Two Arrays
For Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng, killing a person is a very difficult thing.
Unlike wild beasts, rare herbs of heaven and earth have inherent deficiencies.
After cultivating the Primordial Relic Medicine into Immortal Divine Medicine, although one's lifespan will become incredibly long, one will still be unable to escape the fate of being harvested and captured.
Some Primordial Relic Medicine are even inferior to the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng. Even after becoming Primordial Relic Medicine, they do not have the ability to burrow underground or into water, and they still obediently get picked by humans and devoured by wild beasts.
It's extremely difficult for this type of drug to grow into Primordial Relic Medicine.
These medicines, unless they are in extremely secluded locations, have remained undiscovered for thousands of years, allowing them to absorb the essence of heaven and earth.
Or it is protected by powerful wild beasts. Some ancient wild beasts will guard a Primordial Relic Medicine for thousands of years until it matures and is then devoured.
In this way, they have the opportunity to become Primordial Relic Medicine.
At this moment, it would be easy for Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng to use Illusion Technique magic to bewitch Yi Yun, but it would not be easy to kill Yi Yun.
It needs to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and Pure Yang Energy for at least several thousand more years before it can evolve the illusion into a true killing formation.
However, while the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng is unlikely to kill, it can immerse someone in the most terrifying illusions, causing them to lose their senses and eventually suffer a mental breakdown, turning them into a madman.
If, by some stroke of luck, the other party dies during their madness, then that human corpse can serve as nourishment for the Blood Sun Flower.
The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng began to accumulate power, slowly gathering the limited Pure Yang Vital Energy in the world.
It needs to get rid of Yi Yun, otherwise Yi Yun might come looking for the Blood Sun Flower again and again, and even attract powerful human beings, which would bring disaster upon itself.
It is now approaching Day of Great Yin. The Pure Yang Energy in the world has reached its lowest point.
The power of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng will be weakened by 30% at this moment. But even if it is only weakened by 30%, the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng will not think that a young man with a cultivation level of only the middle stage of the Purple Blood Realm can pose even the slightest threat to it.
Let alone the Purple Blood Realm, even the peak of the Origin Foundation Realm would be useless. The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng's greatest survival reliance is to blend into its surroundings and hide itself. Unless Human Race Sage comes here, no one can detect its existence.
Just as the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng was gathering its power, preparing to unleash Illusion Technique attack on Yi Yun, it suddenly noticed that Yi Yun bent down and placed two items on the ground.
They were two round discs, each about a foot in size. One was jet black, and the other was ice blue.
These two discs look very ancient, covered with densely packed runes, resembling tortoise shells, and are quite inconspicuous.
Although the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng possesses intelligence, it knows absolutely nothing about Daoist techniques, Savage Heaven Technique, or cultivation methods.
Cultivation, talisman making, and array formations are almost exclusively human skills.
Humans are inferior to other races in terms of lifespan, physical strength, and affinity for the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. However, the reason why humans have been able to firmly occupy a place on this ancient and desolate continent is because of their creativity, learning ability, and inheritance.
It's clearly impossible for a spiritual herb to understand things like formations and talismans.
The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng didn't know what Yi Yun intended to do with those two array plates. Although its intuition told it that a human boy in his teens couldn't possibly pose a threat, as Primordial Relic Medicine with innate alertness, it still secretly paid attention to the two array plates that Yi Yun had placed there.
It wasn't worried. As long as it unleashed a powerful Illusion Technique attack to shatter Yi Yun's sea of consciousness, then whatever array plates Yi Yun placed would be irrelevant.
The night was deep and still, even the Stars were obscured by clouds. Yi Yun silently kept track of the time in his mind.
There were only a few breaths left until midnight.
Yi Yun slowed her breathing and adjusted herself to be in the best possible state.
Gradually, the surrounding yin energy became increasingly dense.
Even the two array plates under Yi Yun's command faintly exuded a chilling aura, feeling like two blocks of ice to the touch.
These two array plates also merged into the midnight of the Day of Great Yin, and the aura emitted by the array plates converged with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
The two array plates, one engraved with the Heavenly Yin Array and the other with the Withered Cicada Array.
Both array plates were crafted by master array masters from Tai'a Divine City. Apart from purchasing the Dragon Scale Rune, Yi Yun spent almost all of his Heavenly Fiend Bead Scale Runes on these two array plates!
On the array plate of the Heavenly Yin Array, there was also a light purple talisman, which was a very cheap activation talisman.
