Chapter 1342

It could've been a coincidence if only their eyes were similar, but the Nine Li Magus Maiden was also mortal . Her situation was identical to Huan Chenxue's . That made a coincidence quite unlikely .



The two women must have been related somehow .

"Senior Old Snake, regarding this woman…"

Yi Yun questioned Old Snake . Since Old Snake knew Huan Chenxue, he naturally had to understand the secret behind the Magus Maiden .

However, Yi Yun never expected Old Snake to spend a while pondering before sending Yi Yun a voice transmission . "I do not know who she is either . "

"Senior, you don't?" Upon hearing Old Snake's words, Yi Yun was speechless . From Yi Yun's point of view, Old Snake had lived for eons . He should’ve known a thing or two .

"What's so strange about it? It's not like I'm omnipotent and omniscient . That lass Chenxue's race is even more ancient than my Soaring Serpent race . Although I have had some interaction with her, I do not fully understand the various secrets of that ancient secret race . "

"My young friend, Yi Yun . This is our Magus Maiden," introduced Aged Blackrock .

At that moment, the black-dressed woman had already stood up . She walked towards Yi Yun . "Young Master Yi, it's a pleasure to meet you . Sorry for troubling you by making you come all this way . "

Yi Yun cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, it's nothing . The Nine Li Magus Empire helped extricate me from a tough situation in Cloud Pool City, so how could it be a trouble?"

Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, the Nine Li Magus Maiden gave a faint smile and said, "I heard from Senior Blackrock that although you were surrounded when he arrived, you appeared unflustered . I'm sure you would have extricated yourself from that perilous situation even without our help . "

The black-veiled woman's voice was gentle and alluring . The way she spoke no doubt easily won a favorable impression from others .

Yi Yun smiled without a response . Instead, he asked, "Your Highness, I wonder what the Nine Li Magus Empire has invited me here for . "

The Nine Li Magus Maiden shook her head and said, "Young Master Yi, there's no rush . My main goal in inviting you here is to acquaint myself with you . As for what must be done… I'll bring you there to take a look . However, the matter is just too difficult . Perhaps you might not be able to complete it now, but there will come a day when it can be completed . When that happens, my Nine Li Magus Empire will definitely be eternally grateful . "

As the Nine Li Magus Maiden spoke, she stood up . Yi Yun and Aged Blackrock followed behind her as she went through a corridor and entered a massive square . There were already more than ten thousand people gathered there . These people were the alchemists and warriors from elsewhere .

The people from the Pillheart Sect were naturally there too .

"It's Yi Yun . That little bastard is coming . "

Upon seeing Yi Yun, the Pillheart Sect members spoke in murmurs . As the saying goes, enemies see red the moment they meet . This was even more apparent when the Pillheart Sect realized that Yi Yun had received preferential treatment . He had been brought by Aged Blackrock to meet someone but they had been left waiting . They were naturally unhappy about it .

"Who is that woman?"

The Pillheart Sect crowd were baffled when they saw the Nine Li Magus Maiden . Wasn't she a mortal?

Why would a mortal appear here? Furthermore, she seemed to be of high standing?

"Since all of you come from afar, join us in witnessing this . "

The Nine Li Magus Maiden did not mind the huge crowd in the square . She produced a tiny, exquisite dagger seemingly from nowhere and sliced her palm, causing it to drip blood .

The blood did not drip onto the ground and instead was absorbed by some energy . It flew into mid-air and the drop of blood seemed to land on an invisible water surface before disappearing . Simultaneously, the blood drop seemed to stir ripples across the water surface as beautiful ripples emanated outwards slowly .

"This is…"

At the moment the ripples appeared, people felt an ancient and vast aura inundate them . It made them feel like they had transmigrated to an ancient void where they witnessed the legends of the ancient world .



They saw an entrance appear in the middle of where the blood drop was . From the entrance, they could see the boundless edge of another massive world . That world seemed like a scene of devastation . It was filled with swaths of desert that resembled an ancient battlefield .

"Here is it . Those who want to see it, follow me . "

After the Nine Li Magus Maiden said that, she slowly walked into that world .

At that moment, the entrance had expanded to two hundred feet wide . After a slight hesitation, the crowd from the square began to shuffle in .

When they stepped into the desert, it felt like they were stepping on the vestiges of history from hundreds of millions of years ago . The crowd proceeded slowly until a dark red ancient runic pattern appeared beneath the sand . It seemed to turn the sand into blood .


