Sacred Martial Divine Sovereign

"I didn't expect that I would still be careless. Luckily, the small pagoda in my body woke me up!" A complicated feeling surged into his heart. Ao Lingchen looked at the golden steps in front of him. He stretched out his hand and gently pressed on his chest, as if he was feeling the warmth of the small pagoda in his body. Gratitude arose spontaneously.    

"Looks like there are some very mysterious things on your body. Otherwise, you would have already died in the illusion! Not bad. Interesting. "    

An ethereal voice sounded beside Ao Lingchen's ear. That pair of illusory eyes appeared in Ao Lingchen's mind out of thin air. A feeling of prying surged into his heart.    

"Interesting. This thing can actually cut off my prying. It is indeed extraordinary. I am even more interested in you and me."    

Both of his eyes appeared in an instant, as if they had penetrated through Ao Lingchen's entire body. It was as if he was looking at a naked girl.    

"Who are you? What are you talking about?"    

Ao Lingchen shouted furiously. He was very familiar with the pair of eyes in his mind. The illusion that almost drove him mad was created by such an existence. He hated those who messed with his family the most.    

"The illusion is created by the heart. The illusion just now was created by the obsession in the depths of your heart."    

As if he had seen through Ao Lingchen's inner thoughts, an ethereal voice resounded from the bottom of his heart.    

Ethereal, ethereal, mysterious, and strange. This was Ao Lingchen's impression of the owner of the voice.    

"The image is born from the heart?" Ao Lingchen muttered to himself. His body trembled slightly. The owner of the voice could see through his inner thoughts.    

"That's right. That's the Heart Refining Formation. It reflects the weakness in the depths of one's heart and toughens one's mind."    

An ethereal voice sounded, as if it was trying to clear up Ao Lingchen's doubts.    

A hint of contemplation appeared in Ao Lingchen's eyes. The scene just now appeared in his mind. The illusion that he couldn't get rid of shook his body slightly. He sighed helplessly. The Heart Refining Formation was indeed worthy of being called the Heart Refining Formation. It could directly awaken the weakness in one's heart. It could directly attack the source and use the cruelest methods to increase one's will.    

This method was indeed the easiest to increase the strength of one's will, but there were also huge drawbacks. Once one's consciousness was completely lost in an illusion, it was very easy for one's sea of consciousness to collapse, and one's brain would die in the end.    

"Forget it, since you can walk onto the Heavenspan Platform, then it means that you have fate with me. This natural luck should also be given to you."    

As soon as his voice faded, an illusory figure appeared in front of Ao Lingchen's eyes. It was the illusory figure of an old man.    

"Little guy, are you interested in learning formations?"    

A loud voice was heard from the shadow's mouth. A pair of deep eyes stared at Ao Lingchen. The strange image that was projected in his mind just now had not appeared.    

"Learning formations." Ao Lingchen muttered to himself. Then, a fanatical expression emerged on his face. He looked at the illusory figure in front of him with burning eyes. The uncomfortable feeling he felt just now was swept away.    

"That's right, formations."    

The illusory figure seemed to be very satisfied with Ao Lingchen's performance. It raised its transparent right hand and gently stroked its nonexistent beard. Its tone revealed a sense of pride.    

"Yes, of course I do!" There was no need to think about it at all. Ao Lingchen immediately agreed. This was a great opportunity, there was no reason for him to reject it.    

Formation, according to the ancient records, was outside of martial arts. It was also a cultivation system that could lead to the supreme Great Dao. A grandmaster level formation expert was not any weaker than a martial arts expert. It could even cause destructive power that was far above that of a martial arts expert.    

Ao Lingchen had once read the same paragraph in a travel journal. A supreme expert who did not have any formations used the city as the foundation, set up a heaven defying killing formation, and buried an even more powerful existence alive.    

Even if it was just a one-sided statement, Ao Lingchen could still feel the terror of the formation from it.    

Even in the Twilight City, traces of the formation could be found everywhere. Whether it was the Great Mountain Secret Realm, the depths of the Twilight Forest, or the ninth floor in front of him, they were all related to the formation.    

No matter where it was, the formation displayed tremendous power.    

Ao Lingchen had always wanted to find a formation master to become his disciple, and learn the mysterious way of formation. However, in the entire Twilight City, he couldn't find a true formation master, only a half-bucket of water.    

He had never thought that he would encounter a mysterious master of formations on the ninth level of the scaling ladder. How could he miss such an opportunity?    

"Senior, this junior has always wanted to study the ways of formations. I am troubled by the fact that I can't find a guide and enter the sect. I hope senior can give me some guidance."    

Ao Lingchen looked at the shadow with a sincere expression and spoke with a humble and eager expression.    

Ao Lingchen had too many things to do. If he could control the Dao of Formation... It will be a great help to him. Especially the mysterious Twilight Forest. It was full of strange things. If one wasn't careful, one could easily enter some lethal formations.    

If he could have a certain understanding of formations, he would be able to sense it and avoid danger ahead of time.    

His transformed eyes appeared out of thin air, piercing through Ao Lingchen's heart like a sharp sword that had just been unsheathed. A voice full of emotion sounded from the illusory figure, "The path of formation is extremely boring, it needs to be able to withstand loneliness. You need to keep your calm heart. You want to have some achievements in the path of formation. You must have a calm mind. Do you understand what I mean? "    

When he spoke, he would do what he said. Naturally, the shadow would not be stingy with what he had just said. However, before he taught him the Dao of Formation, he had to explain the trick behind it. He did not want the little guy in front of him to go astray and end up crashing into the southern wall.    

As if the shadow of a god had seen through one's heart, he naturally knew why Ao Lingchen's heart was so fanatical. Although this kind of obsession could transform into motivation, it was also easy for people to go astray. He did not want to see the person who accepted his inheritance be destroyed in his heart in the end.    

The obsession was terrifying, but it was the most correct way to treat obsession with a calm heart.    

"Understood!"    

Ao Lingchen wasn't a fool. He naturally knew what the phantom was talking about, but the obsession in a person's heart wasn't something that could be eliminated with just a few words.    

"Forget it. I'll leave the inheritance of the formation to you. If fate wills it in the future, I hope that we will meet one day."    

The shadow naturally understood what was going on. It didn't try to force it anymore. Its body shone with a golden light, and in the next second, it appeared in front of Ao Lingchen. Without any reaction from the shadow, the index finger of its right hand pointed at the forehead of the shadow.    

Golden light circulated and Qi surged. Just as Ao Lingchen was about to make a move, a huge amount of information rushed into his mind. Complicated information flooded into his mind, making him feel as if his head could not bear it and could explode at any time.    

Holding the head with both hands, Ao Lingchen gritted his teeth and accelerated the operation of his brain, quickly accepting the information within.    

"This is the path of my formation. You can be considered half a disciple of mine. I hope you can have some achievements. If there is fate in the future, we will meet again."    

An ethereal voice sounded. Then, under Ao Lingchen's painful gaze, the illusory figure turned into specks of golden light and vanished completely.    

"Senior!"    

Forcibly enduring the pain in his head, Ao Lingchen looked at the dissipating illusory figure with a face full of emotion. There was no longer any resentment in his heart. What was left was gratitude.    

"If we have the chance to meet, you will be my master!"
