Chapter 1526: Formation Traps the Enemy
With the strength of that old couple, if they fell into an array set up by a low-level Array Master, they might be able to break it with brute force.But the Greater Demon Trapping Formation set up by Fang Bai could trap even a Nascent Soul Perfection expert for an hour or two, let alone a Nascent Soul early-stage expert like that old couple.
Fang Bai estimated that once the old couple fell into the Greater Demon Trapping Formation, it would take them at least half a day to break out.her Corpse Land!"
"If we could obtain the Nascent Soul of that Nascent Soul expert, absorb its essence, our lifespan could be extended by a few more years. Perhaps within those years, our cultivation level could break through again. If we could ascend a small realm, we could gain an additional sixty-year lifespan!"
"That’s right, with an extra sixty-year lifespan, we could achieve higher accomplishments on the path of cultivation, gaining more years to live. Unfortunately..."
"The Great Tomb is heavily trapped; they won’t easily obtain the cultivation resources inside!"
"Don’t forget, that brat is a brilliant Array Master. The traps inside the Great Tomb might not pose much threat to him... Alas, it all depends on fate!"
"Humph! My fate is decided by me, not by the heavens!"
...
The old couple inside the Demon Trapping Array, knowing it wasn’t realistic to break the formation in a short time, simply sat cross-legged, nurturing their True Yuan, trying to recover the strength they had just lost, to accumulate power for breaking the formation later.
Meanwhile, as the old couple was trapped in the Demon Trapping Array, Fang Bai and He Wujie had already exited the array.
"Disciple, your formation... truly miraculous!"
Standing outside the Demon Trapping Array, He Wujie marveled as he observed the formation composed of eighty-one Spirit Stones, feeling both admiration and immense relief.
He marveled at the formation’s incredible mystery, able to easily trap two Nascent Soul experts, something he had never seen in his life.
He felt relieved because, if not for the formation trapping the old couple, he and Fang Bai might have already fallen under their powerful attacks.
Fang Bai smiled slightly, listening intently in the direction of the Great Tomb for a moment, then said, "Master, that old couple is trapped in the formation and can’t escape for a while, posing no threat to us. Moreover, they can’t effectively control the two puppet corpses in the Great Tomb. It’s a good time for us to enter the Great Tomb now."
"Cough, cough..."
He Wujie suddenly coughed lightly a few times, showing a trace of pain on his face, and said with a bitter smile, "Not now... cough, my injuries are quite severe... give me a hundred breaths of time to recover a bit."
Fang Bai knew he had suffered a heavy blow from the old couple earlier and was severely injured, so he nodded and said, "Then Master, please meditate to heal. I’ll stand guard."
He Wujie sat down on the spot, concentrating his mind, and instantly entered a cultivation state.
Although He Wujie was severely injured, he possessed an Innate Wood Spirit Root. After being injured, the Wood Element Qi within his body circulated on its own, healing himself continuously, and now, focused on healing, his injuries were recovering even faster.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred breaths passed, and He Wujie’s injuries were visibly improving.
Especially his chest, which had been deeply sunken from the severe blow, with bones quickly mending, showing no visible sign of injury from the outside, and his overall energy and spirit improved significantly.
And during these hundred breaths, there was no movement inside the Demon Trapping Array, as the old couple apparently continued accumulating power.
Fang Bai nodded secretly, thinking that if the old couple had panicked and tried to escape the formation earlier, they would have been trapped even longer.
"Whew..."
He Wujie exhaled a long breath, leapt up, took a few gulps of Thousand Spirits Elixir, and said to Fang Bai, "Although my injuries haven’t fully healed, my combat strength has recovered seventy to eighty percent. We can enter the Great Tomb now!"
According to He Wujie’s estimation, the two puppet corpses in the Great Tomb, without the old couple’s effective control, would have less than half their usual combat strength. His seventy to eighty percent combat power was more than enough to handle them.
With that, He Wujie took the lead, with Fang Bai following, kicking open the Meteoric Iron Gate blocking the passage to the Great Tomb.
As the shattered pieces of meteoric iron were cleared away, the two Nascent Soul Realm puppet corpses appeared before them.
The two puppet corpses had been wandering in place, but upon sensing the living aura from Fang Bai and He Wujie, they turned their figures and rushed towards them with mechanical steps.
However, their reactions were noticeably duller than before.
"I’ll handle them!"
Seeing this, He Wujie felt completely at ease, shouting lowly as he met them.
"Master, you just need to subdue them. Don’t destroy their bodies!"
Fang Bai suddenly reminded.
He Wujie’s figure paused, asking curiously, "What do you intend to do?"
Fang Bai chuckled and said, "If I can control the two Nascent Soul Realm puppet corpses and have them at my disposal, wouldn’t that be great?"
He Wujie asked in surprise, "You know the Corpse Refinement Technique?"
"What’s so difficult about the Corpse Refinement Technique?"
While thinking this to himself, Fang Bai said, "That eccentric who taught me to brew the ’Thousand Spirits Elixir’ was knowledgeable about ancient and modern matters, and also imparted some cultivation methods and secret techniques to me. The Corpse Refinement Technique is just one of them."
He Wujie said enviously, "You lucky boy, you’ve really hit a huge opportunity!"
