Chapter 1181: Chapter 330: Sacrificial Refinement of the Mystic Shuttle, True Demon of Tribulation Water (Part 2)

Luo Qingyu said calmly: "If you refuse to speak, my Senior Brother Zhong can use the Soul Searching Technique. You may endure quite a bit of suffering, but I won’t force you. Consider it well yourself."

Upon hearing the name "Soul Searching Technique," Luo Canghai’s expression clearly showed terror.

Captured and brought back to the Mingcang Sect, he might not have his Primordial Spirit destroyed, but once the Soul Searching Technique was used, even if he was reincarnated, he would only be an imbecile with no hope of Enlightenment. After a moment of silence, he said, "I am willing to speak."

A little while later, Huo Xuan walked within a three-mile radius, eliminating all Devils present. However, this was only a temporary solution. As long as Zhou Haiyang could slightly circulate the Tribulation Water, he could create another thousand Devils. Without an array to protect them, they would never find peace.

At this moment, the clouds below had dissipated. He glanced back, immediately flew back using tunneling light to the peak, and upon landing, asked, "How did it go?"

Luo Qingyu smiled and said, "Rest easy, Senior Brother. The mantra has been obtained."

Huo Xuan relaxed slightly and nodded, "Junior Brother, you’ve done well. What arrangements are needed to set up the array? How do we proceed?"

Luo Qingyu replied, "This Four Symbols Formation was originally managed by Luo Canghai alone, requiring him to control the four gates and four techniques by himself. Now, with four disciples of our Mingcang Sect present, each can take charge of one gate, making the array’s power undiminished and saving many complex steps."

He then explained the mantra to Huo Xuan in detail.

The Four Symbols Mysterious Array relies entirely on the four Profound Shuttles. These four treasures innately contain profound mysteries, capable of unleashing great power without complex formations. Just by understanding the key points, one can use the Qi Mechanisms of the four directions of heaven and earth to control the array. As for the deeper transformations, although Luo Canghai knows them, they have no use for them yet, so they don’t bother to ask.

For the sacrificial refinement of the Profound Shuttles, someone must act as a protector, so they are not in a hurry to refine them. About two hours later, Elder Shen and the Yang couple returned in succession, but Xun Huaiying still had not shown up.

Huo Xuan thought that with these three guarding, it was enough, so he took the initiative to explain the matter of the Four Symbols Profound Shuttle to the four and said, "When my fellow disciples and I refine the Profound Shuttle, we need someone protecting on the side, without disturbance, so please, I’m relying on you all for this task."

Yang Bi quickly returned the courtesy, saying, "True Master Huo, you’re too kind. With this array, my wife and I can cultivate in peace. Naturally, we should do our part."

Elder Shen also bowed and said, "Real Master Huo, you give us too much credit. This is naturally part of my duties as a fellow member of the Xuanmen lineage."

After the four conferred, they went their separate ways. The Yang couple and Elder Shen ascended high into the sky, carefully guarding the surroundings to fend off any approaching Devils.

Zhang Yan retreated alone to one side, found a piece of blue rock, sat cross-legged on it, and took out the White Tiger Profound Shuttle from his sleeve. Previously, he had refined this Mystical Artifact quite roughly, without delving into it deeply, otherwise he wouldn’t have been unable to completely remove the evil intent on Ding Qun’s Life Killing Sword.

It wasn’t that he was lazy, but lacking the True Dharma, the treasure couldn’t be thoroughly refined. Now with the True Technique, he encountered no such obstacles. He operated the spell, drew the Gold Qi from the Five Elements Essence Qi, and pointed it at the Profound Shuttle.

Three days later, his body trembled, and opening his hand, a white tiger’s astral shadow leaped from the shuttle in his palm. It stood several tens of feet tall, roared at the sky, and suddenly a fierce wind rose, scattering flowers and grass into the air, and the huge trees on the peak swayed, creaking and almost snapping.

Summoning his spell again, the white tiger crouched low to the ground and slowly retreated into the shuttle, clearly tamed and docile.

Looking around, he saw Huo Xuan and the others still absorbed in their refinement, a slight smile on his face as he sat down for meditation.

An hour and a half later, the fire-red Profound Shuttle in Huo Xuan’s hand trembled, and with a long cry, the image of a Vermilion Bird covered in fiery feathers emerged, only to disappear almost immediately, evidently being suppressed by his Mana.

Turning his head, he saw that Zhang Yan had already finished refining his Profound Shuttle first, and nodded to himself, thinking, "Among our peers, Junior Brother Zhang’s Mana is indeed exceptional."

Another moment later, Zhong Muqing and Luo Qingyu completed their sacrificial refinement one after the other.

The Yang couple and Elder Shen, seeing that the four had finished refining, descended from the sky after surveying the surroundings.

Huo Xuan clasped his hands in salute to the three and said with a smile, "Thank you for your efforts over these days. Was there any movement?"

Yang Bi quickly returned the courtesy, saying, "Feng Haiyang sent some Devils over, but only a few miles away, they were easily dealt with by my wife and I along with Elder Shen. However... we have not seen any trace of Master Xun these past days, who knows where he might be."

A thousand miles away, Zhou Haiyang sat amidst the void, surrounded by thousands of Devils. The Tribulation Water beneath him flowed like rivers, starting in the north and vanishing in the south, extending over thirty miles with immense force. Both ends of the water vanished into the void.

A moment later, his eyes opened, flipping both hands, and with a swishing sound, a one-zhang-tall Devil emerged from the "Ten Thousand Spirits Yin Void Tribulation Water," complete with features and limbs, its body flickering like a candle and seemingly both real and illusory, especially with a hint of cunning in its eyes.

Zhou Haiyang slowly exhaled, waved his sleeve, and the Devil let out an unwilling cry before sinking back into the Tribulation Water.

Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Third Realm, he could refine three thousand Devils. These Devils, unlike those before, not only naturally possess spiritual wisdom but can also transform between existence and nonexistence. As long as the Tribulation Water doesn’t dry up, they are immortal, similar to how he previously broke Zhou Huang’s golden ship Prohibition with this method.

However, the one used previously was a gift from his mentor and not his own refinement, so he couldn’t control it freely, whereas this one, nurtured over three days and nights in the Tribulation Water, was his own work.

The Star Stone is abundant with Spiritual Energy, far superior to his former Cave Mansion, allowing for rapid Devil refinement. Given enough time, refining dozens to hundreds would enable him to contend with the remaining eight disciples of Xuanmen. If he could refine thousands, even in direct confrontation, he was confident of an easy victory.
