Chapter 339: The Three Volumes of Array Formations

"Old Wei has been stuck here for thousands of years; this solitude alone is enough to match those who died in battle back then," Ye Yuan comforted him.

Wei Xiao must not have hidden in this Dayan Space just to avoid the chaos of war; there must be some steadfast purpose.

Wei Xiao sighed again and said, "Now that the Six Extremities Sealing Grand Array has been broken, the Boundless Realm will inevitably fall into war again. But in this age, who can once again deploy the Six Extremities Sealing Grand Array? Enough, enough, this is a matter for after my time; let you young people worry about it!"

His gaze fell on Ye Yuan, and he continued, "Since you have already comprehended the second-layer array and found the entrance to the Dayan Space, it shows you are a person of destiny. The inheritance of my Dayan True Sect must be carried on by you!"

Hearing Wei Xiao's words, Ye Yuan's expression turned strange again.

Back then, he had sought Lu Linfeng's "Nine Scrolls of Array Dao" but failed; who knew that times would change, and now he had become his successor, his disciple's disciple.

If he ever saw Lu Linfeng in the Divine Realm, would he mock himself?

At the thought of Lu Linfeng's smug smile, the corners of Ye Yuan's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Seeing Ye Yuan's expression, Wei Xiao thought Ye Yuan was unwilling to accept the Dayan True Sect's inheritance, so he urged, "What? Are you unwilling? Young man, do you know what the inheritance of my Dayan True Sect means?"

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Old Wei has already told me before; how could I not know?"

"If so, what other concerns do you have?" Wei Xiao's expression turned displeased.

At the height of the Dayan True Sect's glory, it had one sect with six Sovereigns—a lineup rarely seen throughout history.

Such a formidable inheritance would have moved others to tears of gratitude, yet this young man looked utterly reluctant.

Ye Yuan grumbled inwardly: No matter how brilliant you old man are, you can't guess what my concern is!

If he met that old fellow Lu Linfeng in the Divine Realm in the future, would he have to bow deeply and call him "Grandmaster"?

Just thinking about it felt absurd!

Even if he dared to bow, would that old fellow dare to accept it?

Ahem, come to think of it, maybe... no, he definitely would dare to accept!

Hey, whatever, when the time comes, I'll just play rogue and deny it; what can that old fellow do to me!

"Old Wei misunderstands. You don't know, but I am a disciple of the Nethercloud Sect, one of the eight great sects in the Southern Domain, and I have a master. I'm afraid..." Ye Yuan made up an excuse.

Hearing this, Old Wei was not angry but nodded approvingly. "Your respect for your master and your principles show that you are worthy of my trust! Rest assured, I won't ask you to join the Dayan True Sect, but you must promise me that you will find a successor in the future to pass on the legacy of my Dayan True Sect!"

Ye Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Naturally, I thank Old Wei in advance!"

Seeing Ye Yuan's genuine emotion, Wei Xiao praised him inwardly: It's rare for a young man to be so respectful to his master; he must be a man of integrity!

Little did Wei Xiao know that Ye Yuan had no sectarian bias at all.

He didn't care who his master was, as long as he didn't have to call that old man Lu Linfeng "Grandmaster."

Just thinking of Lu Linfeng's smug look made Ye Yuan feel disgusted.

Since Ye Yuan didn't have to join the Dayan True Sect, he naturally wouldn't have to call him Grandmaster, so his joy was genuine.

However, Ye Yuan was not a man without integrity; he would certainly fulfill what he promised Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. Since you passed all the trials and came here, you are the one chosen by my Dayan True Sect. I have waited here for thousands of years just for you."

"Hmm? Does Old Wei mean... the various arrays in this secret realm were designed to select a successor?" Ye Yuan was perceptive and, recalling the journey, had a flash of insight.

Wei Xiao nodded with a smile. "Naturally! After the Six Extremities Sealing Grand Array was completed, the sect master set up this selection method before his death! Those who pass all the trials and enter here are the successors of my Dayan True Sect!"

Ye Yuan couldn't help but marvel. The sect master of the Dayan True Sect was indeed a rare genius, with ingenuity and power that few could match.

The entire secret realm was surrounded by the Heavenly Thunder Locking Yuan Grand Array, which on one hand prevented high-level martial artists from entering and destroying the seal, and on the other hand lowered the age and realm of those who could be selected.

The trapping array in the Misty Forest was also extremely profound; without exceptional attainments in array dao, one could never get out. Behind it were even more formidable arrays like the Absolute Flame Barrier Grand Array, and the array to find the entrance to the third layer—each layer interlocking.

Such a design, though harsh, could truly select the person the Dayan True Sect needed.

"But I never expected that the one who finally arrived would be a Liquid Realm martial artist!" Wei Xiao shook his head with a laugh.

"Oh? Is Old Wei looking down on me, a Liquid Realm martial artist?" Ye Yuan also laughed.

"Haha! You're a stubborn one, I like that! But there are things you can't deny; your realm is too low. Getting here was probably mostly luck."

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "What makes you say that?"

Ignoring Ye Yuan's teasing expression, Wei Xiao continued, "Don't be unconvinced. I know you have considerable attainments in array dao. But the supreme inheritance of my Dayan True Sect is the 'Three Volumes of Array Formations.' Before ascending to the Divine Realm, the founding patriarch, Dayan True Lord, left it in the Dayan Space. It is not a manual of techniques but something you must comprehend on your own. Back then, the sect master was exceptionally talented, yet at the ninth level of the Spirit Roaming Realm, he only comprehended fifty percent of it. At your young age, do you intend to compete with the sect master?"

Ye Yuan chuckled but did not argue.

Although he knew that sect master was a genius, Ye Yuan himself was also an unparalleled genius—he never underestimated himself in that regard.

One was a supreme genius of the lower realm, the other a supreme genius of the Divine Realm; the two were not even on the same plane!

Even if Ye Yuan argued, Wei Xiao naturally wouldn't believe him.

However, the name "Three Volumes of Array Formations" caught Ye Yuan's attention.

He knew that Lu Linfeng's trump card was the "Nine Scrolls of Array Dao," which must have evolved from these "Three Volumes of Array Formations"!

These "Three Volumes of Array Formations" should be Lu Linfeng's pinnacle work before his ascension.

Unfortunately, after his ascension, no one in the Dayan True Sect could ever reach his level again.

Of course, that was normal.

After all, Dayan Divine King Lu Linfeng was a figure who dominated the Divine Realm; how many could match his talent?

Seeing Ye Yuan's dismissive expression, Wei Xiao shook his head inwardly.

Ye Yuan was indeed exceptionally composed and magnanimous, but he was still young and arrogant, unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth!

But... who hasn't been young?

Even the sect master back then was afraid of nothing, right?

Let this kid hit a wall, and he'll know to turn back!
