CHAPTER 1557: CHAPTER 1548: BROKEN THROUGH! FORMATION MASTER?

In the forest.

After the giant illusionary black bear beast vanished,

Ye Chenfeng’s face appeared very calm, but cold sweat was pouring down his back.

However, Ye Chenfeng could now be one hundred percent sure that everything within the Misty Cloud Array was just an illusion.

Next, various terrifying illusions emerged one after another.

With the experience from facing the giant illusionary black bear beast, Ye Chenfeng became completely relaxed and indifferent, strolling leisurely in the fog-filled forest.

Various powerful illusionary beasts continued to attack Ye Chenfeng, but he seemed completely unfazed by these illusionary beasts, with not even a ripple of emotion on his face.

...

Inside the wooden house at the edge of the forest.

After seeing Ye Chenfeng’s performance in the Crystal Ball, the Supreme Elders of the Red Flame Sect, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an, confirmed that Ye Chenfeng’s earlier actions were not a coincidence; he genuinely knew that the beasts in the forest were illusions.

Old Qian Rong’an flashed a smile and said, "What an interesting kid, I wonder which sect he belongs to? If he’s not affiliated with any, having him join our Red Flame Sect wouldn’t be bad."

Zeng Guangyuan’s emotions also settled, and he said, "Old Qian, perhaps this boy heard about the function of our formation somewhere, but the illusions within the Misty Cloud Array are extremely lifelike. Even if he knew earlier that they were illusions, for him to remain so calm in the face of such lifelike illusions, his character is commendable, and having him join the Red Flame Sect would be good."

Then, Zeng Guangyuan, watching Ye Chenfeng in the Crystal Ball, softened his gaze and said, "Old Qian, I haven’t taken a disciple in many years. This boy seems quite suitable to be my disciple."

Qian Rong’an flatly refused, saying, "This boy isn’t suitable to be your disciple."

Then Qian Rong’an continued, "Old Zeng, given this boy’s character, he will surely achieve something on the path of cultivation in the future. If he truly has no affiliation, I think he’s more suited to be my disciple."

"Old Zeng, don’t compete with me on this, after all, my strength surpasses yours,."

Zeng Guangyuan, blowing his beard and glaring, retorted, "Old Qian, strength isn’t everything. Letting me mentor this boy would be the best."

Qian Rong’an pondered for a moment and said, "Old Zeng, let’s not argue. I have an interesting idea: how about we wager on how long this boy can last in the Misty Cloud Array?"

"Next, the fog within the Misty Cloud Array will grow denser, and the air will become exceedingly thin. When it nearly disappears, we’ll temporarily shut down the array, ensuring the boy is never in life-threatening danger."

"Whoever guesses closest gets to take the boy as their disciple, what do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Guangyuan nodded, saying, "Alright, it’s a good suggestion. I guess this boy can last two hours in the Misty Cloud Array."

Qian Rong’an laughed and said, "Old Zeng, then I’ll guess this boy can last half an hour!"

"Old Zeng, do you think it’s that easy to endure in the Misty Cloud Array? While this boy has a good character, at his age, his strength surely can’t be very great."

Zeng Guangyuan, unconvinced, said, "Old Qian, let’s wait and see!"

...

Meanwhile, in the forest.

Although Ye Chenfeng ignored the various illusions, he couldn’t find a way out no matter how he tried.

At this moment, Ye Chenfeng was unaware that the two elders of the Red Flame Sect both wanted to take him as their disciple.

Ye Chenfeng noticed the surrounding white fog growing thicker, with the air rapidly disappearing.

"Young man, don’t waste your strength. You must break this Misty Cloud Array immediately, or once the air here is completely gone, it’ll be really troublesome," said Old Bai Wu Fengxian.

With a reminder from Wu Fengxian, Ye Chenfeng suddenly said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Old Bai, Old Hei, you both are very skilled in formations!"

Old Hei Jiang Yuntian teased, "Kid, you’re just now thinking of this, huh? We’ve been waiting for you to speak up! This Misty Cloud Array may be rare in today’s Earth Profound Realm, but in the Ancient Era, it was just an ordinary formation."

