"Breakthrough" with a Hint of Helplessness
Half an hour later.
"Goodbye, gentlemen!"
Yang Ling waved cheerfully to Tai Yun and the other two, and didn't forget to wave the Scroll in his hand.
Tai Yun and the others returned the smiles, offering their sincere congratulations, but behind them, their faces all fell into long, somber expressions.
"That old guy's lucky," Qian Cha said resentfully, but the envy in his words was impossible to hide.
Not only Qian Cha, but also Tai Yun and You Ye were the same.
There was no other reason than that Yang Ling had taken away the experience Xiao Han had promised to gain in breaking through to the Great Spirit Array Master before the battle.
Xiao Han's original rule was that the first person to advance to the Advanced Demon Subjugator could obtain it, but he didn't have much hope for it, just to motivate everyone.
After all, it is quite difficult for beings below the Heavenly Supreme to gather 5,000 Demon Subjugation Points. Simply holding them back will only hinder their growth in strength.
Therefore, as the war was about to end, everyone's Demon Subjugation Points were ranked, with the top scorer receiving a prize.
Anyway, after Xiao Han checked the results of the four people's Demon Subjugation Points and announced them, the four people's faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Especially You Ye, who ranked second, was stunned for a long time. He was usually expressionless. The gap was just too damn big. Fifty Demon Subjugation Points!
It's just a difference between a Lower Earthly Supreme!
There was nothing they could do but lament their helplessness.
"Alright, there will always be other opportunities in the future."
"Don't forget where we are now."
Tai Yun wasn't particularly upset. He just had bad luck this time, failing to encounter many powerful Extraterrestrial Evil race and ending up at the bottom.
After Tai Yun's reminder, Qian Cha and the other person came to their senses.
Xiao Han's promise remains valid.
This is the Border Defense Line! Not far away is the Saint Abyss Continent, the forward stronghold facing the Extraterrestrial Evil race the realm. How could we not have an opportunity?
······
Several days later.
"Boom!"
The Four Great Elders were carrying out their daily work when a sudden clap of thunder in the sky caught their attention. They saw a Spirit Array rapidly unfold and expand above the Council Hall, then spread throughout the entire city and disappear into the distance.
"This is..."
Tai Yun gasped in disbelief, his whole body trembling with excitement, staring dazzled at the Spirit Array in the sky.
"What's wrong?"
The unusual occurrence of the Tai Yun naturally did not escape the notice of the others, who spoke with curiosity.
The Spirit Array in the sky was clearly Xiao Han's doing. At a glance, it was probably a Spirit Array with recognition capabilities. Although the range it covered was a bit large, it shouldn't have caused such a commotion.
Isn't this the Palace Master's standard procedure?
Only...
There's an extra sun in the sky, and what's even stranger is that the sunlight isn't hot; it's even a bit comfortable.
"The Blazing Sun shines brightly, the Sky Covering Sun Array..."
"Immortal Grade... The Palace Master has broken through to the Immortal Array Master!"
Tai Yun's next words left Qian Cha and the other person stunned.
"Immortal Grade?! Old man Tai Yun, you're not joking?"
Qian Cha was shocked, and his voice became much louder.
Normally, Tai Yun might have expressed a few words of dissatisfaction with a smile, but he didn't have that thought now.
"Although I am old, my eyesight is not failing. This Sky Covering Sun Array is a true Immortal Grade Spirit Array. I personally handed it over to the Ice Emperor and the Palace Master, so how could I be mistaken?"
After saying this, Tai Yun added with considerable emotion:
"I never imagined that I would have the honor of witnessing the casting of this Immortal Grade Spirit Array in my lifetime."
"The Sky Covering Sun Array?" At this moment, You Ye, emerging from her shock, noticed something else.
"Brother Tai Yun, what kind of Spirit Array is this Sky Covering Sun Array?"
"A super Spirit Array that integrates identification, defense, and attack."
When Tai Yun spoke of the Sky Covering Sun Array, the light emanating from his eyes made Youye unable to look directly at him. You Ye continued speaking.
