Li Yang looked at the chessboard. Although it wouldn't be difficult for him to win this game, it would be a matter of waiting until after a hundred moves.
The game has now reached move 86, with only 14 moves remaining. No matter how fiercely he attacks, it's impossible for him to capture all the white pieces.
As long as there is one white piece remaining on the board, it means Lin An will pass this level.
Li Yang continued to make moves, and Lin An did not rush in, focusing on defense.
Soon, as Lin An placed another piece, Li Yang also stopped.
"Young friend, you've won," Li Yang said with a smile.
In his last 14 moves, he kept attacking and captured a lot of white stones, but now there are still 17 white stones left on the board, barely controlling the southeast corner.
"Thank you for your mercy, senior," Lin An said, bowing.
"It is because you are quite remarkable, young friend. With your mastery of the Dao of Dao of Formations, you are worthy of my legacy."
As Li Yang spoke, he slowly rose to his feet. With a flick of his sleeves, countless pillars of light rose from the chessboard, evolving into billions of array patterns.
The array patterns resembled a galaxy, encircling Lin An. Li Yang slightly opened his eyes, his pupils revealing a vast and boundless universe where countless stars were born and then perished.
Buzz...
The next instant, Li Yang touched Lin An's brow with his fingertip, and Lin An was immediately pulled into a boundless Origin Sea of the Dao of Formations.
Here, there seems to be no concept of time and space, only the most primordial array patterns, intertwining, colliding, annihilating, and then being reborn in the Sea of Origin.
Lin An was also looking at these primitive array patterns.
Amidst the interwoven primordial array patterns, he saw ancient powerful beings who, with a wave of their hands, crafted arrays from billions of stars, engaging in philosophical discussions with the heavens and earth.
He also saw countless forbidden formations that had disappeared into the long river of history, now revealed before him.
[Do you wish to spend 10,000 attribute points to comprehend the Origin of the Dao of Formations?]
Hearing the system's voice, Lin An's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected the system to be useful at this time.
"Yes."
Since he could use cheat codes, Lin An naturally wouldn't waste any time.
[You consumed 10,000 attribute points to comprehend the Origin of the Dao of Formations, and gained a sliver of insight.]
As the system's voice faded, Lin An felt as if something had increased, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
[Do you wish to spend 10,000 attribute points to comprehend the Origin of the Dao of Formations?]
The system's voice sounded again, and Lin An understood. Sure enough, becoming Immortal Rank Array Master couldn't be achieved with just 10,000 attribute points.
"Fortunately, I still have over 10 billion attribute points, which should be enough."
Lin An immediately communicated with the system, "Stop prompting me, just use my attribute points to comprehend it directly."
[You consumed 10,000 attribute points to comprehend the Origin of the Dao of Formations, and gained a sliver of insight.]
[You have consumed 100,000 attribute points to comprehend the Origin of the Dao of Formations, and you have gained some insights.]
[You consumed one million attribute points to comprehend the Origin of the Dao of Formations, and you gained a small amount of insight.]
[...]
As a series of notification sounds rang out, Lin An immediately felt a surge of insights rising within him, and he entered a profound and mysterious state.
As his understanding deepened, the primordial array patterns within the Origin of the Dao of Formations seemed to sense something and actively moved closer to Lin An.
"Traditional formations were combinations of runes and spiritual power. However, upon reaching the King Realm, having mastered the rules of heaven and earth, one can apply the power of those rules, greatly increasing the power of the formations."
"At the Sovereign Rank, the formation becomes the manifestation of the rules. Each Sovereign Rank formation is equivalent to the rules themselves. As long as the rules of heaven and earth are abundant, the formation can continue to operate."
"What about an Immortal Rank formation?"
Lin An felt a sense of doubt, but as his understanding deepened, his eyes soon lit up.
"Formations Immortal; every blade of grass and every tree can become a formation, even a single thought or a single cause and effect can form one."
"What is Immortal? It is to merge one's body with the formation, becoming the core of the formation, living as long as heaven and earth. As long as heaven and earth Immortal, the formation Immortal."
