BXBX NOVEL Chapter 359 - 230: The Sword Pool, Revival
“Is this Ten Thousand Demon prison, where you reside, constructed jointly by two great families of the Human World Dynasty?”
Walking on the second level of Cave Sky, Dong Huang exited the Demon-Suppressing Hall, looking up at the tangible Ten Thousand Demon Prison permeated with a sinister aura of Demon Qi, and turned to Feng Qing’an beside her.
“Correct.”
At this moment, Feng Qing’an’s face was full of contemplation. Initially, he had no particular impressions of the Ten Thousand Demon Nation and Ten Thousand Demon Prison within the Cave Sky.
When he first gained the power of Cave Sky, he only took a cursory look under the guidance of the spirit of Cave Sky. Now, after taking a careful look at these two levels with Dong Huang, he quickly noticed the unusual aspects of these two levels with Dong Huang’s keen eye and guidance.
“Their plot is not small!”
Dong Huang gazed at the vast expanse of the Ten Thousand Demon prison. The demons detained here were naturally all in a restrained state. The sky above was gloomily devoid of light. The source of light in this level was emitted by countless Sealing Spirit Talismans and Suppressing Devil Sanskrit.
“What do they plan to do with these demons?”
Although Feng Qing’an had read many Taoist and Buddhist scriptures and was no longer ignorant of self-cultivation, he was only guessing when it came to this deeper kind of setup.
But now that Dong Huang was by his side, there was no need to guess. He simply asked directly.
“It’s a very common setup: blood sacrifice of ten thousand demons with their souls and blood used to refine the array, amplify the family’s background, and ensure the family’s heritage continues in every possible way.”
Dong Huang said casually. Looking at Feng Qing’an, she couldn’t help but laugh,
“However, they chose the wrong place. Everything they’ve done would contribute to dressing up for you in the end.”
“I won’t casually usurp others’ fortunes.”
Feng Qing’an shook his head slightly. He understood Dong Huang’s meaning – the imperial family of Da Jin and Fengtian Xiao family, though they jointly created the Ten Thousand Demon Nation and the Ten Thousand Demon Prison, they placed them in Cave Sky.
They didn’t know there is him, another master here. When he takes control of Cave Sky, the efforts accumulated over centuries would belong to him. Everything they’ve done would be in vain.
“Don’t you want to know how strong the array blood-sacrificed with tens of thousands of demons would be?”
“How strong?”
Feng Qing’an inquired out of curiosity. The Ten Thousand Demon Nation was centered around Lock Demon Tower, while in Ten Thousand Demon Prison, Demon-Suppressing Hall served as the place of suppression for demons.
“Although I don’t know what the Human Race who set up this array dubbed it, its main effect as you should have noticed is suppressing demons. Once this array gets completed, even I, being caught in it, would find it tricky.”
The seriousness in Dong Huang’s tone meant no room for joke. Even though none in the human world’s clan was a match for her, the collective efforts of these clans passed down from generation to generation till now had to be taken seriously.
“Can it threaten you?”
Hearing Dong Huang’s assessment, Feng Qing’an’s expression also became more serious. He had seen Dong Huang’s strength. The Heavenly Dragon monk who faced against the city’s god and retreated with ease was effortlessly defeated by her.
“That is indeed remarkable. However, normally, you wouldn’t step into it, right? Besides, since it’s an array, it would take some time to function its divine power, wouldn’t it? There are so many loopholes. And how much of it is completed?”
Despite treating this Demon-Suppressing array with more respect due to Dong Huang’s assessment, he still pointed out several flaws he had identified.
No matter how formidable an array of such great scale is, it can only remain in one place. If one encounters a tough opponent, do they expect the opponent to walk right into it? Impossible.
If they could force the demons in, it would be utterly useless. They would have had such divine power to do so, indicating the demon-suppressing array is superfluous. It’s a redundant addition.
The final point is the massive form of the array. According to Dong Huang’s comments, it is still an incomplete state. How many more years of accumulation would it take to reach the strength to suppress the Human Immortal of Taoism, Ghost Immortal of Netherworld, and Arhat of Buddhism?
“It’s almost complete.”
“Hmm?”
Feng Qing’an who was just finding fault was taken aback and looked at Dong Huang,
“It’s almost complete?”
“The construction of this Demon-Suppressing Hall has lasted over eight hundred years already. Given such a long time and accumulated efforts from generations, isn’t it normal that this array is about to be completed?”
Dong Huang looked back at the Demon-Suppressing Hall behind her. The hall was cast from spiritual gold, its body was dark and covered with Sealing Spirit Talismans and Suppressing Devil Sanskrit.
Even Dong Huang had to compliment that the Human Race who set up this array had indeed done their utmost. No matter it was Taoist or Buddhist, they utilized everything useful.
Looking at this array, a Taoist priest would curse bald donkey, and a monk would chant Amitabha. But from a practical standpoint, it was indeed commendable and worth learning from.
However, it couldn’t cover up its biggest flaw, which was the limitation of the perspective and knowledge of the array’s creator. Despite numerous flaws and shortcomings, it was still a good setup.
“But it’s too big.”
Although Feng Qing’an was briefly tempted, he felt a headache looking at the Demon-Suppressing Hall in front of him. It was like a giant beast from the primordial era sprawled on the ground, seemingly ready to rise at any moment and devour countless demons.
