Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1079: Chapter 391: Ji Yuan Breaks the Array, Brothers Finally Reunited!

Subsequently, as it went deeper, the Flying Sword seemed trapped in a quagmire and could not advance.

"Daoist Ji, if you are skilled in formations, you might want to study how to break the array. Sole reliance on brute force could take a very long time."

Seeing that Ji Yuan was also using a Water Magic Flying Sword, Shen Yilan transmitted a message.

... Array.

Ji Yuan’s heart stirred.

That the Ghost Envoy placed this Great Array of Ten-Thousand Ghosts here with various restrictions and rewards, suggests that this array can likely be broken by Core Formation Cultivators.

The array is definitely not a Tier Five Array.

It’s most likely a regular Tier Four Array; otherwise, Core Formation Cultivators would stand no chance.

As for a Tier Four Array... PWoang Divine Eyes can indeed discern the flaws in the formations.

Should it be used, then?

While Ji Yuan pondered, his Flying Sword did not cease its attack.

He collaborated with other cultivators, attacking the array repeatedly with his sword.

Neither the Purple Sky Divine Thunder nor the Yin Corpse Demon Fire was utilized.

But soon he felt that this method of attack was excessively slow; even if it could break through, it would take ages.

... It seems I really need to use it this time.

If it’s not used, I’ve no hope of collecting so many Contribution Points.

Yet employing PWoang Divine Eyes carries inherent danger... Ji Yuan considered briefly and devised a strategy.

He swept his Divine Sense around, confirming a temporary sense of safety, and called with his Heart Thought:

"Ghost Envoy Senior, Ghost Envoy Senior!"

After about a single breath, an aura descended into his consciousness.

"What is it?"

The Ghost Envoy’s voice was cold.

"May I ask, senior, why does Nightmare True Monarch hastily go to the core area?"

"As I have already mentioned, do not meddle in matters that do not concern you!"

After speaking, the aura withdrew abruptly.

Ji Yuan waited for a moment.

Then he called again: "Ghost Envoy Senior, Ghost Envoy Senior."

This time the wait was longer; several breaths passed before the Ghost Envoy’s aura returned, sounding extremely impatient.

"What else do you want?"

Ji Yuan asked again: "How are things going in the core area now?"

"Has Nightmare True Monarch begun fighting with Bone Nightmare Old Demon?"

"... Get out!"

The Ghost Envoy shouted angrily, choosing to leave directly.

Ji Yuan called out once more, but now, no matter how he shouted, the Ghost Envoy ignored him entirely.

... The opportunity has arrived!

Continuously fixated on the array ahead, Ji Yuan activated the PWoang Divine Eyes within himself via his Heart Thought.

Two vertical purple patterns formed on his forehead, and as soon as they appeared, a purple eye emerged from them.

Ji Yuan’s vision transformed.

Above his ordinary line of sight, a foggy gray view appeared.

Leaning on this new vision, he effortlessly discerned three vulnerabilities in the array before him.

Once he grasped these, he quickly retracted the PWoang Divine Eyes back into his body.

He dared not expose them at all.

Having understood the flaws, Ji Yuan did not immediately choose to break the array.

He feared the remaining traces of the PWoang Divine Eyes in the air could be sensed by the Ghost Envoy, drawing attention to this place once the array is breached... which too presents danger.

Hence Ji Yuan waited for nearly half a cup of tea to ensure that the rampant energies masked all traces before finally retreating half a foot, raising both his arms suddenly.

In an instant, before he could act.

Shen Yilan and Ping Banmeng were startled and retreated quickly.

Ji Yuan: "..."

After Shen Yilan moved opposite him, she apologized awkwardly, expressing she meant no malice.

It was merely pure fear.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan could only concede helplessly.

Why should he have such a notorious reputation?

Nonetheless, aiming to maximize benefits, Ji Yuan chose to transmit to the two, saying:

"I have a way to break the array soon. I ask the two Daoist friends to prepare, and once it’s broken... seize Zheng Guichen and Lv Bozhong first, as they surely possess many Contribution Points."

"What? Daoist Ji can break the array?!"

Even Ping Banmeng couldn’t resist transmitting back.

Ji Yuan then stopped responding.

With raised arms, he summoned five Canglan Swords.

As usual, starting with the Giant Que Sword... in repeated confrontations, he discovered the most useful ones were indeed the Thunder Strike Sword and Giant Que Sword.

The others lacked effectiveness.

Just like now, with the Five Swords United, a colossal purple-blue Flying Sword began forming above Ji Yuan’s head.

Upon this display, those aware of his renown swiftly avoided him, not daring to linger for fear of harm.

Those unaware found their companions were fleeing and followed suit.

As for disciples of the Yin Ghost Sect within the array...

"Old Demon Ji is about to unleash his deadly move!"

Upon observing, Zheng Guichen quickly transmitted to Lv Bozhong.

"No worries... he is only at mid-stage Core Formation, and the Ghost Envoy Senior mentioned it would take four peak Core Formation cultivators a full day of concentrated attacks to break through."

Lv Bozhong remained composed, but the fame of a person cast shadows, so he transmitted to disciples from the Black and White Divine Hall within the array:

"Increase Mana input, ensure we hold firm!"

Ji Yuan, of course, couldn’t hear their transmissions. He held the Giant Que Sword, locking his divine sense on the previously spotted flaw before thrusting it forward!

"Boom—"

The Flying Sword pierced the array’s node, and immediately, mana spread along the patterns, damaging the circuits.

This moment saw webs of cracks radiating from the center mark.

Listen closely and one could even hear the sound "crack, crack."

"What?!"

Lv Bozhong and others inside the array were understandably alarmed.

"He... how could he, how is this possible?!"
