Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Ten days later.

Li Ye put down the jade slip and casually wiped away the densely packed calculation diagrams in front of him.

He exclaimed with emotion, "This formation is truly ingenious. It can utilize spiritual energy and the void to such an extent, and in turn, use the pouring and scouring spiritual energy to stabilize the formation, instantly reducing the pressure on each of the formation's nodes..."

Thanks to his years of farming, his mastery of array formations has now reached the peak of the fourth rank, and he is only one step away from the fifth rank.

While observing from the outside, I had already discerned some of the intricacies of the outpost's formation, but without testing it out in a short period of time, I was ultimately unable to put it into practice.

However, with the previous record of Meng and Bai breaking through the formation, it was possible to observe the changes in the formation and to have a basis for deduction.

In fact, they had already broken through one of the array's key points and used it as a base to find the underlying structure of the array.

Although they couldn't fully understand its intricacies, the combined strength of the two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators was sufficient to forcefully break the formation.

If it weren't for the presence of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in that formation, and the advantage of being near the descent passage, which minimized the suppression effect of the human realm's domain, he could have almost fully unleashed his combat power.

With the help of the large formation, they stopped them and launched a counterattack.

If things continue in this manner, there is indeed a chance to succeed in one go!
That was just catching the enemy off guard. Now, the outpost is mostly well-defended, and it's unlikely that they can forcefully break through it with Li Ye's late-stage Nascent Soul strength.

Only by truly finding more weaknesses and then using brute force can we break through it in a short period of time.

After years of research, Li Ye has finally achieved some results worthy of trying.

of course.

Given his prudent approach, the likelihood of this attempt succeeding is actually quite high.

With a clear strategy for breaking the formation, and with three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators joining forces, even if the formation could utilize the terrain effectively and was extremely mysterious, it would still have its limits.

The more Li Ye understood the mystery behind it, the more moved he became.

"Any random power can produce such a formation, and the cultivators who happen to descend to this realm even know the secret methods of receiving those who descend. This realm truly has a profound foundation..."

"I wonder what a magnificent era of cultivation it was when the ancient Huan Realm was at its peak, before the spiritual energy declined!"

"Perhaps the communication with the spirit world is even closer than it was ten thousand years ago in the human world, when all five regions had thriving Nascent Soul sects!"

"There are many benefits to be found in this world!"

………………

Meng Jingde was slightly surprised to see Li Ye come to his door so quickly.

Such a short time might just pass by in the blink of an eye, like a single meditation session.

Could it be that Li Ye has already deduced all the results of their previous challenge and made a decision?

If that's the case, Li Ye's mastery of array formations is probably even greater than he expected.

The thought had barely crossed Meng Jingde's mind when he heard Li Ye say:

"Fellow Daoist Meng, I have seen what you have gained from breaking through the formation and have some ideas about it. I wonder if it would be possible to invite Fellow Daoist Bai and the formation master who helped you break the formation to come and discuss it? Perhaps I have a way to break it in one fell swoop!"

These words moved even Meng Jingde.

"Is Fellow Daoist Li's statement true?"

"Fellow Daoist Meng, you will know once I have a conversation with that formation master."

Li Ye said confidently.

Seeing his appearance, Meng Jingde did not hesitate and immediately sent someone to invite him.

After all, Li Ye was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like him, so it was impossible for him to speak carelessly about such matters.

If he can really do it, he can destroy the outpost faster than expected, and even launch a counterattack to drive all the ancient Huan Realm cultivators back to their homeland.

This avoids the trouble of ancient cultivators needing to use the spiritual energy of the mortal realm to perfect their techniques and abilities, thus further enhancing their combat power. It is of great significance!

…………

Before long, Bai Minghua and an old man arrived one after the other.

Compared to Meng Jingde's ancient and solemn appearance, Bai Minghua appeared younger and more handsome. However, the aura of his Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art was like an abyss, making it impossible to approach him.

The old man had white hair and beard, and looked extremely old, with a sense of decay.

Only his eyes were particularly bright, with a gleaming quality.

As soon as he arrived, he immediately asked,

"I am at a crucial juncture in my divination. May I ask what brings Fellow Daoist Meng here?"

Although his cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he showed no caution or respect towards a late-stage cultivator, not even bothering to offer a proper greeting. Instead, he spoke with a hint of impatience.

Even so, Meng Jingde did not seem to have any complaints.

As the old man asked the question, his gaze fell on Li Ye.

After all, the old man already knew who Meng Jingde and Bai Minghua were. Although they were incredibly powerful, they were not particularly skilled in the art of formations and could not possibly have any insights into that great formation.

The only candidate was Li Ye, a complete stranger.

After realizing that his aura was restrained yet on par with the other two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and looking at his face, the old man also realized what was going on, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

"Old man Jiang Zimo has met fellow Taoist Li!"

"If three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces, it wouldn't be impossible to force a breakthrough!"

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are mistaken. Even if the three of us join forces, it will still be quite difficult if we cannot find its loopholes..."

"Haven't you noticed that since your last attempt to break through the formation, the formation has become much more firmly integrated with the surrounding void?"

"If we launch another strong attack, we will most likely suffer another defeat!"

Faced with Li Ye's abrupt opening remarks, Jiang Ziming was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Li Ye a few times.

He didn't know much about Li Ye, only that he was a newly promoted late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the Southern Frontier.

Even after major repairs, one cannot easily refute his claims regarding array formations.

Although what he just said did seem to make some sense...

But Jiang Ziming still glared and said, "Then please, Fellow Daoist Li, share your insights!"

Li Ye smiled and said, "I wouldn't call it insightful, but I do have some ideas."

Seeing that Li Ye was actually arguing with Jiang Ziming, a master of formations, Bai Minghua's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes revealed a hint of interest.

Meng Jingde had previously told him that Li Ye was unfathomable, and now, seeing it with his own eyes, he could confirm that, in terms of cultivation alone, it was indeed so.

He also couldn't see through Li Ye's true nature.

However, array formations are different from cultivation. Jiang Ziming is a rare array formation master in the Southern Frontier.

The reason he was willing to help was not because of the generous reward they offered, but rather because the profound mystery of the great formation at the ancient Huan Realm outpost truly attracted him, which is why he came here.

Unexpectedly, even this person couldn't find a good way to break the great formation, but Li Ye had an idea after only ten days.

Bai Minghua wanted to see just how far Li Ye's array formation skills, which were said to be unparalleled in both alchemy and array formation, had actually gone.

Will the method he devised to break the formation in just ten days truly convince Jiang Zimo? (End of Chapter)
