Chapter 1027: Chapter 534: The Sealed Land (Part 2)

These array artifacts are the result of years of artifact refining by Li Mu. Each possesses different functions, all of which are tier seven Dao artifacts, treasures of the half-immortal tier, capable of setting up extraordinarily powerful defensive, concealment, and concealing breath arrays.

The five-color array artifact is a Five Elements Protection Array, using the essence of Heaven and Earth—the tier seven Five Elements Spiritual Objects—supplemented by the divine runes as the basic array for refining. Each array banner contains a rich concentration of Five Elements Qi. The banners respectively represent: the gold banner embodies the sharpness and solidity of gold, the green banner contains the vitality and proliferation of wood, the blue banner surges with the resilience and depth of water, the red banner burns with the passion and heat of fire, and the yellow banner condenses the density and carrying capacity of the earth.

With a thought from Li Mu, the five-color array banners danced and fluttered in the air, interweaving with each other, guiding all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surrounding the Seven Profound Sect into them, instantly forming a vast defense array that encompassed the entire sect.

The seven jade array tokens are the core of the "All Heaven Stars Concealing Array". These jade fragments are extraordinary, refined from a tier eight Star Crystal Core, containing strong star power. Obtained from the Emperor Celestial Palace’s treasure vault, Li Mu used supreme magical power to engrave the array patterns of the "All Heaven Stars Concealing Array" onto the jade fragments, enabling them to simulate the trajectory of star movement and set up a concealment array.

When the seven array tokens are arranged according to specific positions, the sky seems to tear open, and rays of starlight project down, connecting with the array, concealing the entire Seven Profound Sect within the infinite starry sky. Even those of integration great power find it difficult to locate it.

As for the three bronze tripods, they are the key to the "Earth’s Breath Concealing Array". These tripods are neither gold nor iron, forged from the legendary earth, the origin soil of the earth, possessing the power of endless life and infinite transformation. The three tripods respectively represent the start, transit, and conclusion of the earth veins. Li Mu uses special techniques to activate them, allowing them to draw the power of the earth veins to form a vast concealing breath domain.

Within this domain, both the aura of living beings and the fluctuations of magical treasures are perfectly concealed. To the outside world, the Seven Profound Sect appears as barren land, devoid of even the slightest hint of vitality.

As Li Mu activates and completes the array layout of the three types of array artifacts, the skies above the Seven Profound Sect are instantly stirred, with colors of light, star paths, and earth vein fluctuations intertwining, creating a scene that captivates the heart.

This sight leaves the elders and disciples of the Seven Profound Sect in collective shock. They look up to the sky, their eyes filled with disbelief and awe.

For a long time, the Seven Profound Sect has been a fringe sect in the Central Continent Spirit Realm, never having such a magnificent sight, as if the entire sect has been imbued with supreme divine power, isolated from the world, becoming a realm of its own.

"The Sect Master is truly formidable! To be able to set up such powerful arrays!"

"Indeed, with these arrays, our Seven Profound Sect no longer needs to worry about outsider invasions."

"Are there other forces about to attack us? Why is the Sect Master making such a grand preparation?"

...

Seven Profound Sect - The disciples discuss in whispers, tense and uneasy, while their eyes flicker with admiration and reverence for the Sect Master. In their hearts, Li Mu is not just the head of the sect, but also an artifact refining master, an array master, whose every move can overturn common sense, creating unprecedented miracles.

With the three grand arrays deployed, the Seven Profound Sect suddenly becomes solid as a rock, impenetrable!

"What a terrifying array artifact, Sect Master, what’s happening? Why do this?" The Third Elder - Qin Wentong looks up at the powerful Tianji Farray and mutters to himself.

The Third Elder - Qin Wentong, and several other elders, just want to move and seek Li Mu for clarification.

"Everyone, this array setup is just a precaution. You can rest and cultivate within the sect without going outside. Once the sect concludes its closed-door training, I’ll explain to you all."

At this moment, Li Mu’s voice clearly reaches the elders and sect disciples’ ears, calm and carrying undeniable authority, instantly calming the troubled minds of the Seven Profound Sect’s disciples.

Qin Wentong pauses for a moment at the words, then looks at the other elders, seeing their faces also revealing looks of relief and assurance.

Qin Wentong thought silently: "The Sect Master has his profound reasoning for this action; we just need to follow his lead."

Stopping the elders and disciples from approaching, Li Mu smiles faintly and summons Xiaobai and Xue’Er from the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion.

