Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1475 - 784: Setting Up the Formation

"I've conducted some studies on formations—allow me to assist with the arrangement!" Li Yuanba stepped toward the group of array masters just then, addressing Master Wang He.

He had already detected an issue; the spatial rift no longer maintained its prior steadiness amid those relentless strikes.

Through his practice of the 'Divine Foot Skill', his awareness of spatial energy greatly outstripped that of ordinary cultivators.

Should the barrage persist, the spatial rift stands a strong chance of crumbling entirely.

The fallout from a collapsing spatial rift proves utterly devastating. Though the rift itself will fade away, its outburst prior can obliterate everything across an immense expanse.

The most horrifying aspect lies in this being Hell Cave Heaven; IBMz15's analysis points to a 70% likelihood that the implosion engulfs and wipes out the whole Hell Cave Heaven.

Cultivators trapped inside Hell Cave Heaven face no mercy, vanishing right alongside it.

"Li Yuanba, this isn't something to take lightly!" Master Wang He jolted at Li Yuanba's declaration and responded with grave seriousness.

Yuqing Sect had thoroughly probed Li Yuanba's background, leaving him well-versed in the young man's history.

By age one hundred, Li Yuanba had ascended to Nascent Soul Middle Stage and secured a spot as a core sword cultivator in Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, wielding formidable battle prowess that included solo defeats of great cultivators from mighty sects.

Such feats pushed the boundaries of what Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts could achieve in combat, yet Yuqing Sect's reports also praised his remarkable talent in alchemy.

Achieving mastery in both warfare and alchemy before turning one hundred already bordered on the miraculous. Master Wang He refused to accept that Li Yuanba could rival multiple array masters in formations as well.

"I mean every word; the spatial rift feels like it's on the verge of breaking!" Li Yuanba gestured toward the spatial rift as he insisted.

Master Wang He fell quiet for a beat. Truth be told, he had picked up on the rift's growing shakiness too, which intensified with every assault from the assembled great cultivators.

"Fine, join us—but withdraw at once if it goes wrong!" With a flick of his hand, he gave the order.

A handful of array masters nearly voiced their dissent, yet Master Wang He's consent silenced any pushback.

They resolved inwardly to eject Li Yuanba at the slightest slip-up. This realm belonged to array masters alone; no amount of brilliance in other areas tied into the art of formations.

The array masters easily discerned that Li Yuanba lacked the hallmarks of their profession, missing the Array Formation Starlight Sea essential to true array masters.

That Array Formation Starlight Sea defines array masters; its absence forced Li Yuanba to handle every formation calculation through sheer manual effort.

Li Yuanba paid no mind to the array masters' skepticism. He invoked his 'Divine Eye Skill' and synced with IBMz15, relaying the immediate surroundings to it.

Within seconds, IBMz15 identified the precise spot for a formation base.

His divine sense seized the formation base and positioned it exactly as directed.

"You..." The neighboring array master began to chide Li Yuanba, only to halt upon inspecting the installed formation base, where energy flowed smoothly without issue.

The remaining array masters reeled in astonishment; Li Yuanba's methods surpassed anything they could fathom.

Following IBMz15's directives, Li Yuanba deployed the second formation base using divine sense, at which point several array masters instinctively clutched their heads in frustration.

How could someone without an Array Formation Starlight Sea perform such computations? Was Li Yuanba truly depending only on his own intellect?

Li Yuanba proceeded to the third formation base, drawing Master Wang He's attention to the bizarre display.

Earlier, the array masters had labored endlessly over a single formation base, pooling their collective skills.

Yet Li Yuanba handled formations with casual ease, as if it were mere amusement, installing three bases in hardly any time at all.

"Does the formation he's building have any flaws?" Master Wang He skipped questioning Li Yuanba directly, turning instead to the array master who had spoken before.

"Senior Wang, I've never encountered such formation expertise; it leaves me humbled. We style ourselves as array masters, but truly we're like frogs at the well's bottom, blind to what a genuine array master can do!" The array master answered with deep chagrin.

Earning the designation of master signifies cresting the heights of one's discipline.

This holds especially true for array masters groomed by super powers, whose vast knowledge and formation reserves dwarf those of their peers. Such superiority fueled the pride of these array masters.

Li Yuanba's deft formation work demolished that very pride.

Shock now gripped Master Wang He; as he eyed Li Yuanba, a fierce urge to eliminate him surged within.

Li Yuanba's greater genius only amplified the danger he embodied.

Li Yuanba's exploits throughout Hell Cave Heaven convinced nearly every great cultivator that his rise to Great Cultivator loomed as an inescapable certainty.

Should Li Yuanba claim the rank of Great Cultivator, his proven might in battle could propel him straight to the forefront of all great cultivators.

In that era, he'd endanger every super power, striking hardest at those harboring grudges against him, such as Yuqing Sect.

Still, oath contract bindings deterred Master Wang He from moving against Li Yuanba in this place.

Li Yuanba picked up on a momentary killing aura, instantly comprehending the intent. Without the peril facing himself and Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion's sword cultivators, he never would have unveiled his formation talents.

This revelation proved far too extraordinary, slamming Master Wang He with a crushing revelation that offered Li Yuanba no advantage.
