Primordial Emperor

"I didn't expect this old thing to be so stingy. Isn't it just a spiritual formation restriction? I can restore it for you."

Seeing Wang Tong motionless after he broke the restriction, Lin Chen secretly thought this old guy was really stingy.

Then Lin Chen extended his hand, preparing to restore Wang Tong's forbidden formation with his power.

However, just as Lin Chen was about to make a move, he saw Wang Tong looking at him with a face full of shock.

A hundred years ago, Yunlong Heavenly Palace paid with much fresh blood to obtain the structure of the Cold Nether Evil Yin spiritual formation.

And Wang Tong, who has been researching it for a hundred years, although he knew some mysteries of this wondrous formation, he could never crack it.

Yet the spiritual formation he painstakingly researched for a hundred years was now easily deciphered by Lin Chen in just over ten breaths.

One must know that this Spirit Array Atlas before him was just an imprint of the Cold Nether Evil Yin, far less powerful than the real spiritual formation restriction. It could not be easily cracked by any ordinary formation master with just a few glances.

Even Wang Tong's first apprentice, Zhuang Xiaoqin, spent decades studying it but couldn't break this Spirit Array Atlas.

From Lin Chen entering the hall to breaking the restriction took no more than ten breaths.

It goes to show the level of Lin Chen's spiritual formation mastery, at least far surpassing him, who is the first formation master of Yunlong Heavenly Palace.

At this moment, Wang Tong was also sure that the spiritual formation master who perfected the spirit array at Flame Mountain Range was not Lin Chen's master but Lin Chen himself.

However, despite being somewhat certain, Wang Tong still wanted to confirm once more.

"Lin Chen, my young friend, was it you who perfected the Gathering Fire Spirit Flame Array that old Duan set at the Flame Valley?"

Wang Tong looked at Lin Chen and asked very politely.

Hearing Wang Tong's words, Lin Chen immediately frowned slightly.

The person who set that Gathering Fire Spirit Flame Array in Flame Valley truly did not have much formation mastery.

Could it be that the person who set it was none other than the first array master of Yunlong Heavenly Palace and Cloud Dragon Kingdom standing before him?

If that were true, then Wang Tong's reputation as the first array master would indeed be too unconvincing.

"That Gathering Fire Spirit Flame Array was indeed modified by me, but to make it easier for Master Duan to control the fire in the future, I also gave him some pointers and let him make a change."

Lin Chen said blandly, then slightly narrowed his eyes.

He wanted to see if that Gathering Fire Spirit Flame Array was indeed set by this old thing Wang Tong.

"That Gathering Fire Spirit Flame Array was arranged by Master Wang?"

Lin Chen looked at Wang Tong and asked.

"Indeed, it was arranged by me. Shamefully, the Earth Spirit Fire in Flame Valley is too overbearing."

"I have tried everything over the decades to perfect the Gathering Fire Spirit Flame Array but have never managed to root out the problem entirely. Yet Lin Chen, my young friend, solved it at once, and I am impressed with you."

Wang Tong said smilingly, then cupped his hands to Lin Chen, expressing his respect.

With Wang Tong's words, Lin Chen slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Tong with some contempt.

After all, this old guy indeed set up that Gathering Fire Spirit Flame Array, rendering Lin Chen speechless.

That array was really too poor; is this really the level of the first array master of Cloud Dragon Kingdom?

Actually, Lin Chen did not know that with the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron's spirit array origin, his spiritual formation mastery could be considered the strongest in the entire Mysterious Heaven Continent.

Wang Tong, although a formation expert of Central State, was far inferior to Lin Chen in spiritual formation mastery.

Wang Tong noticed Lin Chen's contemptuous look and felt embarrassed and somewhat melancholic inside.

To think that he, the number one spiritual formation master in the Cloud Dragon Kingdom, would be looked down upon like this.

But the key is, he couldn't refute the other's disdain, for Lin Chen's spiritual formation mastery was far superior to his, indeed qualifying Lin Chen to look down on him.

"Lin Chen, my young friend, could you teach me the method to crack the Cold Nether Evil Yin just now?"

Wang Tong, recovering from his shock, came to Lin Chen with a flattering face and asked.

Hearing this, Lin Chen's face turned ugly, showing a troubled expression.

"Master Wang, it is not that I am unwilling to teach you this method, but my sect's rules are strict. This method is a secret technique, and sharing it with you would indeed be inconvenient."

Lin Chen looked at Wang Tong and said earnestly.

Kidding, the method to crack the Cold Nether Evil Yin was not something profound to Lin Chen but merely a spiritual formation technique performed by adapting to the spirit array origin. Teaching it would be no harm, but it could not be freely given to Wang Tong.

After all, Master Duan Yuanfeng offered a Mid-Divine Rank martial art, the Divine Dragon Fist, in exchange when he wanted his Seven Stars Atlas, and even helped him refine the Sky Feather Piercing Cloud Bow.

Yet this old man Wang Tong, opening his mouth, thought he could get something for nothing. He was too naïve.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Wang Tong's eyes lit up as if understanding something, and he kneeled without hesitation, looking at Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, my young friend... No, Master, please accept a bow from your apprentice."

Wang Tong put his words into action, like Duan Yuanfeng, a straightforward person. Such a great opportunity, to be able to acknowledge Lin Chen as his master, was not shameful for him, as Lin Chen's formation mastery far surpassed his own countless times.

Wang Tong knelt to acknowledge Lin Chen as his master, leaving Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin shocked and speechless.

Was this still their master in front of them, actually wanting to acknowledge Lin Chen as master?

They needed to realize that their master, Master Wang Tong, was the number one spiritual formation master in Yunlong Heavenly Palace and even in the Cloud Dragon Kingdom.

Never mind Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin, even Lin Chen himself was dumbfounded, looking at Wang Tong kneeling in front of him, unable to recover his senses for a while.

Wang Tong was the Hall Master of Yunlong Heavenly Palace's Spirit Formation Hall and the number one spiritual formation master in Cloud Dragon Kingdom.

But now, he was kneeling, asking to become his apprentice, leaving Lin Chen utterly bewildered.

"Master Wang, what are you doing? Please get up quickly. The younger generation cannot bear such a great ceremony."

Lin Chen looked at Wang Tong and hurriedly said, going forward wanting to help him up.
