Chapter 1127 - 375: Healing

In the secret chamber.

In the deepest part, engraved with intricate array patterns.

An elderly man, cross-legged within the array, his skin completely black, showing signs of demonization.

He emits an unsettling and terrifying aura from his body, with a sinister will brewing within.

"My apologies, fellow Daoist."

Xi Chi made a salute towards Lin Zheyu and spoke solemnly.

The Xu Family has reached an extremely dangerous situation; one misstep, and not only will their resources be completely divided among the major forces,

but even the entire family could face an irreversible disaster.

Although the ancestor of the Xu Family is still in slumber, he has no other choice; the family can no longer afford to wait.

Xi Chi could only forcibly open the secret chamber and awaken his grandfather.

"I’ll do my best."

"Please, fellow Daoist, activate the Protective Array," Lin Zheyu said lightly.

Xi Chi nodded gently, took out an array disc, and with a slight thought, more than a dozen green threads shot from the disc and connected to the complex patterns on the ground.

In no time, the Protective Array around the Xu Family ancestor opened suddenly, leaving only the core array set up with divine power crystals, still operational.

This array stabilizes the elder against the demonic will inside and maintains his personal condition.

Under Xi Chi’s expectant, anxious, and uneasy gaze, Lin Zheyu slowly walked towards the elder.

His pace was slow, observing the surroundings, array, and potential dangers with his Celestial Eye as he proceeded.

Xi Chi did not urge him, but silently followed behind Lin Zheyu.

Tap, tap, tap~~~

The sound of footsteps echoed in the spacious chamber as the two approached the elder step by step.

Lin Zheyu curiously surveyed the chamber, with the Celestial Eye in his sea of consciousness emitting brilliant golden light, analyzing possible array restrictions and attack methods within the chamber.

"The arrays within the Xu Family’s grounds are truly remarkable; they don’t seem like those of a Nascent Soul family at all!"

Lin Zheyu said in surprise.

After spending so much time in the demon cave and constantly studying the high-level sealing arrays outside the time-space nodes, Lin Zheyu has made tremendous progress in the Array Dao.

His insight into the Array Dao is even more advanced.

From Lin Zheyu’s perspective,

the expert who arranged the arrays within the Xu Family grounds was exceptionally skilled, beyond what ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators could achieve.

As Lin Zheyu understands it, the Xu Family is an Array Dao family; however, there has been no Divinity Transformation expert within.

The strongest are merely Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even with well-laid arrays, weak cultivators cannot fully exert the power of the array.

Let alone arranging the array.

In the Array Dao, the difficulty of cultivators setting array surpasses that of fighting across levels.

The more intricate, advanced, and powerful the array restrictions, the higher the requirements for cultivators’ strength.

If one’s strength is insufficient, the cultivator’s perception, control of spiritual power, soul intensity, and more will not meet the array setup requirements.

Undiscerned arrays would appear rough, lacking intricacy.

But in the Xu Family grounds, these intricate and advanced array techniques are certainly beyond what Nascent Soul cultivators could accomplish.

"No wonder the Xu Family holds a slot for the Celestial Derivation Sect’s Array Dao exchange; they do have some skill," Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

Tap, tap, tap~~

The two proceeded slowly.

Lin Zheyu checked all the hidden array restrictions in the chamber.

After confirming that no array restriction in the chamber threatened him, he sped up his pace and walked to the elder’s side.

"Can you awaken the senior?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

To ease the problem of demonic will erosion within the cultivator, Lin Zheyu needs to control the golden energy, infiltrating the opponent’s sea of consciousness to remove the demonic will and demonic energy one by one.

Xi Chi’s grandfather, although in very poor condition, is still a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The dead camel is bigger than the horse; the sea of consciousness of a Nascent Soul cultivator is incredibly strong, and without the opponent’s cooperation, Lin Zheyu cannot silently infiltrate.

After all, cultivators mainly focus on the soul, and in terms of soul mastery, Lin Zheyu is but a schoolboy compared to cultivators.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist."

Xi Chi stepped forward.

With Lin Zheyu curious, Xi Chi flipped his right hand to produce a golden needle about ten inches long.

Xi Chi took a deep breath and calmed his mind.

With a slight movement of his eyes, he swiftly and accurately stabbed the golden needle into the elder’s glabella with his right hand.

Lin Zheyu observed as a strong soul power surged from within Xi Chi, using his soul as a lead to channel into the elder’s body with the golden needle treasure, forcibly awakening the elder.

After a dozen breaths.

The elder’s eyelids trembled slightly, and a burst of potent, evil aura suddenly erupted, rippling outward.

Bang!

Xi Chi was thrown back by the elder’s sudden burst, crashing hard against the chamber wall.

He gasped for breath as he climbed from the ground, his face pale.

Just forcibly awakening the elder had greatly drained Xi Chi.

"Grandfather, no!"

As Xi Chi stood, he urgently shouted.

However, it was already too late.

As the elder awoke, he suddenly roared, his body blazing with demonic flames, and his right arm unexpectedly demonized into a giant hand, striking towards Lin Zheyu.

Boom!

A terrifying roar sounded, the colossal demon hand striking the ground, leaving only a shallow mark.

"Damn it, the worst case has happened; grandfather indeed lost control!"
