Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

”Awake now? Good, good to be awake.”

Actually, Quan Xiaotong felt quite awkward too, after all, he was the one who led this situation.

But there was really no other way, many places in the Central Continent needed Han Yu; he absolutely could not fall into trouble.

Even after using the chicken feather gall, there was still no movement after two days, which forced them to take action.

Little did they expect such a huge misunderstanding to arise.

Fortunately, everything returned to its normal course.

Normal? At this moment, Han Yu’s gaze at him was filled with peculiarity; perhaps it was the first time he felt Quan Xiaotong was so frivolous!

Daring to carry out such an act.

”Next time, don’t act so recklessly, what are you working so hard for?”

Quan Xiaotong sighed helplessly. From his perspective, it truly wasn’t worth trying so hard under the unknown circumstances of the Celestial Dao Sect.

He misunderstood, thinking Han Yu was such a person, which was really absurd.

However, the matter of his divine techniques losing control was even more absurd.

After Han Yu briefly explained the reason, Quan Xiaotong fell into silence, speechless for a long time.

”So, you have latent dangers now, and need to quickly compensate for other divine techniques, don’t you?”

Suddenly, Quan Xiaotong lifted his gaze with a thoughtful expression and spoke.

”Not entirely a risk, the power when divine techniques are combined is terrifying.”

Han Yu half-nodded, half-shook his head, much like before, the Dharma Aspect of Phoenix Perching on the Wutong could explosively enhance the Fire Divine Power, Phoenix Dancing in the Nine Heavens could even compete with cultivators of Walking the Dao.

If his physical body were stronger, the power of the combined divine techniques could be even more exaggerated.

”I understand; the Central Continent will fully support the search.”

Quan Xiaotong had always been generous in matters that could enhance Han Yu’s abilities, which was well-known.

Therefore, Han Yu dared not say he could fulfill every request, but whatever Quan Xiaotong asked of him, he seldom refused.

”By the way, what happened to those people?”

Han Yu remembered Su Xiaoxiao’s group; how did things turn out afterward?

”Lei Wang died, and the other four escaped.”

At this time, Chasing Soul interjected, when they found Han Yu, Su Xiaoxiao’s group was still anxious to find the array eye, so they just had him bring Han Yu back.

Not only did they leave, but Liu Zongyuan and Wang Xingzhi also left, and the remaining few in the Initial Realm were left here for treatment.

Chasing Soul couldn’t help but sigh after saying this, he hadn’t expected the dignified Five Envoys of Bilu to be beaten so severely, it seemed the Celestial Dao Sect might not necessarily be weaker than Yama Hall.

”Indeed.”

Chasing Soul remembered one more thing and added, ”Su Xiaoxiao asked me to convey, Fellow Daoist Han, if interested, could meet with them in the Western Territory.”

Meeting naturally meant joining forces to find the array eye, originally pulling him in might have been for a mutual stance against Lei Wang and others, at this moment bringing him in held a different meaning.

Chasing Soul said likewise, ”Tut tut, Fellow Daoist, you can address fellow cultivators as ’Daoist’ now.”

”It’s just a title, don’t make a fuss.”

Han Yu waved his hand, a complete illiterate in the Cultivator Realm, unaware of the underlying nuances.

Chasing Soul explained with a grin, ”You need to know that in the world of the strong, there are usually only five types: ants, juniors, young friends, fellow Daoists, seniors.”

The fact they were addressing each other as ’Daoist’ indicated Su Xiaoxiao already regarded Han Yu as an equal.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have asked Chasing Soul to relay that message, Lei Wang was dead, the remaining four of the Five Envoys of Bilu were said to be injured, they were no longer a threat.

This time bringing Han Yu might genuinely be a plan to scheme against Yama Hall.

Of course, whether to go or not remained Han Yu’s decision.

However, Han Yu still turned to Quan Xiaotong, he wanted to hear what Quan Xiaotong had to say.

After all, Quan Xiaotong was known for his brilliant intellect; before the Yama Hall surfaced, didn’t the Cultivator Realm have him step in one step at a time?

