Chapter 656: Chapter 357 Trouble_2
The person opposite nodded and said.
"Didn’t you say there wouldn’t be any problems? How did a simple array maintenance task become so tricky?"
The person who just spoke furrowed his brows slightly, as it involved his Seven Treasures Pavilion.
"It’s not the first time we’ve repaired and maintained it... who knew there would be a problem this time."
The person opposite said.
"Then how do you suggest we handle this?"
The person who just spoke said solemnly.
He knew the origin of the Donglai Immortal Palace and what was inside... it’s just that nothing happened over the years, so why did trouble arise just when it involved the Seven Treasures Pavilion?
"They might only be partially contaminated... however, according to a similar procedure, we must quickly identify the issue and then handle it according to the contamination level."
The person opposite said.
"But quite a few of them are Array Masters of level twenty or above..."
The person who just spoke wore an unpleasant expression.
Following the Immortal Court’s method, the Seven Treasures Pavilion might suffer enormous losses.
"There’s no alternative, you should know the consequences of being contaminated by an Outer God. If the power of the Outer God were to leak, it’s unimaginable what could happen."
The person opposite sighed, "Moreover, you can rest assured that the Immortal Court will compensate you."
"That’s more like it."
The person’s expression finally softened.
Since there will be compensation from the Immortal Court, it won’t be negligible... though he still felt a bit regretful thinking about the array of masters numbered in the tens above level twenty...
.....
Headquarters of the Seven Treasures Pavilion.
Li Qian and other Array Masters remained here.
Originally, some Array Masters wanted to leave but were persuaded by the high-ranking officials of the Seven Treasures Pavilion, saying that the Pavilion was holding an important array exchange meeting.
No one suspected otherwise.
Moreover, the Seven Treasures Pavilion also specially organized an array competition... with Li Qian and over a dozen other level twenty Array Masters serving as judges.
Participants in the array competition were all young Array Masters, and the rewards were quite generous...
When the competition ended, the Array Masters finally sensed something was amiss.
It was that the higher-ups of the Seven Treasures Pavilion did not seem to want them to leave this array Secret Realm.
Actually, Li Qian had noticed something was wrong early on.
If he could, he would be able to leave this Secret Realm at any time via the Chenzhong Cave Heaven.
"Elder Nie, now that the competition is over, we should be able to leave, right?"
A level twenty Array Master said to the chief Array Master Elder Nie.
"I have no idea what kind of tricks the Seven Treasures Pavilion is up to either. Everyone should just remain calm and wait patiently; I believe the Pavilion Master will give us a reasonable explanation."
Elder Nie said.
But he was a level twenty-one Array Master, and with so many level twenty Array Masters present, they were vital to the Seven Treasures Pavilion.
So, he wasn’t too worried.
It was just that being unable to leave this Secret Realm left him a bit perplexed.
Actually, he had a suspicion in his heart, perhaps it was related to the Donglai Immortal Palace.
Upon hearing Elder Nie’s words, everyone let their guard down a little.
Two more days passed before the high-ranking officials of the Seven Treasures Pavilion finally appeared.
"Everyone, please remain calm. The reason for not allowing anyone to leave is due to the decision of the Immortal Court."
The Pavilion Master of the Seven Treasures Pavilion said.
"Pavilion Master, we’ve successfully completed the task, why does the Immortal Court have us confined in this Secret Realm?"
Elder Nie asked gravely.
"Elder Nie, I don’t know the specific reason either. This is Immortal Envoy Ye Yu Golden Immortal sent by the Immortal Court, who will communicate with you all next."
The Pavilion Master of the Seven Treasures Pavilion said.
Then, without waiting for Elder Nie to inquire further, after saluting to a nearby elder with a golden headdress, the Pavilion Master turned and left.
Everyone present was taken aback.
Golden Immortal?
To be called a Golden Immortal, one must surely be an Immortal Golden Immortal.
What kind of matter could have alarmed an Immortal Golden Immortal?
At this moment, the many Array Masters present were all filled with anxiety and apprehension.
Even the level twenty Array Masters had no confidence whatsoever.
Although Array Masters of level twenty and above held a status very high, comparable to a Primordial Dao Master, there was still some disparity when compared to an Immortal Golden Immortal.
Not even Elder Nie of level twenty-one stood a chance.
It’s said that only Array Masters who have reached level twenty-two can really stand on equal footing with an Immortal Golden Immortal.
