Chapter 927 - 930: Martial Force

"Formation?"

Daji frowned slightly. Most of the formations she knew belonged to the Mythical Realm, such as the Execution Immortal Formation and the Wanxian Formation.

As for the formations of the Immortal Emperor Realm, both Daji and Su Miaoyun were not very familiar with them.

"Yes, formations." Wu Tian nodded. "Array Masters are the mainstream profession in today’s world. Formations are diverse and strange. From my perspective, someone has placed a Maze Formation here, making people walk in circles endlessly."

Among various professions, formations are currently the most well-developed.

Formations can aid in cultivation, kill, and defend. Various formations emerge endlessly. Aside from Martial Artists, Array Masters are the number one profession, and that is already beyond dispute.

"Like Martial Artists, many professions also have various levels. The higher the level of the Array Master, the more powerful and comprehensive their formations." Master Li the Fortune Teller was very knowledgeable about many professions and spoke slowly, "I’m not sure when it started, over millennia, but the higher the level of an Array Master or similar professions, the greater the Heaven’s Benefits they receive each month."

"Heaven’s Benefits?"

Wu Tian frowned slightly. This was something he didn’t understand.

It’s akin to jobs in Earth City; the higher the position, the better the pay.

Heaven’s Benefits are the wages of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

But Heaven’s Benefits aren’t just money.

Master Li the Fortune Teller explained, Heaven’s Benefits are mostly dreams. For instance, there was once a powerful Array Master who had a dream of discovering an ancient tomb on a hill.

The next day, he went to that hill and indeed found an ancient tomb beneath it.

This is what is called Heaven’s Benefits.

The higher the level, the more valuable the dreams become.

Though Wu Tian is the Ancestor of Blood Refinement, Blood Refiners have yet to be recognized on the continent. Heaven’s Benefits? Don’t even think about it. It’s like when the food delivery profession first emerged, and few knew about it, so it certainly didn’t pay as well as it does now.

The situation of Blood Refiners is akin to this.

"Since you can see that it’s a formation, then break it." Miaoshan smiled. At this moment, Daji also noticed Miaoshan and was startled. She felt that Miaoshan resembled Nuwa, yet was different. Daji thought about it and couldn’t help but recall Yuanshi Tianzun’s disciple, Cihang Daoist.

There are generally four ways to break a formation. First, the Array Master who laid it reclaims the formation,

Second, use brute force to break it. Like the saying ’one force conquers ten techniques,’ that’s exactly it.

Third, if the formation has a spirit and acknowledges you, the formation won’t harm you, but such occurrences are rare throughout history.

Fourth, is to understand the formation and know its weaknesses.

Wu Tian wasn’t in the mood to study the formation and look for its flaws.

Wu Tian simply punched, using the Lava Element at his command. With one punch, a Lava Dragon ignited the surroundings,

and the formation shattered.

"How could you break the formation I painstakingly set up?"

As the formation broke, just as Wu Tian and the others were about to move forward, they heard footsteps and an angry voice approaching.

Wu Tian and the others looked to see a group of people gradually appearing in the distance. A young man, around twenty-five, with cultivation around the sixth rank of the Tongxuan Realm, stood at the forefront,

accompanied by a troop of soldiers. The leading young man was furious, and his anger shattered his demeanor.

Though the young man seemed to hold a considerable status on the continent, Wu Tian remained unperturbed, as none could make him panic. He took a step forward and spoke calmly, "I wish to enter the Forest of Qi. You set up a formation here, and I broke it. What’s wrong with that?"

"What’s wrong? Setting up this formation cost me some effort, and you casually broke it. What about my efforts?"

The leading young man huffed angrily, but when he noticed Qin Yuhan, Miaoshan, and Daji, he couldn’t help but be captivated.

Qin Yuhan, Daji, and Miaoshan each had their own unique charm, like the four seasons, each with its own beauty.

Daji was the type to captivate men, a seductive type of woman,

whereas Qin Yuhan and Miaoshan had different styles.

"Fine, I won’t hold it against you." The young man, considering the presence of the three beauties, spoke up even before Wu Tian could, "As long as you leave here, we’ll forget this matter."

"Don’t joke around." Wu Tian shook his head. He was determined to enter the Forest of Qi.

"I’m not holding it against you. As long as you don’t enter the Forest of Qi, you can leave anytime you want. I’ve already compromised to this extent; what more do you want from me?"

The young man felt he was being generous, yet Wu Tian and the others still insisted on entering the Forest of Qi,

which was excessive—too excessive, in his view.

The young man gritted his teeth inwardly.

"What kind of worldview is this?" Wu Tian almost laughed at the young man’s words.

Wu Tian could tell by his luxurious attire and speech that he was like a hothouse flower.

Someone seasoned by hardship would never speak as he did.

He had this enigmatic confidence, believing that the reason was on his side.

"If you don’t listen, don’t blame me for taking action." The young man waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately drew their blades,

"Are you sure?" Dao Feng and the others exchanged glances, not needing Wu Tian to intervene. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

They let out a cold snort, and their aura surged. The troop, all in the Tongxuan Realm, were no match for Dao Feng and the others.

"Uh..." The young man froze, seemingly just realizing something. He quickly said, "Not everything needs to be solved by force. Using force is the way of the warrior. I’m not... You, put away your weapons."

He shouted once more at his troops.

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers sheathed their weapons.

"I think the conflict between us can be resolved amicably, don’t you agree?" Realizing that he couldn’t win against Wu Tian and the others, the young man approached them with a forced smile and a gentle demeanor.

"Why are you stopping us from entering?" Wu Tian asked in confusion.

Could it be that someone on the continent recognized that the Element of Qi is not weaker than others, but rather has more potential?

"It’s like this, my grandfather is an Array Master, and he believes that if the Element of Qi is incorporated into a formation, it would enhance the formation’s power," the young man explained and then sighed, "If you wait here until my grandfather comes out, there will be substantial rewards. If you have any requests, feel free to make them. Our Huangfu Family won’t be stingy."

"Huangfu?"

Daji, Miaoshan, and Master Li the Fortune Teller seemed to realize something and looked at Wu Tian. "Shall we wait? The Huangfu Family is not simple."