Old Bai Wu Fengxian added, "Young man, we’ll demonstrate in your mind how to break the Misty Cloud Array. Just follow our steps."

After Old Bai and Old Hei began demonstrating how to break the Misty Cloud Array,

Ye Chenfeng immediately focused and closed his eyes.

...

Inside the wooden house at the edge of the forest.

Upon seeing Ye Chenfeng close his eyes in the Crystal Ball, Qian Rong’an laughed, "Old Zeng, it seems the boy knows he can’t leave the Misty Cloud Array and plans to stand there and accept his fate. Once someone gives up, their willpower declines rapidly."

"So, he definitely won’t last half an hour, I’ve got this disciple locked in."

Zeng Guangyuan was irked, but he and Qian Rong’an loved to bicker endlessly, though their friendship was deep.

Zeng Guangyuan acknowledged that Qian Rong’an was likely right, fearing that Ye Chenfeng indeed wouldn’t last half an hour.

...

Back in the forest.

After about five minutes,

Ye Chenfeng, who had been sitting with closed eyes, suddenly opened them.

He bit through his right index finger, and blood began gushing out from his fingertip, while the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians suddenly surged.

His blood-covered right index finger swiftly sketched in the air.

At the same time, Ye Chenfeng frowned slightly as the white and black Sea of Consciousness within his brow stirred wildly.

As the two Seas of Consciousness churned, streams of Divine Sense continuously flowed from Ye Chenfeng’s brow.

A highly intricate blood-red pattern was etched into the air.

The Divine Sense flowing from Ye Chenfeng’s brow flooded into the intricate red pattern in the air.

Suddenly, the intricate red pattern in the air flared with light. A red line extended from the pattern, snaking off to Ye Chenfeng’s left.

Ye Chenfeng swiftly followed the direction of the red line.

Soon, he arrived at the end of the red line.

There on the ground at the line’s end, a red circle had formed.

Old Bai Wu Fengxian said, "Young man, this red circle should be where the Array Eyes of the Misty Cloud Array reside. If you alter the configuration as we’ve instructed, you can break this formation."

Ye Chenfeng placed his palm within the red circle, and Spiritual Energy surged into it from his body.

The Spiritual Energy within Ye Chenfeng consumed rapidly, as sweat poured down his forehead like a waterfall, and his face turned slightly pale.

About twenty minutes later.

With a "boom,"

Ye Chenfeng made slight adjustments to the Array Eyes, and a surge of energy burst forth from the formation.

This surge of energy dissipated in all directions.

As the energy dissipated, the white fog in the forest began to clear slowly, and the rapidly depleting air was restored.

Ye Chenfeng successfully broke the Misty Cloud Array.

...

As for inside the wooden house at the edge of the forest.

After witnessing Ye Chenfeng biting through his finger and sketching intricate patterns in the air, both Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an stood stunned.

Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an watched as Ye Chenfeng found the Array Eyes step by step before eventually breaking the Misty Cloud Array.

Even Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an didn’t know the location of the Array Eyes. They could only follow the ancestors’ methods to activate and deactivate the Misty Cloud Array.

In their view, no one in the Earth Profound Realm could break the Misty Cloud Array, yet now a young man in his twenties had done it?

They had just been wagering on how long Ye Chenfeng could last in the Misty Cloud Array!

But the outcome? Ye Chenfeng directly broke the Misty Cloud Array? Wasn’t this too shocking?

The two old men, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an, were left utterly speechless, their mouths slightly agape, eyes wide like copper bells, with breath coming in quick bursts through their noses.

After a moment, a glint flashed in Qian Rong’an’s eyes, and he swallowed hard, saying, "This, this young brother is a formation master?"

Unconsciously, Qian Rong’an’s form of addressing Ye Chenfeng had changed.

At these words, Zeng Guangyuan snapped back to his senses, his face aglow with excitement.

Both elders had a deep passion for formations, yet in the Earth Profound Realm, few were proficient, with no one to impart knowledge of formations, but now, wasn’t a prime opportunity before them?

If someone who could break the Misty Cloud Array isn’t a formation master, who is?
