Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1447: Chapter 791: Li Valley

”Another door?”

Xun Ziyou was a bit surprised.

”Yes.”

Mo Hua nodded.

He stared again at the Demon Refining Diagram in front of him.

In the nightmare constructed by the Demon Refining Diagram, most of the Divine Formation had been rendered useless by him, and the Demon Wraiths had mostly been devoured by him.

Now, the Demon Refining Diagram in reality appeared less sinister, with less of the formation’s mystical essence, like the remnants of formation media.

And the nightmare is a reflection of reality.

The ”nightmare” in the Demon Refining Diagram was constructed based on the current world’s Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. There would be differences, but the layout was similar.

In the nightmare, the Demon Refining Diagram was a blank wall painting.

Behind the mural, there was another world.

In reality, there should also be something special behind the Demon Refining Diagram...

Mo Hua said to Xun Ziyou:

”Elder Xun, break through this wall painting.”

”Break through?”

”Yes!” Mo Hua nodded, ”There are things inside.”

Xun Ziyou slightly frowned, pondered for a moment, then nodded, drew his Lifebound Spirit Sword, and with the spiritual power of the Golden Core Realm, unleashed Sword Qi, striking at the mural.

The mural cracked instantly but was deeply layered and impenetrable.

Xun Ziyou struck several more times, Sword Qi seeped into the stone wall, and after a dozen strikes, the mural was finally broken through.

Dust and stone fragments fell with a rustle, smoke and dust rising.

When the smoke and dust cleared, it revealed a narrow passage behind the mural, and beyond the passage, a door painted with the head of a Sheep-Horned Demon Monster.

”Sheep-horned evil sculpture...”

Xun Zixian’s face turned pale, and he exchanged a glance with Xun Ziyou.

Mo Hua pretended not to understand and quietly asked:

”Elder Xun, do you know what the sheep horn signifies?”

Xun Zixian frowned, slowly shook his head, and said in a deep voice:

”The sheep horn is a symbol of evil desires. Resentment and jealousy in the world, various evil desires, feed the Evil Spirits that devour Divine Thoughts, corrupting the human heart.”

”And the Evil Spirits with sheep horns have ancient origins and are significant.”

”But this particular sheep-horned evil sculpture... I have never seen it before, and I do not know precisely what kind of Evil Spirit it symbolizes. I fear I must consult the Ancestor... ”

”Oh...” Mo Hua nodded.

After Xun Zixian spoke, he cautioned Mo Hua:

”In the future, be extremely careful. If you encounter ’sheep horn’ statues or murals, be very wary. Avoid them if possible, don’t get involved if you can help it.”

”Elder, rest assured, I will definitely avoid them.” He promised earnestly.

Xun Zixian breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, Xun Ziyou’s expression was somewhat grave, ”Shall we go in?”

Xun Zixian thought for a moment, then slowly said, ”Let’s go in and take a look first.”

Mo Hua knew that behind this door, there should already be no danger.

The most dangerous things were all within the ”nightmare” of the Demon Refining Diagram.

These dangerous things were either eaten by him, killed by him, or ”scared” away by him.

However, the atmosphere had reached this point, so he still acted as if facing a formidable foe.

After all, if he said nothing about the Demon Refining Diagram, Elder Xun and the others wouldn’t know.

Shangguan Xuanjian stayed outside, watching over Ling Huxiao and the others.

The secrets behind the door weren’t critical to him.

Xun Ziyou, wielding his sword, struck open the sheep-horned door.

On the door was painted a Divine Formation, but this kind of formation warded Divine Thoughts and sealed Evil Spirits, naturally unable to block Sword Qi of the Golden Core Realm.

After the door was broken, a sinister green space lay inside.

When Xun Ziyou entered, he immediately saw a large hall.

In the hall, bone lamps were lit, flickering with forest green bone fire.

The decoration around was solemn and evil, with murals on the walls in the same style as the Demon Refining Diagram outside, obviously inherited from the same lineage.

And in the center of the hall, more than a dozen people sat in a row.

In front of each one was a lamp.

However, these lamps were all extinguished.

These dozen people were icy cold, without any breath.

Xun Ziyou and Xun Zixian exchanged glances, their expressions slightly surprised.

All dead?

This hall is sealed; no one broke in. How did they die?

Moreover, there were no wounds on them, seemingly their Divine Souls simply vanished?

The two couldn’t help but look back at Mo Hua.

Xun Ziyou asked, ”Mo Hua, do you know what happened here?”

Mo Hua shook his head and ”guessed”:

”Perhaps they did too many bad things and faced retribution, or perhaps they consorted with Evil Spirits, suffered backlash, and had their Divine Sense devoured by Evil Spirits.”

He didn’t lie.

These people indeed faced retribution.

Their Divine Sense was indeed devoured by the Sword Bone, this Evil Spirit.

Xun Ziyou and Xun Zixian, seeing Mo Hua’s innocent look, didn’t know what to say for a moment and could only sigh.

Xun Zixian then said, ”Let us leave it at that, these people consorted with Evil Spirits and had their Divine Sense eaten by them.”

This statement effectively ”concluded” it.

These people died on their own, unrelated to others.

Xun Zixian silently glanced at Mo Hua.

Also unrelated to Mo Hua...

Xun Ziyou understood his meaning and nodded.

Mo Hua glanced silently at the more than a dozen dead monster cultivators, his eyes moved slightly, discovering Jin Gui, Jin Yicai, and Jin Yixuan, these three Sever Gold Sect disciples, shockingly among them, and slightly nodded.

”Sever Gold Sect can’t escape this now...”

”Even if they don’t die, they’ll lose a layer of skin.”

But he didn’t say this, acting as if it had nothing to do with him.

Anyway, the identities of these people, once the elders investigate, will be found out.

Mo Hua’s gaze shifted away from the more than a dozen dead monster cultivators and looked upward.

Above were luxurious screens, with jade bead curtains.

Behind the screens and bead curtains, a glimpse of a magnificent monster-skin chair could be seen.
