Zhou Tong's Mastery of Array Patterns
The Desolate Ancient Jiang Family.
"It's been three days already, and you still haven't cracked this Mysterious Jade Platform? Our dignified Ancient Desolate Family, with all our Array Patterns masters working together, can't even crack the Array Patterns set up by Zhou Tong?" The Supreme Elder of the Jiang Family had a grim expression.
Ever since Zhou Tong delivered this Mysterious Jade Platform, they have been trying to decipher it, and have mobilized all the cultivators in the Jiang Family who are proficient in Array Patterns, but they have been unable to achieve any results.
"Supreme Elder, please calm down!" A white-haired Array Patterns master also looked rather grim. "There are as many as 108 Array Patterns on this Mysterious Jade Platform. Moreover, these 108 array Array Patterns are all interconnected. If any one link fails, the entire Mysterious Jade Platform will probably self-destruct immediately."
"Breaking through Array Patterns of this level without damaging the Mysterious Jade Platform is extremely difficult!"
"Indeed, in just these three days, we have seen Domain Gate Array Patterns, Illusionary Realm Array Patterns, sound transmission Array Patterns, and image display Array Patterns... Not only that, but it also contains a trace of our Jiang Family's Emperor Formation pattern, and even traces of several other Emperor Formation."
"Zhou Tong is able to combine such complex Array Patterns, and even design such exquisite and terrifying Array Patterns. I suspect that he has obtained the Nine Secrets - the Nine Secrets: Zu. Moreover, his attainments in the art of Array Patterns patterns are extremely profound. Unless he brings out his true strength, no one in my Jiang Family can surpass him in this art."
"The most crucial point is that this Mysterious Jade Platform is covered with various self-destruct Array Patterns. If we don't want the Mysterious Jade Platform to be damaged in any way, we'll probably need to gather all the power of the entire Big Dipper to break it within three days!"
Several other Array Patterns masters also spoke up.
"Is there any movement from the Ji Family?" The Supreme Elder of the Jiang Family looked at another person not far away.
The man shook his head and said, "They seem to have really found Zhou Tong. According to our undercover agent in the Ji Family, the Ji Family seemed to have made some big moves a few days ago. But he's too low-ranking to get involved in that kind of thing. Last time, we were incredibly lucky to get information about Zhou Tong in the Myriad Dragon Nest."
"Compared to the time after that raid on Myriad Dragon Nest, Zhou Tong will definitely have to be more careful. I'm afraid even the most skilled assassins in the Human World will have a hard time finding his trail."
The Great Xia Dynasty.
"What did you say? This Mysterious Jade Platform actually contains the Array Patterns of our Great Xia's founding Great Emperor?" An old Imperial Lord's expression changed drastically as he glared angrily at the Array Patterns master of his own family in front of him.
"Indeed!" The Array Patterns master nodded. "I suspect that Zhou Tong has already broken the restrictions in the old Imperial Lord's sea of consciousness and obtained our Great Xia's secret technique—the Great Emperor Scripture!"
The old Imperial Lord sat in his seat, his expression shifting constantly.
The Nine Li Imperial Dynasty.
The Jiuli Imperial Lord's face turned ashen. "Damn it, Zhou Tong must have obtained our Nine Li Nine Li Scripture, otherwise he would never know so much about our Jiu Li Diagram! There are even Array Patterns on the Mysterious Jade Platform that are specifically designed to guard against our Jiu Li Diagram."
"One hundred and eight Array Patterns, Array Patterns of which are specifically designed to target our Nine Li Imperial Dynasty!"
Before the Imperial Lord of Jiuli lay an ancient scroll, radiating an overwhelming aura.
This ancient scroll encompasses all things in heaven and earth, and contains the three thousand great worlds. It can suppress and refine everything. This is the Imperial Weapon of the Nine Li Imperial Dynasty, and it was also the Imperial Weapon forged by the Great Nine Li the Great.
This Imperial Weapon is very special; it is the most likely to disintegrate the Dao Pattern of the Mysterious Jade Platform, and may even disintegrate the Dao Pattern without causing any damage.
To prevent such tactics, Zhou Tong directly combined the Array Patterns created by the Nine Li the Great and several other Great Emperor using the Nine Secrets: Zu. Once this Mysterious Jade Platform was absorbed into the Jiu Li Diagram, it would immediately self-destruct.
If the Imperial Lord of the Nine Li Imperial Dynasty hadn't acted quickly, and if the power of the Jiu Li Diagram hadn't been terrifying, the Mysterious Jade Platform would have already self-destructed in that instant.
