Hence, Lu Linfeng set up such an Array Formations Three Volumes consciousness space to let descent disciples enter inside to comprehend.
But Ye Yuan already fully comprehended this Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation, so he naturally did not need to waste any more time.
But the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation here was quite a bit more profound than the one Ye Yuan comprehended.
Evidently, Lu Linfeng's comprehension of it before ascending went up another level.
Ye Yuan spent an hour's time to fully comprehend the improved Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation.
His divine sense willed and he withdrew out of this consciousness space.
When Wei Xiao saw Ye Yuan exit, he enquired with a smile, "How do you feel, young man? Comprehending formations is extremely time-consuming. There's simply no way to accomplish it at one stroke. You'd better stay here to cultivate diligently and slowly comprehend it!"
Ye Yuan flashed a brilliant beam and said, "Feels very simple! Old Wei, I'll go comprehend the next array formation!"
Finished talking, Ye Yuan came directly in front of the second stone volume and sunk his divine sense into it once again, leaving Wei Xiao with a frozen look on his face.
The corner of Wei Xiao's mouth twitched twice, and his expression became odd.
Simple?
This boy is putting up a front in order to look impressive, right?
Originally, I still thought that this boy was rather reliable. Why does he look increasingly less trustworthy now?
Would the things left behind by a heaven-defying character like Founding Father be simple?
One had to know that Founding Father was only at the Divine Traversing Realm when he ascended. But he had already created a Tier 6 array formation like the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array!
Wei Xiao's face unwittingly showed thick disappointment. Seemed like he still needed to use some means to make this boy study the Array Formations Three Volumes in a down-to-earth manner.
But he had already stayed in the Grand Yan Space for thousands of year. There was no rush to do it now.
After entering the second array formation, Ye Yuan's pressure clearly became much greater.
Of course, that was with respect to the first array formation.
Comprehending the array formation in this consciousness space was vastly different from the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation comprehended previously.
At that time, the pressure that those sword puppets gave Ye Yuan was huge. Ye Yuan needed to place most of his energy on dealing with the sword puppets.
But in here, not only were there no threats from sword puppets, Lu Linfeng even broke down the array formation into each individual, most basic array element. Ye Yuan comprehending it was naturally twice the result with half the effort.
This second array formation was none other than the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array!
To be able to seal off the passageway between two worlds, this Six Extreme Seals Grand Array was obviously impossibly powerful, and also exceptionally profound and complex!
Ye Yuan spent a full half days' time to fully comprehend it as well.
One had to know that Ye Yuan only spent four hours on comprehending the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation.
This to others was a result to be extremely proud of. But to Ye Yuan, it was not something worth flaunting much.
After all, this was only the array formation that Lu Linfeng left behind before ascending. While it was already powerful to the extreme in the lower planes, to Ye Yuan this Tier 9 formations master, the difficulty was not that great.
If Ye Yuan was made to comprehend the Formations Path Nine Scripts, he reckoned that without one or two decades, it would be hard to have minor accomplishments in it.
The Grand Yan Divine King's present strength was far more than a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than when he ascended.
The degree of complexity of the Formations Path Nine Scripts was simply incomparable to this Array Formation Three Volumes.
Ye Yuan's divine sense withdrew again. He noticed that the eyes Wei Xiao looked at him with became somewhat different; an exasperated look like he failed to live up to expectations.
"What? The Six Extreme Seals Grand Array is also very simple? The time spent this time is a little longer eh?"
Ye Yuan could noticeably tell that Wei Xiao's words carried thick disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.
He laughed and said, "En, en, also not too difficult either. Let's talk again after I finish comprehending the third set of array formations first.
Wei Xiao's eyes opened wide as he said, "You're not saying that you've already fully comprehended the first two array formations, right?"
"Hur hur, yeah."
With that, Ye Yuan's divine sense sunk one more time into the third stone volume . . .
Wei Xiao was so angered that he nearly cuffed Ye Yuan's ears. He said huffily, "This child can't be taught! If the Array Formations Three Volumes are so easy to comprehend, then wouldn't my Grand Yan True Sect be a joke?!"
It was just that Ye Yuan's divine sense had already sunk into the stone book and could not hear his words.
The third set of array formation, Ye Yuan spent an entire day!
This was an illusionary array named Asura Confounding Formation.
This Asura Confounding Formation was only a Tier 5 array formation. But the comprehending difficulty was even greater than the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array!
When he finished comprehending this set of array formation, Ye Yuan also felt like collapsing.
Although this set of array formation was an illusionary array, the danger level was absolutely even greater than the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation!
It was just that with Ye Yuan's current strength, he was simply unable to set it up.
But having finished comprehending these three sets of array formations, Ye Yuan also had a clear understanding of Lu Linfeng's array formation system.
His Formations Path Nine Scripts should have been progressively developed and evolved from these three sets of array formations.