In the Fifth Tower, the Investigation Department wasn’t initially the largest, yet it gradually became dominant through his strategy, so Quan Xiaotong’s opinion was extremely important.

He didn’t disappoint Han Yu. As a group returned to the hall, the giant map had been taken down, replaced by a huge sand table; surprisingly, such major changes had occurred in a short amount of time.

”Help from the Mo Family, not very convenient to use a map for simulations.”

Quan Xiaotong explained while walking to the sand table, the mountains and rivers appeared remarkably lifelike, and quite a few markers had been placed on them, with several blue dots standing out.

”These blue dots are areas currently centralizing for refuge in the Central Continent.”

The areas concentrated around the Northern Border, and then there were occasional blue regions in other areas, as Yama Hall didn’t have an array base in every state prefecture.

At present, apart from not knowing how many array bases remained, the biggest problem was the array eye.

Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t the only one searching; they hadn’t relaxed either.

”Actually, aimless searching like the Celestial Dao Sect isn’t suitable.”

Though his strength was lacking, in terms of strategy, Quan Xiaotong believed he wouldn’t lose to anyone else.

In his view, Su Xiaoxiao’s method of relying entirely on guesswork might at most yield half the result with double the effort, at worst, no results at all.

”Although array bases are rare in the Western Territory, theoretically, it’s possible for the array eye to exist.”

”But...”

Quan Xiaotong paused, pointing at the numerous intersecting red dots on the sand table.

Theoretically, there was another possibility; with so many array bases creating a formation covering the entire Central Continent, it might even require sacrificial methods.

Sacrifice initially appeared in tribal times, primarily to enhance the power of totems.

If these altars operated under the same principle, sacrificing lives, how would this power affect the grand array? An array eye would be necessary, and its role would likely be to connect all this power.

Quan Xiaotong explained his speculation while trying to find the points of convergence for all the red dots.

”Is it possible that all the array bases gather to one place, not necessarily overlapping at a specific point?”

Chasing Soul suddenly chimed in, because if this were the case, the array eye could appear anywhere, fitting Yama Hall’s mystical and unpredictable style.

”My intuition tells me, it’s unlikely.”

Though Quan Xiaotong spoke from a whimsical intuition, his tone carried certainty.

Perhaps Yama Hall could be unpredictable elsewhere, but not here.

”If I were to set up this grand array, under the same conditions, I would definitely choose the method I mentioned.”

Why?

”Because I would obsessively want this grand array to... be more beautiful, isn’t it a work of the one setting the array?”

Quan Xiaotong spoke with an extremely peculiar expression, as if stepping into the role.

”So, I’m not making blind guesses, I just need to gamble on whether the opponent is like-minded.”

The people present stared at him with wide eyes, their faces filled with intrigue.

For as they listened to this, they gradually came to believe in Quan Xiaotong, it was quite absurd.

Especially Chasing Soul, he glanced at the middle-aged scholar, his heart rising with a sense of absurdity.

If... if this guy lived as an old monster for thousands of years, who knows if he wouldn’t also be a mastermind behind the scenes.

”I must admit, this generation of the Central Continent is full of prodigies!”

Chasing Soul expressed a heartfelt sentiment.

One of them was Han Yu, a terrifyingly imaginative Mo Xiuwen, and Quan Xiaotong, undoubtedly many others yet to shine.

Sadly, they were born into a bad era, or perhaps precisely because of this, the Central Continent birthed these prodigies...

Quan Xiaotong’s speculations continued, with both good and bad news.

Good news: If these connections can be established, it’s very likely to identify the array eye.

Bad news: Once the array bases are linked, Yama Hall might have already completed their schemes.

”Can we begin searching for the array bases, ahead of Yama Hall?”

Han Yu interjected, if they could gain an advantage, there was still hope.

Unexpectedly, Quan Xiaotong had already arranged this long ago.

”The Great Elder of Piaomiao Sect and Wu Seng set out several days ago.”

With vast steps and universal mourning, traversing the Central Continent is not difficult, neither is survival.

”Rather, you, if possible, I really wish you were stronger.”

Quan Xiaotong looked at Han Yu, expressing a sentiment.
