Guan Yue stayed at Qilin Academy for five days. Tai Shi Xiao Xiao had also inquired about the circumstances of Guan Yue being deceived, but Du Diwei and Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian had already fled, so the matter was set aside. However, Guan Yue did not forget about Du Diwei and Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian; instead, he harbored even more hatred and found it harder to forget.
Of course, Tai Shi Xiao Xiao's encouragement for Ouyang Shaohua to practice Magic Supreme Technique was firmly rejected by Guan Yue. He told Ouyang Shaohua, "Senior Sister, practicing Magic Supreme Technique mainly involves devouring, and it produces a large amount of black gas within the body, which is not suitable for women. Moreover, magic can only be used within the academy. Orthodox Cultivators are very averse to Disciple practicing magic. Therefore, you cannot practice it."
Ouyang Shaohua naturally believed what Guan Yue said and abandoned the idea.
Dongfang Yu, Teacher He, Du Diwei, Yin Dongnan, Xuan Yuan Shuang Tian, and Miao Fang were now Guan Yue's greatest enemies. Guan Yue constantly thought about how to deal with them. However, his current strength was insufficient, so he could only endure!
Five days later, Guan Yue bid farewell to Ouyang Shaohua and set off with the Red-Furred Monkey. This time, they were headed to a place called Abyss of the Coastal Depths. It was the homeland of the Red-Furred Monkey and contained items that were urgently needed by the Western Celestial Law Ancestor. Thus, Guan Yue resolutely took him along.
Abyss of the Coastal Depths was located at the northern end of Myriad. Guan Yue needed to cross the Southern Source Empire and then travel north along the Elenqin River. After reaching Vast Empire, he would continue north for over a hundred thousand kilometers to arrive at Abyss of the Coastal Depths.
The journey was very long, but Guan Yue's heart was filled with anticipation. He was very curious about this trip and hoped that through this journey, he could enrich his experience and strengthen his Combat Power.
Following the advice of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, they chose to fly through remote areas or barren lands along the way. Throughout the journey, Guan Yue contemplated how to use his Mental Strength to form a Binding Formation. His Origin Energy was average, but his Mental Strength was exceptionally strong; similarly, his Willpower and Consciousness far exceeded that of his peers. Therefore, he aimed to leverage his strengths while avoiding weaknesses. He continuously communicated with the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, who had not spoken for nearly ten thousand years and was very willing to converse with Guan Yue. Each question was answered in depth until Guan Yue fully understood.
Guan Yue felt he had stumbled upon a great fortune—having such an enigmatic Great Power teaching him daily made it hard not to improve.
Guan Yue also inquired about the realm of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor. The Ancestor mentioned it was Upper Profound; Guan Yue sincerely did not understand and chose not to ask further since the Ancestor's knowledge left him in awe. However, now the Western Celestial Law Ancestor felt very dejected. Once a super expert and ruler of the universe, he had now become a Red-Furred Monkey with no Combat Power at all. This stark contrast weighed heavily on him; if Guan Yue had not accidentally discovered him, he might have remained trapped among stones until death. This situation brought the Western Celestial Law Ancestor close to emotional collapse. Yet seeing everything about Guan Yue and contemplating what achievements he might attain in the future gradually restored his confidence. As long as Guan Yue could grow stronger and help him find several rare treasures he needed, there would be hope for him to regain his former glory.
Currently, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor often clashed with Gao Yuxin in sharp exchanges; through these arguments, both made progress in various aspects. Even Guan Yue found inspiration from their debates.
As they passed through areas inhabited by spirit beasts, Guan Yue attempted to capture them using his self-conceived mental binding technique. After repeated trials, he successfully captured a Seventh-Level Spirit Beast firmly. Guan Yue felt immense joy in his heart.
Seeing Guan Yue's actions, Gao Yuxin suggested, "Brother Guan, your mental Binding Formation has basically taken shape; however, you could incorporate formation souls into it. If you add formation souls, you might even be able to capture Ninth-Order Spirit Beasts."
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor also suggested, "Guan Yue, you can apply the principles of Mind Master and the techniques of a mage to the Binding Formation. With the combination of the three masters, its power will surely double."
Gao Yuxin quickly interjected, "If we add Nine Pulse Will, it will be even more powerful." Clearly, Gao Yuxin was trying to take credit alongside the Western Celestial Law Ancestor. She showed no signs of weakness.
Guan Yue thought about it and realized that both of them had valid points. However, incorporating the soul of the formation, the techniques of a mage's Mind Master, and adding Nine Pulse Will would require significant effort.
Thus, during the long journey, Guan Yue did not stop practicing.
One day, while Guan Yue was using Magic Supreme Technique against a spirit beast, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor exclaimed in surprise, "Guan Yue, you actually know Magic Supreme Technique? Haha, I am very familiar with Magic Supreme Technique. I didn't expect that young friend Guan Yue would also master such a powerful technique from our era. It’s quite simple now. Come, let me help you."
Over the next few dozen days, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor meticulously taught Guan Yue how to use Magic Supreme Technique, incorporating Nine Pulse Will, Consciousness Attack, mage tactics, Mind Master tactics, Mental Cage, and even including the soul of the formation. This formed a domain approximately two hundred square meters in size, truly belonging to Guan Yue!
Within this domain, anyone whose realm was not higher than Guan Yue's would undoubtedly perish. It could even engage in super battles. This was Guan Yue's Composite Domain!
