Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 1475 - 784: Setting Up the Formation

"I've studied formations somewhat; let me help with the arrangement!" Li Yuanba stepped up to the group of array masters right then, addressing Master Wang He directly.

He had already sensed that something was amiss; the spatial rift was no longer as stable as before amid these relentless assaults.

Thanks to his practice of the 'Divine Foot Skill', his awareness of spatial energy far surpassed that of most other cultivators.

Should these strikes persist, the spatial rift could very well crumble entirely.

The fallout from such a collapse would be utterly devastating. Sure, the rift itself would vanish, yet prior to that, its unleashed force could obliterate everything across a massive area.

Even more horrifying, this was inside Hell Cave Heaven; IBMz15's analysis indicated a 70% chance that the implosion would devour and wipe out the entire Hell Cave Heaven.

And none of the cultivators inside Hell Cave Heaven would escape that fate, vanishing right alongside it.

"Li Yuanba, this isn't something to take lightly!" Master Wang He jumped in surprise at Li Yuanba's declaration and responded with grave seriousness.

As for Li Yuanba, the Yuqing Sect had thoroughly investigated him, so Master Wang He knew his background inside out.

Li Yuanba had ascended to Nascent Soul Middle Stage by age one hundred, serving as a core sword cultivator in Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion with formidable battle prowess, having single-handedly defeated mighty cultivators from super powers.

This represented nearly the peak fighting capability for Nascent Soul Middle Stage experts, yet Yuqing Sect's reports also highlighted Li Yuanba's remarkable talent in alchemy.

Achieving mastery in both warfare and alchemy before turning one hundred was nothing short of miraculous. The notion that he could match multiple array masters in formations? Master Wang He refused to buy it.

"I'm dead serious; I sense the spatial rift is barely hanging in there!" Li Yuanba gestured toward the spatial rift as he insisted.

Master Wang He paused briefly. Truth be told, he too had detected the rift's growing instability, which worsened with every barrage from the assembled great cultivators.

"Fine, you can join in, but pull out right away if it goes wrong!" He gestured dismissively and declared.

A few array masters itched to protest, yet with Master Wang He's approval, they held their tongues.

Still, they figured that the instant Li Yuanba slipped up, they'd boot him out. This domain belonged to array masters; no amount of genius in other areas touched the realm of formations.

The array masters could plainly tell Li Yuanba wasn't one of them, lacking the telltale Array Formation Starlight Sea that defined their kind.

The Array Formation Starlight Sea marked true array masters; without it, Li Yuanba would have to crunch formation calculations manually every single time.

Li Yuanba paid no mind to the array masters' doubts. He invoked the 'Divine Eye Skill' and linked up with IBMz15, relaying the on-the-ground scene to it.

Within seconds, IBMz15 pinpointed the exact spot for a formation base.

His divine sense seized a formation base and positioned it precisely as directed.

"You..." The nearby array master started to reprimand Li Yuanba, only to freeze upon inspecting the placed formation base—its energy flow was flawless.

The rest of the array masters stared in disbelief; Li Yuanba's moves defied everything they knew.

Guided by IBMz15, Li Yuanba deployed the second formation base via divine sense, prompting the array masters to yank at their hair in frustration without realizing it.

How could an array master devoid of the Array Formation Starlight Sea compute like this? Was Li Yuanba just using his raw brainpower?

Li Yuanba proceeded to lay down the third formation base, and that's when Master Wang He spotted the anomaly.

Before, placing even one formation base demanded extended effort from the whole team of array masters.

Yet Li Yuanba handled formations like a game, slamming down three bases in mere moments.

"Does the formation he's building have any flaws?" Master Wang He skipped asking Li Yuanba and turned to the array master who'd nearly spoken up earlier.

"Senior Wang, his skill in formations is beyond anything I've witnessed; I feel utterly humbled. We call ourselves array masters, but we're mere frogs at the bottom of a well, blind to what a true array master looks like!" The array master answered with bitter resignation.

Being dubbed a master meant cresting the heights of one's discipline.

Array masters raised by super powers especially boasted vast troves of knowledge and formation lore, outshining their peers—and that was the root of these array masters' arrogance.

But Li Yuanba's effortless setup demolished their self-assurance.

Now Master Wang He reeled in shock; his gaze fixed on Li Yuanba, a sudden urge surging to eliminate him on the spot.

The greater Li Yuanba's genius, the deadlier the threat he became.

Given Li Yuanba's exploits in Hell Cave Heaven, virtually every great cultivator was convinced his rise to Great Cultivator was inevitable.

Upon reaching Great Cultivator status, with the combat strength he'd shown, Li Yuanba could vault straight to the elite tier among them.

By then, he'd endanger every super power, particularly those like Yuqing Sect that had crossed him.

Still, bound by oath contracts, Master Wang He couldn't make a move against Li Yuanba in this place.

Li Yuanba caught a brief flash of killing intent, grasping the situation instantly. Without the need to protect himself and his fellow sword cultivators from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion, he never would have revealed his formation talents.

This display was far too freakish, slamming Master Wang He with a staggering blow—one that clearly worked against Li Yuanba's interests.
