Chapter 242: Chapter 233: Five Elements Spirit Array

“Built upon the mountain, formed near the water, the mountain borrows the elegance of water, and the water gains gentleness from the mountain.”

“Earth Element is heavy yet not rigid, Wood Element is refined but not extravagant.”

“Mountains enveloped by water, Spiritual Qi arises naturally, merging inner and outer realms, as if formed by heaven.”

“Amazing, this is definitely an array set up by someone skilled in alchemy.”

Wang Wu felt his heart surge, as if encountering a kindred spirit.

Because this Five-Layer Array truly seemed like a small detour for the Five Elements Spirit Pill!

“Hmm, actually, there are still some flaws, glaring flaws, theoretically it shouldn’t be. How could a Human Race Cultivator capable of setting up such an ingenious Five Elements Array make such a simple, foolish mistake, unless it’s a trap!”

Wang Wu’s reactive thought.

But he immediately shook his head, please don’t insult the term ’kindred spirit’. If you understand this Five Elements Array, you just understand it, and there’s no way you’d fall for it. And if you can’t understand it, how could you notice that minor defect?

So this is definitely not a trap.

It’s not man-made, more like——

Wang Wu furrowed his brows, circled the Five Elements Array once, and then it dawned on him.

“This Five Elements Array has been standing for at least a thousand years, maybe even two to three thousand years, it’s normal for some minor issues to have occurred over time. All things grow and operate, nothing is flawless.”

“However, this Five Elements Array was later repaired by someone else, a rather clever one, and their craftsmanship isn’t bad. At least if singled out, each array could be repaired to a 99.9 score effect, but when combined, it ruined the integrity and unity of the Five Elements Array, and its harmony with the surrounding environment.”

Once Wang Wu understood, he felt more and more at odds with it.

“Time should still be enough, I’ll just go in a bit, the owner here, if aware in the afterlife, shouldn’t mind an odd kindred spirit like me helping to fix these minor issues.”

“Sigh, I didn’t expect Old Wang, living for half a lifetime, to realize he’s actually in late-stage OCD…”

Wang Wu half-jokingly said to himself, but in reality, he wasn’t joking, these are different matters.

He had activated the highest level of Danger Perception + Spiritual Talent, and it was true that he focused entirely on finding the disharmony.

It’s just like an old fellow from Earth about to complete the hardest level in a game, suddenly realizing there’s an achievement, an important item not yet obtained…

What a ’what the heck’ moment!

A task invested with one’s heart and soul tolerates no blemishes and imperfections.

Especially when it can still be done.

No other choice, delete the save, start over.

So Wang Wu, without hesitation, used his understanding of the Five Elements Array combined with those few minor defects, carefully sneaked in.

Then in passing, he patched those minor defects.

This didn’t take much time, nor required a high cost, sometimes, perfection and flaw might be just a slight brush stroke away.

“Ah! It’s truly perfect!”

Wang Wu enjoyed the beauty of the unity and harmony of the Five Elements, until he realized he had unknowingly slipped inside.

What happened to not going in?

Alright, I promise not to move recklessly, no, rather not to wander randomly.

I am an innocent little bear…

Wang Wu grinned widely, exceptionally delighted, sigh, rare is the joy in life, it’s been a long time since he laughed secretly.

“However, can’t linger here too long, nor leave the slightest trace, I’ll stay one day, then tomorrow start moving.”

Wang Wu was still very clear, he ran a straight ten thousand miles, this was his greatest assurance, and only three days had passed, even Lu Wuchen couldn’t come so fast, nor could Master Jade Bee just conveniently be at Heavenly Dao Mountain——

The next moment, Wang Wu’s thoughts suddenly froze, a flash of shock appeared across his face, damn, he really had a crow’s mouth!

However, why wasn’t it Master Jade Blade?

He gazed at the constantly appearing information before him, falling into deep thought.

“You’ve been exposed.”

“You seem to be being hunted by the Celestial Realm Great Cultivator of the Human Race, Liu Wujiu, he seems to be eight hundred miles behind you.”

“Liu Wujiu used the Snake Guard Mark to activate the Resonance Technique and Witchcraft and Gu Divination Method to determine your approximate location, this area is at least a thousand miles in radius.”

“He’s torturing your Snake Guard, your Snake Guard activated the Snake Guard Mark, it seems very painful because some bizarre array seems to have been implanted in its body, enhancing the resonance effect of the Snake Guard Mark!”

“Your bloodline sensed the Snake Guard Mark’s resonance, but because you repaired this ancient Five Elements Spirit Array, you gained protection and concealment akin to Heaven and Man Unity, the Snake Guard Mark in your bloodline was soothed.”

“Your Snake Guard is being brutally tortured, it’s truly in agony! Its Demon Pill has suffered irreparable damage due to continuous activation of the Snake Guard Mark resonance along the way, it needs rest, it regrets why it betrayed you.”

“Warning! Liu Wujiu has closed in within three hundred miles, your Snake Guard is preparing another wave of Snake Guard Mark resonance, since the direct distance between you is less than three hundred miles, there is a high possibility your bloodline’s Snake Guard Mark resonance might reveal a tiny flaw.”

——

Shit!

Where the hell did this Liu Wujiu pop out from?

Wang Wu instantly realized why he was being caught up to, Lu Wuchen indeed wasn’t nearby, he couldn’t have caught up so quickly, so it’s only possible he was just near Heavenly Dao Mountain, or Great Snow Mountain, or even that giant city, to react so fast.

But what now?

Though it may only reveal a tiny flaw, as long as the probability is greater than zero, then there’s truly a chance to be discovered!

