I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 586: Chapter 322: Treasure Mansion Advancement (Part 1)

”The Eight Gates Earth Demon Array? That doesn’t seem entirely right. While the Eight Gates Earth Demon Array also has illusion and destructive effects, its core lies in the use of Earth Fiend Qi. This has some differences from the aura of the array before us,” the elder muttered to himself, with a puzzled expression in his eyes, while rapidly contemplating in his mind.

The Divinity Transformation Elder’s eyes were bright, his gaze seemed to penetrate the layers of array patterns, revealing the secrets within. Gradually, the elder discovered some unusual aspects of this array.

”This array has the effect of obscuring Divine Sense, making it difficult for one to investigate its internal situation. At times, it also exudes a dazed soul aura, causing one to unknowingly fall into it. More importantly, it contains a killing array with the power of the Five Elements, which, once triggered, will deliver a devastating strike.”

The Divinity Transformation Elder grew increasingly shocked as he observed the array. Its arrangement and techniques exceeded his comprehension. ”This seems not to be merely a single grand array, but rather several, or even a dozen formidable arrays mixed together!”

”Gasp! What array grandmaster did the Li’s Treasure Tower hire? To perfectly link so many arrays together, forming such a powerful and complex defense system.” The elder inhaled deeply, filled with awe and curiosity in his heart.

The magical artifact’s might released earlier by Li’s Treasure Tower was too vast, almost every cultivator on Ten Thousand Stars Island felt it, especially those high-end cultivators were even more sensitive.

Before long, silhouettes came from all directions, gathering around Li’s Treasure Tower. Some were the strong cultivators from Ten Thousand Stars Island, others were Divinity Transformation Cultivators drawn by the spirit treasures. They wanted to explore what this powerful magical artifact’s might was about.

However, when they arrived at Li’s Treasure Tower, they found the entire Treasure Tower had shut its doors to visitors, and the Tower Protection Array was already activated. The aura within was obscured, and the mysterious and powerful array left everyone in awe, not daring to approach easily.

Many Divinity Transformation Cultivators saw the elder Lin Fude, a renowned array master in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region. Not only was he proficient in arranging various arrays, but he excelled at deciphering and modifying them, and his cultivation was quite remarkable.

”Master Lin, you came too. As the most outstanding array master of the Ten Thousand Stars Sea, could you tell us about the arrays in Li’s Treasure Tower?” a middle-aged Divinity Transformation Cultivator recognized Master Lin and promptly approached to ask.

”Indeed! Master Lin, are you confident in passing through this array?” Another prestigious Divinity Transformation Cultivator quickly joined in, asking concernedly.

...

Around Li’s Treasure Tower were many high-tier cultivators attempting to use their keen perception and powerful divine thoughts to detect the source of the magical artifact’s spirit light and the depth of the treasure tower’s protective array.

Yet, when their divine thoughts touched Li’s Treasure Tower’s defense array, it was akin to hitting an invisible barrier. The potent resistance prevented all divine thoughts from penetrating, let alone probing the depth of the grand array.

”Li’s Treasure Tower’s defense array is incredibly powerful; my divine thought cannot penetrate it,” sighed a mid-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivator, his face full of surprise and helplessness.

”Indeed, I’m the same. This Li’s Treasure Tower’s array that isolates divine thoughts must be the work of an array master; it’s extraordinary,” another late-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivator echoed, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and exploration.

The high-tier cultivators’ eyes were all focused on the elder Lin Fude, expecting a response from the array master.

”I have no choice! Now I can only barely see some aspects of these arrays; don’t expect me to break them!” Lin Fude met everyone’s gaze, chuckling helplessly in response.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. They initially thought Lin Fude could easily decipher this array, but received this reply instead.

”Master Lin, aren’t you curious about that powerful artifact’s might earlier, what spirit treasure it actually is? It should be the might of a Tier Seven Dao Artifact, right?” A Divinity Transformation Cultivator asked discontentedly while marveling: ”I’ve cultivated for so many years, yet never have I felt such powerful artifact’s might!”

”Indeed, Li’s Treasure Tower is truly stingy, keeping such spirit treasures hidden rather than allowing everyone to admire them!” An approximately fifty-year-old Divinity Transformation Cultivator bragged boldly.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators present showed peculiar expressions. If they possessed such high-tier spirit treasures, they’d surely hide them even more securely than Li’s Treasure Tower. However, since the target was Li’s Treasure Tower, the same did not apply.

”Hmph! Even though Li’s Treasure Tower has a Tier Seven Dao Artifact, it may not share it with all the cultivators of Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region!” another cultivator retorted disdainfully.

The cultivators hearing this couldn’t help but feel stirred, captivated by the desire for the Tier Seven Dao Artifact within Li’s Treasure Tower.

”What kind of might does this Tier Seven Dao Artifact possess to emit such a powerful aura?” A young Nascent Soul Cultivator asked curiously.

”This Tier Seven Dao Artifact isn’t an ordinary spirit treasure,” another elder replied calmly, explaining with gravitas: ”Once a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure progresses to a Tier Seven Dao Artifact, it contains Dao Essence. Having a Dao Artifact means possessing immense power, aiding the owner in enlightenment, understanding the Dao Law, enhancing talent, assisting in promotion, and many other miraculous functions.”

”With the assistance of such a Dao Artifact, advancing to a higher realm is easily within reach.”

Hearing this, the cultivators’ eyes all gleamed brightly, understanding further the value of the Tier Seven Dao Artifact. Their eyes turned towards the array master Lin Fude, hoping he could decipher Li’s Treasure Tower’s protective array.

Facing everyone’s gaze, Lin Fude glanced at them lightly, chuckling: ”Of course I’m curious about this Tier Seven Dao Artifact, but curiosity aside, there are matters we cannot easily interfere with!”

Lin Fude paused, introducing gravely: ”Li’s Treasure Tower’s defense array is exceptionally complex, combining multiple arrays to form a powerful and all-encompassing defense array. To decipher it requires deep array mastery, along with tremendous strength and means. Even I find it difficult to glimpse even a part of it.”

”No way! Master Lin, you are the foremost array expert in the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region!” a red-haired Divinity Transformation Cultivator looked at Master Lin Fude incredulously, his face full of surprise and doubt.

”Indeed! Master Lin, surely you aren’t saying this because you fear offending the Li Family?” another middle-aged Divinity Transformation Cultivator questioned.

”Master Lin, you have always been our idol. Your mastery of arrays is unparalleled; please don’t belittle yourself!” urged another cultivator, with a tone touched with flattery.

”It’s not that I’m unwilling, but I’m truly powerless. The array master invited by Li’s Treasure Tower far surpasses me in array mastery. You needn’t persuade me any further!” Lin Fude chuckled, speaking candidly.

Upon hearing these words, the cultivators exchanged glances, never expecting that array master Lin Fude would openly admit inferiority to another, leaving them with no grounds to persuade further.

Nonetheless, despite being unable to breach the array, the cultivators continued to linger around Li’s Treasure Tower, unwilling to leave for a long time. They had a shared intention that no matter what, they must witness the legendary Tier Seven Dao Artifact firsthand.

As time passed, night began to fall, yet the cultivators were still reluctant to leave, remaining around Li’s Treasure Tower, still waiting for something.
