Qin Yun and company carefully investigated in front of the Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley.
“What a powerful array formation.” Kong Xuan frowned as he looked at it.
“I’ve made many attempts. There’s no way for me to crack it,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “The person who set up the array had attainments comparable to mine; however, the core of this array formation involves the mysteries of space-time. My insights into the Great Dao of Space-time are insufficient, so I’m unable to crack it.”
Kong Xuan nodded as well. “It is a space-time array formation. I’m not good enough for this either.”
Kong Xuan was best at the Five Elements.
“Both Palatial Lord Myriad Flower and I are unable to crack it, then there’s only one solution left.” Kong Xuan looked at Qin Yun and Hou Yi. “That’s to crack it with overwhelming force! This array formation is ultimately an array formation at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm. If a move at the Heavenly Dao realm is used, it should be enough to crack it.”
There was a qualitative change going from the half-step Heavenly Dao realm to the Heavenly Dao realm.
For instance, for Hou Yi’s nine arrows, the first arrow had the might of a half-step Heavenly Dao realm, but it was only at the ninth arrow that it accumulated enough strength to release the might of the Heavenly Dao realm.
“I’ll give it a try,” said Hou Yi.
“Brother Hou Yi, we’ll be counting on you.” Qin Yun felt anticipation as well. As long as they cracked the array and entered, there was a chance of obtaining three divine fruits. If not, their trip would have been a waste.
Hou Yi flipped his hand and produced his huge ancient and unadorned bow.
He pulled his bow to a full draw, and a golden arrow pointed ahead.
“Be careful. Do not damage the divine fruit’s trees,” said Palatial Lord Myriad Flower immediately. “I once entered briefly in an attempt to crack the array and barely managed to see the location of the trees.” With that said, he pointed at a spot deep into the mountain valley.
“Don’t worry. I will try to avoid that spot. Besides, cracking it with overwhelming force will take time,” said Hou Yi. The first eight arrows of his nine successive arrows were powerful enough.
Whoosh.
When the arrow shot into the space-time array, it immediately caused ripples, but fell to the ground outside the array. The golden arrow then flew back to Hou Yi.
Hou Yi very calmly shot one arrow after another. As the might of the arrows increased, they penetrated deeper into the array, allowing them to see more of the true colors of the space-time array formation.
“It’s the eighth arrow.” Qin Yun and company watched carefully as the eighth arrow was delivered.
“Boom~” The space-time array quaked as a portion began to waver. Cracks in the array showed, enough to allow Qin Yun and company to see the situation inside the array.
They saw a fruit tree which was entirely golden deep in the valley. Its roots reached deep into a gloating space-time stream.
With another quiver of the array formation, the inside situation could no longer be seen.
“The eighth arrow is already capable of stirring this array.” Kong Xuan revealed a look of delight.
“The ninth arrow will definitely crack it.” Qin Yun was thrilled as well.
Palatial Lord Myriad Flower watched by the side in envy as he sighed inwardly, “In the spatial tide, having strength at the Heavenly Dao realm would make one a legendary expert.”
Only after reaching the half-step Heavenly Dao realm did one know how difficult it was to go one step further to produce the might of the Heavenly Dao realm.
And it was because it was too difficult…
Half-step Heavenly Dao realm experts in the physical lineage were utterly domineering in the spatial tide! Third Supremacy Mochen had reigned supreme for an extended period of time before succumbing to Bohan Island Lord. Of course, he later died under the hands of Hou Yi. Knowing how potent Hou Yi’s arrows were… Bohan Island Lord did not even bring any subordinates along with him.
This was because he knew very well that his subordinates would not provide any help. Instead, they would only be throwing themselves at death.
“Boom!”
The ninth arrow was released.
It caused the space-time array to quake vigorously as the land exploded. Portions of the array was blasted to fragments as the entire array formation immediately weakened greatly.
“A portion of the array formation has been damaged.” Kong Xuan revealed a look of glee. “What follows should be easier.”
Hou Yi smiled as he grabbed four golden arrows in one hand.
He shot them at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each of the four arrows had might equivalent to Qin Yun’s Streaming Dragon. They headed for four different spots, each damaging the space-time array without facing any resistance.
As the four spots exploded, the entire space-time array dissipated.
