Chapter 731 - 275: Breaking the Formation, Capturing the Dragon! Prosthetic Eye Thimble, Appraised as a Formation Path Genius!
He knows all too well that this is a one-time chance—once missed, finding the Dragon Vein again will be exponentially more difficult!
"Unseal!"
In the Spirit Platform, an ancient book appeared out of thin air, with the title "Great Change Heavenly Origin Formation Solution" on its cover.
The pages turned, and countless characters and diagrams surged forth like waves, continuously rearranging themselves in the Sea of Consciousness.
This ancient book records countless arrays, including many long-lost Ancient Great Arrays!
The Great Dao is vast, and all paths ultimately converge; even the most mysterious arrays are not without roots, and their principles are always rooted in "the interplay of yin and yang, the rotation of the five elements."
As long as a similar array can be found, one can apply its principles and quickly find the optimal solution!
Moreover, Chen Mo’s goal is not to break the array, but to identify the pattern of this Hidden Dragon Array and grasp the Dragon Vein that is about to be buried!
"Four Seasons Chaos Array, Heaven and Earth Shifting Array..."
Numerous ancient arrays flashed by, finally settling on an array named "Nine Nether Ten Earth Array."
The effects of this array are similar to those of the Hidden Dragon Array, capable of twisting earth veins and reshaping mountains and rivers; Chen Mo endured the throbbing pain from the depletion of soul power, constantly dismantling the array to find the optimal path...
...
...
On the other side.
Sun Chongli was still bickering with Yuan Junfeng.
Suddenly, a shout rang out: "Look, what is that?!"
"Hmm?"
The two turned their heads at the sound and saw a tributor pointing at the center of the array, stammering: "Dragon... Dragon..."
Following the direction of his finger, Sun Chongli and Yuan Junfeng’s expressions froze, filled with disbelief.
They saw Chen Mo suspended mid-air, his clothes fluttering, eyes slightly closed, slowly extending his right hand into the void as if grasping something.
Boom—
The next moment, the array hub trembled violently!
Houses collapsed, the ground caved in, countless symbols spun and flew out, forming eight interlocking rings that comprised a constantly transforming sphere.
The outermost two rings were dim, the two arrays that had been solved.
As Chen Mo continued to pull with his right hand, the third ring began to distort.
At the same time, the stars on the wall emitted a cold light, projecting a serpentine shadow onto the ground—
"It’s the Dragon Vein! That’s the Dragon Vein’s location!"
Sun Chongli’s voice trembled, "Did Chen Mo... did he find the array hub?!"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Mo pulled hard, and the third ring shattered with a bang, exploding into a sky full of light dust!
And the serpent-like imprint was deeply branded into the array hub!
?
Yuan Junfeng’s mouth slightly opened, his eyes dazed.
He had thought Chen Mo came to consult about arrays, but this kid found the Dragon Vein at once and solved the third array?!
"Monster..."
Chen Mo was unaware of what was happening outside; his attention was focused entirely on the small characters emerging before him:
[Break the "Nine Luminaries Erosion Sun Formation."]
[Event completion reached 50%.]
[Found Dragon Vein location, achieved hidden condition, evaluation improved, part of the rewards unlocked.]
[Obtained strange item: Heavenly Derivation Array Plate.]
[Obtained special tool: Dao Essence Crystal*2.]
"The event is incomplete, yet part of the reward is given?"
"There’s even a hidden condition..."
Before Chen Mo could check the rewards, pain surged like a tide, the cost of soul power depletion began to manifest, his vision darkened, and he fell like a kite with a broken string.
Amidst the haze, he heard a commotion, and then lost consciousness completely.
...
...
Linglan County.
In the inn, Hui Neng sat cross-legged with lowered eyelids, his form resembling an iron tower, each breath exhaling white airflow from mouth and nose.
The young monk lay by the window, listening to the vendor’s cries, the sweet smell of freshly baked pastries wafting to his nose, making him swallow his saliva.
"Brother Hui Neng, I’m hungry, can we go buy some food?" The young monk turned his head, cautiously asked.
"You just ate a vegetarian meal; you shouldn’t be hungry so soon. It’s merely the temptation of appetite." Hui Neng kept his eyes closed, blandly said: "Each grain and dish are the blood and sweat of sentient beings, how can we indulge greedily?"
"Having a heart of greed is a demonic obstacle."
"Amitabha Buddha."
"Amitabha Buddha."
The young monk lowered his head, helpless, clasped his hands, and chanted a Buddha name.
He secretly mused that Brother Shi Yun was kinder, always gentle, unlike Brother Hui Neng, who was always stern and forbidding.
But Brother Shi Yun was so strong, how did he become a mess for no rhyme or reason?
Knock knock knock—
Just then, the door was knocked.
"Come in." Hui Neng said aloud.
The door opened, two attendants carrying trays walked in.
"Honored guest, your dishes are served."
More than ten dishes were spread across the table, brightly colored and fragrant, enticing just by the smell.
"Enjoy your meal, honorable guest."
The store attendants gave Hui Neng a curious look before leaving.
Buddhist followers should eat vegetarian, but this monk ordered a full spread of meat dishes, with ingredients he prepared himself, requesting them to cook, all from unheard-of alien beast meat.
Moreover, how could one adult and one child eat so much?
"What a peculiar man..."
Once the two had left, Hui Neng opened his eyes, approached the table, and sat flamboyantly on the chair.
He softly chanted a Buddha name, then started to gluttonously feast.
His eating manner was extremely crude, opening his mouth wide, the entire plate of leg meat poured in, cheeks bulging, chewing flesh and bones together, throat moved, swallowing in one go.
