165: Break through the scarlet magic circle, and the holy corpse appears!

The next day, Mo Fan arrived early at Mo Yingying's Immortal Cave, wanting to see her off.

Seeing Mo Fan, although Mo Yingying was happy in her heart, she still chided him, "Old Dad, I already told you that you don't need to come see me off."

"Let me see you off, it's not like I have anything else to do anyway." Mo Fan shook his head.

Mo Yingying didn't say anything more, hurriedly packing her luggage and putting everything she could use into her storage space.

After finishing, the two waited quietly.

Before long, Sect Head Gu Qingshan flew over.

Seeing Mo Fan and Mo Yingying standing side by side, Gu Qingshan was slightly surprised:

"I have to say, you two look somewhat alike; standing together, you look a bit like siblings..."

Hearing this, Mo Yingying almost couldn't hold back her laughter, turning her face away to secretly stick her tongue out playfully at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan's face turned black as ink.

Old man, what kind of look is that?

Siblings?

Siblings your face!

"Let's go, it's about time." Gu Qingshan didn't say more, turning and flying toward the outside of the academy, signaling Mo Fan and Mo Yingying to follow.

Mo Fan directly summoned his broad Flying Sword.

"Old... uh, Old Mo, give me a ride!"

Although one could fly directly after reaching the Heavenly Mandate, Mo Yingying found it troublesome, so she directly stepped onto Mo Fan's Flying Sword with a grin.

"Alright, stand steady." Mo Fan nodded, piloting the Flying Sword to follow Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan slowed down, turned his head to glance at the two, slightly surprised:

"You two siblings really have a good relationship, to go out of your way to see each other off."

He could also see that although Mo Fan and Mo Yingying looked close, it wasn't the closeness of a romantic relationship.

"Of course, I have the best relationship with Junior Brother, so of course he has to see me off." Mo Yingying held back her laughter.

Mo Fan: "..."

He felt that he shouldn't have come to see this guy off.

Gu Qingshan didn't think much of it, turning to look at Mo Fan and saying:

"I didn't expect that in the Field of Magic Array, your attainments seem to have already surpassed your Master. You are truly a hero among the youth."

Just like Liu Xiyan, he was also frightened by the speed at which Mo Fan broke the blood-colored array.

Fortunately, over so many years, the academy had also hoarded quite a few Spirit Stones.

Otherwise, if the promised rewards couldn't be paid, that would be too embarrassing.

Because according to the current trend, this guy might really be able to crack all the blood-colored array patterns within two months.

Such attainments in Magic Array had already surpassed Xu Chaomu by too much, making him the new leading figure.

Gu Qingshan sighed with emotion and continued: "In today's Blue Star, I'm afraid only those two Supreme experts who love studying Magic Array have attainments above yours."

Mo Fan smiled and said, "I've liked studying these since I was young; perhaps my talent is just better than others."

Gu Qingshan nodded: "Indeed, the path of Magic Array relies most on talent. Some people study it for a lifetime and can only comprehend two or three Formation Source Runes."

"Some people only need to take a few glances to comprehend the Profound Truth within, realizing several Formation Source Runes within a day."

Mo Fan smiled without speaking, knowing that this guy was talking about him.

When he was clearing the Trial Tower, he was asked by everyone how many Formation Source Runes he had comprehended.

His answer was: Several.

This answer scared everyone quite a bit.

Of course, he had actually comprehended one hundred that time.

Fearing it would be too shocking, he didn't dare to say it.

Focusing slightly, Mo Fan seemed to have thought of something and asked calmly:

"Sect Head, when will the Secret Realm open next?"

Mo Fan was still quite concerned about the Secret Realm.

After all, the Secret Realm was so big, and he had only explored the Hidden Sword Manor.

If he explored other places, he might also have gains.

At the very least, he definitely had to visit the place corresponding to the Legacy of Chixia Peak.

If he could have unexpected discoveries, his attainments in Magic Array and Field might also be greatly improved.

He still felt that the current progress was too slow.

Besides that, he also planned to go to the Military Camp to see what the situation was and if there would be a large amount of Spirit Stones or something.

If there were, he might really be able to save up ten million attribute points, add a point to the name column, and see what on earth would appear.

However, the Military Camp was too dangerous, so he had to think of a foolproof plan before approaching it.

Hearing Mo Fan's words, Gu Qingshan shook his head and said:

"The Secret Realm has had problems and needs to be temporarily closed; I'm afraid it won't be accessible for a while."

Hearing this, Mo Fan was slightly stunned, revealing a look of regret.

He had also guessed some of it.

