Upon reaching the array location, it posed no obstacle for him. He extended his Divine Sense, examining the surroundings on the left, right, and below.
There really wasn’t any attack; it just seed concealed.
Why was this? This Concealing Array isn’t sothing an ordinary person with basic cultivation could achieve. Could it be related to the continent’s curse?
Thinking of this, Tan Shaoting didn’t dare to make any large moves. This Lapis Lazuli was indeed precious, but if it concerned the safety of the entire continent, he wouldn’t destroy it.
So he just chopped so from the side, which wouldn’t affect the Concealing Array.
This could also appease that little mouse.
The three children anxiously waited inside the array. It wasn’t just their father who worried about them; they too worried about their father.
When Tan Shaoting ca up, the three children excitedly gathered around him.
"Dad."
"Don’t worry, everything’s fine. Qi Wen, this is Lapis Lazuli. There is indeed so, but it’s protected by the array, so I couldn’t get much, just this portion."
He couldn’t tell the little mouse the truth, as there is an essential difference between demon beasts and cultivators. Human cultivators may be selfish, but they have a sense of the bigger picture, whereas demon beasts may not.
Xiao Huei had already slled the scent of Lapis Lazuli, and its small eyes eagerly watched the storage bag in its master’s hand.
Qi Wen smiled, opening the storage bag, and poured out the Lapis Lazuli. Wow, there’s quite a lot.
Xiao Huei jumped on top of it in a flash. The four of them could clearly see satisfaction on its furry face.
Qi Wen quickly put away the Lapis Lazuli, leaving the still-excited Xiao Huei dumbfounded, then throwing a tantrum on the ground like a child.
Qi Wen ignored it, packed up the storage bag, "Dad, let’s get out of here."
Tan Shaoting shook his head, "Let’s find a place nearby. I’ll cook for you."
The children had been making do for a while now. Today, with ti on our side, it’s better to cook sothing tasty for them.
Although what he considered tasty was just spirit rice and so stir-fried spirit vegetables, in Tan Shaoting’s heart, it’s considered good.
Father and sons joyfully enjoyed their al before leaving the forest.
Tan Shaoting, used to being cautious, carefully guarded every step.
Now that Xiao Huei had the Lapis Lazuli, it was no longer as troubleso as before. Qi Wen threw a small piece into the Spirit Beast Bag, and Xiao Huei behaved.
They were not far from the barrier now, a place where after demon beasts damaged the demon realm barrier, several array masters worked together to create, to protect mortals.
"Dad, should we inspect the barrier?"
"We might as well take a look here. We’re not in any hurry, and if we encounter any demon beasts, we’ll deal with them here."
If it were the Tan Shaoting of his first life, he definitely wouldn’t have had this broader view. Living two lives in the mortal world, bound by rules, and being an enforcer in this life, he had changed a lot.
A Sound Transmission Talisman flew to Tan Shaoting, and opening it revealed that fellow disciples were trapped, urging those nearby to provide support.
The father and sons identified their location and quickly rushed over.
From a distance, Tan Shaoting noticed with his Divine Sense a Sixth-rank Demon Beast here. This was a tough situation because the Sixth-rank Demon Beast was very difficult to handle, and once it passed the Heavenly Tribulation, it would beco Seventh Rank.
"The three of you must be careful. There’s a Sixth-rank Peacock."
Taking the children in was unrealistic now, so he could only advise them to be careful.
If things really got bad, he would have to use the Array Plate to conceal them and let them enter the space.
As they approached, they joined the battle.
While dealing with Fourth-tier Demon Beasts outside, they worked together. Using talismans here was also not problematic.
This made Tan Shaoting feel slightly more at ease.
A Fifth-rank Black Bear charged at Tan Shaoting. It was of the earth elent, very sturdy, and incredibly strong.
After all, this was Fifth Rank, and it wasn’t easy for Tan Shaoting to deal with. Until he was sent flying three tis, Tan Shaoting changed his swordsmanship.
This was a strategy his master had developed in his previous life and proved to be very effective.
But the disparity in strength was too great, and killing the Black Bear wasn’t easy.
Eventually, Tan Shaoting used a talisman to distract it, piercing through its heart, and the Fifth-rank Black Bear finally died.
This ti, Tan Shaoting was indeed quite injured, but in the end, he triumphed.
The children were surrounded by five Fourth-tier Demon Beasts, and he rushed over to assist, quickly taking down the five beasts.
He released the array, and the father and sons entered.
"Do you want to enter the space or continue?"
"Dad, we’ll continue, and only retreat if necessary."
Tan Shaoting feared the high-level demon beasts might notice the children.
Human cultivators could advance by consuming demon beasts’ blood and flesh, and similarly, demon beasts could advance by consuming human blood and flesh.
Especially cultivators with Single Spirit Roots, they are even more enticing to demon beasts.
"Go out once more, and then you must enter the space."
This battle lasted quite a while. Tan Shaoting continued dealing with the Fifth-rank Fla Wolf.
This creature was exceptionally ferocious, and it was unclear why it was behaving so wildly.
After managing to handle it, he hurriedly reentered the array, seeing his wounded children sitting on the ground, saying nothing, directly taking them in.
He didn’t enter the space himself but sat on the ground, drinking Spiritual Spring Water to recover using Spirit Stones.
The array, although under attack, wouldn’t face imdiate danger.
He needed to restore his physical and Spiritual Power before finding a way out.
Coming out of the array once more, right in front was a Fla Wolf. Its level was even higher than the previous one.
Is this a family? After killing one, is this one here for revenge?
There was no ti to think about these things now, instantly taking action.
Having learned the Fla Wolf’s weakness from the previous fight, this one’s higher level ant the battle lasted less ti.
Endlessly waving the sword in his hand, Tan Shaoting felt as though, given ti to cultivate peacefully, he could reach Great Perfection very soon.
But now wasn’t the ti for upgrading; it was better to kill more demon beasts.
The Sixth-rank Peacock had already noticed Tan Shaoting. It had remained idle, maintaining pressure from above.
The three children had attracted its attention, but now that they were gone, only this human seed capable, so it raised its wing, sending a vine.
The late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator pressing the array noticed it was too late.
Tan Shaoting awkwardly dodged. The demon beast he had just fought continued to pursue, and they resud their battle.
Honestly, the late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator’s golden arrow fired at the Peacock was easily dodged.
The Peacock hadn’t expected its vine to be dodged by so tiny ants, which was a great loss of face.
