In the Illusion Maze, as described in the formation manual given to Wei Chen by Old Man Han Mang, it is the highest-ranked formation. However, what effect could it possibly have in the Endless Divine Realm, which is four or five levels stronger than the Soul World?
The answer is undoubtedly affirmative; it would have an effect. Otherwise, how could Wei Chen possibly bring forth the Illusion Maze?
To some so-called Formation Masters in the Endless Divine Realm, the Illusion Maze would appear to be an extremely low-level formation, incapable of confusing any figures from the Divine Realm. In the Endless Divine Realm, gods are everywhere; at the very least, there are Boundary Gods from the Spatial Plane. Anyone who has even a hint of divinity in their cultivation realm would not be affected by Wei Chen's Illusion Maze, rendering it utterly ineffective.
Of course, those are merely the thoughts of those so-called Formation Masters; the true situation is beyond their understanding.
Wei Chen truly deserves his title as a master of formations.
Back when he was still in the Soul World, when the Demon Lotus Emperor appeared to choose a successor, he selected Wei Chen precisely because of his Formation Assignment. If it weren't for that, Wei Chen's life trajectory would have remained that of a bullied individual, unable to protect his beloved sister Weirou, let alone become so formidable now.
The Demon Lotus Emperor chose Wei Chen entirely because he recognized Wei Chen's exceptional Formation Assignment at that time. This talent was beyond description; after all, the Demon Lotus Emperor had suffered considerable losses in Hua Xia World due to formations. Therefore, when seeking a successor, he deemed Formation Assignment indispensable while everything else could be negotiated.
Wei Chen has never disappointed the Demon Lotus Emperor. Except for a period during his time in the Demon Realm when he was preoccupied with other matters and neglected his practice of formations, he has consistently created miracles using formations.
To an ordinary Formation Master, the Illusion Maze might seem like a low-level item. But in Wei Chen's hands, it is entirely different.
Wei Chen has conducted extensive research on the Illusion Maze and has gradually come to understand that the classification of formation levels is not as strict as one might think. Often, with just slight modifications, a formation can become significantly more powerful.
Those seemingly minor adjustments require strong Formation Assignment skills and profound knowledge of formations, along with exceptional judgment and mental strength—each element is essential. Wei Chen made slight alterations to the foundational Illusion Maze that resulted in transformative changes.
If any Formation Master were to witness Wei Chen's modifications, they would surely be left speechless.
Is this even possible?
Wei Chen's approach involved adding new layers of Illusion Maze to the weaker areas of the existing formation. It sounds simple enough, but executing it requires perfect integration between small-scale and large-scale Illusion Mazes, demanding a high level of control that most Formation Masters simply cannot achieve.
Seeing Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, flying around above Azure Green Pool with a young man left those from various factions astonished.
"Who is that guy? How can he make Yue Songyang follow him around like that?"
"Yes, Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master holds a high position, but why does it seem like that person is being protected by Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master?"
"Who could be important enough to be protected by Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master?"
Whispers of suspicion circulated, but soon they thought of the young man who had recently risen to fame at the Temple of Martial Arts headquarters—Wei Chen!
"I see now; that person must be Wei Chen. His reputation at the Temple of Martial Arts headquarters has been quite impressive lately."
"Rumor has it that he achieved first-class merit and was inscribed on the Merit Tablet. I wonder if that's true."
"It must be true. I know a bit about this matter. Not only did he achieve first-class merit, but he also became a Core Disciple. Even the previous Zuo Leng, Xiao Jian, and Pan Dalong have to respectfully call him Senior Brother now."
"Indeed, by all accounts, he is the future Hall Master of the Temple of Martial Arts."
"But strangely enough, he was brought into the Temple of Martial Arts by Jin Ge, the Master of the Hall. He should belong to that faction, yet it seems he has a good relationship with Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master."
"Yes, it's a bit Strange. Could it be that his abilities are so impressive that even Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master is impressed by him?"
"I've heard that his rapid rise is due to his exceptional skills in Formation Assignment and array techniques. The Temple of Martial Arts has always lacked talent in formations, and perhaps our entire Southern Ming Divine Domain has been weak in this area. That's likely why this Fellow has garnered support from both factions within the Temple of Martial Arts."
"I think that's about right. Talented formation experts are hard to come by in our Southern Ming Divine Domain. It's only natural for Wei Chen to receive such treatment."
"One thing I can't understand is how Wei Chen, who was clearly from Duke Sui's Residence and known as a notorious failure there, transformed into someone completely different after joining the Temple of Martial Arts."
"I can't figure it out either. How could the Fifth Young Master of Duke Sui's Residence join the Temple of Martial Arts? There must be many twists and turns involved!"
"Why bother thinking about it? Let's just wait and see what happens. Right now, it seems that Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master and Wei Chen are setting up an array."
"It must be a massive Formation Array, capable of enveloping the entire Azure Green Pool!"
"With such a large formation, can that Wei Chen really control it?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's just a way to scare people."