"Where the mind goes, the formation will naturally come to life."
Lin An's eyes grew brighter, and his aura underwent a tremendous change.
Meanwhile, outside, Lin An's true form sat cross-legged in the void, with Li Yang watching from the side.
"How much you gain depends on yourself. In ancient times, some people became Immortal array masters while still in the Sovereign Realm. I wonder if you can do that," Li Yang murmured.
The so-called inheritance is actually the opportunity to enter the Origin Sea of the Dao of Formations.
Each Immortal Rank array master is unique and has their own path.
Even if he poured all his insights into formations into Lin An, he would still be unable to help Lin An become Immortal Rank formation master.
Therefore, if you want to become Immortal Rank array master, you still need to rely on yourself.
The Origin Sea of the Dao of Formations is the sacred training ground for array masters, where they can come into contact with the essence of Dao of Formations and comprehend the original array patterns.
However, the Origin Sea of the Dao of Formations is not a place that anyone can enter at will; only Immortal Rank array masters can open it.
Of course, Lin An did indeed inherit some of his legacy, such as the nine ancient formations.
A day passed quickly.
Li Yang, who was protecting Lin An, suddenly stopped, stood up with disbelief in his eyes, and looked at Lin An.
"How is that possible? Only a day has passed, and he has already touched the threshold of becoming Immortal Array Master."
Li Yang looked at Lin An and could clearly sense that Lin An was different now.
Although he is not yet Immortal array master, he has already shown his talent and passed the most crucial hurdle.
Even if the other party fails to become Immortal Array Master this time, they will succeed within three years at most.
"I spent a hundred years meditating in seclusion before finally comprehending this; what is this compared to that?"
"So you think I'm utterly stupid?"
Li Yang wore a wry smile, but quickly suppressed his complicated emotions.
He wasn't considered a prodigy in ancient times; at most, he was just an ordinary genius.
In ancient times, there were many races, and the Human Race was just a small one.
Some races are born at the King Realm, a goal that many Human Race struggle to achieve in their entire lives.
Those who can be called geniuses among all races are all formidable figures.
He had lived through the ancient times, so although he was surprised by Lin An's extraordinary talent, he was, after all, a man of the world.
"However, with this little guy's talent, he could be considered a prodigy even in ancient times," Li Yang thought to himself.
Time continued to pass, and while Lin An continued to comprehend the Dao of Formations, others in the Land of Inheritance were also working hard.
"Not bad, not bad, you've passed this round."
In Li Yang City, Li Yang looked at Li Meng and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your guidance, ancestor."
Li Meng bowed deeply in gratitude. Although it had only been a little over half a month, her array formations had improved dramatically under the guidance of her ancestor.
While he may not be able to rival those veteran Sovereign Rank array masters, he is definitely far ahead of the rest of the younger generation in the Domain.
"Let's take a short break, then begin the third level."
Li Yang said, "Even if you don't receive the inheritance this time, there shouldn't be any problem when you come in next time."
The Land of Inheritance Li Clan Li Clan them various preferential treatments.
When the Land of Inheritance opened, Li Tan said that each person could only enter the Land of Inheritance once in their lifetime.
That's true, but also false.
For those outside the Li Clan, it is indeed possible to enter only once in a lifetime.
However, this is not the case for the Li Clan. Every member of the Li Clan has three opportunities to enter the Land of Inheritance.
If you fail to obtain the inheritance after three attempts, there's no point in wasting your spot by coming in again.
"Ancestor, what level is Young Master Lin An at now?" Li Meng asked curiously.
She knew she would not be able to inherit the legacy this time, but she was already very satisfied with the guidance she received from her ancestor and the many benefits she had gained.
However, she was filled with curiosity about Lin An, whom even her ancestors admired.
"He is already receiving the inheritance," Li Yang said.
Upon hearing this, Li Meng was startled.
I thought the other party would at most reach the fifth or even sixth level, but I never expected that I had only passed the second level while the other party was already receiving the inheritance.
The differences between people are really that big?
