Array Diagram Evolution
Zhang Yang went to the Azure Cloud Peak, met Azure Cloud Master, and asked with concern, "Master, are you confident?"
Although his master was confident that he could fight the Abbot, Zhang Yang had to admit that a Mid Tribulation Realm who had been famous for many years and was also a sword cultivator was no ordinary fighter.
Azure Cloud Master smiled and said, "He is in the Mid Tribulation Realm, and I am also in the Mid Tribulation Realm now, so naturally I am not weaker than him."
Of course, the combat strength of sword cultivators is indeed very average.
However, I have been Simulated Demon Lord and fighting against the Demon Lord for more than 500 years.
I've essentially fought my way up against the Demon Lord; I've been battling for over five hundred years!
In this Immortal Cultivation Realm, who has fought as long as I have?
In recent years, there has been no continuous large-scale war in the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Even someone like Zhou Xuansheng only made a few moves.
However, Azure Cloud Master has been forced to fight against the Demon Lord for hundreds of years.
At the same time, he was constantly fighting against Demon Lord in order to develop the Demon-Suppressing Great Dao.
Upon careful calculation, it is indeed several hundred years of combat experience.
There was another reason he didn't mention: he had recently felt that his ten clones in his Dao Domain were becoming increasingly strange, their strength increasing every day to the point that he was starting to worry.
Under these circumstances, he was confident that he could fight the abbot.
Zhang Yang looked at Azure Cloud Master excitedly and said with a smile, "The stronger you are, Master, the more stable our Azure Cloud Sect will be."
"By the way, Master, last time I saw you and Guanyin fight, you used seawater to create an array... I've figured out some things from the inheritance of the Creation Spirit Hall that might be useful to you."
No matter what, he had to help his master win this decisive battle.
He compiled everything he knew about things that could help his master, hoping it would inspire his master's cultivation.
Azure Cloud Master looked at Zhang Yang strangely. Was this kid perhaps trying to give him some pointers?
He was speechless.
It seems he's the master, right?
However, considering that this kid only used a small booklet to help the Sage Master reach the Late Tribulation Transcendence Realm...
"What have you figured out?" Azure Cloud Master asked.
Zhang Yang pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and drew a Taiji Diagram in front of him, saying, "Master, I've discovered that everything in the world is divided into positive and negative, or yin and yang. It's like the Demon Dao, which follows the 'opposite' side. And yin and yang are mutually transformative."
As he spoke, a Sword Qi appeared in his hand.
He developed the Yin-Yang Sword Intent of Sheng Jingcheng.
Azure Cloud Master nodded, looking at the Yin-Yang Sword Intent in Zhang Yang's hand and the Taiji Diagram on the ground, he understood.
He understood this principle.
Over the centuries, in the process of Demon Suppression, he had already discovered the concept of "yin and yang".
Zhang Yang changed the diagram and continued, "If we rigidly divide the process of Yin and Yang changes, we get four types of changes: Sun (Greater Yang), Shaoyang (Lesser Yang), Taiyin), and Shaoyin (Lesser Yin)."
Then, continuing to change, it can be divided into eight types of changes, and eventually, it becomes more and more numerous, eventually encompassing everything."
He began to explain to his master the concept of Taiji being divided into Yin and Yang, which in turn give rise to the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols give rise to the Eight Trigrams.
He couldn't say this directly yet, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain where these things came from.
Even using the Creation Spirit Hall as an excuse, it probably wouldn't be enough to explain it clearly.
Because this is a complete system.
"Master, you have ten clones." Zhang Yang continued, "According to my deduction just now, if eight of these clones can generate eight kinds of changes in the world, and two of these clones generate 'heaven and earth', then this encompasses the entire world!"
If ten clones were used to form an array, that would be an incredibly terrifying formation!
Azure Cloud Master's eyes lit up.
In fact, Zhang Yang only knew some concepts and spoke somewhat vaguely, but Azure Cloud Master himself was in the Mid Tribulation Realm.
His understanding of the Laws of Heaven and Earth and earth and the Great Dao is far superior to Zhang Yang's.
Now, with Zhang Yang's guidance, Azure Cloud Master instantly understood how his ten clones should truly come into play.
"I'll take a look!" Azure Cloud Master nodded and said, "You can handle the rest. Don't bother me during this time. I'll come out of seclusion when the time is up."
"I wish you success, Master." Zhang Yang smiled and took his leave.
Subsequently, Azure Cloud Gazette published the news.
When the news was released, the world was shocked.
Azure Cloud Master has only just broken through to the Mid Tribulation Realm, yet he's already going to fight a veteran Mid Tribulation Realm expert?
Moreover, he is the most powerful abbot.
Before the Sage Master broke through to the Late Tribulation Realm, the Abbot was the second strongest in the world, yet Azure Cloud Master actually challenged such a powerful figure...
When this news reached the various sects, many of them were dismissive of it.
Some people have even begun to question whether Azure Cloud Gazette is deliberately sensationalizing the public.
Not long after, One-Guard Monastery's "Moral World" also released news of the decisive battle between the temple's master Azure Cloud Master.
This has been confirmed as a decisive battle!
This made everyone even less convinced.
Zhou Junchen sneered, "He's only just broken through, yet he dares to challenge the Abbot. He's simply overestimating himself!"
Two weeks later, we can go see a joke and see how Azure Cloud Master is made to look foolish."
He didn't take it seriously at all.
The abbot of Return to Origin Temple, the Sacred Spirit Church, and others shook their heads repeatedly upon hearing the news.
They felt that the Azure Cloud Sect become arrogant, given how smoothly it had developed.
In the Langya Sacred Land, the Sage Master frowned deeply.
He was puzzled. Why would Azure Cloud Master challenge the Abbot? Was he really that confident?
Although they were all World-Opener with formidable combat power, in a sense, the abbot can also be considered World-Opener of Sword Dao!
After all, the most powerful Sword Dao in the Immortal Cultivation Realm right now is the Abbot.
However, since the Sage Master and Azure Cloud Master had discussed the Dao with each other, he did not think Azure Cloud Master was arrogant, but was somewhat surprised by Azure Cloud Master's combat strength.
At One-Guard Monastery, everyone was watching the abbot.
This decisive battle is known throughout the world.
They absolutely could not afford to lose One-Guard Monastery; if they did, they would not only lose Cang Song and the others, but they would also lose face.
The abbot glanced at the crowd and said calmly, "Although Azure Cloud Master young, he is quite courageous!"
Since that's the case, then of course I'll grant his wish.
Regardless, I will take this seriously.
I'm going into seclusion to recuperate; I'll emerge when my time is up.
After saying this, the abbot went into seclusion.
Compared to the uproar throughout the land, countless people in Azure Cloud City also learned of the duel between Azure Cloud Master and the Abbot, and there was much discussion among them:
"Who is this Abbot? How dare he challenge the Sect Leader to a School Leader?"
"No matter what, the School Leader absolutely cannot lose."
"We finally found a place that can shelter us, and this abbot actually wants to destroy it... God, you might as well just strike the abbot dead with lightning!"
"May God bless our School Leader, he must win!"
Throughout Azure Cloud City, only such sounds could be heard.
When countless people shared this sentiment, a terrifying power surged within Azure Cloud City.
"The Buddhist Dharma!" Wu Fa exclaimed, trembling with excitement. "I have seen the Buddhist Dharma! This is the Buddhist Dharma I have been seeking!"
He clasped his hands together and kept chanting Buddhist mantras.
Infinite Buddha!
