  Ye Yuan was operating from an advantageous position. Comprehending a set of Tier 3 array formation was not something very monstrous.

  In truth, his greatest obstacle was still these 18 sword puppets!

  These 18 sword puppets were too strong for Ye Yuan. Most of his energy still needed to be placed on the sword puppets.

  Otherwise, a moment of carelessness and it would be the outcome of perishing and his Dao dissipating.

  Fortunately, under the Heart Like Still Water State, Ye Yuan could take in all of the sword puppets’ actions into his divine soul to analyze and understanding, slowly comprehending the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation.

  In reality, Ye Yuan perceived it right after entering the formation. These sword puppets’ attacks looked disorderly, but in truth, they were adherent to rules.

  These sword puppets paired up together, forming nine attack points.

  After one team finished attacking, the second team would follow up seamlessly, followed by the third team, fourth team.

  This kind of attacks formed a subtle compounding, making the attacks progressively stronger!

  When the ninth team released their attack, the augmentation of the attacks would have already reached a very horrifying degree.

  Logically speaking, when the first team unleashed their attack should be when the array formation was at its weakest. But the truth was not this case.

  These 18 sword puppets’ cooperation was unbelievably ingenious. Talking about it was slow. In fact, the time between their attacks was extremely minute. Hence, forming a perfect circle, making every attack look so powerful!

  Of course, seeing through it was one thing, comprehending the array formation was another.

  Even a more secretive array formation would have its weak points. Even a messier hemp rope would have its head. But what Ye Yuan wanted to do now was to find this head within this perfect circle!

  As the saying went, pull one hair and the entire body is affected. As long as he found where the end of this circle was, he could take control of this grand array!

  But the cleverness of Lu Linfeng’s array formation lied in that this ‘rope head’ was hidden very deeply by him.

  Ye Yuan’s soul force already looked to be almost fully depleted, but he still had not found that rope head.

  Time trickled away, and Ye Yuan’s soul force was almost hitting rock bottom. His divine soul was already so fatigued that he was about to fall asleep.

  Once his soul force dried up, Ye Yuan only had the outcome of being dismembered by chaotic swords!

  “Not good! Ye Yuan, he can’t hold on much longer!” Mo Yuntian saw that Ye Yuan’s movements were somewhat irregular and immediately noticed that something was not right.

  Mei Zhen’s expression also changed greatly as he said solemnly, “Ye Yuan has only been evading up until now and did not exhaust much essence energy. Could it be . . . he has been using soul force the entire time?”

  “My god. Isn’t his control over soul force too precise? The radius it covers is only that small patch in the array formation?” Tian Yu cried out in shock.

  “What’s the point of talking about that now? No way, I have to go save Ye Yuan!” Mei Zhen could not sit still any longer. He could not watch Ye Yuan being dismembered by a mass of swords helplessly.

  Without any hesitation, Mei Zhen wielded his sword and was about to charge into the grand array.

  But just as he reached the borders of the grand array, Ye Yuan’s voice suddenly sounded out, “I’m fine! Don’t come over!”

  Regarding array formations, fully comprehending it and cracking it were two entirely different concepts. The degree of difficulty was not even on the same order of magnitude.

  Cracking was knowing the hows. Comprehending was knowing the hows and the whys.

  Just like humans knew that it was going to rain right from the start. But understanding the reason wasted far too much time.

  One had to acknowledge that Lu Linfeng’s array formation was seriously incomparably profound.

  Even if it was an array formation that he created thousands of years ago, wanting to comprehend it was also so hard.

  Ye Yuan used Heart Like Still Water State and completely drained his soul force, but he still could not find that ‘rope head.’

  Where is it? Where the hell is it?! Ye Yuan screamed inwardly.

  Following his soul force’s rapid consumption, Ye Yuan’s consciousness became increasingly blurry. All of his dodgings were now completely reliant on his body’s instinctive reactions.

