Chapter 1390 - 1394: The Price of Passing Through the Immortal Locking Array

Through his understanding of the Power of the Starry Origin, Yun Hao perfectly immersed his Divine Sense into the stars, flickering alongside countless stars.

Feeling the stars around him shimmering incessantly, Yun Hao gradually gained an insight. The forty-nine copper figures, initially moving without pattern, gradually became traceable in his mind.

Withdrawing from his insights, the moment Yun Hao opened his eyes, Chu Yan seemed to see the vast starry sky.

"Dear wife, I feel like I've found a way to unravel the array. Would you like to try it with me?"

Yun Hao looked softly at Chu Yan by his side and asked.

"What do you think? Of course I would. Or do you plan to try it with another woman?"

Chu Yan glared at Yun Hao playfully. If Yun Hao dared to say yes, she would dare to turn fierce.

"Little jealous pot!"

Yun Hao affectionately pinched Chu Yan's small nose, then held her hand, focusing again on the forty-nine copper figures in front of him.

At this moment, in Yun Hao's eyes, the forty-nine copper figures were no longer just copper figures.

They had transformed into forty-nine flickering stars. Each time a copper figure moved to a new position, to Yun Hao, it seemed as if one star dimmed while another brightened.

"Using the Power of the Stars, a Nine Palace Immortal Trapping Array has been set up. Every change in the copper figure's position causes a change in the array, with a total of forty-nine variations, each containing three thousand Sword Qi!

If you make one wrong move, it will trigger the endlessly changing array, causing three thousand Sword Qi to strike simultaneously!"

As Yun Hao explained, he moved with Chu Yan to the left at a forty-five-degree angle, shifting about half a meter.

The instant they landed, Chu Yan quickly looked towards the forty-nine copper figures and found that they showed no sign of launching Sword Qi, continuing their erratic movements.

"Yay, I knew my husband is amazing!"

Excitedly, Chu Yan jumped up, her slender and strong legs clamping around Yun Hao's waist, hanging onto him like a koala.

"Hold tight, if you fall, I won't save you!"

Yun Hao supported Chu Yan's hips with one hand, gently pinching them as he spoke.

"Hmph, if you don't save me, I'll cry!"

Though that's what Chu Yan said, her legs gripping Yun Hao's waist tightened a bit more.

Once steady, Yun Hao observed the moving copper figures once again, and suddenly seizing a moment, he took a step forward, spanning nearly two meters.

Everything was as before...

As Yun Hao's feet landed, the moving copper figures continued their self-absorbed movements, with no emergence of Sword Qi.

"Muah!"

Seeing they safely moved another step, Chu Yan couldn't help but reward Yun Hao with a kiss.

One step...

Two steps...

Three steps...

Yun Hao observed the trajectory of the copper figures while aligning them with the stars in his mind, merging his Divine Sense into the Nine Palace Immortal Trapping Array.

Every so often, Yun Hao would take a step, be it a meter, ten centimeters, left, or forward...

Soon enough, Yun Hao held Chu Yan and reached the center of the array. Throughout this process, not to mention three thousand Sword Qi, not even three Sword Qi appeared.

By now, Chu Yan had kissed Yun Hao dozens of times, yet her enthusiasm for kissing hadn't dwindled.

"Let's wait here for a bit; this is the center of the array, a temporary safe spot. I'll check the next Power of the Stars!"

Gently patting Chu Yan's hips, Yun Hao prompted her to get down and once more attempted to merge the moving copper figures before him with the stars in the sky.

Chu Yan wasn't worried that Yun Hao wouldn't be able to unravel it. Imitating Yun Hao's manner, she observed everywhere, occasionally comparing it to the Starry Sky Map behind Yun Hao.

"No, this array isn't a true Nine Palace Immortal Trapping Array. It's a combination of the Nine Palace Immortal Trapping Array and the Eight Trigrams Immortal Destruction Array!"

After pondering for a while, Yun Hao suddenly shook his head, a look of shock crossing his face.

Immortal Destruction?

Everything?

Could it be, this so-called Immortal Locking Array's first half is the Nine Palace Immortal Trapping Array, and the latter half is the Eight Trigrams Immortal Destruction Array, determined to destroy immortals?

Using the Power of the Stars, one can safely navigate through the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Array.

But what about this Eight Trigrams Immortal Destruction Array?

Does it really use all beings as chess pieces?

But... where are all beings?

"Husband, don't rush. Everything in heaven and earth, even plants, has its essence. All beings don't necessarily have to be human or immortal!"

Seeing Yun Hao's brows tightly knit, Chu Yan reached out with her small hand to gently smooth his furrowed brows, soothing him with gentle words.

"No, here, all beings can only be cultivation masters of achievement!"

Yun Hao shook his head slightly, sitting cross-legged and gesturing for Chu Yan to sit by his side.

"Do not make any move; I've figured out a way to break this Eight Trigrams Immortal Destruction Array!"

Yun Hao reassured Chu Yan, and then his hands began slowly changing in front of him, faintly emitting an overwhelming aura.

Yun Hao was cultivating...

Seeing Yun Hao cultivate under such circumstances, Chu Yan felt puzzled but didn't inquire.

To Chu Yan, regardless of when, whatever Yun Hao did, surely he had his reasons.

Time flew by, and Yun Hao and Chu Yan had been sitting in the Immortal Locking Array for over a month...

Elsewhere, the black-clothed woman had already passed through the Immortal Locking Array, though she appeared gravely damaged, her cultivation weaker than before, as if someone had forcibly extracted a part of her Primordial Spirit and cultivation.

Su Jiuzi had also passed the Immortal Locking Array's trial, faring much better than the black-clothed woman.

However, behind Su Jiuzi, at the just-passed array position, lay a corpse, marred beyond recognition.

If someone were here, they would notice that the corpse faintly exuded a Late Stage Ninth Grade aura.

This was also Su Jiuzi's Corpse Puppet, though not as formidable as Su Hongling, which is why Su Jiuzi kept it hidden.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy in the Immortal Locking Array.

Meanwhile, Zhao Ya and Feng Yin had also emerged from the Immortal Locking Array; Feng Yin's condition seemed fine.

However, Zhao Ya's state was rather poor, her face pale, and her body bore traces of blood...

In order to get through the Immortal Locking Array, Zhao Ya lost her Celestial Phoenix Race's innate Divine Powers.

From this point onward, she was no longer a member of the Celestial Phoenix Race, as the bloodline of her race was absent in her body, let alone the ability to manifest a Celestial Phoenix.
