Chronicles of the Green Vine: A Mortal’s Path to Immortality

Chapter 118: Liujia Enchantment

“Forbidden Array” While listening to this person's explanation, Zhang Ling grasped the information in his words. “Forbidden Array” is a special case among arrays. The so-called “Forbidden Array” refers to some mountain-protecting arrays of large sects and families. This type of array differs from ordinary arrays with their singular effects; it is a complex array formed by merging different arrays. There are arrays within arrays, interlocked with each other, including not only illusion arrays, but also trapping arrays, and killing arrays. The power unleashed is naturally considerable. However, logically speaking, forbidden arrays, being such powerful restrictive arrays, are typically large-scale arrays, often covering a significant area. For example, the Four Symbols Four Directions Array of White Jade Mountain covers the entire White Jade Mountain. And the mountain-protecting array of Haoyuan Sect covers more than a dozen spiritual vein peaks. Without a formation master who is proficient in this array, spending a year or so of hard work, or even using powerful means to move mountains and fill seas to change the terrain to suit the formation, and spending a lot of manpower and material resources, it is impossible to set it up. And these types of arrays are too large, once set up, they will not be moved, unless they suffer a calamity that wipes out the entire sect. Not to mention, refining this strange array into easily portable array instruments like array disks and array flags. “As far as I know, forbidden arrays are all extremely large. Is this array also of this type?” Zhang Ling couldn't help but ask.

“Haha, what fellow cultivator says is correct, forbidden arrays are extremely large, but after so many years of research by my Bai family, there are talented individuals who have specifically spent time simplifying this type of array, so that they can refine these array disks and array flags.” “This Six Jia Soul- বিভ্রান্তing Array is a simplified set researched by my Bai family. Although its power is not as great as the original forbidden grand array, it can still exert 10% of its power. In addition, due to material issues, the coverage of this array is only a little over one mile.” “However, the effect of this array is not weak at all. Foundation Establishment cultivators trapped within it basically cannot escape. Even Golden Core stage cultivators can be trapped for a moment.” Zhang Ling's eyes flashed upon hearing this, and his heart stirred. To be able to trap a Golden Core cultivator for a moment. Regardless of whether this person is telling the truth or not, the previous two sets of arrays were not ordinary goods either. The fact that this Six Jia Soul- বিভ্রান্তing Array has some connection with forbidden arrays suggests that even if its power is not as strong as this person claims, it is sufficient for him. After all, his cave is not large, and forbidden arrays are very famous, so he believes that even if it only exerts a bit of power, it will be enough to protect his extremely crude cave. Seeing his interest in this Six Jia Soul- বিভ্রান্তing Array, Bai Yufeng kept explaining the power of this array to him. At the same time, he activated this array. He took the six-cornered array disk, and after a few flashes of spiritual light, a series of small black flags gathered on the six-cornered array disk with a flash of spiritual light. The small black flags were only palm-sized. Zhang Ling counted slightly, and there were as many as thirty-six flags. The small flags floated on top, forming a circle and moving automatically without wind. After a few breaths, they emitted spiritual light of different colors. These array flags trembled and shot out in all directions. Instantly, a layer of gray mist rose in the room where they were. As soon as this mist appeared, Zhang Ling felt that his divine sense was suppressed a lot. This startled him, but then this feeling disappeared. The gray mist also disappeared at the same time, and the room returned to its original appearance. What shocked him even more was that Bai Yufeng and the red-skirted youth who were next to him had disappeared. He quickly scanned the surroundings with his divine sense fully opened, and then he found that the two had not moved and were still standing in their original positions. It was just that they could not be observed with the naked eye. “What does fellow cultivator think? This is only part of the power of this array that I have activated. I have used some confusing power. This place is small, if I activate all the power, this place might be…” Bai Yufeng did not finish his words, but the meaning was clear. Zhang Ling hesitated for a moment after hearing this before speaking. “I want this array. Fellow cultivator Bai, name a price.” “Haha, fellow cultivator can see this array, I will definitely not let you down. As for the price…”

