My Master Knows It All

166: Chapter 122 Array Plate_7 166: Chapter 122 Array Plate_7 However, her expression gradually changed as Cao Zhen kept picking up various materials, showing no sign of stopping whatsoever.

She couldn’t help but speak up, “Peak Master Cao, just how many formation maps are you planning to refine?”

“Six,” Cao Zhen replied, looking up with a flash of his white teeth, “Old lady, don’t worry.

If you feel that one more formation map is not enough, I can make another one later.”

“It’s not about making a few more formation maps.

It’s these materials you’re using.

What kind of formation map are you refining that requires so many materials?” Ai Yunqi said, watching Cao Zhen still constantly picking up materials, feeling that the Immortal Soldier Workshop was not far from closing down.

Is this really for refining formation maps?

This is more material than what is used for refining divine weapons.

Even for an extraordinary formation map, it shouldn’t require this many materials, right?

On a piece of Ebony Crystal Stone, Cao Zhen engraved the last pattern and then inserted it into the formation map before looking up and saying, “Supreme Unparalleled Formation.”

“What kind of formation is that?” Ai Yunqi frowned, stepping closer to Cao Zhen as she took a step forward.

Suddenly, she felt as if she had stepped into another world.

She was clearly very close to Cao Zhen, but now, she felt as if she was a hundred steps away from him.

Had she entered the formation map?

Surprise spread across Ai Yunqi’s face.

Cao Zhen’s formation map was far from being complete; how had she entered the formation just by getting close to him?

The atmosphere around her felt so abnormal.

And, the ground beneath her feet hadn’t moved, but for some reason, she could feel that the ground was moving, and so was her body.

What in the world was going on?

With a slight furrow of her brows, she took another step forward, only for her frown to deepen.

Just now, according to the positions within the formation, she should have been in the Xun position.

After stepping forward, she should have entered the Kan position, but she found herself still in Xun.

How could this be?

Refusing to believe this, she took another step, only to be surprised to find she was still in the Xun position.

“I haven’t moved?

No, that’s not right; I’ve clearly moved, but the position within the Bagua has not changed,” Ai Yunqi muttered, puzzled, quickly moving several steps forward.

This time, she was no longer in the Xun position, and Cao Zhen was no longer a hundred steps away but standing beside her.

Not far away, there was the All-encompassing Furnace.

Ai Yunqi’s brows were almost twisted together.

She hadn’t broken through the formation, but had instead walked out of the formation map herself.

Obviously, the reason she was able to walk out was that the formation map was not yet perfected.

Full of astonishment, she looked at Cao Zhen and asked again, “What kind of formation map is this?

How could it be like this?”

“Old lady, as you’ve seen, my formation map is unlike the ordinary ones; it’s like a round disk.

I prefer to call it an Array Plate.

For now, it’s just an Array Plate, but in the end, it has the potential to become a divine weapon,” Cao Zhen responded.

He knew that Ai Yunqi wasn’t asking about the name of the formation, but rather why the formation was so peculiar.

After a brief explanation, he paused slightly before continuing, “The greatest feature of my Supreme Unparalleled Formation is that as long as the Array Plate is deployed, no matter where I am, I will always be at the Formation Eye.

And for the opponent, no matter what spell they cast, I can change heaven and earth.

To put it simply, for example, if the opponent excels at the fire system, then as long as I stand on the Array Plate, regardless of where they stand, where they appear, the position they’re in will always be the water position.”

Water conquers fire.

“He is naturally restrained by me, and if the adversary were to be wood, then I would be metal!”

In any case, as long as I am on this array plate, he will forever be at a disadvantage.

Of course, if one’s mana were to reach the heavens, it might be possible to forcibly break this array plate.

However, under the same cultivation realm, this array plate is…

it’s an insurmountable existence,” he almost said it was a ‘bug-like existence’, but upon reflection, understanding that Ai Yunqi wouldn’t comprehend, he changed it to ‘unsolvable’.

Ai Yunqi exclaimed in shock, “This is akin to the Immortal Path Domain, which is rumored to exist after entering the Earth Immortal realm!” She had just stepped onto the array plate and no matter how she moved, she remained on the Xun position, indeed just as Cao Zhen had said.

Cao Zhen shook his head slightly and said, “Indeed, it’s similar to the Immortal Path Domain, but not the same.

The Immortal Path Domain is not so simple and is far stronger than my array plate.

This array plate can at best be considered a foundation.”

“But that’s also incredibly powerful,” Ai Yunqi recalled her experience after entering the array plate and sighed, “At the same cultivation realm, you can make your opponent perpetually vulnerable, which could even be said to put you in an invincible position.

This formation is considered unbeatable within the same cultivation realm.

However, such a powerful formation, why have I never heard of it before?

“How do you refine such a formation?

I saw you use Ebony Crystal Stones and Maple Wind Cliff Wood…”

Cao Zhen’s complexion changed immediately.

He realized he might have boasted too much.

Plus, there was the alchemy he had done before.

If he started selling talismans after a while, it would indeed be easy to raise suspicions about his identity.

He shouldn’t let others suspect that he was possessed by demonic beasts.

Right, hadn’t Yan Yourong misunderstood him as a Great Ability reincarnated before?

A thought struck him, and he intentionally put on a serious face, sternly saying, “Ai Yunqi, having lived for so many years, have you forgotten the rules of the cultivation world?”

Ai Yunqi was stunned.

Cao Zhen, in both instances he had seen her, had addressed her either as grandma or as elder, for although he was a Peak Master, in terms of age and generation, she was his senior.

Why was he suddenly addressing her by name?

Only peers or those of a higher standing would directly use one’s name.

Someone of higher standing than oneself…

Ai Yunqi trembled all over, suddenly thinking of many things.

The sect leader had said that Cao Zhen had used up all the resources of the Five-Element Pill Grounds to refine an extremely terrifying pill.

Although she had not seen the pill and did not know what was terrifying about it, she had witnessed an Alchemy Tribulation above the Five-Element Pill Grounds.

Such an event had never occurred in the history of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

If Cao Zhen could refine a pill that would draw forth an Alchemy Tribulation, he had to be at least a Grandmaster of the Alchemy Dao!

Now, showing such terrifying strength in the domain of formations is one thing.

And what about the four disciples of Four Treasures Peak?

They were all Ancient Immortal Bodies turned into Waste Bodies, so why had they all suddenly broken through to Core Formation?

Moreover, why did each of their Tao Bases, Immortal Bridges, and inner cores display anomalies?

Why did these four disciples manage to obtain Divine Weapons left by previous True Persons and Sect Leaders upon entering the Divine Soldier Tomb?

Why could Cao Zhen awaken so many Divine Weapons at once?

All of this only had one explanation!

Ai Yunqi suddenly came to a realization, looking at Cao Zhen with a face full of surprise.

Cao Zhen, feeling Ai Yunqi’s gaze, slowly spoke, “Now, I am the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak, a disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

In the future, I will also be the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak, a disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

This fact will not change.”

Ai Yunqi let out a sigh of relief.

Her conjecture was not wrong; Cao Zhen in front of her was indeed a reincarnation of a Great Ability.

Otherwise, he had no need to put it that way.

In saying so, he was declaring his stance: he was now with the Hundred Peaks Sect and bore no ill will towards it.

Cao Zhen looked at Ai Yunqi’s ever-changing expression and thought to himself, “I’m just stating the truth.

I am the Peak Master of Four Treasures Peak, a disciple of the Hundred Peaks Sect.

How you interpret that is your own problem and has nothing to do with me.”
