Drained the cup of clear tea in one gulp, Wan Tinggui finally relaxed, moistening his somewhat dry throat.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi both had a look of sudden realization, understanding a matter that had troubled them for a long time.

It turned out that during the First Epoch, the Four Spirits perished in the war with the Abyss, and their authority was intercepted by the Abyss using extraordinary means. It did not return to the heavens and earth, thus new Four Spirits could not be born.

In the Second Epoch, the Abyss used the authority of the Four Spirits as the core to recreate the Four Spirits belonging to the world of the Abyss to fight for it, and they perished again in the end.

It was not until the Third Epoch that the Abyss created the Devouring Spirit Sect undercover in the Mystical Mechanism Continent to provide them with a trump card. Only then did they hand over the authority of the Four Spirits to the Devouring Spirit Sect, allowing them to find suitable cultivators to inherit it.

The authority of the Four Spirits itself does not have a distinction of good and evil; it is simply an authority. As long as one possesses the qualification to inherit, whether they are Abyss Cultivators or cultivators from the Mystical Mechanism Continent, they can become the Envoys of the Four Spirits.

Thus, even the Abyss can only restrict the cultivators who inherit the authority, and cannot set restrictions on the authority itself.

"After the Azure Dragon Envoy perished at the Complete Heaven Sect, the Devouring Spirit Sect also sent people to infiltrate and find the fragments of the authority, but they failed due to the presence of Abnormal People," said Wan Tinggui after pouring himself another cup of hot tea.

"If the authority was not retained by the Complete Heaven Sect, it should have returned to the heavens and earth, and looking at the current situation, it should not be long before the Azure Dragon is reborn."

"Well... that should be the case."

Liang Yi was rather familiar with Senior Fang Zhi. The Complete Heaven Sect follows the philosophy of complying with the natural order, naturally, they would not covet objects of the heavens and earth for personal gain, unlike Senior Wan Wan of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect.

"It has already returned to the heavens and earth, I can sense it meow," said Old Master Orange leisurely enjoying the breeze, flipping its tail suddenly. No one had more authority to speak on this matter than him.

"What about the Azure Dragon? When will it be reborn?"

Liang Yi

"Right now, I also want to eliminate the White Tiger Envoy to further weaken the strength of the Devouring Spirit Sect. As for whether the authority of the White Tiger is retained or returned to the heavens and earth, I don't care," Wan Tinggui said, spreading hands towards Liang Yi and Su Youyi, indicating his disinterest in the White Tiger's authority.

"Even if the White Tiger Envoy has fallen to the mid-stage of the Eighth Realm, isn't it still not something easy for us to handle?"

Liang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. He couldn't believe that Wan Tinggui hadn't thought of this issue. None of the Four Spirits Envoys were pushovers, each formidable in their own right.

The Azure Dragon Envoy was a man daring enough to directly attack the main stronghold of the Complete Heaven Sect and was only conclusively killed by Senior Fang Zhi using a chaotic hammering and pulling down celestial stars to take advantage of time, place, and harmony of people. If it were anywhere else for a fair fight, even if the Azure Dragon Envoy couldn't defeat Senior Fang Zhi, he would likely be able to escape at a cost.

The Black Tortoise Envoy, with his innate Turtle Shell BUFF in Qingliang City, could withstand the sword of their master Chen Hua Tianyun at the Seventh Realm without getting hurt, which was enough to show how tough his shell really was.

Not to mention the Vermilion Bird Envoy, Zhou Yuqing, who, after incarnating with the Vermilion Bird Spirit, is growing stronger day by day. Possessing the Vermilion Bird's Sacred Fire, she is almost immortal.

The White Tiger Envoy, the youngest among the Four Spirits Envoys, had the highest talent and the strongest killing power. He was the first to reach the Great Perfection of the Eighth Realm. Every time he appeared, he brought Liang Yi a life-and-death crisis, even Zhou Yuqing did not want to confront him directly.

If Liang Yi and Su Youyi were at the early stage of the Eighth Realm instead of the early Seventh Realm, then it wouldn't be a problem. But now, the three of them were all at the early stage of the Seventh Realm. Even though the White Tiger Envoy is currently in a weakened state, trying to kill him would be ridiculously difficult.

"Of course, I wouldn't go without any preparation," Wan Tinggui gave Liang Yi a glance, how could she rashly try to kill a Four Spirits Envoy in the mid-stage of the Eighth Realm without any preparation?

"But it's fortunate it's the White Tiger Envoy, swapping for any other Spirit, even at the beginning of the Eighth Realm, it would still be difficult to manage."

Wan Tinggui inserted her Divine Sense into her storage ring, rummaging around to find her ace.

Su Youyi actually nodded in agreement, Wan Tinggui's words resonated true.

"Why do you say that?"

Yue Bai looked embarrassed as if she was the only one not understanding.

"The Azure Dragon Envoy alone could escape with unparalleled speed, and if really overwhelmed, he might still flee. The Black Tortoise Envoy requires painstaking efforts to even deplete his vitality by letting us attack him directly. If it were the Vermilion Bird Envoy, without special means, she could resurrect through the Vermilion Bird's Sacred Fire even if killed."