It was a massive array .

Everyone was astonished . The massive array was no trifling matter . It was unknown what its purpose was .

And when Yi Yun stepped in, he felt something extremely familiar . It was…

"This world is a pocket world created by my Nine Li race . Senior Divine Alchemist had set up a massive array in this world . This array has already existed for a very, very long time . Its goal is to… nurture a pill . "

When the Nine Li Magus Maiden said those words slowly, everyone present felt a jolt .

Nurture a pill?

A massive array that filled a world was actually a Herb Nurturing Array!

There were many alchemists present . They knew how difficult it was to refine many pills . Alchemists would often choose to refine an incomplete pill before placing it in a massive array to nurture it for thousands of years before the pill would be ready .



But the massive array before them was not as simple as any ordinary Herb Nurturing Aray . Just from the numinous array patterns, they could appreciate how terrifying the massive array was .

"What pill is it that requires one to go to such great lengths?"

"It was said that Senior Divine Alchemist left something unfinished . Could it be this pill? Then, wouldn't it mean that this array has been in operation for hundreds of millions of years?"

People realized this conundrum as they drew gasps . It would be extremely shocking to nurture a pill or herb for a hundred thousand years using typical Herb Nurturing Techniques . A million years of nurturing almost never happened . After all, Divine Lords only lived for a few million years .

What did it mean to nurture a pill for hundreds of millions of years!?

The Nine Li Magus Maiden nodded . "That's right, this is a legacy of Senior Divine Alchemist . However, this array formation was not meant to be in operation for hundreds of millions of years . Unfortunately, Senior Divine Alchemist never returned after he left . He was unable to finish the pill within the array . And with Senior Divine Alchemist gone, no alchemist has been capable of finishing it . My Nine Li race has gathered alchemists from all over the world numerous times to study it but to no avail . "

"We have been maintaining the operation of this massive array all these years . The worldly essence that has been accumulated over hundreds of millions of years has reached an unimaginable amount . We do not know how much the pill within the array has evolved…" said the Nine Li Magus Maiden lightly . Every word she said left one astonished!

If that were the case, the value of the pill was beyond imagination!

"That is truly a huge commitment…" An alchemist who was advanced in his years said wistfully . "Only Senior Divine Alchemist could leave behind such a miracle . I will not be able to attain Senior Divine Alchemist's level even after dedicating all my life to alchemy…"

"This array is too majestic in scale . We will probably not be able to complete it . " another alchemist said .

They had come hoping to broaden their horizons after hearing about the item the divine alchemist had left behind . They also had the wish that they might be able to complete the item left behind by the divine alchemist . If they succeeded, not only would they gain fame, they would also receive immense benefits .

But just from looking at the Herb Nurturing Array that had been in operation for hundreds of millions of years, they began bemoaning their inadequacies . How were they to complete an array of such massive scale?

Instantly, many alchemists decided to give up . All that was left was for them to broaden their horizons .

At that moment, an elderly voice resounded among the crowd . The person was an elder who wore a heavy cape .

"To think an unfinished Herb Nurturing Array frightens you that much . None of you even have the courage to probe the profundity of it . With such a disposition, how can you call yourselves alchemists?"

When they heard the elder's words, the alchemists who had previously commented were enraged . Who was it that spoke so arrogantly!?

Just as they were about to retort, they instantly shut up when they saw who the caped elder was .

The elder was standing amongst the Pillheart Sect delegation . It was unknown why no one noticed him in the beginning .

And what was more shocking was that the Pillheart Sect's True Lord Seven Kills was respectfully standing behind him .

"What…"

People knew True Lord Seven Kills's standing in the Pillheart Sect . He was nearly equal to the sect master . There was only one person that could garner True Lord Seven Kills's respect—Pillheart Patriarch .

"That elder is the Pillheart Patriarch!? The Pillheart Patriarch actually came here too?"

"Didn't he seal himself in Bloodcull Jade? It has been more than a million years since he last showcased his skill . "

People were astounded . In order to extend their lifespans, patriarchs would seal themselves in Bloodcull Jade . Only when their sects experienced danger would they appear to ensure the light bestowed on the sect by providence lasted for tens of millions of years .

Old monsters that sealed themselves in Bloodcull Jade would have their lifespans greatly shortened every time they came out of it . People never expected that the Pillheart Patriarch would pay such a price to come personally for the divine alchemist's legacy in the Nine Li Magus Empire!
