My Master Knows It All

As they spoke, it seemed that they discovered something and hurriedly explained, ”No, don’t misunderstand, I’m talking about this formation. This formation is truly exquisite... How did he conceive of it... In this way, the potential in a person can indeed be greatly excavated...”

Cao Zhen was truly impressed. He had always succeeded effortlessly, but looking at the formation in front of him, he felt that if it hadn’t been for later connecting with Fairy QiongXiao, his array level improved again, and it’s possible that just by relying on his previous array level, he might not have been able to understand the Human Array of the Zong Zhen so quickly.

Even now, he still couldn’t fully grasp this Human Array all at once.

He spent ten days in the cave mansion of Absolute-Formation, studying the Human Array for ten days, and only then did he come to understand.

Looking at Absolute-Formation he said, ”It can be seen that the Zong Zhen’s research on the Human Array is already extremely refined, and honestly, I’ve studied it inside and out many times, and I truly haven’t found any harm this Human Array does to you.

In other words, the Zong Zhen applying this Human Array to you wasn’t intended to harm you, but to help you. This formation even resonates somewhat with your immortal cultivation physique.”

Immortal Lord Absolute-Formation fell silent upon hearing this. She too had noticed previously that this formation seemed to only benefit her with no downsides. However, she really didn’t believe that the Zong Zhen had such good intentions. Perhaps it was due to her limited knowledge of formations that she hadn’t discovered any hidden pitfalls within the Human Array. But now that Sect Leader Cao was saying that this Human Array had no downsides, she believed that there truly were none.

But then, why did Zong Zhen do this?

Could it be that, as he said, he wanted to prove in his own way that he was right?

Immortal Lord Absolute-Formation sighed in her heart and finally asked again, ”Then, Sect Leader, could you help me remove this Human Array?”

”Remove it? Why would you want to remove it?” Cao Zhen looked at Immortal Lord Absolute-Formation in confusion and said, ”This Human Array has no downsides for you. If you always want to pursue the path of the Human Array as you advance, then why not continue down that path?”

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Absolute-Formation became suddenly excited, her body even shaking violently in response.

”Pursue the path of the Human Array? Then how am I any different from that traitor, Zong Zhen!”

”Naturally, there’s a difference.” Cao Zhen glanced at the Human Array on Immortal Lord Absolute-Formation and gently shook his head, saying, ”Actually, you may have some misunderstanding regarding the Human Array.

Or rather, it is Zong Zhen who is at fault, not the path of the Human Array he conceived. I know that you are so opposed to the Human Array because Zong Zhen once used disciples of your Extreme Formation Sect for experiments, leading to the deaths of many disciples in your sect.

However, those disciples were killed by Zong Zhen, not by the Human Array. Just don’t use your sect’s disciples for experiments in the future, and that will be fine.

Moreover, not only in formations but even in the path of alchemy, there exists the Human Pill. Among my disciples, Yi Sheng, who excels at alchemy, I passed on the way of the Human Pill to her, allowing her to refine herself into a pill.

In my view, regardless of whether it is the path of the Human Pill or Human Array, as long as you don’t harm others by using them for experiments, there is no issue.

Returning to the point, although you mentioned Zong Zhen, whose actions I don’t agree with, his philosophy also holds some truth.

Of course, the Human Array he arranged for you may be due to his lack of understanding of your current cultivation base, or perhaps his research isn’t deep enough. In any case, this Human Array does have some issues.

I can assist by modifying this Human Array for you, enhancing its potency and making it more suitable for you.

As for completely removing the Human Array from you, I currently can’t do it, because I am now only in the Immortality Regainment Realm, not the True Immortal Realm.”

Cao Zhen truly wasn’t lying; he could modify the Human Array, and he had a sense that the Zong Zhen seemed to have deliberately left a gap for modification.

However, to completely remove this Human Array, even if he broke through to the True Immortal Realm, he might still be unable to achieve it, due to insufficient cultivation base.

He estimated it would at least require him to cultivate to the late True Immortal Realm to completely remove the Human Array from Immortal Lord Absolute-Formation.

”In that case, Sect Leader, please help me modify the Human Array.”

Immortal Lord Absolute-Formation didn’t take long to make her decision.

However, the time Cao Zhen needed to modify the Human Array was prolonged.

It’s like a blank piece of paper—you can draw whatever you want on it freely.

But if a piece of paper is already full of drawings, trying to alter it to make it more meaningful and beautiful becomes difficult.

This was precisely the situation Cao Zhen found himself in.

He spent two years completing the modification of the Human Array for Immortal Lord Absolute-Formation.

Meanwhile, Immortal Lord Absolute-Formation greatly benefited from it. She pursued the path of formations, and with Cao Zhen modifying the Human Array on her, she could clearly understand how Cao Zhen altered it, his thought process in formations...

Through these two years, she felt that it significantly helped her, reducing the time needed to break through and consolidate the Ninth Immortal Palace by even two thousand years!

She even vaguely sensed the omens of the Ninth Immortal Palace starting to form.

When Cao Zhen left Immortal Lord Absolute-Formation’s cave mansion and returned to Four Treasures Peak, he discovered that it now only had one disciple, Ling Xi.

”Where are they? Have their injuries healed? Where have they all gone?”
