Chapter 2553: Layout
onished, his mouth agape.Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!However, Lu Xia Tian quickly reacted with joy. No matter what, the terrible ice-blue flame of Flying Heaven Silver Corpse...Ming'e and Mingyi parted ways, Lu XiaTian skillfully led Luo Quan and the others to the location of the Nine Queues Heavenly Shade Ghost Formation, allowing Luo Quan and Qingli to experience up close the wonder of this formation's core.
As for this rumored Ghostly Dao Grand Formation, both Luo Qian and Qing Li were like they had struck gold. They feared missing even the slightest detail. Such a Ghostly Dao Grand Formation usually only existed in truyn承s. Close contact, even just a subtle feeling, was incredibly beneficial to both Luo Qian and Qing Li.
If it weren't for Lu Xiaoteng, Luo Qian, or Qingli, it would be difficult to know the general location of this formation, let alone enter it.
Besides the Xuan Gui Qi harvested from refining the Nine Cauldrons Lock, when Lu Xiaotian killed the White-Eyed Ape King, the abundant Xuan Gui Qi obtained by the Three Sided Corpse Monkey was naturally given to Luo Qian and Qing Li. Luo Qian also kept a portion for Su Qing. According to Luo Qian, Su Qing was at a crucial stage in cultivating her new Ghost Dao Divine Ability and couldn't go out. Naturally, some things could only be passed to Su Qing through Luo Qian.
This formation requires a large amount of ghost dao artifacts, and also nine-lock chains. The nine-lock chains are refined using the ghostly aura of corpses, and Luo Qian and Qing Li have each refined a wisp of this ghostly aura, so they naturally have an affinity for these chains.
Over these seventy years, Lu Xia Tian secretly contacted Ban Qian Zhi. Ban Qian Zhi only knew that Lu Xia Tian was currently planning a major event. He continued to practice in the Ming Qi lair on his own. He hadn't had the Blue Yu Yao bottle for long, and there was still a lot of potential to be discovered. It was even comparable to the artifacts of old monsters like Mei Ying Xie Wang and Si Yi Tang Lang.
...Ban Qian Zhi's attention to Lan Yu Yao's bottles is well-deserved.
Ban Qianzhi had something to do, and the Shadow Scorpion King was bored out of his mind in Mingqi's lair. He waited and waited for Lu Xia Tian to return but there was no sign of him. Calculating the time, adding the seventeen years Lu Xia Tian spent in the land of souls, almost ninety years had passed, far exceeding the deadline given by the Demon Lord. The Shadow Scorpion King hated Lu Xia Tian so much his teeth itched. Whether he was dead or alive, he should at least send a message. This delay for such a long time, with no clues, even if he went back it would be difficult to explain to the Demon Lord.
The Phantom Scorpion King was enraged. He regretted listening to Lu Xiaitian's advice and staying in this Green-Bone Snake's lair. He had wasted a lot of time.
"Friend Ban, it seems like Daoist Lu won't be coming back. After such a long time, there hasn't been even a sound from him. I think we should go out and search for clues ourselves." The Shadow Scorpion King said to Ban Qianzhi.
"I received Lu Daoyou's order that I must wait for him to return. Until there is a definite message, I have to stay here." Ban Qianzhi shook his head and directly refused the Shadow Scorpion King.

“It seems only Lu Daoyou can command you. However, don't forget that Lu Daoyou is not here now. If something dangerous really happens, Ban Daoyou wonders who could save you” The Shadow Scorpion King’s words were laced with a threat.

