Chapter 645: Chapter 554 Control Room

But to be exposed before even going in, that was just a head-on confrontation, the difference was huge.

Xuanming hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Wang Zijia quickly added some sweeteners. He said, "You can guess why I am here. The moment we slip in, even if we are discovered, we can fight back and destroy the core formation room."

"At that time, when I start the battle, you will have the chance to find the person you’re looking for amidst the chaos. I’ll take the pressure, it’s you who stands to gain. For you, it’s a win-win situation."

Xuanming wasn’t swayed by Wang Zijia. He thought to himself, that he couldn’t squat here for long anyway, the present method was the best one.

Luckily, he didn’t hesitate anymore.

He flipped his hand, and a jade talisman, as wide as two fingers and seemingly piled up with runes, appeared in his hand.

It looked like a Fu Treasure, or some sort of special talisman weapon, similar to Wang Zijia’s Void Spirit Jade Talisman.

Since the ’The Sixth Age Daoism Is Not Easily Spread’, every family was studying the way of the Dao, hoping to pave their own path to become immortal.

As one of the highest peaks among the hundred arts, Talisman Way naturally flourished.

This sort of Fu Treasure was rare in the Lower Three Realms, but quite common in the Middle Third Boundary. Of course, the cost and consumption of creating them varied widely.

The traditional way was to draw energy from Magic Treasures, but this was too costly. Some, like Wang Zijia’s, were talisman weapons, while others used demonic beast’s demon pills or the bones of the deceased as materials.

The methods were numerous!

Jade Rune Treasures were not unique to Wang Zijia.

Of course, there were probably not many who could encapsulate them like he did.

Xuanming held the jade talisman, with a slight move of his mana and mind, the jade talisman started to flash intensely with spiritual light.

The next moment, the jade talisman in his hand turned into a delicate spirit bug that resembled a stick insect.

The spirit insect wasn’t big, just half a finger size. Its body was slender and transparent.

However, in Wang Zijia’s eyes, this bug was entirely made of numerous runes, just like his crystal sand technique.

Xuanming carefully placed the spirit bug on his formation light screen, and the bug immediately stuck on it.

After a short while, the surrounding light screen suddenly lit up, and countless runes appeared on it.

As the stick insect laid on the light screen, its bug legs turned into threads composed of runes and inserted themselves into the runes of the light screen.

The runes from its body shot quickly into the light screen, causing the runes on the light screen to keep surfacing. The two types of runes merged together but were also clearly distinct.

It was as if a gigantic broken mark had appeared under the insect’s feet, and it was spreading like a net around the light screen.

Fortunately, even though it appeared to be a significant movement, everything was happening silently, without a single ripple spreading out, barely reliable.

’Central Immortal Domain, huh? There’s clearly a wide gap! Just any Infant God Monarch can take out such a treasure, no wonder that in this Shen Hong Realm, those in the Tribulation stage are also only Middle Third Boundary monks!’

Looking at this peculiar array-breaking Fu treasure, Wang Zijia couldn’t help but sigh.

You see, a Seventh-Rank Immortal Array is already the core power of a few top apex forces in the Spirit Suppressing Realm. Even though this thing could only sneak through, it was still terrifying.

······

While Wang Zijia was engrossed in his thoughts, the stick insect-like creature became more transparent. It had practically injected all the runes from its body into a small area of the light screen in front of it.

The myriad of runes on that part of the light screen were disrupted, looking like a dense crack.

"Pop!"

In an instant, with a soft sound, a small hole was broken open in the light screen.

At the same time as the hole was opened, a faint ripple spread out.

Although it wasn’t big, it could probably be noticed by those on guard.

"Go!"

Wang Zijia’s figure suddenly disappeared. He fully activated the Concealment Technique, and went into it directly.

Xuanming hesitated only for a moment before decisively turning around and rushing towards the spot where Wang Zijia had stopped to feed earlier.

Seeing this, Wang Zijia didn’t stop him.

The two of them had only teamed up temporarily and naturally made the most advantageous decision for themselves each time.

He also didn’t have time to stop him, as the formation light screen was healing very quickly.

······

Wang Zijia hid his figure and rapidly dove into the core area of the array.

Before his eyes, was a massive hall surrounded by several towering broken statues. It was obviously a temple.

However, these statues looked strange with green faces and fangs, and their expressions were hideous.

It was clearly a Ghost God Temple, which resembled a temple for the ten Yama Kings!

The hall was vast, with five broken statues standing in the middle.

There was a light orb flickering slightly at the main seat in the center of the hall. It didn’t make a lot of commotion.

Obviously, Xuanming’s method was extremely high-end. The crumbling array had a lot of gaps, and it failed to notice the problem and initiate an alarm.

And it seemed like there was nobody guarding this place, which caused the small ripple from earlier to go unnoticed.

Wang Zijia, who had breathed a sigh of relief in secret, came to the light orb that was clearly the ’server core’ of the burial Spirit Sect’s array. He looked at it for a moment.

