied them for a full two months and hadn’t understood a single word.

Thinking of this, he felt the urge to comfort Su Mo.

But before he could say anything…

Su Mo gave an order, “I’ve comprehended all of these arrays. Old Huang, get ready. Let’s start setting up the array.”

“Huh?”

Huang Xu stood there, completely dumbfounded.

‘He comprehended all of them?’

‘These are incomplete arrays! Even their original creators probably couldn’t have comprehended them in such a short time.’

He wanted to ask if Su Mo was absolutely sure he wasn’t joking.

However, Su Mo didn’t give him a chance to ask. He simply flashed into the sky above Qingyang City and took out the materials for setting up the array.

“Old Huang, send a voice transmission to Zhuge Su. Tell him to bring the Evil King here.”

Su Mo ordered.

Huang Xu was thoroughly confused.

‘Zhuge Su and the Evil King may have become Martial Emperors, but they don’t know anything about setting up arrays. What does he want them here for?’

Nevertheless, he sent the voice transmission and summoned the two of them.

“Elder Su, you were looking for us?”

Zhuge Su and the Evil King asked respectfully.

Su Mo said, “You two, go stand guard outside the city. If any powerful experts show up, lure them into Qingyang City’s array.”

“Lure a wolf into our home?”

Zhuge Su and the Evil King exclaimed in surprise.

Su Mo instructed, “Remember, do not harm them in any way. You must ensure they remain in peak condition. Only then can they be of use to me.”

“Yes!”

Although neither of them knew why Su Mo wanted to lure a wolf into their home, they followed his plan and went to stand guard outside the city.

Then, Su Mo began to set up the array.

No Spirit Stones were needed, as the Golden Dragon Earth Vein would provide a continuous, inexhaustible supply of Spiritual Qi to support all the arrays.

All he needed to do was embed the materials and establish the Array Base.

In just a few short minutes, Su Mo had finished setting up an Eight Threads Celestial Array.

Huang Xu couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart, ‘He’s already finished? It seems Elder Su really did comprehend those incomplete arrays completely.’

When setting up an array, one must deliberate carefully; not a single detail can be wrong.

The more powerful the array, the more complex it is.

Even Saint-level Array Masters had to be extremely cautious when setting up an array.

It could take anywhere from a week to several months to perfectly set up a single array.

And yet, Su Mo had finished in just a few short seconds.

Such speed was simply heaven-defying.

Suddenly, Huang Xu seemed to remember something and cried out in alarm, “Damn it, I forgot to take out my little notebook!”

He had been so engrossed in watching Su Mo set up the array that he’d forgotten to record the process, missing out on a huge opportunity.

Dammit!

Fuck!

“Activate!”

With a casual wave of his hand, Su Mo shot a dense flurry of runes into the array, and the entire formation immediately began to operate.

RUMBLE!

Several pitch-black chains extended from the Array Base, piercing through all of Qingyang City and connecting to the high heavens.

“It’s done!”

Su Mo nodded in satisfaction. He then looked at the dozens of large mountains outside the city and said, “These mountains are useless just sitting there. I’ll refine them and integrate them into the array. They should be able to crush quite a few Martial Emperors.”

WHOOSH!

The Bone Spirit Demon Fire shot out from Su Mo’s fingertip, engulfing and refining all dozens of mountains.

At the same time, Su Mo threw out a large amount of Refined Iron Material, which fused with the mountains and was ultimately refined into several Fine Iron Mountains, each over a hundred meters tall.

RUMBLE!

Su Mo moved all of these Fine Iron Mountains into the array.

「Meanwhile…」

The Evil King, standing guard outside the city, asked in a low voice, “Elder Zhuge, why do you think Elder Su asked us to lure a wolf into our home?”

“I don’t know either!”

Zhuge Su shook his head. “However, Elder Su certainly has his reasons for doing this. We just need to follow his orders.”

“Alright!”

the Evil King said with a nod.

WHOOSH!

Just then, several powerful auras suddenly appeared in the distance, approaching at lightning speed.

“This is…”

the Evil King said in alarm.

Several hundred figures had appeared before him, as dense as a swarm of locusts.

Among them were a number of Martial Emperor Level experts.

Zhuge Su said nervously, “This is bad. These are experts from the Sacred Lands.”

“The Sacred Lands?”

the Evil King asked in surprise.

Zhuge Su said nervously, “See that Daoist priest on the left with the immortal-like bearing? That’s Elder Fang Xi from the Kunlun Sacred Land.”

The Evil King looked up and sure enough, on the left side of the crowd, he saw an elderly Daoist priest with an immortal-like bearing.

This was none other than Elder Fang Xi.

Zhuge Su continued, “The two on the right are Elder Yuan Jie from the Jizhen Sacred Land and Elder Ye Mingli from the Taiyi Sacred Land.”

“What?”

The Evil King’s face was filled with terror.

Although he had never heard of these Sacred Lands, he could sense their immense power; they were all terrifyingly formidable existences.

Take Elder Fang Xi, for example.

Even from such a great distance, he could feel an incredibly terrifying aura from the man.

This aura far surpassed that of the previous Baili Canon.

The Evil King said in a grave tone, “This is beyond our ability to handle. We must report to Elder Su at once and let him decide what to do.”
