Rebirth in the Underworld

As Patriarch Zi Ming finished speaking, everyone's eyes instantly fell on Shi Jiu, who was standing at the edge.

Shi Jiu was stunned at first, then nodded slightly.

"What? This kid can actually sense the Seventy-two Earthly Branches Primordial Confinement Array?" Elder Zisong, who was standing next to Shi Jiu, said in surprise.

You know, neither he nor the Great Elder could sense the existence of the Seventy-two Earthly Branches Hunyuan Confinement Array, but Shi Jiucai, with his cultivation level at the Soul Realm, could actually sense it. This really made it embarrassing for this Venerable-level strong man.

"It's like this. I didn't sense it myself, but the Yin-Yang Bagua Talisman sensed it and then passed it on to me." Shi Jiu then explained.

"So that's how it is! I was wondering, even I couldn't sense it, how could you sense it?" Elder Zisong breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face suddenly relaxed a lot.

After hearing this, the others nodded one after another.

Obviously, they didn't think Shi Jiu could sense the existence of the 72 Earthly Branches Primordial Array by himself. After all, the 72 Earthly Branches Primordial Array was set up by the Purple Nether Patriarch himself. How could a small cultivator in the Soul Realm sense the super array set up by a super great figure who once stood at the top of the Netherworld and many other great realms?

Seeing that other people no longer focused their attention on him, Shi Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at a certain place on the left side of the front intentionally or unintentionally. Although that place was still a vast grassland, in his consciousness, that place was a little different.

Actually, Shi Jiu didn't tell the whole truth just now. The Yin-Yang Bagua Talisman did give him a feeling, but it didn't come from the 72 Earthly Branches Hunyuan Array, but from another treasure of the law - the Destiny Chain.

The Yin-Yang Bagua Talisman sensed the existence of the Divine Chain of Destiny and then passed this information to him.

Shi Jiu himself also had a sense of it. In his spiritual sense, in an area on the left side of the front, there was a very weak and dark energy fluctuation slowly rotating. This power was very secretive and blended well with everything around it, making it almost imperceptible. Fortunately, his own soul power was extremely strong. Although he was in the Soul Realm, his soul power was much stronger than that of the Soul Realm. In addition, he often practiced the Millstone Soul Forging Method. As his soul power became stronger, his spiritual sense also became stronger unconsciously. In addition, he had made great progress in his attainments in the formation. He could judge and perceive the energy fluctuations of the formation more accurately than ordinary strong men of the same level. Therefore, Shi Jiu sensed the 72 Earthly Branches Hunyuan Confinement Formation that the first and second elders could not sense.

But just as he was about to look away, he suddenly caught a glimpse of cunning in the corner of his eyes.

Shi Jiu raised his head, and the cunning look on his face disappeared. What appeared in front of him was a man with purple hair, looking at him seriously.

The moment their eyes met, the purple-haired man looked away.

Shi Jiu was slightly stunned, then frowned subconsciously.

The purple-haired man was the Purple Nether Ancestor. It was obvious that he already knew that Shi Jiu had sensed the existence of the Seventy-two Earthly Branches Hunyuan Array through his own induction and perception, rather than through the transmission of the Yin-Yang Bagua Talisman. However, he did not seem to have the intention of exposing him, which made Shi Jiu slightly relieved.

"go in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Patriarch Zi Ming was the first to fly towards an area on the left side in front, and then his body disappeared in an invisible barrier.

Seeing this, Chief Zi Ming and others immediately followed and disappeared one after another on the vast grassland.

……

"Is this the legendary Seventy-two Earthly Branches Hunyuan Confinement Array? Isn't this too big?" Just as Shi Jiu entered the invisible barrier, he heard a surprised voice.

After a brief visual adjustment, Shi Jiu was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him, and then nodded woodenly, as if responding to his surprised expression.

Because what appeared in front of him was a huge stone pillar, and this stone pillar was hundreds of feet high, like a dangerous peak towering into the clouds. Shi Jiu and his companions were too small in front of this stone pillar.

The stone pillar is tall and huge, but it is engraved with various runes. Shi Jiu can recognize some of them, but he cannot understand most of them. However, Shi Jiu feels great power and hidden energy from these runes. With the blessing of these runes, the stone pillar looks vicissitudes and grandeur.

But these were not the most surprising things for everyone. As they raised their heads and looked around, they saw dozens of such huge stone pillars scattered around, and against the backdrop of the misty fog, they had an indescribable majestic aura.

After being shocked, Shi Jiu swept his spiritual sense towards the surrounding boulders, but just as he was about to get close, an invisible force instantly blocked the detection of his spiritual sense.

Shi Jiu was somewhat unwilling to give up. It was a rare opportunity to come across an ancient super formation, so he had to investigate it no matter what. If he could study it in detail, it would definitely be of great help to his research on formations, and even shorten the time it would take him to become a formation master.

However, after several unyielding "collisions", his spiritual consciousness was still blocked by a certain force around the stone pillars and could not move forward even a little.

“These stone pillars are the pillars of the Seventy-two Earthly Branches Hunyuan Confinement Array. There are seventy-two of them in total, and they are engraved with patterns of different laws, representing the seventy-two Earthly Branches. Each one has a certain great power, and it is impossible to detect it unless one’s cultivation is at the Venerable Realm.” At this time, Patriarch Zi Ming, who was standing in the front of the crowd, introduced.

After Patriarch Zi Ming finished speaking, Shi Jiu turned his head slightly and didn't look at the other person.

Although Patriarch Zi Ming just introduced him, the second half of the sentence was obviously directed at him. It was obvious that he noticed the abnormality of Shi Jiu just now.

Of course, it was not just Patriarch Zi Ming. Several others also looked at Shi Jiu, and Zisong even laughed out loud.

Among the people present, except Shi Jiu, the weakest one was at the Soul Realm level, and more than half were at the Venerable level. Everyone noticed that Shi Jiu used his spiritual sense to scan the surrounding stone pillars, so after hearing what Ancestor Zi Ming said, they all looked at Shi Jiu.

"Boy, didn't you hear what the ancestor said? These stone pillars have extraordinary origins. Even we don't dare to explore them easily, but you dared... Haha, you are embarrassed now, right?" Elder Zisong lowered his voice and smiled at Shi Jiu.

Shi Jiu felt embarrassed but couldn't refute, so he turned his head a little further and didn't look at everyone.

"Okay, stop laughing. Business is more important." Patriarch Zi Ming stopped Elder Zi Song, and then said solemnly: "The Destiny Chain is in the center of the Seventy-two Earthly Branches Primordial Array. Ning'er, Shi Jiu, the two of you go to the center of the array to tame the Destiny Chain. The others and I will be responsible for guarding the four directions to prevent the Destiny Chain from rioting."

After Patriarch Zi Ming finished speaking, Shi Jiu suddenly turned around.