  Ye Yuan felt anguished in his heart. Could this be it? Lu Linfeng, on the array formations path, I really still can’t beat you!

  Just as Ye Yuan’s soul force was about to be completely depleted, a golden text character suddenly lit up within Ye Yuan’s divine soul.

  It was as if Ye Yuan’s divine soul was being stabbed by a needle and he abruptly woke with a start.

  Then, Ye Yuan discovered to his delight that his divine soul was in the midst of recovering rapidly!

  At this precise moment, Ye Yuan noticed that Mei Zhen was just about to dash into the formation to save him. That was why he hurried said, “I’m fine! Don’t come over!”

  That golden word was the simplest character in the Medicine God’s Soul Canon. For the past few months, Ye Yuan had always been contemplating this character. He only vaguely grasped some things which could not be explained clearly.

  Ye Yuan frequently felt like he had grasped something. But in the end, discovered that he did not capture anything at all.

  He did not think that the character would actually give rise to such a miraculous effect at this time!

  After several breaths, Ye Yuan discovered that his divine soul had never been so full before. It had actually reached the perfect state of Alchemy Master!

  Introspecting his own divine soul, Ye Yuan could not help being unbelievably astonished. Because his divine soul was even more perfect than his previous life’s Alchemy Master time, and even more condensed and pure!

  At this time, Ye Yuan unwittingly recalled the words his father, Ji Zhengyang, said before he left. Could this be the situation that Father experienced before his death?

  “Turns out that the divine soul of Alchemy Masters can still go a step further. Although my current divine soul’s strength is still inferior to early-stage Alchemy Grandmasters, it’s like the impurities were completely removed; being reborn anew! This is the true Alchemy Master perfection! In my previous life, I cultivated to the Alchemy Emperor realm and did not even know that the divine soul of Alchemy Masters can actually reach this step!” Ye Yuan sighed emotionally.

  “Heh, Lu Linfeng, I won’t be courteous with your sword puppets! I’ll take them all!”

  After breaking through, Ye Yuan entered Heart Like Still Water State once again. And with the support of a perfect grade divine soul, Ye Yuan’s perception became even more acute this time.

  Sword shadows crisscrossed. Ye Yuan continuously stripped them, analyzed, and finally found some clues!

  “Turns out it’s like this! No wonder Lu Linfeng can affirm his Dao as the Grand Yan Divine King. Indeed, incomparable from normal people.”

  Ye Yuan’s eyes lit up, his figure pouncing towards one of the sword puppets like lightning.

  This sword puppet was precisely where the crux of the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation lied!

  With Ye Yuan’s formation path cultivation, he could discover the principle behind this array formation set very quickly. But finding this node expended far too much time.

  From a macroscopic view, this sword puppet was no different from other sword puppets.

  Sword art, moves, even the speed of unleashing its sword was exactly the same!

  But Ye Yuan discovered that when each round ended, the frequency pf which this sword puppet unleashed its sword would produce a trace of extremely min
ute fluctuation!

  It was precisely this hint of fluctuation that perfectly wrapped up the previous round of attacks and kick-started the next round of attacks.

  It looked simple, but wanting to find this hint of fluctuation within the limitless sword shadows was undoubtedly fishing for a needle in the ocean.

  Ye Yuan’s deduction abilities and perception strength was god know how many times stronger than Zhao Yuyang’s. But he nearly exhausted his soul force fully without finding this trace of fluctuation. One could tell how challenging that was.

  Ye Yuan dashed in front of that sword puppet very quickly, but that sword puppet did not detect it at all. It still brandished the long sword in its hands according to the routine.

  A series of overwhelmingly powerful attacks landed like raindrops where Ye Yuan stood but was dodged niftily by Ye Yuan.

  Right at this moment, that trace of fluctuation occurred once again.

  This was the time!

  Ye Yuan did not hesitate at all. Canghua Sword stabbed towards the sword puppet like lightning!

  This strike was fast and accurate. But the goal was not the sword puppet’s main body, but the long sword in its hands.

