131 It’s Impossible for a Fool to Cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm
“Hero, I’m hiding in a paper effigy. I’m not afraid of the sun.”
The woman answered honestly.
“But you can’t come out?”
“Yes, I can only move freely at night.”
“Then go stay in the Beast Taming Bag.”
With a thought, Song Shi stored the female paper effigy. Otherwise, it would feel strange if he kept hugging it.
“Granny Cat is actually here. Is Huang Heyu here?”
Song Shi pondered and walked to the city gate. This place was already open for entry and exit. He did not know if it was because the officials of Great Qian had removed the lockdown limits or because of some other reason.
At the very least, there were not many people at the entrance, and there were not many soldiers guarding the city either.
Song Shi walked straight towards the reeds. From afar, he could smell the smell of blood. Then, his pupils constricted.
The reedy area had turned blood-red, like a river of flowing blood.
This place was definitely not like this previously!
“What’s going on”
Song Shi approached curiously and immediately realized that white bones were floating in the blood river. Their flesh and blood had completely disappeared, as if they had turned into a part of the blood river.
In the blood, there was a faint Unholy aura that reverberated around it, making him feel that it was exceptionally dangerous.
“Good lord, it’s really created by the Array Formation Power.”
After taking a closer look, Song Shi sensed the Array Formation Power and realized that the array formation was far more terrifying than the tip of the iceberg he had encountered before.
A figure appeared on the opposite riverbank. He looked middle-aged and was dressed in rough linen clothes. His hair was messy like a chicken’s nest. He chuckled and said, “Another person who’s not afraid of death. Are you interested in working together to break this array formation?”
“Not interested.”
Song Shi had died many times on this array formation. If he continued to die, the benefits would not be high and he would be easily discovered. There was no need.
Unless there was something he needed in this array formation.
“What are you pretending for? Since you’re here, you should know the origin of this cave abode. Don’t tell me you are not interested in the Blood Transformation Technique and Blood Rebirth Secret Technique inside?”
Song Shi shook his head. The Blood Transformation Technique sounded like a demonic cultivation technique. As for Blood Rebirth, what a joke. Who cared if a few drops of blood could help one rebirth? It will never be better than the system’s rebirth.
“There are spiritual herbs inside that can help you form your core or even form your Nascent Soul. You can’t possibly”
“At the moment I am not interested.”
After being rejected three times in a row, this person was starting to get unhappy. He said angrily, “Then don’t stay here to watch the show!”
“I want to see what happen, what can you do about it? Come and hit me if you want.”
Song Shi shrugged. He felt that this person was quite interesting and wanted to trick him into having a death wish.
The latter glared at Song Shi coldly for a moment before turning around and saying, “This person is unwilling to join us. Kill him, lest he takes advantage of us when we break the Array Formation.”
A few people immediately appeared on the other side of the river that was originally empty. They were all cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm.
Those who were interested in exploring this cave abode were basically Foundation Establishment cultivators. Those who rashly explored at the Qi Refinement realm were mostly dead, and most Golden Core cultivators looked down on them.
“I don’t think we have to go so far. There are so many of us. Why should we be afraid of him alone?”
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in a Daoist robe.
Song Shi took a look and saw that this person was actually an acquaintance. It was Daoist Cai, who had tricked him back then. After not seeing him for a few months, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment realm.
“Looks like he obtained the reward from back then.”
Song Shi glanced at them. Apart from the Chicken Nest hair, five people had come out. The other four were at least at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment realm. Daoist Cai, who was at the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm, seemed a little out of place.
“That’s right. This formation is about to be at its weakest. Let’s try to break it first before settling him.”
The only perfected Foundation Establishment cultivator spoke. This person had a long beard, white hair, and was dressed in green clothes. He held a wooden ruler and looked a little like a teacher.
He did not even look at Song Shi. The ruler in his hand emitted a white light, and his body emitted a righteous aura. It was obvious that he was cultivating a righteous cultivation technique.
Perhaps it was because Daoist Cai cultivated the Thunder Technique and restrained the power of the evil formation here that he was able to join this team.
“Oh, you came at the right time. Which batch of cultivators attempting to break the Array formation are you? It seems that many cultivators died in this river.”
Song Shi was interested.
“Over the past three months, more than a thousand cultivators have died here. As for which batch, I’m not sure.”
Daoist Cai smiled at Song Shi with a very kind attitude. “Sir, why don’t you join us? We’ve made ample preparations this time. We have a high chance of breaking the Array Formation and obtaining the treasures in the cave abode.”
“Wait till you open it first.”
Song Shi grinned. He felt that this guy would not be so kind. He was probably trying to rope him in to rebel against the others.
These words made the others frown. Their eyes were cold. If they had thought that it was troublesome to attack him just now, they were now filled with killing intent.
Song Shi smiled and was not afraid.
This reaction made the expressions of the few of them change slightly. They quickly restrained their killing intent and became a little more afraid.
In their opinion, anyone who dared to provoke them despite the fact that there were so many Foundation Establishment cultivators was either a fool or had enough confidence and strength to defeat them.
Clearly, it was impossible for a fool to reach the Foundation Establishment realm.
“How can you tolerate this?”
Chicken Nest Hair couldn’t stand it anymore. “At most, if we can don’t break the array today and just kill him!”
Song Shi took another look at this fellow. He was holding a Buddhist Vajra pestle Dharma artifact. His killing intent was quite strong.
“I don’t think he’ll do anything stupid.”
The teacher said coldly. He was already at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm, so he was not afraid that Song Shi would really attack.
“Hmph, you better know what’s good for you!”
Another big-nosed cultivator with a bad temper snorted coldly. Two balls of fire spewed out of his nostrils. Song Shi could tell that he cultivated a Yang cultivation technique.
Seeing that Song Shi had angered the others, Daoist Cai’s eyes revealed a hint of joy.
At this moment, the teacher made a hand seal, and white vital essence condensed into runes in his palm.
Song Shi took another look. Runes were one of the most basic things in cultivation like Array Formations and talismans. They were like words in a language. By choosing the corresponding runes, one could connect to the Array Formation and crack it.
This person knew about Array Formations. After he continuously shot out runes, the blood river in front of him squirmed and quickly became clear. He then slashed at the water surface and took the initiative to open up a path.
At the bottom of the river, the original mud had been cleared by someone. There was a blood-colored door at the bottom of the river, emitting circles of blood-colored cold energy.
“Fellow Daoist Zhao, keep an eye on the back first. Don’t let anyone mess around and disturb the Array Formation.”
The teacher said to a short and fat cultivator. The two of them seemed to have a good relationship.
“No problem. You guys go down first. I’ll come down again if you need me.”
RUMBLE!
After the few of them went down, they directly began to attack the Blood Gate. The Array Formation Power fluctuated, spreading circles of ripples, causing the entire river to boil.
“Sir, don’t act rashly, lest others misunderstand.”
Cultivator Zhao looked at Song Shi indifferently. A flying sword appeared beside him, emitting a brilliant golden radiance.
Song Shi did not speak. He quietly watched the few of them break the array and secretly observed the situation of the array formation.
“The original jade door has turned blood-red. The power of the Array Formation has become much stronger. It has absorbed the power from all the dead cultivators.”
Suddenly, his gaze shifted slightly. He realized that the man with the chicken nest hair who wanted to kill him at the beginning had certain cheap tricks up his sleeve and wanted to betray the group for his own advantage.
