Yun Shisan said proudly, "The Octagonal Heaven Lock Formation pales in comparison to the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates Formation. It's on a completely different level."
"I see. No wonder you were so relaxed when we broke through the Octagonal Heaven Lock Formation."
Mu Yuchen recalled how confident Yun Shisan had been when he'd led them through the Octagonal Heaven Lock Formation in Yunhai. That ease and contentment, as if everything was under his control, wasn't an act.
"That's for sure. There aren't many formations that can stump me." Yun Shisan was certain that even in the Xuanling World, there weren't many formations that could stump him.
Although the formations in the two worlds were different, they were mostly the same. They both had different paths leading to the same destination.
Qimen Dunjia could be considered the ancestor of array formations. The Eight Trigrams was the origin of array formations, encompassing all array formations under the heavens. As long as one thoroughly understood these two array formations, not to mention breaking array formations would be easy, even setting up an array formation would be easy.
Qingyue looked at the mirror image. Everyone had already entered the eight gates. She asked with some confusion, "Are we still not going to make a move?"
"There's no need to rush. They've just entered and are still full of energy. Their overall strength is above our Qinglian School's disciples. It's not suitable for them to train yet!"
These people had just entered the eight gates and were full of arrogance and momentum. It was inappropriate for the disciples to make a move now.
Although Yun Shisan wanted to train his troops, he was also worried that accidents would occur and cause the deaths of his disciples.
It wasn't easy to train a disciple. Every one of them was a treasure to the Qinglian School. There weren't many of them to begin with, so they couldn't afford to lose them!
He could only let the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates suppress their arrogance. When they were exhausted, that would be the best time to train his troops.
Only then would the Qinglian School's disciples have hope of winning. Only with hope would they be motivated. Without hope, it would only make them fearful, which wasn't good for their cultivation.
"But those Earth Immortal powerhouses are troublesome!"
Yun Shisan frowned. With those Earth Immortal powerhouses around, there was no way to train the disciples. The three levels of Heaven, Earth, and Mortal were not on the same line at all.
At that moment, Ye Xuanying made her choice. She chose the Rest Gate.
Originally, she had entered from the Gate of Rest. She should have chosen the Gate of Life. That was the correct position.
Yun Shisan had used the five elements in this transformation. The Gate of Healing was of the water element, while the water element was of the earth element. If she chose the Gate of Life, she could smoothly enter the second transformation.
Ye Xuanying led his disciples into the Rest Gate. Immediately, a downpour began. This downpour was no ordinary rain.
The raindrops were the size of a baby's fist and had even frozen. This was a freezing rain.
Drops of rain fell from the sky like stones, landing on the group of people.
Ye Xuanying was the first to come in. This icy rain caught her off guard, and drops of icy rain the size of a baby's fist greeted her.
"Whoosh ~"
Ye Xuanying was, after all, an Earth Immortal of the Yellow Springs Realm. As the icy rain fell, he quickly formed a hand seal and created a Dark Energy shield.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
Drops of icy rain fell on the Dark Energy shield, causing it to tremble. The Dark Energy shield flickered, and it was on the verge of collapsing.
Seeing this, Ye Xuanying increased the power of his Dark Energy to maintain the shield. He warned the people who had just entered, "Everyone, be careful. This icy rain is very aggressive. Everyone, create a Dark Energy shield!"
She realized that each drop of the rain had the power to kill a Mystery Realm warrior. This was nothing. The people she had brought were at least at the Dao Comprehending Realm.
However, this was a rain of ice, not just one or two drops. Even an expert with three calamities wouldn't be able to handle it if they allowed it to fall on their body.
Suddenly, a disciple pointed to the ground not far away and said, "Society Master, look."
Ye Xuanying was reminded by this disciple and looked to the ground in front of her. The ground had been pierced by the icy rain into a beehive.
However, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that there was a dark green mist rising from the beehives.
"Bleep, bleep …"
Before she could think about it, dark green water flowed out from the beehives.
"Bleep, bleep …"
The dark green water flowed out of the beehives continuously, forming a torrent that spread rapidly in all directions.
"Ah …"
Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the crowd. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and the next moment, they all sucked in a cold breath.
"Hiss …"
They saw that this disciple was standing in a low-lying area. The dark green water had soaked up to his ankles.
However, what terrified everyone was that his ankles, which had been soaked in dark green blood, had no flesh left. Only white bones were left. Furthermore, the decay was rapidly spreading up his calves.
Ye Xuanying saw this and reacted quickly. He immediately sent out a wave of Dark Energy and pulled the disciple in front of him.
"Ah …"
"Society Master, ah, hurry, hurry up and leave. There's, there's …"
He wanted to say something, but before he could finish, his body was already rapidly decaying. What was left was a skeleton.
Yes, a skeleton. There was not even bone marrow left in his bones. Dark green smoke was rising from the outside of his bones.
