The array was miraculously repaired and once that happened, the scarlet eyes of the behemoth gradually calmed down.

The black and red color faded and those huge eyes became blue and sea-like again.

It looked at Chu MuYun and Chu MuYun also looked back at it.

Chu MuYun stared at it, looking into the huge eyes that seemed to be flowing like seawater from different ocean depths.

In a flash, he thought that this guy was about to cry… but… it was just for a moment.
Soon the deep blue was swallowed by scarlet again and seeing that it was once again going to become pitch black, Chu MuYun no longer hesitated and cut his wrist.
He let the blood flow faster and the formation pattern became stronger and stronger, and the red glow also became more and more exaggerated.
Finally, the behemoth was completely suppressed.

The cave suddenly returned to calm.

The invisible array had fully revealed its shape.
The dense red entwined with the broken ice blue, one by one, ring by ring, cleverly using the angle and position of the gemstone landing to form a perfect suppression array again.

Chu MuYun was extremely proficient in the array formation.
So he only needed to glance at it and his heart became clear.

If you think about it carefully, this ability was so powerful that it was also a bit illogical.
It was true that there were countless exquisite formation books in Pride’s QianLuan Peak.
Chu MuYun had memorized the entire library but, no matter what, he should not be able to see through this formation.
This kind of unique array, which was obviously artificial, laborious and time-consuming, should not be able to be discerned completely by a second person.

But Chu MuYun understood it.

Why? Unless this array was made by his own two hands.

When Wrath was born, could he have personally drawn this array and forced Wrath to sleep here, in order to suppress the behemoth beneath?

No, it was impossible.

Chu MuYun was inexplicably confident that it was impossible for him to return to that time.

It was impossible!

There were too many mysteries here but there is no time to straighten it all out.
Although this array could be temporarily suppressed, it had lost its source and was always in a state of instability.

It was impossible to calculate how long this formation would be effective but Chu MuYun knew that he couldn’t let the behemoth come out.

It had just shown its head, and Chu MuYun clearly felt that if it showed its entire body then the entire world would fall beneath it.

And if he wanted to stabilize the formation, there was another way other than imprisoning Ling Xuan.

It was called – a “substitution”.

Collecting the desire of ten thousand people and, using one person as a sacrifice, he could capture the strand of a weak soul and set it inside a corresponding body.
After nourishing it for a hundred years, it would eventually become a “substitute”.

If he hadn’t returned to nine hundred years ago, it’s unlikely Chu MuYun would have ever thought of this move.

It was only because, while with Gluttony, he had heard about the LingYun Sect and learned of Ling Mu’s existence and then saw Ling SuYun….
So once he returned to nine hundred years ago, he instantly understood what he had to do.

The future was already set and he was just going through the motions now.

The technique of ‘substitution’ was very difficult to implement.
First of all, the soul which was chosen would never enter the cycle of reincarnation.

As for the ‘corresponding body’, it was also very difficult to find.
Once found, it also had to be cultivated specially and the success rate was terribly low.

But as long as it was done, it would be done once and for all!

The corresponding body cannot completely replace the original body but as long as there was a tomb guardian and the desires of ten thousand people, the substitute could be used to consolidate the heart of the formation and be turned into a new source for the array.

And then, the original body would be able to escape from its shackles and regain its freedom from that time forth.

Chu MuYun closed his eyes and thought for a while.
Suddenly the corners of his mouth raised up.
In order to give this little wolf dog his freedom, the price he paid was really not small.

But if Ling Xuan didn’t even have freedom, then what romance strategy was there to talk about?

Chu MuYun opened his eyes again and was silent.

-Anyway, everything was set.  No matter how much he thought about it, it was useless.

The situation in the cave was stabilized.
Chu MuYun did not pause, he grabbed Ling Xuan and performed a magic array.
It landed directly on the ground.

Ling Xuan was looking at him without blinking.

Chu MuYun stabilized his emotions and turned to look at him: “Do you want to learn?” 

After he spoke, he raised his hand.
His slender index finger pointed horizontally and an astonishing force surged out.
There was a loud noise that shook the sky and the wasteland and a huge pit formed.

Dust was flying and sand was scattered.
Chu MuYun was standing in the center but he was not contaminated by the haze at all.

He wore a black robe and his long hair fell around his face like silk.
His posture is free and easy, and his expression calm and playful.

At this moment, this picture was like sizzling hot oil falling upon an icy lake.
Like muffled thunder that had blown into the depths of the sea.
Like a dazzling sun that tore through a haze of dark clouds…

All of Ling Xuan’s senses were captured.
All he could see, think and feel was this person who wore such an indifferent expression.

“I want to.” Ling Xuan responded.
Then an astonishing desire spread out from his heart, fiercely swept through all the nerves into his body, merged into his blood, penetrated into his bone marrow and occupied his entire soul.

What did he want to learn? What did he want to get? What did he want to possess? It was…

Chu MuYun raised the corner of his lips and smiled at him.
Then he said the words that would imprison Ling Xuan for his entire life: “I will wait for the day that you defeat me.”

He awakened him from thousands of years of deep slumber.
He pulled him out from the deepest darkness and he transformed him from a blank sheet of paper into a painting.

—A wonderful picture drawn by him himself.

It was fate.

This word was one which countless people couldn’t see through or understand; because it was erratic, false and full of helplessness.

But sometimes… it could also be so beautiful, amazing and make people willing to give everything to it.

Willingly be captured by it.

Chu MuYun has always been strict and efficient when it came to his work.
He indeed had the ability to teach Ling Xuan, this innate God of War.

Ling Xuan was a rare existence which could do everything: he could use all spells, cultivate all systems, all the practices between heaven and earth, as long as he wanted to learn it, he would definitely rise to the top.

The QianLuan Peak’s Buddhist Scripture Pavilion from four thousand years later was once again put to good use.
Chu MuYun pretty much reproduced it in its entirety from his memory.
He gave Ling Xuan many gifts but there were only three things he didn’t hand over.

One was Mo JiuShao’s ZhuYue sword technique, the other was array formation, and the third was alchemical techniques.

He never showed any of these to Ling Xuan.

By this time, Chu MuYun also understood why, 900 years later, when Ling Xuan and he fought without Ye JianHan’s presence, he obviously used all of Gluttony’s techniques but Ling Xuan didn’t have the slightest suspicion.

Of course he wouldn’t doubt it because Ling Xuan’s moves were all personally taught by him.

900 of missed time, round and round, everything turned into a cycle.

Ling Mu.
It was rather a suggestive name that Chu MuYun gave this body that had crawled out from the grave.
{I’m not exactly sure what this means but the “Mu”/沐 in Ling Mu’s name (which means to cleanse) is a homonym for “Mu”/墓 meaning tomb.}

Just like LingYun Sect and Ling SuYun, this was a secret hint he gave himself.
A sign which was to remind himself to lay out the technique of ‘substitution’.

Countless time passed.
Chu MuYun guarded Ling Xuan for nearly a hundred years until he had taught him everything he could.
Then it was time to leave.
