Hundreds of Void Refinement Realm Undying Puppets unleashed a terrifying Tier Six Grand Array against Jiang Fan. He activated the Heaven-Time Talisman, freezing their movements, then used the Heaven-Stealing Claw Talisman to extract and crush their cores, destroying them all. Passing the Puppet Barrier, he received a Life Source Stone containing a drop of Kunpeng Essence Blood, which he appraised to enhance his Soaring Snake Technique.

The power of destiny remains profoundly enigmatic and boundless, as if it could delve into the secrets of fate itself.

Through this, it effortlessly discerns various objects.

Upon receiving this insight, Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed sharply. A surge of thrill coursed through him. Never had he anticipated acquiring such a priceless gem; a drop of Kunpeng essence blood was incredibly rare.

In the Ancient Era, True Spirit Essence Blood commanded value equal to entire cities.

Moreover, this particular drop of Kunpeng essence blood was impeccably preserved, making it an ultimate boon for body refining.

It’s a supreme treasure coveted by countless body refining cultivators.

"Of course, I’m willing to proceed with the trial."

Jiang Fan swiftly stowed the Life Source Stone away.

He understood this outcome tied directly to the Cangwu Immortal Mansion’s Mansion Spirit.

Thanks to its awakening, it managed to subtly influence the mansion’s trial system.

Had the eerie presence dominated, even succeeding in the trial would yield no rewards.

And should a reward appear, escape from Cangwu Immortal Mansion would prove impossible.

Yet, his entry into Cangwu Immortal Mansion aimed squarely at confronting this eerie presence, so departure was out of the question.

After all, its unchecked power recovery would surely unleash catastrophic havoc.

"Next, face the Array Barrier."

"Break this Tier Seven Array—the Starlight Seven Killing Array—within one year."

"Failure means death right here."

The voice echoed once more.

Boom~~

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Fan found himself whisked to a new location.

This enigmatic realm was enveloped by a majestic stellar formation that blotted out the heavens.

Countless stars dotted the firmament above.

Dazzling starlight cascaded from on high, mesmerizing in its splendor yet laced with deadly menace.

One beam striking his form could spell instant doom.

"Curse you, human cultivator."

"Think conquering the Puppet Barrier lets you breeze through the Array Barrier?"

"This Tier Seven Array spells doom even for Integration Cultivators trapped inside."

"Let alone a puny Void Refining Cultivator—you’re finished now."

"No savior for you."

Truth be told, the eerie presence seethed with shock and fury. It hadn’t foreseen the trial’s maximum difficulty being surmounted.

Under normal circumstances, passage should’ve been impossible.

Yet this youth breezed through the puppet trial with shocking ease.

Without beholding it firsthand, such an event would’ve seemed utterly implausible.

Still, this only highlighted the grave peril this human cultivator represented.

Should he conquer every trial and approach its core, dire threats loomed.

It absolutely could not permit his success.

Originally, it assumed the Mansion Spirit’s meddling would drive the boy from Cangwu Immortal Mansion, but his brazen choice to remain defied expectations.

Thus, it felt no remorse in bending the rules.

"The Starlight Seven Killing Array draws from the Immortal Realm’s Twenty-eight Star Constellations Map, summoning void-born Power of the Stars."

"It amasses boundless starlight into an expansive light net, stretching across hundreds of thousands of kilometers."

"One strike fells even Integration Cultivators."

"Back in the Ancient Era, this mighty array obliterated an entire Integration Sect."

"A trifling Void Refining Cultivator stands no chance against it."

The eerie presence soon regained its composure.

It grudgingly acknowledged the youth’s battle prowess as extraordinary.

But confronting a Tier Seven Array was perilous even for Integration Realm experts, akin to treading fragile ice.

Far less for a Void Refining Cultivator.

A single misstep within guarantees obliteration, with zero hope of reprieve.

Regardless of a Void Refining Cultivator’s might, a Tier Seven Grand Array seals their fate.

