CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 33: HOLY TREASURE, NINE HEAVENS ARRAY PLATE

Since Yue Jinghua became acquainted with the Gold Eater Worm, it had never shown such a reaction before. Could it be that the cave hid something even more precious than Star Fall Salt and Star Falling Stone?

Only after Qian Luo repeatedly confirmed the absence of any other Dark Arrays nearby did Yue Jinghua follow the Gold Eater Worm’s guidance, advancing along a branched path that was paved with Star Falling Stones.

The farther she went, the more Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but reveal an amazed and appreciative look.

Setting aside the resource richness of Star Falling Mine within this cave, the view alone was breathtaking.

The shapes of Star Falling Stones were varied and unique, some hanging in mid-air, while others grew continuously and formed a stretch resembling the waves of the sea. At this moment, when the colors were at their most vibrant, a brightness caught Yue Jinghua’s eye, indicating their arrival at the place.

Located at the deepest part of the underground mine, it was like a mesmerizing dance of colorful lights, casting bright rays from the ground up.

What made the Gold Eater Worm so excited was an object on the ground in the deepest part of the mine that looked like a plate.

The plate was only the size of two palms and transparent with a flowing crystal color. Illuminated by the light, it emitted a rainbow hue.

Upon taking it into her hands, Yue Jinghua felt its substantial weight. Touching it, she could sense a pure flow of Star Dark Power streaming out from within the plate.

This was a Crystal Plate carved out of Star Falling Crystal. Its surface was evenly divided into nine fan-shaped areas, representing the directions of east, west, south, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest, plus the center, for a total of nine positions.

On the nine positions were written ancient continent numerals: "One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine."

In the center of the Crystal Plate, there were two needles—one long and one short—which were currently converged together, motionless.

The nine positions on the Crystal Plate each had a shallow groove about half a finger’s depth, the purpose of which was unknown.

When Yue Jinghua first saw this Crystal Plate, she initially found it somewhat unfamiliar. Upon closer inspection, she thought it resembled a compass, and then it seemed like it looked like the face of a clock.

However, Qian Luo, standing nearby, took one glance and exclaimed in surprise, "This seems to be a Transmission Array Plate?"

A Transmission Array Plate?

Yue Jinghua was startled for a moment.

"Ao ao, little Qian Qian you are much more knowledgeable than the ugly ones, it indeed is a Transmission Array Plate and moreover, this Array Plate has a high-end, upscale, and majestic name—it’s called the Jiuxiao Sky Roc Array, an undeniable Holy Treasure," the Gold Eater Worm was already lying on the Crystal Plate. Made of Star Falling Crystal, it had the effect of prolonging life and purifying the impurities within the body of a Dark Beast, making it an excellent auxiliary cultivation Holy Treasure.

Holy Treasure!

At this news, Yue Jinghua instantly became interested. She already owned several Spiritual Treasures and also had the semi-damaged Holy Treasure, the Holy Beast Star Pendant, but she had never possessed a true Holy Treasure.

Since it was an Array Plate, Qian Luo, being an Array Master, knew much more about it than Yue Jinghua.

The so-called Array Plate is actually a treasure used to draw arrays.

Legend has it that a genius Array Master with numerous enemies invented it when he was near death, in order to protect his descendants from being pursued by his foes.

After a long time of development, there came to be all sorts of Array Plates.

The advantage of Array Plates is that they are more convenient than arrays and are not only limited to Array Masters.

Ordinary Dark Practitioners can activate the Array Plates with fresh blood and use the arrays as well.

The rarity of Array Plates is generally distinguished by their materials and attributes.

Due to different array materials, there are many types of materials for making Array Plates, with the cheapest being Wood Array Plates that rot away after several uses.

Then there are stone, metallic, and jade, while the Star-falling Crystal Array Plate in Yue Jinghua’s hands is undoubtedly top-grade.

Furthermore, based on different attributes, there are many kinds of Array Plates, such as the Confusion Array Plate for bewildering enemies, the sharp attacking Ten Thousand Sword Array Plate, and the toxic Five Poison Array Plate; but the rarest is the legendary All-in-One Array Plate that carries various arrays.

However, that is already of Divine Grade, and on the Canglong Continent, a Lower Plane, it’s basically impossible to find such divine treasures.

Besides the All-in-One Array, the precious Array Plates of slightly lesser rarity belong to those with Time Attribute, followed by thunder, lightning, wind, and then the Five Elements Attribute Array Plates.

The Jiuxiao Sky Roc Array Plate is made of special materials, can be reused endlessly, and is an extremely rare Transmission Array. It also has a rare feature: it can memorize any place it has teleported to, which is why Gold Eater Worm said it was a Holy Treasure.

"Since it’s an Array Plate, the usage is very simple. You are not an Array Master, so you can only activate the Array Plate with fresh blood to let it recognize its owner. Once the Array Plate binds to an owner, only you can drive it henceforth. Generally, when non-Array Masters use Array Plates, they rely on the power of Dark Pills. This Jiuxiao Sky Roc Transmission Array Plate is divided into nine panels with nine domains, each panel has a groove. This groove is an Elixir groove, intended for embedding various Dark Pills. Corresponding to the nine grooves, the first to third are for low-level First, Second, and Third Rank Dark Pills, four to six for Middle Level Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Rank Dark Pills, and the last three grooves correspond to Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and even the Super-level Holy-grade Dark Beasts," Qian Luo explained with clarity, her spirits lifted greatly after finding the Summoner.

The level of Dark Pills differs, so does the transmission distance, but the consumption is also quite significant. Only the last three grooves require Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Rank Dark Pills. Yue Jinghua, on the other hand, had nothing more precious than a Sixth-level Alligator Turtle Dark Pill, which was far from sufficient to supply the transmission for the last few grooves.

Even so, acquiring the Jiuxiao Sky Roc Array Plate was still like obtaining a priceless treasure for Yue Jinghua.

Following Qian Luo’s instructions, Yue Jinghua cut her finger, took a drop of blood, and dripped it onto the crystal-clear Crystal Plate.

As the crimson blood touched the Crystal Plate, there was a "gurgle" sound, reminiscent of the swallowing sound in a human throat, followed by a glittering light on the Crystal Plate, and under the compass of the Plate, the character "Yue" appeared.

Yue Jinghua raised an eyebrow, took out a First Rank Dark Pill, and inserted it into the first groove. Following Qian Luo’s instructions, she aligned the long and short needles to true north - the short needle pointed north for direction, while the long needle pointed to "two" for distance.

"Northwards, approximately two miles away, the Mazaro Mountain Farm," Yue Jinghua whispered as she intently observed the Crystal Plate in her hand.

Despite having the valuation from Gold Eater Worm beforehand and the explanations from Qian Luo, Yue Jinghua still felt somewhat anxious. If the Array Plate was indeed as miraculous as Qian Luo had described, then the development and transportation issues of the Star Falling Mine could all be solved effortlessly. She would virtually have a private Transmission Array.

No sooner had Yue Jinghua spoken than the Crystal Plate emitted a bright, crystal light. In the direction of the beam, a blurry image appeared—clearly showing the Mazaro Mountain Farm.
