Chapter 1816: Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array

"It’s just that I’ve received the inheritance of the Long Xiao Battle God, nothing to make a fuss about!"

After a long while, seeing Murong Sou seemingly digesting something, Yun Xiao could only speak again, though his words lacked much respect for the Long Xiao Battle God, which made Murong Sou slightly furrow his brows.

"This place is relatively safe, if you wish to refine those things, you may proceed here!"

Murong Sou sensed the alien energy coming from beneath the ground, and as his words fell, the plainly-clad young man opposite gently shook his head, invoking a puzzled look from him.

"I came to find you initially because of those things, but since we’ve met, you are, after all, a member of the Murong Family, it’s impossible for you to just stand by while someone is in mortal danger, right?"

Yun Xiao’s subsequent words carried an inexplicable meaning, but the subtle hint within changed Murong Sou’s expression slightly, showing a hint of disbelief.

"What do you mean, ’stand by while someone is in mortal danger’?"

Murong Sou furrowed his brows even tighter, although at the moment he was immobile all over and could only speak, he believed he wasn’t in any life-threatening situation, so how could he speak of standing by while someone is in mortal danger?

"You must think that sitting there you are completely safe, right? If you think that way, you are gravely mistaken!"

Yun Xiao’s eyes scanned where Murong Sou was seated with flashing eyes, then spoke with even more confidence, as he walked towards the edge of the square.

"Do not come in!"

Upon seeing this, Murong Sou hurriedly warned loudly, knowing this place was the most crucial part of Murong’s Tomb. Only someone who reached the Holy Rank Third Realm and possessed the direct descendant bloodline of the Murong Family could avoid deadly danger.

If an outsider dared to step onto any real ground of this square, the inevitable outcome would be death and the disappearance of paths and goals. Murong Sou had quite a favorable impression of this young man named Yun Xiao and didn’t want him to perish here.

Frankly, Yun Xiao’s talent displayed today truly shocked Murong Sou. With such a limitless potential peerless genius as an enemy, in the Emperor Canglong Palace, it’s likely some unknown changes might occur soon.

"Rest assured, I know more about this ’Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array’ than you do!"

Perhaps Murong Sou’s loud warning had an effect, as Yun Xiao stopped at the square’s edge. Yet, the next sentence fell on Murong Sou’s ears like a shocking revelation.

"What did you say? Water... Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array?"

Stunned by hearing this name that seemed to exist only in legend, Murong Sou was taken aback. Although he was a renowned person within the Murong Family, hearing the name of this large array made his head buzz.

Looking at Murong Sou’s reaction, he clearly had heard of the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array, though he had only heard about it before, never seen it firsthand. Unexpectedly, he found himself trapped within it inside Murong’s Tomb.

The so-called Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array was the most mysterious large array of the Murong Family, specialized in water attribute cultivation, perfected over thousands of years by many ancestors.

However, when the famous Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array was passed to a certain Clan Leader, it suddenly became lost.

Murong Sou believed if this Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array had still existed when Qinwan led people against them a hundred years ago, the Murong Family wouldn’t have been so easily extinguished.

Just hearing the name of the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array radiates unparalleled majesty. On this continent, whether it’s "Dragon" or "Sky," both are supreme entities, let alone the existence of both.

The so-called Water Dragon, although formed by special power, isn’t a real Divine Dragon, yet it can flip the sky, far from an ordinary thing, considered the most powerful water attribute large array of the Murong Family.

Who knew within Murong Sou’s impression, the lost Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array would appear here and bind him, imagining the power of this large array, he couldn’t help but be filled with dread.

No matter how powerful Murong Sou was, whether he was a top-level person in the Holy Vein Third Realm, facing this Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array made him feel powerless.

Needless to say, the force that bound him immobile made him feel unmatchable, and this was merely just the tip of the iceberg of the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array.

"The Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array here is somewhat different from the lost Flipping Array of your Nangong Family. Although I can aid you in some way, I don’t have full confidence, so your decision is yours to make!"

Yun Xiao spoke eloquently, from his words it could be understood that although he recognized this as the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array and knew some details about this large array, he wasn’t entirely sure.

In fact, back when Yun Xiao and the Murong Family Patriarch were on good terms, it was from the mouth of that Murong Patriarch that he learned some details about the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array.

