Cultivating to Become a Great Celestial

Chapter 42.2: To Protect or to Destroy

After Su Tingyun was thrown into the cauldron, the cauldron lid was placed on. The surrounding heat hurt so much that it destroyed the binding force placed on her and she started hissing in pain. She struggled for her life in the caudron. Just like the way the pills in her cauldron used to react when she condensed them, she also attacked the walls of the cauldron, causing loud clangs.

However, the red-crowned crane cauldron was a high level cauldron. No matter how she struggled, there was no effect and the people outside couldn’t hear anything.

Su Tingyun was about to fall apart. But at this time, a trickle of coolness once again seeped out from the ring on her finger. At the same time, the pill fire in her primordial spirit abruptly surged up.

“What’s going on?” Dan Fengyang couldn’t afford to be distracted while refining this pill. Liu Feizhou had been staring at the cauldron this entire time, so he saw when a flame escaped from the cauldron. In the flame, he seemed to see a human figure.

It was a young girl, but the flame disappeared the moment he blinked and that figure also vanished without a trace.

“Idiot, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help this master.” Something strange had happened to his pill fire. It was like his pill fire was going into a insatiable black hole.

“Offer your pill fire, hurry!”

…

“Su Lijiang was born with a radiant yang physique. Back then, he lost some of his main yang energy to Wei Yun, which ended up nourishing Wei Yun’s flesh. This is why she’s an essential component of the radiant yang pill.”

“H-her clothes are still on. Are you going to throw her into the cauldron just like this?”

“It’s not like you’re eating the human pill, why do you care about that?”

Li Xinmei was standing outside the array hall in an area of grass. Below her were lots of orchid tongue grasses. The largest of them was no bigger than the size of a palm, the smallest was only the size of a bean sprout.

All of the orchid tongue grasses were grumbling to each other. By listening to their conversation, Li Xinmei found out about everything that happened.

Wuliang Sect was one of the seven largest orthodox sects.

That Supreme Elder who was in the Crossing Tribulation Stage actually wanted to refine Grannie into a human pill!

A sect like this had the nerve to call themselves orthodox!?

Li Xinmei swallowed the sixth rank spirit condensation pill without hesitation. The pill instantly dissolved and her dantian filled with an surge of energy that she had never experienced before.

Her eyes shone with dazzling golden light. At the same time, her spiritual consciousness formed hundreds of thousands of thin strands and stretched out to touch the diagram outside the Array Sect.

The Array Sect’s diagram contained the protection array that E Changguang had left for Wuliang Sect. Although her ability was low, her talent was very high. She had been studying arrays all these past years but she still wasn’t able to figure out a way to destroy this array.

However, she had inherited E Changguang’s universe array eyes. Even though it wasn’t complete, it was enough for this. Who asked for her to have discovered an interesting phenomenon a while back? E Changguang also didn’t seem to completely love and respect Wuliang Sect either.

Before she left, she left a mark on the diagram. Today, Li Xinmei would fulfill E Changguang’s dream.

If not protect, then destroy.

Li Xinmei lifted both hands to make the hand sign and the characters on the diagram lit up one by one. It was like the stars lighting up in the dark curtain of night. In the blink an eye, a cosmos filled the space.

“Who’s there?

“Huh? Li Xinmei, why’s it you?”

Fang Dingyuan watched Li Xinmei and asked, “Are you studying the diagram? Li Xinmei, could it be that you’ve really understood the diagram?”

Fang Dingyuan’s breathing started to quicken. His gaze was fervent as he stared at Li Xinmei. Suddenly, she turned back and smiled sweetly at him.

“That’s right ah.” Originally, she was like a quiet celestial draped in the frosty light of the moon, but because of that smile, her water ink-like features deepened in intensity and filled with color like a blooming red lotus.

The red was dazzling and pierced one’s heart.

In the next instant, countless blinding lights flew into the sky from the array diagram and pierced the clouds like countless blades, causing the dark sky to suddenly light up.

“It’s an enemy attack!”

“The great protection array has been activated!”

Everyone in Wuliang Sect was alarmed but no one could find the enemies. They watched in astonishment as those countless sword rays, instead of attacking outside enemies, turned to point towards the people of the Wuliang Sect.

The great protection array was made to protect the Wuliang Sect. Once initiated, it’d create countless swords of light to kill the enemy. The most formidable swords would naturally target the strongest enemies.

On Heaven Firmament Peak, the Supreme Elder abruptly looked up, his face filled with astonishment.
