Chapter 0370: Nine Extremes Heart Sutra

After the Grand Elder came in, he was astonished to see Qin Yun helping to maintain the grand formation.

"You all decide who will go out! I've got to stay here and maintain the grand formation!" Elder Two sighed.

"We can't leave. We need someone in the Spirit Martial realm to stabilize the Sect Leader's injuries," said the Grand Elder. "I came to ask you to recommend a disciple who can go out and search for medicinal herbs!"

Qin Yun said, "I'll go!"

"The Nine Extremes Grand Formation hasn't been fully activated for too long, so we usually don't know which energy runes are blocked.

"Now that we know where the blockages are, if we clear them completely, the formation can be maintained for a long time! This kind of grand formation should be fully activated from time to time and then maintained. This way, when an attack comes, we won't be overwhelmed!"

The Grand Elder and Elder Two were quite surprised; they hadn't expected Qin Yun to know so much.

"This is my fault! I'll be more careful from now on!" Elder Two blamed himself.

"The main reason is we have too few Runes Masters. Elder Two is also really busy and can't handle everything," the Grand Elder patted Elder Two's shoulder. "It seems that no matter how busy we are, we must take time to maintain the grand formation regularly!"

"Xiao Yun, it's too dangerous for you to go out alone!" Elder Two said. "You're a senior Runes Master and should remain in the sect!"

The Grand Elder was also shocked upon hearing this.

Qin Yun is actually a senior Runes Master!

They had previously thought that recruiting Qin Yun, who was young and at the Martial realm, was already a great achievement.

But they truly hadn't expected that Qin Yun was also a senior Runes Master and an exceptional fighter.

"Grand Elder, Elder Two, I'm planning to head to the Runes Hall! I have a lot of experience with going out on missions. When I was in the Cloud Dragon Mountains, Jian Xuanzi hunted me, and he couldn't kill me!" Qin Yun smiled.

"You were hunted by Jian Xuanzi?" The Grand Elder was surprised again. "So, the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron you got wasn't just a lucky find?"

Qin Yun smiled, "The dragon finished him off; I just got lucky!"

Jian Xuanzi is dead!

The Grand Elder, Elder Two, and Yuan Yanying were all shocked!

Jian Xuanzi, the leader of Jian Xuan Mountain, ranked among the top ten in the Xuan Martial realm.

And Jian Xuan Mountain, a Xuan-level sect, held significant power in the northern region of Wuhuang.

Many people assumed Jian Xuanzi was just in danger in the Cloud Dragon Mountains and couldn't return for now.

"Yanying, this must stay a secret! Jian Xuanzi was a sect leader and also an extremely powerful Xuan Martial realm expert. If the Qingtian King Sect finds out, Xiao Yun will be in big trouble!"

"Yun Gege is like family to me; I'd never betray him!" Yuan Yanying nodded hurriedly.

"Then let me go out and search for the Xuan-level medicinal herbs for the Sect Leader!" Qin Yun said.

The Grand Elder and Elder Two were still hesitating.

Qin Yun added, "Do you remember that short, skinny friend of mine with a straw hat at Xuanwu Qitian Mountain?"

"I remember. You called him Seventh. What's his background? He is very young, has strong inner flames, is at the Martial realm, and has great potential," the Grand Elder nodded.

"He's the Seventh Prince of Hongwu Country, Hong Yan!" said Qin Yun.

"That guy, skinny as a monkey, is actually the Seventh Prince of Hongwu Country?" exclaimed Elder Two in surprise.

Qin Yun smiled and nodded. "This guy owes me a favor, so he's definitely going to help me!"

"Hong Yan's martial talent is quite good, but it's nowhere near enough to earn him the title of Prince in Hongwu Country!" said the Grand Elder. "However, he became the Seventh Prince, which shows that the Hong Eagle Martial King thinks highly of him. If he helps you, it should speed things up a lot!"

In the end, the elders decided to send Qin Yun out of the desert after the Jian Xuan Mountain people left.

…

Many people from Jian Xuan Mountain were hovering densely around the massive array pillars.

A black-robed elder, his face covered in wrinkles, used his mind to control a massive sword over a hundred meters long and struck a pillar!

Boom!

After the strike, an energy wave was released!

Many people got blown back!

The elder lifted the super-large sword high into the sky, with its tip pointing at the platform between the nine giant pillars!

"Break!" the elder roared deeply.

The giant sword fell, but as it neared the golden pillars, it was violently shaken away, flying into the distance and embedding itself in the desert, causing the ground to tremble!

In the distance, many spectators watched the spectacle.

"Jian Xuan Mountain really has a lot of clout to call in several Xuan-level sects to help break the array!"

"That was just now the treasure of Jian Xuan Mountain—the Xuan Dao Sword, a Dao artifact!"

"So what? They still can't crack the Nine Extinctions Xuan Gate's defenses!"

"The Nine Extinctions Xuan Gate is impressive, taking out two Xuan Martial realm practitioners and then hiding away!"

"Tsk tsk, it's been years since we've seen a battle between Xuan-level sects!"

"Many Xuan-level sects are helping Jian Xuan Mountain because they see the Nine Extinctions Xuan Gate as an easy target!"

