Chapter 92: Six Gods
“The Defensive Array in the Meditation Chamber? Li Yi, can’t you handle such a small problem yourself?” Wang Sheng’s voice sounded somewhat impatient.
“Of course, you’re the expert,” Li Yi replied with a cheeky grin.
“Fine, but I don’t have time today. Tomorrow, I’ll come find you tomorrow. It works out; I can give you that Myriad Array Collection then.”
“The Myriad Array Collection? So, does that mean you succeeded with the ‘Wheel of Six Paths’? Such a grand and imposing name must be extraordinary. Is it your masterpiece?” Li Yi raised his tone.
“Masterpiece? Absolutely! But you’re wrong about one thing—it’s not an array,” Wang Sheng said.
“Not an array? Then what is it? Whatever, once I get my hands on it, I’ll study it carefully. I hope it’s not all talk and no action…” Li Yi remarked.
“Don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed.”
“Well then, I’ll wait and see!”
“That’s settled. See you tomorrow; I’ve got some things to attend to.”
“Alright, I won’t bother you further.”
“Goodbye.”
A large hand pressed down on the Voice-Transmission Array, deactivating it.
This hand was rough and pudgy, covered in layered wrinkles as if countless ants were clinging to it.
Upon closer look, both the palm and the back of the hand were densely patterned with magical lines. They resembled intersecting warp and weft threads or countless coiled dragons scattered like stars, exuding a strange and powerful aura!
Bathed in the lamplight, Wang Sheng sat upright with a solemn posture.
After not seeing him for some time, his body had become even more bloated. By appearance alone, he seemed to have gained another twenty or thirty pounds.
He was completely naked, wearing only shorts, revealing sagging, wrinkled skin—a sight hardly worthy of admiration.
But it wasn’t that simple!
In the dim light, every inch of his corpulent body was covered in layers upon layers of magical lines—some curved, some straight, some horizontal, some vertical. They appeared chaotic at first glance but actually followed a hidden order, like mysterious and unpredictable stellar orbits or an elusive Great Dao, emanating a vast and imposing presence.
Tracing back to their sources, there were array hubs on his limbs, chest, and abdomen—six in total, each with its own function.
And around each hub, six small arrays revolved, each with different attributes and clearly defined levels.
Across his entire body, six large arrays and thirty-six small arrays coiled—forty-two arrays in total!
Wang Sheng hadn’t been boasting. This “Wheel of Six Paths” was not an array.
Based on the definition of an array, what he bore on his body was a genuine Super Magic Array, and a remarkably large one at that!
Li Yi had once joked whether this Wheel of Six Paths was an Arcane Energy Array or even a Super Magic Array. It was meant as a jest, but it turned out to be prophetic!
A Super Magic Array drawn on a human body? This feat was undoubtedly unprecedented, shining through the ages!
“Quietly, I invite the Six Gods to descend!”
Raising both hands, he whispered softly. Pinpricks of starlight surged wildly from every inch of his fat.
His Mana seemed to be stored within his fat!
Buzz!
Like sparks igniting on his body, they spread like wildfire, boiling and surging across his entire form.
On his left arm, a cyan light gradually brightened, evoking the growth of a hundred grasses and the renewal of ten thousand trees in spring.
On his right arm, a red light erupted violently, with blazing flames and scorching heatwaves.
On his left leg, a white light danced incessantly, accompanied by the whistling wind and a sharp, exposed edge.
On his right leg, a yellow light stood firm and majestic, like a hidden great mountain embodying profound virtue.
Next, from his chest and abdomen, a flash of silver light and a flash of black light leaped simultaneously—one symbolizing radiance, the other hinting at the Nine Nether.
“Come forth, Six Gods!”
This time, Wang Sheng was no longer whispering but shouting loudly, as if to startle the heavens!
The lights surged and leaped like fish jumping in the sea at this moment, transforming into the shadows of six gigantic beasts that swam and circled.
These six colossal beasts each bore a noble and majestic appearance, transcending the ordinary, their momentum soaring like divine phoenixes, no less than deities!
The roars of the beasts arose, shaking the world!
Six Beast Gods!
Lord of Ten Thousand Trees—Azure Dragon!
Tyrant of Violent Storms—White Tiger!
King of Blazing Flames—Vermilion Bird!
Overlord of the Great Earth—Black Tortoise!
Radiant Emperor of Light—Gou Chen!
Great Emperor of the Nine Nether—Soaring Serpent!
Although named the Wheel of Six Paths, it had not a shred of connection to the Six Paths of Samsara. Instead, it communicated with the Six Gods!
These Six Gods were not deities in the ordinary sense. They were not transformed from humans or beasts but were projections of Rules, symbolizing six supreme Rules!
