A clearing beside the tower. Lei Yuce and Wen Zhong stood shoulder to shoulder, quietly watching the scene unfold.

"Fellow Daoist Lei, how confident are you in this method?" Wen Zhong's lips barely moved as he transmitted his voice.

"Even if it's not ninety-nine percent, it's at least sixty or seventy. Besides, to obtain the Years God Lamp, even if there's only a one percent chance, I have to try. Surely Fellow Daoist Wen thinks the same?" Lei Yuce's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he replied via voice transmission.

"Rumor has it that the Years God Lamp is an immortal artifact crafted by Immortal Reverent Tai Sui over his entire life. I wonder what kind of treasure it truly is." A look of anticipation also appeared on Wen Zhong's face.

"Speaking of which, Vice-Sect Leader Lei, it's your business if you admire Su Anxi, but the Years God Lamp concerns the future development of my Tongtian Sword Sect. Don't let personal feelings delay important matters." Wen Zhong then looked at Lei Yuce, speaking slowly with a meaningful tone.

"Rest assured, since I am the Vice-Sect Leader, I naturally understand what I should do." Lei Yuce frowned slightly, then said solemnly.

"That's good." Wen Zhong's expression eased.

With nearly a hundred people working diligently, the array patterns on the ground were inscribed rapidly. In less than half a day, two enormous arrays, one black and one white, were drawn in front of the gray giant tower.

The two arrays coordinated with each other, displaying a yin-yang fish pattern.

"This is..." Han Li, mixed in with the crowd, looked at the array before him, his eyes flashing slightly. He immediately contacted Tihun and the Jingyan Devil.

After a few breaths, a mixture of scorching heat and cold aura emanated from his body.

"Everyone, this is the Twin Arrays designed by the Alliance Leader to break the giant tower's restriction. Each array requires fifty fellow Daoists to enter and activate it. Next, I will select the names. Those who are called, step forward." Wen Zhong flew into the air and said loudly.

At this time, the gathered cultivators in front of the tower numbered around a thousand. Hearing this, there was a stir, but no one dared to say anything, only secretly praying in their hearts not to be chosen.

Anyone could see the terrifying nature of the restriction outside the tower. To break it, the danger would certainly be great.

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Wen Zhong knew what they were thinking. He sneered inwardly and immediately began calling out names directly.

"You, you, you..."

Each time he pointed out a person, a ray of white light would shoot out from his hand, landing on that person and lingering for a long time.

In a short while, a hundred cultivators from the alliance had been selected. Although not entirely willing, these people still stepped forward.

The cultivation levels of the hundred selected people were uneven, including Grand Unity, Golden Immortal, and even True Immortal realm cultivators.

However, these people shared one characteristic: they cultivated either extremely yang or extremely yin techniques, with each type accounting for half.

"As expected, it's the Yin-Yang Twin Arrays..." Han Li's eyes flashed slightly as he murmured to himself.

If it were normal times, he wouldn't mind taking some risks to activate the array in order to obtain treasure.

However, he was being watched secretly, so he absolutely couldn't enter the array. Therefore, he used a secret technique to transfer some of Tihun's and the Jingyan Devil's vital energy into his own body, creating a mixed aura.

Although Han Li had traveled with Yu Kuohai and others for a few days, he hadn't clearly exposed his technique situation. Now that his aura had changed slightly, it didn't arouse the suspicions of the three.

On the other side of the crowd, the Lan siblings both cultivated techniques with yin-cold attributes. Although they used secret techniques to conceal their true cultivation levels, they couldn't make significant changes to their aura itself, and they were also selected into the fifty people with yin attributes.

Perhaps to avoid unnecessary complications, the two had no choice but to obey obediently.

"This is really unlucky..." Lan Yan, sitting on a node within the black array, couldn't help but complain via voice transmission.

"It's just activating an array. Endure it for a while, but you must be careful not to expose your true cultivation level." Lan Yuanzi replied via voice transmission.

"I know, brother, don't worry. This level of array is nothing." Lan Yan nodded in assurance.

"May I ask Senior Wen, is there any danger in activating this Twin Arrays to break the restriction?" At this moment, a middle-aged man in black robes next to Lan Yan asked nervously.

"Exploring treasure troves and secret realms is bound to be dangerous. If you are so afraid of death, why did you come in the first place?" Wen Zhong glanced at the man and said indifferently.

The middle-aged man in black robes turned red in the face and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.

"You don't have to worry too much. This time, we are using an array to break an array to break the restriction outside the tower. Although there is some danger, it shouldn't be great if there are no accidents. Moreover, all those who participate in breaking the restriction will be rewarded by the alliance afterward. We won't let you work in vain." Wen Zhong looked at the others and said comforting words.

Hearing this, the expressions of the people in the array eased slightly.

"Let's begin!" Lei Yuce, now floating above the two arrays, said calmly.

The two arrays on the ground immediately began to operate, each emitting a bright black and white light.

The bodies of everyone in the array felt heavy, enveloped by a powerful restrictive force, making it impossible to move. At the same time, the array beneath them emitted a swallowing force, and the immortal spiritual power in their bodies was rapidly absorbed by the array.