Yue Bai had only seen the White Tiger Envoy and the Vermilion Bird Envoy, unaware of the Azure Dragon Envoy and Black Tortoise Envoy, hence Su Youyi had to explain it this way.

"Exactly! While the White Tiger Envoy has extremely strong offensive power, correspondingly, his defensive ability is slightly weaker, plus he is currently in a weakened state due to being backfired by murderous and resentful energies, this gave me a chance to make a move."

After searching for a long time, Wan Tinggui finally slowly pulled out an ancient, corroded Array Plate from the ring.

"What is this?"

Liang Yi and others focused on the Array Plate, recognizing it as some kind of Great Formation, but what exactly it was remained unclear.

"It seems to be a lost Great Formation..."

In terms of Arrays, Yue Bai actually knew a little more than Liang Yi and Su Youyi, but also limitedly.

Judging from the runes engraved on the Array Plate, they were not inferior to the Array lines popular in the current era, likely some kind of relic Array Plate.

"That's right, the Blood Purifying Heart Formation is indeed a lost Great Formation," Wan Tinggui somewhat proudly tossed the Array Plate in her hand.

Mr. Ju heard the name and slightly opened his eyes to glance at the Array Plate in Wan Tinggui's hands, recognizing the array and guessing what Wan Tinggui's intentions were.

"What's the use of this array?"

Liang Yi looked curiously at the worn Array Plate in Wan Tinggui's hands, for he had a feeling that this array did not seem to be one that restricts cultivators, but rather it appeared to be a beneficial array that aids cultivators in their cultivation.

"The Blood Purification Heart Calming Array is an ancient formation from the Blood Purification Sect, specifically used to purify the killing intent and resentment that loses control and backlashes within oneself."

Wan Tinggui placed the Array Plate on the table and said with a smile.

"Moreover, the most miraculous aspect of this array is that its purification ability does not affect cultivators who practice the Slaughter Dao."

"Then with this array, couldn't everyone practice the Slaughter Dao?"

Su Youyi's eyes widened, unable to imagine the number of cultivators who might choose to walk the path of slaughter if such an array were to reappear in the world.

After all, nowadays, very few people cultivate the Slaughter Dao, not only because it is forbidden and suppressed by all powers, but also because the risks involved are simply too great.

And once those risks are absent, certainly many cultivators would risk pursuing power by choosing this path.

Liang Yi also thought of this, wondering if a morally dark and limitless killer chose the path of slaughter, and got hold of this array, wouldn't their leveling speed surpass that of gamers?

"The effect is indeed so, but a cultivator can only use this array once in their lifetime, trying to use this as a foundation is simply a fool's dream."

Wan Tinggui shook his head, as the resentment and killing intent accumulating too much could backlash against the cultivator, which is a universal law, and cannot simply be defied by an array.

"This array can only work within a limited range to help cultivators sort out the backlashing power when it goes out of control."

"Well, that's somewhat relieving..."

Hearing the array's significant limitations, Liang Yi and Su Youyi nodded in agreement, feeling that this made sense.

If it had unlimited use, the ancient Blood Purification Sect wouldn't have fallen into obscurity.

"So you want to use this as bait?"

Liang Yi pointed at the Array Plate on the table and asked Wan Tinggui, as this array was indeed crucial for the current situation of the White Tiger Envoy.

Given the circumstances of the White Tiger Envoy, he only needed an opportunity to completely resolve the backlashing threat within him.

"Yes, I will find someone to slightly modify this array, and once the White Tiger uses it, he will be out of luck."

Wan Tinggui retracted the Array Plate, a smile hanging on his lips and a sly gleam flickering in his eyes.

"So after the modification, to what extent will his strength decrease?"

To be on the safe side, Liang Yi asked further.

After all, his Junior Sister had already lost her Blood Spirit, and although there were other life-saving items given by the Master and Senior Fang Zhi, it's best to avoid using them if possible.

"Um... My plan is to completely detonate the killing intent and resentment in his body, as for how effective that will be..."

Wan Tinggui tilted his head, pondered in a low hum for a while before looking at Liang Yi.

"At the very least, he will fall to the early stages of the Eighth Realm, and be severely injured. Don't worry! If it's not feasible, you all just leave."

Hearing Wan Tinggui say this, Liang Yi truly began to consider this matter.

After all, the White Tiger Envoy was their sworn enemy, and it would be best to deal with him.

"How long do we need to prepare?"

At this moment, Yue Bai, who had been silently listening, suddenly asked.

"About a week to set up, why?"

Wan Tinggui estimated the specific timing and responded.

"If I advance to the Seventh Realm, could I join you?" Yue Bai asked earnestly.

Through this journey to the Secret Realm, she realized she had nearly found the opportunity to break into the Seventh Realm, and one week of secluded cultivation would be sufficient for her to try stepping into the Seventh Realm.

"That would be better than expected."

Wan Tinggui appraised this rumored disciple of the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, having heard that this child's race was the Qingqiu Nine-tails which had long been extinct from history.

If such a character were to join, the success rate would naturally increase significantly.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi exchanged glances, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

They didn't really want to put too much pressure on Yue Bai or have her participate in this dangerous matter.

But seeing Yue Bai's determined gaze, they really couldn't easily refuse.
