Cultivation Starts from Farming

Although he could also use Earth's energy to arrange arrays, compared to the array before him, it was like comparing clouds to mud.

The subtlety and profundity displayed by this attack array were far beyond his reach.

It was obvious that the cultivator who designed this array had attained the pinnacle of array mastery, far exceeding him.

"Could it be the work of a Fourth Rank Array Grandmaster?" Xu Ping couldn't help but entertain such a thought in his mind.

"Humph, I don't believe I can't break your tortoise-shell-like array!"

At this moment, Elder Li outside the array recovered from his brief shock, a sinister gleam flashing in the depth of his eyes.

Thousand Leaves Mountain was merely a Second-stage Upper Grade Spirit Vein, already reaching its limit laying a Quasi-Tier Three array on this foundation.

Moreover, a constant input of a large number of Spirit Stones was needed to maintain the normal operation of the array.

According to common logic, the attack array they were employing should be more than sufficient to deal with a Quasi-Tier Three array, which should have no power to resist.

Yet, as things stood, Thousand Leaves Mountain's array remained intact and stable!

Although Elder Li was filled with numerous thoughts, he knew that this was not the moment to dwell on them.

Decisively, he formed a seal with both hands again, continually channeling Mana into the black energy.

With Elder Li's Mana infusion, the black energy grew thicker and more imposing.

It charged towards the foundation of the array once more, this time hitting with even greater force.

A string of muffled roars emerged from the underground, as if a thousand horses were galloping beneath.

The array over Thousand Leaves Mountain flickered violently, the azure light surged, nearly illuminating the sky.

But soon, it returned to tranquility, still perfectly safeguarding all of Thousand Leaves Mountain.

"No, I absolutely cannot allow them to attack endlessly like this!"

Xu Ping's gaze fell coldly upon the group of demon cultivators, a faint, icy killing intent involuntarily flashing in his eyes.

Although this group of demon cultivators couldn't break through the Myriad Manifestations Wood Spirit Array, they continuously sketched the foundation of the attack array with Earth's energy.

The two powerful forces clashing fiercely underground, over time, would surely cause severe damage to the Spirit Vein of Thousand Leaves Mountain.

If it were a mature Quasi-Tier Three Spirit Vein, such impact would naturally be negligible.

But Thousand Leaves Mountain's Quasi-Tier Three Spirit Vein had just been upgraded, its stability was far inferior to those mature Spirit Veins tempered through the ages.

If the attacks from these demon cultivators led to damage to the Spirit Vein, it would be the last thing Xu Ping would want to see.

"Since you seek death, I can't be blamed!" Xu Ping's eyes were now filled with intense killing intent.

Even though they were merely an Early Stage Golden Core and a Fake Pill Demon Cultivator, he was confident he could severely injure or even slay them, even without revealing too many trump cards.

With this thought, he pinched a magic technique with both hands, and an array path suddenly appeared.

Without hesitation, he stepped out.

"Elder Li, how about we retreat first? This array is too formidable, we're afraid..."

The Fake Pill cultivator said, plucking up the courage after seeing the unyielding array over Thousand Leaves Mountain.

For some reason, he felt more and more that his divination might have been accurate this time.

Upon hearing this, Elder Li's face turned completely dark, he was about to rebuke but ultimately kept silent.

He understood the other was not wrong.

The Mountain Protection Array of Thousand Leaves Mountain was truly formidable, even if they spent more time, they might not be able to shake it.

If too much time was wasted here, the encirclement squad would soon catch up.

However, just as he was about to give up and retreat, Xu Ping emerged from the array.

Xu Ping stood there, tall and straight, clad in azure, calmly watching them from the void.

"Could this person be insane?"

Seeing this, Elder Li was initially stunned, then a suppressed joy suddenly surged in his eyes.

He hadn't expected such an unexpected benefit just as he was considering retreating?

Was this person relying on some Third-rank talismans and thus disregarding Golden Core cultivators?

"Utter foolishness!"

At this thought, Elder Li sneered hideously.

Immediately, his Mana surged vehemently around him like a raging tide, and he launched a swift palm strike.

No matter the reason, since the other had voluntarily walked out of that sturdy array, in Elder Li's view, his fate was sealed.

Buzz!

In an instant, a gigantic Mana palm loomed in the void, carrying the pressure of a Golden Core cultivator, it fiercely slammed towards Xu Ping.

That pressure felt almost tangible, making the surrounding air erupt with cracking sounds.

Witnessing this scene, Xu Ping's eyes remained calm as still water.

If not for the worry of overly exposing his profound Sword Dao realm, he would've already unsheathed his sword, beheading the foe on the spot.

"Hasten!"

Xu Ping softly uttered, while pinching a magic technique with both hands.

In an instant, a Third-rank Lower Grade Talisman, the Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talisman suddenly appeared in his hand.

This talisman emitted a ghostly blue radiance, with flickering runes seemingly brimming with infinite Thunder Power.

Under Xu Ping's control, the talisman's light suddenly intensified.

It then transformed into a Thunder Dragon with bared fangs and claws, surrounded by thick thunderbolts, roaring as it charged towards the enormous Mana palm.

Boom!

The moment the Thunder Dragon and Mana palm collided, a tremendous deafening sound erupted, as if the entire world trembled.

Powerful energy fluctuations crazily spread outward from the point of impact, forming visible shockwaves to the naked eye.