Guan Yue confidently used this Composite Domain and could even capture an ordinary Eighth-Order Spirit Beast! Some less powerful Ninth-Order Spirit Beasts could even be defeated by Boundary Keeper Disciple!
Guan Yue was filled with confidence; although his realm had not increased, his Combat Power had multiplied several times. If he were to encounter Dongfang Yu now, it would be Dongfang Yu who would have to flee!
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor said to Guan Yue, "Guan Yue, if you master time-space conversion as well, this Composite Domain can become an independent space. At that point, anyone who enters this space will have to obey your commands."
Time-space conversion? A new expectation arose in Guan Yue's heart. I must learn it!
Gao Yuxin scoffed dismissively and said, "Brother Guan, I can compress your planar formation right now."
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor did not believe her.
Gao Yuxin was about to have Guan Yue cast the Composite Domain, and she indeed formed a circular space of two hundred square meters. Any creature entering this circular space was completely under Guan Yue's control.
Gao Yuxin mockingly said to the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, "Controlling time and space is just basic for me. The problem is that Brother Guan is currently weak and has nothing to showcase. This Composite Domain can barely be controlled, but Brother Guan needs to practice more to solidify the formation; then I can cast it faster."
Seeing Gao Yuxin competing with the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, Guan Yue also smiled.
Through more than two months of trials, Guan Yue became more proficient in the Magic Supreme Technique and truly formed his own Composite Domain. With Gao Yuxin's help, he was able to transform the shape of the Composite Domain, which was an unexpected gain for Guan Yue.
Of course, during battles with spirit beasts, Guan Yue did not forget to use the Li Zu Divine Fist and the Seven Swords Sky Sword Technique. He continuously reused the Delicate Sword Technique, Clouds Above Flying Flowers, Dragon Barbarian Technique, and Wuji Battle Technique, making his Combat Power even stronger.
As he fought against spirit beasts, Guan Yue's practical experience grew richer.
After traversing the long Southern Source Empire territory, they arrived at the Vast Empire.
Once inside the Vast Empire, Guan Yue made a special trip to the capital city of the Myriad Kingdom, Wandering City.
Wandering City was an enormous city; as soon as Guan Yue entered, he felt its brilliance. Skyscrapers towered above him, and wide avenues stretched towards the sky. Everywhere displayed the endless prosperity and wealth of a great nation.
Guan Yue noticed that everyone in Myriad Kingdom practiced martial arts even more fervently than in Southern Source Empire. The city was filled with large signs from various sects, academies, and prominent families. Crowds flowed continuously through streets lined with intricately designed buildings, showcasing boundless vitality and a thriving atmosphere.
Guan Yue had never been to Southern Source Empire's Imperial Capital Nanyang City, but seeing the splendor of Wandering City made him think that Nanyang City must also be incredibly magnificent.
Observing everything in Wandering City, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor sighed deeply: "I have been here before in the Vast Empire; however, now things are different. Old friends are gone, and most enemies have hidden away to cultivate in their own spaces. Alas, I am too ashamed to face anyone in this state. Let’s quickly attend to our business."
Gao Yuxin said, "Brother Guan, did you notice? There is a huge formation in Wandering City that will activate immediately if any unexpected situation arises, and no one in the city can resist it."
Western Celestial Law Ancestor was surprised: "Little Girl, I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of formations. The formations in Wandering City are intertwined with the city itself; they have almost merged into the urban landscape. Without a certain level of research on formations, it would be impossible to discover this grand array." Guan Yue noticed Western Celestial Law Ancestor's genuine praise for Gao Yuxin.
Gao Yuxin said proudly, "Since Brother Guan is particularly interested in formations, I naturally had to study them as well. The information stored within me is not trivial; it is vast and endless. It is inexhaustible and unending; I am a treasure."
After hearing Gao Yuxin's explanation, Guan Yue looked towards Wandering City again and indeed found hidden killing intent among the myriad phenomena of the city. That killing intent reached the heavens but was also very obscure.
Western Celestial Law Ancestor marveled at this formation.
Guan Yue was also inspired by this situation. He noted that if he needed to protect a place today, he could construct such a grand array.
As a young man, Guan Yue had a Red-Furred Monkey perched on his shoulder. In the bustling Wandering City, he naturally went unnoticed and walked boldly without worry. However, the expenses in Wandering City were extremely high. After living there for three days, he had spent all his gold, which mostly came from Ouyang Shaohua's provisions.
With no choice, Guan Yue had to leave Wandering City. This trip had opened his eyes and broadened his horizons; he gained a preliminary understanding of giant formations, making it worthwhile.
He traversed through deep mountains and forests again, moving faster than before—over twice as fast as when he first emerged. This was the result of his comprehensive application of various abilities, which greatly enhanced his cultivation level. He had truly reached the Peak of the Human Realm, poised to break through to the Guardian Realm at any moment and become a Senior Cultivator! He was about to join the ranks of powerful individuals in the Southern Source Empire!
In the Southern Source Empire, once one breaks through to the Guardian Realm, they are considered strong; the empire will respect you and provide necessary conditions and resources or invite you to join the Royal Guard, enjoying treatment akin to that of a Master. Alternatively, one could join a major Sect and become their honored guest.
While flying at high speed and conversing with Gao Yuxin and Western Celestial Law Ancestor, suddenly, intense sounds of battle came from ahead.
What could this situation be?
