Surrounded by mountains, a sudden flash of Spirit Light brightened above the ruins of the Blood Purification Sect.
When the light disappeared, what replaced it was a figure with a breathtaking aura.
"Is this the Blood Purification Sect?"
After entering, Bai Sheng unconsciously spread his Divine Sense out like a sweeping storm, trying to investigate the situation within this Secret Realm.
He wanted to find the Blood Nether Cleansing Heart Array, naturally exploring all the intelligence related to this Array thoroughly.
Blood Purification Sect, one of the Array Formation Grandmasters of the last epoch.
Though just a First-Grade Sect, the whole sect specialized deeply in Array Dao, similar to the current epoch's Medicine Valley.
However, unlike the harmless sect of Medicine Valley, Blood Purification Sect collaborated with other Array Formation Grandmasters in the war against the Abyss and played an extremely luminary role.
On the battlefield with billions engaged, the role of Arrays expanded by thousands and millions of times.
Whether it was defense, reconnaissance, attack, transporting cultivators, creating illusions, or healing, all were irreplaceable, making Arrays the most comprehensive weapon of war.
Even the Blood Purification Sect, along with two other rival Array Formation Grandmasters, orchestrated a shocking Array that transcended realms and annihilated four Abyss Envoys of the Ninth Realm, including one at Great Perfection!
This outcome forcibly provoked the Abyss to intervene personally, eradicating the Blood Purification Sect and the two Array Formation Grandmasters completely, and erased the peerless Array from a level unfathomable to mortals, leaving no trace in the world!
However, even though Bai Sheng's Divine Sense easily enveloped the entire Secret Realm, when he tried to probe inside the Blood Purification Sect, he encountered an invisible resistance.
"Even though the sect is destroyed, are these Great Formations still operational?"
Bai Sheng looked surprised, not expecting that after such a long time, this Array still possessed such powerful force.
Because he had meticulously understood the history of Blood Purification Sect, Bai Sheng initially assumed the grandeur of this sect's Array Dao—it was, after all, a force that provoked the Abyss itself. Anything related to Array Dao seemed entirely plausible.
So Bai Sheng didn't find it strange that such a powerful sect still had Arrays protecting it; rather, he thought it was to be expected.
"That Array Map should be somewhere in the sect's ruins, right?"
Bai Sheng slowly descended from midair, arriving in front of the dilapidated Mountain Gate of the Blood Purification Sect.
In the entire Secret Realm, besides him, there was no trace of anyone else; it was all marks of time's sediment, seeming like he was the first cultivator to visit here since the sect's destruction.
But what Bai Sheng didn't know, was that from the moment he stepped into the Secret Realm, all his actions were being watched by Liang Yi and others.
In the Inheritance Land of the Blood Purification Sect, Wan Tinggui, with eyes closed, sat within the Array. In front of him, an image projected in mid-air, naturally showing Bai Sheng inspecting the Mountain Gate.
"It seems he hasn't noticed us."
Su Youyi whispered as she watched the scene.
"With the Heavenly Escape Talisman concealing the Heavenly Mechanism, it'd be weird if he did discover us." Mister Orange casually pointed to the mystical talisman covering everyone in the sky and commented.
"But knowing White Tiger Envoy's temperament, would he really dutifully take the normal path?"
Liang Yi, seeing Bai Sheng in the image, murmured doubtfully.
Would this ruthlessly violent man comply when blocked by the Great Formations of the Blood Purification Sect?
"If he wants the inheritance, he has no choice but to go through it."
Wan Tinggui, still with closed eyes, spoke with confidence,
Upon hearing this, Liang Yi looked up to continue watching the image, curious about what Wan Tinggui would do.
Only to see Bai Sheng inspecting the already dilapidated Mountain Gate, from which one could vaguely discern the past prominence of the Blood Purification Sect, albeit now destroyed.
Bai Sheng took a step forward, entering into the domain of the Blood Purification Sect's Mountain Gate, with his killing intent beginning to boil over, and the phantom of a White Tiger appearing behind him, roaring resoundingly through the heavens and the earth!
He was tired of searching bit by bit; he wanted to destroy all the Arrays that restricted him and directly scan the entire sect with his Divine Sense.
But just as Bai Sheng was about to make his move, a pale red Spirit Light shot out from the broken Mountain Gate, slowly landing in front of Bai Sheng.
Bai Sheng paused, this sudden turn of events made him momentarily calm his urge to act, and he reached out to hold the Spirit Light that only contained a message and no other properties.
"To obtain the inheritance, must I walk through from within the sect?"
After reading the message in the Spirit Light, Bai Sheng's expression turned somewhat ugly, his fingers trembling involuntarily, and the killing intent in his eyes flickered coldly, chilling even Liang Yi and others who were just watching through the image.
Bai Sheng was truly upset to the extreme, finding the Blood Purification Sect, even so long after its destruction, still so infuriating!
His time was very tight, and if his incarnation was exposed on the other side, then after the battle ended, the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty would definitely investigate his tracks, and he was not certain that he would not be discovered.
But if he chose not to walk honestly through the sect but intended to forcefully erase the Array and explore on his own, the self-destruct Array set up by the Array Master of the Blood Purification Sect would activate, instantly destroying the entire Secret Realm, and any inheritance would be erased without a trace.
To open the hidden treasure vault that contained the inheritance, he must pass through the ruins, there was no other way.
