My Master Knows It All

Those who venture out for exploration all wish to have an Array Master in their team. After all, many relics and dangerous places are protected by formations. Having an Array Master increases safety and makes finding treasures easier in these perilous areas.

However, there are originally few Array Masters who enter the True Immortal battlefield. Even if some do enter, they join the teams of experts, leaving no room for others.

Finding a master adept at formations? Surely they would be revered.

”Now, we only lack a master skilled in the Painting Way.”

”But honestly, though masters of the Painting Way aren’t as coveted as Array Masters, there are even fewer of them. Who knows if we might encounter one?”

Immortal Lord Yan Hua watched from afar as Cao Zhen broke the Formation Map, smirking inwardly. As expected, there was something off about this Sword Lord Qing Lian. It was merely an Immortal Palace, not a place specialized in formations. Could he really break the formation map so quickly?

Perhaps he already knew how to break this formation map and was merely putting on a show.

When he entered the city, he was with those three people, and among them, Demonic Lord Guang Yu had also lost his jade pendant, as did Sword Lord Qing Lian.

All these coincidences? That would be too much of a coincidence.

Still short one skilled in the Painting Way, that fits perfectly.

Immortal Lord Yan Hua made her move, pretending to have just arrived, and stepped forward.

Demonic Lord Guang Yu was troubled about where to find someone skilled in the Painting Way. Suddenly, his eyes froze at a distant figure, his face breaking into joyous celebration as he called out loudly, ”Dao Companion Yan Hua!”

Immortal Lord Yan Hua turned her head upon hearing her name, looking at the gathered group. Her face first showed a pondering expression, as if recalling who they were, then a look of clear understanding as she remembered their identities, and she walked towards them.

”Fellow Dao Companions, I didn’t expect we’d meet again,” she said, curiously glancing at Sword Lord Qing Lian. ”I remember Qing Lian Dao Companion wasn’t supposed to be in seclusion? Yet now you’re teamed up with Dao Companion Guang Yu.”

Before his new teammate could speak, Demonic Lord Guang Yu quickly interjected, ”We just happened to meet Dao Companion Qing Lian, and coincidentally, we were short two people, so Qing Lian Dao Companion joined us.

By the way, Dao Companion Yan Hua, we’re still missing a master skilled in the Painting Way. Are you interested?”

The crowd around also looked over. Even if they didn’t know Yan Hua by face, the title alone indicated she was a cultivator who embraced the Painting Way.

Immortal Lord Yan Hua didn’t immediately answer but inquired, ”Where are you headed that you must find someone skilled in the Painting Way?”

”This...” Demonic Lord Guang Yu didn’t answer at once but turned to look at Demonic Lord Hong Xi, who appeared to be in charge.

Demonic Lord Hong Xi paused briefly, then encircled the group with an isolating formation, finally speaking with a mysterious air, ”Dao Companion Yan Hua, given we’re old acquaintances, it’s alright to share with you.

We’re planning to head to Drawing Array Edge. We discovered a very concealed ruin there, so we need a Dao Companion skilled in formations and one in the Painting Way. We’ve found someone skilled in formations, but we’re still missing a master of the Painting Way. May I ask if Immortal Lord Yan Hua is interested?”

Hearing this, Immortal Lord Yan Hua’s eyebrows twitched lightly, and she didn’t immediately agree. Instead, she gravely responded, ”Are you aware of the danger level at Drawing Array Edge? That’s not a place one in the Early True Immortal Realm can venture lightly.”

Though she wanted to join this team, she couldn’t agree so easily; otherwise, they might suspect her.

”Of course, we understand the danger level at Drawing Array Edge, but that ruin...” Demonic Lord Hong Xi lowered his voice despite having already set up a soundproofing formation, ”The ruin we discovered should belong to the extinct Seven-color Tribe.”

”An ancient relic of an extinct clan!” Immortal Lord Yan Hua’s breathing became rapid.

Demonic Lord Hong Xi nodded heavily, and as expected, upon hearing the ruin belonged to the Seven-color Tribe, Immortal Lord Yan Hua couldn’t stay calm.

In the Outer Heaven Battlefield, there are many ruins of long-extinct alien races.

Normally, one clan cannot cultivate the techniques and Immortal Trees of another race.

Just like the Human Clan cannot cultivate the cultivation techniques and Immortal Trees of the Demon Clan.

However, for unknown reasons, whenever a clan disappears, their previous cultivation techniques and spells can be cultivated by other races.

For instance, currently, the cultivation techniques and spells of the Demon Clan cannot be cultivated by other races. But once the Demon Clan becomes extinct, other races will be able to practice their cultivation techniques and Immortal Techniques.

It feels as if, while a clan exists, their cultivation techniques and Immortal Techniques have some form of protection. Once they go extinct, that protection vanishes.

Generally, relics of extinct alien races hold far more value than common relics. Even in an unremarkable relic, devoid of any anomalies, treasures that served as the clan’s sacred relics might be found.

Not to mention, the Seven-color Tribe was renowned for their Painting Way and spells, making it impossible for someone like Immortal Lord Yan Hua, who follows the Painting Way, to refuse such a relic.
