Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect

Chapter 1240 - 609: Pulling Strings

Speaking of this might sound a bit gross, but Chen Xuantian truly felt that he had a magical mind synchronization with Lingxu.

If I had to use a metaphor, it’s like two computers in an internet café, both connected to the same LAN host server.

So, whenever Chen Xuantian encounters a new Divine Power and Spell, Heavenly Materials Treasures, sect, or cultivator, even though he hadn’t specifically researched such information before, he just calculates on his fingers, barely recalls, and relevant information automatically pops up in his mind, as if these details were already recorded in a database, ready to be retrieved with a simple enter on the search engine.

Yes, if I guessed correctly, memory, experience, knowledge, all the information in the big database, he and Lingxu are sharing it.

And maybe it’s not just the two of them. The Three Corpses, Three Worms, Three Souls, various avatars, although everyone is not on the same computer, whether in games or doing questions, serving a sentence, or slacking off, everyone has their own life.

But everyone’s knowledge and training experiences are connected to a common router, stored in a shared database. Each can access the information for personal use and continuously add more new experiences and intelligence through life events.

Indeed, I’m for everyone, and everyone is for me, it’s not one person cultivating, but an entire internet café cultivating. This is Lingxu’s secret to maintaining the number one in the world.

Together, we’re just too strong!

Of course, as the network administrator with the highest control authority, Lingxu definitely doesn’t put just anything into the public database. For example, the secrets related to Youquan Dao, memories from Yuqingzi’s era related to the company, opportunities for plotting against the Sword Sect and Tie Dan from behind the scenes, all kinds of conspiracies, and tricks, are deeply hidden, probably in his personal computer.

Of course, Lingxu shouldn’t be able to directly view the screen, see what small videos Chen Xuantian is watching now. He can only observe from the background, look at his IP address, access information, and make speculations.

Therefore, various irrelevant chatter such as Mystic Sect Daoist Sutra, Five Arts Question Bank, Array Essentials Map, local customs, and Local Journal, he is too lazy to hide or hoard. He generously opens the permissions for everyone to see, after all, the avatars live too miserably, and their cultivation is too awkward, making him somewhat embarrassed.

That’s why when Lingxu set the array here, whatever questions were out, what the standard answers were, Chen Xuantian looked them up easily, it was just like having notes open while passing by...

But on another note, this array is indeed interesting.

Unlike those two-dimensional great arrays set on the ground, the entire lamp array is suspended in the sky, forming a spherical spatial arrangement, with the lamps on the outer circle spinning like spinning tops, flying left and right at high speed, like Heavenly Stars colliding. The inner circle rotates slower, but also stops and goes intermittently, making it hard to grasp the key points at first glance.

Furthermore, among the Eight-sided Lamp Talisman, each lamp has only one side Daoist Talisman corresponding to the life gate, capable of illuminating the path, so those lanterns flying around in the sky are like landmines, once approached incorrectly, triggering thunder fire in combination, instantly exploding. Similarly, if one enters the array and doesn’t exit within the time of one incense stick burning, an array change can also result in thunder fire combination, instantly exploding.

Considering the time for answering and obtaining talismans, the outer circle moves too fast, and with slight negligence in keeping up with the array’s changes, again results in instant explosions. Generally, one cannot just grab a lamp from the outer circle casually and walk away; it’s best to go deep into the array to grab those slower lamps first.

Moreover, everyone has to gather eight talismans to pass, theoretically allowing only four hundred and fifty places in the entire great array, and if someone has gone before or needs ten talismans to gather one set, or if someone accidentally triggers thunder fire combination and explodes midway, it makes passing the array even more difficult.

Of course, Chen Xuantian could not only search the question bank for answers to riddles and lamp array diagrams but he also had Youquan Frame Dropping Technique to stop time, so he was not fazed. Using a Nether Spring Escape, he casually tore off a lamp riddle from the outermost lantern.

"Whoa! Not good! Get down!"

Huqian Mountain Man was also exclaiming and was greatly shocked!

Immediately, he dived and crouched down, lamenting inwardly, truly underestimating the level of these Mixed Cultivators. He thought this chubby kid had some insight; maybe it’s some old ghost from Cloud Platform disguised as a pig preferring to eat tigers, but who would have thought this idiot really understands nothing and is just foolishly pulling the thunder!

However, when he lay low for a while and found the thunder didn’t sound, nor was there any movement around, raising his head, he saw Paozi and the bear turning to look at him, and looking again, Chen Xuantian was already dancing through the sky, like the Night Heron, was dismantling the riddle and unveiling talismans outside the array, clearly not the one embarrassing himself. All he could do was cough and stand up again...

"Eh? Isn’t this strange? Where’s the promised thunder fire combination, instant explosion?? How the heck is he solving it so fast!?"

Well, what else could it be, as said, as long as one’s skills are adequate, they can casually pass through the array.

Chen Xuantian simply flew over, looked at the riddle, then at the answer, and tore off the corresponding talisman paper.

It might look uninteresting, so here’s an example, one of the riddles is this.

Vermilion Mercury desired in the golden cauldron, Water Silver is sent to the jade pool first. Divine Skill harnesses fire not till dawn, reveals a deep pool with the sun in it.
