Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

”We just need your array to remain in the skies of the Central Continent for a while.”

Jiang Xinyuan’s words undoubtedly confirmed Jiu You’s speculation.

In an instant, several of the powerful figures simultaneously paused, unable to resist looking over this way.

It seemed that Jiang Xinyuan’s words held a lot of information.

Jiu You, however, began to ponder thoughtfully, furrowing his brows and continuing to speculate.

”Do you want us to weaken the power of the heavens and earth in the Central Continent, or rather, the Heavenly Dao?”

As these words were spoken, even the Sect Leaders of the Central Continent couldn’t help but halt?

What terrifying thing had they heard?

Weaken the power of the heavens and earth and the Heavenly Dao of the Central Continent?

So, Yama Hall’s target is the Heavenly Dao?

At this moment, Xia Wuyou was already aghast, as these matters are undeniably enough to overturn a cultivator’s Dao heart in the Central Continent.

What is the Heavenly Dao?

In the Central Continent, it is the supreme existence; how could anyone dare to attack it?

Or rather, how could anyone have the means to attack it?

And in fact, from instances like these that have occurred, it seems they have succeeded.

”Yes, and no.”

Jiang Xinyuan shook his head; in a sense, Jiu You wasn’t wrong.

The Celestial Dao Sect indeed needs Yama Hall to massively weaken the power of the Heavenly Dao in the Central Continent; Yama’s array requires a large number of souls, and the loss of these souls can directly impact the Heavenly Dao.

But that’s just one part of it.

The most important objective...

”We want to know if the Heavenly Dao of the Central Continent still exists, so we naturally need cannon fodder to test the waters first!”

With a mocking expression, Jiang Xinyuan slowly spoke.

The grand Yama Hall, and yet to him, it’s just cannon fodder stepping into the minefields.

Indeed, their primary purpose is to ensure the plan is more perfect by confirming whether the Heavenly Dao of the Central Continent has truly disappeared.

Or, whether the Heavenly Dao of the Central Continent has the ability to resist the Yama Hall.

If it can, their Celestial Dao Sect can timely modify the plan.

If not, then what Yama Hall can do, their Celestial Dao Sect can naturally do as well.

Jiu You’s face turned ugly, especially since the word ”cannon fodder” was terribly jarring, but his expression quickly changed again.

Has the Heavenly Dao of the Central Continent disappeared?

They didn’t even know about this, so from the beginning, the Celestial Dao Sect possessed more information than they did?

”So now you don’t need us anymore, and want to destroy the array?”

Jiu You’s face was livid, feeling as if Yama Hall was just making wedding clothes for the opponent.

”Wrong again.”

Jiang Xinyuan’s mocking expression became even more pronounced.

”We still need your array, but it will no longer be under your control.”

He glanced at Golden Cicada and then gave a cold smile, ”We will create an identical array ourselves, whether the Heavenly Dao is gone or not, restraints must still exist.”

As for Yama Hall?

They’ll probably retreat along with their holy artifact back to their own pathetic place!

Hearing this, Jiu You was already infuriated and was about to strike immediately; however, Jiang Xinyuan teased.

”Ha! It’s too late already! Even if you strike now, it’s in vain.”

Once his words fell, both of their gazes turned towards the Golden Cicada lying on the array, whose massive mouthpart had somehow recovered and was deeply embedded in the array, continuously absorbing power.

As power continued to flow in, the Golden Cicada’s body began to quiver increasingly, clearly overwhelmed by the tremendous burden of such massive power suddenly entering its body.

The continuous chirping of the cicada echoed, at times mournful, at times violent.

Yet it couldn’t control itself; even though the pain it brought was unimaginable, it could only helplessly continue to absorb the power.

”You all...”

Jiu You’s expression was complicated; such a ruthless method was indeed impressive, having buried this covert seed for thousands of years just to use it at this moment.

”What meticulous care!”

He sighed slowly.

