Chapter 341: Sudden Enlightenment

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "But these three formations really aren't difficult!"

Wei Xiao's face showed even more disappointment: "Still talking tough! These three formations are the essence of the ancestor's array arts. You, a mere Liquid Realm martial artist, dare to speak of them as simple—truly ignorant of the vastness of heaven and earth!"

Ye Yuan was helpless, knowing that no matter how he explained, this old man wouldn't believe him.

Casually pulling out a handful of low-grade primal crystals, Ye Yuan said to Wei Xiao, "Old Wei, watch closely!"

With that, Ye Yuan casually tossed those low-grade primal crystals, arranging them around a peach tree.

As the last crystal fell into place, the crystals suddenly lit up, flying up on their own and circling the peach tree.

Finally, the crystals emitted dazzling light, shrouding the peach tree.

After a moment, the light dissipated, and the peach tree was no more—it had been completely annihilated!

Wei Xiao's face was filled with shock!

His shock was naturally not due to the peach tree's annihilation, but to the formation Ye Yuan had laid!

"This is a simplified version of the Small Ninefold Linked Formation," Ye Yuan said.

Then he took out another handful of low-grade primal crystals and casually tossed them out.

As before, there was a great burst of light, completely isolating the peach tree.

"This is a simplified version of the Six-Pole Sealing Formation," Ye Yuan added.

Ye Yuan was about to set up the Asura Illusion Formation, but Wei Xiao stopped him, saying, "No need, no need, I... I believe you! But how... how is this possible?"

Wei Xiao looked at Ye Yuan as if he had seen a ghost. Wei Xiao had been here for thousands of years and was most familiar with these three formations.

Although the simplified formations were not as powerful, the principles were the same.

Ye Yuan's technique in laying the formations was smooth and fluid, clearly showing he had a thorough understanding of them.

After a long while, Wei Xiao gradually digested this result, but the confusion on his face only deepened.

"Back then, the sect master was a prodigy, yet it took him five hundred years to comprehend ten or twenty percent of the 'Three Volumes of Formations.' You're only in the Liquid Realm, how... how did you do it?" Wei Xiao's speech even stumbled.

Ye Yuan said innocently, "I don't know either. I just looked and looked, and then I understood."

Ye Yuan didn't mean to anger Wei Xiao; he couldn't exactly say that in his previous life he was a ninth-rank array master, so understanding fifth- and sixth-rank formations wasn't that difficult, could he?

But Wei Xiao was still provoked. The expression on his face at that moment was extremely vivid. If he weren't a soul body now, he would probably have coughed up three liters of blood, right?

What does 'looked and looked and understood' mean?

Others spend hundreds or thousands of years and still can't understand something, yet you understand it in less than two days just by looking—how is that supposed to let others live?

Wei Xiao had admired the sect master the most in his life, but now it seemed there was simply no comparison between the sect master and this young man!

This was too disheartening!

Nothing is more heartbreaking than seeing one's idol defeated!

Ye Yuan's words also blocked all of Wei Xiao's questions.

I'm just this talented, no reason needed. What is as difficult as ascending to heaven for others is as easy as turning my palm for me. What do you want to ask?

At that moment, Wei Xiao truly felt like a wave washed up on the beach.

"Alright, since you have comprehended the 'Three Volumes of Formations,' come with me now."

Ye Yuan followed Wei Xiao back to the study. Wei Xiao waved his hand, and a small command flag flew into Ye Yuan's hand.

Wei Xiao said, "This is the sect master token of my Great衍 True Sect. With it, the incense and legacy of my Great衍 True Sect will never be extinguished! In the future, when you find a successor, pass on these three formations and this command flag to him, and my long-cherished wish will be fulfilled!"

Ye Yuan played with the command flag and said with some surprise, "This command flag is actually a profound artifact!"

Wei Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, this is a formation profound artifact called the Profound Water Flag. Using it can increase your formation-laying speed by fifty percent. Formations below the third rank can be instantly formed with the flag!"

The larger the formation, the longer the time required to set it up.

This flag, which could increase the setup speed by fifty percent, was already incredibly powerful.

Ye Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Good stuff!"

"Also, your cultivation level is too low. In this Great衍 Space, there is also a formation called the Sudden Enlightenment Formation. As for what realm you can break through to, that depends on yourself," Wei Xiao added.

"Hmm? That's wonderful! Thank you, Old Wei! Let's start quickly. My fellow disciples are in danger, and I'm very worried about them. I want to return as soon as possible," Ye Yuan thanked him.

Wei Xiao nodded and said, "In that case, I'll activate the formation now!"

Wei Xiao led Ye Yuan to a secret chamber and had him enter. The formation activated, and within the chamber, a vast amount of primal power began to gather!

The Sudden Enlightenment Formation was a higher-level formation than the Spirit Gathering Formation. It could instantly gather a large amount of primal power and continuously supply it to the martial artist, equivalent to constantly taking cultivation pills!

Soon, mist appeared in the chamber, and the dense primal power had condensed into fog!

Ye Yuan greedily absorbed this primal power into his body and refined it.

In fact, since his soul had reached perfection last time, Ye Yuan could have smoothly broken through to the ninth level of the Liquid Realm, but he had never had the chance.

Now, as he continuously refined the primal power, the liquid in his body condensed at an extremely fast rate, and soon he broke through the bottleneck of the ninth level of the Liquid Realm!

Outside the formation, Wei Xiao was surprised again: "This kid, breaking through to the ninth level of the Liquid Realm, why is he absorbing so much primal power? The primal power he's absorbing now is enough for others to improve two or even three minor realms, right? And he broke through to the ninth level without any bottleneck. It seems his realm comprehension has long surpassed the eighth level of the Liquid Realm. This kid is truly extraordinary!"

At this point, Wei Xiao no longer doubted Ye Yuan's genius.

And at that moment, the liquid in Ye Yuan's dantian became increasingly full, gradually reaching a saturated state!

Peak of the ninth level of the Liquid Realm!

The next step was to condense the liquid into crystals!

Just then, Ye Yuan's operation method quietly changed!

The third layer of the Human Chapter of the "Spirit Zhe Nine Yang Divine Art" operated at full power. He was actually going to break through directly to the Crystal Realm!

"What! He wants to break through directly to the Crystal Realm? That's too reckless! From the eighth level of the Liquid Realm to the peak of the ninth level, there's a whole minor realm in between. He doesn't even consolidate his realm, nor does he transition through half-step Crystal Realm, but directly breaks through to the Crystal Realm—this is too reckless!" Wei Xiao was startled by Ye Yuan's move.

He had let Ye Yuan enter this formation to help him break through to the peak of the ninth level of the Liquid Realm, not to directly break through to the Crystal Realm.

Who would have thought this kid would do such outrageous things, not even pausing for breath, directly breaking through to the Crystal Realm!

Ye Yuan had no such concerns and had never intended to transition through half-step Crystal Realm. He had originally planned to break through directly to the Crystal Realm!
