Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Four-Element Extending Realm Array

What kind of energy is this?

"How odd!" Sun Wukong scratched his head, having never seen it before.

Through the wall, he could faintly sense that this was a very primitive energy, different from the existing spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Even without having seen it before, he could distinguish the purpose of this energy.

Having grasped the laws of formations and approaching the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, he saw at a glance that these inexplicable, intangible energies were spreading to various parts of the Heavenly Court along the spiritual veins beneath the peach orchard, constructing an unknown great formation.

"Hmm, the power is no less than that of an eighth-level formation," Sun Wukong’s animated eyes sparkled with divine light as he judged the power of the formation, while a prompt sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations! You have completed the suggestion—Investigate the purpose of Princess Wan Sheng in the Heavenly Court and obtained a fifth-tier treasure chest]

This was a suggestion from a Zhizhu netizen after he heard Ao Lie talk about his and Princess Wan Sheng’s affair; the netizen had warned that Princess Wan Sheng might be a pawn planted in the Heavenly Court by the demon cult.

He had been keeping an eye on this matter, and now he had finally made it clear.

From the very beginning, Princess Wan Sheng got close to Ao Lie and later took an active part in the reconstruction of the peach orchard in order to have the chance to lay down this formation.

One can imagine that even if the peach orchard hadn’t been destroyed, she would have found other opportunities.

Having figured this out, Sun Wukong was beset by a new doubt.

How did Princess Wan Sheng have the strength to set up such a formation?

After pondering for a while, he turned his gaze back to the spiritual veins, realizing that to solve this doubt, he needed to understand exactly what kind of formation this was.

"It seems I need to consult the Grandmaster," Sun Wukong scratched his head again. In the entire Heavenly Court, aside from himself, only the Grandmaster was proficient in the laws of Formation.

Of course, he had to be prepared for anything, not only consulting the Grandmaster but also seeking advice from the senior netizens of Zhizhu.

Afterward, he left the peach orchard quietly and headed to the Palace of Universal Happiness, not forgetting to open the treasure chest he had just received.

[You have opened a fifth-tier treasure chest. Congratulations! You have obtained Four-Element Extending Realm Array (ninth-level), True Dragon Soul Blood (one drop), Roc Soul Blood (one drop), Four Unlikes Soul Blood (one drop)]

"Hehe, amazing, amazing!" Sun Wukong was very happy, just as he was about to seek advice, the treasure chest produced relevant rewards.

He quickly looked through the memories that had appeared in his mind and soon understood what kind of formation it was.

The Four-Element Extending Realm Array, with the Ancestral Dragon’s blood, Ancestral Phoenix’s blood, and the Qilin’s blood as the conduit, could draw upon the energies of earth, fire, water, and wind from the void, and thereby devour the spiritual energy of the heavens.

If the array reaches its extreme, it can create a primordial space world.

"Impressive!" Sun Wukong couldn’t help but praise.

The power of an eighth-level formation is comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint, like the Nine-Bends Yellow River Formation, Mixed Yuan Five Elements Great Formation, and the other formations he had previously obtained from treasure chests, such as the Eight Extremes Soul Extinguishing Formation and Ten Directions Sealing Formation. These formations are capable of posing a threat to the life of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Ninth-level formations are even more dangerous, such as the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, Heavenly Deity Slaughter Great Formation, Zhou Heaven Constellations Great Formation; when these formations are active, even Saints dare not enter them rashly.

And now, he had obtained a ninth-level formation from the treasure chest, and its power was indeed formidable!

With his mastery over formations, he could see that the power of the Four-Element Extending Realm Array did not stem from the Innate three beasts’ ancestral blood but from the energies of earth, fire, water, and wind they summoned.

Of course, the strength of a formation’s power also depends on the array’s eye and the foundation, as well as the source of the formation’s energy.

From the other rewards he had obtained from the chest, it was apparent that Princess Wan Sheng had used True Dragon Soul Blood, Roc Soul Blood, and Four Unlikes Soul Blood to lay down the formation.

The True Dragon bloodline is passed down from the Ancient Dragon Emperor, who is the son of the Ancestral Dragon.

