The Array Compass in Lou Mu Yan’s hand was made by herself, and only the size of a palm.
She stared at the Array Compass intently, and from time to time she would walk around to test the Restriction with her Spiritual Energy.
Mo Ling walked to her side and when his eyes fell on her Array Compass, he couldn’t take it back.
“Lou Mu Yan, can you show me your Array Compass?”
Lou Mu Yan was currently in deep contemplation, and when she heard his words, she handed it to him without hesitation.
Not long after, Xiao Jun Yao and the others also arrived here and enquired about the situation of the Black Forest from the others.
When he walked to the junction of the black soil and brown soil, his expression instantly changed, and his face also sank instantly.
The teammates around had never seen his face change like this. They all had a bad premonition in their hearts.
“Jun Yao, is there something wrong here?” One of them asked with slight worry.
The people around him pricked up their ears when they heard this question.
Xiao Jun Yao being a predetermined pupil of the Heavenly Secret Palace was in fact known by a small number of people here, so his words were also credible.
Xiao Jun Yao sighed, “Our luck in this session’s competition sure is so bad. The Black Forest is the strongest Restriction on this mountain.”
“What? The strongest Restriction? Is it difficult to break?” Someone couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s not that it’s difficult to break—it’s very difficult. A hundred years ago, there was a session where the Sword Masters also encountered this Black Forest Restriction halfway, and in the end, they weren’t able to break the Restriction and arrive at the mountain peak within the allocated time.” Xiao Jun Yao’s expression was dark, “That session, all participants were eliminated, and no one came out of the finals.”
“What? All participants were eliminated.” The expressions of many people present changed when they heard his words.
“Yes. No one made it into the top hundred at that time.” Xiao Jun Yao’s handsome expression couldn’t resist but be stained with a layer of worry.
If they were trapped outside the Restriction and was unable to reach the top of the mountain, then even if he entered the Heavenly Secret Palace, he wouldn’t be able to become a Core Pupil of the Outer Sect, and could only start as an ordinary Outer Pupil.
“How could this happen? Then what should we do?” Many people were completely dumbfounded.
It was impossible for Xiao Jun Yao to use this kind of thing to deceive them. He was even a predetermined pupil of the Heavenly Secret Palace. Even if he couldn’t become a Core Pupil, but he would at least not need to worry about not being able to enter the Palace’s gate.
But they were different. If they didn’t advance into the top hundred, it would probably be difficult for them to enter the Sect.
“Brother Xiao, how many people entered the Six Major Sects at the end of that session?” Someone asked urgently.
Xiao Jun Yao pondered for a while, then said: “No more than thirty people.”
His words made the expressions of the people present change. Some of the predetermined pupils were a little calmer, but they were still very disappointed. After entering the Sect, there was still a big difference between Ordinary Pupils and Core Pupils.
The waves of discussions continued, and negative emotions spread.
“Why don’t we try to attack it?” Someone suddenly suggested.
Others also agreed—might as well ‘treat a dead horse as if it’s alive’.
Xiao Jun Yao thought about it and nodded in approval: “Let’s discuss it a little more.”
He looked up and saw Mo Ling currently talking to Lou Mu Yan not far away. They appeared as if they were deaf to their reactions, so he thought a bit and walked over.
“Mo Ling, do you have any countermeasures?” Xiao Jun Yao knew that Mo Ling was born in a Distinguished Clan that specialised in Arrays, and was also a Grade 3 Array Master himself, as well as a predetermined pupil of the Heavenly Secret Palace.
Mo Ling’s expression was indifferent, and his cold and solitary temperament added a bit of mystery to his handsome appearance.
“We found a weak point in the Restriction before, but it will take at least ten days or so to break.”
With a solemn expression, he continued: “The most important thing is that we’re not sure whether it’s a real weak spot or a trap deliberately set by the person who placed the Restriction.”

Since Xiao Jun Yao knew about the situation of the Black Forest, then he naturally understood that the Restriction was difficult to break. He was a little disappointed when he heard Mo Ling’s words.
Even if Mo Ling and the others found the weak point of the Restriction, but they couldn’t wait ten days.