"Gasp …"
Everyone gasped again. They felt a chill run down their spines. Were they trying to break through an array or had they entered hell?
"No, I want to go back."
"I want to go back. This place is too scary."
"What the hell is this place?
Is it an array or a hell … "
Everyone was in an uproar. At this moment, they only wanted to leave this godforsaken place. It would be best if they never came back.
At this moment, dark green water flowed out from the beehives on the ground. The water level was rising rapidly.
Ye Xuanying looked at the chaotic crowd and said fiercely, "Everyone, calm down. There's poison in the water. Everyone, fly into the air. Don't touch the water."
"Society Master, I want to go back. I just want to go back."
"That's right, Society Master. Please be merciful and let us go back."
"Shut up …"
Ye Xuanying shouted angrily, "You want to go back?
There's no way out now. Can't you see?
Our escape route has long disappeared. Our only choice now is to break through the array. If you don't want to die, fly into the air. "
Ye Xuanying didn't care if the crowd could hear him. In a flash, he flew into the air against the icy rain.
The torrent spread rapidly. In an instant, it had submerged most of the land.
"Ah, ah …"
A few more people couldn't react in time. They were instantly touched by the dark green water and turned into a pile of bones.
These people were basically scared out of their wits or lost their minds because of the death of the person before them.
With so many previous examples, the remaining people didn't dare to be careless. They all flew into the air against the icy rain.
One of the disciples asked Ye Xuanying, "Society Master, this water is so poisonous. Do you know what it is?"
How would Ye Xuanying know what it was? How could he answer that?
In the Water Moon Pavilion, everyone also looked at Yun Shisan questioningly.
Even Qing Yue was no exception. The Nine Palaces and Eight Gates Array was placed in front of her every day. However, she could only see the surface.
Yun Shisan smiled and asked, "Have you heard of the Dark Hell Spring?"
Mu Yuchen said, "Rumor has it that there's a spring in the deepest part of the Underworld. It's called the Dark Hell Spring. It's said that the Dark Hell Spring is the most evil water in the world. Anyone who touches it will die."
Ji Zhangming continued, "Could this be the Dark Hell Spring?
But that's impossible. The Black Hell Underworld Spring is in the Underworld. It's even below the Underworld. No one knows where it is. Maybe it's not even in this world. You can't have the Black Hell Underworld Spring! "
Yun Shisan carried Lu Wuchen and sat down on the palanquin. Her spiritual spirit had just awakened. Regardless of whether it was standing for a long time, her body was still a little tired.
After sitting down, she shook her head and said, "You're wrong. Since no one knows where it is, why is there a legend of the Dark Hell Spring? How do you know about it?"
There's no smoke without fire. All legends had a certain basis. Not all of them were made up.
"I also don't know where the Dark Hell Spring is. Perhaps it's not even in this world, but in another world. Who can say for sure how vast the myriad of worlds are?
And this isn't the real Dark Hell Spring. But for ordinary cultivators, this is the Dark Hell Spring.
It contains no less than a hundred kinds of deadly poisons. Many of them are deadly poisons. There's no antidote at all. And with more than a hundred kinds of poisons mixed together, the toxicity can be imagined.
There's a powerful corrosive force in it. Even the spiritual spirit and primordial spirit can't escape.
Ji Zhangming, Mu Yuchen, if you're confident in your strength, you can give it a try. Maybe it won't work on you. Maybe it'll turn you into a pile of bones. It's hard to say. "
"Give it a try?"
The two shuddered. Although they were already Celestial Immortals, they still shrunk their necks when they saw the piles of bones in the Rest Gate.
They didn't know the terror of this poisonous water. Of course, they didn't dare to test it, even if they were 1st layer Celestial Immortals.
"When did you set up this thing?"
Bluemoon's focus was different. She had always been in the Qinglian School, but she didn't know when Yun Shisan set up such a vicious thing.
"I was also learning alchemy for a period of time. Actually, alchemy and medicine are related. I refined it at that time."
In fact, he also wanted to give it a try. In his previous life on Earth, he was obsessed with the Qimen Dunjia. He had flipped through countless books.
In one of those books, he found the method to refine a strange poison. That was the Dark Hell Spring. This was his first time trying it, but he still succeeded.
After refining it, he directly threw it into the Rest Gate through the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates. It became one with the Rest Gate and became a trump card of the Rest Gate.
Bluemoon frowned and asked, "How can you control this thing?"
She felt that this Dark Hell Spring was too vicious and went against the harmony of the heavens.
Yun Shisan naturally understood Bluemoon's thoughts. He didn't directly answer and instead said, "Since the heavens gave me materials, I have a use for them. Since they exist, then there's a reason. We don't need to use these things to kill people. However, if the enemy comes to invade, they will do whatever it takes. Since they don't have evil intentions, why worry so much?"
