Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”What do you think I want to do?”

With his right hand resting on the Crystal Throne, Yun Xiao turned his head and stared at the Array Heart Strange Spirit, asking suggestively. This casual demeanor made the Array Heart Strange Spirit feel a sense of unease.

”Kid, this is the High-level Heavenly ’Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array.’ Do you really think you can destroy the core of such a large array?”

Although the Array Heart Strange Spirit was somewhat uneasy, it still sneered with some disdain. After all, even the Water Palace Master at the Heavenly Realm couldn’t destroy the array core back then, so it couldn’t believe that a young lad at the half-step Earth Realm could really damage it.

”Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array, huh?”

Yun Xiao muttered the name of this large array. Even though he was a Holy Rank Array Master during his time at the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, it was impossible for him to be proficient with every single array in the world.

However, the right hand Yun Xiao placed on the Crystal Throne did not move in the slightest, seemingly sensing something. When a certain moment arrived, a faint smile appeared on his face.

”Although a High-level Heavenly array is remarkable, in my eyes, Yun Xiao, it is merely ordinary!”

Just as the Array Heart Strange Spirit was feeling uncertain and suspicious, Yun Xiao’s smile grew even more pronounced, and the words that came out of his mouth made the Strange Spirit’s heart sink, as if something had slipped out of its control.

”No, impossible, this is the High-level Heavenly Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array. He absolutely cannot destroy it!”

At this moment, the Array Heart Strange Spirit could only muster up some confidence internally. However, all this confidence was shattered into pieces under the miraculous spectacle that followed in the next instant.

”You seem like you don’t believe it!”

Yun Xiao’s smile remained, and after his light laughter subsided, he extended his other empty left hand, pointing towards a certain void, and whispered, ”Reveal!”

Splash! Splash!

As Yun Xiao whispered, streams of water appeared in the space where he pointed with his left hand.

These streams of water collided under some kind of force and eventually formed a giant water sphere, suspended in the air, appearing strange and magical.

”This... this...”

Upon seeing this scene, as the Strange Spirit formed from the array heart of this large array, it knew very well what had happened, but it simply did not want to acknowledge it, or rather, did not dare to acknowledge it.

At this moment, Yun Xiao’s left hand moved again. As he casually pointed dozens of times, dozens of water spheres appeared in the air of this great hall, resembling transparent crystal balls, elegant and striking.

”Merge!”

Another low cry came from Yun Xiao’s mouth, and the dozens of water spheres, originally only the size of human heads, responded by moving together, finally coalescing into a massive sphere several meters in diameter at the center.

”Burst!”

The deep shout reached the ears of the Array Heart Strange Spirit, and the giant water sphere burst in mid-air, making it seem like a torrential downpour inside the entire hall, drenching the Array Heart Strange Spirit completely.

Although these water droplets contained no attack power and did not cause even the slightest harm to the Strange Spirit, its face had already changed drastically.

Its figure trembled violently as if it had seen something terrifying.

”No, this must be an illusion. He’s just a human kid at the half-step Earth Realm. How could he have possibly mastered the Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array so quickly? There must be something wrong!”

The Array Heart Strange Spirit roared internally, denying its own suspicions, but a voice deep within was clearly telling it that everything was real. That plain-clothed human youth had truly mastered the Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array.

But how could a human cultivator at the half-step Earth Realm master the great array in such a short time? Even if he touched the array core, that was something even High-level Heavenly Array Masters couldn’t achieve.

In the world of array formations, every type of array has its own unique characteristics. No Array Master can claim mastery over all arrays.

Simply put, if a Fire Attribute Array Master encounters a Water Attribute Array, trying to unravel it would definitely take twice the effort for half the result, unless the difference in grade between the array and the master is extremely vast.

As the core of the Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array, this Array Heart Strange Spirit probably understands this large array better than the Water Palace Master did back then.

It believed that even if a true High-level Heavenly Array Master found this core, it would be impossible to fully master the Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array within a little over ten breaths’ time.

Array formation is extremely meticulous. Even with the array core inscribed with all the methods and variables of this large array, wanting to claim it and activate the array as easily as manipulating one’s own arm is simply impossible.

But how could this Array Heart Strange Spirit have imagined that, despite appearing to be a young man under the age of twenty, the soul standing before him had lived for an unknown number of years.

At this moment, Yun Xiao, whether it is in terms of Meridian Qi Cultivation, Meridian Refining Technique, or Array Formation, is far from being comparable to his peak in his previous life. But in terms of theory alone, not only in the Tenglong Continent, but even in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, there are few who dare claim to be stronger than him.