Wei Xiao saw Ye Yuan's dog-tired appearance, he did not have the slightest hint of pity. He said in an icy tone, "Young man, already know how daunting it is? Don't reach for what's beyond your grasp as a person. This Array Formations Three Volumes is enough for you to digest for the rest of your life!"
Chapter 341 - Being Enlightened
Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "But these three array formations really aren't hard!"
The disappointment on Wei Xiao's face grew even thicker. "Still being stubborn! These three array formations are where the essence of Founding Father's formation path lies. You, a tiny little Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, actually dare to outrageously say that it's simple? Truly unaware of how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"
Ye Yuan was helpless. He knew that no matter how he explained, this old fellow would not believe it either.
Nonchalantly taking out a pile of low-grade essence crystals, Ye Yuan said to Wei Xiao with a smile, "Old Wei, look closely!"
Finished talking, Ye Yuan casually struck out those low-grade essence crystals around the vicinity of a peach tree.
As the last piece of essence crystal got in position, those essence crystals suddenly lit up, and actually flew on their own, surrounding that peach tree as they spun.
Finally, the brilliant rays of light radiated by those essence crystals covered the peach tree.
After a few moments, the l.u.s.ter dissipated completely. That peach tree did not exist anymore. It was actually utterly obliterated already!
Wei Xiao's face was filled with astoundment!
His shock was obviously not because of the peach tree's annihilation but due to the array formation that Ye Yuan laid out!
"This is the simplified version of the Lesser Nine Revolutions Interlocking Formation," Ye Yuan said.
As he said, he took
out another pile of low-grade essence crystals and casually struck them out.
A huge commotion of light like before, but it thoroughly isolated the peach tree.
"This is the simplified Six Extreme Seals Grand Array," Ye Yuan continued saying.
Ye Yuan was still waiting to lay out the Asura Confounding Formation when he was halted by Wei Xiao. "No need, no need anymore! I-I believe you! But, h-how is this possible?"
Wei Xiao's gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was like he had seen a ghost. Wei Xiao had stayed in this place for thousands of years and was all too familiar with these three sets of array formations.
Although the simplified array formations did not have such incredible might, the principle was the same.
Ye Yuan's technique when laying out the formation flowed smoothly and naturally. Clearly, he was already crystal clear with the array formations.
Wei Xiao only gradually digested this outcome after a long while. Except, the bewildered look on his face grew even thicker.
"Back then, the prodigious sect master took five hundred years to comprehend 50% - 60% of the Array Formations Three Volumes. You're only at the Spirit Condensation Realm. You . . . How did you do it?" Wei Xiao was even somewhat tongue-tied when speaking.
Ye Yuan put on an innocent face and said, "I don't know either. I just looked at it like that and understood it."
Ye Yuan was also not deliberately trying to anger Wei Xiao. He could not very well say that he was a Tier 9 array master in his previous life and understanding Tier 5 or Tier 6 array formations was not all that difficult, right?
But Wei Xiao was still riled. The expression on his face right now was fascinating to the extreme. If he was not a soul body currently, he would probably spew out three liters of blood, right?
What did he mean by just looked at it like that and understood it?
Something that others might not necessarily comprehend even if they spent hundreds and thousands of years, you understood after looking for less than two days. Do you still want people to live?
The one Wei Xiao admired most in this lifetime was Sect Master. But looking at it now, there was utterly no way of comparing Sect Master to this youth in front of him!
This was too depressing!
Nothing was more dismal than your idol being defeated!
This sentence from Ye Yuan also blocked off all of Wei Xiao's questions.
I'm just this much of a genius. No other reason. Things that were as hard as climbing up to the sky to others was as simple as turning over my hand to me. What did you want to ask?
At this instant, Wei Xiao really felt like he was an old person smacked down by the new generation.
"Alright then, since you've already comprehended the Array Formations Three Volumes, follow me now."
Ye Yuan followed Wei Xiao back to the study. Wei Xiao beckoned with one hand. A small and exquisite flag cut through the air into Ye Yuan's hand.
Wei Xiao said, "This is my Grand Yan True Sect's Sect Master's token. With it around, my Grand Yan True Sect's legacy will never be extinguished! In the future, when you look for a successor, pass these three sets of array formations and this flag to him, and it will be considered as fulfilling my long-cherished wish!"
Ye Yuan played around with the flag and exclaimed with some surprise, "This flag is actually a profound artifact!"
Wei Xiao nodded and said, "That's right. This is an array formation profound artifact named Profound Water Flag. Using it can raise the speed of you setting up array formations by 50%. Tier 3 and below array formations can be instantly formed through the flag!"
The larger scale the array formation, the longer the set up time.
It was already very heaven-defying for this flag to be able to raise the speed of setup by 50%.
Ye Yuan said in delight, "Excellent stuff!"
