Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 908: Chapter 656: Gold Core Puppet_1

“Could it be that there are not many spirit stones left within this array?”

As this thought flashed through Cloud Traversal True Monarch’s mind, naturally, various other thoughts followed suit.

Several days prior, when he first discovered the Array Skills in this mountain valley, Cloud Traversal True Monarch had launched attacks on it.

Although the attacks were few, and they were quickly halted due to the feared presence of the valley’s owner,

under those limited attacks,

the defense of the Divine Thunder Array was extremely solid.

...

Not to mention cracks, not even a single fluctuation had occurred.

However.

After Cloud Traversal True Monarch had watched from outside the valley for a full four days and confirmed that there was no master present,

today, when he once again took action to attack the Array Skills within the valley,

he hadn’t been attacking for very long,

when the barrier formed by the array in the valley quickly began to change.

From blocking every attack without fail,

to each attack causing the array to experience a wave of fluctuations,

to now, where each attack by Cloud Traversal True Monarch was creating increasingly larger cracks within the array of the valley.

Such changes were impossible for Cloud Traversal True Monarch to ignore.

And from Cloud Traversal True Monarch’s many years of cultivation experience,

the most likely reason for this array to be showing such changes,

was that the spirit stones inside the array had reached a critically low level.

Otherwise, his multiple consecutive attacks days ago had not caused such an effect.

This time, however, under his continuous attacks, the barrier before him showed such changes again.

There was no reasonable explanation for this.

Only if the spirit stones stored within the array were being consumed massively and the spirit Qi within the array was greatly depleted without replenishment, could this explain all that he was witnessing.

Having suddenly realized this, Cloud Traversal True Monarch’s gaze toward the interior of the valley gradually revealed a glimmer of anticipation.

It seemed that the Great Array before him would soon be broken by him.

At that time, no matter what really lay within the valley of the array, it would all be his for the taking.

Thinking this, Cloud Traversal True Monarch sped up his spirit artifact’s attacks on the Divine Thunder Array.

He could see the hope of breaking through the array before him.

Victory was within reach, and naturally, he exerted even more effort.

While Cloud Traversal True Monarch kept attacking the Divine Thunder Array, the Mid-grade Spirit Stones within were also being consumed rapidly.

This situation was not at all unexpected to He Song.

At this moment, although He Song was within the valley, awaiting the emergence of the Taiyin Puppet,

he kept part of his consciousness always alert, monitoring the situation outside and the consumption of Mid-grade Spirit Stones within the Divine Thunder Array.

Therefore, He Song also had a clear understanding of the inventory of spirit stones within the Divine Thunder Array.

The number of spirit stones in the Divine Thunder Array and the cracks that appeared when it was bombarded were all under He Song’s control.

Indeed, as Cloud Traversal True Monarch understood, the cracks that appeared on the Divine Thunder Array were indeed a sign of a dwindling number of spirit stones.

A few hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones might not be considered a lot for a Golden Elixir Array,

but they were still enough to maintain the normal operation of a Golden Elixir Array for a considerable time.

The current situation arose mainly because Cloud Traversal True Monarch, a Golden Elixir Master himself, was attacking the array from the outside.

When a Golden Elixir Master launched an attack, it was terrifyingly powerful, so even if the Celestial God Thunder Array’s defense capability was strong,

it still suffered a huge depletion of energy when the attack reached its barrier.

After the spirit Qi within the Celestial God Thunder Array was depleted greatly, it naturally began drawing from the Mid-grade Spirit Stones inside it to replenish itself.

However, the few hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones that He Song had left behind, due to their number, struggled to supply much spirit Qi in an instant.

The Divine Thunder Array couldn’t absorb enough spirit Qi from these few hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones quickly enough to repair itself.

The result was that cracks started appearing on its barrier.

These cracks should not have appeared.

But due to the scarcity of spirit stones within the Divine Thunder Array, such was the case.

He Song was well aware of this, yet he did not directly infuse too many spirit stones into the Divine Thunder Array.

For He Song,

maintaining the current state of the Divine Thunder Array,

and having Cloud Traversal True Monarch focus solely on attacking the Divine Thunder Array without distraction,

was his true goal.

Maintaining the Divine Thunder Array in a state that seemed on the verge of collapse but was actually stable was necessary.

Only that way could He Song depart unnoticed with the Taiyin Puppet later on.

Perhaps by then, Cloud Traversal True Monarch would merely lament how tenaciously strong the array within the valley was,

withstanding for so long despite seeming moments away from falling apart.

But he did not know,

that by the time he truly breached the “collapsing” array before him,

He Song would probably have long since departed with his Taiyin Puppet.

Within the valley, he would have left nothing but desolation behind.

After all the effort put into breaking the array,

within the valley, not to mention treasures, there wouldn’t even be a single Low-grade Spirit Stone left.

Time passed slowly.

Sheltered by the Divine Thunder Array within the valley, He Song quietly awaited the formation of the Taiyin Puppet.
