The more the Eight Great Iron Guards interacted with Chen Fei, the more they felt their master was simply extraordinary!

Whether it was talent or potential, it was incredibly powerful to a terrifying degree.

Otherwise, how could he have achieved such a terrifying and astonishing level at his age?!

The astonishing combat power to leap across cultivation stages, the frightening alchemy ability, and now the suspected Array Master level of the Four-Layer Human Formation... If all this were to be revealed, it might frighten people to madness to truly manifest the potential contained within, which is so shocking and terrifying!

Then, Chen Fei left the great hall. Subsequently, the Enlightened Deity Cave began a significant restructuring.

The experts who previously had the right to gather in the great hall were originally the middle and upper rankings of the Golden Toad Cave, and now, united and motivated, they naturally carried out the major restructuring Chen Fei wanted to see smoothly.

A small portion of hardcore loyalists of the original Golden Toad Cave chose to resist stubbornly and leave, but more of the Golden Toad Cave’s members wisely chose to stay!

The Golden Toad Cave was officially renamed the Enlightened Deity Cave, and all cultivator soldiers under its command were re-organized and structured... Details will not be elaborated upon.

…

In a secret chamber within the Enlightened Deity Cave, Chen Fei sat cross-legged on a Warm Jade Stone Bed, holding the Beast Hide Formation Scroll that Iron One gave him, quietly contemplating it, letting time slip by quickly.

Within the sea of consciousness, the Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness was silently observing Chen Fei, and he also spared some attention to examine the formation on the Beast Hide Scroll. Just a moment later, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he let out a slight ”hmm” as if he had discovered something on the scroll.

After a long time, Chen Fei’s attention finally drifted away from the Beast Hide Scroll, but then his brows furrowed unconsciously, as if he had encountered a problem.

Seeing this, the Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness slowly spoke, ”How is it? Did you manage to find any clues from the formation?”

Chen Fei clearly didn’t expect the question and was momentarily stunned, then awkwardly laughed, slightly embarrassed, ”Perhaps I was too conceited. This formation, although it’s at the Four-Layer Human Formation level, I have no clue at all right now.”

”Conceited, maybe a bit, but it’s not surprising you can’t understand this formation,” said the Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness with a smile.

Chen Fei rubbed his head. His initial intention was to experiment by himself to see if he could make some minor improvements and refinements to this Four-Layer Human Formation.

This way, firstly, it would be beneficial for the advancement and breakthrough of his formation realm cultivation.

Secondly, it would make the Eight Great Iron Guards stronger to assist him in resolving matters.

But now it seems he was indeed a bit conceited. Because his own cultivation realm was only at the Three-Layer Human Formation, and now he wanted to refine and improve a Four-Layer Human Formation level formation, wasn’t this conceit?

”However, your thoughts and actions are still commendable. Formation Dao, besides day-and-night research, has virtually no shortcuts,” the Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness laughed, showing a touch of admiration on his ethereal, sharply featured face.

The Formation Dao is vast, and while it’s particularly taboo not to know one’s limits, necessary courage and a spirit of experimentation are still indispensable! After all, without such spirit, wouldn’t that mean losing one’s edge?

If that were the case, it might not necessarily be a good thing.

Then, the Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness raised his brows and slowly said, ”The so-called formation is actually a method of finding the rules of heaven and earth, thereby inducing nature’s spiritual energy to ultimately use it for one’s own purpose. I have told you these principles before, and I believe you understand.”

Hearing this, Chen Fei nodded without hesitation and then quietly waited for what the Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness would say next. His previous bold claims were precisely because he still had the Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness in his sea of consciousness, wasn’t it?

Whether it’s the Three-Layer Human Formation, the Four-Layer Human Formation, or even the Five-Layer Human Formation, they’re all child’s play for the Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness, with no difficulty involved. Not worth mentioning.

And now, it was naturally time for him to listen attentively. How many people in the Cultivation World have the privilege and honor of having a formation master who once nearly reached the Great Formation Master’s realm personally solve their puzzles?

”And it’s said that from the early days when the path of Formation Dao was excavated and promoted, the methods and types of arranging formations were not so complex and difficult, but subsequently, as formations developed and strengthened, more powerful yet complex and intricate arrangements were gradually discovered.”

In Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, the Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness extended his hand, and strands of ice-blue spiritual light surged forth, and in a moment, two formations emitting a terrifying aura formed around Chen Fei!

Moreover, what surprised Chen Fei even more was that just after the formation, the two formations began to merge within half a breath!?

That’s right, they were truly merging!

In just two or three breaths, the two formations that should have been independent completely merged together.

And after such formation and development, the newly fused formation appeared exceptionally complex, but the aura it emitted was at least twice as powerful as before! Even more than double.

