Tongtian's words left Chen Yang briefly stunned. Who would have thought that the path of Formation Dao possessed so many realms?
Yet the many principles within them left Chen Yang unable to refute them.

"There's nothing to be done about that. Within the Primordial World, many inheritances have been severed. In truth, there is a ninth realm among formation realms. However, that Formation Dao Race was wiped out too quickly, and much was never preserved. I, too, only obtained a few incomplete methods." Tongtian sighed with emotion.
Chen Yang turned solemn. "Master... I suppose I understand the formation realms you described. But compared with my own situation, something seems rather strange."