"We'll find out soon enough. Anyway, there's a formation up there. Let's not get involved; we'll wait for the people from Privy Hall, Duke Sui's Residence, and Southern Ming Divine Palace to arrive. Let those strong ones test the waters while we wait to pick up the scraps."
The members of the factions lacked strength, but they were numerous and noisy. They knew a bit about the happenings at the Temple of Martial Arts headquarters, and soon, with all the chatter, news of Wei Chen's miraculous feats within the Temple spread quickly. As people marveled at his abilities, they also speculated on how powerful the formation set up by Wei Chen could truly be.
Seeing is believing; this time, there was ample opportunity to verify whether Wei Chen's formation was genuinely powerful or merely a boast with little substance behind it.
"Are you feeling pressured? Everyone is talking about you," Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, said as he followed Wei Chen. With nothing else to do and unable to comprehend how Wei Chen's formation worked, he shifted his Mental Strength to listen to the discussions among the crowd. With his strength, he could hear them clearly despite their murmurs.
In truth, Yue Songyang was completely indifferent to those people's opinions. He had no interest in their so-called disputes over factional affiliations within the Temple of Martial Arts. It was like a battle between elephants; why would they care about what ants think?
Yue Songyang found it amusing; looking back now, Wei Chen's sudden emergence did seem rather strange.
Wei Chen replied calmly, "There's no pressure. Why should we care about the voices of ants?"
Wei Chen's tone was indeed confident. True, his Divine Realm wasn't particularly strong at the moment, but his Mental Strength, Formation Assignment skills, and Stellar Power were all formidable. Even his currently weakest Divine Realm could be elevated to Sixth Level Divine Realm in just a moment if he wished. At that point, he would have no shortcomings left. To him, those ordinary figures were nothing more than ants.
It wasn't about whether Wei Chen was arrogant; in any Spatial Plane, the strong are revered while the weak are seen as insignificant.
Yue Songyang gave Wei Chen a thumbs-up and said, "Your mindset is excellent; no wonder you've become a Formation Master. I certainly didn't have such maturity at your age."
"Vice Master overpraises me," Wei Chen humbly waved his hand with a seemingly shy smile.
Then both of them stopped chatting. Wei Chen focused intently on setting up the formation while Yue Songyang stood guard beside him without any intention of relaxing. He understood deeply that the people from Privy Hall wanted to kill Wei Chen—at any cost—and once they arrived, things would get serious.
The strength of the Privy Council Master was not to be underestimated; if they decided to strike suddenly, it would be hard to defend against.
After about three or four hours of meticulous work, Wei Chen finally completed the Illusion Maze formation. This time, it wasn't as complicated as when he set up at Azure Green Pool; he could activate it at any moment without needing an array to drive it. After all, the Illusion Maze would only face opponents from Endless Divine Realm—at most Supreme God Realm—unlike the restrictions set by Supreme-Level Experts from Twelfth Level Divine Realm in Lost City.
"Vice Master, the formation is ready. Let's head down. Unless there's an emergency, we shouldn't come into these areas to avoid disrupting my formation," Wei Chen said with a smile as he looked at Yue Songyang.
Yue Songyang, the Deputy Hall Master, nodded in agreement as the two of them reached the shore. The Temple of Martial Arts had already set up new tents, as the previous ones had been destroyed by the massive waves of the Azure Green Pool.
They had barely rested when a Core Disciple rushed into the central tent, reporting urgently, "Vice Master, Qian Youshi, the Senior Brother, people from Duke Sui's Residence have arrived. They are already twenty miles away."
"What's there to panic about? Let them come!" Yue Songyang glared at the disciple with frustration, feeling a sense of disappointment. Before Wei Chen's appearance, Yue Songyang thought highly of his Core Disciples, but after Wei Chen showed up, he felt that his disciples were lacking in both strength and intellect compared to Wei Chen.
As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm!
With a comparison, it became clear that among the Core Disciples of the Temple of Martial Arts, aside from Zuo Leng, Xiao Jian, and Pan Dalong, the rest were simply useless.
Yue Songyang cast a deep glance at Wei Chen and thought to himself, "If this kid truly wishes to join our Temple of Martial Arts as a Core Disciple, how wonderful that would be!"
But Yue Songyang knew it was just wishful thinking. He understood that it was impossible; although he did not yet know Wei Chen's true intentions, such a talented individual would not be able to stay in the Temple of Martial Arts for long.
"Wei Chen, it's only twenty miles away. Shall we go take a look?" Yue Songyang asked Wei Chen.
Wei Chen smiled broadly and nodded, leading the way out of the tent. Yue Songyang, Qian Youshi, and several Ancestor Xu Elders followed in Wei Chen's wake as they soared into the sky, gazing at the approaching figures from Duke Sui's Residence in the distance.
Finally, after a few minutes, the forces from Duke Sui's Residence became clearly visible.
Leading them was Wei Jian, riding a Snow Eagle and clad in Golden Battle Armor.