If Yun Xiao had to personally set up such a high-level Heavenly Rank large array, even with the array map and array flag placed before him, he would not be able to arrange it at present.

However, he has already touched the array core, understood the operation principle and method of this large array, and just accomplishing this simple point is effortless for Yun Xiao.

This can be said to be standing on the shoulders of predecessors. A Heavenly Stage Advanced Array Master set up this large array, and he is just taking advantage of it. Simply controlling the array core and employing some techniques is a mere trifling matter.

After all, Yun Xiao was once one of the top Array Masters in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud!

Due to his exceedingly strong Meridian Qi Combat Power and unparalleled Meridian Refining Technique, his reputation in Array Formation was not prominent. In fact, in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, those who could compare with him in Array Formation were very few.

But the Array Heart Strange Spirit knew none of this. He only saw the human teenager merely place his right hand on the throne for more than ten breaths, and then he could control the Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array to perform some special techniques.

How incredible is this? How astonishing?

”Who are you exactly?”

At this moment, the Array Heart Strange Spirit could no longer possibly consider the other as a youngster under the age of twenty. After asking this, a thought suddenly arose in his heart: Could this also be a body seized by some old monster?

If so, then everything makes sense.

Anyway, even if it meant death to the Array Heart Strange Spirit, he would not believe that the Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array could be so effortlessly broken by a teenager under twenty— that defies common sense.

In fact, what the Array Heart Strange Spirit suspected was quite close to the truth. Yun Xiao’s reincarnated body is under twenty, but the soul has lived for countless years, and that is his greatest secret, his ultimate trump card.

”Give you two choices!”

Yun Xiao, as if controlling the heavens and earth, reached out his left hand, then extended his index and middle fingers, speaking in a calm tone: ”One, submit to me and tell me the secret of Yanji Lake; two, die!”

In the first choice, there were more than a dozen words, but when Yun Xiao mentioned the second choice, a surge of hostility instantly emanated from him, causing the Array Heart Strange Spirit to tremble violently.

”Hahaha!”

However, in the next moment, the Array Heart Strange Spirit laughed heartily thrice toward the sky, pointed at Yun Xiao, and said, ”Boy, do you really think you can kill me within this Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array?”

”Even though you control the Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array, you cannot possibly damage the core of this large array. As long as the large array is intact, I am undying!”

The triumphant laughter of the Array Heart Strange Spirit echoed through the Crystal Palace, and after a slight pause, he continued: ”Let me tell you, there is indeed a secret in Yanji Lake, but it’s a dream to think I’d tell you!”

”Oh? Is that so?”

Hearing the Array Heart Strange Spirit’s joyous laughter, Yun Xiao shook his head and sighed: ”So you are choosing the second path, then? I can’t be blamed for that!”

Yun Xiao’s head-shaking, self-satisfied demeanor clearly infuriated the Array Heart Strange Spirit, who, as if trying to muster his own courage, roared: ”You can just give up! Even Heavenly Realm experts could not damage this array core, and you think you can kill me?”

This was the Array Heart Strange Spirit’s greatest trump card. It had fused with the memory of the former Water Palace Master and knew how that master tried countless methods to break free from the constraints of the large array, even hacking at the Crystal Throne with high-level Heavenly weapons, not leaving a single white scratch.

Moreover, being the core of the Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array, the Array Heart Strange Spirit knew very well how hard the Crystal Throne was. It was no ordinary crystal but a special item the Array Master had painstakingly acquired, impervious to knife, sword, water, and fire.

The human teenager might have many miraculous techniques and could control the large array within a dozen breaths, but his cultivation level was ultimately only at the half-step Earth Realm. This the Array Heart Strange Spirit sensed clearly.

At least the Array Heart Strange Spirit knew, on this Tenglong Continent, no one could destroy that Crystal Throne unless some Holy Rank Third Realm expert appeared, or some sharp weapon of divine artifact class, otherwise they could only sigh in admiration.

This is the Tenglong Continent, where Holy Rank experts are out of the question, and weapons of the artifact class, are exceedingly rare even in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. How could this seemingly impossibly youthful boy possess such divine items?

Just as the Array Heart Strange Spirit was firmly cementing his thoughts, he saw the human boy slowly lift his right arm and then take down a wooden sword that had been resting on his back.

It seemed that he intended to use that wooden sword to destroy the core of the Myriad Illusion Water Cloud Array.

”Absolutely insane!”
