Chapter 606
Because Ziyu is more skilled in setting up large formations, while Chen Xuan is far too weak in both the time he has spent comprehending formations and his foundation in formations.
The main problem is that he's too young. Ziyu looks like a handsome young man in his early twenties, but judging from his strength at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he is at least a cultivator over a hundred years old.
And Chen Xuan? He's only eighteen years old?
At eighteen, he's competing with disciples of sects who have lived for over a hundred years in terms of their mastery of formations?
This is the reason for Jiang Tianxiao's depressed mood.
At this moment, nearly fifty people from both sides at the Pifu Realm focused their attention on Chen Xuan in the arena.
Chen Xuan glanced at the so-called triple formation set up by Zi Yu and smiled knowingly. Those familiar with Chen Xuan knew that he possessed the abilities of divine sense and the Heavenly Eye.
Chen Xuan could discern the so-called Black Mist Maze, the so-called Triple Array, and even the location of each array flag without entering the array.
With such an advantage, who wouldn't be happy?
"Come out." Chen Xuan waved his hand, and immediately thirty-six circular cyan array plates flew into the air in front of him like dazzling stars. As soon as the array plates appeared, Zi Yu's eyes narrowed. Clearly, this was the first time Zi Yu had seen such an array base, and he didn't understand it.
"Go, go, go!" Chen Xuan waved his hand, and immediately the thirty-six array plates that were floating in mid-air all fell towards the location Chen Xuan had chosen, like nimble birds. One by one, the array plates whistled and disappeared into the ground.
In terms of the coherence and technique of the formation, it was in no way inferior to Ziyu's. As the saying goes, an expert can see the details. Such skillful formation techniques completely stunned the Cangyunling disciples who had been mocking him.
What's going on? Why is it so smooth? Is this still the kind of formation technique that requires a huge amount of effort and resources to even barely get started? How can a mere kid, only at the Innate Realm, rival Senior Brother Ziyu in skill?
"My God? Senior Brother Hei Song, what's going on?" Zi Yun stared at Hei Song, wide-eyed. "He's actually a master of formations?"
"No way? At such a young age, his array-setting skills are already on par with Senior Brother Ziyu?"
"If we calculate it this way, doesn't that mean his aptitude for array formations is several times higher than Ziyu's?"
……
Hearing this, Hei Song frowned slightly. "Quiet down and let's see how things develop. We only have a superficial understanding of formations. As for whether he is a master of formations, I will have to enter the formation to find out."
"Yes, yes, the Jiang clan is just a small indigenous tribe."
“Yes, look how calm Senior Brother Ziyu is, he must have seen that this kid is all bark and no bite.”
"Activate the formation!" With the thirty-six formations perfectly set up, Chen Xuan gave the order, and immediately, wisps of white mist slowly rose in another area of thirty feet in radius, enveloping the earth like a mysterious veil.
Both formations were fully deployed and activated. Ziyu also shot out a finger, and a streak of fire flashed past the incense burner like a shooting star. The sandalwood incense stick was lit, and wisps of green smoke rose slowly, like ethereal mist.
"The duel begins!" Ziyu said to Chen Xuan. At this moment, Hei Song also arrived at Ziyu's side. Ziyu and Hei Song leaped to the edge of the formation set up by Chen Xuan, and then Ziyu sat cross-legged.
"Junior Brother Hei Song, you should enter the formation to test it out. We'll keep in touch, and I'll guide you from the outside to break the formation!"
After Hei Song nodded solemnly, his body, which had already returned to a normal human form, shone with divine radiance once more, transforming back into a six-meter-tall god-demon, standing on the earth like a majestic mountain peak.
"Enter the battle!"
"Ok!"
"Wow—"
After Hei Song unleashed his divine power 'Law of Heaven and Earth' once again, his strength increased dramatically, and his speed and defense also multiplied exponentially. He confidently charged directly into Chen Xuan's triple formation.
"Bai Li!" After watching Hei Song enter his formation with longing, Chen Xuan immediately called out to Bai Li.
"Ok!"
Bai Li and Chen Xuan arrived at Zi Yu's array together. Compared to Zi Yu and Hei Song, Chen Xuan and Bai Li didn't have such trouble. Bai Li simply hummed in agreement before disappearing into the black mist array before her.
Although Chen Xuan possessed divine sense and could open his Heavenly Eye, he couldn't show off too much. He could only imitate others by sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, making it seem as if he were truly comprehending Ziyu's great formation.
"Master, what should I do next?"
Bai Li's question echoed in his mind, and Chen Xuan replied, "You can play inside for a while. When I think it's about time, I'll tell you how to break the formation."
"Yes, Master. This formation is quite interesting. The first layer is a kind of maze, the second layer seems to be an illusion formation, and the third layer is a kind of killing formation. Many stones on the ground are attacking me right now. Each stone, under the enhancement of the formation, is no less powerful than the attack of a person in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm."
"Master, don't fall asleep. I want to use the attack methods of this great formation to hone my movement technique."
Bai Li's playful voice reached his ears, and Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Alright, have fun, I'll keep an eye on everything."
"Master is so nice, hee hee."
Chen Xuan and his servant communicated directly through a master-servant contract. Although Chen Xuan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, he wasn't actually trying to comprehend the formation. The two were incredibly relaxed and at ease.
The saying goes, "There is no harm without comparison."
At this moment, despite the surge in strength brought about by his divine and demonic body-refining technique, Hei Song remained hesitant and timid within the array that could draw upon the power of heaven and earth to create its might. Although his strength was temporarily comparable to that of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, the array drew upon the power of heaven and earth, and its transformation through the array was beyond human power to defy.
Hei Song was already in such a state. Zi Yu, who was also sitting cross-legged outside the formation with his eyes closed, now had fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He had thought he could easily handle Chen Xuan's triple formation based on his previous experience in breaking formations.
Because of this premise, even knowing that Chen Xuan was a formation master in the Jiang clan's camp, he still didn't take Chen Xuan seriously. However, after actually doing it, he was shocked.
What's going on? Why are the three great formations in front of me different from the three formations I've been trying to comprehend for so long? This difference isn't that the formations are different, but rather that the energy flow of the three formations in front of me is different from the three great formations I've tried to break before.
In this way, he would have to abandon his previous experience in understanding the formation and start from scratch to decipher its mysteries, so that he could find the foundation of the formation and break it one by one.
"Impossible. I, Ziyu, have studied array formations for over a hundred years, and with the help of the sect's Daoist archives, I have read through a large number of array formation texts. Even so, I have only just mastered seven or eight array formations. How could he, a young man, who is only at the Innate Realm, have mastered six major array formations to perfection in just eighteen years?"
An expert's analysis is truly different. Analyzing it from the perspective of formations, Ziyu was genuinely sweating profusely.
Eighteen years?
It seems Chen Xuan has to start counting from a fertilized egg.
But obviously not.
That means that this young man, who called himself Beiming, mastered all six major formations in just about ten years.
"Impossible. He's just a native, how could he possibly be better than someone from a collateral branch of my sect?"
