Blackie spread out its claws and said, “I don’t know! I went to meet Han Xue. Before I left, I saw Ye Manman, the master of the House of Enchanteurs on Hoth.”
Zhang Ruochen covered his forehead and sighed. He said, “The master personally went to visit the disciple of the Master of the Avīci Pavilion. Didn’t you go back to check it out?”
Blackie was stunned for a moment and said, “Yes! You’re right… Well, why don’t I go and ask Han Xue now? No, I can’t go out! What should I do?”
Zhang Ruochen calmed down and said, “You said Han Xue came to Enchanton?
“Of course. The most important mission of the Avīci Pavilion is to rescue the Nephilim Island’s master. And Hoth is the most important place to set up and manage after the rescue.
“It can be said that on Hoth, apart from the Hoth Palace, the Avīci Pavilion is definitely a top-notch force. They even have their influence in the Enchanteur Chamber.
“So, what happened in Enchanton can’t be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Avīci Pavilion.
“I heard that something happened to you. How could Han Xue not come?” Blackie said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I have a bold guess. The actions of the Enchanteur Chamber are most likely not aimed at me but at the Tensho Compa.s.s!”
Hearing this, Blackie gasped and said, “Is the Enchanteur Chamber so bold?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Other cultivators in the Enchanteur Chamber may not be so bold, but Bai Qing’er is. What do you think of this woman’s cultivation?”
“Her cultivation is quite high, but she is not as high as Wuma Jiuxing,” Blackie said seriously, which was rare.
Zhang Ruochen said, “But I think there are traces of Wuma Jiuxing’s moves, while Bai Qing’er gives me an unfathomable feeling.”
Blackie was stunned and said, “Do you think Bai Qing’er is stronger than Wuma Jiuxing?”
“It’s just a feeling. My cultivation is not high enough to see through the level of these powerhouses. Also, it makes me wary. The Seven-Armed Elder could escape from the pursuit of a pseudo G.o.d, but Bai Qing’er almost killed him,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Blackie patted Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder with its paw and said, “You have suffered too much at the hands of women, so you are too cautious.”
Zhang Ruochen did not dare to underestimate his opponent as Blackie did. He had suffered enough at the hands of Bai Qing’er. He said, “Although Bai Qing’er was born in the Enchanteur Chamber, her courage and boldness are the only ones I have ever seen, except for the G.o.ds.
“In the Divine Domain of Destiny, she dared to target the strongest side of the Seven-Armed Elder and set up a bet. She almost won the bet.
“The five superior-grade Divine Crystals of Origin guarded by 17 major forces were most likely stolen by her.
“She even used the Adjudication Division to deal with me.
“Thandee, Lord Huanxu, Cang Baizi, and Lord Ironclad all have a major force backing them. Yet, she dares to enslave these top-notch Supreme Saints.
“Thinking about it, it makes one shudder. It’s as if Bai Qing’er has all the major forces in the entire Infernal Court in her hands. Most importantly, all the major forces are still looking down on her. They don’t even treat her as a top figure. That’s the scariest part.”
Blackie’s sharp beak opened and closed twice, “Now that you mention it, this woman is extremely daring. There’s really nothing she wouldn’t dare to do. But why would she want to take the Tensho Compa.s.s? That is a divine artifact. Once it’s lost, the Fane of Destiny will fly into a rage. Although G.o.ds can’t interfere with the secular world, the power of those below divinity of the Fane of Destiny is also extraordinary. No force can compare to it.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “As far as I know, the Fane of Destiny has eliminated many dark forces with the guidance of the Tensho Compa.s.s. The top ten dark forces have all suffered significant losses because of it. In the past, some of the dark forces listed in the top ten were even completely wiped out.
“Maybe the Enchanteur Chamber doesn’t dare to make a move on the Tensho Compa.s.s.
“But what if the top 10 dark forces join hands?”
Blackie said, “The Tensho Compa.s.s is big trouble for the dark forces. They are in constant fear. The Fane of Destiny’s influence is at its weakest now that all the G.o.ds have gone to the Jadeite Realm. They might really make a move.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled. “In Bai Qing’er’s eyes, I’m far from qualified to be her opponent. The only reason she wants to deal with me is the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin.”
“Since Whitey has put all her focus into the Tensho Compa.s.s, won’t we be able to escape easily?” Blackie laughed.
“Even if Bai Qing’er takes action, she’ll definitely wait until she catches me. If I were her…” said Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and carefully guessed Bai Qing’er’s thoughts. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said, “If I were her, I would definitely kill two birds with one stone. At the same time, I would seize the Tensho Compa.s.s and frame everything on the Heavenly Realm.”
“Why Heavenly Realm?” Blackie asked curiously.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Isn’t the reason why the Enchanteur Chamber sealed off the Enchanton to capture the cultivators of the Heavenly Realm? Perhaps Bai Qing’er had already predicted that the Fane of Destiny would activate the Tensho Compa.s.s. If I’m not mistaken, The cultivators of the Heaven Realm who want to kill me must have contacted Bai Qing’er. It’s even possible that they’ve already reached Hoth.”
Blackie paced back and forth in the room. After a long while, he said, “If your guess is correct, then this Whitey is indeed a ruthless character. She’s playing a big game of chess. How can you win against others? There’s no other way. I can’t hide anymore. I’m also laying my cards on the table!”
“What are you talking about?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Blackie pointed at Zhang Ruochen with its paw and said, “Just hear me out! Actually, I’m also a Hand of the World.”
Zhang Ruochen was not surprised at all.
