114 Getting Prepared; Acciden (1/2)

“Is this some kind of progress?! I have broken through the limits several times, but the East-rising Purple Qi stays unchanged all the time.” Ye Xiao smiled bitterly, “It seems that what I have achieved meant nothing compared to the East-rising Purple Qi. Those are nothing. Worthless. Should I be happy or should I be sad about it! Fine. I should be happy. I am happy…”

He used some kind of “spiritual victory method [1]” to comfort himself. Good for you, Xiao Monarch!

…

The next moment, he returned to the Spaces again.

He looked at the Cosmic Hades in the Sky Space and frowned, seemingly lost in his thoughts.

The gelid qi that was produced by the Cosmic Hades had fully filled up the whole Sky Space and was about invade the other Spaces. That was not good and Ye Xiao knew that he had to do something about it. In other words, he had to absorb it again…

Thinking about the Cosmic Hades, he was thinking about the two crisis he was facing at the moment.

The inner crisis was an easy one. He could just cultivate the gelid qi again. He had done it before, so this time, it would be much easier. However, how was he able to deal with the outer crisis?

Gu Jinlong was too strong for him. Thinking about how powerful Gu Jinlong was, Ye Xiao sighed again.

Now he had barely escaped from death because of a big lie. However, Gu Jinlong was still out there watching him. He wouldn’t leave without the Cosmic Hades. He was like a ticking bomb that might explode at any time around Ye Xiao. Things between Ye Xiao and Gu Jinlong had to be ended.

Either Gu Jinlong died, or Ye Xiao would!

One of them had to die.

The point was that Ye Xiao couldn’t do anything about Gu Jinlong. Poison, dan bead or anything else he could think of were useless. Ye Xiao didn’t have the dan beads that could get Gu Jinlong killed!

He sighed and walked out of his room.

Song Jue was worried about Ye Xiao when he saw Ye Xiao’s sad face.

Ye Xiao could only give some answers that didn’t matter to Song Jue. After which, he disappeared among the people out of the house.

After a while, he was in some field outside the city. He was Feng Zhiling now, and he was running fast in the wild.

He was looking for a suitable location.

A mountain.

In case Gu Jinlong would ask, he had to make things look reasonable.

“Even a perfect lie won’t last long. You always need to make enormous efforts to cover up one lie you made. A tiny mistake will expose you and you will instantly lose, and that’s the time that you will die.” Ye Xiao smiled bitterly with helplessness.

After a while, he had found a mountain.

It was a mountain that looked like a tubular pen rack. It was tall and isolate. There was no connection between this mountain and the others. It was in a special location like all the other mountains were embracing it.

In fact, this mountain was named the Pen Rack Mountain!

It was sharp and high.

Ye Xiao looked around for quite a while and nodded with satisfaction. He took out 99 pieces of spiritual jades from the ring. He didn’t need to save any of them because they were given by Gu Jinlong. They were free.

He had moved around the mountain while placing the spiritual jades along the way. He didn’t stop. He kept moving round and round from the bottom of the mountain to halfway up the mountain, placing the spiritual jades here and there. At the end, he had used up a little less than 400 pieces of spiritual jades on this mountain.

Now, he had finally set up a foundation, so he took out another 13 pieces of spiritual jades. He flew to the top of the mountain and positioned the 13 pieces of spiritual jades imitating the Eight Diagrams [2] and the Five Elements [3]. Eight pieces were set in a bigger circle and the other five in a smaller circle inside. The two circles work in concert.

At the center of the two circles, he put ten pieces of spiritual jades!

He embedded the ten pieces of spiritual jades hard into the mountain and shouted, “Done!”

The next moment, something like clouds and fogs suddenly came. It suddenly covered the whole mountain. No matter where the Pen Rack Mountain was viewed, it seemed to have disappeared!

The whole mountain was invisible.

The Stars Covering Array!

That was the most difficult array art Ye Xiao could handle! Since he was too weak to fight against Gu Jinlong, he had to use whatever he had up his sleeves.

He checked the array he had assembled and nodded with satisfaction. And then he got down to the bottom of the mountain where the base of the whole array was found, and dug the ground to cover it.

He finally felt a bit relieved.
