Wang Haiyan also realized that the key to whether they could successfully break through the encirclement depended on Qi Tian. If Qi Tian could recover more True Essence, it would certainly benefit them. If Qi Tian couldn’t recover his True Essence, then even if they did manage to break through, they would pay a heavy price. Even Wang Haiyan couldn’t guarantee that she could escape unscathed.

“Princess, we will do as you say. Whatever you decide, we’ll follow.” Wang Haiyan very straightforwardly voiced her choice.

“But if we need to buy time, what about Li Xue and the others?” A disciple from the Imperial Master Mansion spoke up.

Zhao Qian and Wang Haiyan remained silent. At this point, they could only sacrifice Li Xue and the others. They couldn’t risk everyone’s safety just for them. Even though it was a cruel choice, it was the reality in the Cultivation World.

At this moment, Huang Liuyan spoke up, “I have an idea. Just proceed as planned and don’t worry about me.”

Zhao Qian and Wang Haiyan’s choices reminded Huang Liuyan of an array disk that she had collected years ago. She hadn’t used it for many years, but it might just be able to work wonders in this situation.

Huang Liuyan took out the array disk and began to pull out the array flags one by one, throwing them to specific positions.

The native cultivators didn’t know what the array disk was for, but their instincts told them that it definitely wasn’t anything good. The leader shouted, “Stop her quickly!”

Just like the native cultivators, Zhao Qian and the others didn’t know what this array disk was either, but that didn’t mean they would allow the native cultivators to interrupt Huang Liuyan. All of them sprung into action to prevent the natives from approaching Huang Liuyan. Even though Qi Tian had exhausted a great deal of his True Essence, he managed to block one or two of the native cultivators.

With Huang Liuyan’s skilled hands, the array flags were properly set up in less than a minute. She slapped her hand onto the array disk, and beams of light shot out and connected with each array flag. The array flags fluttered without wind, and the runes on them glowed brilliantly, intertwining with each other to form a large array in an instant.

This vast array was like a dense fog, enveloping them all. People outside the array couldn’t see inside, and people within the array couldn’t see outside. Even if two people were to stand face to face within the array, they still wouldn’t be able to see each other.

This was the Chaos Mist Array, an array that confused everyone’s senses. Within its influence, both vision and hearing were severely distorted, making it all but impossible to make accurate judgments. The manufacture of such an array required an understanding of much deeper principles and was far beyond the reach of ordinary people. But because it was so ancient, the rank and power of this array disk had greatly diminished over time, and thus it had ended up in Huang Liuyan’s hands.

The appearance of the Chaos Mist Array was incredibly timely. Just a moment ago, Qi Tian had launched an Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist at his opponent, but bizarrely, his punch did not land. Immediately after, Qi Tian became completely incapable of detecting his adversary. He could no longer see, hear, or smell him.

A thought struck Qi Tian. He swept his hand around, yet touched nothing but empty space. Despite how crowded it was just moments ago, he could no longer feel anyone nearby. It was as if the space around him had suddenly expanded multiple times, or the directions had become disoriented, with up becoming down, and left becoming right. Even Huang Liuyan herself might not be able to explain what exactly happened.

Qi Tian realized that this was his chance. He hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground, swallowing several pills to recover his True Essence and physical strength. Even though he couldn’t use the Hundred Fruits Wine and the Grand Rejuvenation Pills for the time being, he had other similar pills that he could use now. Their recuperative effect was inferior to that of the Hundred Fruits Wine, let alone the Grand Rejuvenation Pills.

Just then, Qi Tian heard footstep sounds. At first, he thought he had made a mistake. But soon, he realized that it wasn’t an illusion. Huang Liuyan had actually walked through the mist of the Chaos Mist Array and arrived at his side. Behind her, Hu Niu was carrying a corpse of a native cultivator with her teeth, still hoping to use the native cultivator’s corpse to recover Qi Tian’s True Essence.

Seeing the array disk Huang Liuyan was clutching in her hand, a realization dawned on Qi Tian. The Chaos Mist Array must not be able to confuse Huang Liuyan. “Auntie, why have you come over?” he asked.

Huang Liuyan said, “I acquired this array disk inadvertently during my travels. It has one hour of use remaining. After an hour, it will disintegrate and lose its function. In other words, you have less than an hour to restore your True Essence. It seems that you have been using pills and medicinal wines to recover your True Essence, seemingly without a recovery technique. I’m passing on to you a set of Spring Sunshine Earth Skill. This is a top-grade mysterious level technique for restoring True Essence. You can use it until the Foundation Establishment Stage. With it, even without using pills, as long as you have spirit stones or there is Spirit Qi available in the world for you to use, you can quickly restore your True Essence.”