This move indeed meant Yama Hall had lost!

The Celestial Dao Sect had planned thousands of years ago on how to counter their array; what else could be done!

”Pity, this Golden Cicada Dharma Aspect is ultimately unsatisfactory; there’s an old saying our fourth elder didn’t get wrong, Central Continent is indeed a magical place.”

Jiang Xinyuan spoke slowly, shaking his head as he looked towards the direction of Golden Cicada.

It was originally created as a measure, only to gradually discover the Dharma Aspect’s potential in the Central Continent was far better than expected; it even autonomously grew stronger.

The restraining power against Yama Hall began to infuse from a certain past lifetime, intending to create a Dharma Aspect to counter Yama Hall’s various methods.

However, the results were unsatisfactory; after accepting the restraining power of the Dharma Aspect, it could no longer accept others; after accepting other restraining powers, it couldn’t accept the original restraining power.

This might be due to the inherent limitations of Golden Cicada, or perhaps an issue with the rules of the Central Continent.

No matter how it was handled, it always fell short.

Fortunately, the essence of the Golden Cicada Dharma Aspect was created by blending various ruthless and destructive negative energies, with a vicious nature that was part of their initial design to disrupt the array.

Restoring Golden Cicada to its original nature would allow it to destroy Yama Hall’s most crucial setup.

”If he were perfect, he might have been spared today.”

But with such significant defects, the Dharma Aspect must meet its end as a tool!

At this moment, the mournful cry of the Golden Cicada Dharma Aspect reached its peak, its abdomen continuously cracking open, gradually revealing a dormant figure wrapped within.

Yi Xian’s eyes were tightly closed, a pained expression occasionally crossing his face, his entire body trembling as if enduring immense torment.

”Let’s end this.”

Jiang Xinyuan waved his hand, it was time for the dust to settle.

”If you want to fight, you can continue; if not...”

His expression was infinitely playful; even if one didn’t wish to, he had no intention of sparing the other.

Jiu You naturally knew, having descended already, that the Celestial Dao Sect would hardly let him leave easily.

As if thunder erupted, the wind howled fiercely, and in the next moment, Jiu You eventually struck, but not toward Jiang Xinyuan; rather, it was aimed at Golden Cicada.

One last gamble!

The boundless gust whipped up, the powerful pressure making the surrounding air almost solidify.

Of course, even more terrifying was a Dharma Aspect nearly two hundred feet tall suddenly appearing.

Everything below seemed tiny, the Dharma Aspect moved, its fist like rolling thunder, carrying the might to crush the heavens and earth.

Jiang Xinyuan also made his move, flashing before Jiu You, his Dharma Aspect suddenly materializing at a hundred and fifty feet.

”You can’t stop me.”

Jiu You hissed, the disparity in the Dharma Aspects was sufficiently obvious.

But the other party laughed mockingly, ”Big doesn’t necessarily mean strong; didn’t your senior ever tell you?”

”Then let’s test it!”

Jiu You dared not waste words, his offensive suddenly erupting like the crash of heavenly thunder, the shockwave raising a fearsome wave that swept across the vast void.

Miles of land bore the marks of their exchange, and cultivators retreated in all directions, forcing the cultivators of the Central Continent back by miles.

”What about Han Yu?”

Xia Wuyou was anxious, having not seen Han Yu, worrying something might have gone wrong, he hurriedly grabbed Wu Seng to ask.

Wu Seng looked helpless; Han Yu had notified them before rushing forward.

”He told us to retreat, from now on this is the arena of these giants, staying will only make us fodder.”

This was indeed the truth; things progressing to this point seemed like the grassroots forces could no longer change anything.

Now only these high-level forces were vying over the array, going up would be futile.

Xia Wuyou actually still wanted to stay and help a bit; he knew Han Yu wouldn’t really leave.

In fact, Han Yu was indeed still nearby.

But he was in a staring contest with Yuan Rong.

”Eat or not?”