“The array has cracked.” Qin Yun and company revealed looks of delight. Palatial Lord Myriad Flower watched as upheavals went through his mind. He had held that memento for ages, but had been stopped in his tracks by the array. Now that entry was finally possible, he felt rueful. “Unfortunately, all I can do is gaze upon these three divine fruit trees up close, but will not get a single divine fruit.”
“Divine fruit trees.” Qin Yun and company saw them.
Upon looking deep into the valley, there were three lustrous glows that caught the eye.
One fruit tree emitted golden light, another white, and the last rainbow colors.
The lustrous glows enhanced the beauties of each other, causing the valley to look dreamy and fantastic.
“The three divine fruit trees are born in midair,” said Goumang.
Qin Yun also carefully looked. He instantly recognized the fruits on the three trees. The first divine fruit tree had a total of nine golden fruits. They were about the size of apples. The second fruit tree’s fruit had brown skin and had a white, crystalline luster on its surface. There were only six of these fruits. They were of slightly smaller size than then golden fruit. The third fruit tree had fruits with swirly lusters and translucent skin, allowing one to see the flesh within. There were only three fruits the size of grapes.
“There are so few divine fruits,” thought Qin Yun.
“Are these divine fruits ripe? Can they be plucked?” Goumang could not help but ask. “They seem to be of different sizes. Also, they seem to be growing by drawing on the fruit tree’s powers. Can they not be plucked before they are ripe?”
Qin Yun was taken aback.
“According to the spirit fruits of our Three Realms, they cannot be consumed if they aren’t ripe. Some can be consumed, but instead of providing benefits, it brings harm,” said Kong Xuan with a frown.
“Let’s take a look around the area,” Hou Yi said. “According to Palatial Lord Myriad Flower’s words, this place has long become a legend. It’s likely been a while since experts entered. Perhaps the fruits have ripened a few times and fallen into the valley to make room for new ones.
“Yes. Let’s enter to take a look. Everyone, be careful.” Qin Yun continued maintaining his Misty Rain Array as they immediately flew into the valley carefully.
Although they had cracked the space-time array outside of such a legendary land, they did not dare act carelessly.
Soon.
They saw the situation deep inside the valley.
With their various means, they could see everything in the valley clearly. This made their pupils constrict as their expressions changed slightly.
“There aren’t any fruits on the ground; not even one. There is a corpse though,” said Goumang.
Qin Yun also stared into the distance.
There was a corpse not far from the three fruit trees. The corpse had a blue plait and was dressed in a blue robe. It leaned silently on a boulder motionlessly.
“It’s him?” Palatial Lord Myriad Flower was alarmed.
“Who is he?” Qin Yun asked.
“He’s rather famous in the spatial tide,” explained Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. “He’s known as the Space-Time Wanderer! As he’s skilled in the Dao of Space-time, he is able to travel like a ghost in the spatial tide. Compounded by his insight into array formations… he’s an extremely powerful expert. However, there has not been any news of him in a long while. People believed that he had returned to his homeworld, but who knew that he had died here.”
“To die here, he likely passed through the array outside and planned on plucking the divine fruits only to be killed.” Hou Yi frowned. “Could there be danger inside?”
“To be capable of killing him, the danger inside must far exceed the array formation outside,” added Palatial Lord Myriad Flower.
“But I can’t sense any danger inside.” Kong Xuan felt puzzled. His Five-colored Divine Light domain had long extended inside. Apart from the puzzling corpse, he did not discover anything special.
“So his name is the Space-time Wanderer.”
A deep voice sounded in the Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley.
Qin Yun and company had drastic changes in expression.
Another expert?
“He’s quite capable to pass through the array formation I set up,” the deep voice continued. “But if he hadn’t entered, and just left politely, he might have survived. To have thoughts of snatching my divine fruit… death is the only option.”
“If the five of you were to leave obediently, I would spare you. But if you wish to snatch my divine fruits as well, I can only do the same to you as I did to the Space-time Wanderer. All five of you will be killed,” continued the deep voice.
Qin Yun and company wore a mask of solemnity.
“Where’s the enemy?” inquired Qin Yun via a voice transmission.
“I do not know.”
“I haven’t discovered him.”
“There aren’t any enemies around us.”
Although Hou Yi, Kong Xuan, and company had various means available to them, none of them found the enemy.