"The Tier Seven Array, Starlight Seven Killing Array?"

"How exactly do I tackle this?"

Gazing at the array before him, Jiang Fan blinked in bewilderment.

For he possessed zero knowledge of arrays.

Right then, guidance flooded into his sea of consciousness.

"The Starlight Seven Killing Array serves as both killing and trapping formation."

"Despite its infinite profundities, flaws exist within."

"Move three steps northeast, halt one second, then five steps southwest, pause two seconds."

"Follow with a spin and leap to evade incoming starlight."

Upon sensing this message, Jiang Fan instantly grasped that destiny's power would lead him to shatter this grand array.

To other Void Refining Cultivators, it's an impossible formation to crack, yet for him, under destiny's watchful eye, everything stands fully exposed.

Swoosh!

That notion sparking in his mind, Jiang Fan plunged forward without delay, entering the grand array.

"What's happening? Did this kid just charge straight into the Starlight Seven Killing Array? No need to even glance at it first?"

"Does he possess that level of absolute confidence?"

"It's a Tier Seven Grand Array—how bold can someone get?"

Watching this unfold, the eerie presence felt total bewilderment, unable to fathom why this human cultivator dared stride through the array without a single look. It was beyond outrageous.

Even a Tier Seven Array Master would hesitate long before tackling this formation—what's the deal here?!

Moments later, it watched the human cultivator halt and navigate inside the array, as though he'd unlocked every secret of the Starlight Seven Killing Array, each footstep striking right at its vulnerabilities.

Countless starlights crashing down only skimmed by him, failing to touch his body.

This human cultivator glided like a phantom within the array, wandering at ease as if heading back to his own dwelling, paying zero heed to the Tier Seven Array.

In less than ten minutes, the human cultivator smoothly traversed the Tier Seven Array, arriving at the far side and breaking out.

"You're messing with me? This toughest Array Barrier—passed just like that?"

"In only ten minutes—who exactly is this guy?"

The eerie presence flew into a complete frenzy.

It had assumed that no matter how strong this human cultivator might be, deciphering the Tier Seven Array would demand months of effort.

Yet merely ten minutes ticked by, leaving it clueless about the feat's execution.

Did this kid pull some cheat?

Still, it spotted no trace of any foul play from the boy.

This sparked helpless fury within it.

At the same time, a profound unease brewed deeper inside, as it dreaded that a enigmatic human cultivator like this could genuinely imperil its survival.

Boom~~

A voice echoed once more: "Congratulations on passing the Array Barrier, you will receive a gift from Cangwu Immortal Mansion."

"Do you wish to continue the trial?"

"If you do not wish to, you will be transported out of Cangwu Immortal Mansion."

Thud!

Suddenly, a Storage Bag plummeted from the void, dropping directly before Jiang Fan.

Undoubtedly, this marked the gift from Cangwu Immortal Mansion.

"No way, seriously?"

"Immortal Stones—and a full ten thousand of them—it's downright astonishing."

Jiang Fan inspected the Storage Bag, his pupils shrinking despite himself.

He promptly detected the abundant Immortal Spirit Qi stored inside the Storage Bag.

In truth, the treasures packed into the Storage Bag stunned beyond measure.

Simply conquering one trial rewarded him with ten thousand Immortal Stones.

Earlier, after braving endless ordeals, he'd scraped together just over twenty thousand Immortal Stones.

Now, ten thousand Immortal Stones came his way in one shot—utterly lavish.

This underscored the staggering riches of Cangwu Immortal Mansion versus anywhere else.

No surprise Cangwu Immortal Mansion commanded fame in the Ancient Era, with such open-handed rewards, akin to a supreme tycoon.

"Of course, I wish to continue the trial—let's go ahead."

Jiang Fan responded right away.

He aimed to seize every last reward from Cangwu Immortal Mansion.

Merely two trials cleared, and already such prizes flowed in.

What fortunes lay in the trials yet to come?

Anticipation already surged through him.
