CHAPTER 609: CHAPTER 213 FOUR-COLOR ARRAY SEVEN STARS DEMON-BINDING ARRAY (6K)

Watching so many top-grade Spirit Stones entering his second uncle’s pocket, Yan Xiaohu belatedly smacked his forehead, filled with regret.

He had absolute confidence in Old Fourth, how could he have forgotten this detail?

At this moment, Jiang Pojun finally came to his senses, took a deep breath, and the reluctance and disappointment in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by genuine admiration.

"I lost, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. Zhou, you are excellent. I hope to learn from you in the future!" Jiang Pojun cupped his fists and said.

Faced with Jiang Pojun, who adjusted so quickly, Zhou Qing also felt a sense of admiration in his heart.

Among the various people he had encountered, few could accept failure so calmly and quickly recover. Jiang Pojun’s magnanimity and openness made him look at him in a new light.

His Realm was strong; if Zhou hadn’t broken it first, this battle would have certainly turned into a hard fight, and the outcome wouldn’t have been decided so quickly.

Therefore, Zhou quickly returned the gesture, his expression humble: "Jiang, you are too modest. Your strength also benefited me a lot. This spar was just a fluke. If there is an opportunity in the future, I would like to exchange pointers with you again."

The two of them exchanged smiles, and in the moment their eyes met, there was a sense of mutual appreciation.

...

In the cabin, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged. Second Uncle knocked on the door and then came in with a wide grin, handing him five top-grade Spirit Stones.

"A fifty-fifty split, I’m quite generous, aren’t I!" Second Uncle said gleefully.

Zhou Qing was extremely excited; breaking through to Divinity Transformation had drained all his savings, and now he was utterly penniless.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Zhou Qing said hastily.

Second Uncle waved his hand, saying, "I fanned the flames, and you did the work. This collaboration is simply perfect."

As he spoke, he proudly patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder.

Zhou Qing smiled faintly.

Then, Second Uncle took out a top-grade fire-attribute Spirit Stone and a top-grade water-attribute Spirit Stone.

He then chuckled dryly, his expression turning cunning, "Five ordinary top-grade Spirit Stones for one. Do you want to trade? I’m selling it at half the usual price only because we’re familiar. Normally, it’s ten for one."

Looking at the two Five Elements Spirit Stones, Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and immediately traded for a fire-attribute one.

After all, the fire and water flowers among the Four-Color Petals allowed him to thrive in these specific environments.

After breaking through Divinity Transformation, they also underwent an unknown transformation. If he could absorb the corresponding Spirit Stone’s energy, it might elevate his strength further.

Second Uncle probably noticed this point and specially proposed the exchange.

The path of cultivation is indeed filled with trading and exchanges; some things, no matter how close the relationship, cannot be given without reason.

Moreover, he indeed got a great bargain.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Zhou Qing expressed his gratitude sincerely again.

Second Uncle laughed heartily, "Recover well. I’ll be counting on you next."

With that, Second Uncle left, closing the door behind him.

Zhou Qing looked at the top-grade fire-attribute energy in his hand, took a deep breath, and immediately started the absorption process using the "Yin Yang Skills."

...

A whole month later, using the major Teleportation Arrays and Space Ship of each county, the group finally safely reached the border of the Holy Martial Dynasty.

When everyone looked down over the guardrails, they couldn’t help but be astounded by the scene before them.

As far as the eye could see, a winding, endless black defensive line appeared before them.

The dark green city walls were riddled with holes, covered in claw marks several feet deep.

Countless tattered battle flags fluttered fiercely in the wind, stirring the hearts of everyone present.

"That is the Four-Color Array – the Seven Stars Demon-Binding Array!" Soon, Lin Daochen’s voice, filled with uncontrollable excitement, pointed to a large Array below.

Following his gaze, everyone saw seven mountain-sized meteors hovering above the city wall.

Each meteor was connected by purple-gold chains, with countless Demon Race heads hanging from them.

Jiang Pojun walked over with a solemn expression and said, "Master Lin, you have keen eyes. This Array was bought at a high price from a Level 4 Array Master by the previous Emperor three thousand years ago and carefully placed at the border."

He paused slightly, his eyes reflecting a trace of pride and emotion as he continued, "Everyone, look at the twelve bronze cauldrons evenly distributed along the walls within the Array. What is being boiled inside is the oil of Demon Beasts mixed with cinnabar."

"If any cauldron emits green smoke that covers the entire wall section, it indicates a massive influx of demon energy from that direction, and we can be alert early."

Everyone’s eyes lit up, staring intently at the flowing four colors of the giant Array, exclamations of awe rising continuously.

Lin Daochen was even more fascinated.

Then, Jiang Pojun looked at Lin Daochen, his expression becoming slightly serious: "Master Lin, our Cultivation Country has no Level 4 Array Master. Over the years, this Array has had many problems. We invited you here to help repair it."

Lin Daochen nodded slowly after hearing this, and he was already eager to act.

As the Space Ship slowly descended, everyone felt the unique, intense killing intent of the border area without even stepping on the land.

The air was filled with the stench of decay and blood, almost suffocating.

As they just stepped out of the cabin, a rush of urgent footsteps was heard.

Many soldiers in silver armor came charging like a tidal wave.
