“Do you know which array is the most famous in You Prefecture?”
Lin Xuan shook his head. He didn’t know much about this, but he thought that it was either one of the Big Three or the Extreme Demon Cave.
However, before he could say anything, Tian Xiaojian said it himself, “It’s right in front of you.”
“The Cloud-Splitting Light Array?”
“That’s right. Otherwise, why do you think they can coexist with others peacefully? It has been like a paradise for thousands of years. Was it really just because it’s far from the center of You Prefecture?” Tian Xiaojian’s face showed a trace of sarcasm, “You must know that the Spiritual Vein of Heavenly Vision Mountain Mountain is not small and they possess several medicinal herbs that are said to be extinct in the outside world. There are numerous sects that have uncanny ideas about this sect. If not for the power of the Cloud-Splitting Light Array, the Heavenly Vision Sect would have long been uprooted by other people.”
“Several medicinal herbs that have long since disappeared?” Hearing this, Lin Xuan’s expression was moved, he sneaked a glimpse at Tian Xiaojian, only to find that he looked as usual, just as if he was talking about a trivial little thing.
Contrary to Lin Xuan’s inner thoughts, he naturally did not show the slightest change. He pretended to be surprised and said, “Could it be the work of the Cloud-Splitting Light Array? But as far as I know, Heavenly Vision Mountain’s two founders passed away. Although there has never been an expert in the Nascent Soul Stage again, there are still many Core Formation Stage cultivators, except for the Big Three, as well as the Demonic Dao three factions, I don’t think they would be afraid of anyone. “
“Haha, these are just rumors,” Tian Xiaojian shook the folding fan in a casual manner.
“What? Am I wrong?” Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
“You can’t say it’s all wrong, but there are just some things that aren’t completely true!” Tian Xiaojian smiled faintly, “Heavenly Vision Mountain has been passed down till now. It has been more than 3,000 years old, and it’s indeed very prosperous now. There are seven or eight masters in the Core Formation Stage. Especially the sect master, Daoist Master Ku Mu, who practices an extraordinary Cultivation Method. It was said that he almost condensed a Nascent Soul, although he ended up falling short. But his Spiritual Power is far better than the general Core Formation Stage Expert. There are also hundreds of Foundation Establishment Stage disciples. Except for the Big Three and the Demonic Path, their strength is capable of squeezing into the first class.”
Tian Xiaojian talked eloquently, but when it came to this, he changed the subject, “But before this, in the past three thousand years, the Heavenly Vision Faction has not always been so prosperous. It has risen and fallen several times, especially 1500 years ago, the entire Sect had fallen to the bottom.”
“Oh?” Lin Xuan was really intrigued by the young man in front of him, “Tell me about it.”
“At that time, several senior elders of the Heavenly Vision Sect had just passed away, and the entire sect was in the most dangerous situation. It was said that except for the sect master who barely managed to condense a Golden Core. The others all remained in the Foundation Establishment Stage, but at that time, a few ancient herbs in the back valley just happened to mature…” Tian Xiaojian’s eloquence was amazing. Even if he didn’t step into the path of cultivation, he could still switch to being a storyteller and would still be successful.
“An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. Many sects of the two paths were greedy for the Spiritual Vein. Now, with the temptation of Spirit Herbs, how can they resist? Immediately, several sects attacked them.”
“In terms of strength, although those sects were not among the top, each one had three or four Core Formation Stage experts. Added together. There were sixteen to seventeen of them, and their strength was very powerful. It could be said there is no suspense in this battle, and Heavenly Vision Mountain would be destroyed sooner or later.”
“However, the result was out of everyone’s expectations. The Heavenly Vision Mountain did not move to relocate but rose to battle. At that time everyone laughed at them for trying to hit a stone with an egg, but in the end, those sects with evil intentions were all annihilated.”
“Was it because of the Cloud-Splitting Light Array?” Lin Xuan couldn’t help but interrupt.
“Mm,” Tian Xiaojian nodded, with a strange look flashing deep in his eyes, “Although those few sects probably knew that there may be a sect protecting array, and envisioned on how to deal with it. But overall, they still were contemptuous and underestimated them. After all, a few sects formed a temporary alliance, just their Core Formation Stage experts were relatively enough to end it, not to mention those more than eight hundred Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, it should have been easy to destroy them… “
“However, when the Cloud-Splitting Light Array was activated, the situation suddenly changed. The specific battle situation was not revealed. As the Heavenly Vision Sect did not disclose it. They only knew that the disciples of those several sects were all dead or captured. And none of them escaped.”
“Is it really so powerful?” Although the other party was confident in the authenticity of his words, Lin Xuan still didn’t completely believe him. It was too exaggerated to annihilate that many cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage and above.
“Haha, the people who heard this for the first time, all reacted like this,” Tian Xiaojian did not think that it was a problem, “But this matter is absolutely true, and it’s said that the array only used half of its power.”
“Half of its power?” This time, Lin Xuan was really moved, but then there was a hint of a sneer on his face, “Really? Is it not that those cultivators from Heavenly Vision Sect are only bragging about it?”
“This…There’s really no way to prove it, but I don’t think it’s a lie. Logically speaking, this Cloud-Splitting Light Array is really amazingly powerful, the people presiding over it have to be in the Core Formation Stage. However, at that time, except for the sect master in the Core Formation Initial Stage, all the others were in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it’s possible that they were only able to unleash a part of its power.” Tian Xiaojian sighed and said with a hint of envy.
“In any case, after this battle, the Heavenly Vision Sect certainly attracted everyone’s attention. The Cloud-Splitting Light Array became even more famous and well-known. Although it possessed a lot of herbs and an amazing Spiritual Vein. However, no one dared to step forward.”
“And after more than a hundred years, the Heavenly Vision Sect finally passed through the most difficult stage. Several disciples achieved the Core Formation Stage, and the Sect Master entered the Core Formation Late-stage, the whole Sect re-prospered. But if it weren’t for the Cloud-Splitting Light Array, the whole sect would have been annihilated.”
