"So that's how it is!"

Qin Xiao waved his hand, and with a thought, the Sword Array appeared. Thirty-six low grade swords were sent flying, and they formed the Heavenly Astral Devil Subduing Formation. The Sword Array smashed down, and the destructive force created a huge crater that was dozens of meters wide. What they saw was terrifying.

The power this time was almost ten times stronger than before.

"Such power is more than enough to kill an ordinary Peak of the Bone Exchange Stage in an instant." Qin Xiao curled his mouth. He thought in his heart that if he were to meet Soong Long and Ni Taibai again, he would only need a Sword Array to sweep out and kill the two of them on the spot.

Even if it was Jiagu, he would not be able to kill them in one strike. Two strikes should not be a problem.

Of course, the Elemental Energy consumed by using this Sword Array was indeed a little troublesome.

If he used his full strength, he estimated that Qin Xiao wouldn't be able to use it three or four times. But speaking of which, three or four times was already enough. As long as there wasn't any major situation, there wouldn't be any problem.

"It seems like I have to go to spirit Island and cultivate properly after returning to the prefecture. I'll have to refine some restoration pills." Qin Xiao thought to himself. He had already suffered the loss of not having any restoration pills on him in the outside world. If there were some restoration pills... That Elemental Energy could recover in a short period of time. If that was the case, their endurance in battle would be guaranteed. At the critical moment, he would be able to save his life.

Naturally, he could not lack something that could save his life.

Of course, it was not a good thing to rely too much on external forces. It was still very good to experience some life and death tribulations appropriately.

Along the way, Qin Xiao could be considered to have experienced a lot. Only by experiencing tribulations could he grow faster.

Flowers in a greenhouse would die prematurely sooner or later. Qin Xiao came from a poor background, so he was used to this.

He put away the 36 low grade swords. These 36 swords were a complete set, and each sword was exactly the same, without any deviation. Under such circumstances, only then could the power of the Sword Array be guaranteed. If there were some other mixed up, then the power would be reduced by quite a bit.

The Heavenly Astral Devil Subduing Formation was considered a success.

Qin Xiao's gaze swept across the other 107 sets of Sword Array. Among them were the 36 middle grade Sword Array sets. For the time being, it was not something Qin Xiao could cultivate.

"108 sets of Sword Array, 72 sets of low grade Sword Array. 36 sets of middle grade Sword Array. Each set is so exquisite and peerless. If word of this were to spread, i'm afraid it's going to cause a huge stir. These 108 Sword Array sets were simply a massive treasure trove. I'm afraid that even King of Damo will be jealous if he finds out about it." Qin Xiao curled his lips. Now, he was guarding this huge treasure.

The value of the Sword Array cultivation technique. Although Qin Xiao wasn't very clear about it, judging from his deductions, he believed that he wouldn't be able to buy this Heavenly Astral Devil Subduing Formation cultivation technique without a few thousand Primary Stones. Of course, this was only Qin Xiao's speculation. It might be even more expensive.

The more expensive it was, the more difficult it was to get started on the formation.

At least, in the past hundred years, there hadn't been a single Array Master in Liufeng County.

In the surrounding dozens of counties, at least Qin Xiao had never heard of the existence of an Array Master.

The status of an Array Master was very extraordinary. It was much rarer than a Spirit Master, and its status was also much higher.

For example, there was a defensive formation set up in the Guard of Damo sub-guards of the Liufeng County. It was set up by a formation grandmaster in the Imperial City, and used to guard the sub-guards. Even a Martial Force Stage warrior wouldn't be able to break into the guards by force. This was the power of the formation.

Qin Xiao still didn't know much about formations. Currently, he only knew about the defensive formation of the Guard of Damo guards. Moreover, the defensive formation hadn't been activated yet, so he had never felt it before.

Qin Xiao's eyes swept across the surroundings. There were only three days left before the deadline. Qin Xiao couldn't help but wonder if he had passed the test or not.

If he could infer that he had successfully cultivated the Heavenly Astral Devil Subduing Formation, he should be considered to have passed the test.

However, why did it feel like there was no reaction at all?

The surroundings were still as calm as before.

Just as Qin Xiao was feeling puzzled, he felt a wave of fluctuation in the space in front of him. Soon, two figures appeared out of thin air.

A man in silver armor, who looked to be no older than thirty years old, had a cold expression on his face, and a cold look in his eyes. Anyone who looked at him would feel that he was a bit terrifying.

There was also an old man dressed in a black robe. One could only see a pair of eyes that were as deep as black holes, flickering with a black luster. It was strange that they belonged to a forest person.

He had a hunchbacked figure, and he held an ancient looking scepter in his hand. However, his body was emitting an incomparably eerie and terrifying aura. He was like a devil. If it wasn't for Qin Xiao's good mental state, he would have been scared.

With just a glance at his attire, one could tell that he was from the Nether Devil Clan.

However, Qin Xiao wasn't afraid at all. The Nether Devil Clan was the guardian of the Heavenly Awakening Gate. They had been guarding the Heavenly Awakening Gate in the Nether Devil Valley for generations. It was said that they were the servants of the ancestors of the Heavenly Awakening Gate, the Expert. After the ancestor, the Expert, died... He had asked the Nether Devil Clan to swear on their souls that they would protect the Heaven Enlightening Gate for generations. Only after finding the heir could he be free.