“My life was saved by Lu Daoist. I would have been finished in the Sea of Demons. Living to this day is already a gain. If Scorpion King wants to make a move, he may as well do it. But what if he encounters Lu Daoist outside Do you think Lu Daoist will believe your explanation, or do you have the ability to deal with Lu Daoist” Ban Qianzhi retorted sarcastically.
"You..." The Shadow Scorpion King came to a halt before Ban Qianzhi, inwardly marveling at how audacious Lu Xiaotien was. He even dared to make Ban Qianzhi, who had been by his side for so long, become this bold. The Shadow Scorpion King didn't know that Ban Qianzhi's boldness stemmed from knowing that Lu Xiaotien had always been lurking nearby, merely avoiding him as an outsider.
“It seems that Daoist Bàn is determined not to leave with me. Well, I hope that one day when the Demon Lord comes to blame, Daoist Bàn can still remain so calm.” The Shadow Scorpion King chuckled coldly.
“The Demon Lord assigned the mission to you, I have nothing to do with it. I only listen to Lu Daoyou,” Ban Qianzhi rolled his eyes. Before he got the Lan Yu Yao bottle, his combat power was not even worth mentioning to the Demon Lord, let alone the Shadow Scorpion King. It was only after obtaining the Blue Jade Demon Bottle that he had a qualitative improvement, and in many cases, he could already play a significant role. Only then did the Shadow Scorpion King look at him with different eyes.”
The Shadow Scorpion King was struck in the heart by those words, feeling as if he had swallowed a fly. He snorted coldly and left Mingqi's lair with a darkened face.
Then, Ban Qian stood there, continuing to cultivate on his own.
At this time, at the core of the Nine Que Heavens Yin Xuan Ghost Array, Lu Xia Tian had a palm-sized copper mirror floating in front of him. This copper mirror seemed to be covered with a thin layer of fine dust, making it appear extremely rough.
Lu Xiaoxiao's left palm was facing upward, with a black three-inch short sword on it. The aura of the sword was exactly like that of the Swallowing Abyss Sword. It resembled the Swallowing Abyss Sword wielded by Ye Qianxin's lotus incarnation back then, except it was far less powerful than the Swallowing Abyss Sword at that time, but its aura was unmistakable.
The three-inch sword in his hand slowly flew into the bronze mirror, merging with it. The bronze mirror suddenly burst into brilliance, and black qi gathered around it. This process lasted for more than ten days before a shape resembling the Swallowing Abyss Sword formed in the middle of the mirror.

Looking at the Swallowing Abyss Sword in the bronze mirror, Lu Xiaotian's divine sense entered the mirror. Along the mirror, it seemed to extend outwards indefinitely. Inside this bronze mirror, besides the black of the Swallowing Abyss Sword, everything else was white. His divine sense could spread far and wide, how far exactly, Lu Xiaotian couldn't fathom. The only thing he could be sure of was that it hadn't yet exceeded the range of the Netherworld.
However, compared to Lu Xia Tian himself using his divine sense to directly perceive the situation in this soul-binding land, it was more than a hundred times stronger.
Months later, Lu Xia Tian's lotus avatar and Ban Qianzhi appeared at the edge of the Nether Demon Corpse Ground.
“With your current abilities, as long as you are careful, you shouldn't encounter too much danger. On the way to the chaotic demon realm, someone will inevitably inquire about my whereabouts. You don't have to take action yourself, just spread the word about me being in the underworld cemetery. Also, this relic of shadow, give it to whoever is interested at the right time.” Lu Xia Tian’s lotus avatar said, “After you’ve done all that, go to the chaotic demon realm and wait for me.”
Lu Xia Tian told Ban Qian Zhi about some of his experiences in the chaotic Demon Domain back then.
"Lu Daoyou, you must be more careful yourself." Banqianzhi said.
"The Demon Lord implanted a restriction on me, and there are other enemies after me as well. I still need some time to break free. Once I return to the chaotic demon realm, most of the trouble will be cleared up," Lu Xia Tian said.
Ban Qianzhi nodded, and with a flash of light, she disappeared with the keepsake orb that Lu Xiaoxiao had given her. As a demon creature, having stayed in the Demonic Corpse Ground for so long, Ban Qianzhi was no longer used to it.
Ban Qianzhi's departure this time, who knows how many years it will take. Lu Xiaoteng shook his head. He also wanted to personally arrange this matter, but the place of sinking souls was crucial. Lu Xiaoteng couldn't easily withdraw, and he wouldn't trust others with it either.
Haste makes waste. Back then, Ye Qianxun waited for thousands of years to cultivate the ethereal sword fetus within herself and Yu Xia Qiao. Now, to deal with Ye Qianxun’s true self, Lu Xiaoteng has laid out a plan for just a hundred years. Compared to this, the effort is not much.red youth. A group of over thirty people once again marched towards the silver-haired youth.It was just that ten or so warriors from the Wu clan showed fear on their faces, intentionally falling behin...
