Ye Xueqi flew with Zhou Qiongtian on their sword. Chu Tiange had originally loved the Sword Dao, but his master had instructed him to abandon it and focus on the Formation Dao, with the Soul Dao as a secondary focus, as the Divine Path Sect's formations were primarily Soul Dao formations.

If Chu Tiange were to witness this scene, he would likely be greatly stimulated. He loved the Sword Dao but was forced to abandon it, while his childhood sweetheart practiced the Sword Dao and frequently demonstrated her sword techniques before him.

However, the current Chu Tiange was Zhou Qiongtian, and seeing this, Zhou Qiongtian's heart was as still as an ancient well.

Soon, Ye Xueqi brought Zhou Qiongtian to the inheritance secret realm of that senior. This senior was a formation expert at the Saint Realm, with a mastery of the Formation Dao reaching the Grandmaster level.

Regarding mastery of the Great Dao, it was divided into Ordinary, Master, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, and Supreme Grandmaster.

Generally, cultivators at the Saint Realm could reach the Grandmaster level in their primary Great Dao. Chu Tiange was currently only at the Cycle Early Stage. He had originally cultivated the Sword Dao but switched to the Formation Dao midway.

However, Chu Tiange's talent in the Formation Dao was truly exceptional. Even though he hadn't cultivated it for long, his mastery of the Formation Dao had already reached the Quasi-Grandmaster level, not far from the Grandmaster realm.

It's worth noting that Zhou Qiongtian, who cultivated the Strength Dao and Lightning Dao, had only reached the Master level in the Strength Dao and Quasi-Grandmaster in the Lightning Dao.

He only reached the Quasi-Grandmaster level in the Lightning Dao due to fortuitous encounters like the Law of Lightning and Lightning Tribulation Liquid within his body. Zhou Qiongtian's cultivation had advanced too quickly, and his mastery of related Great Daos hadn't kept pace.

Normally, for a cultivator to reach the Quasi-Grandmaster level in their cultivated Great Dao, it would take hundreds of years of refinement. Zhou Qiongtian had only been cultivating for a few months since advancing from the Innate Realm to the current Feather Ascension Realm.

This speed of Great Dao mastery advancement was already quite fast, but it was still lagging behind his cultivation, which troubled Zhou Qiongtian greatly.

Within this illusion, Zhou Qiongtian obtained Chu Tiange's memories, and even his mastery of the Formation Dao reached the Quasi-Grandmaster level. Previously, Zhou Qiongtian's mastery of the Formation Dao was only at the Ordinary level.

This could be considered a fortunate encounter from Chu Tiange's inheritance. Just obtaining the Quasi-Grandmaster level in the Formation Dao made this trip worthwhile. However, if Zhou Qiongtian could achieve this, Lin Tian likely also reached the Quasi-Grandmaster level in the Formation Dao.

But Zhou Qiongtian was mistaken. Lin Tian was a reborn individual who became a Great Emperor after cultivating for five hundred years. Although the Formation Dao was not Lin Tian's primary focus, nor a secondary one, his mastery of the Formation Dao had reached the Quasi-Grandmaster level.

This was also one of the reasons Lin Tian was confident he could obtain Chu Tiange's inheritance.

Zhou Qiongtian followed Ye Xueqi through various dangers, with Ye Xueqi handling all the threats. The destructive power of the Sword Dao was immense, and Zhou Qiongtian didn't even need to act; Ye Xueqi resolved the dangers.

Soon, the two found the inheritance. This inheritance was for the Formation Dao. Ye Xueqi did not cultivate the Formation Dao, so this inheritance fell to Zhou Qiongtian.

Upon receiving the inheritance from this senior Formation Dao expert, Zhou Qiongtian's mastery of the Formation Dao, which was already at the Quasi-Grandmaster level and only one step away from Grandmaster, immediately broke through to the Grandmaster realm.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for seizing the opportunity of the Child of Destiny, Lin Tian. Destiny Points +!]

Zhou Qiongtian was slightly stunned but quickly understood. Great Dao mastery that could improve cultivation usually involved direct transmission of skills. When Chu Tiange received the inheritance from this formation expert, his mastery of the Formation Dao did not improve significantly and required slow comprehension.

