Chapter 33 No Need for Array Materials
Inside the Hall of Law Transmission.
Hearing these words,
Chu Yuan felt a delightful sense of satisfaction.
As expected,
this apprentice was spouting nonsense.
What "slight enlightenment."
It was all rubbish, all lies.
There couldn't possibly be someone who believed that this apprentice had truly realized something, could there?
No way, no way!
Nobody actually thought that, right?
This second apprentice was just trash, how could he have realized anything.
However, this Zhang Han really was clueless.
How could he lie like that?
Did he not know that liars must swallow a thousand needles?
Forget it, forget it.
Since this apprentice was still trash, he felt relieved.
"Since you haven't had any realizations, you will need to spend more time to understand, do you comprehend?"
Chu Yuan nodded slightly, extremely satisfied with his own statement.
Standing not too far away, Zhang Han blinked, then nodded and said, "Respected Master, I understand!"
He didn't catch on to anything.
He just assumed his Respected Master wanted him to grasp the Great Dao sooner!
Pleased by his response, Chu Yuan's look of approval towards Zhang Han grew even more pronounced.
This apprentice was still less trouble after all.
Not like Ye Luo.
To think he would stab him in the back.
"Good that you understand. I shall take my leave now; reflect well and do not slack off."
Chu Yuan turned around, ready to leave.
His mood had turned very pleasant.
Because he was so pleased,
he planned to find the Shopkeeper in Silver Moon City to share a joyous drink!
This wasn't about freeloading or not.
It was simply his desire to share a joyous drink!
Zhang Han saw that Chu Yuan was about to leave and wanted to see him off respectfully, but then he thought better of it and hurriedly called out to stop him.
"Respected Master, please wait! Your disciple has something he wishes to discuss with you!"
Zhang Han was afraid Chu Yuan would leave at once.
His tone grew a bit urgent.
"What is it now?"
Chu Yuan stopped in his tracks, his eyebrows slightly raised, asking in puzzlement.
Zhang Han respectfully bowed to his master and said, "Respected Master, I wish to learn about formation arrangement, but I do not know where the Sect keeps the materials for this, hence I sought to ask you."
He possessed an Innate Array Heart.
The most terrifying aspect of the Innate Array Heart wasn't the extraordinary comprehension of formations.
It was that when he arranged a formation and grasped its essence, then his cultivation levels would increase directly.
That was where the horror of an Innate Array Heart lay.
But Zhang Han had no idea where to find the material for arranging formations.
Everyone knows one needs various materials to arrange formations, and large-scale formations even require corresponding Array Diagrams for assistance in setting them up.
Zhang Han couldn't find the necessary materials for arranging formations.
Naturally, he couldn't arrange them.
So he had come to ask Chu Yuan.
Meanwhile,
Chu Yuan, who had been at the doorway ready to leave, heard Zhang Han needed materials for arranging formations.
He was immediately baffled.
Did Zhang Han think that since he couldn't grasp the Dao, he would try to comprehend it by directly arranging formations?
But did this disciple not know that their Wayless Sect was of no rank, held no licenses, and possessed no resources? A Sect with three "no's."
Oh, wait.
This disciple really didn't know.
But where could he get the materials for arranging formations?
To buy?
That must be a joke.
With the few silvers under his boots?
Or should he use his clothes, worth a hundred pieces of gold, to buy them?
Don't be ridiculous.
Buying them was out of the question.
Don't ask, if you ask, the answer is no money.
Since we can't afford to buy.
Then we can only use the old rules.
A sly smile appeared on Chu Yuan's face as he turned around, turning his back to Zhang Han.
"Han'er, do you want to gather formation materials to set up a formation?"
Chu Yuan's unfathomable voice echoed.
Zhang Han nodded, replying graciously, "Yes, Respected Master."
"Han'er, before you wish for formation materials, let me ask you a question: do you know the ultimate goal of the art of formations?"
As Chu Yuan spoke these words.
A breeze swept by.
Fluttering his white robe loudly.
At this moment.
He seemed to exude an air of detached transcendence, as if he truly was a deity strolling through the mundane world, his silhouette imposing and boundless.
Gazing at the back of his master, Zhang Han only felt how profound and inscrutable his realm was.
He shook his head and began to ponder the question his master had posed.
What is the ultimate goal of the art of formations?
After careful thought, Zhang Han answered, "Respected Master, the ultimate goal of the art of formations should be to win with the weaker force against the stronger. With formation, an inferior individual can confront a more powerful one."
To win with the weaker force against the stronger?
Chu Yuan was stunned. Formations have that function?
He really wanted to learn formations.
But on the surface, he remained calm and shook his head without speaking.
Zhang Han continued, "Respected Master, the ultimate goal of the art of formations is to reverse the cycle of yin and yang, break the circle of reincarnation. With one formation, there is nothing one cannot do!"
Nothing one cannot do!
The idea stirred Chu Yuan's heart.
He really wanted to learn formations.
But he had no way to learn.
His heart may stir,
but on the surface, he still shook his head.
Seeing this, Zhang Han hesitated for a moment before saying, "Respected Master, the ultimate goal of the art of formations is to borrow power! To draw upon the forces of heaven and earth! To utilize the power of the sun, moon, and stars in a formation, so that when facing an enemy, not only are they opposing me, but they are also opposing heaven and earth, opposing the sun, moon, and stars!"
Is it that amazing??
Chu Yuan, with his back to Zhang Han, widened his eyes.
He was nearly drooling.
Is the art of formations really that impressive??
He was so eager to learn.
But where could he acquire such secret manuals to study?
It was simply not possible.
Chu Yuan sighed inwardly, quickly regained his composure, and regained his calm demeanor.
"What you described are the functions of formations, but not the ultimate goal of formations. So, Han'er, do you know what the ultimate goal of formations is?"
Chu Yuan said casually.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han could only bow in frustration and replied, "Respected Master, I am dull and do not understand."
Chu Yuan took a few steps forward and reached the entrance of the hall.
He intended to look up at the sky, but remembering the pain of the sun stabbing his eyes last time, he quickly lowered his gaze to the ground.
"Actually, the ultimate goal of formations isn't about being overwhelmingly powerful or terrifying; the ultimate goal of a formation is really a supreme tactic."
"Once you grasp the ultimate technique of formations, you can set up a formation with just a thought, without needing any materials. With a single thought, you can harness the forces of the world to forge a Great Formation and quell your enemies within it."
"What I want you to learn is this method—how to form a formation with a thought, quelling enemies with a thought! You don't need formation materials, remember, you don't need formation materials!"
Chu Yuan emphasized certain words heavily.
No need for formation materials!
He really has no money to buy formation materials.
As for that talk about summoning the forces of heaven and earth with a thought, you figure it out on your own!
If you can figure it out, then someone named Chu loses!
Meanwhile, Zhang Han, upon hearing these words, was completely dumbfounded.
To harness the power of heaven and earth with a thought to form a Great Formation...
No need for formation materials...
Zhang Han was stunned, unable to return to his senses for a long time.
Chu Yuan, seeing this, hurriedly conjured a cloud under his feet and skedaddled.
Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me...
I really have no money to lavish on formation materials for you...
Even if I did, I wouldn't give them to you.
Chu Yuan decisively chose to bolt.