The last time in the Secret Realm, there were heavy casualties, so the academy naturally had to take corresponding measures.

It was normal for it to be urgently closed.

Since he couldn't get in now, Mo Fan had no other way and could only look for other opportunities.

Before long, the three arrived at the Mountain Gate.

"Junior Brother, you go back; seeing me off here is enough." Mo Yingying waved her hand, acting all mature.

Mo Fan glared at her and said unhappily: "Pay attention to safety outside, don't try to be a hero, and remember to contact me if anything happens."

Mo Yingying smiled, deliberately putting on a straight face: "Got it, Junior Brother, you are so nagging; how come you are the same as my dad?"

Mo Fan: "...?!"

"I'm leaving, have a safe trip!"

"Alright!" Mo Yingying waved her hand hurriedly, a flash of reluctance in her eyes.

...

Bidding farewell to Mo Yingying, Mo Fan flew toward Hidden Sword Peak on his sword.

Passing by the Outer Sect, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and landed his sword.

Soon, he saw a familiar figure.

"Senior Brother Han?" Mo Fan was stunned; he didn't expect to meet Han Tang in the Outer Sect.

"Junior Brother Mo?" Looking at Mo Fan who came flying on his sword, Han Tang was equally stunned, somewhat unable to believe what he was seeing.

He felt that his own situation was already outrageous enough.

But he didn't expect Mo Fan to be even more outrageous!

In the blink of an eye, he had actually become an Inner Sect Disciple?

And looking at his surging cultivation aura, it seemed he had already entered the Transcendent Realm!

How long had it been since they last met?

"Hahaha, it really is Senior Brother Han. I knew Senior Brother Han had his own good fortune and wouldn't have any accidents!"

"Now it's good, not only did you return safely, but you were also promoted to an Outer Sect Disciple, the future is promising!" Mo Fan patted Han Tang's shoulder with a smile.

This person's fate was not ordinary; he might become a big shot in the future.

In reality, the current Han Tang had already begun to reveal his extraordinariness, and his cultivation had already reached the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Of course, perhaps to avoid appearing too prominent, the aura Han Tang revealed was only at the Peak of Innate Realm, temporarily hiding in the Outer Sect to develop silently.

"Junior Brother Mo, uh no, now I should call you Senior Brother Mo —"

"Don't worry about so much, you can still call me Junior Brother Mo, I'm used to it." Mo Fan said with a smile.

"Alright, then I'll still call you Junior Brother Mo!"

Han Tang was not pretentious, pulling Mo Fan to his residence to drink some small wine, and explained in detail what had happened to him in the past six months.

After listening, Mo Fan was filled with emotion.

This guy was definitely a protagonist template!

Even in a certain-death situation, he could reverse it, and he even gained a great Opportunity, obtaining the Legacy of Liu Jian, causing his cultivation to break through rapidly.

Finally, after saying enough, Mo Fan focused and said solemnly:

"If Senior Brother Han has time, go to the back mountain more often, whether it's the back mountain of the Menial Service Yard or the back mountain of the Outer Sect, go and walk around."

"If you see any small green bottles or something, you might as well pick them up and study them —"

Han Tang was stunned, a bit confused.

"If Senior Brother Han trusts me, just do as I say." Mo Fan said earnestly.

"Alright, I'll listen to Junior Brother Mo!" Han Tang nodded.

Although he didn't know what Mo Fan was talking about.

But he knew that listening to him was definitely the right thing to do!

Those Junior Brothers in the Menial Service Yard's Spirit Herb Garden, after listening to Mo Fan's advice, all began to take off.

Some of them left Yuxu Academy, and some still remained in Yuxu Academy, but all began to show their extraordinariness and might grow into giants in their own right in the future.

...

Bidding farewell to Han Tang.

Mo Fan was filled with emotion, feeling it was a bit surreal.

From Han Tang, he learned that those Junior Brothers in the Menial Service Yard had all started extraordinary encounters and might grow into big shots in the future.

"Sure enough, none of those with these names are simple."

Mo Fan shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and hurried to Hidden Sword Mountain.

On the way, he went to the Logistics Department to collect the Spirit Stone subsidy for this month that he hadn't collected yet, totaling two hundred pieces.

Afterward, he went to the Outer Sect's Scripture Hall to extract the Spirit Stones settled for this month.

After the market became saturated, the number of Inner Sect Disciples coming to exchange for the Innate Art and Vajra Fist teaching videos decreased.

This time, Mo Fan only extracted 3,600 Spirit Stones.

According to this trend, it would be even less next month, making it hard to even break one thousand.