  Only to hear a clank, the sword puppet’s long sword was sent flying by Ye Yuan’s sword!

  The other sword puppets were brewing the next round of ferocious attacks. At this time, all of their movements stopped abruptly, pausing in mid-air.

  “Huuu . . .” Ye Yuan put away Canghua Sword and let out a long breath.

  “What happened? Could it be that these sword puppets exhausted all of their essence energy and can’t move anymore?” Tian Yu asked in bafflement.

  “Wrong! Ye Yuan made a move earlier. That was his first time making a move. Is it possible that . . . this was caused by him?” Mo Yuntian said.

  “No way, right? The only time he attacked, and he made all of the puppets stop and cease movement?”

  “This . . . I don’t know either. Maybe he cracked this formation?”

  Mei Zhen was also very bewildered. He cautiously made his way across those sword puppets rooted to the ground like wooden chickens and arrived in front of Ye Yuan.

  “Ye Yuan, are you alright?” Mei Zhen asked concernedly.

  “Still alright. Nearly bit off more than I can chew, haha.” Ye Yuan laughed wryly.

  Ye Yuan was also holding a grudge and wanted to pit against Lu Linfeng, but nearly bit off more than he could chew.

  But looking at it now, taking this risk was still worth it. Not only did Ye Yuan control these sword puppets fully, but he also fully comprehended the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation.

  With these sword puppets, even if Ye Yuan faced Sea Transformation Realm experts, he would also have no fear.

  Mei Zhen also heaved a sigh in relief and said, “It’s good that you’re okay, it’s good that you’re okay. Oh, right, what did you do earlier? What’s with these puppets?”

  Seeing Mei Zhen enquiring, Ye Yuan did not answer right away. Instead, he smiled and went in front of that sword puppet earlier and inserted his soul force inside.

  Although Lu Linfeng did not give Ye Yuan sword puppets, there was no shortage of bragging about it in front of him. Ye Yuan’s understanding towards sword puppets was also considerable.

  Controlling sword puppets was a task that exhausted the divine soul. Ye Yuan just had to leave his divine soul imprint inside the sword puppets to be able to control these sword puppets.

  But when Ye Yuan plunged his divine soul into the sword puppet’s sea of consciousness, his expression turned peculiar.

  A young apparition image appeared in front of Ye Yuan. Who could it be but Lu Linfeng that fellow?

  This virtual image was not Lu Linfeng’s divine soul imprint. It was only a remnant thought message that he left behind.

  It was very clear that Lu Linfeng wanted to tell his successor something through this remnant thought message.

  It was just that even if Lu Linfeng divined all of the heavens, he most likely could not have calculated that this successor would actually be the reincarnated Ji Qingyun!

  “Young friend, for you to be able to see me means that you have already acquired the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation’s true meaning and can be considered my legacy successor. If you can shatter the void and head to the Divine Realm in the future, you can come and find me to enter my tutelage. Remember, I’m Sage Grand Yan.”

  Just a short message. After it finished talking, that virtual image dissipated into nothing.

  “Young friend? Hehe, if you knew that it’s me who comprehended your Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation, I wonder what kind of expression you’ll have!” Ye Yuan snickered to himself.

  Actually, calculating it, it was justifiable for the Grand Yan Divine King to call Ye Yuan young friend. Because he was several thousand years older than Ye Yuan.

  But in his previous life, Ji Qingyun’s Alchemy Path strength surpassed all others. He naturally had the qualifications to talk as equals with Lu Linfeng.

  But in this lifetime, Ji Qingyun had already changed his looks and face. Even if he stood in front of Lu Linfeng, he probably would not be able to recognize him.

  Thinking up to here, Ye Yuan could not help overflowing with a surge of mischievousness.

  If Ye Yuan really went to acknowledge master when the time came, who knew if that fellow would really pass the Formations Path Nine Scripts to him?

  But Ye Yuan was rather surprised. Lu Linfeng actually left behind these 18 sword puppets in order to seek out a successor.

