Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2331: Chapter 1068: Lament of the Earth Veins_3

"True Man Situ, what happened?" asked the Heaven Void Ancestor stationed at the formation, frowning.

True Man Situ looked pale, seemingly somewhat incredulous, and finally, as if resigning to fate, slowly said:

"The heavenly secret foretells that in fourteen days, the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Formation will be complete."

"The Master of the Great Wilderness will reappear in the world..."

"The calamity of the Qian Learning State Boundary has arrived..."

Upon hearing this, the entire assembly’s complexion changed.

Then, like a stone thrown into a thousand-layered wave, it stirred a great uproar among the high-ranking officials of Qian Learning.

In the midst of the void’s opening and closing, nearly all Heaven Void Ancestors once again congregated at the Sword Observation Tower.

"Wasn’t the situation temporarily stabilized? The Blood Sacrifice Array is advancing, but the progress isn’t considered fast..."

"Mr. Tu has also been restrained."

"Even if it is completed, it can’t possibly be as short as fourteen days."

"Moreover, how can this date be so precise?"

"Could there be a mistake?"

The Heaven Void Ancestors discussed among themselves.

To this day, True Man Situ still finds it hard to believe, yet he sighs and says:

"This was obtained through the mystical insight enhanced by the Mystic Sky Beidou Seven Star Formation, and it is what it is..."

If there is no interference from other greater forces, then this is fact.

The heavenly secret foretells the blood sacrifice completion, meaning no matter what happens, the Desolate Heaven Blood Sacrifice Array will be complete.

The heavenly secret foretells the reappearance of the Master of the Great Wilderness, which also means, no matter how incredulous, it will become an established fact.

Everything they do will become futile.

They cannot prevent any of this from happening.

As for why the heavenly secret carries such a foretelling, it must be because some people, some events, have already occurred or are about to undergo profound changes.

The powerful cause and effect generated from this are propelling the progress of this matter.

As for what this "cause and effect" is, across the Blood Sacrifice Formation, True Man Situ cannot see through it, nor can he speak of it.

These fourteen days may be a death sentence.

Yet simultaneously, it could also be a "revelation" from Heaven, prompting them to prepare during this period for the upcoming calamity and ominous battles.

Heavenly generosity may not wish to see Qian Learning State Boundary truly ravaged, blood flowing like rivers...

But with this "revelation," what can be done?

All Heaven Void Ancestors present fall into deep thought.

Moments later, Elder Master Xun looks towards True Man Situ and solemnly asks, "Brother Situ, does Mystery Valley have any method of response within its spell points?"

True Man Situ sighs.

At last, it has come to this point...

One cannot escape the death fate foretold by the heavenly secret.

True Man Situ, his expression stern, speaks slowly, word by word:

"The current plan offers only one solution..."

"Find cultivators with strong Divine Thought and have their Primordial Spirits leave the body, breaking into the nightmare during the Evil God’s embryonic stage, forcibly obliterating the Evil God True Embryo upon its birth!"

Upon hearing this, all the ancestors present felt a tightness in their chests.

Even if they aren’t proficient in the Divine Thought pathway, they can comprehend it.

Facing the Evil God is a deadly endeavor.

It’s even possible that after this battle, they won’t be able to distinguish whether they’re dead or alive.

Moreover, it’s not merely about whether they cherish their lives.

The question now is how they can enter the Evil God’s embryonic nightmare upon its birth?

One Heaven Void Ancestor questions True Man Situ.

True Man Situ remains silent for a moment, then says, "Mother and child are connected at heart, entering dreams through the Sea of Consciousness."

"Connected at heart between mother and child?"

"Yes," True Man Situ says, "The Shangguan Family’s child was not abducted without reason, this child carries great cause and effect, destined to be chosen by the Evil God to give birth to the ’Divine Fetus’."

"The nightmare of the Evil God’s birth is also the nightmare of that child from the Shangguan Family."

"And mother and child are connected at heart."

