Chapter 1346: 1001: Chaos Trigram Disc (Part 2)

Thus, when You Lai was receiving the transmission of the cultivation technique, taking advantage of his mental disturbance, I managed to glimpse the spell and purpose of using the Mirror of Evil. As the rumors were indeed true, and the Mirror of Evil did not offer me any additional aid, I abandoned the idea of seizing it. If Mr. Jiang is interested, I can teach you the spell.

You Lai has now fallen and his life is uncertain on the Yingtian Star; if you wish to find him, you can use that spell. Within a certain range, you can use spiritual power to activate the spell to sense the location of the Mirror of Evil.

I think, no matter how destitute You Lai becomes, he is still the heir of the Mi Clan, wealthy and possessing countless treasures and endless tactics. Even if the Observatory is strong, they may not be able to root him out, so perhaps Mr. Jiang could use the spell and the Mirror of Evil to find his hiding place."

Jiang Yuan gave a signal with his eyes, and the Elder Scholar immediately understood, taking out pen, ink, paper, and an inkstone for him to write it down.

[Spell to activate the Mirror of Evil and sense its location]

Taking the note, he glanced at it and was stunned, damn it! Even the system doesn’t allow this to be seen?!

"Scholar, now that the army of anomalies numbering two or three thousand need to drink water and eat, relying solely on the storage bag seems a bit troublesome, doesn’t it?"

"Uh... indeed, it’s not very convenient. Although the materials provided by Jiang are plenty, one must take them out piece by piece and distribute them piece by piece, often resulting in this group having finished eating while that group hasn’t even received theirs yet." The Elder Scholar, who is adept at reading cues, observed helplessly with furrowed brows.

Shen Xingzhi, being capable of wielding the Leisure Sect, and also pioneering cultivation techniques, is naturally no fool.

Upon hearing this, he bowed to Jiang Yuan, saying, "Over the years, I’ve also gathered quite a few treasures, all in the storage bag. There’s just one divine artifact I couldn’t completely refine, which I’m willing to give to Mr. Jiang in exchange for merit."

Click to leave the quest, and transfer to Linzhou City.

According to Shen Xingzhi’s explanation, Jiang Yuan quickly found in his small courtyard, the seemingly unimpressive Chaos Trigram Disc.

[Bind Chaos Trigram Disc?]

[Bound, click to use]

[1. Click to enter the space within the Trigram Disc]

[2. Click to export the storage array within the Trigram Disc]

[Please add the corresponding materials to export the corresponding array]

......

"So the so-called Tribulation Crossing Array is actually the Chaos Array exported from the Trigram Disc!" Only now did Jiang Yuan suddenly realize—the Chaos Array is an array from the Celestial Realm used to battle the Outer Heaven Demons, infusing it with traits extracted from anomalies to provide a protective layer immune to the perception of Outer Heaven Demons for the celestial soldiers and generals.

In some respects, Shen Xingzhi is indeed a genius.

Accidentally, he acquired this divine artifact, believed by everyone to be an ordinary Trigram Disc, from a stall and nurtured it meticulously, only then realizing it was a divine artifact from the Celestial Realm!

A physician who doesn’t understand magical artifacts or arrays yet slowly researched the usage and used the information obtained within the Trigram Disc to create the Bone-Dissolving Evil Technique based on his physician’s talent.

Celestial Gods extract anomalies as raw materials to kill demons ruthlessly;

Shen Xingzhi refines the essence of all beings, confusing others and aiding evil cultivators.

"Tsk, an item used in the right place is good; in the wrong place, it’s bad, all depending on the user’s conscience." Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.

Used by Shen Xingzhi to place various storage arrays in the small space within the Trigram Disc, originally intended for storing combat supplies, an array can be generated by selecting the number of tokens to accompany it, allowing supplies to be extracted by tokens.

He first stored the materials needed for constructing the array and flashed into the new quest.

"How is it? Did the fellow explain thoroughly?" The Elder Scholar approached and whispered, "Will you give him a position?"

Having acquired the divine artifact and copied Shen Xingzhi’s secret stash, Jiang Yuan had gained abundantly. He nodded in response to the inquiry: "You consider and give him a suitable position."

Then he stepped forward and demanded, "Pass on your complete ’Bone-Dissolving Evil Technique’ to me, and have the Elder Scholar write it down as well."

"As Qi Baijun said, you also know the Soul-Devouring Demon Skill." Shen Xingzhi nodded, smiled, and said, "Now you want to learn my Bone-Dissolving Evil Technique, be cautious; if the Righteous Cultivators knew you cultivated evil techniques, you might incur the fatal consequence of being hunted."

[The peculiar Shen Xingzhi is passing on the ’Bone-Dissolving Evil Technique’ to you, do you accept the learning?]