  It was also uncertain whether it was a spur of the moment or deliberate.

  Back then when Lu Linfeng ascended, he probably did not think that he could attain such heights in the Divine Realm either, right?

  Ye Yuan’s divine sense moved, the 18 sword puppets stirred once again, making Mei Zhen who was by the side jump in fright as he hurriedly raised his sword to welcome the enemy.

  Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “No need to get nervous, Elder Mei. These sword puppets won’t attack you.”

  Mei Zhen was stupefied. He understood very quickly and said in surprise, “Is it possible that . . . you were manipulating these puppets just now?”

  Ye Yuan nodded and said, “I’ve already fully comprehended this array formation. Now, these sword puppets have already acknowledged me as master.”

  “What? You only used four hours and already fully comprehended this array formations set?” Mei Zhen was terribly frightened by Ye Yuan’s words.

  In truth, Ye Yuan comprehending a set of array formations would not astound Mei Zhen to such an extent. But through comparison, he knew just how perverse this set of array formation was!

  The Absolute Blaze Barrier outside was a high Tier 4 grand array. Its might was unrivaled. Ye Yuan walked around inside such an array formation like it was flat ground.

  But Ye Yuan did not even have the confidence to crack the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation previously. One could imagine just how intricate this set of array formation was.

  Such a perverse array formation and Ye Yuan actually used only four hours to fully comprehend it. Wasn’t this sort of deduction ability overly perverse as well?

  One had to know that for an array master to want to comprehend a set of array formation, they would easily require several years’ time!

  Furthermore, the higher the array formation’s tier, the more time needed to perceive it.

  Using four hours to perceive a set of array formation even more complicated than a high Tier 4 grand array, this was simply not something that humans should be able to do!

  The others had also pretty much recovered at this time. Seeing Ye Yuan actually collect these sword puppets directly, they could not help being overjoyed.

  This was equivalent to their side having an additional Sea Transformation Realm powerhouse!

  Everyo
ne was just about to move a level down when a hubbub of voices sounded from outside the main hall.

  Mei Zhen involuntarily knitted his brows. “To think that they really walked out!”

  But Ye Yuan beamed and said, “They did come out. But I’m afraid that the price isn’t small either.”

  Just as he was speaking, a large group of people poured into the main hall. The one leading was precisely Wu Zhao.

  Behind Wu Zhao, the other Heavenly Sky Sect’s elder was supporting Zhao Yuyang. Zhao Yuyang actually fainted already.

  Looking at this scene, it seemed that he already completely exhausted his mind in order to calculate the Absolute Blaze Barrie Grand Array.

  The moment Wu Zhao entered the main hall, he saw Ye Yuan currently sizing up their bunch composedly. The flames of fury in his heart immediately welled up.

  “Hehe, punk, you probably never imagined either that we could walk out alive from the grand array, right?” Wu Zhao laughed coldly as he said to Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, “Not really. I just didn’t think that that elder from your family still has some capabilities, to be able to exit so quickly.”

  Wu Zhao’s face fell. “Since we walked out of the grand array, today will be the day you die! Not only you have to die, but the rest of the people from your Tranquil Cloud Sect all also have to accompany you in death! Mei Zhen, if you want to blame, then blame Ye Yuan!”

  Finished talking, Wu Zhao turned again to the other six sects and said, “Ye Yuan gave us the slip and nearly caused you all to perish and your Dao to dissipate! Attack for me and kill these damnable guys from the Tranquil Cloud Sect! Our Heavenly Sky Sect doesn’t want a single item on their bodies!”

  However . . . nobody answered him at all.

  Ye Yuan laughed when he saw the situation and said, “Looks like you did something that infuriates both God and men in order to pass through the grand array! Now, your Heavenly Sky Sect lost all favor and still hope for them to help you?”

  Ye Yuan simply swept a glance over these group of people and knew what happened inside the Absolute Blaze Barrier Grand array.
