Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Hall of Impartation…
Upon hearing Zhang Han’s words, Chu Yuan was delighted. Indeed, this disciple had been talking nonsense. What could he have understood?
It was all nonsense and lies.
Did anyone really think that this disciple had comprehended something?
No way, no way!
Could it be that someone really thought so?
This second disciple of his was just a piece of trash. How could he have comprehended anything?
However, this Zhang Han was really insensible.
How could he lie to his Master?
Didn’t he know that a liar had to swallow 1,000 needles?
Forget it, forget it.
Since this disciple was still useless, he was relieved.
Chu Yuan nodded slightly and said with great satisfaction, “Since you’ve yet to comprehend anything, you’ll have to spend more time comprehending it. Do you understand?”
Zhang Han, who was standing not far away, was stunned for a moment. He nodded and said, “Master, disciple understands!”
He didn’t catch anything abnormal.
In his heart, he believed that his Master merely wanted him to comprehend a great Dao as soon as possible!
Upon hearing that, Chu Yuan was even more satisfied and looked at Zhang Han with admiration.
This second disciple of his was still the best. He was nothing like Ye Luo. He was not someone who would backstab him.
“It’s good that you understand. In that case, Master will take his leave. You must properly comprehend and not slack off.”
Chu Yuan turned around and prepared to leave.
He was very happy. He planned to find the shopkeeper back at Silvermoon City and have a good time!
This was not a matter of whoring. He simply wanted to drink and chat happily!
When Zhang Han saw that Chu Yuan was about to leave, he wanted to send him off respectfully, but on second thought, he quickly stopped his Master.
“Master, wait! I have something to tell you!”
Zhang Han was afraid that Chu Yuan would leave too quickly. Thus, his tone became more urgent.
Chu Yuan stopped in his tracks, raised his brows slightly, and asked doubtfully, “Is there anything else?”
Zhang Han respectfully bowed to his Master and said, “Master, this disciple wants to learn how to set up array formations, but I don’t know where the raw materials are in the sect and have thus come to ask Master about it.”
He had an innate Heart of Formations. The most terrifying aspect of his Heart of Formations was not its extraordinary understanding of formations. Instead, if he were to set up an array formation and comprehend it fully, his cultivation would directly increase.
This was the terrifying talent of those who had the Heart of Formations.
However, the problem was that Zhang Han could not find any materials to set up an array formation.
Everyone knew that setting up formations required the support of various materials, and large-scale formations even required the support of corresponding formation diagrams to be set up.
Zhang Han could not find the materials needed to set up the array formation and was thus naturally unable to set it up.
This was why he had come to consult Chu Yuan.
When Chu Yuan, who was standing at the entrance and preparing to leave, heard that Zhang Han wanted to set up the formation materials, he was stunned.
Did Zhang Han understand that he could not comprehend the Dao and wanted to directly attempt to comprehend the Dao through physically making an array formation?
However, didn’t this disciple know that the Daoless Sect was a third-rate sect without a license or resources?
Oh no!
This disciple really did not know.
However, where was he going to find the materials for the array formation?
Buy?
I’m afraid you’re joking.
Buying all the materials needed with the few taels of silver in my shoes?
Sell off my clothes that cost 100 gold taels to buy those materials?
Don’t be ridiculous. It’s impossible for me to use money to buy them.
Since I can’t buy it, I can only continue what I used to do.
A meaningful smile appeared on Chu Yuan’s face as he turned around with his back facing Zhang Han.
“Han’er, you want to set up an array formation with the raw materials you are asking for?”
Chu Yuan’s enigmatic voice sounded.
Zhang Han nodded and said elegantly, “Yes, Master.”
“Han’er, before you ask for the materials for setting up the array, let me ask you a question. Do you know what the pinnacle of the Dao of Array Formations is?”
When Chu Yuan asked this question, a breeze blew past, and his white robe fluttered in the wind.
At that moment, he seemed extremely imposing, as if he really was a banished immortal walking through the mortal world.
When Zhang Han looked at his Master’s back, he felt that his Master was indeed unfathomable.
He shook his head and began to carefully consider the question his Master had given him.
What was the pinnacle of the Dao of Array Formations?
Zhang Han pondered for a moment before replying, “Master, the pinnacle of the Dao of Array Formations should be to defeat the strong even if one is weak. When weaker cultivators use formations, they should be able to defeat the strong.”
Defeating the strong with the weak?
Chu Yuan was stunned. An array formation had such an effect?
This ignited his desire to learn more about array formations.
However, he still appeared calm on the surface. He shook his head and said nothing.
Zhang Han continued. “Master, the pinnacle of the Dao of Array Formations should be to reverse the cycle of Yin and Yang and break through the cycle of reincarnation. There’s nothing one cannot do with an array formation!”
Becoming omnipotent!
Chu Yuan was tempted. He really wanted to learn the Dao of Array Formations now.
However, he had no way to do so.
Although he was tempted, he continued to shake his head.
When Zhang Han saw this, he pondered for a moment and said, “Master, the pinnacle of the Dao of Array Formations should be borrowing strength from the formation! One could use the array formation to borrow the power of heaven and earth to launch an attack. When one does that, the enemy not only faces him, but they also have to face the powers of the heaven and earth!”
So awesome?
Chu Yuan’s eyes widened, and he was almost drooling.
Was the Dao of Array Formations that amazing?
He really wanted to learn, but where could he get his hands on the relevant secret manuals?
There was no way for him to do so.
Chu Yuan sighed in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his expression and became calm once again.
Chu Yuan asked rather casually, “What you just said are all the basic functions of an array formation, but it is not the pinnacle. So, Han’er, do you know what the pinnacle of the Dao of array formation is?”
Zhang Han could only bow helplessly, “Master, this disciple is slow-witted and does not know.”
Chu Yuan took a few steps forward and arrived at the entrance of the hall. He initially wanted to look up at the sky to act cool, but when he thought about how his eyes hurt from the sun that day, he immediately looked down at the ground instead.
“Actually, reaching the pinnacle does not mean one needs to be extremely powerful or frightening. The pinnacle of the Dao of Array Formations lies in the technique involved.
“Once you reach the pinnacle of the Dao of Array Formations, you can set up formations with a single thought. There is no need for raw materials to set up array formations. With a single thought, you can draw the energy of the world into a grand formation to suppress and kill your enemies.
“What I want is for you to learn this technique. To set up the array formation without any materials in a single thought! Remember, there is no need for you to set up an array formation with any materials!”
Chu Yuan emphasized a few words.
There was no need to set up an array formation with any materials!
He really did not have the money to buy the raw materials needed for setting up an array formation.
Drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to set up an array formation with a single thought? That was just pure rubbish! Good luck trying to comprehend it!
If Zhang Han could really comprehend it, it would be his loss!
On the other side, Zhang Han was stunned when he heard this.
With a single thought, one could gather the power of heaven and earth into a massive array…
There was no need for any materials…
Zhang Han was stunned for a long time.
When Chu Yuan saw this scene, clouds quickly formed under his feet, and he slipped away.
You can’t see me, can’t see me, can’t see me…
I really don’t have the money to buy the materials needed for you to squander away…
I won’t give it to you even if I have it.
Chu Yuan decisively chose to escape…