”What is this?” Chen Fei’s eyes were somewhat fiery as he looked at the new fusion formation, unable to hold back from asking.

”This is called a fusion formation, also known as a multi-composite formation. Now look at the formation on that beast skin scroll,” Zhen Jingkong said.

Upon hearing this, the expression on Chen Fei’s face froze abruptly. Then his gaze swept back to the beast skin scroll, his eyes flickering with a brilliant light. His brows furrowed and relaxed intermittently, and it took at least several hours before he slowly looked up, his face filled with a faint sense of joy.

”I seem to have some clues now. I didn’t expect that the formation recorded on this beast skin scroll would actually be a fusion formation?”

As he spoke, Chen Fei suddenly felt a bit fortunate, thankful that the Eight Iron Guards didn’t understand formations at all and only knew how to act crudely. Otherwise, he might not even be able to stand here safely right now.

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness was momentarily stunned. Was it really possible to have such comprehension just from a few hints and a few hours of contemplation? Such an ability to understand was somewhat exaggerated, wasn’t it?

After a moment like this, Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness finally regained some composure. Looking up like he had seen a monster, he finally shook his head slowly and said, ”Alright, you don’t yet have the ability to modify and perfect this level of fusion formation. Let me handle it.”

”Then I’ll trouble you, senior,” Chen Fei immediately expressed his gratitude. With Astonishing Formation Within the Sea of Consciousness personally handling it, there was sure to be no mistakes.

Then, he sat cross-legged on the warm jade stone bed and began cultivating.

...

Time flew by rapidly, and the protector Luo Quan and others, who had previously left the Enlightened Deity Cave in a disheveled and embarrassed state, finally returned to the Red Lion Cave hundreds of miles away. But when they returned, they were met with astonished and shocked gazes. Everyone seemed a little incredulous.

After all, everyone in the Red Lion Cave knew how powerful the Hu Jiang and Hu Shan brothers were, didn’t they? Yet, here they were, heavily injured, along with Protector Luo Quan looking disheveled... What exactly had happened!?

However, at the moment, Luo Quan and Hu Shan appeared to have no time to worry about what others were thinking.

As soon as they returned to the Red Lion Cave, the Hu Jiang and Hu Shan brothers unhesitatingly headed back to their dwelling, choosing to close their gates tightly and miserably heal.

Meanwhile, Luo Quan headed straight to the deepest part of the Red Lion Cave.

At the deepest part of the Red Lion Cave stood a striking, majestic palace with a brilliant fiery red color.

Outside the grand entrance stood two large majestic lions, imposing and brimming with demon qi, enough to make one’s heart tremble.

However, with Luo Quan’s peak of Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivation, he was not easily intimidated by such might.

”I need to see Lord Cave Master, quickly report it,” he said in a deep voice to the two lions at the entrance.

”Yes, Protector Luo, please wait a moment,” the two lions quickly responded as soon as they saw Luo Quan.

Whoosh!

Then one of the lions outside the door immediately dashed into the palace.

However, it soon returned, leading Luo Quan into the palace. From the outside, the palace appeared to be a fiery red, but within was an entirely different world, with crystal jade flooring, small bridges, flowing water, and a thick spiritual energy permeating the air.

Finally, they reached a magnificent inner chamber. In the center of the chamber stood a massive incense burner, with scarlet incense smoke curling upwards. A large tiger demon in a red eight-trigram robe sat on a flood dragon-patterned chair nearby, surrounded by rolling demon qi. His eyes were like copper bells, and his presence was formidable!

Clearly, this large tiger demon was none other than the Red Lion Cave Master, Red Lion Daoist! The overwhelming demon qi emanating from his body was far more fearsome and intense than that of an ordinary powerhouse of Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

”Hmm?”

At this moment, the Red Lion Daoist slowly opened his copper bell-like eyes, revealing a gaze that could make one’s scalp tingle. A hint of chill flashed through, causing the peak of Qi Refining Eighth Layer Luo Quan to involuntarily tremble slightly. His eyes widened in shock.

”Luo Quan, didn’t I tell you all not to disturb my retreat recently? What is this about?” The Red Lion Daoist said blandly, without expression.

”Lord Cave Master, it’s because this matter is somewhat troublesome and involves the Black Profound Copper Mine Cave of the Golden Toad Cave. I dare not make decisions on my own, and the Second Cave Master is still outside and has not returned, so...” Luo Quan quickly explained.

”The Black Profound Copper Mine Cave of Golden Toad Cave? Speak, what is going on?” Upon hearing this, a gleam of light shot through Red Lion Daoist’s eyes.

If it involved that mine cave, he indeed had to handle it personally. It was too significant!

”Oh, speak!” Red Lion Daoist’s eyes emitted two sharp rays of light.