This talisman is connected to Yi Yun's mind; as soon as he has a thought, the talisman will activate the Heavenly Yin Array Plate immediately.
By the time everything was arranged, the night had grown deeper, and time had quietly approached midnight.
The Yin energy was so intense that even Yi Yun felt a faint chill, as if it were seeping into his bones.
Yi Yun's muscles tensed instantly. He walked seemingly aimlessly, but in fact, he was getting closer and closer to the Blood Sun Flower!
And just then...
Buzz!
A deafening roar rang in Yi Yun's ears!
Yi Yun's soul sea trembled violently, and he suffered an unbearable headache. This was the mental impact from the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng!
This mental impact was more than ten times stronger than the last one, showing that the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng had gathered enough power to crush Yi Yun's soul sea in one fell swoop!
However, Yi Yun had already taken a Spirit Calming Pill before going up the Medicine Mountain. This Spirit Calming Pill was something Yi Yun had prepared in advance; it wasn't expensive, but it was enough.
Yi Yun clearly felt that at the moment when his soul sea was in excruciating pain, a gentle stream of Heart-clearing Power flowed out from his dantian and rushed straight into his soul sea, like a clear spring, instantly making his mind much clearer and the pain lessened.
Yi Yun knew that the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng's specialty was Illusion Technique attacks, so how could he not prepare in advance?
Yi Yun already possessed the Energy Vision of the Purple Crystal, and with the added Medicinal Power of the Clear Mind Pill, he regained his clarity almost instantly!
But now is still not the time to make a move against the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng. Yi Yun knew very well that even if he were within ten zhang and used the Great Cang Bow to shoot arrows, he would hardly be able to hit the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng.
Yi Yun can hit any stationary or regularly moving target within a ten-mile radius, but he does not yet have the ability to make his arrows change direction when the target can dodge.
The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng is growing too fast!
Yi Yun's arrow couldn't catch it, there was only one possibility for hitting it: he had accurately predicted the next move of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng!
Yi Yun was waiting for the final opportunity.
At this moment, the world around Yi Yun was slowly changing.
The cliff transformed into a vast wilderness, exuding a wild and untamed atmosphere.
Boom boom boom!
The earth trembled, and a colossal Giant Beast, as large as a small mountain, charged toward Yi Yun with an aura that seemed capable of crushing everything.
This was Illusion Technique attack that followed the mental shock.
Yi Yun was no longer confused or hesitant when he first faced Illusion Technique attack.
He recognized the scene before him; it was the desolate landscape he had seen when he first entered Tai'a Divine City and looked out from the floating cloud boat.
With a thought, Yi Yun pretended to be bewitched by the Illusion Technique, and charged towards the Giant Beast with his Thousand Army Saber in hand.
An illusion is just an illusion after all. Yi Yun felt no fear. No matter how powerful the wild beast seemed, it was nothing more than a phantom in front of Yi Yun.
"Snap!"
With Thousand Army Saber, Yi Yun cleaved Great Wilderness that could instantly kill Yi Yun in reality into two halves!
The blade flashed, its cold light chilling, as Yi Yun wielded the Thousand Army Saber with sweeping, powerful strikes, splattering blood!
One terrifying Giant Beast after another was cleaved in two by Yi Yun!
Yi Yun's seemingly chaotic dashes and dodges were actually a slow and steady approach to the Primordial Relic Medicine through his maneuvering and advance!
Ten zhang!
Nine zhang!
Eight feet!
As the distance drew closer, Yi Yun held her breath, mentally calculating the distance again and again.
He pretended to be trapped in Illusion Technique, but in reality, he was preparing a fatal blow!
Just as Yi Yun approached to within seven zhang of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng, this Primordial Relic Medicine finally became alert!
Although it completely despises Yi Yun, the nature of the Primordial Relic Medicine makes it habitually stay away from humans.
It quietly retreated a little, but not too much, otherwise its Illusion Technique wouldn't be able to continue attacking Yi Yun.
Seeing the Primordial Relic Medicine retreat, Yi Yun's heart sank slightly, and he abandoned his plan to sneak up on the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng amidst the chaos.
Primordial Relic Medicine are indeed cautious by nature; they will subconsciously keep their distance even from people who pose absolutely no threat to them.
In this way, the idea of closing the distance to the Primordial Relic Medicine to within one zhang and attacking it with the Thousand Army Saber is simply unrealistic.
Yi Yun still needs to rely on his bow and arrow to deliver this fatal blow!