“Thank you, Uncle Master.” Qi Tian knew that now was not the time for politeness with Huang Liuyan, so he hastily thanked her.

“Don’t move, I am passing on the technique to you now.” Huang Liuyan extended a slender finger. A hazy glow gathered at her fingertip and then pointed at Qi Tian’s forehead. The glow left her fingertip and drilled into Qi Tian’s mind.

After doing all this, Huang Liuyan’s body swayed. She had suppressed her cultivation very strongly. Using this method to pass on the technique consumed a lot of energy. Moreover, when she imparted the technique, she felt that Qi Tian’s spiritual power was exceptionally robust. If Qi Tian had not let down his guard, it would have been impossible for this impartation to succeed. Yet, even with success, Qi Tian’s potent spirit increased her depletion significantly.

With Huang Liuyan’s impartation, not only did she pass on the full technique of the Spring Sunshine Earth Skill to Qi Tian, but she also distilled her understanding and experience of practicing it, integrating them into it. As a result, Qi Tian’s understanding and comprehension of the Spring Sunshine Earth Skill were almost on par with hers after he received it.

“Qi Tian, make good use of your time to restore your True Essence. I’ll check on the others. You should not be disturbed during your recovery. Let Hu Niu stay by your side.” In the Chaos Mist Array, Huang Liuyan was very safe and didn’t need Hu Niu to protect her.

“Be careful, Uncle Master.” Qi Tian didn’t insist on having Hu Niu follow Huang Liuyan.

Huang Liuyan turned and left. Qi Tian first patted Hu Niu’s large head, then fed the corpse of the indigenous cultivator to the Heavenly Dao Engine, including the storage bag on the cultivator’s waist along with everything inside. It was all given as fuel to the Heavenly Dao Engine.

Then, Qi Tian took out two spirit stones and held them in his hands, beginning to restore his True Essence according to the method of the Spring Sunshine Earth Skill. This method was a bit slower than using the Grand Rejuvenation Pills, yet faster than that of the Hundred Fruits Wine.

Thinking of speed, an idea flashed in Qi Tian’s mind. He thought of the Heavenly Dao Engine. The Heavenly Dao Engine could accelerate – he wondered if it could speed up his True Essence recovery.

With this thought in mind, Qi Tian activated the Heavenly Dao Engine and, while keeping it running, used the method of the Spring Sunshine Earth Skill to restore his True Essence.

With this trial, Qi Tian was overjoyed. The Heavenly Dao Engine did not disappoint him. His True Essence replenishment speed was effectively doubled. As a result, it was even more effective than consuming the Grand Rejuvenation Pills. More delightfully, the acceleration effect of the Heavenly Dao Engine was equally effective when using medicinal pills to replenish True Essence. The evaporation and absorption of the medicinal power in the pills were also doubled.

Originally, Qi Tian was worried that an hour would not be enough for him to fully replenish his expended True Essence. But now, with the help of the Spring Sunshine Earth Skill and the accelerated assistance of the Heavenly Dao Engine, the result was exceptionally great. He could fully replenish his depleted True Essence and even have time to spare.

About half an hour later, Qi Tian had completely replenished his lost True Essence, and the two spirit stones had become dull and lost their light. The Spirit Qi in spirit stones is highly concentrated. Under normal circumstances, a cultivator like Qi Tian at the Qi Cultivating Stage 4 wouldn’t consume so much for True Essence replenishment. However, Qi Tian had more meridians unblocked than others at the same level, and twelve of them were perfectly unblocked. Therefore, using spirit stones to replenish True Essence naturally caused more consumption.

Qi Tian felt invigorated, brimming with power. He was already somewhat eager, longing for battle. He was itching to give it a try, to see if he could find the indigenous cultivators who were trapped in the Chaos Mist Array like him. He believed that if he used the Heavenly Dao Engine, he could clear away the Chaos Mist Array completely. However, doing so would ruin Huang Liuyan’s goodwill and disrupt the Emperor’s arrangements. Therefore, Qi Tian dismissed the idea.

Although he could not use the Heavenly Dao Engine to destroy the Chaos Mist Array, it wouldn’t be a problem to use it to search for individuals emitting energy fluctuations. Just like when he used the Heavenly Dao Engine to discern spirit stone raw stones in the black market, its sensitivity to Spirit Qi should be able to help Qi Tian find those indigenous cultivators.