Everyone in the array felt a chill in their hearts, but then they realized that other than having their immortal spiritual power swallowed, there were no other abnormalities. Only then did their hearts settle down slightly.

Lei Yuce carefully observed the operation of the two arrays on the ground. Seeing that everything was going smoothly, he nodded slightly, then brought his hands together and pulled them upward.

The black and white arrays each brightened, and then, with a piercing whistling sound, strands of black and white light, as thick as arms, flew out from the two arrays. There were more than a hundred strands in total, all flying toward the stone gate entrance of the gray giant tower.

The lightning restriction on the stone gate seemed to sense the threat and suddenly brightened. Streams of thick gray-black lightning emerged, each emitting wisps of the power of law, striking the black and white light strands.

The black and white light strands were as fragile as paper, instantly torn apart and scattered.

"What powerful Yin Lightning!" In the outer crowd, Han Li's pupils shrank as he murmured.

The power of law emitted by this Yin Lightning was completely opposite to the lightning law born within his Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords.

The lightning law within the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords inherited the characteristics of the Evil-Exorcising Divine Lightning, which was righteous and masculine. These black lightning bolts, however, were completely opposite, emitting a strong yin and baleful aura.

If he had the opportunity, he would like to study these Yin Lightning bolts.

Lei Yuce didn't react to this, as if he had expected it. He chanted incantations in his mouth and made hand seals rapidly.

The black and white arrays on the ground surged with light, becoming ten times brighter, forming hundreds of giant black and white light pillars, each thousands of feet tall.

A surging yin-yang aura emanated from the two giant light pillars.

Lei Yuce made a hand seal and pulled, and two large flags, one black and one white, flew out from his body, suspended above his head.

The white flag was embroidered with a sun pattern, and the black flag was a moon. Both flags emitted astonishing spiritual power fluctuations, as well as the power of law fluctuations, clearly both immortal artifacts of considerable quality.

He waved his hands, and the black and white flags spun around in the air.

Affected by the black and white flags, the black and white light pillars also intertwined with each other and began to rotate, faster and faster, forming a huge black and white cyclone.

Splendid black and white light shone above the cyclone, and even more powerful law fluctuations burst forth.

"Go!" Lei Yuce made a hand seal and pushed outward.

The black and white cyclone immediately pressed forward, engulfing the bottom of the gray giant tower, rotating rapidly.

Rumble!

The gray-black lightning around the gray giant tower surged again, even more intensely than before. Countless gray-black lightning bolts emerged, striking the black and white cyclone, emitting sounds like iron sheets rubbing together.

Especially above the stone gate, even more flood dragon-like gray-black lightning bolts burst forth, extremely frightening, shattering the void wherever they passed.

However, the black and white cyclone was not as fragile as the previous black and white light strands. Not only was it not torn apart, but it also engulfed the gray-black lightning bolts as it rotated rapidly.

The gray-black lightning bolts seemed like fish falling into a net, unable to break free no matter how they struggled.

The surrounding cultivators cheered at the sight.

The black and white arrays suddenly unleashed their power. The immortal spiritual power within the bodies of those in the array poured out like a tide, and even strands of yin and baleful lightning power were transmitted through the air. Everyone in the array showed expressions of pain.

Lan Yan frowned, feeling strands of yin and baleful lightning power being transmitted through the air into her body, as if countless small insects were gnawing at the meridians throughout her body, which was truly painful.

However, her cultivation level was profound, so she could still endure it. In her heart, though, she was secretly grumbling.

In the outer crowd, Han Li looked at the hundred cultivators in the array, his eyes faintly flashing with a sharp light, and his divine sense quietly spread out.

Although it wasn't good to suspect the companions who were working hard to control the array, the opportunity was rare. If the person who was tracking him was currently in the array, now was the best time to investigate.

In mid-air, Lei Yuce made hand seals quickly, and the black and white cyclone rotated rapidly and slowly rose upward.

The lightning bolts that were engulfed within were also carried upward, and the lightning patterns on the surface of the tower body that the cyclone had swept over were dim, and no longer emitted gray-black lightning. It seemed that the Yin Lightning power on them had also been taken away.

After a short half-quarter of an hour, the black and white cyclone rose more than ten zhang and stopped.

Although it was only a short half-quarter of an hour, it felt extremely long to the hundred people in the arrays on the ground. The vital energy in the bodies of some cultivators with shallow cultivation levels had already been emptied, and they fell to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.

However, most of the people around them were struggling to support themselves, and they were unable to care for the life and death of those around them. As for the people on the periphery, their expressions varied. Many secretly rejoiced that they had not been selected into the array, but even more people were staring intently at the gray giant tower.

As more and more gray-black lightning emerged from the restriction above the gray giant tower, striking the black and white cyclone angrily, it seemed that the behavior of forcibly breaking the restriction by everyone had completely enraged it.

Although the black and white cyclone was still rotating rapidly, blocking all the lightning strikes, it was clearly much slower than before.

Beneath the cyclone, the stone gate of the giant tower also emerged. The gray-black lightning on it had also disappeared, leaving only a layer of faint crystalline light curtain, still shrouded on the stone gate.

This layer of crystalline light curtain was very similar to the transparent restriction at the entrance of the secret realm, and it looked even thicker.
