My Silly, Sweet Wife

Just now, Xiang Yun hadn’t even looked closely at the pillar, but upon a glance now, he noticed it was different from what he had seen before, carved with many runes.

Moreover, as he continued to observe, he fell into a star domain.

At the same time, Ye Guichen also found himself amidst a sea of stars.

He was the first to enter and heard a sound as elegant as poetry.

As Ye Chen observed further, he quickly associated these stars with the Nine Star Trigram Array.

The nine stars are: Greedy Wolf, Giant Gate, Luck Keeper, Authority 文, Chaste, Kai Wu, Army Breaker,洞明, Hidden 元.

The nine stars gleam remotely, combining with the Eight Trigrams Array to form a Nine Star Eight Trigrams Array.

Having found the secret of the array, Ye Guichen quickly located the nine stars.

However, merely finding the nine stars might not be enough to break this mechanism.

It still requires the correct sequence.

Each array has a life gate and a death gate.

If the sequence is incorrect, finding the death gate might still lead to a dead end.

Moreover, since the opponent could pull his soul into this star chart, such power is far beyond ordinary people.

If he accidentally selects the wrong star, his soul could be annihilated, with no place to even cry.

Thinking this through, Ye Guichen instead became calm, sitting cross-legged, harnessing his soul power.

As Ye Guichen harnessed his soul power, his form slowly expanded, soon reaching a height of a hundred feet, shining like a star among stars.

More oddly, those stars couldn’t even match the size of Ye Guichen’s fist.

This time, looking at the stars again, Ye Guichen felt as if he was revisiting planets as a god, and these stars seemed like clay toys.

The trajectories of the nine stars were clearly presented in front of Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen reached out and gathered the nine stars into his hand.

As the last star fell into Ye Guichen’s hand, the entire space seemed to explode at once, emitting a rumbling sound.

Ye Guichen felt his sight blur, and his body seemingly extracted by something, reopening his eyes, he was still standing before the pillar.

However, looking at the pillar now, it had changed its appearance.

Moreover, Ye Guichen could see Wen Ya and Xiang Yun, who were panicking and running around like headless flies.

Their stars had already collapsed, plummeting towards them like meteors.

Despite their attempts to dodge, the surroundings were void, fearing they would soon be hit and turned to dust.

”Come out!”

Ye Guichen raised his hand, gently grabbing.

The stars seemed to be influenced by some force, halting directly.

Wen Ya and Xiang Yun also seemed to be drawn by some force, returning to their bodies instantaneously.

”Help! Help!”

Xiang Yun was still struggling and shouting.

Wen Ya was the first to react, suddenly looking up, realizing they were back before the pillar.

What’s going on?

Wen Ya, confused, heard Xiang Yun’s cries and turned to look at him.

”Senior Brother, are you alright?” At this time, Chen Liu also noticed something was amiss, grabbing Xiang Yun’s arm, ”What’s wrong, what’s wrong Brother?”

Hearing Chen Liu’s voice, Xiang Yun collected himself, realizing the falling stars were gone.

”Was it an illusion?” Xiang Yun quickly looked around, seeing Ye Guichen smiling at him, and Wen Ya also watching him, feeling both shocked and delighted, ”Senior Sister, you’re awake?”

”Did you also enter the star chart?” Wen Ya frowned and asked.

”Star chart? What star chart?” Xiang Yun expressed his confusion.

Wen Ya explained, ”From what I understand, that star chart should be the key to unraveling the secret mechanism, but the star chart is too complex, and as soon as I touched one star, the entire starry sky collapsed, I thought I wouldn’t get out.”

”What? Was I astral projecting just now?” Hearing Wen Ya’s explanation, Xiang Yun broke into a cold sweat.

He had casually touched a star in the star domain, and as a result, the entire space began to collapse.

He thought he was dreaming.

”Then how did we get out?” Xiang Yun questioned in disbelief.

Wen Ya pondered, looked at Ye Guichen, ”Did you help us out?”

”What? Senior Sister, what are you talking about? It’s impossible.” Xiang Yun immediately denied it, thinking Wen Ya had an inexplicable confidence in Ye Guichen’s abilities.

Ye Guichen smiled without answering, but said, ”I’ll send you out first!”

He said, raising his hand, touching a position on the pillar in front of him.

Rumble!

Oddly, the stone slab under Wen Ya and the others’ feet started to rise slowly, and as they ascended, a fissure opened above the Eight Trigrams room.

As the fissure opened, Wen Ya and the others seemed to be in an elevator, directly returning to the ground.

Returning to the ground, the three still felt as if dreaming.

”Senior Sister, what just happened?” Xiang Yun’s face was still filled with disbelief.

Wenya’s expression was complex as she spoke, ”That Ye Guichen must have already comprehended this mechanism array.”

”What? How could that be possible?” Xiang Yun, although aware of Ye Guichen’s high cultivation, couldn’t help feeling discontent.

Being surpassed by Ye Guichen, who comprehended the mechanism array in just half a day, struck a blow to him.

