Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1411 - 422: Hidden Mountain Array (Part 2)
Previously on Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!...
Chen Yan rummaged through his bag and pulled out a satellite phone, dialing back to his home country.
"Keqing, I’m giving you a set of coordinates, there’s something I’d like you to handle for me..."
After talking with Chu Keqing on the phone and explaining things, Chu Keqing lingered a bit longer, chatting warmly with Chen Yan.
Knowing Chen Yan was in the mountains of South Asia, Chu Keqing wished she could fly over to accompany him immediately—she probably thought Chen Yan was cultivating deep in the mountains.
However, Chen Yan politely declined, asking Chu Keqing to deal with his matters before considering anything further.
By evening, as the sun dipped westward, Chen Yan extinguished his campfire and climbed back to the mountain summit.
At this moment, the array’s Primordial Qi had gradually depleted. Chen Yan looked around and saw in the adjacent view, a mist slowly dispersing, revealing a mountaintop!
And this mountaintop was previously invisible to the naked eye! Hidden away by Xie Jiuyan’s array!
"I’ve found your home... Xie Jiuyan."
Chen Yan laughed, and he laughed happily.
·
Wu had once told Chen Yan that over the years, he too had tried to return to this mountain, wanting to revisit the cave where Xie Jiuyan lived.
But he had failed.
After he cremated Xie Jiuyan, he left this mountain.
There was no feeling as he left, but when he tried to return, he could never find the way back.
From these words, Chen Yan concluded that Xie Jiuyan’s sanctuary was still hidden by the array he left behind.
At this moment, with the array broken by Chen Yan, and the numerous jades of the array center taken away by Chen Yan, the array’s Primordial Qi depleted, and the power of the array dissipated, this private domain belonging to Xie Jiuyan finally revealed its true appearance.
Chen Yan climbed over the mountaintop and stepped into the area previously shrouded by the array, unable to resist taking a deep breath!
The first impression: the mountain forest was extraordinarily picturesque!!!
·
In this South Asian mountain forest, the naturally hot and humid climate made the vegetation grow lush.
But within this area covered by the array, it was even more so!
In other places, although trees grew lush, the kind of trees requiring two or three people to encircle them were rare.
Yet here, these two-person trees were everywhere!
There were even trees that needed seven or eight people to encircle, which were not uncommon.
The vegetation here was clearly more lush and grew taller and more luxuriantly than the forest outside the array.
As Chen Yan took a deep breath, the feeling of dense and abundant Primordial Qi made his heart pound suddenly!!
"Such dense Primordial Qi!"
The richness of this Primordial Qi already compared to the Domain Realm.
No, it’s not just comparable to the Domain Realm!
The Primordial Qi in the Domain Realm is naturally denser than in this world, and in the Domain Realm, cultivators use arrays to create their training chambers, gathering more Primordial Qi to make their training rooms into environments dense with Primordial Qi!
And here, in the wild mountain forest, the air’s Primordial Qi is almost comparable to a sect’s training chamber in the Domain Realm!!
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in this world is originally sparse, yet outdoors, there is such a dense area of Primordial Qi.
It’s like an empty house, yet inside there is a piece of gold.
But after Chen Yan sensed it for a moment, he realized something was amiss.
The dense Primordial Qi was flowing outward!
"Now that’s right."
Chen Yan nodded slightly.
There must be some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in this hidden domain, which generates thick Primordial Qi.
But because Xie Jiuyan set up the Hidden Mountain Array, it shrouded the area’s Qi, not allowing it to disperse outward. Over time, the Primordial Qi within this Hidden Mountain Array thickened!
Now that the "cover" is removed, the excessively dense Primordial Qi inside is flowing outward.
Moreover, without the cover, the Qi density in this Hidden Mountain area cannot continue to maintain this level in the future.
However, what caught Chen Yan’s eye was...
There must be some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures here! And to make the Qi of an entire mountain area so dense, these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures are surely not ordinary!
·
With the Hidden Mountain Array gone, Chen Yan took only two hours to find the cave where Xie Jiuyan once lived.
The cave, as Wu described, was indeed very spacious.
Although more than a decade had passed, naturally leaving a lot of dust on the ground, as Chen Yan stepped into the cave, he still felt the cave walls shimmered, faintly emitting a flowing light.
Clearly, the cave walls, under the daily nourishment of Primordial Qi, had gradually crystallized.
Looking inside, even without lighting, everything was still clearly visible.
The flow of Qi inside the cave moved from inside to outside, from bottom to top. Clearly, the depths of the cave must have the source of the dispersed Primordial Qi!
Chen Yan examined the cave carefully and found some traces of human habitation.
Some simple household items, pots and bowls, and even some basic tools.
He even found some clothes, flattened under a stone-made cover.
Long robes and wide sleeves, made of hemp cloth. After over a decade, these clothes were already dilapidated.
This Great Grandmaster Xie Jiuyan lived quite a frugal life.
Chen Yan silently looked at these things for a couple of moments, then carefully returned them to their original places.
Then, he turned and continued deeper into the mountain’s interior.
After walking more than ten steps, Chen Yan slowed his pace.
In the air, from the depths of the mountain, faintly came a hint of a fishy smell.
