Chapter 1992 - 1993: Formation Dao Advancement! First Update

For several days in a row, Ye Qiu was immersed in the Dao of formations every day, constantly studying formations.

Some parts, Ye Qiu could understand, while others completely baffled him, and sometimes he would spend an entire day researching the incomprehensible parts, experimenting repeatedly.

Fortunately, practice leads to true understanding. Through repeated exercises of formations, the parts he didn’t understand were soon grasped by Ye Qiu, and his achievements in array mastery kept improving.

If Ye Qiu was previously like a beginner in formation arts, after specializing in the grand Dao formations, his mastery was now not weaker than those who had been studying formations since childhood.

Moreover, Ye Qiu’s diligence continued every day.

He was like a sponge, constantly absorbing water, making himself more full.

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

Ye Qiu finally emerged from this immersion in formation arts, his face unshaven for a long time, and during this period, he hadn’t eaten anything, subsisting entirely on fasting.

With his current strength, even not eating for several months wouldn’t starve him, as his dantian had enough energy to maintain the vitality of his body.

Finding a pond, Ye Qiu jumped in, enjoying a refreshing bath, and then used the Shadowless Saber he obtained from the shadows to shave.

After changing into clean clothes, Ye Qiu’s entire temperament changed significantly.

Now, he looked cleaner and more mature.

"I wonder what’s going on outside now? The matter of the inheritance should be over by now." Ye Qiu speculated about the situation outside. Right now, in the mountains, he knew nothing about the outside world and could only rely on intuition to speculate.

Then, Ye Qiu thought of his teacher Zhuang Miao Shan. Zhuang Miao Shan had gone looking for a great opportunity for him, but several months had passed and there was no sign of his teacher returning.

Ye Qiu was not worried about Zhuang Miao Shan’s safety. After all, Zhuang Miao Shan was also a Supreme Saint, and ordinary people couldn’t do anything to him.

Ye Qiu decided to continue staying in the mountains to comprehend formations, putting other matters aside for the time being.

Next, Ye Qiu studied various formations such as teleportation arrays and Spirit Gathering Arrays with great curiosity.

When someone is fully immersed in something, time passes quickly. His achievements in formations continued to grow, and without realizing it, Ye Qiu was already able to lay down formations capable of trapping Supreme Saints.

This made Ye Qiu extremely delighted. He hadn’t expected that, while his martial arts hadn’t yet reached a level to rival Supreme Saints, he had instead made a breakthrough in formation arts.

The reason for such rapid progress was naturally due to the existence of the ’Grand Dao Formations.’ Of course, it also had much to do with Ye Qiu’s talent and hard work; without any of these factors, he wouldn’t have achieved his current success.

"As long as I am well-prepared, even Supreme Saints can be stopped by me." Ye Qiu’s eyes sparkled. The improvement in formations gave Ye Qiu a significant boost in confidence. Previously, he was no match for Supreme Saints at their peak, and even the weakest, regressed Supreme Saints required great effort and some luck to kill.

But now it was completely different. He could fully prepare in advance, lay down formations early, then lure the Supreme Saints into the formation and activate the grand array.

"Trapping Supreme Saints with a formation is no longer a problem; next, I should study more killing formations."

With substantial progress, Ye Qiu shifted his focus to killing formations so that once he had mastered formations capable of annihilating Supreme Saints, he need not fear any martial artist of the Saint level.

Ye Qiu began researching killing formations.

However, on the seventh day of delving into killing formations, a person’s arrival disrupted Ye Qiu’s cultivation.

...

Tens of thousands of miles away.

An expanse of marshland stretches for miles, surrounded by this kind of environment.

Tall reeds grow around the marsh, over a person’s height, and on some ground surfaces, it’s impossible to tell it’s a marsh until stepping onto it reveals the treacherous nature of the surface.

For ordinary people, a marsh is an area to be avoided at all costs because getting stuck in it spells certain death, and struggling only hastens one’s demise.

Thus, this area is desolate, uninhabited, with no visitors, compounded by the occasional foul stench wafting from the swamp, making even martial artists reluctant to live here.

A figure fled in distress, carrying an originally strong aura, but now gravely injured. After taking one look at the surroundings, he immediately hid behind a clump of reeds.

Just as his figure hid, several figures appeared in succession, landing on this sparsely populated land.

These figures quickly scanned their surroundings, spotting no figure, yet intuitively knowing that the target must be hiding somewhere.

"Zhuang Miao Shan, I know you’re hiding nearby. Do you think you can escape from us?"

The speaker had a cold face, dressed in a pale blue long robe, with white shoes devoid of any dust.

However, what drew attention most was his eyebrows, exuding a murderous aura. These were sinister eyebrows, and those with such eyebrows were naturally callous, capricious, and filled with killing intent.

"Jiu Jue brother, is this necessary? Let me set these reeds on fire. I don’t believe he won’t come out," someone suggested, pointing out that their quarry was indeed Zhuang Miao Shan, revealing that it was the Supreme Saint Jiu Jue who was chasing him.

The reason the Supreme Saint Jiu Jue was targeting Zhuang Miao Shan was naturally because of a prior incident.

Zhuang Miao Shan was Ye Qiu’s teacher, and at that time, he blocked the Supreme Saint Jiu Jue’s actions. The Supreme Saint Jiu Jue naturally wouldn’t let it rest. Upon hearing Jiu Jue wanted to secure a place on the path to the star river, he gathered a few allies to eliminate Zhuang Miao Shan.

Both were Supreme Saints, and if they fought one-on-one, the outcome would be uncertain. But with Jiu Jue inviting two other Supreme Saints, the advantage naturally tilted in his favor.

The Supreme Saint Jiu Jue shook his head, saying indifferently, "There’s no need for that. Since I’m going to act against him, I can find him even if he’s hiding thousands of meters underground. No need to rush. I’ll make him show himself."

"Alright, as soon as he appears, we’ll assist you, Jiu Jue brother, in killing him," another Supreme Saint said.

This time, the three Supreme Saints were harboring murderous intent toward Zhuang Miao Shan, ensuring that it would be a lethal ordeal.

Even though Zhuang Miao Shan was a Supreme Saint, the odds were against him.

Jiu Jue stared at the swaying reeds of the marsh, saying calmly, "Zhuang Miao Shan, you should know why I’m targeting you. Since you insist on protecting that disciple of yours, I can only find a way to eliminate you."

"You can remain silent and continue to hide; we have plenty of time."

Jiu Jue released a sinister smile: "Perhaps you don’t know yet, but the precious disciple you wish to protect is currently heading to the trap we’ve set. It won’t be long before you and your disciple will meet underground."
