Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 305: Chapter 292: Casual Guidance, Helping You Achieve Holiness

Soon, Su Han arrived at Qian Yuan City and immediately met with Sun Buzhou.

”Mr. Su, everything is ready. Please follow me!”

Sun Buzhou led Su Han to the depths of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. The Spatial Transmission Formation was one of the Pavilion’s core secrets, used specifically for transporting goods and important personnel. Granting Su Han access was a special exception.

The Spatial Transmission Formation occupied an entire great hall. Not only was the ground covered with Formation Patterns, but even the surrounding walls and the ceiling overhead were engraved with them.

Even with his advanced Formation Mastery, Su Han felt overwhelmed when faced with such dense and complex Formation Patterns.

”The Spatial Transmission Formation is a Semi-Saint Formation that involves Spatial Force. Therefore, only Array Masters at the Supreme Realm or higher can set it up.”

Sun Buzhou knew Su Han was also an Array Master, so seeing him observe the formation, he explained directly. He was not afraid of Su Han learning the formation. Even if Su Han managed to master it, he would not be able to build one without knowing the spatial coordinates, understanding spatial positioning, and mastering Spatial Force.

Besides, he had always held high hopes for Su Han. The stronger Su Han became, the greater the returns he would receive. Therefore, he secretly hoped Su Han would master the Spatial Transmission Formation right away; perhaps he could even build a few for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

”Nine Heavens Eye, open!”

Since Sun Buzhou had no intention of hiding anything, Su Han did not hold back. He activated his Nine Heavens Eye, observing everything with perfect clarity, and carefully memorized the entire Spatial Transmission Formation.

Although he currently lacked the ability to build it, the memories he had inherited from the god-fiends gave him a commanding perspective on Formation Mastery, far surpassing that of any ordinary Array Master.

He quickly spotted several flaws and unnecessarily complex parts in the Spatial Transmission Formation. After some thought, he took out a Jade Slip and used his Divine Sense to inscribe his suggestions for improvement.

”Pavilion Master Sun, these are my suggestions for improving the Spatial Transmission Formation. You can show them to the Array Master who built this formation. If they are useful, consider it a small token of my appreciation. If not, feel free to just discard the slip.”

Saint You Heng had done him a great favor, so Su Han naturally wanted to reciprocate. He was confident that as long as the Array Master was not blind, he would surely recognize the value of these suggestions.

”Oh? Rest assured, Mr. Su, I will pass it on.”

Sun Buzhou accepted the Jade Slip, somewhat surprised. While he had faith in Su Han, he had not expected anything in return so soon. Since he was not an Array Master, he could not make sense of the Jade Slip’s contents.

With everything ready, Su Han wasted no more time. Sun Buzhou activated the Great Formation. At once, the Formation Patterns lit up, and a dense Spatial Force enveloped Su Han’s body, giving him a tingling, electric sensation.

In the next moment, Su Han’s figure flashed and vanished from within the Great Formation.

Sun Buzhou did not leave immediately, however. Instead, he took out a treasured jade. Soon, the treasured jade began to shine brightly, conjuring a familiar figure of light: Saint You Heng.

”Lord You Heng, Mr. Su has already departed via the Spatial Transmission Formation,” Sun Buzhou reported respectfully.

”Mm, you’ve done well!” Saint You Heng nodded in approval.

”However, before leaving, Mr. Su gave me a Jade Slip. He said it contained suggestions for improving the Spatial Transmission Formation and hoped I could show it to Master Gong Ming.”

Sun Buzhou dared not keep it to himself and presented the Jade Slip.

”Oh?” Saint You Heng was slightly taken aback. Su Han had managed to infiltrate the Heavenly Demon Cult and empty their treasure vault, and he had also cleared out the Seven Stars Sect’s treasury. His talent in the Formation Path was undeniable.