Inside the small chamber, seven-colored lights intertwined, with sounds like dragon roars and phoenix cries lingering faintly. The tremendous commotion even startled dozens of nearby Meditation Chambers.
However, these people were already used to it.
“Has that fatty’s Thousand Illusions Array reached such a level? Just now, the beast roars made me feel a soul pressure, my Mana solidified, and I couldn’t move.”
“You’re just cowardly! Illusion arrays are ultimately just petty tricks meant to deceive the eyes, hardly worthy of elegance.”
“But that feeling was so real…”
“I think your recent cultivation hasn’t been smooth, and you’re troubled by an Inner Demon.”
“Oh, that might be possible.”
After a few exchanged words, the onlookers soon dispersed.
As the mighty roars faded, the lights on Wang Sheng’s body lay dormant. Even the rugged array lines seemed to retract into his skin, disappearing without a trace.
Seemingly unchanged, Wang Sheng opened his eyes. A point of sharp light flickered in his pupils, like a small boat tossing on a raging sea!
“The Superior Spell Seal! Xuan’er, I finally have the ability to avenge you…”
His low murmur actually stirred a storm of billions of elements within the small chamber!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four consecutive explosions sounded as the Defensive Arrays on the four walls shattered in response.
“Wang Sheng, did your Thousand Illusions Array fail again?” someone asked with gleeful schadenfreude, drawn by the noise.
“Yeah, it failed!” Wang Sheng replied impassively. “It failed…”
…
Night fell once more.
Li Yi was not meditating. He coiled his limbs, resembling an octopus perched on a sea reef—a peculiar posture.
Siren Splits the Tide!
Before him lay the bottleneck of the Magic Vortex. Continuing to cultivate forcefully would only increase the difficulty of condensing the Magic Vortex as his internal Mana grew stronger.
Thus, the gain would not be worth the loss.
Li Yi didn’t mind. He turned his attention to diligently practicing the “Five Beasts Exercise.”
Starting with one finger.
First, one finger bent and stretched, moving rhythmically. It seemed insignificant, but before long, it created a narrow, elongated Elemental Tide vortex outside the finger.
Then, the second finger, the third finger, the fourth finger…
All ten fingers danced together.
Li Yi’s body remained somewhat lazily motionless, yet within the room, countless Elemental Tide vortices had formed, swirling at different heights like beautiful, dazzling stars.
“Whew!”
Progressing step by step.
Li Yi sat up straight. Countrous bulges moved across his skin, rising and falling, stirring the elements into turbulence!
The once tranquil Elemental Tide, after his repeated agitations, became tumultuous and stormy, crashing against the four walls before rebounding and washing over his body.
The Elemental Tide assailing his body felt like a blizzard carrying ice shards. Its force was stronger than a heavy punch, making Li Yi grit his teeth in pain.
Just like Mammoth Shakes the Mountain, Siren Splits the Tide was best cultivated in the sea, where one could churn the waves and split the tides, achieving greater effect!
However, at night, under the Star-Slaying Knot, the Elemental Tide in this room was no less formidable than seawater.
As the Elemental Tide washed over his body, most of it bounced back, but a tiny fraction dissolved into his flesh and bones, strengthening his physique.
…
The moonlight was intense.
A black shadow, like a Dark River, flowed soundlessly across the ground.
Within the Star Radiance Tower, the densely arranged Magic Eyes, Listening Ears, and magical traps didn’t activate—not a single one!
Just then, footsteps sounded—patrolling Mages.
The shadow slithered swiftly, merging into the tree shade without leaving a trace.
Once the patrolling Mages left, the shadow flowed again.
Meditation Chamber, ninety-five.
This shadow, seeming to have no volume, drifted out from the narrow gap beneath the door.
You Honghu’s figure emerged from the shadow. He didn’t emit the slightest aura; even with Li Yi’s perception, he remained undetected.
At this moment, Li Yi had just finished a round of cultivation. He was drenched in sweat, panting heavily, and sitting on the floor to rest.
“Is this… a body-refining technique? How is this kid’s body so strong?”
The Black Rope You Clan often needed to refine corpse puppets. You Honghu had personally seen many corpses, but this youth’s physique was actually not inferior to a powerful martial artist—truly odd.
“Also, the elemental concentration in this room… Needless to say, that guy Wang Sheng has been giving him special treatment.”
After a few thoughts, You Honghu lost interest. The Black Rope You Clan refined corpses, not bodies.
His mental energy flowed, coalescing at his fingertips into a long black spike.
Mind Spike!
A powerhouse like him could freely manipulate mental energy, shaping it into a spike to pierce through souls!
This way, Li Yi’s body would bear not a single wound, leaving no trace to investigate.
“Goodbye, little guy…”
One stab, aimed at his neck.
