Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1997  Chapter 962: Origins

Mo Hua focused and looked more closely.

The prince in the dragon coffin had a face different from Yu Erʼs. Though equally youthful, it carried an innate dignity, unlike Yu Erʼs gentle cuteness.

Yet their brows and eyes looked very similar.

Why?

Why does he resemble Yu Er a bit?

Mo Hua frowned slightly.

”Is Yu Er a prince of the Great Wilderness?”

”Or does he have the bloodline of the Great Wilderness royal family?”

”But thatʼs not right...” Mo Hua was puzzled, ”Yu Er is clearly a child of the Shangguan and Wenren families, how could he be related to the Great Wilderness?”

On the other side, upon seeing the prince in the dragon coffin, Shen Tuaoʼs emotions suddenly trembled.

”Yeʼer...”

Shen Tuao murmured softly.

Ancient memories, like old bitter wine, trickled back through his mind.

The calamity that befell the Great Wilderness royal family, the separation of flesh and blood.

Over the years, his kin had dwindled, wandering everywhere, even at the cost of royal dignity, becoming a Demon Cultivator, playing along with the traitors, living a life neither human nor ghost. The hardships, despair, and helplessness shook his mind, stirring his emotions.

Now, at last, he saw his closest kin, saw his brother.

Even though his only brother was already dead.

Reduced to a cold corpse lying in this out-of-the-world dragon coffin.

Shen Tuaoʼs hands trembled, wanting to touch the prince in the dragon coffin, whom he called ”Yeʼer.”

But suddenly, a bloody sword light slashed through the air, striking his arm.

The sword light was formidable, but Shen Tuao had the Dragon Pattern protecting him, so it didnʼt harm him, not even breaking the skin.

Still, the sudden change made Shen Tuaoʼs expression pause.

He turned his head, looking at Young Master Xuan holding the sword, and said coldly: ”What do you mean?”

Young Master Xuan met Shen Tuaoʼs dragon-like gaze, feeling a brief chill in his heart, but his eyes flashed, dispelling that fear, and he chuckled:

”I want to ask the Third Prince for something.”

”What?” Shen Tuaoʼs voice was deep, intimidating without anger.

Young Master Xuanʼs eyes gleamed, ”I want... Prince Yeʼs body.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Hua was taken aback.

Shen Tuaoʼs eyes turned red, fury bursting forth, exuding a chilling killing intent.

Young Master Xuan, overwhelmed by his aura, couldnʼt help but step back. Then, upon realizing, he felt a bit annoyed, mobilized his Demonic Qi, gathering in his eyes, and confronted Shen Tuao.

Although he was at a disadvantage in cultivation, by leveraging the subtleties of ”Planting Devil in Taoist Heart,” Young Master Xuan resisted Shen Tuaoʼs authority, indifferently saying:

”Prince Ao, donʼt you want to revive the Great Wilderness? Donʼt you want to restore the royal family?”

That sentence seemed to awaken Shen Tuao.

Too much had been sacrificed for the Great Wilderness royal familyʼs grand cause, so some humiliation had to be endured.

Otherwise, just for coveting Yeʼer, he wouldʼve acted against Young Master Xuan by now.

Shen Tuao slowly gathered his killing intent, ”The royal heritage of the Great Wilderness Dragon Vein, I can pass a portion to you.”

”Thatʼs what the Demon Gate wants, but not what I want,” Young Master Xuan said.

”What do you want?”

”Iʼve told you, I want Prince Yeʼs body.”

Shen Tuaoʼs gaze was cold.

Young Master Xuan smirked slightly, then said: ”The Demon Gate is the Demon Gate, and I am me. I took a risk for the Demon Gate, so naturally, I have my own little requests.”

”Iʼll give you one more chance, think it over carefully,” Shen Tuao said calmly.

Young Master Xuan shook his head, ”Prince Yeʼs body, I am determined to get it.”

Shen Tuaoʼs Dragon Pattern appeared around him, Blood Qi surging, looking at Young Master Xuan indifferently, with a hint of mockery in his cold gaze:

”What makes you think you have the right to speak to me like this? What qualifies you to make such a rude request to me? With your paltry ʼPlanting Devil in Taoist Heartʼ?”

”You do realize, with a flick of my hand, I could crush you?” Shen Tuaoʼs Dragon Pattern flickered, killing intent fierce.

Mo Hua was also deeply puzzled.

This Young Master Xuan didnʼt seem like a fool, so why dare to make such a bold demand of Shen Tuao, this Late Golden Core Stage, bearer of the Evil Dragonʼs power, Demon Sect leader, and Great Wilderness Prince?

What does he rely on?

Can he use Planting Devil in Taoist Heart on Shen Tuao?

Impossible... even I donʼt have that ability.

Is it by relying on Mr. Hui, Shitou, and me, a small Foundation Establishment?

To fight Shen Tuao?

Thatʼs impossible too...

Even ten Mr. Huis combined with me wouldnʼt be a match for Shen Tuao.

Mo Hua was a Formation Master, he had seen with his own eyes, and understood better than anyone, the power of Shen Tuaoʼs Four Symbols Evil Dragon Formation.

What exactly does this Young Master Xuan rely on?

While Mo Hua was puzzled, Young Master Xuan smiled lightly, looking at Elder Bear Pi, who remained silent, and with a hint of temptation in his voice, asked:

”Do you want to be a ʼbear,ʼ or a ʼdragonʼ?”

Elder Bear Pi was taken aback, and Shen Tuaoʼs gaze sharpened.

Young Master Xuan looked at Shen Tuao, speaking to Elder Bear Pi: ”As long as you kill him, all those Dragon Patterns will be yours.”

Elder Bear Pi remained silent.

Young Master Xuan smiled at him: ”You are not from the Great Wilderness clan, you are not even from the Great Wilderness itself.”

”Donʼt think I donʼt know, you monster cultivators, the cultivation techniques you practice, the Monster Patterns you nurture, are just wedding dresses for others, to breed a formation that can truly ʼtransform into a dragon.ʼ”

”You, as an elder, are nothing but a consumable.”

”Are you willingly going to spend your whole life as a bear, unquestioningly obeying others? Donʼt you want to be a true dragon for once?”