…… An hour later, Zhang Ling left Baiyu Tower. Without the slightest hesitation, he walked towards the outside of the market. As soon as he left the no-fly zone of Baiyun(白云: white cloud) Market, Zhang Ling raised his hand and directly released a yellow leaf. He injected spiritual power into it, and after a while, it turned into a huge yellow leaf. His body swayed gently, and he stood on the leaf. Then, with a flash of yellow light, both he and the leaf disappeared at the same time, appearing in the sky more than ten zhang(丈: zhang, a unit of length) above the ground. He injected spiritual power from his feet into the leaf, and suddenly the leaf shone with yellow light, turning into a ray of spiritual light and flying out. Its speed was so fast that it instantly flew dozens of zhang(丈: zhang, a unit of length) away. The yellow light flickered a few times and disappeared. This was the speed at which he fully exerted this top-grade flying magic tool. At this speed, he could return toHaoyuan Sect in two or three days. He planned to fly directly back toHaoyuan Sect by fully activating this treasure. Although his spiritual power would be consumed quickly, he could occasionally swallow some pills to restore his spiritual power, and with a middle-grade earth-attributed spiritual stone in his hand, the consumption of spiritual power could be reduced a lot. The reason why he was eager to return to the sect was naturally because he did not want to stay in Baiyun(白云: white cloud) Market any longer. This was because he spent three second-grade rare spiritual herbs and a half-zhang(丈: zhang, a unit of length)-long piece of ghost willow wood material to exchange for the Six Jia Soul- বিভ্রান্তing Array. Although these things were not many, each of them was very valuable, especially the ghost willow wood, a third-grade yin spirit wood. The combined value had exceeded 30,000 spiritual stones. For Foundation Establishment cultivators, few people could take out so many spiritual stones. Generally, Foundation Establishment cultivators only had around 10,000 spiritual stones in their entire net worth. Some rogue cultivators who were lucky enough to enter the Foundation Establishment stage might not even have a top-grade magic tool. And the value of the things he took out was enough to make people envious. Thinking of Bai Yufeng's expression when he saw the ghost willow wood, he had to be careful. Especially in Baiyun(白云: white cloud) Market, which was completely controlled by the Bai family, and he was entering and leaving a place like Baiyu(白玉: white jade) Tower. With such a worried mood, Zhang Ling flew wildly all the way. What he didn't know was that his series of abnormal actions had invisibly resolved a crisis. As soon as he left Baiyun(白云: white cloud) Market, two black-robed cultivators with covered faces chased after him. The spiritual power fluctuations emanating from them were strong. Both were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and one of them was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. The two chased for a whole day before losing track of him. …… On the noon of the third day, Zhang Ling finally flew near theHaoyang Mountain Range whereHaoyuan Sect was located. At this moment, his face was a little pale, but there was no danger along the way, which made him feel more at ease. He changed to the flying boat magic tool given by the sect and slowly flew towards his cave. After returning to the cave, Zhang Ling stayed in the quiet room for most of the day to recover his consumed spiritual power. Afterwards, he took out a cyan jade slip and immersed his mind in it, carefully studying the contents. This was the arrangement method and tricks of the Six Jia Soul- বিভ্রান্তing Array. After studying for several hours, he understood the uses of the array disk and array flags. Then, without hesitation, he took out the array disk and battle flag of this array, and according to some specific orientations, inserted the array flags around the cave and buried them underground. Afterwards, he took out a few middle-grade spiritual stones and arranged them in the center of the cave in the shape of a small magic array as required. Then, he placed the six-cornered array disk in it to form the eye of the array. At this point, the array was set up. This array is powerful and requires middle-grade spiritual stones to activate its full power. Fortunately, guarding the cave does not require activating its full power. But consuming a few middle-grade spiritual stones at once also made people feel heartache. Middle-grade spiritual stones are different from low-grade spiritual stones.

Although one hundred low-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one middle-grade spiritual stone, no cultivator would do this. The spiritual power contained in middle-grade spiritual stones is huge. It can not only assist in cultivation, but also has irreplaceable uses in arranging arrays and other purposes. As for high-grade spiritual stones, they are not something that Foundation Establishment cultivators can obtain. Even high-level cultivators above the Golden Core stage would use one or two as special treasures and would not waste them. After setting up the Six Jia Soul- বিভ্রান্তing Array, Zhang Ling tried the operation of the great array. Although the specific power was not tested. But just by virtue of the fact that the area within one mile of the cave was completely covered by it, and there was no abnormality from the outside, he felt that it was worth the money. Only then did Zhang Ling feel at ease and return to the quiet room of the cave to start considering his cultivation problems. ……