Especially now, he couldn’t dare to use the Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf, and the two Concealing Demon Pills were still on activation cooldown, his passive concealment actually only remains at level 19.6.

In that urgent moment, an idea popped in Wang Wu’s mind, could he use a method similar to the Five Elements Spirit Pill to form a resonance with the Five Elements Spirit Array?

But how to achieve resonance?

Should he refine a Ninth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill?

Is there enough time?

Wang Wu had Eighth-Grade Ginseng Vitality Pill, Eighth-Grade Refined Gold Body Forging Pill, Eighth-Grade White Earth Disdain Pill, and then he could instantly refine Eighth-Grade Fire Essence and Water-Storage Spirit Pill.

“Let’s give it a try! There’s no other way.”

Taking a deep breath, Wang Wu decisively hid among a cluster of spirit grass, took out three kinds of spirit pills, then quickly refined one Fire Essence and one Water-Storage Spirit Pill, all requiring Eighth-Grade, before he could refine the Ninth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pill, as clearly written in the pill formula She Shoujiu told him.

But as he started the first move, he felt a bit awkward, something seemed off.

After all, he was capable of maintaining the Five Elements Spirit Array. Although the Five Elements Spirit Array and Five Elements Spirit Pill are not the same, he had indeed followed the method of the Five Elements Spirit Pill for maintenance before.

The logic couldn’t be wrong, and the pill formula was not wrong either.

So where was the mistake?

Wang Wu frowned tightly because pieces of information seemed to be streaming live.

“The vile Liu Wujiu is approaching, he is only 280 miles away from you.”

“The ruthless, arrogant Celestial Realm Great Cultivator of the Human Race is advancing, he is only 250 miles away from you!”

…

“Damn it, can you still surrender or what?”

This fusion of the attribute bar and the Inheritance Soul Jade was acting like a nerve right now.

Wang Wu teased, and the tension in his heart was significantly lessened.

He even had a mindset of being indifferent to life and death, and if not satisfied, just go for it.

Wow, this thing also does psychological intervention, amazing!

The next moment, Wang Wu, with no distractions, directly tossed the pill furnace that She Shoujiu gave him for alchemy back into the storage pouch, why use a pill furnace?

Too narrow-minded.

He intended to use the Five Elements Spirit Array to refine the Five Elements Spirit Pill.

Yes, he suddenly figured out this crucial point, after all, the inner Spiritual Qi fluctuations of the Five Elements Spirit Array were simply tailor-made for the supplementary mode of refining the Five Elements Spirit Pill.

“Pardon the show of incompetence!”

Wang Wu recited silently in his heart, and the next moment, his Ice and Fire Spirit Root activated, like two sources of power, akin to left zero, right fire, with an advantage on his side…

He even forgot the pill formula, no longer needed it.

According to his Level 12 Spirit Essence + highest-level Danger Perception, he didn’t even look, directly refining blindly!

What feedback is needed?

The feedback from the Five Elements Spirit Array is the feedback from the Five Elements Spirit Pill.

What technique is needed?

Perhaps there is, but at this moment, the most important thing is resonance, Wang Wu simply didn’t think about refining the Five Elements Spirit Pill.

He was like an extremely sensitive spiritual array hacker, hacking directly into it, seizing control of the spirit array, like a piano without a player, able to play by itself.

Gold Essence, Wood Essence, Water Essence, Fire Essence, Earth Essence.

Five Aggregates complete, Unity of the Five Spirits.

At this moment, he successfully blocked the noisy floating information from the attribute bar and even forgot about Liu Wujiu’s existence.

Go rest!

You are not even as good as a blade of grass in this heaven and earth.

Go rest!

You are like ants, I am like a high mountain.

At this moment, Wang Wu felt as if he was this mountain, this heaven, and earth.

He even forgot who he was, and forgot the initial purpose.

And as the Five Aggregates circulated, changing without form.

The entire Spirit Medicine Manor could no longer detect any information.

Wang Wu could perceive this Spirit Medicine Manor before.

But now, that Liu Wujiu had even gotten to within thirty miles of Wang Wu’s location, yet he completely failed to perceive the Spirit Medicine Manor, let alone Wang Wu.

“Ah! Master, spare me, I can do anything for you!”

A two-headed snake was placed in a specially made snake cage, constantly screaming, but Liu Wujiu remained unmoved, not even bothering to waste words, pinching a spell in his hand, the two-headed snake was forced to activate the Snake Guard Mark again.

But this time, it couldn’t hold on, two heads exploded straight away.

Liu Wujiu coldly watched, his expression remained without any fluctuations, he had already recorded the spiritual qi pattern of activating the Snake Guard Mark and had replicated it, currently deploying it on a large scale.

However, this special array couldn’t be moved, so after receiving news of a suspected appearance of Xiong Wu, he brought the two-headed snake along, chasing along the way.

At one point, he almost thought he was about to catch that little bear cub.

But unexpectedly, it slipped away again.

“Thirty-five years ago, you seized the opportunity to kill an ordinary steward of a fifth-grade merchant house, your strength was approximately at the sixth grade then.”

“Thirty-five years later, you killed two elite fifth-grade cultivators and two spirit beasts in rapid succession and managed to escape ten thousand miles in two days, your strength is approximately at the fourth grade now.”

“Heh, by this calculation, within three hundred years, you will definitely advance to the second grade, which gives you the qualification to assassinate us.”

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

After saying this, Liu Wujiu surprisingly turned around and left, abandoning the chase.

He finally understood the logic that Lu Wuchen had grasped five years ago, that pursuing Xiong Wu in the wild was indeed unwise.