However, Zhou Qiongtian's mastery of the Formation Dao had improved. This was the direct transmission of Great Dao mastery from Chu Tiange's inheritance. This opportunity was originally meant for Lin Tian, but now Zhou Qiongtian had obtained it.

Zhou Qiongtian immediately realized that this illusionary formation held immense benefits. Not only could he gain Destiny Points, but he could also improve his mastery of the Formation Dao. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Just as Ye Xueqi and Zhou Qiongtian left this inheritance secret realm, two figures emerged from the void. They were Chu Tiange's master and Ye Xueqi's father.

"Senior Brother Sect Master, you have truly gone to great lengths for this child Tian Ge!"

That's right, the treasure map for this inheritance secret realm was given by the Divine Path Sect Master to Ye Xueqi's father, asking him to find a way for Ye Xueqi to stumble upon it by chance.

The Divine Path Sect Master chuckled, "What can I do? This child Tian Ge still dislikes the Formation Dao. However, he possesses the highest Formation Dao talent in the Divine Path Sect in ten thousand years. By passing down the Divine Path Sect's legacy to Tian Ge, he will surely bring glory to the Divine Path Sect."

Upon returning to the Divine Path Sect, Zhou Qiongtian began to consolidate his realm. The previously obscure formations were now all within his grasp, and areas that were once unclear were now illuminated.

Several days later, a powerful Formation Dao figure from the Divine Path Sect gave a lecture, and many Formation Dao cultivators attended. The Divine Path Sect primarily cultivated the Formation Dao, and there were many disciples who practiced it, so a lecture by a Formation Dao expert was held periodically.

Zhou Qiongtian also attended the lecture. At this stage, Chu Tiange would not have attended; although he had high talent in the Formation Dao, he disliked it.

The Divine Path Sect Master observed this and believed his previous arrangements were working, a smile appearing on his face.

After listening to the lecture, Zhou Qiongtian had several epiphanies, and his mastery of the Formation Dao improved significantly. However, he was still far from the Quasi-Grandmaster realm in the Formation Dao and couldn't reach it in a short time.

Zhou Qiongtian pondered for a moment and then proactively approached the Divine Path Sect Master to discuss his confusion regarding the Formation Dao. The Divine Path Sect Master was overjoyed that his disciple was actively seeking his knowledge of the Formation Dao.

He felt this was a significant step for his disciple and was extremely pleased. He generously imparted his knowledge, and Zhou Qiongtian's mastery of the Formation Dao continued to improve.

Meanwhile, Lin Tian, relying on his existing Quasi-Grandmaster level in the Formation Dao, began to stand out, astonishing everyone.

The Divine Path Sect Master was greatly surprised. Wasn't his disciple's mastery of the Formation Dao only at the Quasi-Grandmaster level? How did he reach Quasi-Grandmaster so quickly?

Quasi-Grandmaster and Quasi-Grandmaster were entirely different realms. The Divine Path Sect had many disciples and elders who could reach the Quasi-Grandmaster level, but those who could reach the Quasi-Grandmaster level in the Formation Dao numbered no more than ten within the entire sect.

Being able to elevate the mastery of one's cultivated Great Dao to Quasi-Grandmaster was achieved by a very small number of individuals, and these individuals were basically Saint King level or above cultivators who had spent countless years of refinement to reach this level.

Given Lin Tian's cultivation level and how long he had been cultivating, such mastery of the Formation Dao was simply inconceivable. The Divine Path Sect Master knew that Chu Tiange's talent in the Formation Dao was monstrous, but he never expected it to be this monstrous.

Could it be that Chu Tiange had actually been cultivating the Formation Dao diligently in secret?

However, this was ultimately good news. Mastery of the Great Dao could not be faked. The Divine Path Sect Master rejoiced in his heart, "My Divine Path Sect has a successor!"

The Divine Path Sect Master began to impart the true teachings of the Divine Path Sect's Formation Dao to Lin Tian. Lin Tian listened intently. Even though he had been a Great Emperor in his previous life, his mastery of the Formation Dao was still somewhat inferior compared to the Divine Path Sect Master.

The Divine Path Sect Master's mastery of the Formation Dao was at the Great Grandmaster level!
