Moon True Master was a Deity Transformation cultivator with no small prowess in physical cultivation, likely a descendant of an Eight Extremes Palace disciple. It was rumored he possessed an orthodox physical cultivation technique from the Palace.
The potential treasures within his universe bag made him a target for all. Under normal circumstances, White Bone True Master's intervention would deter others from acting recklessly, given his status. But in the confines of the Eight Extremes Palace, the power disparity between Deity Transformation and Nascent Soul cultivators was minimal.
Thus, White Bone True Master, Zhong Tianshuo, Tie Jun, and Shang Xingchen all sprang into action, each vying for Moon True Master's universe bag. And if they could procure his physical body as well, all the better. The body of a cultivator, especially one versed in physical arts, was a treasure trove in itself. His bones, flesh, and even skin could be transformed into magical artifacts.

Chu Xuan, detecting the distant clamor of battle, chuckled lightly. He had anticipated such a conflict might occur but did not expect it to be delayed until now. The Sea Boiling Pill was a double-edged sword—it could harm others as much as it harmed oneself. Should one be unable to withstand the repercussions, death might follow.
"It should be just ahead," Chu Xuan murmured as he continued forward. Soon, he discovered the sanctuary's highest teleportation array, its surroundings marked by dried blood that still bore a faint stench despite the years—a testament to the unique nature of the corpse demons.
Observing the array, Chu Xuan noted its size was significantly reduced, almost tenfold smaller than typical arrays, likely permitting only one person to pass at a time. After a thorough inspection, he sighed in relief. "Fortunately, only a corner is damaged. Repairing it shouldn't be too challenging. Had it been more extensively damaged, even I would be at a loss."
Chu Xuan shook his head, his gaze lost in contemplation. The art of array formation was as vast as the ocean, and while he had a basic grasp of alchemy and talisman crafting, his skills in the art of tool crafting and the notoriously complex array crafting were merely rudimentary.
Nevertheless, even his modest expertise was sufficient to set up and mend a Nascent Soul-level array. Though the arrays of the Deity Transformation stage were intricate, they were essentially combinations of multiple Nascent Soul-level arrays. With enough time, the principles of the teleportation array could be thoroughly understood.
Taking out a blank spiritual sense jade slip, Chu Xuan quickly recorded the array's configuration. He then retreated to a nearby dwelling, where he set up numerous defensive arrays from his universe bag, unconcerned about their potential loss. With his preparations complete, he stationed Hu and Long to guard the site, then returned to his haven in the Water Curtain Cave on Blue Star to delve deep into his studies.
Time flowed differently here; ten days in the Water Curtain Cave amounted to barely a day in the Eight Extremes Palace. Chu Xuan was determined to use this to his advantage, slowing the progression of the corpse demons as much as possible.

Day by day, from ten to thirty, Chu Xuan stared intently at the complicated array before him, his eyes bloodshot and veined. The more he immersed himself in understanding the array, the more he recognized its profound and archaic intricacies. Each line seemed to resonate with the fundamental truths of the universe, immutable and unyielding.
Teleportation arrays were among the most challenging to master. Even those array masters who dabbled in Deity Transformation-level arrays started with the simplest ones, not the dauntingly complex teleportation arrays.