Mo Fan felt that he could come again every half a year in the future.

It was a pity that there was still half a year until he could record new teaching videos.

Otherwise, if Mo Fan went to the Inner Sect to record a few new teaching videos, he might be able to make a lot of money.

Putting away the Spirit Stones, Mo Fan continued toward Hidden Sword Mountain.

"These few Spirit Stones can't convert into many attribute points, so I might as well keep them for backup; they might be useful in the future."

Having already possessed over two million attribute points, he did not choose to absorb these Spirit Stones, but instead stored them away.

He arrived at Hidden Sword Mountain.

He greeted Xu Jing.

Mo Fan went straight to the back mountain, preparing to continue cracking the blood-colored rune markings.

"You are a little late today," Liu Xiyan walked over with a smile on her face.

"I ran into an old acquaintance and chatted for a bit," Mo Fan said truthfully.

"I see." Liu Xiyan nodded without asking further. After watching Mo Fan crack the Magic Array for a while, she sat cross-legged to the side and began cultivating sword.

...

In the days that followed, Mo Fan temporarily gave up on comprehending the Field Origin Essence and concentrated all his time on comprehending the Formation Source Runes.

As a result, his speed at cracking the blood-colored rune markings improved slightly, allowing him to crack 60 a day.

Of course, the further he went, the more complex the blood-colored rune markings became. Mo Fan only managed to maintain this speed of 60 per day for a few days.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

Early in the morning, Mo Fan climbed out of bed feeling refreshed and quickly finished washing up.

Carefully reviewing the battle in his dream, Mo Fan grinned:

"Not bad, the Red-Clothed Female Ghost is no longer my match. It is time to upgrade!"

With a thought, Mo Fan opened his Virtual panel and directly added points to upgrade.

Boom!

Terrifying energy came from an unknown space, surging wildly into Mo Fan's body. It connected to his Qi Sea, leveraged his martial dao foundation embryo, prompted his body's hidden treasures to give birth to new extraordinary secret power, rapidly reconstructed his physique, and increased the cohesion of his Mental Energy.

The Transcendent transformation process is actually the process of unifying essence, energy, and spirit. It can significantly enhance life potential and realize a leap in the essence of life.

This month, Mo Fan had been cracking blood-colored rune markings day and night. He also took time to venture into the Trial Tower to comprehend Formation Source Runes, and at night, he was constantly chased and slashed by the ridiculously strong Red-Clothed Female Ghost.

Although such days were tiring, they also made his Mental Energy more condensed, and its quality improved significantly.

Consequently, when he broke through, his control over his body and Soul was higher, saving him quite a bit of time during the Breakthrough.

This time, Mo Fan only spent half an hour to break through.

"Hoo... refreshing!" Mo Fan clenched his fists, feeling that he had become much stronger.

After sensing the changes slightly, Mo Fan quickly scanned his attribute information and decided to add points once more.

The Transcendent Sixth Level to the Transcendent Seventh Level is a threshold that allows for a small leap in life essence and the development of various potentials.

Relatively speaking, the improvement from the Transcendent Seventh Level to the Transcendent Eighth Level is limited.

Mo Fan pondered for a moment and felt that upgrading to the Transcendent Eighth Level all at once seemed just right.

Within this range, the Red-Clothed Female Ghost would not strengthen too much.

This way, he could maintain a relatively full spirit, which would not affect his cracking of the array and comprehension of the Formation Source Runes.

While pondering, Mo Fan focused his spirit and tapped the plus sign after the cultivation column.

Whoosh, terrifying energy came again from an unknown space, surging wildly into his body.

This Breakthrough also only took half an hour.

Half an hour later, Mo Fan slowly opened his eyes.

He clenched his fists and sensed his own state, nodding in satisfaction.

"Not bad, it is about as I expected. Although there is an improvement, the improvement is limited."

Thinking this, he focused his gaze on the azure Virtual panel.

【Name: Mo Fan (+)】

【Cultivation: Transcendent Eighth Level (+)】

【...】 (Click to expand)

【Special Abilities: Alchemy (Small Accomplishment), Fist Intent (Perfection), Magic Array (Great Grandmaster), Field (Great Grandmaster)】

【Storage Space: Infinite】

【Available attribute points: 1.937 million】

His cultivation had successfully broken through to the Transcendent Eighth Level.

He was one step closer to Destiny.

It was a pity that after such a long time, the Magic Array and Field he had been researching remained at the Great Grandmaster level.

Mo Fan did not know if there were higher Realms beyond Great Grandmaster.

However, he knew that he still had a long way to go in terms of Magic Array and Field.