Leaving the Restriction area didn’t mean that they could reach the top of the mountain safely. There were still many roadblocks ahead and it would take time.
“Hm? The Array Compass in your hand is rather extraordinary!” Xiao Jun Yao was silent for a while, and when he looked up, he saw the dark golden Array Compass in Mo Ling’s hand.
He had a very light Psychic Bloodline and could feel the existence of the Spiritual Items around him. The Array Compass in Mo Ling’s hand was actually made of Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, which sure was extravagant.
When Mo Ling borrowed it from Lou Mu Yan, he naturally recognised the refining materials for this Array Compass and he smiled bitterly: “This Array Compass belongs to Lou Mu Yan, I just borrowed it for a look.”
The Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal was one of the best materials for refining Array Compasses, and the sensitivity of the Array Compass was many times stronger than that made from ordinary materials.
He was fascinated by Arrays, and also wanted to find Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal to refine an Array Compass, but such Spiritual Items could be found but not be desired. He just didn’t have as much luck as Lou Mu Yan.
Xiao Jun Yao was surprised: “So it’s Young Miss Lou’s Array Compass.”
Then he immediately curbed his emotions and smiled, “I almost forgot that Young Miss Lou is also a Grade 3 Array Master.”
What Lou Mu Yan arranged during the Great War was a Grade 3 Fire Array, which was already very rare, and it could even be said that there were almost no people of her age who could achieve such attainments in Arrays.
Since she actually owned an Array Compass refined from Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, then the background hidden behind her was probably not so simple either. This kind of Spiritual Item wasn’t something any ordinary person could obtain.
Of course, he didn’t rule out the fact that she was just lucky, and with her excelling talent, her future achievements in Arrays definitely wouldn’t be too low.
No wonder that all the predetermined pupils of the Six Major Sects received orders to secretly win over Lou Mu Yan. With her talent and temperament, if they focused on raising her, then she would definitely be extraordinary in the future.
Lou Mu Yan smiled and said nothing. Xiao Jun Yao’s prestige among the Sword Masters in this competition space was very high, and he had a very good ability to gather people together—he wasn’t as simple as what his elegance makes him out to be at all.
“Since we can’t break this Restriction for the time being, why don’t we try to attack it?” Xiao Jun Yao looked at the two and asked.
He was a layman in front of Arrays and Restrictions. Among the people here, Mo Ling and Lou Mu Yan understood Arrays the most.
“We can try.” Mo Ling pressed his lips together, and after thinking about it, he looked up at Lou Mu Yan and asked: “What do you think?”
“It’s good to try several methods.” Lou Mu Yan smiled lightly.
She had complete confidence in breaking this Restriction, but she wouldn’t say it aloud right now. She’d just let these people toss about first.
She didn’t request for these people to have a grateful heart for her when she broke it, but she just hoped that they wouldn’t cause trouble for her.
“Then let’s try first.”
Xiao Jun Yao then organised a group of people to attack the positions Mo Ling and the other Array Masters designated using various means in an attempt to forcibly break the Restriction.
Lou Mu Yan didn’t join their Restriction-breaking army and still continued to take the Array Compass to research and explore.
This sort of Restriction wasn’t difficult for her, an Almighty from the Spirit World, but she found that the person who arranged the Restriction used several very subtle and intricate methods, so she held the Array Compass, wanting to study it more.
Three days later, someone touched a point in the Restriction during the attacks, and all one saw was a light suddenly emerge from the ground of the Black Forest.
When many people were pleasantly surprised, thinking that they had performed a ‘blind cat catching a dead mouse’ moment and broke the Restriction, suddenly, a black, transparent light cover shrouded the entire forest, and the air also had a slightly strange smell.
“This is bad, quickly retreat.” Mo Ling’s expression changed greatly, and he shouted urgently.
A few people in front who accidentally touched the black light cover instantly screamed. After falling to the ground, their entire body trembled and they were foaming at the mouth.
“What’s going on?” Xiao Jun Yao’s expression was extremely ugly.
Mo Ling’s eyes were cloudy and uncertain, “Someone accidentally touched a mechanism in the Restriction and activated it completely. Now, if we want to break it, it’ll be even more difficult than rising to Heaven.”