This is because level twenty-two Array Masters can already create a Lifebound Array Realm, known as Human Array Integration, where an array they have constructed merges with themselves.
Such an Array Master is no longer just an Array Master but possesses strong self-preservation capabilities.
"Greetings, Ye Yu Golden Immortal."
Elder Nie, as an experienced Array Master, promptly cupped his hands in greeting.
Ye Yu Golden Immortal appeared composed and said blandly, "You have come into contact with things you shouldn’t have. Next, I shall perform a Divine Soul exploration on you all..."
"Divine Soul exploration?"
Elder Nie’s complexion changed dramatically.
The Divine Soul is the most core element of an individual, how could it be probed by others?
Moreover, among cultivators, there are various means targeting the control of the Divine Soul.
If the other party did anything, one could face eternal doom with no chance of recovery.
"Ye Yu Golden Immortal, what exactly is this thing we’re not supposed to come into contact with that requires a Divine Soul exploration?"
Elder Nie took a deep breath.
He recalled that during the array task at Donglai Immortal Palace, the Immortal Court suddenly announced a perfect completion. In theory, if there were any anomalies, one would need to ensure everything was thoroughly resolved.
"Cannot say, cannot say..."
Ye Yu Golden Immortal shook his head.
The next moment, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, constructing a powerful Law Domain that enveloped everyone.
It was as if night had fallen, and the clear day turned incredibly dim, while Ye Yu Golden Immortal descended upon the world like the monarch of the night.
An invisible Golden Immortal aura permeated the entire scene, with a terrifying will saturating the space, exerting immense pressure on everyone within the domain.
The many Array Masters and guards present fell into great panic.
After all, the oppressive force of a Golden Immortal was too terrifying.
No one could withstand such pressure.
"First deter the Divine Soul, then perform the Divine Soul exploration...."
Li Qian stood as steady as a mountain, unaffected in any way.
After all, Ye Yu Golden Immortal’s Law World Tree was clearly only at level two, whereas he himself was already at level three.
He was curious to see what Ye Yu Golden Immortal intended to do?
In any case, with his current strength, he had nothing to fear from Ye Yu Golden Immortal.
With many Array Masters paralyzed in fear, one by one they seemed to enter a state of great terror.
Li Qian could sense that Ye Yu Golden Immortal’s will was penetrating into each person’s body.
There was also a force of will trying to seep into his own.
Roar!
At this moment, an Array Master let out a low roar, and his entire being suddenly exuded a black aura, transforming into a terrifying figure filled with intense malice.
"What is this?"
Li Qian looked at the shadow looming over the person’s head in surprise, as he hadn’t noticed anything unusual about the Array Master before.
Of course, it was also due to him not having conducted a real Divine Soul exploration.
This terrifying aura was evidently hidden within the person’s Divine Soul, making it inaccessible to general exploration methods.
Not just this one, but other Array Masters too began to manifest terrifying shadows one after the other, these shadows even started gathering together under stimulation.
"Fortunately, it’s only level one contamination...."
Ye Yu Golden Immortal, seeing this terrifying shadow, instead let out a sigh of relief.
For it was much better than he had imagined.
This makes handling it less troublesome.
However, his gaze fell upon Li Qian.
Because no contamination power was leaking from Li Qian’s body.
Additionally, when his will attempted to penetrate this person, it seemed to encounter significant resistance.
Either this person was concealing his cultivation, or he possessed some sort of special artifact to resist the infiltration of Immortal Consciousness Will.
But he himself was a seasoned Immortal Golden Immortal, having formed a Law Domain.
Resisting his Immortal Consciousness Will’s invasion and pressure wasn’t something an ordinary artifact could do.
As for concealing cultivation?
Unless the other party was an Immortal Golden Immortal, or their Cultivation Realm was similar to his... otherwise, there was no way it would be unaffected.
"Unexpectedly, there is an expert like yourself among the Array Masters of the Seven Treasures Pavilion. How should I address you, fellow Daoist?"
Ye Yu Golden Immortal said rather astonished.
With his Law Domain suppressing that terrifying shadow for now, there was no immediate worry.
Li Qian, being an unknown entity, had to be treated with caution.
Li Qian knew he would inevitably expose his identity; after all, this was no ordinary Immortal Golden Immortal... most importantly, since the other party intended to perform Divine Soul exploration, they would certainly discover his background.
This would bring immense trouble to him.
He should have left via the Chenzhong Cave Heaven earlier.
