Ascension, Starting From The Chaos Art Of Heaven And Earth

Chapter 182: Array within an array

Having studied Talisman making with Tianxie Ziyin for a period, Yang Che's understanding of Talismans was naturally incomparable to before.

He had already known, when he was in Wulong Valley, that the types of Talismans used by Cultivators were complex, and in addition to being divided by attribute, there were also attack-type, defense-type, speed-type, containment-type, illusion-type, and so on.

According to their power, from weakest to strongest, they could be divided into Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Supreme Talisman.

Apart from the more special 'Supreme Talisman', each level was further divided into low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade.

And now, Yang Che also knew very clearly that the same kind of Talisman, when made by an ordinary Talisman Maker and a Grandmaster Talisman Maker, had vastly different power.

Moreover, Advanced Talisman and Supreme Talisman could only be made by Talisman Makers with Grandmaster level attainments.

Therefore, once a Talisman's level reached Advanced, its power would undergo an earth-shattering improvement and change.

So, when he saw the Nascent Soul cultivator, who looked like a middle-aged woman, actually take out an Advanced Early Stage 'Mountain Shaking Talisman', he was naturally somewhat surprised.

An Advanced low-grade Talisman was comparable to the full-strength strike of an Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

If facing Nascent Soul Stage enemies, if dozens or even hundreds of Advanced Talismans were thrown at them at once, even a Nascent Soul Late Stage would have to flee obediently.

Of course, Advanced Talismans were extremely difficult to refine, and the success rate was pitifully low, so the price was often ridiculously high.

Prices often started at tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stone, which made most Cultivators shy away.

Before their eyes, the Nascent Soul cultivator, who looked like a middle-aged woman, had already chanted the incantation and began to activate the 'Mountain Shaking Talisman' in her hand.

Along with the dazzling earthy yellow light blooming, a terrifying aura immediately began to faintly emanate.

Just then, all around the outer perimeter of Zi Tian Oasis, right next to the edge of the desert, a faint golden light suddenly lit up, as if emerging from underground, rapidly growing taller and quickly connecting into a continuous sheet, then forming an enormous golden light shield that protected the entire Zi Tian Oasis within it.

As soon as the Intercontinental Great Array was activated, the middle-aged woman Nascent Soul cultivator had already thrown the 'Mountain Shaking Talisman' into the sky.

A huge earthy yellow mountain, nearly a hundred zhang high, immediately appeared above the Intercontinental Great Array.

Immediately after, amidst the flashing dazzling light, this huge mountain immediately fell, smashing onto the Intercontinental Great Array.

'Rumble'

Like an earth-shattering roar, the Intercontinental Great Array also shone brightly with golden light.

The golden light shield seemed unable to withstand the sinking force of the huge mountain and immediately began to continuously indent inwards.

"Yang Che, you can control the Formation."

Suddenly, Tianxie Ziyin's voice rang out in Yang Che's mind.

Yang Che's heart stirred, and a look of joy surfaced.

He raised his arm, formed a hand seal with one hand, and shot out a strange golden runic light pillar directly at the continuously indenting golden light shield.

Immediately, the golden light shield began to bounce back, showing faint signs of lifting the earthy yellow mountain.

This scene immediately made the several Nascent Soul cultivators outside the Formation look extremely solemn.

Immediately, one of them, a young Cultivator with an indifferent expression, stepped out, and a square green great seal was actually hanging from his waist.

After this young man stepped out, he quickly took off the green great seal from his waist, injected magic power into it, and threw it into the sky above the Intercontinental Great Array.

The green great seal expanded in the wind, immediately becoming enormous, as if another huge mountain had appeared, and with a rumble, amidst the flashing green light, it had already smashed onto the original earthy yellow mountain.

The Intercontinental Great Array trembled violently.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Che's eyes, and he immediately put on a struggling facade, as if his magic power was about to dry up and he could no longer resist.

After a stalemate for a while, the young man controlling the green great seal showed a fierce expression and poured his magic power into the great seal.

The green great seal grew larger again and sank down heavily.

'Crack'

A faint sound of cracking was heard.

Then, crack...Buzz!

The golden light shield of the Intercontinental Great Array was smashed by the gray mountain and the green great seal, creating a large hole.

