My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 63 The Divine Effect of the Formation-Breaking Bead

Zhang Henian did as he was told, and Zhang Laokou casually activated the anti-spy array inside the house.

"This is contraband. What do you need it for?"

Jiang Chen didn't explain the reason, only saying, "To save my life."

Old Zhang nodded slightly: "To tell you the truth, I do have a second-grade array-breaking bead. I obtained it when I was a rogue demon hunter exploring an ancient cultivator's cave."

Now that I'm old, leaving this thing behind would only bring trouble to my children and grandchildren.

I originally intended to sell this item to the garrison command, but since you need it to save your life, selling it to you is fine too.

Old Zhang searched the inner room for a long time, and soon came out with a jade box the size of a palm.

He opened the jade box and saw a crystal-clear bead inside.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the beads are covered with densely packed patterns and restrictions.

He took out the bead and handed it to Jiang Chen: "This is a high-grade second-rank array-breaking bead, and its quality has reached the level of a good grade."

"No formation below the third rank can escape this formation-breaking bead."

Jiang Chen took the array-breaking bead and examined it carefully: "Not bad, it is indeed a good thing. There is not a single scratch. It can be used dozens or even hundreds of times without any problem."

The Formation-Breaking Bead is an extremely rare and powerful magical artifact, priced much higher than ordinary artifacts of the same rank. I'll offer one thousand spirit stones. What do you say?

Old Zhang shook his head: "If someone else were to buy it, it would indeed cost a thousand spirit stones. Since you need this item, just take it and use it."

If my descendants encounter difficulties in the future, I hope you will lend them a helping hand to the best of your ability.

Jiang Chen knew what Zhang Laokou was thinking. Although Zhang Henian was now holding the family together, and he himself could live for a few more years, his descendants could smoothly get through the difficult period after his death.

However, none of his children and grandchildren were able to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining. After his death, his descendants will not be in a good situation.

As a first-grade high-level talisman master, Jiang Chen holds a relatively high position in Blackstone Mountain Market.

Buying a favor for a thousand spirit stones is a sure-fire way to make money.

Although Jiang Chen didn't want to get too involved, he was still willing to owe Zhang Laokou a favor.

He bowed to Old Master Zhang and said, "Grandpa Zhang, rest assured, I will do my best to help if any of the Zhang family's descendants ever encounter difficulties in the future."

Having said that, he pocketed the array-breaking bead and left Zhang Laokou's shop.

Watching his retreating figure, Old Zhang's expression was extremely complex, a mixture of regret and relief.

"It's a pity they aren't my children or grandchildren, but fortunately, I'm on good terms with them."

-----------------

After returning to his own courtyard, Jiang Chen began to make plans.

"With the Formation-Breaking Pearl, we can enter Qinglu Beach and wait for the black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator to activate all the formations before unleashing the Formation-Breaking Pearl to break them all."

Although the black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator had set up numerous formations, he would find it difficult to defeat Li Wusheng, who possessed a powerful treasure, in a short time.

In this way, I can release the Crimson Thunder Pearl to request assistance from the Golden Cauldron Sect cultivators.

"As for provoking Black Wolf, there are bound to be some repercussions. If the Golden Cauldron Sect learns from Black Wolf that Grandpa possesses an important inheritance, they might also have designs on him."

"This time, I'll try using this array-breaking bead to enter the dream. If I can escape this calamity, that would be good; if not, I'll provoke the black wolf again."

[Day 3 of the dream]

……

[Day 17 of the Dream]

For the past ten days or so, Jiang Chen has not been practicing drawing talismans, but has instead focused his time on cultivating magic.

The Sun family was dealt with using the same methods as when they entered the dream.

That morning, just like in his previous dream, Jiang Chen boarded a shuttle boat with a group of cultivators and headed straight north, soon arriving at Qinglu Beach.