"Unless the Jiu Li Diagram is resurrected, or the foundation of our Nine Li Imperial Dynasty is mobilized, it is probably impossible to crack this Mysterious Jade Platform in a short time." The Jiuli Imperial Lord understood that what he wanted to do was to decipher the Dao Pattern on the Mysterious Jade Platform and deduce Zhou Tong's location, rather than destroy the Mysterious Jade Platform.
This is a delicate task. Even if the Imperial Weapon Jiu Li Diagram has a natural and huge advantage in this regard, it still depends on who controls the Jiu Li Diagram, what their strength is, and whether they are proficient in the Dao of Array Patterns.
If a sage controlled the Jiu Li Diagram, all the mysteries of Zhou Tong's Mysterious Jade Platform would naturally be exposed. But unfortunately, the Jiu Li Diagram is currently controlled by only one peerless powerhouse.
Not only the Jiang Family, the Nine Li Divine Dynasty, and the Great Xia Dynasty, but also other holy lands and families were itching to get their hands on Zhou Tong's Mysterious Jade Platform.
Because the Array Patterns patterns on it are too complex and full of endless traps, it is impossible to break through them in just three days without damaging the Mysterious Jade Platform.
The appointed time with the Great Sage arrived quickly.
Before Zhou Tong, Pang Bo, and Ye Fan stood a massive Mysterious Jade Platform, its surface shimmering with light and radiating endless divine brilliance, exuding an inexplicable air of mystery.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Zhou Tong channeled a stream of divine power into it. Instantly, countless images appeared on the Mysterious Jade Platform, images from other Mysterious Jade Platform, totaling more than thirty images.
It looks exactly like one of those multi-screen control centers on Earth.
As Zhou Tong's screen lit up, the screens in the other holy sites also lit up immediately.
The current leaders of those holy lands immediately looked over, but when they saw Zhou Tong, Pang Bo, and Ye Fan on the other side of the screen, their faces were filled with anger.
"Zhou Tong, what exactly do you want to do?"
"You are making an enemy of all the holy lands! From now on, there will be no place for you in the entire Big Dipper."
"Hmph, you mere junior, if you dare to act recklessly, my Great Xia will spare no effort to unleash its full power!"
The images contained roars and threats.
However, after the roar and threat, they also sensed something was wrong, because although they could only see Zhou Tong and his group and not see anyone else, they could hear other people's voices.
And most importantly, they also heard some noise.
"What are these noises? Did you invite some outsiders to participate in the auction?" The voice of the peerless expert from Yaoguang was cold and contained Killing Intent.
"Zhou Tong, did you also throw the Mysterious Jade Platform outside?" the Supreme Elder of the Jiang Family asked in a cold voice.
"Of course! This auction should be witnessed by people from the cultivation world!" Zhou Tong chuckled. "Don't worry, I only threw out less than ten Mysterious Jade Platform; you won't have many competitors!"
"You..."
All the powerful figures and elders of the holy lands were so angry that their chests heaved.
They initially thought it was just an internal matter within the Holy Land, but now that even bystanders are involved, they're probably unable to use many of their methods.
Zhou Tong glanced at them and said, "I'm not afraid that the scriptures like the Hengyu Scripture, the Great Emperor Scripture, Nine Li Scripture will spread Big Dipper and everyone will have a copy. Now shut up and listen to me!"
"Video call? Wow, Zhou Tong, you actually came up with something like this! I was wondering how you were going to contact those holy sites!" Pang Bo looked at the screens in front of him with curiosity.
Seeing this scene, Ye Fan also felt a strange sensation. Seeing such a scene in the cultivation world felt like a different world.
"It's just a simple combination of some Array Patterns!" Zhou Tong chuckled. "However, this thing is not just for making calls. I've simplified and extended the functions of the Mysterious Jade Platform a bit; it can also be an auction teleportation platform."
As he spoke, Zhou Tong casually picked up a stone from the ground and threw it onto the Mysterious Jade Platform.
He channeled divine power, and the stone vanished right in front of Pang Bo; meanwhile, the Jiuli Imperial Lord's face turned ashen, because a new stone had appeared on the platform in front of him.
"It really worked!" Pang Bo looked at one of the screens in surprise, which showed the astonished expression on the face of the Jiuli Imperial Lord as he picked up the stone.
"Don't you trust me to handle things?" Zhou Tong chuckled.
"Snap!!"
On the other end of the video, the Imperial Lord Jiuli crushed the stone in his hand, veins bulging on his brow.
He was furious!
Zhou Tong not only dared to warn and threaten them, but also dared to ignore them. Now he's even using them as subjects for experiments and making sarcastic remarks!
When did a mere rogue cultivator dare to stand above me and act so arrogantly?
"Did you see the ashen face of the Jiuli Imperial Lord?" Zhou Tong chuckled.
"Haha!" Pang Bo and Ye Fan both burst into laughter.
