Chapter 390: Illusory Sky Array
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
It was still that mountain.
It was the same bamboo forest.
Ye Xiao stopped by the edge of that area.
When he stepped one step ahead, it might be the entrance to hell for him. That was a boundary between life and death!
Ye Xiao changed his look into Feng Zhiling again.
He quietly looked at the bamboo forest.
With no reason, he felt depressed every time when he looked at this place.
It was some kind of suppression!
The suppression came from that man in the forest.
Master Bai!
The mountain and the forest hadn’t change its look for thousands of years as it was said. It was quite a story. There must be secrets about this.
However, no matter how magical it was, it wouldn’t give Ye Xiao such suppression!
Only Master Bai could!
Only he could do it!
Ye Xiao could be sure that if there wasn’t Master Bai but only Wan of Clouds and Xiu of Heavens, he wouldn’t be so terrified.
He knew he had many methods to stop the women from doing anything. At least, it would be difficult for them to do anything.
However, now that there was Master Bai with them. Even though he was physically weak, his wisdom made every opponent of his feel powerless.
[I will defeat you someday!]
Ye Xiao spoke in mind while he was walking to the bamboo forest!
[Face to face!]
…
In the bamboo forest.
Ye Xiao, appeared as Feng Zhiling, was moving rapidly.
However, he was immersed into a strange illusion loop.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
When he made one step, he saw the green bamboo. When he made another, what he saw was all snow and he felt cold. After a while, it became spring, and the bamboo leaves were shaking. When he move further, it suddenly became a cool autumn day…
It was endless.
In the bamboo forest, Ye Xiao had moved many rounds and saw the four seasons many times.
It was still indistinct. Nothing changed. It felt like there was no other people within thousands of miles around!
But he was in the Chen-Xing City!
He had been in this place before!
He would never forget what he had seen the last time he came!
[This must be an array!]
He was enlightened and came to a conclusion.
It was not some ordinary array. Ordinary arrays were all just making illusions to cover people’s eyes. They interrupt the sensations of human bodies to create fake perceptions. That would make people fall into misunderstanding in thought. The array he was in now allowed him to exactly feel the change of the temperature of the four seasons. He had all those small feelings of it. Ye Xiao knew that it was far beyond normal arrays. It was very likely the one that was most difficult to learn, Illusory Magic Array!
Illusory Magic Array was something in the myths. Ye Xiao had only heard about it before; he had never seen or experienced any.
He had never expected to experience this legendary array in this lowest realm under the firmament!
He didn’t know if it was lucky or it was misfortune!
Ye Xiao stopped. He stood there quietly and started thinking carefully.
No matter what array it was, low-level, high-level, normal or legendary, it had a leak point.
At least, the one who set up this array would always have a way to get out of it. He wouldn’t be trapped by himself!
Then, the path he took to leave the array was the one that led to the exit. That was the key to breaking the array.
…
While Ye Xiao as thinking about how to break the array, there was a man looking at him with his eyes of wisdom and he didn’t know it!
In fact, when he just entered the bamboo forest, Master Bai sensed it.
He was watching Ye Xiao with a very special way. It was beyond normal people’s acknowledgement!
He looked up ahead in the distance, and then suddenly, he turned over his hand and showed his palm. He then looked at his palm.
On his palm, when he looked at it, the palm prints disappeared. After some glow and shadows rolling upon it, there showed up a mirror in his hand.
It wasn’t a real mirror though. It was a mirror plane. Inside the plane, everything was so clearly shown!
Inside the mirror plane, it was the entire mountain and the bamboo forest.
The four seasons were in it too.
As expected, there was also… Feng Monarch in it.
"Master, I will bring him to you!" a man in black clothes bowed and said with a solemn face, "this place is a sacred place where nobody dares to get in for thousands of years. He actually just broke in. How dare him. I think it is time that we show the world our rule here."
Master Bai shook his head. "No need. Let’s see whether he has a way to deal with it or not. Rules are there to be break. It is just that nobody is able to break it. That makes it infrangible. If he can break my array, that must be something delightful. This man, the Feng Monarch of Ling-Bao Hall. I quite look forward to his performance!"
The man in black was solemn. He said, "Yes, master."
Master Bai looked at the mirror with a smile as he murmured, "I wonder if you can break my Illusory Sky Array? If you can, that would be rather interesting!"
He thought about it and then shook his head. He laughed.
The Illusory Sky Array was marvelous indeed. Even in the Qing-Yun Realm, maybe no one was able to break it, let alone in this lowest realm, Land of Han-Yang. Even in the realm where Master Bai was from, there were just a few people who could get through it. That wasn’t something easy to achieve!
[Feng Zhiling is the Monarch of Ling-Bao Hall, a master of supreme level dan-making…
Could he be also an array-breaking master?!]
Thinking of it, he felt that it was too much for Feng Zhiling to do. He was about to send somebody to get Feng Zhiling, but he suddenly stopped.
He saw that Feng Monarch stopped moving and closed his eyes. Feng Zhiling took a piece of black cloth and covered his own eyes.
"Well, that is smart." Master Bai smiled blandly and said with interest, "Are you trying to do it gruffly? It would very possibly work in some normal arrays to break the array down by force, however, in my Illusory Sky Array… It won’t. At least, you are not powerful enough. If you cannot break it by one strike, the array will recover itself. It will be just wasting your time and effort! Well, let me see what you got though. Maybe you will surprise me!"
