Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Qin Yu focused intently, comprehending the array patterns of this ancient formation. His spiritual power had reached a subtle level, allowing for deeper perception. In just a short moment, he had comprehended the patterns on this foundation stone.

The next moment, he raised his arm. As his spiritual power silently spread, he sketched out lines of patterns in the air before him.

”So quick to comprehend?!”

Witnessing this, Bai Yaoyin was completely stunned, a look of disbelief flashing in her beautiful eyes.

To repair an ancient formation, one must first comprehend the residual array patterns. Only after fully understanding them could one attempt repairs.

However, just comprehending the residual patterns was enough to make most cultivators retreat in fear.

Even for an Array Master, comprehending a single pattern was no simple task.

Over the years, many Array Masters had attempted it. Among them, the fastest at comprehending the patterns was the esteemed Guest Minister of Great Yan... Yang Zhonglang.

Yet, even he took over an hour to comprehend the first pattern.

And Qin Yu?

This seemed to be less than a quarter of an hour, right?

Bai Yaoyin hadn’t held much hope, given the formidable difficulty of comprehending a residual array, but at this moment, the look in her beautiful eyes became brighter.

Perhaps, could Qin Yu really accomplish this?

”The array patterns here are incomplete...”

After outlining the comprehended patterns, Qin Yu frowned. With a wave of his hand, the lines formed by his spiritual power dissipated. He opened his Celestial Eye once more, looking at the entire incomplete ancient formation.

The network of patterns appeared clearly before his eyes...

That seemed to be the missing part.

Yet, strangely, Qin Yu didn’t enter any state of enlightenment but naturally felt that it should be like this.

This feeling was very peculiar.

It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Qin Yu didn’t overthink it. He gently moved his hand, using his spiritual power to sketch out those networks.

”Huh?!”

This time, Bai Yaoyin noticed the anomaly. Qin Yu’s movements were not only more deft, but he also added a few strokes to the previous patterns.

In about half a quarter of an hour, a complete array pattern was sketched out by Qin Yu.

”Buzz!...”

Immediately, this pattern seemed to be attracted by some unknown force and sank into the foundation stone below.

On the foundation stone, stone flakes flew, and the originally peeled-off patterns were gradually carved out as if by an invisible chisel.

”He perfected this array pattern?!”

Bai Yaoyin’s small mouth was slightly open. In less than half an hour, Qin Yu had not only comprehended the first pattern but had also completely repaired its damaged parts.

This is simply unbelievable!

You should know, Yang Zhonglang had once tried to comprehend the patterns, spending nearly ten years, and only narrowly repaired two patterns.

Compared to that...

At this moment, Bai Yaoyin finally seemed to understand why Yang Zhonglang, despite being called an Array Master, only held the title of Guest Minister of the Great Yan Royal Family, while Qin Yu could become a Tributor!

Bai Yaoyin wished she could use the Transmission Stone to let her father witness this scene with his own eyes, then record it to severely challenge the clan elders.

Those elders who were indifferent to the world even dared to question the abilities of the Great Yan Royal Court Tributor?!

Had they lost their senses with age, or did they want to undermine her father’s prestige?!

Such intentions are truly reprehensible!

Qin Yu didn’t hold back; after repairing one pattern, his spiritual power was not significantly depleted.

He proceeded to the second foundation stone.

Compared to the patterns on the first foundation stone, those on the second were clearer. Although there were also small damaged parts, under the Celestial Eye, the networks were soon completed.

Then, to the third, the fourth...

Until the sky gradually brightened, dawn breaking.

Qin Yu comprehended and perfected all the patterns on the first ancient formation.

With the final stroke, a profound array pattern took shape and then directly merged into the foundation stone.

”Buzz——!”

At this moment, the surrounding foundation stones of the ancient formation seemed to awaken, radiating incredibly dazzling light, like stars descending to the mortal realm. The top-grade Spirit Stones placed around were devoured in the blink of an eye by this massive energy demand, turning into nothingness.

Bai Yaoyin’s expression instantly became serious. She unhesitatingly waved her jade hand, and nearly a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, filled with abundant spiritual power, flew out from her Storage Ring, orderly placed at the edge of the ancient formation.

As the pure spiritual power from these top-grade Spirit Stones flowed like a stream into the ancient formation, the previously tottering, nearly collapsing formation stabilized once more.

When the complex patterns on all the foundation stones interconnected, weaving into a mysterious image, an ancient and profound Array Power suddenly spread out, filling the space between heaven and earth.

”Boom!”

At that moment, at the top of the Carefree Pavilion, a brilliant white light suddenly soared into the sky, piercing the tranquility of the heavens, reaching straight up to the ninth heaven.

At that instant, the sky, previously dim, seemed to have a blazing sun rising, illuminating the entire Imperial Capital.

”Is that... in the direction of the Carefree Pavilion?”

”Hiss, is some Exotic Treasure appearing? No wonder the Carefree Pavilion has such profound roots!”

”Ignorant, that’s someone repairing and perfecting the incomplete ancient formation within the Carefree Pavilion!”

