Chapter 123: Senior Brother Has Set Up An Array Formation, See If You Can Break It
At the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.
The warm rays of the sun were cast on his body.
Wang Zhuoyu had a smile on his face.
He did not take to heart the things that Xu Luochen had just said.
In fact, in Wang Zhuoyu’s opinion, Xu Luochen was impatient and couldn’t stand being alone. Hence, he was angered by Ye Ping.
However, it wasn’t appropriate for him to disobey the Sect Leader. Hence, he had been feeling dejected and miserable. Now, Xu Luochen had even come to see him and dissuade him from teaching Ye Ping. He thought that Xu Luochen was scared that he might seem even more incompetent after Ye Ping learned the Dao of array formations.
Putting that aside, Wang Zhuoyu somehow frankly thought that Su Changyu was the most incompetent piece of garbage in the entire sect, who was unlikely to succeed the position in the future. On the other hand, he felt that Xu Luochen was too narrow-minded and was easily depressed because he couldn’t take a hit.
His fourth and fifth junior brothers were often missing too.
There was nothing much to say about Xiao Muxue as he didn’t think that she would achieve anything great. As for Chen Lingrou, she was way too young and didn’t know how she should treat others. He reckoned that it would be unlikely for her to take over.
He thought about it carefully and wondered who else could succeed the Sect Leader.
He inhaled sharply.
‘Aren’t I the only one left?’
Wang Zhuoyu suddenly frowned.
‘But I don’t want to be the Sect Leader either.’
Wang Zhuoyu didn’t want to be the Sect Leader because he preferred leading a simpler life.
“But what if Sect Leader wants me to take over? What if he kneels in front of me and begs me to become the Sect Leader?”
“If I agree, I won’t be doing it out of willingness. But if I don’t, wouldn’t I seem like an ingrate? After all, he’s like a fatherly figure to me.”
“Ah, forget it, forget it. We’ll see when the time comes. If there is really no one in the sect who can bear such a huge responsibility, I’ll reluctantly take over.”
“Ah, Wang Zhuoyu, Wang Zhuoyu, you’re just too honest and reliable.”
He walked towards the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.
Wang Zhuoyu was letting his imagination run wild.
At this juncture, Ye Ping’s voice made Wang Zhuoyu snap back to his senses.
“Senior Brother Wang, you’re here.”
On the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect, Ye Ping did not expect Wang Zhuoyu to show up.
However, he understood that Wang Zhuoyu must have been there to teach him the Dao of array formations.
“Yes.”
Hearing Ye Ping’s voice, Wang Zhuoyu returned to reality and looked at Ye Ping with his eyes full of satisfaction.
Ye Ping was rather good-looking and seemed personable and easy-going too.
“Ye Ping, I have some important matters to deal with in a few days, so I plan to teach you the Supreme Array Formation Dao before I leave.”
“However, Ye Ping, the matter that I have to handle is very important, so how much you can learn depends on your own ability.”
Wang Zhuoyu said to Ye Ping after walking towards him.
In about ten days, he would be leaving for the final array formation assessment. Hence, he only had ten days to teach Ye Ping the Dao of array formations.
Wang Zhuoyu naturally felt that ten days was insufficient as he didn’t think that Ye Ping was a genius.
To put it bluntly, in Wang Zhuoyu’s eyes, the Array Formation Dao was extremely complex and cumbersome, something that the Sword Dao and alchemy could not compare to.
For example, for the Sword Dao and alchemy, one just had to have a pair of hands.
However, the Array Formation Dao was different as it involved plenty of things.
It required more than just a pair of hands.
“Thank you so much, Senior Brother Wang. I will definitely work hard and not let you down.”
Ye Ping was extremely interested in array formations. Hence, he was full of anticipation.
“Sit.”
Wang Zhuoyu sat on the ground, not minding it at all.
Ye Ping sat down too.
The two of them looked at each other.
Wang Zhuoyu said slowly, “Little Junior Brother, I gave you a book of array formation insights previously, do you still remember?”
“I do.”
Ye Ping nodded.
“Have you comprehended anything?”
Wang Zhuoyu asked calmly.
“Senior Brother, I comprehended only a small part of it.”
Ye Ping answered after giving it some thought.
Wang Zhuoyu was slightly stunned by his words.
‘You managed to comprehend a part of something that I randomly fabricated?’
‘Are you lying to me?’
‘Of all things, you learned how to lie? Indeed, people tend to be affected by others around them. This is what happens when you learn from Su Changyu.’
Wang Zhuoyu sighed in his heart.