"Speaking of this Sky Covering Sun Array, I have possessed it for over a thousand years and have devoted myself to its study, but limited by my Spirit Array Cultivation, my gains have been meager..."
Perhaps due to excessive excitement, Tai Yun, who usually adhered to the principle of "silence is golden," began to talk incessantly, causing Youye's head to ache from the You Ye.
"But it's definitely a powerful Spirit Array!"
"Alright, alright, Brother Tai Yun, You Ye understands..."
The tone used to coax a child.
"Our Langya Heavenly Palace is destined for prosperity!"
This was a thought that arose spontaneously in the minds of several people.
At this moment, their wise and powerful, exceptionally talented Palace Master was completely bewildered as he felt his control over the Spirit Array in the sky.
"How did they break through like that?"
······
After Yang Ling and the others left the Council Hall.
Xiao Han pondered the future development direction of the Langya Heavenly Palace, especially the improvement of its strength. The Great War was not yet over, and the Extraterrestrial Evil race was at risk of making a comeback at any time. He would never place his hopes on the enemy's mercy.
Immediately sensing something, Xiao Han took out the Array Diagram originating from Tai Yun, infused it with Spiritual Power, and lines of text appeared in his mind.
The Sky Covering Sun Array a low-grade Immortal Grade Primary Spirit Array. A blazing sun hangs high beneath the azure sky, allowing the sunlight to identify, defend against, and slay enemies, integrating offense and defense. Once formed, the Spirit Array can autonomously absorb sunlight and Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth to maintain its Grand Array long as heaven and earth do not abandon it, the great sun will never perish.
Although the description of the Spirit Array is slightly exaggerated, its Immortal Grade still demonstrates its Spirit Array power.
Xiao Han did not believe that he could set up this Grand Array on his own. He only wanted to use the Array Diagram of the Sky Covering Sun Array to set up a Spirit Array that could roughly identify the enemy. After all, he could not tolerate the remnants of the Extraterrestrial Evil race causing trouble on his territory.
What Xiao Han didn't expect was...
You'll be captivated at first sight.
The profound mystery of the Immortal Grade Array Diagram captivated Xiao Han, who even unconsciously gestured at it. From the outside, Xiao Han's eyes appeared lifeless, surrounded by countless Spirit Seal that occasionally disappeared into the void or detached from it, forming obscure patterns.
Gradually...
The number of Spirit Seal around Xiao Han increased rapidly, their flexibility also increased, and the patterns they formed became increasingly difficult to understand.
At a certain point in time, the number of Spirit Seal exceeded a threshold, the threshold between Spirit Grade and Immortal Grade, and Xiao Han gained the qualification to set up Immortal Grade Spirit Array.
Throughout the entire process, Xiao Han, who was focused on the Sky Covering Sun Array, was completely unaware of anything. His only feeling was that his understanding of the Spirit Array was gradually deepening, as if a blessing had come to him, and everything went smoothly.
Finally, the Spirit Seal rapidly circled around Xiao Han's body and disappeared into the void. The Grand Array formation slowly took shape in the Council Hall, and then suddenly rose into the sky, covering the entire city.
When Xiao Han emerged from his meditative state, he thought it was just his imagination, but his control over the Sky Covering Sun Array told him that it was all real.
"This... this..."
"This is unbelievable!"
It's certain that Xiao Han had no intention of breaking through; otherwise, he would have appeared in the secret room instead of the Council Hall.
The hasty breakthrough caught Xiao Han off guard.
Although it was a good thing, Xiao Han couldn't accept it.
In his mind, a successful breakthrough should be the result of his arduous and even life-threatening efforts and crises, finally breaking through the barrier between the Spirit Grade and Immortal Grade.
As a result... I felt no sense of accomplishment whatsoever.
Xiao Han was so caught up in the bewilderment and regret of his unexpected breakthrough that he was completely unaware that his thoughts risked being killed.
This faint sadness didn't last long...
"Um?"
Xiao Han finally noticed the unusual movement within his body. After sending a message to Elder Yang Ling and the Elder, he flashed and rushed towards his secluded cultivation location.
He...
Another breakthrough is imminent!