At that time, Long Xiao Battle God, already a Holy Rank Advanced Array Master, was naturally extremely interested in such a powerful and mysterious large array.

After several years of research, he managed to partially complete this array, which the Murong Family had lost and only some fragments remained, but to appear complete on the Continent again, it still needed more time for research.

Unfortunately, at that time, Emperor Canglong and Lu Qinwan suddenly attacked, and Yun Xiao didn’t even have time to tell the Murong Patriarch about his research before his soul drifted away.

Needless to say, after Long Xiao Battle God died, the Murong Family was also exterminated, and the Murong Family’s Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array was also buried on the Continent.

After being reborn, Yun Xiao had no time to research the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array further; only when he encountered this large array again did certain memories from his past life flood back, prompting him to say what he did.

Even in his past life, when he reached the status of a Holy Rank Advanced Array Master, Long Xiao Battle God needed years of research to barely understand the basics of the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array. In this life, Yun Xiao, even with some insights, it’s clearly impossible for him to fully control this large array.

"So, what choice needs to be made?"

For some reason, even though the rough-clothed boy in front of him was young, Murong Sou didn’t hesitate much and asked directly, which made Yun Xiao quite gratified.

Perhaps it was because of Yun Xiao’s previous achievements, or perhaps it was Yun Xiao’s attitude towards the Emperor Canglong Palace, or perhaps Yun Xiao recognized the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array at first glance, which Murong Sou hadn’t.

In any case, after knowing this was the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array, Murong Sou realized that with his own strength alone, there probably wasn’t much chance. So let’s see what means this boy has?

"If I make a move, there will be two situations. The first is the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array’s power erupts beyond what you and I can control. I might be able to escape in time to save my own life, but you might not be able to get away unscathed!"

Yun Xiao spoke directly and clearly, first explaining the most severe consequence, then watched Murong Sou not far away, seemingly wanting to see how his expression changed.

"Tell me the second one!"

Murong Sou’s response did not disappoint Yun Xiao. Such a serious consequence didn’t even make him blink, and he directly responded, knowing that Yun Xiao definitely had more to say.

"The second is that I use some means to keep the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array within a range you can bear, allowing you to use the power of this array to take another step forward!"

Yun Xiao’s face showed a trace of light. He paused slightly before continuing: "Even so, it’s not without danger. If you can’t endure the power of the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array, or if I lose control, it could still result in death and the disappearance of your soul!"

Yun Xiao, having lived two lives, strives for perfection in his actions, but he truly has no confidence in this Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array. Even with the second situation stated, in some sense, it doesn’t differ much from the first.

"Of course, you could also choose not to let me take action. With the Murong Family’s blood in you, the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array might not erupt, and perhaps you’ll escape at some other time!"

Seeing Murong Sou in contemplation, Yun Xiao spoke again, and this time his words offered another way out. If an outsider were in this situation, they would probably choose this option without hesitation.

After all, forcibly absorbing the energy within the Water Dragon Sky Flipping Array is extremely risky; a single mistake could result in the total annihilation of one’s soul, a consequence few can bear.

"Yun Xiao, since you claim to be the heir of Long Xiao Battle God, you should know the grudge between my Murong Family and the Emperor Canglong Palace, right?"

After contemplating for a moment, Murong Sou did not make a direct choice but asked solemnly, causing Yun Xiao to be thoughtful. He seemed to have vaguely guessed the other party’s choice and nodded slightly.

The Murong Family used to be one of the Four Great Families, so prestigious in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud North Domain, but unexpectedly they were wiped out overnight. The few remnants can only hide away like mice, not daring to show themselves.

Such a tragedy is even more devastating than Long Xiao Battle God being killed alone back then. With his mindset, Yun Xiao can imagine Murong Sou’s hatred toward the Emperor Canglong Palace.

"Then tell me, with my current cultivation strength, what are the chances of success if I seek revenge against Emperor Canglong or Lu Qinwan?"

Seeing Yun Xiao nod, Murong Sou asked another question. As the words fell, he stared intensely at the rough-clothed boy across from him, as if wanting a satisfactory answer.

"I’m afraid... not even ten percent!"

Even if Murong Sou hoped to hear a pleasing answer, Yun Xiao ultimately gave him a harsh reality. Perhaps this answer truly reflects the reality.
