Incredible Sect Simulator

Along the way, Zhang Tianqun continuously deployed his Divine Sense, searching for the Magical Power marks he left behind to ensure the route was correct, without losing direction.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains cover a vast area with diverse landscapes and environments. Finding a location here is challenging; getting the direction right and not getting lost is already quite commendable.

"Haha, we’re finally getting there."

Jiuhua True Monarch exhaled a heavy breath; the journey was indeed difficult with constant attacks from Demon Beasts.

"Zhang Dao You, where is the ruin? Why is it that I haven’t seen any sign of it?"

Jiuhua True Monarch asked, scanning the surroundings of the giant lake but unable to spot any structures.

However, the size of this giant lake was enormous, with its waters appearing cyan-colored, an unknown lake that couldn’t be filled even with the surrounding mountain peaks.

Such a lake is common in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, not particularly eye-catching.

At this moment, not only Jiuhua True Monarch but also Lu Ping and the Void Celestial Sword Spirit were searching for the traces of the Ancient Ruins, yet neither their eyesight nor Divine Sense could detect any sign of its buildings.

It seemed as if it simply didn’t exist.

Of course, Zhang Tianqun wouldn’t joke about this; he said it was here, thus it must exist.

It’s just unknown how exactly the Ancient Ruins exist.

Compared to Lu Ping and Jiuhua True Monarch, Liu Taixuan and Xu Dezhi had been here before, knowing the location of the ruin, and smiled faintly, looking towards the lake, towards its calm surface.

"I won’t keep you guessing."

Seeing Jiuhua True Monarch’s inquiry and Lu Ping’s puzzled expression, Zhang Tianqun smiled faintly and said.

"The ruin is under the giant lake ahead. I set up a hidden Array to separate the Ancient Ruins from the world. So if we look with our eyes, we won’t see the true appearance of the ruin."

After speaking, he maneuvered the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle, looking around to ensure there was no danger, and then slowly descended to the lakeside.

After greeting the group to disembark from the Flying Ship, Zhang Tianqun waved his hand, and the Heaven-Reaching Shuttle shrank to palm size and returned to his Storage Ring.

"Follow me."

Zhang Tianqun led the way and quickly reached the lakeshore.

Standing there, seeing the calm lake surface, Lu Ping pondered slightly and had a rough guess.

He imagined the situation was surely as Zhang Tianqun said, that the Ancient Ruins were hidden, concealed by some hidden method.

Because, when Lu Ping probed the lake with his Divine Sense, he couldn’t detect any peculiar geographical features or scenes, everything seemed ordinary.

If not for Zhang Tianqun pointing out this was the location of the Ancient Ruins, he wouldn’t have paid much attention here and would’ve certainly ignored its existence.

"Alright, let’s not keep Lu Daoist and the others waiting any longer; let’s work together."

Zhang Tianqun looked around again, confirmed there was no danger, and his gaze fell on Liu Taixuan, inviting him to join action.

"Okay!"

Liu Taixuan nodded and immediately took out a black Array Plate, maneuvering it to fly from his hand.

"This Ancient Ruins, we laid down an Array around it to hide it."

Zhang Tianqun introduced, looking at the black Array Plate hovering in the air: "Using this Array Plate, we can activate the Array."

As he spoke, the Array Power transmitted by the black Array Plate began to undulate in front of the waiting crowd.

A previously vacant plain began to show the outline of an Array, appearing before everyone.

This Array was silver in appearance, semi-transparent, and covered an area of over thirty thousand square meters, encompassing the majority of the lake.

With Zhang Tianqun and Liu Taixuan joining forces, controlling the black Array Plate to activate the Array, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered, becoming the energy for the Array.

The previously calm lake surface began to ripple.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

A powerful force appeared, coalescing into nine massive golden swords, hanging around the periphery of the Array, emitting brilliant light that made Lu Ping’s expression tense.

"Sword Array?"

As this doubt surfaced in his mind, the next moment, inside the Array, another Array emerged, swirling with rolling mist, then the mist dissipated swiftly, vanishing into the lake water.

"Array within an Array, two Arrays?"

Seeing this scene, Lu Ping was stunned, evidently not expecting two Arrays to be present here.

"Wow, there really are two Arrays."

Not only Lu Ping, but Jiuhua True Monarch also exclaimed in surprise, looking intensely at the two Arrays.

Zhang Tianqun’s voice sounded at this moment.

"Everyone, these two Arrays, one is the Vast Heaven Sword Array, used against any creatures appearing at any time. The Array inside is a hidden Array to conceal the existence of those Ancient Ruins."

The purposes of both Arrays are different, overlapping for dual protection.

"Both are Tier Five Arrays, Dubhe Institute’s foundation is indeed much better than your Cyan Mountain Sect."

The Void Celestial Sword Spirit glanced at the two Arrays not far away, able to clearly sense that merely the Vast Heaven Sword Array, with the nine Vast Heaven Swords around it, had enough power to kill ordinary Golden Core Cultivators.

If the Nine Swords were unleashed together, even facing Nascent Soul Stage creatures head-on, there’s a risk of perishing; she herself felt apprehensive towards this Vast Heaven Sword Array.

And the hidden Array inside, even with just clouds diffusing, could obscure even her Divine Sense probing, unable to see the situation inside.

"The foundation of Dubhe Institute is indeed something my Cyan Mountain Sect cannot compare with."

Lu Ping smiled wryly in response, aware of the huge gap between Cyan Mountain Sect and Dubhe Institute.

At this moment, his gaze returned to the two Arrays; only to see that the Vast Heaven Sword Array temporarily opened a portal for the group to enter.

"Everyone, let’s enter the Vast Heaven Sword Array first."

Zhang Tianqun called out with a smile.

Xu Dezhi and Liu Taixuan didn’t hesitate, following Zhang Tianqun into the Array.

"Lu Daoist."

Beside him, Jiuhua True Monarch spoke, looking at Lu Ping.

Among those present, only he and Lu Ping were not from Dubhe Institute, both had their own influences. Entering this Sword Array at the moment, strictly speaking, was somewhat presumptuous.