Last time at the Dragon Transformation Meeting, Princess Wansheng also obtained some true dragon bloodline—three pieces of true dragon scales. So, it’s not surprising that she has true dragon soul blood.

"Dapeng? Could it possibly be the Golden-winged Dapeng?" Sun Wukong pondered.

Previously, an online friend had spoken about the Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe, mentioning after the fall of Yuan Feng, there were two offspring left behind, one being Kong Xuan and the other, the Golden-winged Dapeng.

Therefore, the Dapeng soul blood should indeed be inherited from Yuan Feng.

The final Si Buxiang is clearly a descendant of the original Qilin.

Sun Wukong didn’t know much about it, but he was sure that the Four-Element Extending Realm Array, set by the soul blood of the descendants of the three divine beasts, could only summon a limited amount of earth, fire, water, and wind energy, so its power was at most Level 8.

That brings up a new question—what exactly is this existence of earth, fire, water, and wind energy that it could use the array to carve out a primitive spatial world?

"Hmm..." Sun Wukong stared at the invisible energy in the spiritual vein before him, scratching his face thoughtfully.

Individually, earth, fire, water, and wind are not uncommon; they can be found anywhere.

But when combined, they signify an extremely primitive energy.

Sun Wukong had many guesses in his mind; he opened the Persuasion System and connected his consciousness to Zhihu, posting a question.

"I am Sun Wukong. I’ve just clarified Princess Wansheng’s purpose in the Heavenly Court. She used the spiritual vein beneath the Peach Garden to lay down a great array that could mobilize the energy of earth, fire, water, and wind. May I ask the seniors here what earth, fire, water, and wind energy is?"

At the same time, he also attached a rough explanation of the Four-Element Extending Realm Array, along with speculations about the three types of soul blood, to his question.

Soon enough, netizens replied.

Kitchen Kitten: "That doesn’t seem right. How could Princess Wansheng, so weak, lay down such a powerful array?"

Call Me Daddy: "The key to this array doesn’t seem to lie in the strength of the person who set it up, but rather in the ancestral blood of the three divine beasts required by the array.

Didn’t the author say so? Princess Wansheng used true dragon soul blood, Dapeng soul blood, and Si Buxiang soul blood as substitutes for the ancestral blood of the three divine beasts, so the array’s power is much weaker."

Luo Moumou of 180 Degrees: "It seems I was right before, Princess Wansheng really is a pawn planted in the Heavenly Court by the demonic cult.

But one question remains, the true dragon soul blood was taken from Princess Wansheng herself, and the Dapeng soul blood is easy to explain since the Golden-winged Dapeng isn’t exactly a good bird—it’s not strange for it to secretly cooperate with the demonic cult.

As for the Si Buxiang soul blood, where did the demonic cult get it from?

According to the tales from the Vast Wilderness, Si Buxiang is a son of the original Qilin, once the mount of Yuan Shi Tianzun, later given to Jiang Ziya for his use.

Such a divine beast surely wouldn’t also flirt with the demonic cult and give away its soul blood, right?"

Lone Nine the Wandering Cat: "There are two possibilities. Either Si Buxiang actually conspired with the demonic cult, or a disciple of the Chan Teaching collaborated with the demonic cult."

"Chan Teaching disciple?" Sun Wukong saw this reply, and suddenly he remembered someone—Bai He the Crane Boy!

After the last Martial Arts Conference, using the method of refining a Spirit Guiding Instrument as bait, he drew out Bai He the Crane Boy and Tu Xingsun who had been smuggling Heavenly Weapons to the demonic cult.

At that time, Bai He the Crane Boy killed Tu Xingsun first and was then captured by him and brought to Lingxiao Treasure Hall for interrogation.

Hao Tian used the Haotian Mirror, showing this spectacular scene to all the immortals.

In the end, when Bai He the Crane Boy realized that the Southern Extremity Longevity Star was about to execute him on the spot, he went mad with demonic possession.

Only then did everyone realized that Bai He the Crane Boy had long been demonically corrupted, no wonder he smuggled Heavenly Weapons to the demonic cult.

And now, this also explained how the Si Buxiang soul blood ended up in the hands of the demonic cult.
