Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 67 - 62: The Up-and-Coming Demon Fiend Li Chunfeng’s Younger Brother Runs Into Tough Opposition
When Shangguan Wan’Er was setting up the array.
Dugu Nan and Qi Yun were also by the side.
The former slightly coughed to cover his embarrassment when he noticed Ye Xiaofan looking at him.
"Don’t look at me like that. Looking at me is useless. I have only dedicated my life to the Sword Dao and know nothing about the Array Dao. Even the Spirit Transformation Array was set up overnight by someone I found for you."
After Dugu Nan spoke, feeling he hadn’t made himself clear enough, he briefly pondered and added, "If you want to cultivate in arrays, go study in the Array Peak Scripture Pavilion yourself. I am powerless to help."
Upon these words, Nangong Jianchen and Shangguan Wan’Er both stood aside, maintaining their poise, remaining silent with a faint awkwardness.
Ye Xiaofan, upon hearing this, turned his gaze to Qi Yun.
Qi Yun raised an eyebrow.
"Don’t look at me either. I, too, only devote my life to the Talisman Dao. Although it was Brother Nan who found me overnight to set up the Spirit Transformation Array, I only know this one formation, and it is barely notable."
"Moreover, even if I understood array formations, I wouldn’t take you as a disciple. At most, I would give you a few pointers. Brother Nan is your master, and taking away someone’s disciple is not something I, as the Peak Master, would do."
Upon hearing the exchange between Dugu Nan and Qi Yun, even Nangong Jianchen and Shangguan Wan’Er couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Ye Xiaofan’s gaze dimmed. Dugu Nan dedicated his life to the Sword Dao, Qi Yun dedicated his life to the Talisman Dao. These two could be considered rare anomalies in the Cultivation Realm.
After speaking, Dugu Nan coughed twice, feeling somewhat redundant standing there, and turned first to walk toward a small courtyard nearby, with Qi Yun following nonchalantly.
However, as soon as they turned, their expressions became extremely awkward, even quietly ridiculing each other.
"You’ve got to be kidding, a First Generation Sword Saint, and you didn’t dabble in Array Dao in your youth? Now look at you, losing face in front of the younger generation."
"And you have the nerve to talk about me? Why didn’t you study it when you were young?"
"I had no innate talent for Array Dao at all. In my youth, I couldn’t even sense a single Power of Heaven and Earth. What would I research Array Dao for?"
"You lack talent, do I have any?"
"Alright, alright, let’s drop it. It’s embarrassing."
Ye Xiaofan looked at the departing duo and instantly lost motivation. It seems that these auxiliary paths of cultivation would have to be pursued by himself, wondering how his talent would fare in this area.
With these thoughts, Ye Xiaofan immediately asked Nangong Jianchen for some precautions.
According to Nangong Jianchen’s explanation.
Although the Divine Sword Sect had opened the Three Thousand Kill Array Technique to all disciples of the sect, they were mainly conventional formations.
To learn more terrifying kill arrays, one must go to the Array Peak Scripture Pavilion.
"Array Peak Scripture Pavilion?"
Ye Xiaofan frowned upon hearing this: "Since it’s the Array Peak’s Scripture Pavilion, disciples from other Spirit Peaks shouldn’t be allowed to come and go freely, right?"
"Not necessarily. If you truly have talent in this area, the Array Peak wouldn’t keep it to themselves. Most of the array manuals’ storage buildings can still be accessed."
Nangong Jianchen explained: "However, accessing the buildings holding high-level array secrets may not be so easy."
After hearing Nangong Jianchen’s words, Ye Xiaofan frowned slightly.
This meant that although the Array Peak also opened the Scripture Pavilion to Outer Peak disciples, they could not freely enter the buildings storing high-tier array secrets.
As Ye Xiaofan frowned.
Seemingly wanting to regain some face, Dugu Nan, who was playing chess with Qi Yun in the courtyard, suddenly called out from afar:
"Take your Sword Saint heir identity token. You can freely access all Scripture Pavilions on all peaks of the Divine Sword Sect. No one will stop you, and no one dares to."
Ye Xiaofan was overjoyed to hear this but soon felt some concern, "Master, what if they forbid the disciple from entering?"
Dugu Nan responded with a faint smile: "Then you tell them, if anyone stops you, I will personally cut down their pavilion with a single sword."
These words left Nangong Jianchen and Shangguan Wan’Er stunned, staring blankly at the imposingly confident Dugu Nan in the courtyard. Their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy when looking at Ye Xiaofan.
Ye Xiaofan’s mouth gradually curved into a smile upon hearing this.
He had just reached the pinnacle of the First Layer of the Profound Sea stage and needed time to settle and stabilize his foundation.
Taking advantage of this free time, it would be good to delve into these auxiliary paths to cultivation.
Thoughts moved, actions followed.
That night, after gathering information about Array Peak, Ye Xiaofan set off for Array Peak at dawn the next day.
"Do you think this kid can really gain something from his trip to Array Peak?"
Qi Yun, watching Ye Xiaofan quickly head down the mountain, continued speaking with a wry smile:
"Every path requires talent; the stringent requirements of the Array Dao are no less than those of the Sword Dao. Heaven is fair; when it grants a person an extraordinary talent in one aspect, their other talents are usually quite ordinary."
It was evident Qi Yun wasn’t particularly hopeful about Ye Xiaofan’s desire to study the Array Dao.
"Being able to master one or two high-tier kill arrays would still be beneficial for him." Dugu Nan also took a deep breath, knowing full well that the Array Dao is nowhere near easy.
The Array Dao, even just sensing the Power of Heaven and Earth, has severed the dreams of countless unmatched prodigies wanting to pursue the path of arrays.
Time flowed on.
After leaving South Peak, Ye Xiaofan hurried towards the Array Peak area.
By the time he entered the Array Peak range, the sun was high in the sky.
Thanks to the Divine Sword Sect aura his attire carried, he managed to enter the Array Peak area smoothly.
Luckily, all here were disciples mainly focusing on the Array Dao, not the areas under the Seven Great Sword Peaks where Sword Dao prodigies ran rampant, so Ye Xiaofan’s arrival didn’t garner much attention from the Array Peak disciples.
