Chapter 1183: The Predestined One

Everyone looked, and that space seemed empty, completely transparent.

But the fluctuations faintly emanating from it were startling.

They knew that Grand衍 Divine King and Lingtian Divine King were engaged in a fierce battle within the formation.

Suddenly, the fluctuations intensified severalfold!

“Hmm? What’s going on? The power of the formation seems to have increased!”

“It is said that Grand衍 Divine King’s ‘Nine Scrolls of Formation Dao’ can evolve into eighty-one peak ninth-grade formations. Every nine of these formations stacked together form one scroll of the Nine Scrolls. Against ordinary Void Profound experts, one scroll is enough. The fluctuations just now must have reached six scrolls! Now… could it have broken through to seven scrolls?”

“Don’t forget, Ye Yuan is also a ninth-grade formation emperor, extremely skilled in formation dao!”

“It seems Lingtian Divine King has caused Grand衍 Divine King no small trouble!”

…

With the seventh layer of formations added, Ye Yuan immediately felt the pressure double!

Although Ye Yuan’s formation attainments were already extremely strong, compared to Grand衍 Divine King, who had comprehended formation dao for millennia, he was still slightly inferior.

However, Ye Yuan’s advantage lay in his clear understanding of Lu Linfeng’s methods.

The ‘Nine Scrolls of Formation Dao’ was originally an advanced version of the ‘Three Volumes of Formation Dao’. Although their power was incomparable, the ‘Three Volumes of Formation Dao’ was the foundation of the ‘Nine Scrolls of Formation Dao’.

Ye Yuan had received the inheritance of the ‘Three Volumes of Formation Dao’, fully mastered it, and even deduced the ‘Nine-Nine Illusory Spirit Heavenly Slaying Formation’ from it!

Although he could not break the ‘Nine Scrolls of Formation Dao’, Lu Linfeng himself was equally miserable.

He thought six layers of the ‘Nine Scrolls of Formation Dao’ would be enough to deal with Ye Yuan, but he sadly discovered that his formations were like a transparent person before Ye Yuan.

Those hidden killing intents, Ye Yuan could see through at a glance!

Seven layers, still not enough!

Eight layers, still not enough!

“Tsk tsk, old man, your formation dao has improved greatly over the years!” Ye Yuan said leisurely.

One sentence nearly made Lu Linfeng spit blood from anger.

“You brat are truly monstrous! What have you experienced in these twenty-plus years? Not only has your martial dao reached the pinnacle, but your formation dao is also catching up to me! Enough, since eight layers can’t do anything to you, let me show you the power of the ninth layer!”

As he said this, Lu Linfeng’s heart was collapsing.

In all these years, no one had ever forced him to this point.

But just as he was about to unleash the ninth layer of the ‘Nine Scrolls of Formation Dao’, Ye Yuan suddenly said, “No need. I can’t withstand the ninth layer. Let’s stop here. Tell that Purple Extreme Divine King to stay far away and not provoke me, or else my sword will show no mercy!”

Even with thousands of years of composure, Lu Linfeng was driven to collapse by Ye Yuan’s words.

You start a fight when you want, and stop when you want?

However, Lu Linfeng did stop.

He was very curious about how Ye Yuan had managed it.

He had long noticed that Ye Yuan’s understanding of the ‘Nine Scrolls of Formation Dao’ was beyond imagination.

It seemed to share the same lineage as his!

He also realized that Ye Yuan’s formation level was still far behind his.

But Ye Yuan’s technique had the effect of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds.

The ‘Nine Scrolls of Formation Dao’, so mysterious in the eyes of the world, seemed like a naked woman before Ye Yuan, with no secrets at all.

Lu Linfeng’s figure appeared, his expression slightly dark as he looked at Ye Yuan and said, “Did you deliberately provoke me into making a move?”

Ye Yuan smiled and said, “A mere Duan Zhengxiao, do you think I would care about him?”

Ye Yuan’s words were arrogant, but he had the capital to be arrogant.

The Tenth Divine King, lofty in others’ eyes, was nothing but a rookie Ye Yuan could kill at any moment.

“Where did you learn the ‘Nine Scrolls of Formation Dao’?” Lu Linfeng asked solemnly.

“You know, back then I asked you to teach me the ‘Nine Scrolls of Formation Dao’, but you were too stingy to share. Did you ever dream that I would obtain the inheritance of the ‘Three Volumes of Formation Dao’?” Ye Yuan said with a half-smile.

Lu Linfeng’s expression changed, and he said in surprise, “So you were reborn in the Boundless Realm!”

With Ye Yuan’s words, how could he not understand?

The ‘Three Volumes of Formation Dao’ had only been left in the Grand衍 True Sect in the Boundless Realm.

Ye Yuan had obtained the inheritance, so he must have been reborn in the Boundless Realm.

The expression on Lu Linfeng’s face was very interesting. He had never dreamed that, by a twist of fate, Ye Yuan would be reborn in his homeland and obtain his formation inheritance.

Seeing Lu Linfeng’s expression, Ye Yuan felt a secret thrill!

This guy, back then when he begged him desperately, he put on an air of profundity, which made Ye Yuan very unhappy.

When he first obtained the ‘Three Volumes of Formation Dao’, Ye Yuan had fantasized about Lu Linfeng’s expression today.

Now seeing him indeed look like he had swallowed a fly, Ye Yuan could hardly help laughing heartily.

“You left behind three stone scrolls back then, waiting for a predestined one. Did you ever dream that this predestined one would be me?” Ye Yuan said with a laugh.

Lu Linfeng: “…”

“Oh, right, there’s this too!”

Ye Yuan raised his palm, and a miniature Haotian Stele appeared in his hand.

Lu Linfeng’s expression froze, and he said in astonishment, “Haotian Stele! You… you actually obtained the Haotian Stele! Then the Haotian Tower…”

A flash of light in Ye Yuan’s hand, and the Haotian Stele flew into a small tower—the Haotian Tower.

“Now, I am the master of the Haotian Tower!” Ye Yuan said with a grin.

Lu Linfeng: “…”

He was truly speechless. This brat had come specifically to disgust him.

Back then, he had only reached the seventh floor of the Haotian Tower, but Ye Yuan had uprooted the entire tower.

He had left the ‘Three Volumes of Formation Dao’ for a predestined one, hoping to take a disciple, but that person turned out to be Ye Yuan!

This… this was truly the irony of fate!

After a long silence, Lu Linfeng sighed deeply and said, “Is the Grand衍 True Sect still well? Thousands of years have passed, and I even forgot I once left that inheritance. I never expected…”

Lu Linfeng’s ascension to the Divine Realm had also been fraught with hardships.

No matter how talented a person, to reach Lu Linfeng’s height, they must have endured much tempering.

By the time he truly rose to become a giant of the divine path, it was already two thousand years later.

By then, the Grand衍 True Sect was nothing but an ant-like existence, and he never bothered to care.

But now, hearing Ye Yuan mention it, it stirred Lu Linfeng’s memories.

Ye Yuan sighed and said, “The Grand衍 True Sect was destroyed five thousand years ago!”

Lu Linfeng trembled all over and said, “What did you say?”

Ye Yuan did not hide anything and recounted the invasion of the Gale Realm and the Grand衍 True Sect’s sacrifice, which left Lu Linfeng deeply moved.

“So that’s how it is. It seems I should not have left a legacy in the Boundless Realm back then!” Lu Linfeng sighed, then gave Ye Yuan a meaningful glance.
