Chapter 422 - 408: Formation Spirit Acknowledging a Master, Double Agent
BUZZ!
The magatamas, shaped like Yin-Yang Fish, fit together as they floated and spun!
Even with the Luotian Array blocking them, an extremely dense and incomparably pure power of water and fire still emanated from the Liangyi Immortal Jade!
"The Liangyi Immortal Jade!"
Su Ye’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at the Immortal Jade!
This twin wonder was the primary reason for his visit!
Once he obtained it.
Su Ye would be able to... form his Golden Core!
He would become a revered Golden Core Master in one fell swoop, a supreme being who would dominate the history and destiny of the seas!
Even in the Central Sea Region, a great cultivator at the Golden Core Realm was powerful enough to rule a territory and establish their own sect!
What’s more.
With Su Ye’s terrifying foundation.
The enhancement he would gain after advancing to the Golden Core Realm would reach an unimaginable level!
A Nine-Method Golden Core!
Its power was undeniable!
A thousand thoughts raced through his mind.
Yet, Su Ye’s expression remained completely unchanged.
His level of Qi Cultivation Skill surprised the three Crystallization Realm cultivators.
They didn’t know how important the Liangyi Immortal Jade was to Su Ye, but they knew the Chu Family had used it to set him up.
But now.
With the Immortal Jade right in front of him, how could Su Ye be so calm?
This kind of temperament made the cultivators present raise their assessment of Su Ye even higher!
"Let’s begin."
"The array spirit recognition ceremony."
Su Ye said.
"Yes."
Wei Yang didn’t dare to delay.
He took out his Token and activated it with a stream of Magical Power.
Zhao Mingde and Shangguan Zhi did the same, presenting their own Tokens.
Their Tokens weren’t as miraculous as Su Ye’s, but they still shimmered with spiritual light, classifying them as high-quality Spiritual Artifacts.
BUZZ!
The three Tokens levitated into the air.
Each shot out a beam of light that struck the silvery-white pillar of light!
BUZZ!
As if some condition had been met.
The spiritual light flowing within the silvery-white cylinder instantly began to ripple!
A moment later, a cold, mechanical voice sounded from within the silvery-white cylinder.
[DING]
[Array Spirit Recognition Protocol Activated]
[Searching Conditions]
[Port Garrison Department, Wei Yang present.]
[Commander of the Radiant Flame Guards, Zhao Mingde present.]
[Fortress Internal Affairs Department, Shangguan Zhi present.]
[Conditions met.]
[Please present the Guardian Envoy Token.]
A hint of interest appeared in Su Ye’s eyes as he stared at the silvery-white cylinder.
’An array spirit?’
After the three Crystallization Realm cultivators had presented their Tokens, a cold and mechanical fluctuation of a divine soul emerged from within the silvery-white cylinder!
It was very similar to Jiaojiao.
But it was much weaker and lacked emotion.
And yet...
Su Ye narrowed his eyes. Something about this array spirit felt... quite strange.
Certain parts of its structure didn’t resemble an array spirit. Instead, it was more like... a Cultivator’s Divine Soul?
"Reporting to Mr. Su."
"This is a spell spirit created by the Flame Alliance’s Array Masters, not a true array spirit."
"It’s much more rigid than a real array spirit and needs to be maintained periodically by Array Masters dispatched from headquarters..."
"But even so, with the existence of this spell spirit, the fluidity and power of the Black Flame Fortress’s Array have seen a very significant improvement!"
Wei Yang explained.
True array spirits, aside from special cases like Jiaojiao, required at least a fifth-rank array.
The Luotian Illusion Array was vast, spanning tens of thousands of miles, but its tier was still stuck at the peak of the fourth rank.
"Is that so?"
Stroking the silvery-white cylinder, a strange glint flashed in Su Ye’s eyes.
With the power of his Divine Sense, observing it from such a close distance, he was almost certain that the raw material used to create this so-called "spell spirit" was a Cultivator’s Divine Soul!
Moreover, the main component was the divine soul of a great cultivator at the Crystallization Realm or higher!
’Aren’t such methods considered demonic cultivation?’
’Has the war really become this desperate?’
Su Ye lamented internally.
Then, without any more nonsense.
With a flick of his fingertip, a small flame ignited!
WHOOSH!
The flame shot upwards!
It transformed into a crimson-red, fiery Token!
[Token confirmed.]
[Scanning Divine Sense fluctuation.]
[Scanning Magical Power fluctuation.]
A discerning power spread out from the silvery-white cylinder.
Su Ye cooperated, releasing a wisp of his Divine Sense and Magical Power for the scan... This was to verify his identity and confirm his authority.
[Divine Sense fluctuation identified.]
[Magical Power aura recorded.]
[Identity confirmed: Guardian Envoy of the Narrow Sea, Su Ye.]
BUZZ!
The spiritual light that had shot out from the three Crystallization Realm Tokens now merged into one, flew out from the silvery-white cylinder, and struck Su Ye’s Token!
[Five-Star Authority granted.]
[Welcome, esteemed Guardian Envoy of the Narrow Sea.]
Five-Star Authority—the highest level of authority besides that of a Golden Core cultivator!
Holding the Guardian Envoy Token, Su Ye lowered his gaze. With a stir of his Divine Sense, he could feel the entire Array of the Black Flame Fortress fall under his control!
He now wielded the highest authority over the Fortress Array!
From this moment on.
Su Ye had officially assumed the post of Guardian Envoy of the Narrow Sea!
The authority over the Array was equivalent to the military power of a provincial governor in his past life. The title, his own cultivation, and the Array authority—only with all three combined was he truly the complete Guardian Envoy of the Narrow Sea!
Of course.
Su Ye was also well aware.
This so-called highest authority was limited to conventional situations!
If he were to presume upon his authority and order the Array to self-destruct, or try to forcibly take the Liangyi Immortal Jade... Heh.
Su Ye had not the slightest interest in such a foolish, self-humiliating act—the Flame Alliance wasn’t stupid. How could they not have left behind some countermeasures?
...
Afterward, having completed the array spirit recognition, the three Crystallization Realm cultivators bid Su Ye farewell and took their leave.
During wartime, as the resident Crystallization Realm cultivators of the Black Flame Fortress, they were swamped with trivial matters.
"Mm."
"You are dismissed."