"Additionally, your realm is too low. This Grand Yan Space still has an array formation setup within it. Its name is Enlightening Formation. As for what realm you can break through to, that will have to depend on yourself," Wei Xiao explained.
"En? That's excellent! Thank you very much, Old Wei! Let's hurry up and begin! My fellow disciples' life and death are currently unknown. I'm very worried about their safety and want to go back quickly." Ye Yuan gave thanks to him.
Wei Xiao nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll activate the array formation now!"
Wei Xiao brought Ye Yuan to a hidden room and made Ye Yuan enter it. The array formation activated and then colossal amounts of essence energy began to gather within the secret room!
Enlightening Formation was an array formation even higher rank than the Spirit Gathering Formation. It could amass enormous amounts of essence energy instantaneously and provide it for martial artists endlessly; just like swallowing cultivation medicinal pills non-stop!
Soon enough, layers of fog appeared inside the hidden room. The thick essence energy had already condensed to form mist!
Ye Yuan absorbed the essence energy greedily into his body and refined them.
In truth, ever since divine soul perfection previously, Ye Yuan could have taken advantage of the momentum to break through to the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. But he kept lacking the opportunity.
Now that he was refining essence energy unceasingly, the spirit liquid within his body condensed with exceptional speed. Very soon, he broke through the bottleneck for the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!
Outside the formation, Wei Xiao was astonished once again. "Why would this boy absorb so much essence energy to break through to the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm? Furthermore, his breakthrough to the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm actually did not have any hints of a bottleneck! Looks like his cultivation realm comprehension had long surpassed the standards of Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. This boy is truly remarkable!"
At this time, Wei Xiao no longer doubted Ye Yuan's degree of genius.
And right then, the spirit liquid within Ye Yuan's Dantian became increasingly more satiated and gradually reach a saturated state!
Peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!
The next step was condensing and forming crystal!
Right at this moment, the cultivation method that Ye Yuan was revolving changed quietly!
The Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art's human chapter's third level cultivation law revolved in full force! He actually wanted to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm directly!
"What? Does he want to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm right away? Too reckless! He went from the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm to Peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. In between, he crossed an entire minor realm. He actually didn't even consolidate his realm and didn't cross it from Half-Step Crystal Formation Realm, breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm directly. Seriously too reckless!" Wei Xiao was frightened by Ye Yuan's act.
He made Ye Yuan enter this formation to let him break through to Peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, not to let him break through to the Crystal Formation Realm directly.
Who knew that this boy kept doing some unimaginable things? Without even catching his breath, he broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm directly!
Ye Yuan did not have so many misgivings and completely did not plan on crossing from Half-Step Crystal Formation Realm either. He planned on breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm right from the start!
Chapter 342 - Nine-Nine Return to One, Crystal Formation Realm!
Ye Yuan already laid his foundation extremely solid during the Spirit Condensation Realm. Breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm now was something that happened without effort.
Sometimes, breaking through realms also needed to be done in a single vigorous effort. Being overly cautious would adversely affect the success rate of breaking through instead.
When Ye Yuan broke through to the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he already acc.u.mulated this momentum to the peak condition.
Choosing to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm right now was the best option!
Nine-nine, 1 81 spirit liquid drops seethed inside Ye Yuan's dantian. Ye Yuan's aura rose continuously without pause!
Under the guidance of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, these nine-nine, 81 spirit liquid drops, actually started revolving in high speed inside Ye Yuan's dantian!
At this time, Ye Yuan did not compress the spirit liquid within his dantian but circulated these spirit liquid to let them swim inside his meridians!
The revolving spirit liquid gradually formed a vortex. The more it revolved, the faster it went! The more it revolved, the lesser it became!
That vortex shrunk at a speed discernible to the n.a.k.e.d eye. All the spirit liquid transformed into essence energy inside Ye Yuan's body and begun circulating.
Finally, that vortex shrunk to the limit, virtually disappearing.
"Nine-nine return to one! Condense!" Ye Yuan howled.
An extremely soft splitting sound seemed to have come from inside the dantian.
Looking over closely, Ye Yuan's dantian actually had an additional extremely tiny crystal. And that crystal was still revolving at high speeds.
Right at this moment, the essence energy within Ye Yuan's body just happened to finish circulating one complete cycle, returning to the dantian once more.
When the essence energy returned to the dantian, it was immediately drawn in by the crystal, circling one round around the crystal before flowing towards the meridians once again.
And at this time, that tiny crystal expanded by a bit!
"This brat, such a large commotion breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm?" Wei Xiao involuntarily furrowed his brows.
The essence energy inside the array formation poured into Ye Yuan's body crazily, but Ye Yuan took it all in.
The essence energy was like floodwaters that opened the gate, filling Wei Xiao who was watching with apprehension.
Ye Yuan's body was akin to a bottomless pit. No matter how the floodwater poured in, it could not be filled!
