Looking back at Mu Xueyao, from the mont Ji Yuan began the array formation, her deanor had already started to change.
Her previously relaxed and flamboyant expression imdiately beca extrely steady, and traces of golden light could be seen flowing in her eyes as she used her Divine Sense to investigate this array.
Yet the more she looked, the deeper her brow furrowed.
Because in her Divine Sense perception, the aura of this array was extrely chaotic, making it impossible to grasp any patterns.
"Alright, since the array is set, please Miss Mu, enter the array."
Ji Yuan, transford into Escape Light, returned to Mu Xueyao’s side.
The latter was eager to try, "Rember, once I surrender, Brother Ji, you must let out."
"Of course."
After Ji Yuan finished speaking, Mu Xueyao entered the Inverted Dipper Array.
The array has seven layers, each layer of its own challenge.
Included within are many techniques, such as Illusion Arrays, Killing Arrays, and more.
The first array Mu Xueyao encountered upon entering was the Tian Shu Killing Array.
It seed like endless sword lights, but enduring all these sword lights ant access to the second layer.
Mu Xueyao did just that.
Although Ji Yuan had seen Mu Xueyao’s Lifebound Magical Treasure before, it was his first ti witnessing its full display.
Her Lifebound Magical Treasure... is quite extraordinary!
Ji Yuan even wondered what fortuitous encounter she had obtained.
The treasure is nad "Thousand Blades Congregation Futu," also known as "Thousand Blades Slaughter" or "Futu Blade."
A silver-white short blade roughly a foot and a half long, ancient in design, with waves of cold light flowing along its blade. On closer inspection, countless tiny golden starlight dots flicker within the blade.
But once activated, the Thousand Blades Slaughter can transform into thousands of thin razor-sharp fragnts, like a golden storm, shredding enemies.
When assembled, it can form various shapes, like a giant sword, a shield, a cage, etc.
Ji Yuan thought that this Lifebound Magical Treasure alone was enough for Mu Xueyao to dominate the early-stage Core Formation.
"No wonder she managed to escape alive when surrounded by those three mid-stage Core Formation Demon Cultivators."
Ji Yuan watched as Mu Xueyao continually activated the Thousand Blades Slaughter, and soon enough, she broke through the first Tian Shu Killing Array.
Ji Yuan then knew that Mu Xueyao was done.
What is the Inverted Dipper Array, you ask?
If it were a normal Dipper Array, indeed, it would require breaking through layer by layer, and opening the seventh layer would allow one to exit smoothly.
But in the Inverted Dipper Array... the array hub, is actually located in the first layer. Once the first layer is broken into the second, you’ve sealed your fate.
The only path for her is to fall ever deeper, unless she can unleash great ans to violently break the array.
Otherwise, it is a path of no return.
Sure enough, after breaking through to the third layer, Mu Xueyao declared her surrender due to mana exhaustion.
Of course, this didn’t an she could only reach the third layer.
She arrived here rely using conventional ans, without employing any Secret Techniques or trump cards.
Not to ntion the thousand-year-old Spirit Milk which rapidly restores mana; she hadn’t even used it. The goal was rely to test the power of the array. Using such resources would be too costly.
"Brother Ji, what kind of array is this? Why is its power so great? Once inside, I had no chance to resist; I only reached the third layer..."
Narrowing her eyes at Ji Yuan upon erging from the array in Escape Light, Mu Xueyao’s chest subtly heaved.
"How do you find its effects?"
Ji Yuan queried while observing the still-active array.
"It’s very powerful!"
Mu Xueyao affird, "Entering in the early-stage Core Formation, unless one is exceedingly adept in arrays, it’s almost impossible to exit. As for mid-stage Core Formation... I think there’s a chance to reach the seventh layer, maybe even break through and get out."
...If it were a Tier Three Dipper Array, then indeed it would be so.
Unfortunately, mine is the Inverted Dipper Array.
Ji Yuan slightly nodded, "I think so too."
However, in Ji Yuan’s mind erged a figure, and he wondered if Second Senior Brother was here, whether he could break free.
On careful consideration, Ji Yuan felt that he wouldn’t break it the first ti, choosing instead to force it like Mu Xueyao, ending up trapped in the Inverted Dipper Array.
But if given a second chance, he should perceive the problem.
Yet noticing the problem is one thing; escaping is quite another.
"Alright, the array experint is complete; let’s leave now."
After finishing, Ji Yuan turned to Mu Xueyao, who gazed at him with grievance, feeling sowhat apologetic, and so he suggested, "Let’s go back and roam the city, then return to secluded cultivation."
Just right, Ji Yuan also planned to check out so major markets.
To see if he could find other Immortal Talents suitable for forging into the Lifebound Flying Sword.
Encountering Immortal Material would be fine too... Here, Immortal Material specifically denotes the body of a Cultivator. From his experience at the Chaotic Burial Mound, Ji Yuan deeply understood its utility, and if he could level up and cultivate the "Hellfire of Spirits," how terrifying would that be?
"Great!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xueyao felt the trip wasn’t a waste.
Thus, over the next ten days, Mu Xueyao accompanied Ji Yuan around several major markets in the city.
Although they didn’t find materials for Sword Refining, they did gain a piece of information.
Two months from now, a small Core Formation Exchange Conference will be held in West Border City.
Ji Yuan and Mu Xueyao quickly employed their connections to secure a venue and tickets.
"Core Formation Exchange Conference... it’s my first ti participating, likely to have a lot of good things."