“Give me some response? The Hand of the World was called a half-step Archsaint. The only difference was an Archsaint’s spiritual power was half a level lower. His attainments in array formations were no less than that of an Archsaint. He was not afraid of any enemies under divinity.” said Blackie as he looked at Zhang Ruochen expectantly.
Shouldn’t there be a look of admiration and awe on his face?
Zhang Ruochen thought for a long time and said, “You’ve said so much, but I still don’t understand. What is the difference between the Hand of the World and an Archsaint?”
Blackie really wanted to flap his wings and send Zhang Ruochen flying. He said very quickly, “There is actually no difference between the attainments of the Hand of the World and an Archsaint in array formation. The difference is the word arch of an Archsaint.
“The spiritual power of the Archsaint must reach at least level 69 and a half. After reaching that realm, when you set up the formation, you can break away from objects and directly use the precepts of heaven and earth to set up the formation. Moreover, the formation can mobilize the power of heaven and earth and transform it into the power of the formation. The power is endless.
“Of course, if the spiritual power of the Archsaint reaches level 70, it will naturally be stronger. No one below the true G.o.d is invincible. As for the pseudo G.o.ds, they will have to retreat when they meet the Archsaint with level 70 spiritual power.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “According to you, the difference between the Hand of the World and the Archsaint is not small!”
“It’s really tiring to talk to someone like you who doesn’t know anything about arrays. The Archsaint can only set up arrays by leaving the carrier and directly mobilizing the precepts of heaven and earth to transform them into inscriptions of arrays. The arrays set up by the two are actually equally powerful. The Hand of the World can also set up arrays that the Archsaint can set up.” said Blackie.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and asked, “What does level 69 and a half of spiritual power mean? The Middle-stage of level 69?”
“The middle-stage of level 69, the pinnacle of level 69, all belong to level 69. Level 69 and a half are above the pinnacle of level 69. It is a realm where you can peek into divinity and the mysteries of heaven and earth. It is the most difficult step for spiritual power to ascend G.o.dhood.”
Blackie was very proud. He said, “I’ve been trapped in the Sacred Qiankun Wooden Picture Scroll for 100,000 years by that Old jacka.s.s Xumi. My spiritual power has changed a lot. Now that my cultivation has recovered, my spiritual power must have improved by leaps and bounds. I believe that I’ll reach level 69 and a half soon. When that time comes, please call me the Heaven and Earth Archsaint Slaughterer.”
“After all that, can you defeat Duan Lingfeng?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Blackie immediately walked up to Zhang Ruochen and glanced at the Ring of Dimensions in his hand. It said, “Duan Lingfeng is an old Hand of the World. He must have refined many powerful arrays that can be used at any time.
“If I want to deal with him, I must first refine an unparalleled killing array. I already have an idea. Once this array is refined, let alone Duan Lingfeng, even killing my way out of Enchanton will be a piece of cake.
“Isn’t Whitey pressing us step by step? When the time comes, we can just walk out and confront the leaders of the 19 forces. Once this array is refined, they will be scared to behave themselves and not dare to attack.”
Zhang Ruochen did not have much hope. Blackie is full of bluff even if he discounted his bragged by thirty percent.
However, Blackie’s attainments in array formations were not to be underestimated.
So Zhang Ruochen asked, “What array do you want to refine? How many materials do you need?”
“The demiG.o.d-level Great Array of Asterisms1, also known as the Dragon Horse Star Chart2. Of course, I also gave this array a more powerful name, the Grand Formation of Armageddon,” said Blackie.
Blackie looked very serious. He continued, “I don’t need many materials either. Just three Supreme Artifacts and 28 Regal Artifacts. It will be best if they are Cla.s.s Three Regal Artifacts and above. In addition, I need 100,000 G.o.dstones.
“It’s best to refine them into one set. So, we need a divine corpse. Only the divine corpse could bear the demiG.o.d array. The Heaven-devouring Genbu Formation refined by Duan Lingfeng uses the sh.e.l.l of a divine beast Genbu to bear it.”
Blackie didn’t even look at Zhang Ruochen’s face. He continued to speak with confidence, “You see, Duan Lingfeng is only the Hand of the World. He can’t directly transform the precepts of heaven and earth into the inscription of an array. It’s also difficult to borrow a large amount of heaven and earth power. He can only mobilize a large number of spiritual-power Saint Masters to work together to activate the array.
“But my Grand Formation of Armageddon can be activated by the vessel spirits of three Supreme Artifacts and 28 Regal Artifacts. All you need to do is put many G.o.dstones into the internal s.p.a.ce of the sacred artifacts.
“Of course, these are only the main materials. You need thousands of auxiliary materials. You’ve collected so many treasures in the Dragon Temple ruins. The treasures will definitely be of use. I won’t tell you everything. Just give me the Ring of Dimensions, and I’ll look for it myself… cough, cough, what’s with the look in your eyes?”
Blackie finally realized that something was wrong with Zhang Ruochen’s eyes.
“I’m here to help you, not to steal your treasures. Think about it. Once the formation is complete, the G.o.ds and demons will fear us. Who dares to make an enemy of us? Celestial Court and Infernal Court will have to make way for us.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “I have a few Supreme Artifacts on me. I have many Regal Artifacts. It’ll be worth it if I can refine the Great Array of Asterisms and throw them in.”
“Then what are you worried about?” Blackie asked.
Zhang Ruochen really wanted to kick it. He thought, ‘Can’t you see what I’m worried about? How many reliable things have you done?’
If Blackie failed to refine the array, the loss would be so significant that even the G.o.ds would cry.
