Chapter 111 The Great Emperor's Array Patterns, The Quasi-Emperor's Transmission of Techni
"That's right."
This time, a weak voice came after a quarter of an hour, containing only two short words.
"This can't go on forever, let's take a gamble."
The green-haired turtle, panting heavily, rushed towards the sound.
Once the Soul-Devouring Demon spots its prey, it will fight to the death; it simply doesn't want to waste any more time.
"Then take a gamble!"
Li Wudao said in a deep voice, "Things have come to this point, there is no better way."
Soon,
The man and the tortoise turned around and ran wildly into the depths of the black soil.
After traveling for more than ten miles, the atmosphere around us suddenly changed. The air seemed to freeze, and a suffocating sense of oppression came over us.
"This aura... the pressure of an Emperor Realm expert?!"
The green-haired turtle's eyes flashed with a strange light, and it exclaimed in horror, "Could it be that a great emperor has descended from the depths of this black soil?!"
"Ah, the Emperor?!"
Li Wudao was shocked. He had thought it was the influence of the laws of the forbidden zone. No wonder he felt a little short of breath.
Immediately, a thought struck him; the oppressive aura was coming from the same direction...
Could it be that the one just summoned was the supreme emperor?!
However, the boy felt something was strange as soon as he thought of it.
It should be understood that the Emperor Realm represents the pinnacle of combat power on this land, the most powerful beings in the world, capable of traversing even forbidden zones of life with ease.
But that person's voice was so weak it was almost unbearable, and he spoke with a feeble breath, which was far from the supreme emperor of legend.
Confused, the man and the tortoise continued their journey.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding environment became even more eerie.
A thick layer of black fog filled the sky, obscuring the sun, with only occasional streaks of lightning flashing across the horizon, illuminating the dim world with a pale light.
Upon reaching this place, Li Wudao clearly felt the pressure was even stronger. With each step he took, his feet made a "creaking" sound, leaving a footprint on the black soil.
"Oh no, those Soul-Devouring Demons are catching up again!"
Just then, I heard the green-haired turtle's startled cry.
"Damn it, it's like a leech, I can't shake it off!"
Li Wudao turned his head and was terrified.
Ten meters behind them, hundreds of soul-devouring demons, neither human nor ghost, were lurking in the black mist, howling ferociously as they rushed towards them.
After a frantic sprint of fifteen minutes,
A huge crater appeared ahead, and the oppressive force reached its peak, forcing the man and the tortoise to stop.
However, the Soul-Devouring Demons did not pursue them any further. They stood far away, letting out unwilling roars, but dared not advance an inch.
"It's actually safe now?!"
Li Wudao was stunned, then revealed a look of joy at surviving a disaster.
Immediately, he curiously examined the large pit in front of him.
Around the large pit, a ring of unidentified stones floated, all of uniform size and arranged in a special, orderly manner.
"Om-"
Most surprisingly, these stones are covered with mysterious runes, flashing with purple arcs of electricity, interconnected to form a huge electric grid that constantly releases powerful, ripple-like fluctuations.
"What a powerful aura!"
Li Wudao clicked his tongue in amazement and stood far away on the side, not daring to approach.
The mere ripples distorted the space in their path, their oppressive power causing people to turn pale.
"I see......."
Suddenly, the green-haired tortoise's eyes widened, and it exclaimed, "This is a corner of an Emperor's array pattern. No wonder there is the aura of an Emperor emanating from it."
"Hey, there seems to be a person in the middle of that pit. Could it be the one who called us earlier?"
At this moment, Li Wudao narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
"That really is..."
The green-haired turtle stared at it for a long time, then looked on in surprise.
Right in the middle of that corner of the Emperor's array pattern, an old man, frail and aged, sat cross-legged on a protruding rock.
His body was so thin and bony that it was as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
His hair was gray and disheveled, his face was covered with wrinkles like withered tree bark, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, his breath was weak, and he showed no signs of life.
"Little brat, how did you get here with such meager cultivation?"
As the man and the tortoise watched, the old man slowly opened his cloudy eyes and looked at them.
Li Wudao was about to say something
A strange light flashed in the withered old man's eyes, and he smiled wistfully, "So many years have passed, and to see the Pure Yang Holy Body again... is this fate...?"
At this point, the old man's face showed a look of reminiscence, his expression incredibly complex.
After a moment of silence, he continued, "Little child, come closer, I will pass on to you a supreme secret technique."
"Pass on my secret technique?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wudao felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively felt a sense of crisis.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
They've only met once and haven't even exchanged a few words before he's supposedly passing on his martial arts techniques. Where in the world is there such a thing as a free lunch?
Moreover, judging from the current situation, this old man is clearly trapped here by this corner of the Great Emperor's array pattern, and it is hard to say whether he is good or evil.
If he were a wicked person, and he listened to slander and went over there, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Li Wudao instinctively activated the Haotian Eye.
This time, surprisingly, it worked!
[Name: Dugu Baitian]
【Age: 2728】
[Talent: Superior Saint-level]
[Realm Level: Early Quasi-Emperor]
[Special Physique: Azure Sky Overlord Body (Sacred Body)]
[Qi Luck: Mid-grade Saint Level]
[Recent Events: Betrayed by a close friend, trapped in the Emperor's Array for over a thousand years, suffering the torment of the forbidden zone devouring his life force, depressed and on the verge of death]
After reading it, Li Wudao was slightly taken aback.
Judging from the information in the system, the emaciated old man's experience was quite tragic, but he could not be considered a bad person.
"Sir, how did you get trapped here?"
Just to be on the safe side, he decided to double-check and wasn't in a hurry to go forward.
"You're quite cautious, little one..."
Dugu Baitian shook his head and smiled bitterly, then sighed and said in a deep voice, filled with resentment:
"Back then, my closest friend and I entered the Sword Ruins together, and after many hardships, we finally discovered the opportunity to become an emperor. Unexpectedly, we were betrayed and trapped by them..."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Li Wudao nodded secretly. What the old man said did not deviate from what the system displayed, so he should not have lied to him.
"Finally, there is still one thing I don't understand, and I hope the old gentleman can enlighten me."
Li Wudao's gaze was deep and unfathomable. He took a few steps forward and said, "As far as I know, supreme secret techniques are never passed on to outsiders. Why do you want to pass them on to me as soon as we meet?"
Just now, the green-haired turtle quietly told him that the supreme secret technique is a divine power comparable to the Emperor's technique, extremely rare in the world, and of extraordinary significance. It is impossible for it to be passed on to outsiders without a reason.
"Hehe, that's a good question."
Dugu Baitian stroked his white beard, his complex gaze falling on him, and a nostalgic smile appeared on his face as he said:
"Because this supreme secret technique was originally passed down to me by the Pure Yang Holy Body, it is now simply returning it to its rightful owner and continuing the legacy."
These words immediately unsettled both the man and the tortoise.
The fact that the old man before them knew another Pure Yang Saint Body reminded them of their experience on the Blood Plains.
The piece of the Holy Body's hand bone that was dug up from the bottom of the pit was also from the Pure Yang Holy Body. What a coincidence! I wonder if they are from the same person.