"Xue’Er, Xiaobai, I need to enter here for a period of closed-door training. Protect this place for me, and don’t let anyone enter." Li Mu eyes the treasure vault and signals to Xue’Er and Xiaobai.

"Uh, Brother Li, you can focus on closed-door training; I won’t let anyone disturb you."

Though unsure why Li Mu chose this treasury as the site for closed-door training, Xue’Er still nods obediently, leaps in a flash, guarding the entrance to the sect’s treasure vault, her lively eyes shining with alertness and determination.

Xiaobai is not to be outdone, its petite figure instantly transforms into a ray of white light, landing on Xue’Er’s shoulder, releasing soul power, vigilantly sensing the surroundings.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiles slightly, flashes his form, and flies into the Seven Profound Sect’s treasure vault, preparing to repair the hidden Five Elements Shifting Array within.

Back then, Li Mu chose the Seven Profound Sect as the sect headquarters upon seeing the extraordinary nature of the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Gathering Array that was laid upon the Seven Gods Mountain, which has a sub-array associated with it—the Five Elements Shifting Array, capable of breaking space-time barriers to reach a certain secret realm.

The mother array—the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Gathering Array was repaired by Li Mu, while the sub-array hidden in the sect’s treasure vault, the Five Elements Shifting Array—was deliberately sabotaged, extremely thoroughly, making it difficult for even a master of arrays to notice its existence.

Without the Recognize Ten Thousand Spirits innate divine technique, Li Mu wouldn’t be able to detect its existence.

The mother array—the Five Elements Yin Yang Spirit Gathering Array, the Five Elements Shifting Grand Array, before destruction, most of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power gathered by them was transmitted into this secret realm. All signs indicate this secret realm is extraordinarily complex.

The cultivation of Five Elements and Yin Yang implies chaos; this secret realm is very likely related to chaos. If news leaks out, the impact would be significant. Therefore, Li Mu did not dare to repair this sub-array without full confidence over the years.

Now, Li Mu’s cultivation reaches the peak of Void Refining, his divine soul is exceedingly robust, having successfully comprehended the Five Elements Dharma Aspect, his cultivation is towering, and additionally, seven Divinity Transformation Avatars consolidate from retreat to essence, paired with tier seven Dao Pill—the Returning Void Pill, the success rate of refining the Void Realm reaches seventy to eighty percent.

If there’s another secret realm with integrating Five Elements and Yin Yang Dao Principle to aid, attacking the Refining Void Realm would be virtually certain.

Li Mu’s heart moved swiftly, filled with confidence towards the upcoming closed-door cultivation.

Upon entering the treasure vault, Li Mu casts his gaze, collecting all the spiritual objects, wooden frames, stone tables inside the vault into his Storage Ring, and then focuses on a central, damaged array base—the sole remnant of the Five Elements Shifting Array.

The tattered array patterns are covered in dust and traces of age erosion, yet in Li Mu’s eyes, it’s the key to higher realms.

Li Mu summoned several tier six Spirit Swords from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, using spirit as a rope, sword as a pen, and divine as ink, driving the spirit swords, transforming into flowing light upon the damaged array base to re-carve the Five Elements Shifting Grand Array.

With Li Mu’s thought, several tier six Spirit Swords seem to be endowed with life; they weave through the air lightly, their tips glimmering with dazzling brilliance, precisely like star paths upon the broken array patterns, sword lights fall along with a faint humming sound—that’s the resonance of array re-carving and reactivation of the old array, akin to a giant dragon that has slumbered for millennia awakening.

Li Mu closes his eyes and concentrates, immersing himself fully in the process of repairing the array, distinctly sensing the flow of Five Elements Spirit Qi, along with their subtle balance and restraint, employing his deep understanding of Five Elements Dharma Aspect, guiding the spirit swords to reconstruct the vague, fractured array patterns according to the sequence of Five Elements Mutual Generation.

The earth element sword light is sharp as lightning, carving through dust, delineating the robustness and resilience of earth element array patterns; water element sword light is gentle and flowing, akin to a steady stream, nurturing the vitality and vigor of wood element array patterns; wood element sword light is lively and flourishing, green and lush, providing continuous fuel for fire element array patterns; fire element sword light is blistering, burning with passion and strength, igniting the stability and density of earth element array patterns, while the earth element sword light is like a Mother Earth, encompassing all things, stabilizing the foundation of the entire array.

As the array patterns gradually restore, the Five Elements Spirit Qi swiftly converges within the treasury, rushing towards the grand array, intertwining, forming a perfect loop.
