Chapter 476 - 244: Xuanji Lock Moon Array: Array Trial_3

It might be that they received orders from above to test my array mastery through this.

Thinking this, Liou Yuan moved his eyes away from the cave and activated his Evil Eyes, looking through the purple wisteria hanging from the mountain towards the cliff above the cave dwelling.

Through his Evil Eyes, Liou Yuan clearly saw the fluctuations of three Foundation Establishment Qi Mansions hidden within the mountain.

One of them was very familiar to Liou Yuan; it was Mr. Zhao of Five Extremes Mountain.

The other two auras were unfamiliar to Liou Yuan.

However, being able to stand alongside Zhao Zhuoran, their status within the sect must not be low.

"It’s said that the Inner Sect has three major Foundation Establishment Array Masters. These two beside Mr. Zhao should be the other two."

"All three Foundation Establishment Array Masters have come; it’s indeed to test me." Liou Yuan was seventy to eighty percent certain in his heart.

Foundation Establishment Array Masters are extremely important to a sect, and even Five Extremes Mountain only has three. The fact that I have the potential of a Foundation Establishment Array Master has long been known in the Inner Sect.

Now that I’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment and gained Divine Sense, my array mastery will surely advance further.

This is a test of Liou Yuan’s array skills. If Liou Yuan can break the array in front of this cave dwelling, this cave dwelling will be his.

If he can’t break it, they probably won’t give this cave dwelling to him either.

The scene of him looking up at the mountain was also noted by Zhao Zhuoran and the other two.

They were concealed within an array specifically for cloaking their presence, which regular Foundation Establishments couldn’t detect.

Unexpectedly, in the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Liou Yuan had already locked onto their position, which left the three of them quite surprised.

The two standing on either side of Zhao Zhuoran were indeed as Liou Yuan guessed; they were the two Foundation Establishment Array Masters who assisted Sect Leader Xuanyi in activating the Sect Array to resist the Dark Prison Ship when its projection invaded Five Extremes Mountain before.

A hunched old man, and an elderly lady in a blood-red long dress.

The concealing array was set up by the old lady.

The Foundation Establishment Array set at the front of the cave to test Liou Yuan’s array skills was set by the old man.

The old lady’s concealing array was seen through by Liou Yuan at a glance, rendering the array’s cloaking effect useless, effectively breaking her array.

The speed at which this array was broken left Zhao Zhuoran sighing in amazement, "Our Five Extremes Mountain will have a successor in array mastery; Sister Jingyan’s Turtle Breath Array was seen through by this young man at first glance."

"He’s better than I was at his age."

"Hmph, it’s all due to those spiritual eyes of his, not that he broke my array using array mastery." The old lady named Jingyan snorted coldly, obviously unable to accept the fact that her array was so easily broken by a junior.

Liou Yuan’s activation of his Evil Eyes in the Chaotic Scene to battle Liou Xie made the fact that he had spiritual eyes no secret in the Inner Sect, which is why Jingyan said so.

"Indeed!" Jingyan’s words received Zhao Zhuoran’s agreement.

He pointed to the cave below and said, "That Xuanji Lock Moon Array below cannot be broken just with spiritual eyes, can it."

"What does Brother Shanhong think? Can he break it?"

"Heh heh." Shanhong chuckled, displaying a carefree demeanor, and said, "If he can break it, that’s best. It’s been a long time since a young Foundation Establishment Array Master has emerged in our Five Extremes Mountain, and the sect’s array path needs to be passed on."

Shanhong added another sentence at the end.

"But my Xuanji Lock Moon Array is not that easy to break."

As the three conversed, Liou Yuan had already pursed his lips, withdrawing his gaze from the mountain and looking at the cave in front of him, muttering, "Well, I didn’t plan on hiding anything anyway."

The identity of a Foundation Establishment Array Master is beneficial and harmless to Liou Yuan, and he naturally didn’t mind.

Since they are testing my array cultivation, let them watch.

With this thought, a violet glow surged in his eyes, and under the boost of his Evil Eyes, the true nature of this Foundation Establishment Array revealed itself to him.

Tuoba Xin, for once, remained silent, staring unblinkingly at Liou Yuan analyzing the array.

He wasn’t accomplished in the array path and was only ordered to bring Liou Yuan here, hoping Liou Yuan could break this array.

"Among the disciples of this generation in Five Extremes Mountain, only Liou Yuan and I are about the same age."

"In the future, he will focus on internal array cultivation, and I will ascend to the peak of the Great Path and expand outward. Together, we will be the mainstays of Five Extremes Mountain."

Liou Yuan didn’t keep the four waiting for long.

As the sunset glow spilled on Profound Lake vanished over the horizon, Liou Yuan had already roughly understood what array blocked the cave in front.

"Xuanji Lock Moon Array!"

The Xuanji Lock Moon Array, ranked among mid-stage Foundation Establishment arrays, mainly serves as a trap array.

From the moment a cultivator steps into the array, their True Essence within will be steadily worn down by the array’s power.

The longer one is trapped, the slimmer the chance of escape.

Interestingly, Liou Yuan observed that this Xuanji Lock Moon Array did not reach mid-stage Foundation Establishment levels. Clearly, the person setting the array intentionally reduced its power, making it only early-stage Foundation Establishment level.

This was likely out of consideration for Liou Yuan’s not-so-high cultivation, being early-stage Foundation Establishment, so the array was also set up at early-stage Foundation Establishment.

"If it was a complete Profound Mystery Lock Array, it would indeed be troublesome. But if incomplete, it’s much easier."

"There are still good senior Foundation Establishment Array Masters in our Five Extremes Mountain."

Understanding the key issues, Liou Yuan chuckled happily.

Then, under the watch of the three Foundation Establishment Array Masters on the mountain and Tuoba Xin, he moved forward, stepping directly into the array.

Tuoba Xin didn’t understand what this meant.

The expressions of Zhao Zhuoran and the other two were quite subtle.

In breaking an array, Foundation Establishment Array Masters generally approach it from two angles.

One is to break it from the outside, which is the safest.

The second is to enter the array directly, becoming part of the array to break it from within.

The latter is quicker than the former, but naturally carries greater risks, and only array masters who are absolutely confident in their own mastery would dare to enter the array to break it.

"This kid is just like his brother." Zhao Zhuoran chuckled.
