Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 580 - 183: Inheriting the Legacy, Multiple Strategies

They arranged the array formations, but did not specify where the array was located, only informing the successive sect leaders how to activate the dharma gate.

To Li Yuan, this dharma gate seemed somewhat unbelievable.

Because it is a comprehensive application of "heart skill, mantra, and hand formulas," but those who use this set of dharma gates must have the Source Blood of the Divine Wood Hall.

In other words, it doesn’t have to be the Hall Master, but anyone in the Divine Wood Hall who is of Fifth Grade or above can activate it.

As for the location for activation, it is said to be anywhere within the Triple Gate.

Once activated, the entire Triple Gate will be enveloped by an extremely powerful defensive force, making it impossible for an external strong enemy to invade.

The third array, Qing Hancheng calls it an "Illusion Array."

But this "Illusion Array" is not something that deceives people’s perception, but an array that hides the real scene beneath another scene.

Initially, when Qing Hancheng saw this array, he was shocked.

Because this "Illusion Array" easily makes one think of "covering one space-time with another space-time."

To manipulate space-time, such a level, Qing Hancheng couldn’t imagine.

But after Qing Hancheng fused his dual personality and began using the Withered and Flourishing Sword, he realized it was not the case.

This is fundamentally not manipulating space-time, but "One Thought Becomes a Scene," and then using the array to conceal this scene over the original scene.

Normally, when you look from the outside, it’s a certain scene, but once you step inside, it becomes the real scene.

But this is just the simplest form.

A slightly more complex one requires breaking the array.

Qing Hancheng speculates that breaking the array requires some magic, and if not magic, then a treasure is needed.

This treasure happens to be one of the inheritances of the successive Hall Masters of the Divine Wood Hall — a jade key.

At this moment, Li Yuan held this key as he arrived at the place Qing Hancheng claimed to be an Illusion Array.

He first threw the key aside and took a walk around the Illusion Array.

Releasing his senses, all he saw and heard was a flat underground area of bricks and tiles, indistinguishable from any other area, similarly dry and stuffy.

Li Yuan picked up the key again and walked onto the Illusion Array.

This time, he passed through a ripple and stood in front of a small stone house by a pond.

This pond should have been dead water, yet it exuded vitality, and Li Yuan even saw fish swimming within.

He looked up at the sky.

Dusk had passed, with stars filling the sky.

This indicated that the small stone house in this Underground Palace Illusion Realm was actually above ground.

Or, in other words, the roof of this Underground Palace is also part of the Illusion Array.

Such a place should serve as a "second location" for the core members of the Divine Wood Hall to take refuge, for use after the Sect Protection Array is breached.

As for some of the "Illusion Arrays" outside the hall, they were Qing Hancheng fooling Gu Xuejian, letting Gu Xuejian know some so-called "sect secrets."

At this time, Li Yuan stepped into the small stone house.

The room was quiet, with a bed and a desk.

On the desk were some booklets.

Li Yuan walked over and flipped through them slightly, revealing a look of joy.

These booklets were all secret skills or dharma gates of Fifth Grade and above, including body skills, poison techniques, beast taming, especially taming demon beasts like the Wood Demon and insects, as well as alchemy.

Li Yuan flipped through them again and discovered that the Fifth and Fourth Grade Beast Taming Secret Skills given to him by Qing Hancheng were copied from here.

He had previously read those two secret skills and had attempted them slightly but always failed to grasp the essence, never forming "skills," so he did not cultivate them.

Now, after looking at the complete versions here, he realized Qing Hancheng had only copied the majority, leaving out a small portion, presumably to control him.

However, now, with the complete secret skills, he could plan to include the Fifth and Fourth Grade Beast Taming Skills.

Poison technique, body skill, alchemy, these are all things he needs...

Li Yuan bundled them up in a rush, stuffed the booklets into his breast pocket, and prepared to take them back to the Cloud Mountain Path, along with the three original Visualization Images and the cultivation skills, to hand over to Cui Huayin and the others.

After finishing these, Li Yuan left the Illusion Array.

The inheritance of Qing Hancheng was abundant, not something easy to deplete.

Besides these, Li Yuan also found numerous Blood Gold Tickets, Blood Crystal Marrow, and elixirs.

He carefully accepted these inheritances and then tied "Thousand-Mile in a Line" to a certain disciple within the Triple Gate, moving these treasures to Chenxi Manor every time he returned to the White Bamboo Bell Tower, entrusting them to Cui Huayin and the others for safekeeping.

Cui Huayin, Jing Shuixiang, and Gu Yaojue had no idea what was happening outside, and seeing their man bringing the Divine Wood Hall’s treasures and secrets constantly being moved here as if relocating, was shocked to their core.

They once suspected their man had robbed the Divine Wood Hall.

But how is that possible?

Li Yuan didn’t keep this from them, as he had previously knocked out the two women and brought them back using another appearance.

So, he explained how he became Dian Wei, arranged to duel with Qing Hancheng, how Qing Hancheng miserably died, how he was entrusted with a last will, and the flaws existing in the cultivation skills, one by one.

The three women, plus Li Ping’an, looked at Li Yuan as if he were a monster.

Their man actually defeated Qing Hancheng, who was nearly breaking into Third Grade?

The Divine Wood Hall’s cultivation skills have such terrifying inherent flaws?

The original Visualization Image has always been hidden in the White Bamboo Bell Tower?

Each of these was a piece of news sufficient to shock them, and now all were stacked together.
