Since Tao Hengtian wouldn’t deceive him, it must be that he hadn’t found the trick yet.
Ye Jun Tian’s pupils flickered as he looked through the bloodstone. However, he was quite disappointed. Apart from sensing a large amount of high-quality blood qi within the bloodstone, he didn’t discover anything else.
Where is the trick?
At this moment, the blood qi vibrated. The blood qi surrounding the stone strangely coalesced into Tao Hengtian’s figure.
The figure was entirely formed by blood qi, but it was like a shadow, definitely not a physical entity.
"Kid, if you can’t find the way in, then scram. Going in means certain death, it’s not worth it." Tao Hengtian’s voice came through the vibration of the blood qi. His voice was full of arrogance and disdain.
Ye Jun Tian had also heard his elder brother Zhang Daolin mention this technique. It seemed that experts could store the messages they wanted to convey by vibrating the blood qi.
Later, if you triggered the vibration of the blood qi, their voices would be transmitted. Moreover, the ‘thoughts’ stored by experts were quite numerous and could engage in some simple dialogue with you.
Furthermore, they could provide some simple responses based on the meaning of your words. This was somewhat similar to the principles of modern smart robots. Information was the blood qi, and vibration was the activation mechanism.
Of course, to create such a high-end setup, one had to be an expert like Tao Hengtian. Because the blood qi in vibration had to contain blood essence to convey meaning.
Those below the Tianwu Realm did not contain blood essence, so they couldn’t create such a high-end blood qi setup. Even Zhang Daolin, who had just entered the Tianwu ‘Shigou’ Realm, couldn’t do it.
"Isn’t it just three doors?"
Ye Jun Tian suddenly realized that he had vaguely sensed three doors in the Peach Array before, which were the ‘Xiumen,’ ‘Shengmen,’ and ‘Shangmen.’
Xiumen was relatively relaxed, Shengmen was full of vitality, and Shangmen was related to a destructive magnetic field.
"You’ve told me this before, but back then you were talking nonstop. Talking is one thing, but understanding it is another. I, Tao Hengtian, spent decades immersed in it before I grasped a bit of the essence. Kid, saying you can understand my Peach Array is absolutely impossible." Tao Hengtian actually chuckled, and his expression suddenly made Ye Jun Tian feel as if he had swallowed a dead fly. This didn’t seem like his usual style.
"Then, were your previous promises just a bluff? Because you knew I couldn’t open the three doors at all? I didn’t expect the great Gun King to resort to deceit, truly disappointing." Ye Jun Tian was somewhat angry and asked.
"What you say is partly true, but not entirely. If you have the ability to solve it, it wouldn’t be a bluff.
So, I, Tao Hengtian, haven’t broken my promise, right? It’s just that you’re not up to the task. Who’s to blame?
Also, you’re being too hasty. If you come back to explore after reaching the Diwu Realm, your chances would be much greater.
Trying to explore my Peach Array with your current Pulse Movement Realm is like a fool’s dream.
You’re underestimating the array master Wu Henshui. His array is no joke, right? You say I’m bluffing, but where exactly am I bluffing? It’s all because you lack the ability, who’s to blame?" Tao Hengtian’s expression even blinked his eyes.
"Looks like I really fell for it. You, Tao Hengtian, always boast about keeping your word, but seeing is believing. I even suspect that the Three Stunning Shots might also be a trick." Ye Jun Tian sneered.
"Rubbish, the Three Stunning Shots are absolutely my masterpiece. And I’ve passed them on to you without reservation.
Of course, for you to understand the profound aspects, I, Tao Hengtian, might as well smash my head against a tofu block.
That is my masterpiece when my essence, energy, and spirit were at the peak of martial arts. Kid, you’re too weak, too weak.
In front of me, you’re just a grasshopper. Think about it, how can a weak grasshopper understand the masterpiece of a peak Tianwu expert?
As for being deceived, it’s not a deception. It’s still the same, because you lack the ability.
And I want to tell you, there are some good things in my Peach Array. If you have the ability, take them. If you don’t, barking here is useless." Tao Hengtian sneered again.
"Didn’t you also pass through the Pulse Movement Realm?" Ye Jun Tian snorted.
"Ha ha, that was decades ago. I’m strong now, you’re weak.
I’m strong, so I’m the master, and you have to submit! Who made you so weak.
Alright, no more talk, my blood essence is exhausted. Get out of here early, dying inside isn’t worth it.
Of course, you can’t die inside even if you want to. Because you can’t find the way in.
I actually hope you die inside, that way you can be fertilizer for my Peach Array." Tao Hengtian’s blood qi figure gradually dissipated after another sneer.
"Tao Hengtian, you old scoundrel. I, Ye Jun Tian, won’t let this go!" Ye Jun Tian roared to the sky, so angry that he swallowed a second-grade blood replenishing pill. These were all exchanged by his father for the hearts, skins, and other parts of the birds and beasts Ye Jun Tian had hunted in the Fire Cloud Forest.
A surging medicinal force transformed into blood qi, rolling and impacting Ye Jun Tian’s entire meridian system. The powerful blood qi, mixed with yellow fetal qi particles, continuously rushed into the bloodstone.
Three doors.
Xiumen, Shengmen, Shangmen.
Xiumen, characterized by activity. Shengmen, symbolizing vitality, endless life. Shangmen, possessing a destructive magnetic field.
The ‘Fetal Breath Great Technique’ he cultivated had an extremely strong healing power. This was the symbol of life. The ice and fire attributes possessed terrifying destructive power. Unconsciously, Ye Jun Tian entered a deep meditative state.
His consciousness wandered in meditation, and he didn’t know how long had passed. In his consciousness, three doors appeared.
The first door had something jumping on it. The second door was a vibrant green. The third door had many circular patterns.
Ye Jun Tian understood that the jumping thing on the first door represented the relatively relaxed ‘Xiumen.’
The second door being green symbolized life, endless life.
The circular patterns on the third door represented a destructive magnetic field, as magnetic field lines were circular. This was similar to the ‘motor theory’ of qi circulation he had meditated on in his stomach’s black hole.
At this moment, an angry tiger roar startled Ye Jun Tian out of his meditation. Looking up, he saw that his White Tiger’s fur was standing on end due to the surging blood qi, as if it had put on a hedgehog armor.
The White Tiger’s blood consciousness hovered above its head, and its paws were spread, ready to attack at any moment.
Following the direction of the White Tiger’s stance, Ye Jun Tian was instantly alarmed. He saw that the 90th assassin from the Kuaityi Hall, Chen Qing, was standing on a branch as thin as a little finger, looking at him with a fierce expression.
Judging by the aura, the branches as thick as Cheng Er’s arm were swaying left and right under the pressure of the blood qi. This guy seemed much stronger than before. Previously, he was at the third rank of the Diwu Realm, but now he had likely broken through to the fourth rank of the Diwu Realm.
This was trouble. The only way out today was to rush into the Peach Array. Ye Jun Tian noticed that the blood qi surrounding the bloodstone had coalesced into three vague doors.
However, according to the Gun King’s instructions, the doors were not clear enough. Only when the doors on the bloodstone clearly pointed the way could one enter the Peach Array.
He needed to buy some time.
"Kid, the humiliation you brought me, Chen Qing, is a pain I’ve carried all my life. But from today, this pain will end. However, I won’t let you die easily. I will torture you severely, I will make you ‘suffer’ greatly, I will make your life worse than death. I will return every bit of the humiliation they inflicted on me to you." Chen Qing gritted his teeth, his anger evident.