If he really passed the test and became the successor of the Expert, then the Nether Devil Clan should listen to his orders.

Seeing the appearance of these two men, Qin Xiao was slightly excited. It seemed like he had indeed passed the test.

"Sword One greets Master!" The silver-armored man knelt down on one knee and called out respectfully.

"Subordinate Nether Ancestor greets Master!" The old ancestor of the Nether Devil Clan also knelt down.

Although he didn't know the strength of these two men, Qin Xiao could still feel that they were both very powerful, far from being a match for him. Now, these two men were kneeling in front of him and calling him Master. This feeling was truly wonderful.

"You two, there's no need to be so polite. Please rise." Qin Xiao said. Only then did the two of them get up.

Qin Xiao looked at the two of them and said, "Sword One, Nether Ancestor. I am still confused. You guys better explain these circumstances to me."

The sword nodded and said, "My first Master is Tianqi King. The strength of an Expert figure from 1,200 years ago is comparable to the current King of Damo. I, Master, have been obsessed with the Dao of Sword Array my entire life. With the Dao of Sword Array, I can shake the world and look down on the four seas. However, i, Master, was too unique when I was alive. I was proud and aloof all my life. I did not create any power, nor did I establish a country. He did not take in any disciples, so he died of old age alone."

"That's why I feel a bit regretful. That's why I left all of his knowledge and inheritance here, and established the Heavenly Awakening Gate. It opens once every three hundred years for those who are fated to come to this place and inherit his inheritance. This can be considered as making up for some of Master's regrets."

"After Master died, I was also left behind in Heaven Awakening Palace. I have always been guarding this underground palace, waiting for those who are fated to come. Nine hundred years ago, there was a cabin that had entered this place. Unfortunately, he was still unable to pass the test in the end. So, Master, you passed the test today. If you meet Tianqi King's requirements, you can inherit everything here. You will become the new Master of Sword One and the new Master of Nether Devil Clan. You can become the new Master of Heaven Awakening Palace. "

"Tianqi King, his strength is on par with King of Damo!"

Qin Xiao was shocked when he heard this.

King of Damo, what kind of existence was that? He was a supreme existence, the supreme ruler of Damo Kingdom Domain. He held the power to control the lives and deaths of billions of people. In everyone's heart, he was like a god.

The Expert left behind by the ancestors of the Heaven Enlightening Gate was also Sealing King's. How could it be compared to King of Damo? Wasn't this too powerful?

Qin Xiao had no idea how strong King of Damo was.

However, what made Qin Xiao even more shocked was, "Wait, sword One, tell me - you followed Tianqi King all those years ago. You have been guarding the Heaven Awakening Palace until now. However, it had already been 1,200 years. How can you live for so long?"

More than a thousand years?

What kind of old monster is this?

This didn't make sense. Even if it was King of Damo, he wouldn't be able to live for more than a thousand years, right?

Furthermore, King of Damo was just a title, and it didn't refer to a single person. King of Damo was the supreme ruler of the Damo Kingdom. The King of Damo of the Damo Kingdom had already been passed down to the fifth generation. On average, the King of Damo of the first generation could hold the Damo Kingdom for two hundred years. His lifespan was estimated to be around 300 years.

How was it possible for him to live for a thousand years?

What kind of supreme existence would be required to live for such a long time?

Next to him, Nether Ancestor's ancient voice rang out, "New Master, sword One is actually not a human. He is a puppet. As long as he has the energy to maintain it, not to mention a thousand years, even ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, he will be able to live."

"What?! Puppet? A puppet that has lived for a thousand years?" Qin Xiao was shocked once again. He had only heard of puppets once in a while.

The path of puppets was the same as the path of formation. Both of them were extremely rare, unlike the path of the Spirit Master.

Array Master Puppet Masters were considered two very special occupations. It was precisely because they were not too rare that they were not known by ordinary people. As for their status, it was somewhat extraordinary.

However, the threshold was relatively high, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to come into contact with them. Even Qin Xiao had never come into contact with them before.2

Qin Xiao sized up Sword One from head to toe. He looked no different from a real person, except for his cold expression and cold eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that he was a puppet, he wouldn't be able to recognize him.

It was actually a puppet!

Qin Xiao suddenly felt that his knowledge was still too short. But it was no wonder. After all, he had never seen anything like this before. It was impossible for a puppet to appear in a place like the Liufeng County.

Only now did Qin Xiao remember that the one he tested in Great Wilderness was a puppet. He had always been puzzled about this matter. Now that he thought about it, he finally understood that it was a puppet. This made it very easy to explain.

Jian Yi continued to explain everything to Qin Xiao. He also told him about the Heaven Enlightening Gate, Heaven Awakening Palace, and Nether Devil Clan. He also told Qin Xiao about the test that was held once every three hundred years.

After listening to the story, Qin Xiao had a general understanding of the whole thing. Only then did he understand what was going on.

Simply put, Tianqi King didn't want his life's knowledge to be brought underground. He wanted to leave it to the future generations. That was why he set up the test, waiting for the fated person to come. Sword One was the last guardian of the Testing Ground's Heavenly Palace, and the Nether Devil Clan was the guardian of the Heavenly Awakening Gate, one inside and one outside.
