Chapter 560 - 660: I've Got a Solution
"Xianpi Sect..." The Rescue Zhenren fell into memory.
Ye Tianfan looked at Tian Chu Zhenren with some confusion, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt. Why did the mention of the Xianpi Sect cause the Rescue Zhenren to fall into reminiscence? Wasn't this a sect from two thousand years ago?
Tian Chu Zhenren noticed Ye Tianfan's confusion and quietly explained to him, "The Xianpi Sect is actually the predecessor of the Flower Fairy Sect. The leadership of the Xianpi Sect was always inherited by the Mu Yi Clan. Two thousand years ago, a disciple from their sect, Qiao Shanfeng, became dissatisfied with the Mu Yi Clan's control over the core authority of the Xianpi Sect, which led to a rebellion. This resulted in the sect splitting into two factions: Bei Muyi and Nan Qiao Shanfeng. This situation persisted for nearly three hundred years. After Mu Yibo's death in that era, his son Mu Yifu succeeded as the sect leader and launched an intense war against Nan Qiao Shanfeng, intending to unite the two factions. However, because the struggle was too fierce, the entire Xianpi Sect suffered heavy casualties, and ultimately, it was exterminated by the Riyin Divine Sect, the top demonic sect at the time. Other disciples fled or escaped, and the once-prosperous Xianpi Sect disintegrated. The founder of the Flower Fairy Sect, who survived, hid in what is now the Flower Valley and established the Flower Fairy Sect. It was basically a single line of transmission until five hundred years ago, when the previous sect leader started recruiting talents widely."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianfan nodded, understanding now.
"So how did you come to know about the Star Shifting Array?" The Rescue Zhenren asked the old wealthy patriarch seriously. After all, it involved their sect's core cultivation technique and couldn't be taken lightly.
"I discovered a diary in a secret box within a relic, which described the functions of the Star Shifting Array from that era! Among them, it included situations where injuries could be transferred to others!" the old wealthy patriarch said.
"Why... I guess you're right. Two thousand years have passed, and considering they probably didn't retrieve the complete version back then, there must be omissions, which led to the current situation!" The Rescue Zhenren sighed deeply after speaking. It was unexpected that the Star Shifting Array was so powerful in the past, but it was even more unbelievable that those demons actually had a complete version of it!
"However, the diary didn't mention death transfer, so it might not necessarily be the Star Shifting Array. It could also be a technique combining the Star Shifting Array with that Evil Qi Technique, right? Otherwise, death transfer is too against the natural order, and it's also impractical." The old wealthy patriarch said.
Upon hearing the old wealthy patriarch's words, the Rescue Zhenren nodded and said, "Right, if there really was a death transfer, it would be too overwhelming, but injury transfer could be something to simulate. Anyway, there's plenty of time. Once this mission is over, I'll enter closed-door training and will not come out until I've figured out injury transfer."
"It's too early to talk about this now; the important thing is how to deal with those people!" Elder Huo said, "Or does your Star Shifting Array have any weaknesses? You could share it with us to deal with those demons!"
Upon hearing this, the Rescue Zhenren gave Elder Huo a deep glare and then replied irritably, "Weakness? If there were any, would I tell you? Besides, the Star Shifting Array doesn't have any weaknesses. If there was a weakness, it would be using more power than I can handle, which would make it impossible to transfer!"
"So what do you suggest? Without a weakness, does it mean we have to kill them tens of thousands of times to completely eliminate these demons?" Elder Huo said, furrowing his brows.
"Perhaps I have an idea!" Ye Tianfan cautiously said!
After hearing Ye Tianfan's words, everyone immediately turned to him and just stared.
Ye Tianfan became speechless under the intense gaze of these bigwigs.
Impatiently, Elder Huo said, "Hey, if you have a solution, just say it, don't dawdle, what's with this attitude!"
Ye Tianfan resisted the pressure, opened his mouth, and said, "If the ability of those demons to transfer injury is limited to Heaven-Reaching Town, why not drive them out of town and then test it? If they can't resurrect, wouldn't we succeed then?"
After hearing this, they exchanged glances – this method seemed feasible. If they could cut off the link between those demons and their substitutes, they could indeed kill them directly.
Just as they were about to discuss the method, Tian Chu Zhenren spoke up: "It's useless. Their connection with those substitutes originates from within the soul and is not confined to one area. It's at least a thousand miles wide, where they can connect. So, if you want to sever the bond between the demons and the substitutes, you need to take them at least a thousand miles away, which might cut the connection."
Hearing Tian Chu Zhenren's words, everyone was once again at a loss. This won't work, that won't work, so what would work? This cultivation technique is really disgusting; it's virtually invincible.
"Any cultivation technique must have its weaknesses. If we can't deal with the demons, why not target the substitutes? Envelop them with an Array, severing their connection with the demons. Why limit ourselves to the demons?" Tian Chu Zhenren said confidently.
This idea actually just occurred to Tian Chu Zhenren, but to maintain his image as a master, he had to appear confident.
Upon hearing this, everyone thought it was a great idea. They could target the substitutes, why insist on the demons? How foolish!
But now there's an even bigger challenge – who could create an Array that severs the soul connection? Granny Zhanhua said she couldn't create such a miraculous Array, and Tian Chu Zhenren, knowing Zhen Chu Zhenren, knew he hadn't come across such an Array either.
At this moment, Ye Tianfan suddenly thought that his Xuan Long Seal seemed to have the ability to suppress souls. However, due to the infiltration of Demonic Qi, this function couldn't be used right now.
Ye Tianfan pondered and decided to inform these bigwigs. Maybe they had a way to quickly dispel the Demonic Qi?
"Sect Leader, and all the seniors, I have a Magical Treasure, the Xuan Long Seal, which has a function; it suppresses souls!"
Before Ye Tianfan could finish, Elder Huo interrupted: "Then what are you waiting for? Take out your Xuan Long Seal; use it and then we'll return it to you!"
The others also nodded, assuring him they would return it and wouldn't covet his Magical Treasure, even though it's a Supreme Magical Treasure!
