Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Neither the folding fan nor the bone bow are their ultimate targets.

It’s not yet time to make a move.

Moreover, the opponent’s strength is not low. If a real fight breaks out, it could lead to the collapse of the array, and the things inside could be destroyed, which would be bad.

Thus, Yu Yuanshan turned to let Zhao Yping seize the remaining Initial Grade Dao Artifacts.

The Divinity Transformation Realm expert named Ma Tie, who had originally smoothly acquired the jade flute, also wanted to seize that longsword.

However, after seeing Zuoqiu Yiren’s action and the conflict erupting between her and Yu Yuanshan,

Ma Tie decisively gave up on this idea.

When immortals fight, he wouldn’t get involved.

Obtaining one was already very good.

Thus, five Initial Grade Dao Artifacts remained.

The Joyful Union Sect got three, and the Cyan Cloud Sect obtained two pieces.

Zuoqiu Yiren also did not wish to truly fight with them, so since the folding fan and bone bow were already in hand, the others were dispensable.

After all the Dao Artifacts in the great hall were divided,

an empty great hall only had the throne at the far end remaining.

The strength of several people was not low.

Even through the outer array, they could sense the round mirror above the throne, emanating a spatial channel, obviously leading elsewhere.

Although Yu Yuanshan had a way to break the array in front of the throne, he wasn’t willing to make a move, his eyes swept towards Zuoqiu Yiren, and he said, ”This array, even I, this old man, can’t see any flaw in it, hard to break. I wonder if you have a way to break it.”

”Yes.” Zuoqiu Yiren said.

Yu Yuanshan raised an eyebrow, not expecting her to be proficient in arrays too. After pondering for a moment, he said, ”The array outside this Tomb Mansion was the opening made by this old man, materials for breaking the array provided by Daoist Li; yet you have not exerted any effort and have already obtained a Magical Treasure along with the Dao friend beside you, so...”

Yu Yuanshan glanced at Li Meng before continuing, ”Since you have a method to break the array, I’ll leave this array to you to handle.”

Yu Yuanshan didn’t want to complete the array-breaking process only for others to take advantage of it.

”I...don’t understand arrays, but if there’s anything I can do, just say it.”

Before Zuoqiu Yiren could reply, Ma Tie stepped forward and said.

He was worried they might kick him out.

After all, he hadn’t contributed either.

Even though one side was from the Cyan Cloud Sect, and the other from the Joyful Union Sect.

Both are prestigious righteous sects, their conduct should be upright and magnanimous.

But Ma Tie dared not entrust his life to their character.

Zuoqiu Yiren ignored Ma Tie, only softly replied ”Okay.”

This left Yu Yuanshan somewhat surprised.

He expected Zuoqiu Yiren to decline at least a little.

However, her straightforward agreement reduced some of Yu Yuanshan’s displeasure with her.

After all, no one likes a person who doesn’t contribute but benefits.

”What method does the honorable guest intend to use to break the array?” Yu Yuanshan couldn’t help but discuss when he saw the other might also be skilled in arrays.

”I have one sword that can overcome ten thousand methods!”

Zuoqiu Yiren’s right hand mimed a grip, and the True Qi within her surged like a wave, forming a transparent three-foot-long sword in her right hand.

She lifted the longsword above her head, muttering under her breath.

A powerful energy and overwhelming Sword Intent rippled from the blade.

Even Yu Yuanshan and Li Meng felt a tingle of apprehension.

”Are you really planning to forcibly break the array?”

As the Sword Intent grew increasingly sharp, even the great hall started to tremble, Yu Yuanshan seemingly guessed something, and said.

Zuoqiu Yiren didn’t respond, as the rolling True Qi infused the longsword.

Until the sword blade struggled to bear this power, and cracks appeared on it.

The faces of Yu Yuanshan and Li Meng changed dramatically.

She was indeed going to forcibly break the array.

”No, stop quickly, forcibly breaking the array could lead to the collapse of the Tomb Mansion, and everything inside will be lost.” Yu Yuanshan hurriedly urged Zuoqiu Yiren to stop.

To forcibly break the array, there was no need for Zuoqiu Yiren, he too could do it.

Zuoqiu Yiren wasn’t skilled in any array-breaking methods, just trying to scare Yu Yuanshan and the others.

After stopping, she said, ”Then what should be done?”

”Let me think,” clearly not wanting Zuoqiu Yiren and Chen Mo to take advantage again, Yu Yuanshan pondered a while before saying, ”Thunderstruck Wood, Cyan Demon Vine, Thunder Qi Stone, each has array-breaking properties. If we use these natural treasures, I can open another breach in this array like before.

The unfortunate thing is that I have already used up such natural treasures.”

”I don’t have any either,” Li Meng said.

”I have a Thunder Qi Stone.” Ma Tie took out a silver rock shrouded in thunder from his space ornaments and handed it to Yu Yuanshan.

”I never carry such things,” Zuoqiu Yiren said.

Upon hearing Zuoqiu Yiren’s words, Yu Yuanshan’s mouth twitched slightly.

The items he mentioned are common among precious materials, ordinary people might not have them.

But people of Zuoqiu Yiren’s strength mostly have them.

Seeing her unwillingness to part with any, Yu Yuanshan said, ”Then there’s no other way.”

As a result, the atmosphere became awkward.

After a quarter of an hour, a few others arrived at the scene.

Their eyes scanned the surroundings, quickly seeing the stone chair at the far end of the great hall.

However, they weren’t impulsive people, upon seeing the array in front of the stone chair, they knew what Yu Yuanshan and the others outside were doing.

Clearly, they assumed even experts from the Cyan Cloud Sect and Joyful Union Sect couldn’t break the array outside.

They found a place to sit down.

Just then, Zuoqiu Yiren moved.

Yu Yuanshan’s eyes narrowed, a glint of keen insight flashed through his eyes, and he secretly thought, ”Couldn’t resist anymore, huh.”

Yu Yuanshan said, ”Have you found a way to break the array?”

”No,” Zuoqiu Yiren said.

”Then what is it?”

”Since none have a way, sitting idle is still sitting. Might as well force it and go. If actions are gentle enough, perhaps it won’t cause the array to collapse.” Zuoqiu Yiren said.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanshan felt like spitting blood.

Seeing Zuoqiu Yiren condense her longsword, ready to break through the array.

Yu Yuanshan hurriedly said, ”I remembered! It’s possible to substitute with Spirit Stones, but Spirit Stones are far from natural treasures, so it requires a lot of Spirit Stones.”

Saying that, Yu Yuanshan also added that he doesn’t carry Spirit Stones when he goes out.

Clearly, he wanted Zuoqiu Yiren to make some contribution.

Not wanting to let her take advantage.

”Why waste so many Spirit Stones? It’s nothing but wasteful; let me cut through it with one sword, simple enough.” Zuoqiu Yiren said, the Sword Intent in her hand growing denser.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanshan felt like spitting blood.

Seeing Zuoqiu Yiren condense her longsword, ready to break through the array.

Yu Yuanshan hurriedly said, ”I remembered! It’s possible to substitute with Spirit Stones, but Spirit Stones are far from natural treasures, so it requires a lot of Spirit Stones.”

Saying that, Yu Yuanshan also added that he doesn’t carry Spirit Stones when he goes out.

Clearly, he wanted Zuoqiu Yiren to make some contribution.
