Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1144: Finding a Way to Break the Formation

Thinking about it, at just over ten, decisively abandoning the inherited cultivation technique and sword skills to pursue his own path of cultivation, such a person couldn’t possibly lack determination. His achievements are by no means coincidental.

One sword light after another shattered under Jiang Yuzhe’s sword; although his clothes were cut by chaotic wind blades, Jiang Yuzhe did not let out a groan. His once delicate face gained an unprecedented determination and perseverance.

Han Yan was not the type to hesitate either; seeing that Jiang Yuzhe could hold on for now, she did not intervene but instead activated the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique to elevate her divine sense to its peak, examining the interior of the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array.

Unlike the array base seen from the outside, there were no array materials or array runes visible inside, just a completely enclosed barrier space.

Even with Han Yan’s six senses surpassing several times those of ordinary Sword Saints, she could only perceive the peculiar energy fluctuations unique to the array.

If it were an array master, they might deduce the array principles from these fluctuations, finding a way to break the array, but unfortunately, Han Yan was no array master—not even close—so how could she find a way to break the array through this alone?

Han Yan repeatedly operated the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique, but she couldn’t find the slightest clue; the array’s energy felt like a tangled mess to her, leaving her clueless.

With her divine sense power significantly depleted, Han Yan felt a mild pricking pain in her mind, turning it blank and confused.

”Be careful!” Suddenly, Jiang Yuzhe’s exclamation rang in her ears.

Although he was trying his best, ultimately his strength was lacking to fully protect Han Yan. While most array sword lights were shattered by him, one managed to slip through, heading towards Han Yan.

Startled, Han Yan snapped back to attention, but she was still a bit slow, allowing the sword light to cut across her arm, causing a splash of blood.

The stinging pain from the wound cleared the confusion in Han Yan’s mind, as a spark of insight flashed through.

”Let me handle it,” Han Yan said, stepping in front of Jiang Yuzhe.

”My lady, let me continue. I was just careless a moment ago; it won’t happen again. You should focus on finding a method to break the array,” Jiang Yuzhe mistakenly thought Han Yan was blaming him and said apologetically.

”Don’t misunderstand; it was thanks to that moment of carelessness that I found the way to break the array. The key lies within these sword lights,” Han Yan remarked with a playful note, fully aware it was due to Jiang Yuzhe’s earlier wounds rather than carelessness.

”What!” Jiang Yuzhe looked at Han Yan in surprise.

”The method to break the array is within these array sword lights,” Han Yan declared, sweeping her sword towards the multitude of sword lights ahead.

As frost and snow mist fell, within the array, the countless sword lights seemed to freeze, slowing down significantly. Han Yan’s divine sense also merged into these sword lights.

The slight pain in her wounded arm invigorated Han Yan immensely.

Who said the array’s principles couldn’t be found, with no clue where to start? Although she couldn’t see any trace of the array, nor find its structure, weren’t these countless sword lights the best representation of the array’s principle?

All the mysteries of this array were hidden within these sword lights, right?

If this were the complete and intact Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array of old, no matter how strong Han Yan was, she couldn’t have deduced the array principles from these absolute killing sword lights. She didn’t believe her strength surpassed those of the West Qin Sword Saints back then. But now that the array had fallen into disrepair over the years, the power of the sword lights greatly diminished, making it possible to deduce the array principles.

Sword light after sword light shattered silently under Han Yan’s Frost Snow Dance, and at the moment of their shattering, Han Yan’s divine sense merged with them, sensing the subtle array secret techniques.

Gradually, a vague pattern of the array emerged before her eyes!

Overjoyed, Han Yan continued to swing her longsword, scattering bits of frost.

Finally, the array’s structure appeared clearly before her eyes; every array base, every rune, all perfectly visible.

But the smile on Han Yan’s face faded.

This array was far more complicated and profound than she had imagined; what she saw outside were merely the tip of the iceberg.

Even seeing it clearly and understanding it, she couldn’t think of a way to break the array.

Finally finding the array’s structure, could she just give up? Han Yan was certainly unwilling to see her efforts go to waste; in fact, she didn’t have a choice.

As another batch of sword lights gathered, the released sword power and killing intent grew even stronger. If things continued this way, eventually even she wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Right, why must she delve into array principles? She just needed to find the weakest point of the array, didn’t she? Han Yan suddenly had an epiphany.

Everything in the world has a weak point, even the so-called perfect swordsmanship has one; the same logic must apply to arrays.

No matter how powerful or marvelous the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array was, it must have a weak point. Once found, the array could be broken!

Understanding this, Han Yan was rejuvenated.

To directly find the weak point from array principles with her current foundational understanding deduced from sealing techniques was clearly insufficient, but don’t forget, these countless sword lights contained the array principles, making it much easier to find the weak point within them.

Han Yan felt immense gratitude towards Qianji. Without his teachings of the Divine Martial Refining Soul Technique, granting her a divine sense and six senses stronger than typical Sword Saints by several times, she might not have gained any insight from these sword lights.

Han Yan pushed her divine sense to the extreme, once again slashing towards the sword lights.

The array principles embedded in the sword lights corresponded exactly with the array pattern presented in Han Yan’s mind. Although she couldn’t yet understand its profundity, it was enough for her to locate the array’s weak point.

Suddenly, Han Yan’s focus sharpened; continually sensing the sword light array principle, she made another astonishing discovery: the array principle within these sword lights slightly resembled the Starfall Eight Wastes Sword.

Could it be that the array principles used by those predecessors who arranged the Heavenly Sword Seven Killings Array were also derived from the Starfall Eight Wastes Sword!

Han Yan realized that the Starfall Eight Wastes Sword was far more profound and complex than the Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword. When she previously comprehended the Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword, she deduced the entirety of swordsmanship changes with just one set of Meridian Cutting Hand from the Fang Family, and later integrated it with the Heart Enlightenment Sword. But this time, to comprehend the Starfall Eight Wastes Sword, merely using the Nie Family’s inherited Sword Casting Technique was nowhere near enough to deduce the complete swordsmanship.