Having learned from his previous experience, he wasn't worried at all; he simply concealed the Formation-Breaking Pearl and the Myriad Blade Golden Armor Talisman in his sleeve.

Once all the formations set up by the Black Stone Society are activated, they will immediately activate the Formation-Breaking Bead to suppress them all.

Once the formation is broken, I will release the Crimson Lightning Pearl. The black-clad Foundation Establishment cultivator, unable to defeat Li Wusheng, will naturally retreat.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Chen waited quietly for the enemy to arrive.

As before, the Clippers were attacked and damaged first, and then the first wave of Hei-clothed men appeared, but were all killed by Li Wusheng and Jiang Chen.

Then the black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator jumped out and used the Mysterious Curtain Sky-Covering Array to block the Crimson Lightning Pearl released by Li Wusheng.

Immediately afterward, Li Wusheng engaged in a fierce battle with the black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator. Black Wolf led a dozen or so men in black to rush onto the wrecked ship and besiege Jiang Chen and the other cultivators who were about to join the Golden Cauldron Sect.

These second group of men in black were all at the peak of Qi Refining, and must be the backbone of the Black Stone Society.

During the last time they entered a dream to simulate the future, many people died at their hands.

This time, Jiang Chen planned to strike ahead of time and kill all the men in black, hoping to save a few lives in the process.

I have saved these people's lives. With this favor, I can have more connections within the sect later.

Jiang Chen immediately activated the Myriad Blades Golden Armor Talisman, unleashing streaks of golden sword shadows that quickly wiped out the second group of men in black.

None of the cultivators who went with him to report to the Golden Cauldron Sect's mountain gate died; only a few were slightly injured.

They looked at Jiang Chen with gratitude in their eyes.

On the other side, the black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator who was fighting Li Wusheng was filled with hatred as he saw all his key subordinates killed.

"I didn't want to offend the Golden Cauldron Sect to the death, but since you killed all my subordinates, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Before the words were finished, countless silver streaks of light suddenly appeared under the cover of the Xuanmu Zhetian Array.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen was not surprised but rather pleased.

"The Black Stone Society's final killing formation has been activated, making this the perfect opportunity to use the Formation-Breaking Bead."

Before the sword shadow could even materialize within the formation, Jiang Chen summoned the Formation-Breaking Pearl.

Driven by his divine sense and magical power, the white light within the array-breaking bead shone brightly, and the restrictions within it were simultaneously activated.

In the blink of an eye, the silver light drawn by the black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator vanished without a trace, and even the black barrier formed by the Xuanmu Heaven-Covering Array collapsed in an instant.

This is the miraculous effect of the Breaking Formation Bead; the restrictions within the bead can simulate the formation base used to set up an array.

Once the array-breaking bead is activated within the array, it's as if the original array suddenly gains an additional array base, disrupting the energy flow of the original array and rendering it unable to function.

In addition, the energy of the Breaking Array Bead will also flow into the array base along the energy flow path, making it unable to operate for a short period of time, or even directly damaged.

With the formation broken, Jiang Chen quickly took out the Crimson Thunder Pearl and activated it with all his might.

Boom!

A muffled thunderclap, powerful yet not piercing, resounded, followed by a burst of crimson light that illuminated the sky for miles around.

Once the Crimson Thunder Pearl is released, both the Black Stone Mountain Market in the south and the Golden Scale Market in the north will receive the news in a very short time.

The Blackstone Mountain Market only has Foundation Establishment cultivators, which may not be a major concern. However, the Golden Scale Market has Core Formation cultivators in charge.

At the speed of a Core Formation cultivator, they can arrive within a hundred breaths.

Li Wusheng sneered, "You scoundrel, if you have the guts, don't run away! Fight me another three hundred rounds!"

The black-robed Foundation Establishment cultivator stared intently at Jiang Chen, his teeth grinding together.

"Jiang Chen, one day I will tear you to pieces to pay tribute to my dead brothers."

Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of black light and headed southeast.