Outside the Formation, the big-faced man of Middle Stage Nascent Soul, wearing only a beast hide short armor and exposing a pair of thick arms, immediately said, "Enter."

With the five Nascent Soul cultivators leading, the remaining nearly two hundred strange Core Formation Cultivators all soared into the sky and entered Zi Tian Oasis through the huge hole.

Previously, the Cultivators in the city who had heard the sounds and seen the city-protecting light shield appear all looked somewhat panicked as they watched these strangely dressed Cultivators pouring into the Oasis.

However, just then, a strange scene appeared.

A cold smile flickered across Yang Che's face, and he directly pointed with one hand, shooting out another golden light pillar.

The 'large hole' almost instantly returned to its original state.

"Oh no, Big Brother!"

The old Nascent Soul man was the first to have a drastic change in expression.

He looked at the big-faced man wearing the beast hide short armor, and said with a gloomy expression, "Big Brother, they seem to have deliberately wanted us to enter this Formation."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the several strange Nascent Soul cultivators all changed.

Then the young man who had previously controlled the green great seal held the green seal in his hand and said coldly, "What are you afraid of? We have Ancient Treasure in hand. Even if they want to play tricks, they will definitely not be our match."

Upon hearing the words 'Ancient Treasure', the expressions of the several people finally eased.

"Thank you, everyone, for traveling thousands of miles to deliver 'Ancient Treasure' to my Zi Tian City."

A mysterious female voice echoed ethereal in every Cultivator's ear.

"Not good, run!"

The old man seemed to have sensed something, and a look of horror appeared on his face as he immediately tried to rush out of the Great Array.

Just then, golden light suddenly lit up strangely beneath the feet of the five people.

In an instant, 'mini' golden elliptical light shields covered each and every one of the strange Cultivators individually.

Each of these light spheres was surprisingly a separate Formation.

At first glance, the approximately two hundred light spheres looked like approximately two hundred 'giant eggs', filling the Intercontinental Great Array.

All these Cultivators desperately used all their abilities, trying to smash through the golden shield, but the golden shield remained motionless, and even the five Nascent Soul cultivators could only sigh in helplessness.

Yang Che's expression was indifferent, his whole body exuding a frosty aura like Tianxie Ziyin, and he coldly asked the five Nascent Soul cultivators, "Who exactly are you, where do you come from, and what do you want to do in my Zi Tian City?"

"Fellow Daoist, we won't say anything. Since we have fallen into your hands, we are already prepared."

The big-faced man wearing the beast hide short armor, his expression gradually calming, said slowly and very calmly.

Upon hearing his Big Brother say this, the other four Nascent Soul cultivators also gradually calmed down and kept silent.

Yang Che was startled, and then he heard Tianxie Ziyin's voice suddenly ring out again: "Do you think that if you don't say anything, this King won't be able to find the information I want to know?"

As soon as the words fell, a miserable scream suddenly came.

Yang Che turned his head and saw that the light shield on one of the strange Core Formation Cultivators had suddenly shrunk, cruelly 'compressing' him inside, making it impossible for the Cultivator to lift his head or move his legs, his entire body almost bent into a bow.

"I'll tell, I'll tell, Senior, spare my life."

After enduring for a while, this Core Formation Cultivator finally 'submitted' helplessly.

He could endure the physical torment, but the strange 'mental torment' in his brain quickly made him unable to resist.

"Dou Ming, how dare you!"

The five Nascent Soul cultivators almost simultaneously roared at this Core Formation Cultivator.

"Don't be afraid of them. As long as you obediently tell this King everything, this King will spare your life. As for them, their lives are hard to save."

Tianxie Ziyin's incomparably cold voice rang out, directly causing these strange Cultivators' hearts to instantly feel as if a layer of ice had formed.

Soon, as Dou Ming recounted, although what he knew was certainly not as much as the five Nascent Soul cultivators, it also made Yang Che, Tianxie Ziyin, and the Cultivators of Zi Tian City all show incredulous expressions after listening.

"This Ancient Remnant Sand Sea, there's actually a place like that?"

Tianxie Ziyin was very surprised, then immediately looked at Yang Che.

Yang Che understood, and a hint of excitement welled up in his heart, eagerly wanting to go to the place this Core Formation Cultivator had just mentioned.