Only when he got closer did he clearly see that the light orb, which seemed to be materialized by energy rune, was full of cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.

"So it’s that broken? It seems like array spirit and all that, I was just overthinking it!"

"These broken things, low-level disciples can hardly assist in defending, it requires at least a God Monarch to handle."

"Even so, as a core area of a sect, there should be someone on duty, right? Considering the size of the Burial Spirit Sect, deploying a God Monarch for duty shouldn’t be an issue."

"Or is this a normal situation for the Demon Sect?"

"Just like some high-tech companies in the previous life’s foreign land, the server room is heavily sealed, but no one is guarding it. Even people qualified to go in are few and far between?"

Staring at the broken control core in front of him, Wang Zijia’s eyebrows furrowed, his thoughts racing.

Without revealing any form, he quickly investigated the entire grand hall.

After a while, Wang Zijia finally confirmed that there was really no one around.

Indeed, there is a considerable difference between the Demon Sect and the Daoist School. After all, at the Daoist School, people are on duty all day in the control room.

Of course, very few people can access the core content.

Upon confirming repeatedly, this ’broken server room’ was indeed heavily locked down, without anyone on duty.

Wang Zijia looked at the orb of light in front of him, not immediately making a move.

Instead, he sat down right where he was.

······

Outside, at the place where Wang Zijia had paused earlier, the Skin Demon stealthily lurked.

In a moment, Xuanming hurriedly arrived and rushed towards the grand hall.

The Skin Demon, controlled by Wang Zijia’s divine thought, subtly reacted and learned of the specifics from its main body.

He didn’t recklessly reveal himself, but stealthily followed.

Xuanming quickly passed through the grand hall, which also had a defense array like that of the main control room.

However, due to the issue of frequent entries, access to this place was not too strict, and had already been quietly obtained by Xuanming through unknown means.

He probably replicated the earlier disciples’ method of entry and exit.

He quickly activated the formation and stealthily drill inside.

The Skin Demon followed in.

It was another giant temple, and in the middle of the temple was an altar that was obviously newly built.

The altar was filled with traces of blood, making the densely packed runes look somewhat less proper.

Again, no one was on duty here.

Apparently, just like those high-tech companies in his previous life, even though it was difficult to enter or exit the core areas, no one was on duty.

The advantage of this was that it effectively kept some things under control and prevented many unexpected situations.

But the disadvantage was also evident.

Once there were enough measures to avoid these, ’thieves’ who infiltrated the ’company’ would find it easier to operate internally than externally.

Upon reaching the altar, Xuanming didn’t act rashly. Instead, he waited quietly for something.

······

About seven minutes later, the Skin Demon stirred, Wang Zijia’s consciousness took over again, taking possession of the creature.

After receiving the information from the divine thought, Wang Zijia looked at Xuanming, who had waited quietly in front of the altar, and suddenly said, "Are you waiting for me to break the formation, so you can make your move at the same time?"

Wang Zijia’s sudden words caused Xuanming to be momentarily startled, almost losing his composure.

He stayed silent for a while before saying, "Fellow Daoist Li indeed has good skill, to be able to appear and disappear unpredictably even in other people’s forbidden areas!"

"It’s mutual, isn’t Fellow Daoist Xuanming doing the same?" Wang Zijia asked sarcastically emerging from his stealth."

"If Fellow Daoist Li wants to demand accountability for what happened just now, I’m afraid I might disappoint you." Xuanming, carefully watching Wang Zijia, responded.

Wang Zijia shook his head and said, "We already agreed on this matter, so there is no need to talk about accountability."

"Then why hasn’t fellow Daoist started breaking the formation?" Xuanming asked.

"To provide you with a wedding dress?" Wang Zijia, half-smiling, looked at Xuanming and replied, "I may not be sure what’s inside, but it clearly doesn’t look like any dungeon, right?"

Xuanming stayed silent for a while before finally saying, "I am indeed here to find somebody!"

Wang Zijia nodded and said, "Mmm, understood, you came following the steps of an ancestor, trying to explore, and it’s normal to say you’re looking for someone by the way."

Xuanming once again fell silent. Everyone being no fool, some things were clear at a glance, after all, this place was not that complex.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Xuanming no longer intends to fool me, so can you tell me what’s going on here?" Wang Zijia asked.

Xuanming shook his head and said, "I don’t know!"

Wang Zijia’s brow furrowed, "Well, that’s not fun!"

"I really don’t know!" Xuanming looked at Wang Zijia earnestly and said, "I only found from some legacy notes in the Sect that our elders have found some relics of a Ghost God."

"After probing in multiple ways, I found this place."

"As for the specific information about this place, I’m not quite sure. But what I can confirm is that the Burial Spirit Sect has not yet grasped it, or at the very least they haven’t obtained the most core thing."

"The establishment of this Sect is clearly just a means to aid in their plans. This is probably why there are hardly any people stationed
