I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 730 - 275: Breaking the Formation, Capturing the Dragon! Prosthetic Eye Thimble, Recognized as a Formation Path Genius!

"Do you remember what I told you last time about the nature of the Eightfold Exorcism Array?" Seeing that Chen Mo looked somewhat puzzled, Sun Chongli asked.

"I certainly remember," Chen Mo nodded.

Back then, demons rampaged, causing chaos in Jiu Zhou, and eerie phenomena spread throughout the Capital City.

To save the precarious court, the Ministry of Construction joined forces with Wuwan Temple to set up this Eightfold Exorcism Array, which covers the entire Tiandu City.

As long as the Demon Clan steps in, they will be locked by the array, and the Demon Extermination Crossbow placed in the Observatory will be triggered to shoot them on the spot.

However, detecting Demon Energy is just one of the most basic functions of this grand array.

In fact, the Eightfold Exorcism Array is composed of eight sets of arrays, with the real purpose of imprisoning the Dragon Vein to ensure the stability of the Great Yuan Empire.

Over the years, the Demon Suppression Department has been trying to break this array, partly because its power is gradually declining and is barely able to suppress the Dragon Vein, and partly to free from the control of Wuwan Temple.

However, the array is interconnected and too mysterious, to this day they have only dismantled two formations.

The one before us is the third formation, called "Nine Luminaries Erosion Sun Formation," aimed at resolving the Evil Qi caused by the imprisoned Dragon Vein.

"After the array was formed, Wuwan Temple handed over the Array Map and Array to the court, but kept the Array Guide," Sun Chongli stroked his beard and said solemnly, "Without the Array Guide for positioning, it’s difficult to find the Array Hub location, which makes breaking the formation extremely challenging."

Chen Mo suddenly realized, "So, to find the Array Hub, one must first locate the Dragon Vein?"

"Exactly," Sun Chongli nodded, "Since the Nine Luminaries Erosion Sun Formation is intended to resolve the Evil Qi of the Dragon Vein, the Array Hub must be on the Dragon Vein. However, over the years, the Earth Veins have undergone changes, making it extremely difficult to pinpoint the exact location."

"I tried to use this Trapped Dragon Pillar to lock the Earth Veins, but the effect has been minimal."

"Must we conduct a field survey and dig three feet into the ground in Capital City?"

Sun Chongli sighed helplessly at this point.

The dozens of tributors who were lying on the ground observing the grand array also showed a look of despair.

This problem has troubled them for a long time, and they have yet to come up with a good solution.

Individually, each of them is considered a genius in Formation Path, having joined the Demon Suppression Department solely to crack the grand array, investing nearly all of their energies into it... yet to no avail so far, which inevitably makes them doubt themselves.

If the third level is this difficult, what kind of situation will unfold afterward?

Can this array really be cracked by human power?

If everything proves futile, what then is the purpose of the Formation Path Department’s existence?

Yuan Junfeng, hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "I say, why bother with all this trouble? Just go directly to Wuwan Temple and seize the Array Guide!"

Sun Chongli glared at him and said, "Do you think the Reincarnation Path is made of clay? Besides, this array hasn’t been completely deciphered; who knows if Wuwan Temple has left some contingency? If we tear down all boundaries, who knows what kind of chaos it would bring!"

"You overestimate those bald monks. If they don’t hand over the Array Guide, flatten Little Western Heaven; I’d like to see how many monks can reincarnate into the next life?"

"You don’t know a damn thing..."

The two argued endlessly, while Chen Mo turned a deaf ear, carefully observing the grand array before him.

The sky is the cover, the ground is the array, the walls circulate the celestial stars, which are the Array Map, each star corresponds to the Array below.

In order to see more clearly, he stepped into it. However, as soon as he stepped into the formation, everything blurred before his eyes, and he saw the celestial stars and the earth beneath him begin to rotate continuously.

"So the array is not fixed but changes constantly."

Chen Mo’s eyes were filled with purple-gold radiance as he carefully observed the small-scale Tiandu City beneath him.

The buildings were orderly, the alleyways crisscrossed, each detail perfectly replicated without a single flaw.

He squatted down, reaching out to touch the ground, and his vision plunged into darkness, as if he had delved deep underground.

Complex hieroglyphs were carved into the surrounding rock layers, layered and nested, countless Earth Veins resembling tree roots, winding densely, innumerable.

"This Array displays the Earth Vein paths, yet does not show the Dragon Vein..."

"Or perhaps, it’s been hidden..."

Finding the strand carrying Dragon Qi among the countless Earth Vein branches seemed nearly impossible.

Chen Mo simply gave up on observing, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed.

Under the observation of Divine Soul, countless earth-yellow Qi flows intertwined like a spider web, while at the same time, the purple halo coiled in his Dantian seemed to sense something, gradually becoming lively.

"Not enough..."

He immersed his Divine Soul into the Spirit Platform Little Man, magnifying his senses several times, pushing his Soul Power to the extreme.

Guided by the Dragon Qi, he continuously sorted through the channels.

Ten channels, fifty channels, three hundred channels...

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Mo’s Soul Power was completely depleted, unable to sustain high-intensity deduction.

Just as he was about to give up, he caught a fleeting glimpse of purple light in the vast earth-yellow Qi flow.

At the same time, the Dragon Qi inside him became extremely lively, almost bursting out of his body!

"Found it!"

Chen Mo suddenly opened his eyes, raising his hand toward that Earth Vein.

Boom!

At this moment, the array suddenly stirred!

In the rock layers, the hieroglyphs lit up brilliantly, the intricate network twisted like living creatures, trying to hide the Dragon Vein.

Chen Mo instantly realized this is the fourth level formation under Nine Luminaries Erosion Sun Formation; though its name is unknown, its purpose is about concealment!