However, he looked rather calm on the surface.
“I wrote those insights spontaneously. You’d have a good level of comprehension if you can comprehend it. However, I’m going to teach you the real Dao of array formations next.”
At this point, Wang Zhuoyu’s gaze was gleaming.
“The so-called Dao of array formations is mysterious and there are countless types of array formations. Its uses are also infinite.”
“For example, some people engrave the array formation in their body and turn themselves into a weapon that can kill enemies with a single thought.”
“There are also people who engrave the array formations on Dharma artifacts to enhance them.”
“No one can be certain of the wonders of array formations, but no matter what, array formations can be used everywhere.”
“Ye Ping, you are now a beginner in the Array Formation Dao. This book records the most basic information of the Array Formation Dao, read it in your free time.”
Wang Zhuoyu took out a thick book and handed it to Ye Ping.
The book was extremely thick. He casually flipped through the pages to see that the fonts were extremely small and there were at least a million words on it.
“Thank you very much, Senior Brother.”
Ye Ping said gratefully.
“Ye Ping, in order to let you gain a deep understanding of how powerful array formations are, why don’t I set up a trapping array now?”
At this moment, Wang Zhuoyu slowly spoke.
He had come prepared today and intended to give Ye Ping a lesson on the basics of array formations. Secondly, he also wanted to showboat in front of Ye Ping and show him what a true master of array formations was like.
“Sure, just don’t set up one that’s too overpowering.”
Hearing that Wang Zhuoyu wanted to personally set up an array to teach him, Ye Ping immediately nodded. His only concern was that the array that Wang Zhuoyu set up might be too strong for him.
“Don’t worry, I know when to stop. Besides, I just want to see how talented you are in array formation.”
Wang Zhuoyu said.
Soon, he took out a wooden box from his sleeves, in which there were four small magnetic rods.
They were Wang Zhuoyu’s array artifacts.
They were cheap and extremely ordinary array artifacts.
“Array!”
As soon as Wang Zhuoyu said that, several Dharmic powers entered the four magnetic rods.
In the next moment, the four magnetic rods formed a square, with five meters in between each other.
Wang Zhuoyu immediately got up and retreated to outside the array artifact.
“Ye Ping, close your eyes and open them again in five minutes.”
Wang Zhuoyu said.
The array that he had set up was actually a small disorientation array formation. If Ye Ping didn’t close his eyes, he would be able to see through it easily. That would then be embarrassing.
“Excellent!”
Ye Ping closed his eyes without babbling any nonsense.
After Ye Ping closed his eyes, Wang Zhuoyu continuously added array formation techniques.
Five minutes passed.
Finally, the small disorientation array was completed.
Wang Zhuoyu’s head was covered in sweat.
The disorientation array was the array formation that he was best at. He intended to use it to pass the assessment too.
“Ye Ping, you can open your eyes now.”
Wang Zhuoyu said at this point.
His eyes were filled with confidence.
Back then, even the Sect Leader could not crack that array formation.
He didn’t believe that Ye Ping could break the disorientation array either.
In the array formation, Ye Ping opened his eyes.
At the next moment, the surrounding white fog blocked his vision.
At the same time, Wang Zhuoyu continued to speak, “Ye Ping, there are three ways to break the array, so listen to me carefully.”
“The first method is to find the position of the array artifact and destroy it, or shift it away from the array formation. It will then be broken on its own. However, there are array formation masters that would control the array artifact and change it. Hence, it’s very difficult.”
“The second method is to break the array formation with another array formation. This is extremely difficult because setting up your own array formation in another person’s array formation will require high attainments in array artifacts. In fact, using the enemy’s array artifact is good.”
“The third method is to use the resonance point of the array formation and bypass its position. For example, if it’s a disorientation array, you will either step onto a path towards death or survival. If it’s the former, you will never leave once you step into it. However, if it’s the latter, you will be able to get out of it easily.”
“However, there is one more that is the simplest yet also the hardest, and that is breaking the array formation with power. You shall sense the location of the array artifact and use a sword technique or a Mystical Ability to strike and destroy the array artifact. The array formation will be broken on its own too.”
“The crux of these four ways to break the array formations is to find the array artifact as soon as possible. A person’s talent is measured by his ability to resonate with the array artifact. Little Junior Brother, I’ve already said what I should. Try breaking it slowly, but don’t be too anxious. The more impatient you are, the harder it will be…”
Just as Wang Zhuoyu was guiding him…
In the array formation, a figure walked out.
It was Ye Ping…
Wang Zhuoyu was dumbstruck.
