Chapter 349 - 348: The Beast God’s Probe
The shock came and went in a flash.
An immense amount of knowledge churned within her mind.
A moment later, Li Qinghe finally snapped out of her daze. Her head still throbbed with a dull ache, like the aftereffect of being pricked by a thousand silver needles.
But compared to what she had gained, this bit of pain was nothing at all!
’Master’s private lessons are way too potent.’
She marveled inwardly, closing her eyes to take stock of her recent gains.
The Celestial Inference Array, the Earth Fire Array... A dazzling variety of great Arrays now flooded her mind, everything becoming crystal clear as if she had been suddenly enlightened.
With just a moment of recollection, she could recall the details of every single Array Pattern.
’How is this private tutoring?’
’This is a force-fed banquet!!’
If she were to learn this abstruse knowledge on her own, it would have taken at least two or three years. But now, in a single instant, it had all converged in her mind, transforming into subconscious knowledge.
All that was left... was to find time to digest it all.
And what surprised Li Qinghe even more was...
’Besides the proper Dharma Gates, there are actually Evil Arrays in here?!’
"’Drain human marrow, use bones as the array lines...’"
Seeing this, she was completely stumped. ’Master’s knowledge is so broad? He’s even researched Evil Arrays?’
’If Qin Yang ever fell in with a Cult, I can’t even imagine what kind of apocalypse would follow...’
"You’re awake?"
Seeing her awake, Qin Yang spoke, leisurely popping a piece of cabbage into his mouth. "These Dharma Gates are quite profound. They should keep you busy for a while. If there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, come and ask me. Just don’t go saying your master plays favorites anymore."
"Mhm... Master, you’re the best to me!"
Li Qinghe nodded blankly, her expression complicated. Remembering the Arrays she had just perceived, she fiddled with the corner of her clothes and asked hesitantly,
"Master, among the things you passed to me, why were there some bloodthirsty, flesh-melting Arrays? Have you researched evil arts as well?"
Then, she added worriedly,
"Please don’t fall to the dark side one day..."
"Evil arts?"
Qin Yang rolled his eyes, naturally understanding Li Qinghe’s concerns. "Stop worrying about me for nothing. Go back and comprehend what I gave you. Don’t go casually looking at the other Evil Arrays."
Those so-called Evil Arrays.
were actually products of his observation of the Blood Spirit Array over the last few days.
Understand one principle, and you will understand a myriad of methods.
Qin Yang figured that while he would never use those Arrays, it was best to be cautious and understand them thoroughly, just in case.
Even if he never used them, he had to be prepared for any eventuality!
"Oh,"
Li Qinghe scratched her head sheepishly. She replied as if she only half-understood and didn’t dare say another word.
「In the days that followed.」
During the day, Qin Yang continued his Cultivation at home, taking the opportunity to guide Elder Li and the others in comprehending the Heart of Law.
At night, he would make time to go beneath Li Shui Lake to observe and research ways to improve the Blood Spirit Array.
The days passed one by one.
「As night fell.」
The surface of Li Shui Lake shimmered.
The moonlight was hazy, like a white veil.
Qin Yang sat cross-legged on the dark sand at the bottom of the lake, his body suffused with a translucent, blood-red light. As the Power of Laws circulated, he was attempting to connect with the Blood Spirit Array.
Just then, an aura suddenly entered his Spiritual Domain.
It was ferocious and terrifying!
Qin Yang’s head snapped up toward the surface of Li Shui Lake as if he had sensed something. Without a moment’s hesitation, he shot straight upward.
BOOM!
The lake surface churned!
The moment he burst from the water, he finally saw who had come.
A blood-red figure floated above the water, robes billowing in the wind, his wild black hair flowing like spilled ink. It was the Beast God, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time!
He now stood quietly upon the lake’s surface.
In the distance, the signal lights of the police checkpoints were still lit, and the patrol teams around the lake were still on duty.
Yet not a single person had discovered his presence!
’I don’t know when, but this guy actually managed to sneak here without a sound!’
’As expected, relying on them was asking too much.’
Qin Yang’s brow furrowed slightly. He watched the Beast God’s every move warily, though he wasn’t surprised. ’A Celestial Venerable truly can come and go as they please.’
As the thought crossed his mind, a terrifying aura washed over him.
The Beast God had also locked onto Qin Yang’s position. A red light flickered in his eyes, but he remained silent, simply staring intently at Qin Yang, his thoughts unreadable.
The surface of Li Shui Lake fell silent.
"What, looking for another fight?"
Qin Yang met his gaze with composure, cracked his knuckles, and raised an eyebrow at the Beast God.
"You’d better think this through. The Blood Spirit Array is right under us. If our fighting affects the Array, I’m not taking any responsibility."
"..."
"..."
The lake’s surface remained silent.
The evening wind stirred the Beast God’s hair.
With two great Celestial Venerables gathered in one place, the natural Laws of the surrounding world began to shift.
In just a short while, dark clouds gathered overhead. The weather shifted dramatically, and a thunderstorm began without warning.
The world between heaven and earth filled with gleaming water.
In that very moment of confrontation, the Beast God suddenly thrust out a long-brewing palm strike directly at Qin Yang.
The squall’s direction shifted abruptly, and a gigantic, mountain-like palm materialized from the curtain of rain. It pressed down slowly toward Qin Yang, drawing countless wisps of water vapor in its wake.
Silent and formless, it passed through the downpour, hiding an immense killing intent!
"..."
At this, Qin Yang’s brow furrowed, and he immediately circulated his Star Force to retaliate.
He thrust out a single finger.
The next moment, finger and palm clashed!
BOOM!
The two attacks collided.
Thunder boomed across the sky as if countless bolts of lightning were erupting within the clouds. A howling gale whipped up the lake, parting the waves.
For a brief instant, the downpour seemed to freeze in midair.
Then it resumed its torrential descent.
The brief clash dissipated without a trace, as if nothing had ever happened.
’Such powerful Star Force.’
In the rain, the Beast God’s palm trembled slightly, and his eyelid twitched. He sized up Qin Yang from head to toe, a barely perceptible flicker of shock in his eyes.
’He really has broken through to the Middle Stage of Celestial Venerable.’
’A Celestial Venerable this young... it’s simply unbelievable.’
’Even in the Upper Realm, someone like him would be an extreme rarity!’
’If he used a Secret Technique to boost his power like last time, his current strength would be in no way inferior to my own!’
’This is bad. Very bad...’
The Beast God was shocked and uncertain, and he began to panic.
After all, he hadn’t come here to fight Qin Yang, but to probe his true strength.
And from that brief exchange, he now had his answer.
What made his heart pound even more were the auras from beneath the surface of Li Shui Lake!
Relying on his brief scan, the Beast God had keenly sensed that several Celestial Venerable experts were stationed at the bottom of Li Shui Lake!
All of them were at the Early Stage, and their gazes were now fixed squarely on him.
If he did anything else out of line, he feared the Celestial Venerables at the bottom of the lake would immediately rush to the surface and intervene.
’I never expected Earth Star to have changed so much! Where did all these Celestial Venerables come from?’
At this thought, the Beast God grew even more alarmed and uncertain.
’Qin Yang alone has already reached the Middle Stage of Celestial Venerable. So what about the hidden Gang Leader of the Heaven-Blasting Gang?’
’His power must be even greater!’
