Seventh-Tier Formation Master —the power possessed by an array master of this level is something even a powerful expert from the Yuan Zong wouldn't dare underestimate!
So, does that mean Xiao Yan's team is now capable of facing even a powerful expert from the Yuan Zong?
Upon realizing this, the people present were once again shocked. Xiao Xuan, however, seemed to sense their thoughts, and chuckled softly, shaking his head and sighing:
"Don't underestimate the difficulty. Becoming Seventh-Tier Formation Master is not as easy as you imagine."
The art of formations relies heavily on formations, and the more powerful the formation, the more difficult it is to assemble. Especially after reaching the seventh level, almost all the formations required rely on Formation Plate to exert their power. Otherwise, not to mention the power required to assemble the formation, the long time involved would be unbearable for anyone.
The reason why Xiao Xuan was able to condense the Heaven-Imprisoning Formation in the blink of an eye was partly due to the immense Spiritual Strength, but more importantly, it was because he had already secretly condensed the array at the very beginning of the battle, just in time for the final moment when the battle would end.
Although he inherited the legacy of Venerable Heavenly Severing, Master Venerable Heavenly Severing was only Sixth-Tier Formation Master back then. His understanding and mastery of arrays were extremely limited. As it stands now, all the array techniques and skills that Xiao Xuan knows are far from enough for him to use, and even the sixth-order arrays he knows are extremely limited.
Moreover, his cultivation level was disproportionate to his array master level.
A powerful formation also requires strong cultivation power to support it. Even with Xiao Xuan's current strength, although it is a very strong force in this Far Southern Land, it is still too far-fetched to use it to support the casting and condensation of a high-level formation.
Five Star Origin King has already reached his limit by being able to condense multiple sixth-order formations; the success rate of condensing a seventh-order formation is probably no more than 50%.
Most importantly, Xiao Xuan currently possesses no scrolls related to seventh-order formations, making it impossible for him to learn them.
"Oh? Senior Xiao Xuan doesn't have any scrolls of high-level formations?"
Upon hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Luo Jin's eyes lit up immediately. Without saying a word, he quickly took out three scrolls sealed with jade from his Storage Ring and handed them to Xiao Xuan.
"These three scrolls were given to me by my father. He hoped that I could break the jade seal on them as soon as possible so that I could understand their mysteries. However, they are of no use to me. Since you need them, I will give them to you."
Looking at the three scrolls before him, Xiao Xuan didn't immediately accept them. He knew that these people, who followed Xiao Yan and helped him in his time of need, even risking their own safety, must be people Xiao Yan could trust. However, precisely because of this, he couldn't easily accept their gifts. They might be beneficial to him, but not necessarily to Xiao Yan. Moreover, Luo Jin had specifically emphasized the importance of these three scrolls; if he accepted them, perhaps...
"Hehe, Ancestor, there's no need to worry. Just accept it."
"Yes, senior, these are exactly what you need right now. You can always return them to me when you no longer need them."
As soon as Xiao Yan opened his mouth, Luo Jin grinned, looking completely unconcerned.
To say that he gave away these three scrolls without any ulterior motives would be absolutely false; these three scrolls were carefully selected by his father from the clan's treasury.
These three formations are all extremely powerful among seventh-order formations. At the same time, they are especially difficult to comprehend. When Luo Jin's father gave him the scrolls, he also sternly warned him not to give the formations to anyone. This alone is enough to prove the special nature of these three formations.
However, Luo Jin's gift to Xiao Xuan was partly intended to win Xiao Xuan's favor, but more importantly, he hoped to deepen his relationship with Xiao Yan. Three seventh-order formations and a future super powerhouse of the continent—the pros and cons were obvious, and Luo Jin didn't think he was losing out in this deal.
After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Xuan hesitated before putting away the scroll in his hand. He also thanked Luo Jin. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group prepared to enter the Crimson Flame Mountain Range.
Protected by the Extreme Cold Ice Soul of the Ice Soul, the group was no longer affected by the scorching temperature in the air. They sped across the mountain ridges at incredible speed, heading into the deepest part of the Crimson Flame Mountain Range.
According to Fang Zhicong, the sect of Burning Flame Valley is located deep within the Crimson Flame Mountain Range, and that place will surely surprise everyone who sees it for the first time. As for the reason, Fang Zhicong did not explain, and Xiao Yan did not ask further.
As the group drew closer to the location of the Burning Flame Valley's sect, they encountered many other outsiders also heading to the Burning Flame Valley. Indeed, just as Fang Chi had said, the Burning Flame Valley's sect competition had attracted a large number of powerful outsiders. It seemed that this sect competition was quite a grand event.
However, those people at this moment did not appear as relaxed and carefree as Xiao Yan and the others. They were under terrifying high temperatures. The closer they got to the depths of the Crimson Flame Mountain Range, the higher the temperature in the air became. It was as if an invisible flame was burning inside them, which not only severely consumed their internal Origin Qi but also forced them to slow down.
Of course, among those people, there were also some with powerful cultivation. One team was even faster than Xiao Yan and his group. When Xiao Yan observed the aura of their leader, the latter glanced at him and his sharp and domineering gaze instantly made Xiao Yan look away, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
The person leading the team was none other than a powerful expert at the Origin King Great Realm!
" The Southern Region truly is a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I've encountered three powerful figures here in the Far Southern Land in just a few days—something I'd never even seen in the Western Region. The Southern Region is probably far more exciting than I imagined!"
As Xiao Yan silently marveled at the cultivation levels of these people, a burning emotion gradually welled up in his dark eyes, and the hot blood in his chest was ignited at that moment.
Without climbing high, how can one see mountains beyond mountains? Without traveling far, how can one travel a thousand miles?
Only by walking with the strong can one become strong. The Far Southern Land is bound to be dangerous, but at the same time, it may also be an excellent place for trials.