When he could use Magic Array and Field to trap and kill the Supreme, he would be ready to finish his apprenticeship.

Quickly scanning the Virtual panel, Mo Fan fixed his gaze on the available attribute points.

"What a sin, upgrading twice actually cost nearly a hundred thousand available attribute points—"

Mo Fan suddenly felt that two million attribute points were not that many after all.

Focusing slightly to calm his mood, Mo Fan looked out the window.

The sky was a bit dark, rain was pouring down, and there was thunder and lightning.

"It is raining again, I cannot practice the Golden Body Art facing the rising sun for a quarter of an hour." Mo Fan felt a bit regretful.

Practicing the Golden Body Art for a quarter of an hour when the sun first rises has particularly good effects, comparable to cultivating for over a dozen hours at other times.

The Golden Body Art is the foundation for strengthening the body, so Mo Fan naturally cared about it.

After tidying up a little, Mo Fan flew on his sword toward Hidden Sword Peak.

No matter how bad the weather was, the matter of cracking the blood-colored array could not stop.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another twenty days passed.

During this period, Mo Fan added points again, and his cultivation reached the Transcendent Ninth Level, just one step away from the Peak Transcendent.

After the Peak Transcendent, it is Destiny.

There is a saying that below Destiny, all are ants.

Only when one's cultivation breaks through to Destiny can one be called a high-end combatant.

Early in the morning, Mo Fan quickly climbed out of bed, and after washing up, he scanned his attribute information.

【Name: Mo Fan (+)】

【Cultivation: Transcendent Ninth Level (+)】

【...】 (Click to expand)

【Available attribute points: 1.843 million】

"attribute points are consumed really fast; it will likely be even more terrifying when I reach Destiny—"

Mo Fan shook his head, practiced the Golden Body Art for a quarter of an hour facing the rising sun, tidied up a bit, brought the breakfast he had prepared in advance, and then flew out on his sword, heading rapidly toward Hidden Sword Peak.

July 11th, Monday.

Suitable for: Sacrifices, tearing down houses, destroying walls; do not engage in other matters.

Taboo: Not suitable for anything.

This day marked two months since Mo Fan started cracking the Magic Array, and it was also the day for settling the Origin Stones.

Over the two months, the blood-colored array had been mostly cracked, and only ten core rune markings remained uncracked.

Mo Fan estimated that before noon today, he would be able to solve all ten of these blood-colored array markings, completely break the blood-colored array, and open the teleportation space.

Soon, Mo Fan arrived at Hidden Sword Peak.

After greeting Chu Qian and Xu Jing and giving each of them a portion of breakfast, Mo Fan came to the back mountain of Hidden Sword Peak.

Liu Xiyan walked over and smiled slightly:

"There are only the last ten blood-colored rune markings left. How about I pay you the Origin Stones all at once after you have cracked them all?"

"That works too, saves the trouble." Mo Fan nodded in agreement and set to work on cracking the last ten blood-colored rune markings.

After using double the time to comprehend the Field Origin Essence, Mo Fan had comprehended a total of 800 new Formation Source Runes this month.

Thus, the number of Formation Source Runes he had comprehended reached a total of 2,000.

Thanks to this, although the blood-colored array became more complex the further he went, Mo Fan's cracking speed still managed to keep up.

Taking a deep breath, Mo Fan focused and entered his state, setting up seven manifestation rune markings at the fastest speed.

Once the blood-colored rune markings appeared, he began to crack the array.

In a flash, several hours passed.

Mo Fan held his breath, using the Formation Source Runes he had comprehended to slowly dismantle the last blood-colored rune marking, causing it to slowly dissipate.

This process could not have any mistakes; otherwise, it might trigger the blood-colored array.

At the very end, with just that last bit left, even Mo Fan felt a little nervous.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

More than forty minutes later, with a 'pop' sound, the last blood-colored rune marking bloomed like a flower, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating into the world.

At the same time, the flickering blood-colored array lost its traction and also quickly vanished, slowly disappearing into the world.

With this, the blood-colored array was completely broken.

At the same time, a small teleportation array glowing with milky white light slowly emerged.

"It is broken; the blood-colored array has been cracked." At this moment, there was no excitement on Mo Fan's face, only relief and the feeling of letting out a breath.

Hearing the sound, Liu Xiyan flashed over immediately.

"It is cracked?"

Until this moment, she still felt it was somewhat unreal.

In just two months, the blood-colored array that even Xu Chaomu was helpless against had actually been cracked by Mo Fan?

Also, what was on the other side of the teleportation array?

What exactly was the so-called "saint corpse"?
