Chapter 322: Message Remnant

For formations, fully comprehending and completely breaking them are two entirely different concepts, with difficulty levels that are not on the same scale.

Breaking is knowing what it is; comprehending is knowing why it is so.

Just as humans knew from the beginning that thunder and rain come from the sky, yet it took them an extremely long time to understand the reason.

It must be said that Lu Linfeng's formations were truly profound and marvelous.

Even the formations he created thousands of years ago were so difficult to comprehend.

Ye Yuan activated Heart Like Still Water and exhausted his soul power, yet still could not find that 'rope end.'

'Where is it, where exactly is it!' Ye Yuan cried out in his heart.

With the rapid depletion of soul power, Ye Yuan's consciousness grew increasingly blurred. All his evasions now relied entirely on his body's instinctive reactions.

Ye Yuan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart: 'Is this the end? Lu Linfeng, in the way of formations, I really cannot surpass you after all!'

Just as Ye Yuan's soul power was about to be completely exhausted, a golden character in his divine soul suddenly lit up.

Ye Yuan's divine soul felt as if pricked by a needle, jolting him awake.

Then Ye Yuan discovered with delight that his divine soul was rapidly recovering!

At that moment, Ye Yuan noticed Mei Zhen about to rush into the formation to save him, so he quickly said, 'I'm fine, don't come over!'

That golden character was the simplest one in the Medicine Soul Divine Canon. For months, Ye Yuan had been contemplating this character, vaguely grasping something indescribable.

Ye Yuan often felt he had caught hold of something, only to find in the end that he had caught nothing.

Unexpectedly, this time that character had played such a miraculous role!

After a few breaths, Ye Yuan found that his divine soul had never been so饱满, having reached the great圆满 state of a Pill Master!

Looking inward at his divine soul, Ye Yuan was also extremely surprised, because his divine soul was even more圆满 and more refined and condensed than when he was a Pill Master in his previous life!

At this moment, Ye Yuan couldn't help but recall the words his father Ji Zhengyang had said before leaving. Could this be the realm his father had achieved during his lifetime?

'So a Pill Master's divine soul can go even further. Although my current soul strength is slightly inferior to that of a初级 Great Pill Master, it is as if all impurities have been removed, reborn. This is the true great圆满 of a Pill Master! In my previous life, even when I cultivated to the Pill Emperor realm, I never knew a Pill Master's divine soul could reach this level!' Ye Yuan exclaimed.

'Hey, Lu Linfeng, I'll take all your sword puppets without courtesy!'

After the breakthrough, Ye Yuan once again entered the state of Heart Like Still Water. With the support of a圆满-level divine soul, his insight became even sharper.

Sword shadows crisscrossed, and Ye Yuan continuously stripped and analyzed them, finally finding a clue!

'So that's it! No wonder Lu Linfeng could attain the Dao as Grand衍 King; he is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.'

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and his figure darted like lightning toward one of the sword puppets.

This sword puppet was the key to the Small Nine Revolutions Linked Formation!

With Ye Yuan's formation cultivation, he could quickly understand the principle of this formation. However, finding this node had taken too much time.

From a macro perspective, this sword puppet was no different from the others.

The sword techniques, moves, and even the speed of the sword strikes were exactly the same!

But Ye Yuan discovered that at the end of each cycle, the frequency of this sword puppet's strikes produced an extremely subtle fluctuation!

It was this fluctuation that perfectly concluded the previous round of attacks and initiated the next round.

It seemed simple, but finding this fluctuation amidst the漫天 sword shadows was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Ye Yuan's deduction ability and insight were many times stronger than Zhao Yuyang's, yet he had nearly exhausted his soul power without finding this fluctuation, showing how difficult it was.

Ye Yuan quickly dashed to that sword puppet, but the puppet was unaware and continued swinging its long sword mechanically.

A round of overwhelmingly powerful attacks rained down on the spot where Ye Yuan stood, but he skillfully dodged them.

Just then, that fluctuation appeared again.

This was the moment!

Without any hesitation, Ye Yuan thrust his Canghua Sword at the sword puppet like lightning!

This strike was both fast and accurate, but the target was not the puppet itself, but the long sword in its hand.

With a 'ding,' the puppet's long sword was knocked flying by Ye Yuan's strike!

The other sword puppets were all brewing their next fierce attack, but now all their movements abruptly stopped, frozen in midair.

'Hoo...' Ye Yuan sheathed his Canghua Sword and let out a long breath.

'What's going on? Did these puppets run out of energy and stop on their own?' Tianyu asked in surprise.

'No! Ye Yuan just made a move. This is his first strike. Could it be... he did this?' Mo Yuntian said.

'No way? One single strike and all the puppets stopped moving?'

'This... I don't understand either. Could he have broken this formation?'

Mei Zhen was also very surprised. Carefully stepping past the dumbfounded sword puppets, he came to Ye Yuan.

'Ye Yuan, are you all right?' Mei Zhen asked with concern.

'I'm fine, but I almost went too far, heh.' Ye Yuan smiled wryly.

Ye Yuan had also been holding his breath, wanting to compete with Lu Linfeng, but nearly got himself into trouble.

But now it seemed the risk was worth it. Ye Yuan had not only fully mastered these sword puppets but also completely comprehended the Small Nine Revolutions Linked Formation.

With these sword puppets, Ye Yuan no longer feared even a Transformation Sea realm expert.

Mei Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief: 'It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine. By the way, what did you just do? What's going on with these puppets?'

Seeing Mei Zhen ask, Ye Yuan did not answer immediately. Instead, he smiled and walked to the sword puppet he had just struck, probing his soul power into it.

Although Lu Linfeng had not given Ye Yuan any sword puppets, he had often boasted about them in front of Ye Yuan, so Ye Yuan knew quite a bit about sword puppets.

Controlling sword puppets was a task that consumed divine soul. Ye Yuan only needed to leave his own soul imprint in the sword puppets to control them.

However, when Ye Yuan's soul probed into the puppet's sea of consciousness, his expression turned strange.

A young phantom appeared before Ye Yuan—who else could it be but that fellow Lu Linfeng?

This phantom was not Lu Linfeng's soul imprint, but merely a message remnant he had left behind.

Obviously, Lu Linfeng intended to use this message remnant to say something to later generations.

But Lu Linfeng, who could calculate all heavens, probably never expected that this later person would be the reincarnated Ji Qingyun!

'Young friend, since you can see me, it means you have fully grasped the essence of the Small Nine Revolutions Linked Formation and can be considered my true successor. If one day you can shatter the void and go to the Divine Realm, you can come find me and become my disciple. Remember, I am the Great衍 True Person...'

It was just a brief message. After speaking, the phantom dissipated into smoke.
