The surface of the stone wall was engraved with ancient and intricate patterns. These patterns were interconnected, and one could faintly sense a subtle rhythm imbued within them.
“The Taiyi Tian’gang Demon-Subduing Array!” Ye Wushuang examined it carefully, her expression tinged with solemnity.
The Taiyi Tian’gang Demon-Subduing Array! This was a true eighth-grade spiritual array! An eighth-grade spiritual array was powerful enough to seal away extraordinary beings beyond the Illusionary Self realm. Could it be that Tian Linzi was not merely at the Illusionary Self level?
Moreover, the Taiyi Tian’gang Demon-Subduing Array was incredibly difficult to construct. It was not just complex; it was nearly impossible for an ordinary eighth-grade spiritual array master to create. Only a ninth-grade spiritual array grandmaster could possibly achieve it. A ninth-grade spiritual array grandmaster was an exceedingly rare existence across the entire Tianyuan Continent. Whoever had used this array to seal Tian Linzi must have been extraordinary.
Ye Wushuang approached the stone wall, and the spiritual patterns she had gathered around herself were repelled when they touched the wall. However, the force was not strong. This seal had existed for countless years, with no one to maintain it. Moreover, after centuries of resistance from Tian Linzi, the spiritual array was likely on the verge of collapse.
“It can be broken…” Ye Wushuang murmured to herself.
However, if she broke the seal and freed Tian Linzi, he would surely kill her, Mu Zili, and Ji Ou. Ye Wushuang attempted to reinforce the array, hoping to enhance its power to suppress Tian Linzi. But it was futile. The array had existed for too long, and much of its internal energy had gradually decayed. Most of it had been weakened by Tian Linzi’s constant assaults over the years. The core of the array was on the brink of collapse. Even without Ye Wushuang’s intervention, the seal might have shattered within a century, allowing Tian Linzi to break free.
Frowning, Ye Wushuang did not waste any more effort and continued to move forward in this vast and illusory world. She felt an odd sensation, as if she were being coveted. This feeling had become particularly pronounced when she tried to reshape the Taiyi Tian’gang Demon-Subduing Array just now.
She took step after step into the depths of the mist. Here, there was no sense of the passage of time or direction in space. It felt as if she had experienced many years, yet also as if it had only been an instant.
Suddenly, another stone wall appeared before her. But as she got closer, Ye Wushuang realized that it was not a wall, but a split mountain. The side of the mountain facing her was smooth and flat, like a mirror, reflecting her figure. However, when Ye Wushuang looked at her reflection in the mirror, her eyebrows arched in surprise.
Within the mirror, her reflection gradually changed, and eventually transformed into another figure. The person in the image wore a light blue robe, with his long hair tied up. He held a bamboo scroll in one hand and placed the other behind his back. His gaze seemed to be directed at Ye Wushuang, but when she looked at him, she could not clearly see his face. There was only an air of superiority that commanded respect.
“Did you trigger the Taiyi Tian’gang Demon-Subduing Array?” the man’s voice was gentle and magnetic.
“Yes,” Ye Wushuang replied.
“Are you going to release Tian Linzi?” he asked.
“Yes,” she answered again.
This time, the man did not fall silent. “You must not!” he said firmly.
“Oh? Why not?” Ye Wushuang asked with interest. “If I don’t release him, my two friends will be killed by him.”
“Moreover, I tried to reinforce the seal, but the array has existed for too long. Many of its key components have decayed. With my current level of fourth-grade spiritual array expertise, I can’t do it!”
The man continued, “If you release him, thousands or even tens of thousands of people in this world will die…”
“I don’t care about that. All I know is that if I don’t let him out, my two friends and I will die right now!”
The conversation came to a halt. However, the man in the mirror seemed to be hesitating.
“I can help you seal him,” the man said. “I have something here that I left behind when I sealed him, to prevent the day he might break free.”
“What is it?”
“Ninth Abyss Iron Cold Ice,” the man replied earnestly. “Tian Linzi has been sealed for hundreds of years and is already in a state of exhaustion. Within a century, he will surely die. He practiced dark magic and killed countless people. When I sealed him here, I left behind the Ninth Abyss Iron Cold Ice. If you cover the core of the array with it, you can use the remaining power of the array to freeze his soul and spirit. He will not be your opponent then.”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Great!”
“Then please give me the Ninth Abyss Iron Cold Ice, Senior.”
“It’s not with me,” the man replied. “The Ninth Abyss Iron Cold Ice is in a cold pool deep within this demon-sealing space. With your strength, you can obtain it.”
Ye Wushuang smiled meaningfully and said again, “Then, Senior, please show me the way!”
