I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives

West River Immortal City.

A colossal entity sprawling in the heart of the Western Border!

At this moment, the City Defense Array of the Immortal City has already been activated, shrouded in a misty spirit light like a canopy over the entire city, with array patterns slowly flowing on the light membrane.

On top of the city walls, cultivators hold magical artifacts in their hands, their eyes vigilant as they stare outside the city. The tense atmosphere stirred by demon cultivators outside makes everyone's nerves stretched tight.

On this day, a figure enveloped in black demonic flames suddenly appeared in front of the city.

Within the demonic flames, Venerable Black Demon's face was hideous and terrifying. He hovered in mid-air, his voice full of arrogant laughter echoing across the city:

"Li Yuan brat, back then you managed to wound me by relying on the grand array. Dare to come out and fight with me today?"

Master Li Yuan, stationed in the Immortal City, was reviewing defenses in his residence. Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, his heart sank instantly.

Ten years ago, he lured the opponent into the array, barely injuring Venerable Black Demon by leveraging the power of the Tier Three City Defense Array and forced him to retreat.

Now the opponent has returned, surely well-prepared, a foreboding premonition spreading in his mind.

Li Yuan quickly ascended the city wall, holding the Array Order, and coldly shouted:

"If you have the ability, attack the city! The grand array of West River Immortal City is not for you to mess with!"

"Hahaha, just as I wished!"

Venerable Black Demon burst into wild laughter, gesturing to the demon cultivators behind him.

Dozens of qi cultivating demon cultivators were seen pushing twelve sinister war chariots slowly forward.

The war chariots were crafted entirely from profound iron, their bodies covered with twisted demon patterns, their barrels aimed at the Immortal City Array, exuding a creepy forbidden-breaking atmosphere.

Venerable Black Demon patted the war chariot, eyes full of pride:

"This is my 'Array-Breaking Vehicle', built with ten years of painstaking efforts, specifically to counter your City Defense Array!"

"Li Yuan, you're just an Alchemist, not even an Array Master. You control the array with the Array Banner, the Tier Three Array in your hands can exert at most thirty percent of its power!"

"Once I break your array, I will turn you and this Immortal City into ashes!"

"Fire!"

With an order from Venerable Black Demon, twelve Array-Breaking Vehicles roared simultaneously.

Black demonic qi waves surged forth like tides, carrying sharp forbidden-breaking runes, ruthlessly slamming into the light membrane of the Immortal City Array.

"Boom——"

A deep rumbling shook the city walls slightly, intense ripples emerged on the light membrane, array patterns flickered unsteadily, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any time.

Li Yuan's hand holding the Array Order tightened slightly; he could clearly feel the spiritual power of the array rapidly depleting.

He hurriedly summoned several Tier Two Array Masters from the city, speaking deeply:

"Quick, deploy all reserve spirit stones to reinforce the array!"

Several Tier Two Array Masters swiftly stepped forward, heading to core nodes, quickly tracing over the branch array banners, injecting streams of spirit light into the array.

Soon after, a trusted aide reported:

"Rest assured, Master! At the current attack strength, it's enough to support three months!"

Only then did Li Yuan breathe a sigh of relief, three months' time is adequate for the sect to receive the message and send reinforcements.

He immediately called a trusted disciple and instructed:

"Strictly control the order within the city, thoroughly investigate spies, do not let demon cultivators cause chaos inside the city!"

"Yes!"

The trusted disciple accepted the command and left.

Outside the city, seeing the attack effect of the Array-Breaking Vehicles gradually weaken the array's light membrane, yet never breaking, Venerable Black Demon suddenly frowned.

He turned to look at a chubby old man behind him, the old man dressed in a black robe, exuding a sinister aura, was none other than the Enchanting Elder adept at manipulating minds.

Venerable Black Demon said coldly:

"Enchanting, the spies you planted inside the city should be moved now, have them damage several array nodes, stir up some trouble."

Enchanting Elder showed a sinister smile, cupped his hands, and said:

"Rest assured, Venerable, everything is prepared."

He raised his hand to form a seal, a wisp of black qi overflowed from his fingertips, merging into the ground.

Inside the city, several seemingly ordinary cultivators suddenly turned pale, faint bloody patterns emerged on their chests, their eyes turned dull and frenzied—they were precisely the spies planted by Enchanting Elder.

Following prior instructions, they rushed towards the locations of the array nodes, holding demon artifacts prepared in advance, intending to destroy the array base.

But as soon as they approached the nodes, a purple spirit light suddenly shot out from the direction of the city wall.

Li Yuan held the Array Banner, sneering as he looked at the scene:

"I knew you had further plans; such petty tricks try to flaunt in front of me?"

He waved the Array Banner, its thunder patterns instantly lit up, several purple lightning bolts descended accurately upon the spies.

"Crackle—"

The lightning flashed, the spies didn't even have time to scream and were struck into charcoal, the demonic qi inside them completely purified by the lightning.

Seeing this, outside the city, Venerable Black Demon turned livid with rage, gathered a black flame whip in his hand, and viciously lashed at Enchanting Elder.

"Useless! Don't even deploy a few spies properly, why keep you!"

Enchanting Elder was knocked to the ground, his black robe instantly burnt with several holes by the demonic flames, he scrambled to rise up, kneeling and pleading repeatedly:

"Forgive me, Venerable! It was my failure to underestimate Li Yuan's vigilance, it won't happen again!"

Venerable Black Demon snorted coldly, retracting the fire whip, his gaze again fixed on the Immortal City Array, eyes full of resentment.

On the Immortal City, Li Yuan watched Venerable Black Demon outside the city, furious and exasperated, slowly exhaled a foul breath.

He knew, this was just temporary calm, Venerable Black Demon would not easily give up.

He quickly walked to the long-distance Communication Array, meticulously documented the situation of West River Immortal City onto a Jade Scroll, infused it with spiritual power, the Jade Scroll transformed into several streams of spirit light and fled towards Qinghua Sect.
