Chapter 913: I want to learn this!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Outside West Qi was a vast wasteland where sand and small rocks flew in the wild winds, and dust filled the sky.
In front of the West Qi army was Nata, who stood on the Fiery Wheels with the Fiery Tip Spear in his hands, Huang Tianhua who was riding on the Jade Kirin, Leizhenzi with his weird and fierce looks, and Yang Jian, emanating a magnificent presence as he looked into the distance.
On the side of the Shang Dynasty that was ruled by Yin Shang, Grand Preceptor Wen was standing before others while riding on the black Kirin with a gold whip in his hand. Behind him were ten Daoists with chilly expressions. Their faces looked very weird, being green, yellow, red, or white in colour. Riding on immortal elks, they stood in one line.
The two armies formed their formations with intense murderous spirits!
The viewers had never seen such a scene before. They were amazed that the mortal troops were led by immortals whose powers were unimaginable.
When they built the arrays, the soldiers and generals took their positions. The formation looked even more mysterious as heavy dust and sand filled the air.
Su Tianji and some other cultivators, such as the Wuwei Daoist Alliance Master Lan Mo, followed Jiang Ziya into the arrays to observe them. The moment that they passed the border of the array flags which acted as invisible portals, they felt as if they had entered another world in which the sky was dim and the earth was dark. Even though it was only a part of the arrays that weren’t completely finished, it could scare ordinary people witless!
As the two sects battled, they only used their techniques and Dao spells. Even though they didn’t use any cunning and strange military schemes, the arrays full of dangers looked more frightening than military tactics!
At this moment, on one hand, the viewers in the new shops and the ones in the Continent of Immortal Relics admired Grand Preceptor Wen’s loyalty and the indigenous Ten Ultimate Arrays built by the Ten Heavenly Masters from the Golden Turtle Island. They were eager to see the great power of the major arrays. On the other hand, they hoped that the great West Qi army would reach Morning Song immediately and teach the cruel king a hard lesson. For one moment, they were worried that Jiang Ziya couldn’t break the arrays. For the next moment, they were worried that old Grand Preceptor Wen would be defeated. They felt torn.
...
“There’s indeed no one who can break these arrays...?” Artifact masters such as Li Haoran and Jun Yangzi from the Wuwei Daoist Alliance stared at the major arrays. Instead of activating the arrays, the Ten Heavenly Masters invited Jiang Ziya to enter the arrays and observe them so he could return and think of a way to break it, which showed how confident they were in the Ten Ultimate Arrays.
Obviously, the arrays didn’t let them down since no one in the whole West Qi army could think of a way to deal with them!
“So horrifying! There’s such a horrifying thing in ancient Huaxia!” In the new shop in Canglan City, Black Dragon Gulth howled in astonishment, “I feel like its presence is even more scary than some of the powerful gods... Is it an array?!”
In his mind, arrays were just magic arrays, not this thing that contained so many dangers and mysteries!
“Ten Ultimate Arrays?! What good stuff are you watching!?” At this moment, Valkyrie Isabela, who was lying in the Heavenly Realm, could only obtain some clues by eavesdropping on the murmurs of the viewers as she waited for the livestream on the big screen at 8 PM. She was so impatient that she wished that she could leap out of the pool and go to the shop to watch the newest episodes of Investiture of the Gods.
Despite her impatience, she perked up her ears to eavesdrop on the elves, afraid that she would miss some details that they had let slip about the TV Series.
At this moment, the elves exclaimed, “How come the Master of the Desolate Array is so powerful?!”
[TL Note: Hun and po are types of souls in Chinese philosophy and traditional religion. Within this ancient soul dualism tradition, every living human has both a hun spiritual, ethereal, yang soul which leaves the body after death, and also a po corporeal, substantive, yin soul which remains with the corpse of the deceased. It is believed that people have three hun and seven po.]
“He stole Jiang Ziya’s two hun and six po with only a scarecrow!?” They saw Heavenly Master Yao set an earth platform and an incense desk in the Desolate Array and place a scarecrow on the platform with Jiang Shang’s name attached on it. Three lamps were placed on the scarecrow’s head while seven lamps were placed by its feet. By using talisman paper and seals in front of the platform, he had taken almost all of Jiang Ziya’s souls in about 20 days as the latter tried to think of a way to deal with the array!
Even the cultivators on the East Continent had never seen such weird and powerful Dao spells before!
It was hard and even impossible to defend. Even though they knew the causes, Yang Jian and Nata were clueless as to how to block the spell.
It was a technique that went beyond their scope of knowledge!
They couldn’t understand the connection between the scarecrow and Jiang Ziya and why it could break through all defenses and target his hun and po with ease.
It was so dangerous!
“A scarecrow?! What? What? Another powerful object?!” Lying in the pool, the Valkyrie wished that her hands could move and ease the itching sensation caused by her impatience to watch the TV series.
“Say something more, guys!” She was desperate.
At this moment, the viewers began to understand the great power of this array. After all, the disciple sent by the Primal Lord of Heaven lost his souls and almost died there after just coming out of the sect!
At last, Jiang Ziya, with only one hun and one po left and desperate to return to Kunlun, floated back to Kunlun Mountain and encountered the South Pole Immortal Elder, who stopped the last hun and po from being taken. If this didn’t happen, Investiture of the Gods would end soon after it began.
Then, the viewers watched as the Primeval Lord of Heaven’s second disciple, Chijing Zi, went to take back Jiang Ziya’s hun and po. Instead of taking them back, he almost died in the array. Seeing this scene, the viewers were shocked beyond words!
After all, Chijing Zi was one of the Golden Immortals and only second to Guangcheng Zi among the twelve Golden Immortals!
“What’s the background of the Ten Heavenly Masters? It seems like everyone from the Jie Sect is powerful!” the viewers had been a bit worried that the old Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong would be defeated. But now, they were full of worry for Jiang Ziya and West Qi, wondering if anyone in the world could break this array!
Even more unbelievable was that even the Primeval Lord of Heaven couldn’t give them a good method to enter the array and take back Jiang Ziya’s hun and po. With his decree, the people of West Qi went to Eight-View Palace in Xuandu Cave of Daluo Palace and visited Laozi, who then gave them a Tai Chi Scroll. But this scroll could only deal with the array that took Jiang Ziya’s hun and po, and there were ten arrays.
Chijing Zi, whose combat strength ranked top among the twelve Golden Immortals, entered the array with that Tai Chi Scroll, and he only made a narrow escape after taking back Jiang Ziya’s hun and po but lost the Tai Chi Scroll in the array!
When he escaped from the array, he was scared senseless!
“This... can we learn this array?!” Suddenly, many cultivators yelled. After all, they had watched every detail including when the Heavenly Masters refined these array blueprints!
Su Tianji also stared at the Ten Ultimate Array and shouted, “I’ll learn it too! I’ll learn... the Golden Light Array made by Golden Light Saint Mother!”
“Huh?! Aiya!” Su Tianji was delighted when she saw that the Golden Light Saint Mother also used lightning spells!
“Ya! I’ll learn this one! I’ll learn this one!”