”That’s impossible, in the past hundred years, only the Emperor of the Great Qin has perfected an ancient formation!”

This phenomenon quickly captured the attention of countless people in the Imperial Capital, their gazes full of astonishment towards the direction of the Carefree Pavilion.

”Woah... Wait, did the day just break?”

Outside the Imperial Study, Ling Tianfeng stood on one leg in an awkward posture, witnessing the anomaly and couldn’t help but exclaim.

As soon as his words fell, divine light flashed, and a majestic figure wearing a Dragon Robe suddenly appeared before the Imperial Study, an aura of authority impossible to violate.

”Your Majesty!”

Ling Tianfeng’s pupils shrank sharply, the apprehension in his eyes almost overflowing.

”Carefree Pavilion?”

The Empress murmured quietly, a hint of curiosity flashing in her heart.

The Ancient Array left by the Carefree Pavilion had been attempted to be mended by almost all the Array Masters, but over time, the remaining fragments of the array became incredibly difficult to repair.

Even just barely repairing one or two array patterns was enough to make that person famous in the Array Realm, becoming the focus of everyone’s attention.

As for repairing a complete Ancient Array...

Apart from the Emperor of the Great Qin, no one could do it!

”Qin Yu?”

A hint of astonishment flashed across the Empress’s dignified face.

”Your Majesty, I didn’t betray Brother Qin, I didn’t say he’d been to the Carefree Pavilion!”

Lingtian Peak shivered fiercely, hastily defending himself.

This was already the fourth time the Empress had smashed his residence!

”Bang!”

Just as the words were spoken, Lingtian Peak was slammed to the ground by a tremendous Dao Rhyme.

”Hmph!”

With Lingtian Peak looking bewildered, the Empress snorted coldly.

It seemed her tactic of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was quite effective!

Qin Yu used to be fascinated by such places, and how long had it been since she disciplined Lingtian Peak for a few days?

Qin Yu finally started doing proper matters.

Not bad!

However, the fact that Qin Yu could complete the remnants of the Ancient Array in the Carefree Pavilion still surprised the Empress.

Even though the Empress knew Qin Yu’s comprehension and proficiency in Spiritual Power, he might catch up to that existence in the future, that would be a matter far into the future.

Could it be that his insight into the path of arrays far surpassed other so-called Array Masters?

It seemed so.

If not, how could he have fully comprehended the Star Prison Array?!

Thinking of this, the Empress seemed to understand a bit more.

Some people indeed possess extraordinary comprehension in certain fields.

Qin Yu was such a person.

However, this fellow seemed to have been engaging in... Alchemy before?!

Really inexplicable.

Wasn’t that a complete waste of his own talent?

”Your Majesty, may I leave now?”

Seeing the Empress about to return to the Imperial Study, Lingtian Peak, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly pulled his head out of the shattered bluestone, weakly asking.

”You stand for another month.”

The Empress’s calm words struck Lingtian Peak’s heart like a bolt of lightning.

Wasn’t it supposed to be ten days?

Why an extra half month?

Lingtian Peak feared nothing except had great reverence for the Empress.

There’s no choice; Her Majesty really hits hard!

The Empress didn’t care what Lingtian Peak thought, she only regretted disciplining Lingtian Peak too late.

If she had known Qin Yu listened to advice like this, she should have given Lingtian Peak a good beating the first time she found him going to the Carefree Pavilion.

However, it didn’t seem too late now.

In the future, when wanting to spur Qin Yu, she could beat Lingtian Peak anytime.

Lingtian Peak just got up but couldn’t help but shiver.

Was it... getting cold?

No way, I’ve reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, what extreme weather could affect me?

Truly strange.

...

Countless people eagerly looked toward the direction of the Carefree Pavilion, while major forces in the Imperial Capital silently prepared grand gifts and sent people near the Carefree Pavilion.

For others, they were merely amazed that someone could repair and perfect an ancient array.

But for these major forces, they saw a figure worth the investment of massive resources to win over.

Not to mention the person who repaired the complete ancient array would be treated with the highest ceremony by the colossal entity Carefree Pavilion, just the accomplishment in the path of arrays was enough to make them pay attention.

However, what puzzled them was that the supreme figure in the palace seemed to take no action, unless the Flame Guards concealed this too well, and they couldn’t detect it.

The anomaly in the sky slowly dissipated after a while.

By early morning, the vicinity of the Carefree Pavilion was already packed with people, all eagerly awaiting to know which Array Master achieved such a feat.

Yet, Qin Yu was completely unaware.

Repairing a complete ancient array, even though his Spiritual Power consumption was less than half, he still felt somewhat exhausted.

”Qin Yu...”

Bai Yaoyin was in shock for a long time, only coming back to her senses when the Communication Stone in her arms rang.

She didn’t even glance at the motion from the Communication Stone, her beautiful eyes flashing with light, staring closely at the man before her.

Bai Yaoyin never imagined that Qin Yu could completely repair an ancient array in just one night.

Simply incredible!
