“However, what!?” Hearing ‘however, from Golden Monkey, Yu Zi Yu’s heart tightened suddenly. An ominous premonition flashed through his mind.

*Haaaaa…* With a sigh, Golden Monkey looked at the sky full of silver flying blades with a helpless expression, before frankly answering, “These two Formations, even in the previous era, were also legend among legends. They were known as the ‘Top Ten Ancient Forbidden Formations.’ Not to mention me, even in the previous era, those who fully understood these two Formations were no more than a handful.”

“Hmm… even in that era, the number of people who comprehended these two Formations did not exceed a handful, huh?” Slowly raising his hand and looking at his five fingers, Yu Zi Yu’s expression stiffened.

An era had billions of billions of living beings. Even the Hegemeons and Eternals were numerous in an era. Yet, the number of individuals who understood these two Formations not numbered more than five, which really came as a shock to Yu Zi Yu.

In a daze, Yu Zi Yu finally understood why these two Formations were called the ‘Top Ten Forbidden Formations.’

Just this point alone was enough to justify the ‘Forbidden’ label.

“Alright.” After a moment of silence, Yu Zi Yu helplessly shook his head and asked, a bit dejectedly, “What are the names of these two Formations? Even if I can’t see them, at least I can hear about them.”

“These two Formations, you should have heard of them.” Golden Monkey stated with a smile.

“You should also have noticed that the legends and myths of this world often contain traces of the previous era, and these two Formations appear briefly in some of these legends…”

“You mean…” Yu Zi Yu’s pupils constricted as he realized something.

[There are many Formations in myths and legends, but only a few are of great renown. And those few…]

Before Yu Zi Yu could think further, Golden Monkey’s face became serious as he continued, “One of them is the most renowned Formation of our Demon Beast Clan — the Great Constellation Formation. It involved 365 Demon Gods acting as the main controllers, and formed using a total of 129,600 Great Demons. Alternatively, it could also be cast using 365 Demon Gods and 14,800 Great Demons, using Star Banners to form the array. Its power is immense, enough to draw the power of stars and annihilate worlds.

If you can find and understand this Formation, you could transform a million flying blades into a sky full of stars. Though it might not have the power to destroy worlds, it would elevate the power of your Dao-Protecting Artifact to the level of an Extreme-Dao Imperial Artifact.”

At this point, Golden Monkey, oblivious to Yu Zi Yu’s stiff expression, continued, “The second astonishing Formation is the foundation of a great sect, called the ‘Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.’ It consists of layers upon layers of Formations, intricately interconnected, arranged by a million disciples of the sect… Even an Eternal would feel unsettled and disoriented if caught within it. If you can find…”

Before Golden Monkey could finish, a cough interrupted him.

*Ahem…* With a soft cough, Yu Zi Yu, struggling to control the twitching of his lips, interjected, “Golden Monkey, stop talking about these two Formations. Even just hearing about them, I know how renown… these…” Stuttering, Yu Zi Yu admitted, “These two Formations are beyond our reach. Not only now but even in the future, even if I became a Hegemon, it is uncertain whether I will be able to access these Formations.”

“Indeed.” With a wry smile, Golden Monkey admitted.

[These two Formations are indeed terrifying. Even with the start of another era, their renown remains unchanged. Well, I was just talking. After all, in the previous era, every practitioner had heard of these Formations, but those who had actually seen them…Well, there could only have been very few.

However, at the end of the era, some people seem to have seen the stars align, and countless figures emerging from the Celestial Realm. Perhaps some mighty beings have used these two Formations to confront the calamity of the era.]

*Haaaaa…* With a sigh, Golden Monkey expressed his helplessness.

[In my previous life, I was just an insignificant little being. I might know a lot, but my actual contact with these Formations was still too limited. Otherwise, I might have been able to tell Master a thing or two.]

But just then, as if thinking of something, Golden Monkey’s eyes suddenly brightened. He turned to Yu Zi Yu and called out in excitement, “Master…”

“What’s wrong?” A bit puzzled, Yu Zi Yu looked at the suddenly excited Golden Monkey and asked.

“Master, I just thought of something. Although we can’t access those two Forbidden Formations, there are indeed many replicas of these forbidden Formations… And I know of one called the Stellar Formation.”

“Stellar Formation?” A bit surprised, Yu Zi Yu was momentarily taken aback.

“Yes, the Stellar Formation.” Nodding, Golden Monkey continued with excitement, “This Formation is a type of Spirit-Gathering Formation that can draw the light of the stars and bring down a tremendous amount of radiant light…”

At this point, Golden Monkey noticed Yu Zi Yu’s slightly darkened expression.

“Uh…” Pausing for a moment, Golden Monkey realized the key point. “Master, listen to me. Although this Stellar Formation is not an Offensive Formation, Mirage Formation, or a Trap Formation, at a crucial moment, its ability to draw down the light of the stars would definitely be extraordinary.”

“Just imagine, with your body in one place and a tremendous amount of rays coming down on you from outer space… Wouldn’t that be completely spectacular?” In his somewhat awkward explanation, Golden Monkey hurriedly tried to appease Yu Zi Yu.

After talking for a while about such a flashy but impractical Formation, he found himself in a spot.

However, after a moment, with a flicker of his eyes, Golden Monkey stepped forward and added, “Also, Master, if you comprehend the Stellar Formation, you can further deepen your understanding of Formations.

If you gain insights into the Dao of Formations, it’s not impossible to comprehend the Great Constellation Formation’ in the future by observing the movements of the stars. Don’t you think?”

Hearing this, Yu Zi Yu’s expression softened slightly.

Flattery can never go wrong.

Although Yu Zi Yu knew that the possibility of comprehending the Great Constellation Formation’ in the future was nearly zero, hearing Golden Monkey’s words lifted his spirits.

Besides, Golden Monkey’s words did make some sense.

With his current zero understanding of Formations, even if those two astonishing Formations were right in front of him, he would only be able to gape in wonder.

Of course, at this moment, Yu Zi Yu would never admit that Golden Monkey’s flattery had an effect.

If it were someone else, it would have been normal, but the one flattering him was Golden Monkey, a figure always deep and unfathomable.

[This shows that my growth has far exceeded his expectations…] With a light smile in his heart, Yu Zi Yu slowly raised his arm.