Still, Saint You Heng had not expected Su Han to be capable of offering suggestions to improve the Spatial Transmission Formation. That was not something a junior in the Physique Realm could do. However, formations were not his area of expertise, so he needed to leave the assessment to a professional.

”Send the Jade Slip over. I’ll have Gong Ming take a look at it.”

Although Saint You Heng was skeptical, he still thought highly of Su Han and decided to give it a try. At worst, Gong Ming would have made a trip for nothing, which was not a great cost.

”Yes!”

Sun Buzhou activated the Spatial Transmission Formation once more, sending the Jade Slip through.

In the next moment, the Jade Slip appeared in Saint You Heng’s hand. He probed it with his Divine Sense and saw the suggestions Su Han had inscribed. Based on his own judgment, the suggestions seemed potentially useful, but he needed Master Gong Ming’s expert opinion to be sure.

”Pavilion Master, you summoned me.”

Soon after, an elder entered the room and bowed respectfully to Saint You Heng. The elder was clad in white robes, with white hair and a beard to match. He carried the extraordinary and refined air of a transcendent immortal. Moreover, as he walked, Formation Patterns materialized beneath his feet, as if each step created a new formation.

This was Gong Ming, not only a genius of the Formation Path but also a man who had been immersed in its study his entire life, earning him the nickname ”Formation Addict.”

Gong Ming had achieved his cultivation through the Formation Path and possessed extraordinarily high innate talent. His strength surpassed even that of Ye Chuanfeng and the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign; he was a Semi-Saint.

So-called Semi-Saints were powerful experts who possessed the power of a Saint but had not yet comprehended the laws of time. They were only half a step from the Saint Realm. With the right opportunity, they could break through and attain sainthood.

However, such opportunities were exceedingly rare. One person might experience a sudden flash of insight and achieve Instant Sanctification, while another might remain stuck for their entire life.

Gong Ming was the latter; he had been stuck at the Semi-Saint Realm for thirty years.

”A young friend has offered some suggestions for improving the Spatial Transmission Formation you built. I’ve asked you to come and take a look.” Saint You Heng handed the Jade Slip to Gong Ming.

”A young friend?” Gong Ming sounded dismissive. ”Lord Pavilion Master, I have immersed myself in the study of formations for seventy years. While I may not have reached Great Accomplishment, my work is not something to be critiqued by some greenhorn. Still, since it is you who asks, I will see what sort of ’suggestions’ he has to offer.”

Gong Ming regarded formations as sacred and was immensely proud of his own Formation Mastery. He did not believe anyone else could possibly offer valuable advice.

In the next moment, Gong Ming’s Divine Sense probed the Jade Slip and he began to read. His expression changed after a single glance, and then he became completely engrossed, utterly mesmerized.

WHOOSH!

A dense Dao Rhyme began to manifest around Gong Ming. Seeing this, Saint You Heng was stunned.

Enlightenment!

This was the legendary Enlightenment State, a fortuitous state that could be encountered but never sought. He never imagined that a simple Jade Slip could propel Gong Ming into such a state.

For seven straight days, Gong Ming did not awaken. Instead, the Dao Rhyme around him grew increasingly intense, filling the entire room. Throughout this time, Saint You Heng never left his side, personally standing guard.

GUSH!

Suddenly, golden light erupted from beneath Gong Ming. It flowed like water from a fountain, surging continuously until it completely enveloped him. A dense and powerful Holy Might erupted from his body. In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, the winds and clouds churned, and heavenly phenomena manifested one after another.

The Erupting Golden Spring... this is the sign of Instant Sanctification! Gong Ming actually broke through during his Enlightenment!

Even though Saint You Heng had been mentally prepared for this possibility, he was still profoundly shocked to witness it firsthand.

A single Jade Slip from Su Han had shattered the shackles that had bound Gong Ming for thirty years, allowing him to achieve Enlightenment and attain Instant Sanctification in a single day.

This... This is simply inconceivable!
