The evil spirit rushed into Li Dai's body, intending to repeat its old trick and drain her blood directly. That way, its power would skyrocket, allowing it to completely break free from the grand array that bound it.
That's right, the evil spirit existed much like an array spirit, yet it was no ordinary array spirit. Once upon a time, it had been a talented array master who accidentally stumbled upon this massive grand array in some mysterious place. He poured his heart and soul into studying it, only to discover that it was an extremely ancient array that had existed for a very long time. This filled the evil spirit with joy. Furthermore, this array possessed one distinct advantage: as long as he lured people into the array and trapped them to their deaths, the array could drain away their cultivation and blood, turning them into mummified corpses.
He knew this was an evil array, but judging from the information he had gathered, it was also profoundly mysterious. He had a hunch that once he bound himself to it as its master, he could effortlessly acquire the cultivation and talent of those deceased cultivators—specifically, their bloodline talent. Faced with such temptation, how could his heart not be moved? Without a moment's hesitation, he bound the ancient array to himself. Yet out of caution and prudence, he did not use his own blood for the blood-binding ritual; instead, he used a sealing-handprint binding method—a nearly lost technique known to very few.