Wenya smiled wryly, ”Our Qianji Sect has a rule that whoever comprehends this Kunlun array will lead the Qianji Sect. It seems we need a new Sect Leader now.”

”A new Sect Leader?” Xiang Yun was originally quite opposed to Ye Guichen comprehending the Kunlun array but suddenly brightened up.

Since Ye Guichen is destined to become the Sect Leader, he’s bound to clash with the current Sect Leader.

The current Sect Leader, posing as a puppet and regarded as their martial uncle, even transformed the little junior brother and likely harbors many insidious schemes.

This kind of person does not deserve to be the Sect Leader.

This time the Sect Leader sends their martial uncle along with the little junior brother Chen Liu, possibly to supervise them.

But unexpectedly, the situation developed far beyond imagination.

Given this, when it’s time, let Ye Guichen and the Sect Leader contend against each other while they stand by and observe; wouldn’t it be wonderful?

”Senior sister, why are we still hesitating? Let’s quickly welcome the new Sect Leader back!” Xiang Yun suddenly changed his former attitude.

Wenya was taken aback, surprised by Xiang Yun’s sudden change of tone, ”Are you okay?”

”Hehe, what’s wrong with me?” Xiang Yun laughed, ”Since it’s Elder Qianji’s word, we naturally should listen. Moreover, we are fully aware of the current Sect Leader’s character. With someone like Ye Guichen, who can rival the Flood Dragon King, our Qianji Sect might just have a chance to soar.”

Wenya cast an unexpected look at Xiang Yun, nodded silently in approval, ”It’s good to see you think this way. In that case, we’ll wait here for the new Sect Leader to emerge and bring the new Sect Leader back to Qianji Sect.”

Then, Wenya crossed her legs on the spot, starting to cultivate.

Xiang Yun silently sat down as well, a smile of successful plotting creeping at the corner of his mouth.

Chen Liu, on the other hand, looked baffled, completely unable to understand what his senior brother and sister were saying.

But in any case, following what senior brother and sister said must be right.

Then, he too sat down, waiting for Ye Guichen to emerge.

Although Ye Guichen broke the star disk, completely mastering the sprawling Kunlun array was not easy.

The star disk merely served as a rough blueprint.

The specific details required constant exploration.

To avoid interruption, Ye Guichen naturally had to send Wenya and the others out.

Once he sent them out, Ye Guichen began studying the Kunlun array.

With deeper study, Ye Guichen was awed by Elder Qianji’s methods and wisdom.

The scale of the Kunlun array was even larger than Ye Guichen imagined.

The central pillar is the foundation, while the surrounding eight pillars represent the meaning of the Eight Trigrams.

The saying goes, one begets two, two begets four, and from four arises all things.

The Eight Trigrams evolve from these.

After the sixty-four derived from eight by eight, it continuously extends.

The eight pillars each connect to eight mechanisms, known as sub-mechanisms.

And under the sub-mechanisms, more sub-mechanisms are connected.

With layers upon layers of connections, it eventually extends to thousands of mechanisms.

The scale is unimaginably large.

Yet fundamentally, controlling these nine pillars can maneuver the entire Northern North Desolation.

Seven days later, corpses lay across the Northern North Desolation’s borders.

The death toll among the beasts accumulated to tens of thousands.

Even among a hundred-thousand-strong army, many perished.

Though the pursuit was only of those beasts, many formidable half-demons and demons were among them.

Especially under the Flood Dragon King’s command, many demons fought fiercely, slaying numerous troops of the Daqian Dynasty.

Moreover, disagreements arose between the Daqian Dynasty and the Xuantian Sect people.

According to Ye Guichen’s intentions, those major demons could be eradicated, but there was no need to slay ordinary beasts; it was enough to drive them away.

Because as these beasts improve in cultivation, they can gradually evolve into stronger beasts.

This way, it could also provide more and higher quality Demon Cores.

In Ye Guichen’s view, these beasts are the cornerstone of human cultivation.

With beasts providing Demon Cores, their cultivation speed will increase rapidly.

Yet, the Xuantian Sect wished to slay all beasts.

For they had grown to deeply resent the beasts, especially after a Golden Eagle Demon killed their elder, further fueling their furious wrath.

”Elder Tian, we have conveyed Mr. Ye’s intentions, but you persist in slaughtering beasts, which seems unsuitable, doesn’t it?” Looking at the ground strewn with beast corpses, Chen Liangce frowned in displeasure.

Feng Zhuo’s face turned icy, ready to act at any moment.

Elder Tian, named Tian Changrong, the Xuantian Sect’s First Elder, had been very close to the elder killed by the Golden Eagle.

This time, Tian Changrong led a hundred Xuantian Sect disciples to exterminate the beasts.

Tian Changrong snorted coldly, angry, ”Beasts and our Xuantian Sect cannot coexist under the same sky. If not completely annihilating them, how could I face the deceased disciples of Xuantian Sect? Face the deceased elders?”
