Chapter 1232 - Chapter 1232 Chapter 1234 Jade Liquid Wine

Chapter 1232: Chapter 1234: Jade Liquid Wine Chapter 1232: Chapter 1234: Jade Liquid Wine Song Jian’s decryption continued, he was reckless, directly perceiving each constituent array within the Wine Lake Array, without caring about the connections between the arrays, merely attempting to break each individual array.

With each attempt, he almost inevitably triggered a counterattack from the Wine Lake Array, the roaring never ceased, and the banks of the Wine Lake were trampled into a swamp, where it was simply impossible to stand.

All the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect who wanted to perceive the Wine Lake Array gaped from a distance at Song Jian, watching him trigger a counterattack from the Wine Lake Array every few minutes; however, with each counterattack, Song Jian always emerged unscathed, without the slightest harm.

“This, this…”

“How, how does he do it? How can he be so powerful!”

“Although his method of solving the array seems somewhat despicable, the fact that he can withstand so many array counterattacks and still remain unharmed indeed shows skill…”

The disciples who originally scorned Song Jian slowly developed a sense of admiration in their hearts for the constantly “courting death” Song Jian. Putting aside his level of array prowess, this guy’s survival skills were clearly far superior to everyone else’s, which was truly awe-inspiring.

By repeatedly dodging into the Shattered Divine Realm with each triggered counterattack, Song Jian managed to decipher five or six arrays in succession, bringing the proficiency of his “Sword Array Atlas” skill back to full once again.

When the proficiency of the Sword Array Atlas reached its maximum, Song Jian sat down cross-legged to absorb Purple Crystals and level up. This time, he used more than eighty Purple Crystals before he increased his level by one, reaching level sixty-four. He allocated the newly acquired skill points once again into the Sword Array Atlas, raising the skill to level three.

The advancement of the skill made Song Jian’s perception of the Wine Lake Array even more clear, improving the accuracy of his selection of vital array points, and speeding up the decryption process.

In just two days, Song Jian had decrypted all the arrays in the Wine Lake Array. The details of more than ten arrays were all clear in his mind. Although there were still some aspects he hadn’t fully grasped about how they combined to form the entire Wine Lake Array, for Song Jian, it was only a matter of time.

The proficiency of the Sword Array Atlas skill had once again reached 98%. It wouldn’t be long before he progressed further. Song Jian had several hundred Purple Crystals in his inventory, all obtained from slaying monsters in the Dark Prison. The monsters there could drop Purple Crystals, which made Song Jian wish more than once that he could encounter a similar dungeon again.

Just as Song Jian was preparing to make a final push to completely decipher the Wine Lake Array, the Imperial Sword Sect disciple named Gui Chuan appeared beside him without knowing when.

“This junior brother, I greet you with respect!” Gui Chuan said with a smile packed on his face, very politely bowing to Song Jian.

“Senior Gui Chuan, I return your respectful greeting!” Song Jian replied with a smile and courteously bowed back.

“Junior brother must be the Song Jian who gained huge contributions in the sect and was taken as a direct disciple by the Sect Leader, truly a young talent!” Gui Chuan complimented, “But unexpectedly, your mastery of array is also so profound. Junior brother, it seems you have already deciphered most of this great Wine Lake Array, and you’ll soon complete it, won’t you?”

“Senior Brother is too kind!” Song Jian was somewhat surprised that, having only joined the Imperial Sword Sect a few days ago, his fame had already grown so large.

“If there’s anything you need, Senior Brother, just say it outright. If I can do it, I will not shy away!” said Song Jian with a smile, already guessing the purpose of Gui Chuan’s visit, but still needing Gui Chuan to state it outright.

“Haha, Junior Brother is so straightforward. Since that’s the case, I can only brazenly make a request. Junior Brother, if you really crack the Wine Lake Array and obtain the Jade Liquid Wine, could you spare some for me, so I can fulfill my duties?” Gui Chuan asked cautiously.

Gui Chuan felt uneasy in his heart. He wasn’t familiar with Song Jian, and he had even joined other disciples in mocking him before. Now coming here, he was merely trying his luck, and was already prepared to be mocked by Song Jian. The Wine Lake Array was unpredictable, consisting of more than a dozen interlocking arrays, one trapping the next. A single misstep could trigger the array’s counterattack, and he didn’t possess Song Jian’s methods to emerge unscathed after each counterattack.

After pondering for two days, Gui Chuan finally decided to give it a try, uncertain if Song Jian would agree.

“Senior Brother, could you please tell me in detail what use there is for this Jade Liquid Wine from the Wine Lake?” asked Song Jian with a smile.

In truth, as long as he cracked the Wine Lake Array, he would have the chance to obtain a share of Jade Liquid Wine. At that time, he would naturally know its properties. So many disciples had come to comprehend and break this array, indicating the wine’s extreme rarity. However, getting some advance information wouldn’t do any harm.

Seeing that Song Jian did not immediately refuse, Gui Chuan felt a glimmer of hope and quickly explained, “Junior Brother may not know, but this Wine Lake Array is quite famous in the entire secret realm. At the center of the Wine Lake, the Jade Liquid Wine is cultivated, and it’s even hailed as ‘the king of thousands of wines, rich and mellow’. For those who drink it, it offers the benefits of prolonging life and enhancing strength. However, these are just incidental effects. Its taste is such that anyone who has tried it once will never forget it! The seniors at the peak specifically instructed me to obtain a share of Jade Liquid Wine, or else…” Gui Chuan showed a wry smile on his face.

Song Jian didn’t speak, just nodded slightly, and Gui Chuan’s face lit up with a pleasant surprised smile, continuously bowing in thanks.

Moments later, the entire Wine Lake Array suddenly emitted a “rumbling” sound. A huge whirlpool appeared at the center of the Wine Lake. Seeing this whirlpool, Gui Chuan’s face showed an excited expression, and he laughed heartily.

The Wine Lake had been in the secret realm for who knows how long. Since the first person obtained a share of Jade Liquid Wine from the lake, many had attempted to break the array. But after each solution, the array within the lake would change on its own, meaning that every time one entered the secret realm, if the Wine Lake Array had been cracked before, they’d face a brand-new Wine Lake Array and would have to start from scratch.

The sign that the Wine Lake Array was successfully broken was the emergence of the huge whirlpool at the center of the lake. Once the whirlpool appeared, it meant that the Wine Lake Array was cracked, and the array would change again.

Everyone watched as a stone platform rose up in the center of the whirlpool. At the top of the platform was a recessed pit, filled with clear, transparent liquid, emitting a thick fragrance of wine. Even from a distance, people were intoxicated by the rich aroma, with some even showing red cheeks and staggering steps, seemingly close to drunkenness just from the scent.

“Junior Brother, quick, get a container to hold the liquid, preferably a jade one, so it can preserve the Jade Liquid Wine for a longer time!” Gui Chuan called out anxiously from the side.

Just then, the pool of liquid in the middle of the stone platform, as if being pulled by an invisible force, traced an arc through the air, flying towards Song Jian.
