A lively girl's voice rang in Qi Yan's mind. If he didn't know that the other person was Qinglong, he would have thought it was someone's little sister.
"Qiyan, right? My name is Qing Shu. Stop dawdling and come over here quickly. Those evil cultivators can even restrict my abilities. If you're late, something terrible might happen to the cultivation world." Qing Shu continued.
She had been constantly assessing the severity of the situation and considering whether to contact the other five divine beasts.
It seems like overkill to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut just to summon the other five divine beasts for a few evil cultivators.
Moreover, the Five Divine Beasts also have their pride. If she can't even deal with a few evil cultivators, how will she survive among the Five Divine Beasts in the future?
Of course, she wasn't the kind of person who was obsessed with saving face and disregarded the bigger picture.
She held on for now, thinking that if those evil cultivators attacked her and she couldn't hold on any longer, she would contact the other five divine beasts.
But those evil cultivators seemed to have taken the wrong medicine; they just kept letting her chase them without attacking her, a behavior that left her completely baffled.
She could still manage on her own, so she decided to keep going like this for now, thinking that exhausting those evil cultivators to death wouldn't be a bad idea either, and thus she gave up the idea of contacting the other five divine beasts.
But since Qiyan has taken the initiative to come to her, she might as well take advantage of it.
“They are not evil cultivators,” Qi Yan explained.
"Not evil cultivators?" Qing Shu's voice was somewhat shocked, but she quickly realized, "Them? You know about my situation?"
A sense of unease immediately arose in his mind. "You're not one of those evil cultivators in disguise, are you? Are you in cahoots with them?"
She had seen the other five divine beasts a few times, but she seemed to have never seen the Qilin before, and she was not familiar with Qiyan's voice.
He then overturned his own conjecture, muttering to himself, "That's not right. This is indeed a special way of sensing between the five divine beasts. The other side is indeed the five divine beasts."
"I am not an evil cultivator, but I am indeed with them. Stop chasing them and let me explain."
"This was the work of evil cultivators. The scene in front of you is not real, and they are not evil cultivators."
"Ten thousand years ago, evil cultivators used the occupation of the cultivation world as a cover to begin their conspiracy, which was only discovered some time ago."
Qi Yan recounted to Qing Shu the evil cultivators' conspiracy to break the formation.
But Qing Shu's eyes were full of confusion. "Wait, wait, why don't I know about that great chaos back then?"
From her perspective, ever since she warned the evil cultivators, they have disappeared from the cultivation world, and the cultivation world has been incredibly peaceful for ten thousand years.
Qi Yan was also stunned; he knew about that great chaos.
Although the evil cultivators went to great lengths to erase the traces of that great chaos and the memories of others, they were still not capable of altering the memories of the Five Divine Beasts.
"Wait a moment." Qi Yan immediately informed Shen Sangruo.
The sound disappeared for a while, then reappeared.
“We speculate that the space you are in may not be a real cultivation world at all, but a cultivation world fabricated by evil cultivators,” Qi Yan said.
Qing Shu was utterly shocked. "You mean, for the past ten thousand years, I've been living in a fake cultivation world? All the scenes I've seen were created by evil cultivators?"
She thought about it carefully, but couldn't find anything wrong at all, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
"Yes, to mislead you, to make you believe that the cultivation world has always been peaceful, is also a way to trap you, or even to make you the core of the formation, in order to get rid of you."
Even if we can't get rid of Qing Shu, we can at least severely injure her and trap her in the fake space forever.
As long as Qing Shu cannot play a role, the evil cultivator's goal will be achieved.
“Those ‘evil cultivators’ you mentioned were the ones who entered the barrier to break the formation. That’s why they stopped attacking you after they discovered that the Azure Dragon’s incarnation was indeed related to you.”
"Let me sort this out first." Qing Shu was stunned when she suddenly heard that she had spent tens of thousands of years in a fake world and needed to process it.
She was completely unaware of when she fell into the evil cultivator's trap.
At this moment, Qing Shu stopped and ceased manipulating her avatar to attack Chen Sangruo and the others.
Song Weiyan and the others in the palace were surprised and delighted when they saw the Azure Dragon incarnation behind them stop.
"It stopped?"
"It's finally stopped!"
After running day and night for more than twenty days, they can finally rest! Waaah!
Although one can take elixirs to clear physical fatigue, mental fatigue can never be eliminated; it is commonly known as "mental exhaustion."
"Junior Sister, has Young Master Qiyan contacted the Azure Dragon?" Bai Ruoan raised her hand and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Apart from Shen Sangruo, Bai Ruoan and the others usually treated Qi Yan with great respect.
"Yes." Shen Sanruo withdrew her power, fell from the sky, and landed lightly.
Ye Huai also leaped off the Shadow Sword and landed steadily, the Shadow Sword automatically retracting into its sheath.
"Qiyan has explained the situation to Qinglong. Qinglong must have been tricked by the evil cultivators before the chaos, and was led into another space by them." She shared the information with everyone, her eyes flashing with an ambiguous light.
"Since the evil cultivators did not have the ability to kill the five divine beasts, they came up with this method to trap the Azure Dragon in the space they created."
Su Xiyu pondered and said, "But to create such a realistic space, allowing the Azure Dragon to remain inside for ten thousand years without noticing, those evil cultivators are truly remarkable."
The entire cultivation world is so vast, yet those evil cultivators were able to forge it; how terrifying!
The problem of being hunted by the Azure Dragon has been solved, but there are still more important things to solve.
"So what do we do now? Those evil cultivators are using the Azure Dragon as the core of the formation. If we want to destroy the core, we have to make the Azure Dragon disappear." Lin Qianyin frowned slightly, her expression grim.
The others also looked troubled.
"Don't worry, this is not difficult." A smile spread across Shen Sanruo's eyes.
What seemed like a difficult problem before turned out to be the easiest to solve after contacting Qinglong.
"What is being used as the core of the formation is merely an incarnation of the Azure Dragon, not the real Azure Dragon. All we need to do is have the Azure Dragon remove its incarnation."
The real Azure Dragon has already been lured to another dimension by the evil cultivators, so how could they still use it as the core of the formation?
It must have been through some method that the Azure Dragon's avatar was projected into the cultivation world; the Azure Dragon's avatar appeared somewhat transparent.
Then bind the Azure Dragon incarnation to the real Azure Dragon, so that the Azure Dragon incarnation can damage the real Azure Dragon.
"I have already spoken to Qiyan about this matter, and he will inform Qinglong."
In Shen Sangruo's view, the array's core was not the most difficult problem to solve; rather, the real challenge was how to rescue the Azure Dragon from the fabricated space.
As soon as she finished speaking, the azure dragon incarnation in front of everyone turned into starlight and disappeared, and the room returned to its normal size.
The crowd cheered, "The array's core has disappeared! The array has been broken!"