If it were any other time, with the explosive temperament of the White Tiger Envoy, he would definitely confront it head-on.
No one has ever dared to threaten him to his face!
But this time, the Blood Nether Cleansing Heart Array was too important to him, important enough that he now had to find this Array Map.
Moreover, having learned of the history of the Blood Purification Sect from the previous epoch, Bai Sheng actually had some fear of this sect, which was focused crazily on studying Arrays, fearing that it may have left some hidden contingencies.
The Great Formation initially could erase an Abyss Envoy at the Ninth Realm Great Perfection, even though it had been wiped by the Abyss, leaving another formation that could erase a cultivator of Eighth Realm mid-stage power should not be difficult.
Holding the Spirit Light, Bai Sheng's expression was conflicted, his demeanor fluctuating wildly, yet in the end he gritted his teeth and chose to compromise.
The boiling killing intent on Bai Sheng and the white tiger phantom behind him gradually disappeared, and after glancing at the Mountain Gate, he stepped into the Blood Purification Sect.
Since he had to walk through, he would see how many Arrays within these ruins could still be used, and how many could pose a threat to him.
"Thought it through so quickly, I thought he would hesitate for a while···"
Wan Tinggui did not know that after learning about the history of the Blood Purification Sect, Bai Sheng had already developed some fear, which was why even she was surprised.
In her expectation, Bai Sheng naturally had two outcomes, agree or disagree, but regardless of which, she had contingencies prepared. But unexpectedly, the man only pondered for a few breaths before choosing to agree, much faster than she had anticipated!
Stepping into the ruins, Bai Sheng discovered that he could freely extend his Divine Sense. It seemed that the Array outside only restricted exploring the sect from the outside, a type of Array that almost every sect had installed.
After entering, Bai Sheng received no hints; he looked around only to see a scene of wreckage everywhere, no sign of vitality, nor any trace of the grandeur once possessed by the Array Formation Grandmaster.
Faced with such a scene, Bai Sheng's heart did not ripple at all. He had secretly done many acts of annihilating sects before, so to him, this was nothing strange.
When the Devouring Spirit Sect was still hidden on the Mystical Mechanism Continent, almost every mission requiring action involved him and his subordinates. During that century, most of the incidents of vendettas and annihilations were his doing.
Only by creating chaos in the Cultivation World of the Mystical Mechanism Continent could their Devouring Spirit Sect hide amidst the turmoil and benefit like a Fisherman.
Thus, for Bai Sheng, the extent of the Blood Purification Sect really wasn't enough to cause any emotional wave, and even if Bai Sheng were to annihilate a sect, nothing would remain, no living creature would be left.
Even more ruthless, after looting all resources and inheritance of the sect, he would flatten the sect, cutting off any possibility of its resurgence, unlike the Abyss which strangely left a ruined sect capable of passing on its inheritance.
However, Bai Sheng also felt a bit fortunate, thankful that the Abyss didn't flatten this place; otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to find that Blood Nether Cleansing Heart Array.
Having received no hints, Bai Sheng walked aimlessly through the ruins, using his Divine Sense to recklessly investigate every piece of debris.
As he knew, this Blood Nether Cleansing Heart Array wasn't actually of particularly high grade, nor was it very famous in the previous epoch.
Thus, this type of Array might not necessarily be preserved in some particularly hard-to-find secret chamber, most likely it might just be buried somewhere in the sect.
"Collapsed into this state, it's really a bit hard to find where the Blood Purification Sect's Scripture Pavilion is···"
Bai Sheng was frustrated, genuinely unable to distinguish any specific location from this pile of rubble, it was just a pile of shattered stones.
"Good that I can use Divine Sense to scout···"
The Divine Sense of an Eighth Realm cultivator could extend very far, and even though the White Tiger Envoy was not primarily focusing on this area and had greatly reduced the scope of the reconnaissance to carefully examine beneath the ruins, he still explored the entire sect ruins at an incredibly fast speed.
But just then, a faint yet distinct sense of crisis suddenly struck!
Just as Bai Sheng's Divine Sense normally swept over a section of the ruins, unknowingly triggering something, the Array Spirit Light suddenly lit up from the ruins, a pale cyan intricate Array unfolded, and an extremely massive force of gravity descended from the sky!
Caught off-guard while mid-air, Bai Sheng was directly smashed into the ruins by the suddenly increased gravity, raising a great cloud of dust!
"Damn it!"
Bai Sheng's forehead veins bulged, his teeth clattering from the pressure, under the effect of the gravity his whole body was flushed, his skin turning bright red.
He really hadn't expected that the Blood Purification Sect would still have such an Array operating, although it didn't cause him any harm, being caught off-guard like this resulted in such a dusty and disheveled state, it was like capsizing in a ditch!
This Array wasn't much of a threat to him, it couldn't cause any threat to his life, and it was also very concealed, which made his sense of crisis react a half-beat slow.
However, before the White Tiger had even used brute force to escape from this gravity Array, his face suddenly changed, shocked, he looked up towards the sky now filled with Array Spirit Light!
"What does surprise mean, this damn thing is a surprise!"
Liang Yi and his people were gleefully watching the scene of the White Tiger Envoy being baffled by the Array.
Just then, right beside him, Wan Tinggui with a stern expression activated all the Arrays laid out in the ruins.
