Chapter 332: Chapter 156 Essence of Ancient Array Patterns_3
As for the mortals, deaths occurred city by city, and it was said that quite a few territories had their lands stained blood-red.
Lu Yi felt the pressure increase as he listened.
With his current strength, if the Sea Clan swept near Qingzhou, he might not even have the power to protect himself, let alone safeguard the people he cherished.
He had to focus on his cultivation.
Then Lu Yi thought of his Master, whose strength seemed exceptionally formidable, and perhaps there wouldn’t be a big problem.
But then again, Lu Yi considered that, while his Master was strong, the Sea Clan might have equally powerful figures. If that were the case, the situation would probably still be very grim.
Reliance on others could never compare to self-reliance.
Feeling tremendous pressure, Lu Yi knew he had to seriously cultivate after his return.
Later, Lu Yi heard news that the Immortal Sect Holy Land of the Eastern Domain was planning to talk with the Sea Clan ancestors to find a way to stop the fighting.
Continuing the battle would bring no benefits to the Eastern Domain, and of course, it would be a huge loss for the Sea Clan as well.
All Cultivators were looking forward to this negotiation, wondering whether there would be a turning point.
A group of Cultivators discussed it hotly, each expressing their perspectives, and then they began talking about other matters. Lu Yi listened for a bit and realized they were just gossiping—nothing that concerned him.
Lu Yi paid his bill and left.
Lu Yi traveled for several days and eventually arrived at the sect’s location in Cold Jade Valley.
The location of Cold Jade Valley was in a snowy mountain range, rumored to be where an Immortal who had mastered the Ice Tao gained Enlightenment. Although Qingzhou was not cold, the snow here never melted, even after ten thousand years.
The entire area was extremely cold, perfect for cultivating the Heart of Ice.
Without alarming anyone, Lu Yi sneaked into Cold Winter Valley and found Han Yu.
Han Yu’s Cave Mansion was situated on a snowy mountain, almost entirely constructed from ice blocks.
Upon seeing Lu Yi, Han Yu showed a surprised and delighted smile. “Brother Lu, what brings you here?”
Since the chaos in Qingzhou, the two had not seen each other for quite some time.
Han Yu, with his white hair and delicate beauty almost like a woman’s, warmly hugged Lu Yi.
Lu Yi felt a bit uncomfortable. Han Yu might look like a girl, but he was definitely a man, and Lu Yi was not keen on hugging and cuddling with another man.
How improper!
Lu Yi smiled and said, “I’ve come to Cold Winter Valley to construct a Sect Protection Array for you.”
Han Yu laughed upon hearing this. “I’ve heard about it. A while back, Brother Lu went to the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect and constructed a Sect Protection Array for them, even using it to kill four Unification Great Powers?”
Lu Yi smiled. “I didn’t expect that even Cold Winter Valley had heard of it.”
Cold Winter Valley was not near the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect.
Han Yu shook his head and said with a sigh, “That event startled the whole world. How could we not have heard of it? Brother Lu’s strength is becoming more and more astonishing. It is truly admirable.”
Lu Yi smiled. “Afterward, we can have a sparring session.”
“That would be great,” Han Yu said, smiling and nodding.
“Brother Han Yu, take me to meet your Sect Leader first,” Lu Yi said with a smile.
Han Yu nodded and took Lu Yi to meet Sect Leader Lu.
Sect Leader Lu and the Supreme Elders of the Cold Jade Valley had naturally heard about Lu Yi’s arrangement of the Sect Protection Array for the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect, and they had been eagerly waiting for his arrival.
Upon seeing Lu Yi, they were all overjoyed.
“Taoist Lu, you’ve arrived. We have prepared the array materials, and now we are relying on you!” Sect Leader Lu said with a beaming smile.
Lu Yi naturally nodded with a smile as well.
He followed Sect Leader Lu to the treasury of the Cold Jade Valley and was somewhat surprised to find that the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the Cold Jade Valley were even more abundant than those of the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley.
There were as many as four pieces of Ten-thousand-year-old Ice Iron, Heavenly Materials, and Earthly Treasures of the Unification Realm.
“These pieces of Ten-thousand-year-old Ice Iron were mined from a vein in Cold Winter Valley; we never dared to use them,” Sect Leader Lu explained.
Lu Yi was somewhat surprised. Cold Winter Valley was indeed a wonderful place, possessing eternally unmelting ice and such a vein.
This matter was probably known to only a few besides Sect Leader Lu. Otherwise, Cold Winter Valley couldn’t possibly protect such a treasure trove.
After taking the Ten-thousand-year-old Ice Iron, Lu Yi began preparing to arrange the Great Array for Cold Winter Valley.
With the precedent set by the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect, before setting up the Sect Protection Array, Lu Yi first arranged some smaller formations to conceal the energy flow and avoid detection so that the commotion from the Sect Protection Array would not attract the prying eyes of powerful forces.
During the arrangement of the Great Array, Lu Yi used all four pieces of Ten-thousand-year-old Ice Iron and also took out three other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the Unification Realm for added measure so that he could set up an array capable of withstanding the forces of the Mahayana Realm.@@novelbin@@
Watching the ice fog swirling around the Array Eye, Sect Leader Lu and Han Yu stood side by side, and Sect Leader Lu exclaimed, “Yu’er, if only you were a woman.”
Han Yu was taken aback and asked with a puzzled look, “Master, why would you say that?”
Sect Leader Lu said, “Look at the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect, Yun Xi and Lu Yi are a Taoist couple. Lu Yi had taken out a total of eight Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and they themselves only had one piece of the Unification Realm. Yet our Cold Winter Valley had four pieces of the Unification Realm, and the final array is perhaps not as strong as that of the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect. If you were a woman, our array could have been stronger than theirs.”
Although the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect was closed off, the cultivation treasures that could be used for communication still existed. Sect Leader Lu had specifically inquired Granny Hua for any special considerations for Lu Yi’s array arrangement to avoid any mistakes and naturally understood the situation.
Han Yu: “???”
He was full of confusion, unsure of what to say for a moment.
The array was set up very smoothly, and after a few hours, the terrible pressure dissipated. Lu Yi exhaled a breath of stale air and turned to Sect Leader Lu and Han Yu, “Sect Leader Lu, I have accomplished the task entrusted to me.”
Sect Leader Lu’s expression became solemn as he deeply bowed to Lu Yi and said, “Thank you, Taoist Lu. Qingzhou is in turmoil, and without your Great Array, our Cold Winter Valley’s inheritance might not have been preserved, and the secret would eventually have been discovered.”
Han Yu also turned to Lu Yi and earnestly said, “Thank you, Brother Lu. If Brother Lu should request it, I, Han Yu, am willing to go through fire and water, refusing nothing!”
Lu Yi smiled, “Sect Leader Lu, Brother Han Yu, you’re too kind.”
At that moment, Lu Yi thought for a bit and then said, “Cold Winter Valley is a treasure land. If the secret gets out, I’m afraid this Great Array might not hold. I have another formation here that could be deployed in the event that the land cannot be defended. It will ensure the preservation of the lives of the cultivators of Cold Winter Valley.”
Previously, when Lu Yi was at the exit of the East Forest Ruins, he saw many mysterious ancient array patterns. At that time, he could not comprehend them and recorded them. Now, his Array Tao Realm has advanced, and he has understood a small portion of the essence of these array patterns.