The spectators, hungry for more excitement, were eager to see what would happen to the Nine Extinctions Xuan Gate once the array was broken.

Several Xuan Martial realm experts from various sects took turns attacking the Nine Extinctions array, but there was no sign of a breakthrough.

What infuriated them was that the disciples inside the Nine Extinctions Xuan Gate were loudly mocking and cursing at them!

Jian Xuan Mountain took a big hit this time, losing two Xuan Martial realm warriors, but they only managed to severely injure Wei Zhongzheng!

…

Yuan Yanying had already gone back to the medicinal fields.

Only Qin Yun and Elder Two were left, maintaining the core of the array.

"The defense of our Nine Extinctions Xuan Gate is incredibly strong, but we have no offensive power, which is our biggest weakness!" Elder Two sighed.

"If they knew there was a killing array, they definitely wouldn't dare to attack recklessly!" Qin Yun smiled. "In the future, we can add one!"

Elder Two shook his head and smiled, saying it was very difficult to modify the Nine Extremes Grand Array.

"Elder Two, is there any powerful cultivation technique within the Nine Extremes Sect?" asked Qin Yun.

After stepping into the Martial Dao realm, many of his previous martial arts could no longer fully harness the power of the Great Dao.

Only a few techniques could still be used.

Of course, totem martial arts were still viable, but Qin Yun still didn't dare to use them.

Here, there was a mysterious Totem Pavilion, and exposing his totem would be very dangerous.

"The grand array and cultivation techniques of our Nine Extremes Sect are the most powerful!" Elder Two said proudly. "It's just a bit difficult to learn!"

"Which technique is it?" Qin Yun wasn't afraid of difficult techniques.

"Nine Extremes Heart Sutra!" Elder Two sighed softly. "This sutra is comprehensive and complex, making it hard to learn systematically! Anyway, I will give you a copy later!"

"Do all disciples receive it?" asked Qin Yun.

Elder Two shook his head. "Of course not! We assess the disciples first, letting them learn the more superficial ones. If they can't even understand the superficial ones, we won't give it to them! On one hand, it's to prevent it from being leaked externally. On the other hand, it's to stop them from going astray and suffering backlash!"

Qin Yun was secretly curious and eager to see the Nine Extremes Heart Sutra. He smiled. "Elder Two, do I still need to be assessed? I've only just joined!"

"Of course, you don't need to! At such a young age, you are already in the Martial Dao realm, and your comprehension is extremely high! Yanying doesn't need to either; this wild girl has also cultivated some martial skills." Elder Two laughed heartily. "I didn't expect that you and Yanying know each other; this is good!"

"Perhaps soon, there will be great news for our Nine Extremes Sect!"

Qin Yun's face turned slightly red, and he said, "Elder Two, I already have a wife! My relationship with Yanying is like siblings, not what you think!"

"You young man, you already have a wife!" Elder Two said in surprise. "Didn't you say that you were taken as a sacrifice because of your pure body?"

Qin Yun bitterly smiled and said, "When my wife and I were still young, I haven't seen her for a long time! I only know she's in the Moon Xuan Valley!"

"Oh—" Elder Two said in surprise. "Your wife is from the Moon Xuan Valley, that's incredible! Joining the Moon Xuan Valley at a young age must mean she has extraordinary talent!"

"Yes, she should have stepped into the Martial Dao realm! She's a year older than me," Qin Yun nodded.

Elder Two exclaimed again.

And Yanying was also remarkable, being only a bit younger than Qin Yun and also in the Martial Dao realm.

……

Seven days passed, and several Xuan-level sects led by Jian Xuan Mountain finally stopped and didn't continue attacking the Nine Extremes Grand Array.

They were furious, having worked for so long without success. Instead of scaring the disciples of the Nine Extremes Sect, they were cursed at for seven straight days.

The disciples of the Nine Extremes Sect were also quite capable, cursing for seven straight days, and many disciples lost their voices from shouting.

Jian Xuan Mountain wouldn't take it lying down, calling in many Martial Dao realm and Martial Body realm disciples to argue back with the Nine Extremes Sect disciples!

The tens of thousands of onlookers far away were left both laughing and crying, having watched seven days of verbal battles.

"Nine Extremes Sect's cowards, listen up!" an elder from Jian Xuan Mountain shouted. "We will go find the Qingtian King Sect to handle you!"

"You stole our Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, and this matter won't be let go so easily!"

The disciples of the Nine Extremes Sect didn't know anything about the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron. They only knew that their sect leader had killed two Xuan Martial realm practitioners from Jian Xuan Mountain.

From the tone of Jian Xuan Mountain, it was clear they were after the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, which was evidently the main goal of Jian Xuan Mountain!

Jian Xuan Mountain and several Xuan-level sects also left in a hurry. They hadn't gained any advantage here and were full of anger, plus there were many matters to attend to back at their sects, so they had to return for now.

The disciples of the Nine Extremes Sect also began to worry secretly.

The Qingtian King Sect was a king-level sect and extremely powerful. If a Martial King came to attack the grand array, it would be dangerous.
