Old Master nodded, pondering for a moment, and said, "If that's the case, it would be extremely beneficial for us. It would allow Wei Chen to have more time to familiarize himself with the Void Pressure of the Endless Divine Realm. When the time comes to face the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, it will be much easier."
"When Wei Chen deals with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, we at the Temple of Martial Arts should refrain from intervening if possible."
"Agreed."
As the two concluded their conversation, they noticed new developments on Wei Chen's side.
The crowd gathered at the Temple of Martial Arts watched as Wei Chen's movements gradually slowed down.
At the same time, wisps of ethereal energy began to coalesce around Qian Youshi, forming a preliminary array.
Gasps filled the air; could it be that he intended to use an array against Qian Youshi?
No one had expected this!
"What’s going on? That fellow is actually a Formation Master?"
"How old is he? How could he possibly have such advanced knowledge of formations?"
"It seems his array is quite formidable; it might truly pose a threat to Qian Youshi!"
"Ordinary arrays wouldn't trouble Qian Youshi, but from what I see, Wei Chen's array could indeed cause him some difficulties."
"Exactly! Did you not see how Qian Youshi's expression changed?"
Wei Chen continued to construct his formation, while Qian Youshi, at the center of the storm, appeared to be struggling in pain.
He could clearly sense that if Wei Chen continued like this, he would definitely run into trouble. However, he had already put himself in this predicament in front of so many people by allowing Wei Chen three moves. Now, as Wei Chen was setting up the formation, it counted as the first move...
If he were to counterattack now, Wei Chen would have no chance to complete the formation. But Qian Youshi absolutely could not do that; it would be a blow to his dignity.
"This kid has some skill, using a formation against me... But with his level of power, merely at the Secondary God realm, what threat could he possibly pose to me?"
Qian Youshi muttered to himself, yet deep down he was quite worried. That sense of crisis was not unfounded; it was very real. The saying about a duck being stubborn even when it's dead seemed to apply here.
Everyone watched as Wei Chen set up the formation, and Qian Youshi could only observe him as well, feeling increasingly tense.
"Qian Youshi is in some trouble; he insisted on giving Wei Chen three moves, and now he cannot go back on his word. Otherwise, Wei Chen will have no chance at all."
"Just wait and see. I don't believe that someone as young as Wei Chen can create a formation capable of harming a Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle expert. It's probably just for show and meaningless."
"Look at how slowly he's setting up the formation; true masters set up formations quickly. How could it take this long?"
"Exactly, that kid is out of luck; he's just trying to scare people. Can't you see that Qian Youshi isn't even flustered?"
A chorus of mocking voices echoed in Wei Chen's and Qian Youshi's ears.
Wei Chen remained unconcerned, while Qian Youshi felt helpless. He understood better than anyone the strength and weakness of the formation Wei Chen was creating. As time passed, Qian Youshi began to regret his hasty decision to allow Wei Chen three moves, leading to an uncertain situation where the pressure on him grew heavier.
On the other hand, Wei Chen was in high spirits; his formation was nearing completion, leaving Qian Youshi with no chance of turning the tide.
"This fool actually waited for me to set up my formation. My skills in formation are not something I acquired for nothing. For many years, the Demon Lotus Emperor and that old man Han Mang have pushed me to refine my abilities in formations. That is my greatest talent, the foundation of my existence!"
"In the Endless Divine Realm, while other abilities are hard to wield, especially Stellar Power which must not be exposed, Formation Assignment can be showcased."
Wei Chen seized a great opportunity; he aimed to trap Qian Youshi with his formation while keeping his own strength hidden, achieving two goals at once.
Just like now, his speed in setting up the formation was slow because Qian Youshi had given him the chance. To those watching from the Temple of Martial Arts, his formation appeared mediocre after all; who would have the opportunity to act so slowly in battle?
The key was that Wei Chen was concealing his true capabilities.
With Divine Power mixed with a hint of Stellar Power, the gods of the Endless Divine Realm could not perceive it. In that case, his formation's power would be formidable; using Stellar Power as a catalyst, it would draw upon a bit of the Power of the Stars—making it hard not to be strong. With such a slow setup speed, who would care about his formation in future battles?
In reality, Wei Chen's speed in setting up formations was far from what it appeared now.
Finally, Wei Chen stopped moving; his formation was fully established.
Though it felt like a long time, it had only taken half a minute. In high-level confrontations, half a minute could be deadly. The pit Qian Youshi dug for himself needed him to bury it.
Seeing Wei Chen finally stop, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, if he continued setting up formations any longer, it would have been unbearable. Even if given three chances, he shouldn't take this long!
"Qian Youshi, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Now, you can admit defeat," Wei Chen said lightly as he looked at Qian Youshi inside the formation.
