The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

"What Method of Breaking the Formation? Please, enlighten me."

Ling Yunzi immediately inquired with respectful earnestness in his voice.

Xu Hao smiled and said, "I see the gleam in your eye, I'm afraid you might already have an answer in mind, right?"

Ling Yunzi exclaimed, "Could it be... could it be you're referring to using the Heavenly Sterns to break the Earthly Demons?"

"What?!" Meng Jiu's heart also trembled greatly, almost causing her to sit up.

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Correct! The one hundred and eight Zhou Tian Great Formations are divided into the Thirty six Heavenly Sterns Great Formation and the Seventy two Earthly Evil Formations, two parts that can be separate or combined, opposing or merging. One can use Heavenly Sterns to break Earthly Demons, and similarly, Earthly Demons to break Heavenly Sterns."

"This..."

Ling Yunzi's mind was beset by turbulent waves. He indeed knew of such a method to break the formation; however, he had only seen it mentioned in old books within the Taoist Scripture Pavilion, where it was only briefly described without detailed explanation.

The books stated that Heavenly Sterns and Earthly Demons, like the Yin and Yang Extremes, intertwine yet repel each other. Using Heavenly Sterns to break Earthly Demons, and Earthly Demons to break Heavenly Sterns, in theory, could work. However, these two Great Arrays are extremely profound, and without a true understanding, rash action would lead to severe backlash. The power it could unleash could kill the person trying to break the formation in an instant!

Ling Yunzi was aware of this method to break formations, but he dared not even contemplate it, let alone attempt it.

Meng Jiu, with much concern, said, "Xu Xiao You, we appreciate your intention, but this matter is far too dangerous! If you were merely breaking the formation simply, even if there were backlash, your life would not be in danger. That's why we didn't strongly stop you earlier, but this time, using Heavenly Sterns to Break Earthly Demons is extremely perilous. Absolutely not, under any circumstances!"

Xu Hao, seeing their concerns, knew they were thinking of his safety, but he was already a Grandmaster Level Expert, and the Qi Force inside him far surpassed that of an Early Stage Grandmaster level. Even with backlash, he had nothing to fear.

If one always hesitates and fears to try, how can one ever progress?

Xu Hao smiled and said, "My mind is made up, no one can persuade me otherwise. Please give me some space. Once I break this formation, I will return to you a clear and sunny sky!"

Ling Yunzi shook his head, no longer trying to dissuade him.

He understood Xu Hao's reasoning. Xu Hao must be very knowledgeable about these formations; that was an absolute given. But to make significant progress in a short time, unconventional means were necessary.

And this Great Array was just the right whetstone.

However, danger always coexists with opportunity.

Only those with truly strong spirits could make such decisions.

Meng Jiu looked deeply at Xu Hao, then stopped speaking and had Xiao Lan wheel her to a corner of the courtyard. The children also gathered around, but all eyes were on this spot.

Xu Hao stood at the very center of the courtyard, the heart of the entire Formation where the Evil energy was most intense.

He looked up at the sky, his hands slowly rising as he spoke with gravity, "Using Heavenly Sterns to break Earthly Demons doesn't mean setting up another Heavenly Sterns Formation, but evolving the numbers of the Heavenly Sterns to decipher the numbers of the Earthly Demons one by one."

Xiao Lan suddenly asked, "Something's not right, Superman Big Brother, don't trick me because I'm not well-read. My math wasn't taught by the PE teacher. There are only thirty-six numbers for Heavenly Sterns, but seventy-two for Earthly Demons – that's obviously half as many. How can they be deciphered one by one?"

Xu Hao, still looking towards the horizon, moved his hands extremely slowly like manipulating something, while saying, "Thirty-six and seventy-two are the real numbers, but they are also imaginary. The art of Formation's most fascinating aspect is its unpredictability.

Laotzu said, 'The Dao produces the One, the One produces the Two, the Two produce the Three, and the Three produce all things.' In the numbers of the Taoists, if you think they are as simple as they appear, then you are mistaken. Breaking a formation is more difficult than setting one up because a formation can change in the blink of an eye. But as this Formation is uncontrolled, it can only change according to certain rules, undoubtedly making it much easier to break."

"Oh," Xiao Lan nodded, seemingly understanding but also not, while Meng Jiu's gaze flickered, presumably deep in thought.

Meng Jiu smiled and said, "Even if it's reduced by a third, it's not something we can break. Xu Xiao You, if you see anything amiss, please stop immediately. You're still young; it's absolutely untenable to risk your very life here!"

Xu Hao stopped explaining at this point and quickly accelerated the movements of his hands. Streaks of Qi Energy, like arrows, shot towards the sky!

"Qi Energy Projection... this!"

Seeing this scene, Ling Yunzi instantly stood up again, his face filled with shock, and his junior brother was already dumbfounded.

Meng Jiu also began to tremble with shock!

No one expected Xu Hao to be so powerful!

Tears slowly trickled from the corners of Meng Jiu's eyes. Xu Hao was indeed a Grandmaster Level Expert, exceedingly proficient in the ways of formations, which meant there was a chance to break the formation today. After so many years, she finally had hope of freedom!

Xiao Lan, although not understanding the significance of a Grandmaster Level Expert, could tell from their expressions that this Superman Big Brother named Xu Hao seemed very strong, stronger than they had anticipated.
