My Master Knows It All

Upon seeing the master uncle agree, everyone swiftly flew away.

Moments after they departed, a figure suddenly descended from the void, landing right in front of the Chess Formation.

"Absolute-Formation Senior Sister." Chess Formation glanced at the person before him and said in a low voice, "Senior Sister, you heard it all. This time, the junior brother might need to use that Formation."

The Formation he mentioned was actually not something he developed alone. It was researched together with his senior sister, incorporating many of her theories. After all, he wasn't proficient in crafting a Formation that could be completed in such a short time.

In truth, that Formation was more suitable to be placed on the Formation Map. However, due to the slight differences in his research direction and timeline, he decided to set up the Formation instead.

"The Formation is your research. I've merely provided some ideas. Use it if you wish; there's no need to consult me," Absolute-Formation said with a smile as she looked at her little junior brother. "However, the Supreme Elder does not favor such research. Be careful; when the time comes, the Supreme Elder might have words for you."

Chess Formation's face immediately showed a troubled expression as he said, "As long as our Extreme Formation Sect wins, what does it matter if the Supreme Elder has words for me?

Actually, I understand the Supreme Elder, too. After all, you and I have not followed the Righteous Path of our Hundred Peaks Sect, and the Supreme Elder is only looking out for our well-being."

As he spoke, he glanced at his senior sister and, after a moment of hesitation, added, "Moreover, Senior Sister, you know that, in truth, that person has been quite good to me."

"Hmm?" Immortal Lord Jue Zhen's expression changed suddenly upon hearing this. She grabbed Chess Formation and led him into the Cave Mansion, then with a wave of her hand cast a spell to isolate their conversation. Only then did she look at her junior brother and ask in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"

The person they referred to was none other than the one who defected from the sect.

"In truth, I met him once after that," Chess Formation said with a peculiar expression. "I don't know why he severely injured Senior Brother Mistaken-Formation, who was so close to him. But when I met him, he did not harm me.

At that time, I was researching the Formation outside. You know, Senior Sister, that many formations require specific feng shui and environments to be researched. That's when I encountered him.

Not only did he not harm me, but he also pointed out some issues in my Formation research. Moreover, he said that our Extreme Formation Sect is on the wrong path. We've always studied how to set up more powerful Great Formations, but what if we venture out?

If we are outside and encounter enemies, what then? Others won't give us time to set up formations.

So he said we should walk a different path. At that time, I thought he intended to follow a path like yours, studying the way of the Formation Map.

Yet in the days that followed, I realized I was wrong. He didn't leave, but rather stayed to help me with my Formation research and guide me.

It was then that I realized just how much of a genius he truly is!

I had always considered my talent in formation arts high enough, but after discussing formations with him, I saw the vast gap between us.

It was also then that he told me the reason for his defection."

"Oh? What is it?" Immortal Lord Jue Zhen's eyes widened in surprise looking at her junior brother. Even she didn't know why that guy defected back then, and probably not many in the Extreme Formation Sect knew his reason for defecting. She was astonished that her little junior brother actually knew why.

"It's because of the path he chose. As I mentioned earlier, he believes the road our Extreme Formation Sect is on is wrong, but he also thinks your path is incorrect. He walks a third path."

Immortal Lord Jue Zhen tightly knit her brows, "Is there really a third path in the way of the Formation?"

"It's a path he researched independently." Chess Formation suddenly shifted the topic, "Senior Sister, you should have heard of the Human Pill."

"Of course, I know the Human Pill." Immortal Lord Jue Zhen nodded slightly, with some surprise, and then seemed as if she instantly realized something, exclaiming, "You're not saying that he... his path is the Human Array! Making himself into the Formation, right?"

"Exactly. He intended to refine himself into a Formation, so that no matter where he is, he could exert maximal power, as he himself would be the Great Formation. He said that even when he's cultivating, it's not cultivation but enhancing the Great Formation's power!"

"His... his idea is truly insane, but I quite like it." Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Jue Zhen showed a look of excitement. Refining oneself into a Formation—why hadn't she thought of this before?

That fellow truly was a genius, surely one of the most talented of their generation.

No wonder when their master was still around, he praised that fellow as one of the top three most gifted individuals since the founding of their Extreme Formation Sect.

Chess Formation glanced at his senior sister's excited expression, sighed gently, and said, "He wasn't wrong. Senior Sister is indeed the one who understands him best. Pity that Senior Sister is a woman."

Immortal Lord Jue Zhen, hearing her junior brother's mention, couldn't help but show a proud expression. After all, everyone knew that fellow was proud and aloof. Being praised by that fellow as the one who understood him best was certainly something to be proud of.