Qian Youshi sneered, "Feel free to use any tricks you have; this little formation of yours cannot trap me."
"Oh? Is that so? My Thousand Threads Binding Formation should have no problem restraining a Fifth-Level Deity like you. Unless you've reached the Supreme God Realm, then I would be helpless. Otherwise, just stay inside; this formation will naturally dissolve after ten breaths. Until then, unless someone breaks it from the outside, there’s no way out from within."
"Of course, if you admit defeat, you can always find someone to help break the formation; breaking a formation isn't that difficult."
Wei Chen smiled at Qian Youshi, feeling confident after such a long time setting up the array.
Hearing Wei Chen's words, Qian Youshi laughed instead of getting angry. "You have quite the audacity! As a Secondary God, what kind of formation can you possibly set up? I’d like to see just how effective your formation really is."
With that, Qian Youshi summoned a surge of Divine Power and swung his hand to unleash a Palm Strike, striking fiercely at the formation.
In an instant, the formation erupted in a dazzling display of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, resembling seven swords. The Palm Power was shattered, and with a whistling sound, the seven swords shot toward Qian Youshi from all directions.
Such an attack couldn't truly harm Qian Youshi, but it certainly left him flustered and on the defensive.
Unwilling to back down, after neutralizing the seven sword energies, Qian Youshi gathered his strength again and struck at the formation once more.
Immediately, seven identical swords emerged again, putting Qian Youshi in a difficult position.
The crowd gasped in astonishment.
"That formation is surprisingly strong!"
"Yeah, even Qian Youshi can't break it?"
"That can't be right. The energy of the formation will eventually deplete. As long as Qian Youshi keeps attacking it, the energy will run out and the formation will break."
"But did you see those seven swords? Those attacks may not be lethal, but they are definitely uncomfortable."
"Who knows? Just wait and see. I think Qian Youshi is doomed. Wei Chen is someone the Master of the Hall values highly. If it weren't for some special circumstances, how could the Master of the Hall pay so much attention to Wei Chen?"
"Exactly, hahahaha!"
Now it was the turn of Old Master and the disciples under Gongye Long's faction to be arrogant. With Wei Chen in a winning position, it was hard for them not to gloat. They had previously refrained from talking too much, fearing that Wei Chen might suffer a humiliating defeat, which would be embarrassing for them. But now, seeing that Wei Chen had already secured an undefeated stance, they felt justified in their arrogance; it was only natural.
Old Master and Gongye Long exchanged glances, both seeing shock reflected in each other's eyes.
"Master of the Hall, what's going on here? Wei Chen's formation isn't very strong; I can tell it's just average. How could it inexplicably possess such powerful force?" Gongye Long asked Old Master.
Old Master pondered for a moment and replied, "In my view, it must be due to the stacking of Chain Formation techniques. That kid is practically a formation master! According to news from the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System, Wei Chen's Formation Assignment has always been quite good. In many battles, he has used formations to turn danger into safety. This time, Qian Youshi overstepped his bounds and lost to Wei Chen; he brought this upon himself."
"But it's not exactly a loss; Wei Chen hasn't been able to effectively harm Qian Youshi," Gongye Long said.
Old Master chuckled, "Do you think harm is necessary? For someone as proud as Qian Youshi, making him embarrassed is the greatest harm."
Gongye Long nodded in agreement. They were all too familiar with Qian Youshi's character; his pride had led him to be outmaneuvered by Wei Chen in front of so many people, causing him to lose face completely.
Everyone watched as Qian Youshi inside the formation exerted all his strength to attack it, only to be met with wave after wave of fierce sword energy assaults that left him struggling for breath.
"Why does that formation show no signs of weakening at all?"
"Yeah, it's strange; the formation's energy seems inexhaustible!"
Qian Youshi thought he could break Wei Chen's formation by exhausting its energy, but with each probing attack, he grew increasingly desperate. The energy of that formation showed no signs of diminishing; in fact, with each attack he launched, it seemed to grow even stronger!
"What does that even mean?"
Qian Youshi shouted angrily, "Wei Chenzi, what kind of trick are you playing?"
Wei Chen coldly glanced at Qian Youshi and said, "My formation is infused with the power of the earth. Unless the Snow Ridge Mountains are depleted, my formation's energy will not run out. Your calculations are worthless now."
A formation built on the foundation of the Snow Ridge Mountains?
The crowd gasped in shock.
Wei Chen continued, "If you admit defeat, then everything will be fine. I can help you break the formation."
"You’re talking nonsense! How could I possibly lose?" Qian Youshi retorted furiously.
"Then just stay put. In ten minutes, you'll be able to come out," Wei Chen said, waving his hand as he flew toward the Temple of Martial Arts.
Old Master and Gongye Long quietly followed behind.
"Gentlemen, after eavesdropping for so long, do you have any advice to offer?"
