154: An old friend is coming to the inner formation?

“Is this… the God Slaughtering Array?”

Meng Yun gazed at the enormous, inverted grand array at the edge of the sky, murmuring.

A rough inspection showed that this grand array was only stronger, not weaker, than an immortal sect's protective array!

“I always feel like there’s something inside…” Saint Xuanji murmured softly, looking at the grand array.

“It’s unclear what’s in the inner array, but the outer array is empty,” Yu Jingshen led the way, saying, “After tens of thousands of years, whatever was inside might have already been ground down by the array.”

“Better safe than sorry,” Eastern Abyss said.

Meng Yun remained silent, a hint of vigilance always in his eyes.

With Calculating Heaven and Deducing Earth activated, he would instantly know if any changes occurred within a thousand miles.

“I hope my worries are unnecessary…”

The grand array seemed distant, but with the four people’s speed, it took only a few moments to reach its base.

Even after tens of thousands of years, the entire grand array showed no signs of decay.

Faint blue light flowed, emitting a heart-pounding fluctuation.

Meng Yun released his divine sense to briefly perceive it and was slightly surprised.

In his perception, the array’s sturdiness was such that even a Tribulation Transcending mighty figure would find it difficult to break through.

And this was just the outer array!

An outer array spanning a thousand miles!

“Let’s go in.” Yu Jingshen extended his hand and released a certain energy fluctuation towards the grand array.

Only when it synchronized at a certain moment did it open a gap in the grand array.

“Good technique,” Meng Yun praised.

Before understanding the array’s principles, even he didn't know how Yu Jingshen opened the array.

“Just luck,” Yu Jingshen shook his head indifferently, not taking this operation to heart.

“The entire outer array actually provides energy for the inner array,” Yu Jingshen explained. “This space experiences beast tides periodically. The God Slaughtering Array's outer array obtains energy by killing these beasts, continuously supplying it to the inner array.”

“To use a thousand-mile array for charging, what secret does the inner array hold?” Eastern Abyss looked deep inside but found nothing.

Yu Jingshen shook his head.

“I don’t know, but I won’t open it.

I only need to activate the inner array with five rare items to gain temporary control, using it to comprehend the complete God Slaughtering Array Secret.

No matter what exists inside, I will never easily open it until I reach the Mahayana stage.”

You’d better not.

Meng Yun was expressionless.

The current Yu Jingshen was like an old general on a stage, adorned with red flags.

Generally speaking, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen soon.

But it didn't matter; as long as it wasn’t an existence above the Mahayana stage, Meng Yun was confident he could nip it in the bud.

He casually took out a string of freshly made roasted meat, casually ignited a Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace Fire, and gently heated it.

Meng Yun took a bite, his eyes narrowing in satisfaction.

If something unusual did happen later, giving himself a buff beforehand was the proper thing to do.

As for Eastern Abyss and Yu Jingshen…

Meng Yun still didn’t trust them, so he didn’t plan to let them know about the powerful buff of roasted meat, which was his trump card.

“Want a skewer?” Meng Yun offered one to Saint Xuanji.

“Ah—” Saint Xuanji looked at Meng Yun, then smiled charmingly.

She opened her small mouth, looking at Meng Yun with anticipation, waiting for him to feed her.

Meng Yun: “…”

Casually inserting the entire skewer of roasted meat into her throat, Meng Yun clapped his hands and walked away.

Saint Xuanji: orz

Who understands, my family, there was no warning at all!

Even so, Saint Xuanji dared not show the slightest bit of nausea.

Only by eating all of the roasted meat Meng Yun made could its effects be fully realized.

With hot tears, Saint Xuanji swallowed it down, and an indescribable power began to emerge in her body.

“This is…” Saint Xuanji murmured.

“Xuanji, if you don’t hurry, I’ll leave you outside!” Yu Jingshen, holding open the gap, called out to Saint Xuanji.

“Oh, coming.” Saint Xuanji came back to her senses.

The four entered, and Yu Jingshen completely closed the entrance.

Outside the grand array, the wind howled, and the sky was a bloody red.

Inside the grand array, the sky was a clear blue, and it was warm like spring.

Within a thousand miles, it was like a paradise rebuilt in ruins.

The four continued forward.

Along the way, apart from flourishing plants, there was no other animal life, which was truly strange.

“How come we haven’t seen a single animal?” Eastern Abyss couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

“I don’t know, it’s been like this since I first came in,” Yu Jingshen shook his head, equally puzzled.

“Perhaps they’ve gone extinct,” Meng Yun observed for a while, then said leisurely.

“Extinct?” Saint Xuanji had absolute faith in Meng Yun and asked, “How can you tell?”

Meng Yun casually pointed at a small tree: “Look at the direction it’s bending.”

Everyone looked in that direction.

It was just an ordinary tree; if there was anything different, it was probably that its bending direction was towards the center of the grand array.

That posture was as if it was longing, worshipping, chasing…

Looking further into the distance, it wasn't just this small tree; all the flowers, grasses, and towering trees, without exception, were all leaning towards the very center of the grand array.

One could imagine that if they had roots with feet, they would rush towards the inner array without hesitation, like moths to a flame.

And the consequence of touching the inner array without protection was instant refinement, turning into the purest energy source for the grand array.

Saint Xuanji came back to her senses, sensing carefully for a moment: “Indeed, I faintly feel a summoning force. If my strength hadn’t reached the Integration stage, I might truly lose control of my mind and sacrifice myself to the center of the grand array.”

Eastern Abyss and Yu Jingshen were silent for a moment.

The array was not a good array.

“Hahahahahahaha, why think so much?” Yu Jingshen chuckled, “I’ve been here seven or eight times, and nothing has happened…”

Before he finished speaking, a sudden wind arose, and no matter which direction a person stood, the wind’s destination always pointed to the ultimate center.

Between heaven and earth, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.

It was as if some existence was specifically inviting everyone to go there.

Or perhaps…

This existence was only inviting one of the four people.

Who could it be?

First, exclude Yu Jingshen, who had been here seven or eight times; at most, he was just a catalyst.

Yu Jingshen: “Bah, bah, bah!”

Just as he spoke, it happened. Where would he put his old face!

“Let’s go, it seems someone here is welcoming our arrival.”

Meng Yun took the lead and stepped forward.

No matter what kind of ghosts or monsters, Meng Yun would never be surprised.

After all, he had undergone countless professional training.

Seeing Meng Yun looking so reliable, the three exchanged glances and silently followed.

In terms of theoretical combat power, Meng Yun might be the weakest.

But if they were to fight for real, perhaps even the three of them combined wouldn’t be a match for Meng Yun in a single exchange.

Lin Xiao was killed in one strike; how much stronger could they be than Lin Xiao?!

With such thoughts, the four soon arrived at the edge of the inner array.

“Strange, there wasn’t this room inside before…”

Yu Jingshen’s faint words slowly came out.

But no one paid attention.

Meng Yun’s gaze burned as he stared at the small house within the inner array, a sudden storm raging in his heart.

Because.

The design of this house was exactly the same as his own residence in Jinguan City, Changli Dynasty, on the border of White Tiger Heaven!

What’s going on?!!