Click to learn, the progress bar slowly advanced with the opening and closing of the other party’s mouth.

When it finally finished, Jiang Yuan stood up, looked around at the army of anomalies, and asked, "Who doesn’t want to live anymore, you can step forward now."

Anomalies suffer, anomalies weary, anomalies of eternal life and unending endurance is simply the most terrifying punishment.

However, when faced with the choice of death at this moment, even the anomaly who usually shouts the loudest shrank back. It is said that a good death is better than a miserable existence, but now as long as they are willing to work, they can earn food and drink, it hasn’t become unlivable where they must perish, who would be willing to throw away life?

"Since no one is willing to die, then let’s use elimination." He cast a glance at the Elder Scholar, who immediately understood and looked at Qi Baijun, "Select one to step out."

After contemplating for two seconds, Qi Baijun loudly declared, "Zhang Qiu, step out! You are always talking about wanting to die, now Mr. Jiang shows benevolence, it’s fitting to fulfill your wish."

"No! I don’t want to die!" The named anomaly was frightened and trembled, kneeling and kowtowing, "Commander, I was wrong. I will never again say things that shake the army’s morale, spare me from death! Mr. Jiang, be merciful and spare me, I don’t want to die! Don’t want to die!"

Oh dear, Qi Baijun is using this as an opportunity to organize the workplace.

Jiang Yuan wasn’t in the mood to waste words with it, and amid the anomalies pushing it out, targeted it using the new skill, the Bone-Dissolving Evil Technique.

"Save me! Commander, save me!"

"Elder Immortal, save me!"

"Mr. Jiang, spare my life!"

Being a new skill at Level 0, each usage required a cooldown of about one minute, he leisurely used it five times, only then refining the increasingly faint body into a mass of light gray, elastic jello-like substance.

[Anomaly Soul +1]

[Failed to trigger side quest, gather Celestial fragments collapsing to randomly trigger]

It indeed works!

The cultivation technique deduced by Shen Xingzhi can refine living beings into essence, and also refine anomalies into souls, serving as raw materials for the Chaos Array. Although the side quest wasn’t triggered now, judging by the requirements, it’s definitely a material needed in the late stages.

Hehe, now breeding the army of anomalies to open quests occasionally slicing pieces for side quests, they will serve as wholesome material reserves in the future.

"Anyone else wants to die?" He surveyed them, a playful smile on his face.

Having firsthand witnessed the terrifying process of refining, all anomalies trembled in fear. In times of desperation, death isn’t fearsome, but now it’s possible to live, enduring such torture before dying, the thought alone is spine-chilling!

"If not, that’s fine." Jiang Yuan, seeing the deterrent effect, waved his hand smiling, "Let them go back to doing whatever they were doing."

Having been given the position of Commanding General, Shen Xingzhi sighed deeply.

Unexpectedly, the unique skill he developed could actually be used to refine anomalies!

Alas, now as an anomaly, unable to use spiritual energy, the Bone-Dissolving Evil Technique certainly turned into a mere exchange for merit. Once excited about refining living people, now consumed with fear, his self-created technique became a tool for the other party to rebalance against him, a feeling of infinite melancholy in his heart.

Thousands of anomalies were members of the Leisure Sect, they once used this evil technique to devour and refine living mortals or demon cultivators, but only when personally witnessing their kind being devoured and refined, suffering excruciating pain with no place to hide and nowhere to escape, did they truly understand fear.

After this intimidation, the army of anomalies became more obedient, frequently talking about seeking death, has quieted down, not daring to say even a word about "death."

Jiang Yuansheng used Real Test 100 to dismantle the arrays of the Wilderness World and the Yingtian Star within the space of the Trigram Disc into materials, then exported a storage array, generating twenty tokens.

He placed all visible food and water for the anomalies within, handing the tokens to the Elder Scholar, so that in the future he wouldn’t have to frequently replenish the materials of his storage bag.

Once the current quest is opened, dismantle the array then transfer it to other quests, consumption isn’t excessive.

"The Yingtian Star is completely closed now, it cannot be entered." Clicking to leave the new quest, Jiang Yuansheng went to take a quick look at the simplistic Observatory, indicating temporary closure without transmission.

Returning to the courtyard to assess the harvest of recent days, the storage bag along with numerous storage boxes and warehouses were overflowing.

Taking out the note with the spell written on it, he muses that both first and second disciples are on Yingtian Star. However, the former hasn’t left seclusion, and the latter has weak combat strength, especially when involving a divine artifact; a reliable combat force is required.

While contemplating, Jiang Yuan casually opened the page to check the current status of the first disciple, then his eyes widened—Wan Mingchuan’s level bar was actually dropping?!
