"The Heaven-Defying Grand Array is designed to be in accordance with the Heavenly Dao. The Wu Clan's bloodline aligns with nature, enabling them to use it in accordance with the Mandate of Heaven. It requires various totems and the lives of a million people to activate, and even necessitates the sacrifice of a Nascent Soul stage expert to resonate with Heaven and Earth, capable of withstanding eighty percent of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation's power."
"According to the intelligence I've obtained, the Ghost Division, for the sake of their genius You Baiyin, will join forces with the Beast Division and another Division, who are in a weakened position in this war, to jointly protect the Heaven-Defying Grand Array and You Baiyin. Once You Baiyin reaches the Nascent Soul stage, it will be a time of great fortune for them, and the Wu Clan will pay any price for this future glory."
"It will still take at least three years for the Heaven-Defying Grand Array to be fully prepared."
"If the aim is simply to kill You Baiyin, then with the help of your Li family, things would be much simpler. Brother Dalong, I would like you to be frank with me – what exactly is your true objective this time?"
After the banquet, Chen Qingtian didn't say much.
Li family members directly led him to the Primal Blood Tree to plan. Chen Qingtian manifested the scene he had witnessed at the Heaven-Defying Grand Array that day with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion members, using Heaven and Earth Spirit Power.
In the past, the Li family and the Heavenly Secret Pavilion of the Azure Cloud region had a minor grudge. However, now the newly appointed leader of Heavenly Secret Pavilion is strategizing with the Li family. The ways of the world are truly mysterious.
Li Dalong hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Li Yaoqing.
Chen Qingtian understood instantly with just a glance. Slightly taken aback, a trace of shock flashed across his face, but he masked it. He continued, "Then I understand. Brother Dalong, I can only tell you that if things are truly as I anticipate, achieving the Li family's objective will be as difficult as ascending to heaven!"
Upon hearing these words, all members of the Li family frowned.
Chen Qingtian continued, saying, "Let me break it down for you piece by piece, starting from outside this Heaven-Defying Grand Array. The three Division, in order to gain You Baiyin's favor, will deploy all their experts to guard the three directions with witchcraft grand arrays. To approach the grand array, you must first breach the outer defensive arrays."
"To breach these grand arrays, you will face desperate resistance from all their experts. The three Division high priests – they are all at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Even though they have already suffered setbacks, the three Division still have about six to eight priests, and no fewer than fifty Golden Core Chieftains and Elders, all armed with Wu Clan totems."
"If there is any commotion, the Heaven-Defying Grand Array will open within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. In other words, in addition to facing these Wu Clan experts, those of you who want to undergo tribulation also need to enter the Heaven-Defying Grand Array within the time of one incense stick!"
"At that time, she will face You Baiyin alone, confronting this peerless genius who is already invincible within the Golden Core realm, and she must defeat him in the span of thirty finger snaps. Otherwise, she will face a double Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, a tribulation of such magnitude that no one can survive."
Chen Qingtian's few words sounded very light.
But the entire hall was filled with a sense of gloom, as if under a dark cloud. Facing all the experts from the three Division... You must understand that on that day, the Li family only faced the Spirit Jade Division alone! Moreover, Spirit Jade Division had already had one priest killed by them prior to that, and on that day, Spirit Jade Division fled in disarray. The enemies we face this time are simply not comparable!
"Father…maybe I should still wait a while longer." Li Yaoqing let out a long breath.
"What's there to wait for?"
Li Dalong chuckled softly, "Difficult as ascending to heaven, you say? Then the Li family will defy heaven and ascend!"
Chen Qingtian simply gave a wry smile and said, "But Brother Dalong, the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation lasts for a day and a night. Have you ever considered that while we are willing to pay any price to destroy the Wu Clan genius, what about the Wu Clan? The other Division in the Starfall Region will also be willing to pay any price to kill our geniuses. At that time, the experts of Starfall Region will also lay siege. It will be a dead end!"
He had heard of the Li family even when he was far away in the Imperial City. This family had pioneered an era in the Azure Cloud region. Even as the leader of Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he didn't wish for such a family that defied the odds to perish like this.
Unfortunately, his persuasion was in vain.
This fellow, who looked like a farmer, merely showed a reassuring smile to his daughter, then bowed to him. From his eyes, Chen Qingtian only saw determination!
And then there were all the Li family members in the hall at this moment... They were a complete group of madmen. They exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly, and silently left the hall to prepare for action.
"Mr. Chen, from now on, I will be by your side. To be honest, I am also a member of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion." Huang Xiujin bowed slightly to Chen Qingtian. "Please also understand, Mr. Chen, although we are friends, it is always wise to be cautious, isn't it?"
"Huang Xiujin, Master of the Cloudsea Pavilion. I know of you. You received Yu Xian's legacy."
Chen Qingtian's expression turned strange. "I also know that you once followed Yu Xian and obstructed a Heavenly Secret Pavilion mission. By rights, I should have killed you."
Hearing this, Huang Xiujin not only didn't panic, but even chuckled nonchalantly, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, saying, "Then, when you trouble yourselves to kill me, please let me know beforehand so I can arrange my affairs."
"..."
Chen Qingtian was silent for a moment, then glanced at the Li family members, who had exchanged a few words and then dispersed. He looked again at the fearlessness in Huang Xiujin's eyes, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "It seems you haven't learned anything worthwhile in this damned Li family, except for how to act like a madman."