"By activating Mystery Valley’s supreme treasure — Heavenly Dream Lead, using the bloodline as a bridge and the Sea of Consciousness as a beam, one can enter the Evil Fetus’s nightmare through the mother’s dreamland."

"But..." True Man Situ sighs, "this is recorded in ancient Divine Way texts; whether it will be effective is unknown."

One Heaven Void Ancestor frowns, "It’s not that simple."

Entering dreams isn’t easily done.

Using bloodline as a bridge, using the Sea of Consciousness as a beam, entering dreams comes at a cost...

True Man Situ nods, sighing, "Such a method imposes a great burden on the Sea of Consciousness, leading to damage in lighter cases and annihilation of the Divine Soul in severe cases."

"Even if successful, the Sea of Consciousness will have defects, becoming extremely fragile."

"Cultivators practice Tao Cultivation, emphasizing the unity of blood, soul, and spirit. Each walks different paths with various focuses, yet these three are truly indispensable."

"Especially Divine Sense, once damaged, it essentially violates the Law of ’Dao Body Without Defects’."

"Should one enter dreams through this, the Wenren girl... her cultivation may never advance in her lifetime."

Of course, there is an even crueler matter.

If unable to obliterate the Evil God before its birth, they must also kill the child named Shang Guanyu...

Both mother and child must die.

True Man Situ’s conscience is tormented, yet he has no choice but to proceed.

Such is the heavenly secret, such is fate, despairing and helpless.

True Man Situ’s expression is heavy.

One Heaven Void Ancestor sighs, "This matter cannot be solely decided by us. The Shangguan and Wenren families must be informed."

The Shangguan and Wenren are both fifth-grade aristocratic families.

Yu Er is the Shangguan family’s legitimate child.

Wenren Wan, not only the young mistress of the Shangguan family, is also the legitimate daughter of the Wenren Family Head.

This matter cannot be decided lightly.

Soon, a flying sword messenger arrives before the ancestors of the Shangguan and Wenren families.

The Shangguan and Wenren families being fifth-grade aristocratic families, are not tightly bound to the sect; thus, during the sword discussion, the ancestors from both families merely remained secluded in the forbidden grounds and did not attend the ceremony at the Sword Observation Tower.

Upon receiving the letter, the ancestors of both families frowned.

They couldn’t decide easily, and sighed, passing the letters to their respective Family Heads to make their own decisions.

The Shangguan Family Head, Shang Che, and the Wenren Family Head, Wenren Jingxuan, personally consulted with the couple, Wenren Wan and her husband, about the matter.

In a secret room within the Shangguan family.

The atmosphere is somewhat tense.

Wenren Wan, her gentle and exquisite face now pale, uttered but one sentence, "I want to save Yu Er."

Shang Che remained silent.

In Shangguan Yi’s eyes, there is only anguish; between his beloved wife and his uncertain son, no matter how he chooses, the pain is as if his heart is being slashed.

Wenren Jingxuan’s face is ashen.

It’s not that he doesn’t care for Yu Er, after all, Yu Er is his grandson.

But Yu Er’s life and death are uncertain now, whether rescue is possible is hard to say.

He doesn’t want to risk allowing his cherished daughter, raised in his hands since childhood with pampering, to bear such great danger for Yu Er.

Ultimately, even if by sheer luck Yu Er is rescued.

But his only daughter would due to defects in her Sea of Consciousness find her cultivation difficult to improve and her life’s path of Great Dao hopeless.

Even the prospect of death and the dissipation of Dao are possible.

Wenren Jingxuan, as Family Head, accustomed to weighing pros and cons, naturally knows what choice is best.

He can only suppress his discomfort and persuade Wenren Wan:

"For a cultivator, life and cultivation are most important. As for children... you will have more in the future..."

Wenren Wan turns her head, staring blankly at her father, tears streaming down her gentle eyes:

"There may be other children in the future, but my Yu Er... he is the only one..."
