Yang Qing paused as he held his chin in contemplation while muttering the nas Tian Lu and Bi Xie. Both were the sa species except one was male and the other was female. The Tian Lu was the male, and the Bi Xie was female, and both were the Pi Xiu race which over ti most dubbed as Bi Xie despite the Bi Xie being the female version of the Pi Xiu.
"Does this an there were two mythical beings in there.." muttered Yang Qing as he resud reading.
"After he broke through the palace realm, the Wang Patriarch spent most of his ti cultivating next to the statues which helped him deepen his understanding of his newfound abilities, and the transformation of his body still continued, as he developed dragon-like scales over his body that were as tough as a middle tier monarch grade defensive artifact.
Though he reduced the amount of ti he spent purifying the site, with his increased strength and abilities, the little ti he did give to it per day he did more than he did when he was in the core formation realm. With his two abilities and his cultivation base as a palace realm cultivator, he gained thousands of kiloters of grounds with just a few hours of work. He absorbed and refined the miasma and other baleful essences in the area to grow his strength and when he reached his body's limit, he would use his cleansing abilities to purge the area, and in less than two years, he had already completely cleansed the site.
From this, even though he never revealed the glory details of what happened in his fight against the crown prince and the rest, I can guess he must have defeated them and quite possibly killed all of them in the process, because if he didn't then there was no way he would have remained in that location, not when the crown prince revealed that the location was very crucial to the plans of the Purgatory black tiger cult.
Maybe it wasn't even him that defeated them and may have been the statues doing which was why he was always so embarrassed whenever he was asked about how the fight went.
After he finished cleansing the area it completely transford from the gloom and doom it was into an area of tranquility and sanctity. He spent two more years consolidating his understanding as he set up a new formation around the area. As it turns out the Wang Patriarch's greatest talents lay in formations. With the cultivation benefits provided by the statues, one of them was increased comprehension and the other was providing a tranquil mind.
With both combinations, the Wang Patriarch ended up having an epiphany which led to the creation of a formation blueprint which he nad the twilight sanctuary array which to date guards the royal palace. I felt its remnant aura when I was invited to the palace a few tis, and just the little fluctuation revealed how profound it was.
It could borrow the force of the sun, the moon, the stars, and the earth to power and strengthen itself without the need to use other materials, just the inscription of the array itself was enough.
When I saw it, I could hardly believe it had been created by soone with no training or guidance on it. That it was all his doing. The Wang Patriarch must have been quite the talent. Though the Twilight Sanctuary array not using secondary and primary materials may be a good thing, I can't help but feel it is sowhat vulnerable as it demands extre perfection on the inscriptions to display its abilities, any flaw, and its power plumts considerably. It requires continual monitoring and care by soone with a deep enough understanding of its structure which may leave one vulnerable whenever that person isn't there.
Luckily the Wang patriarch seed to have thought about it as he left various asures in place to address the issue one of which was creating an entire legacy on the array which had been imbued with his will to ensure the right successor was chosen which sohow ended up being the way the Emperor of the Bi Xie empire was chosen. Those who could completely master the array and gain the approval of their founder would beco the Emperor.
After he created the array, and set it up, it seed like he couldn't carry the two statues with him, which was why he made the array in the first place. After everything was set up, he left for the next grave site. When he left he was already a third-stage palace realm expert and even though he still couldn't face off with the cult leader, and a few of the high elders who were known middle to late-stage palace realm experts, with his abilities that seed to be a natural bane to theirs, he could at least guarantee his life.
He thus made his way to the burial site that was closest to him where he found a few lackeys of the cult standing guard. They were only at the core formation realm, so he made quick work of them, and as for the isolation array covering those sites, discounting his talent in formation arrays, they could hardly keep out soone that was at the palace realm. There was no way the White Mulberry Kingdom would set up 12 blue-grade arrays. It did not have enough resources to expend it that way, not when they were fighting tooth and nail just to survive. And since the sites were the birth child of the traitorous crown prince, of course, he would make them deliberately weak so his true compatriots could monitor the situation inside easily.
Just like he did at the place he called ho for over 30 years, the Wang Patriarch purified and purged the area of its accumulated malevolent energies and corpse miasma. In a few short months, he had completely cleansed the area, and after that, he went back to the statues, cleaned the area around them along with the statues as he used to, cultivated for a month before he made his way to the next burial site.
Just like that, a year went by, and by that ti, he had cleansed 7 burial sites already. It was in that year that he discovered the travesty caused by the war. Countless cities had been ravaged by the war and not a single soul was left alive in them. Corpses littered the streets, along with the deep sentints of dread, and desperation they left behind. Because of the state of those cities, other than burial sites, the Wang Patriarch went about purifying those locations every ti he ca across them.
At one point he had thought that maybe so villages were spared the tragedy, only to find that not one remained standing, with so even having traces of so sacrificial ritual conducted within them. A few more years went by with his increasing workload, of him, purifying each area he ca across on his way to the burial site.
He had once thought of joining the White Mulberry Kingdom and had even gone to the capital which was the center of the thing, however, seeing the scale of the battle being waged there he realized his abilities were too low to participate, but the other reason was at that point only the major families and the royal family were alive. Everyone else was dead, with so more than likely used as fodder by them.
The Wang Patriarch cared very little about what happened to them. They and the cult could destroy each other for all he cared, the best he could do for them was clean the kingdom a corpse at a ti and if in the end, he was strong enough, he would clean both those nobles and the cult. It was the best reprieve he thought to give to the wailing spirits of the dead, who even in their death knew no peace.
The emperor's brother may have not ntioned it explicitly but I think that was the mont the Bi Xie empire was birthed.
