The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 693: Chapter 693: Speechless Hall Master

Basic Arrays could threaten Daoist Realm Martial Artists, but it was very difficult to kill them.

Intermediate Arrays could kill Daoist Realm Martial Artists. However, for Dao King Realm Martial Artists, especially those at the peak of the Dao King Realm, as long as they were cautious, it was still quite difficult for the power of Intermediate Arrays to kill them.

The fact that so many Daoist Realm and Dao King Realm Martial Artists from the Gai Family were killed in a short period of time, it definitely could only have been possible with Advanced Arrays.

And now, on the Heavenly Origin Continent, only some cities with a very long history would be protected by Advanced Arrays, such as those cities where the Alchemy Dao Families, the Seven Great Families, and some cities with profound forces reside.

Donglin City, a small city like this, naturally could not be protected by Advanced Arrays. Not to mention Donglin City, even Lanqu County City would not be protected by Advanced Arrays. Most Commandery cities on the continent did not have Advanced Arrays either.

”From the information I have, Donglin City does have Advanced Arrays, and not just one, at least two,” said Shen Chong with narrowed eyes.

At this time, the Hall Masters who had previously been resting with their eyes closed, all opened their eyes, showing disbelief.

”This... is too preposterous! Could it be that Jing Yan, the Great Alchemist King, is also acquainted with a High-level Array Master?” one Hall Master said with a strange smile.

”Could it be that Donglin City deliberately released such information to deter the Gai Family from continuing to send people to Donglin City to stir up trouble?” another Hall Master speculated.

This Hall Master obviously still believed that it was not Arrays that had killed the more than thirty Gai Family powerhouses, but Jing Yan who had taken direct action.

”When more than thirty people from the Gai Family were killed in Donglin City, Jing Yan and I were in Lanqu County City,” Hu Donghe said, having held back until now, finally spoke up.

Listening to the discussion of the Hall Masters, Hu Donghe could not help but want to laugh.

He was present when Jing Yan was setting up the Advanced Arrays. He had personally seen Jing Yan setting up three Advanced Arrays in Donglin City: an Attack Array, a Defense Array, and a Binding Array.

As soon as Hu Donghe spoke up, everyone’s gaze turned to him.

”Jing Yan wasn’t in Donglin City at that time?”

”Does Donglin City really have an Advanced Attack Array?” Two Hall Masters asked in succession.

”Exactly! I can tell you, Donglin City not only has an Advanced Attack Array,” Hu Donghe nodded, ”In fact, Donglin City has three Advanced Arrays: besides the Attack Array, there are also the Defense Array and the Binding Array. Not even five or six Dao Emperor powerhouses could break through Donglin City in a short amount of time.”

”Impossible!” The expression on the Third Hall Master contorted, he simply could not believe it.

”Heh, there’s nothing impossible about it. I was present when Jing Yan set up those three Big Arrays, and I watched him set them up with my own eyes” Hu Donghe said with a mocking expression, looking at the Third Hall Master.

The hall fell silent.

Jing Yan set up three Advanced Arrays?

What did that mean?

All the Hall Masters looked blankly at Hu Donghe. Only Saint Master Shen Chong and Chang Huan showed no change in expression, because Saint Master Shen Chong had previously guessed that Jing Yan was a High-level Array Master.

”Great Pill King Hu Donghe.”

”Are you saying that Jing Yan, who is only in his thirties, is not only a Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner but also a Great Alchemist King, and at the same time reached the level of a High-level Array Master in the field of arrays?” The Great Hall Master rolled his eyes and took a deep breath.

”Not a bit wrong, Jing Yan’s abilities are indeed that strong.”

”You probably don’t know yet, after Jing Yan set up three Advanced Arrays covering the whole of Donglin City, he also went to Lanqu County City and helped the City Lord Mansion and other residences set up six Advanced Arrays,” said Hu Donghe with a hint of pride in his voice.

Hearing this, all the Hall Masters really didn’t know what to say.

They indeed could not believe this fact.

But would Hu Donghe deceive them? If they weren’t all familiar with Hu Donghe, they would definitely be doubting the authenticity of Hu Donghe right now and wonder if someone was impersonating him.

In the Great Hall, there was a long silence.

In the Qiankun Small World.

Jing Yan stood in front of the Qiankun Pill Furnace, circulating Primordial Energy, controlling Source Power, and sequentially adding various materials into the Pill Furnace to extract their essences.

The Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill required materials that numbered over a hundred, of which eighty percent are relatively easily obtainable on the Heavenly Origin Continent. Among the remaining twenty percent, more than half, although rare, often appeared at large auctions. As long as one was willing to pay enough, they could still be purchased.

But there were three or four kinds of materials that even Spirit Stones could not buy. More Spirit Stones would be useless; they were beyond price.

”This Soul Containing Grass is indeed very rare to see!” Jing Yan looked at a black, palm-sized grass in his hand.

Soul Containing Grass, even Jing Yan coveted it.

It was even rarer than the Dao Essence Fruit.

One could say, the most crucial material for refining the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill was Soul Containing Grass, it was the core material. The value of a single Soul Containing Grass exceeded the sum total of all other materials.

”It’s too wasteful to use Soul Containing Grass to refine the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill.”

”Let’s use the Three-eyed Peacock Grass instead, the effects won’t be any different,” Jing Yan narrowed his eyes as he thought.

Before he could ponder any further, the Soul Containing Grass in his palm disappeared, replaced by a golden Three-eyed Peacock Grass.

Three-eyed Peacock Grass was also a Ninth-level Spirit Grass, likewise valuable, but it could still be purchased in decent amounts on the Heavenly Origin Continent.

If Hu Donghe were refining the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill, he certainly couldn’t and wouldn’t dare to use Three-eyed Peacock Grass to replace Soul Containing Grass, because the formula for the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill he knew required Soul Containing Grass as an ingredient.

The Alchemy formula Jing Yan knew, however, came from the Qiankun Pill Path, which was by no means comparable to what Hu Donghe knew.

After replacing the Spirit Grass, Jing Yan continued to refine the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill. The refining of Ninth-level Elixirs was quite challenging, especially for the incredibly potent Ten Thousands Spirit Returning to Origin Pill.

But in Jing Yan’s hands, there wasn’t much of a difference, it took only a bit more time.

Of course, Jing Yan did not take it lightly; he was very serious.

The Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill was indeed very powerful, and Jing Yan would also use it while cultivating. Once this batch of pills was refined, Jing Yan naturally would not give all the formed pills to Leng Hongying; he would keep a portion for his own use. Therefore, the better the quality of the refined Elixirs, the greater the benefit for Jing Yan himself.

Time passed, day by day.

On the evening of the third day since starting the Alchemy, the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill was finally completed.

Jing Yan ceased circulating the Primordial Energy and Source Power, ready to open the Pill Furnace and take out the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pill.

Just as Jing Yan opened the Pill Furnace, Mysterious Energy surged throughout the heavens and earth. The Power of Laws descended in a myriad of colors!

”Isolate!” Jing Yan’s gaze sharpened as he released his powerful Divine Soul, utilizing the power of the Qiankun Small World to envelop the Law’s Power drawn by the Elixir in an extremely short time.
