Humans are in the wilderness, God is in perfection!

Although the Array Hall does not judge people based on their cultivation level, there is actually a simple correspondence.

A sixth-rank disciple can be considered a top-tier true god or immortal.

Fourth-class disciples can be regarded as ordinary ancestral gods and immortals.

If one is a first-class disciple, then one is a master of array formations who surpasses the level of peak Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals. Even the Great Mo Academy has a chance of entering one.

"Let's see how far he can go."

The Immortal Ancestor Yu Yuan smiled faintly.

On the mountain of formations, Xia Mangqing had already broken the sixth formation, thus qualifying him to become a sixth-rank disciple.

But he did not stop there. Instead, he continued to climb the mountain and break through the formations. When he reached the seventh, eighth, ninth and so on, his speed of breaking through the formations suddenly slowed down.

"Senior brother's judgment remains as good as ever."

The Immortal Ancestor Yu Yuan smiled with a sigh.

But the disheveled ancestral immortal's eyes held a look of anticipation:

"This junior brother is stuck at this bottleneck, but if he can break through it, his mastery of array formations will be comparable to that of top-tier Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals. I want to see if he can break through this constraint during these ten years of trials."

Jade Ancestral Immortal nodded. The trial of the Array Hall would only last for ten years. After all, it was for recruiting disciples, and it couldn't be dragged on indefinitely.

Once a bottleneck or constraint is encountered, the test is essentially over for the vast majority of ordinary beings.

But if a being can break through its original bottleneck and reach a higher level in just ten years, then without a doubt, it is a genius!

All normal sects treat geniuses the same way, and will definitely pay them special attention. The Myriad Laws Sect is no exception.

Time passed slowly, but Xia Mangqing's speed in breaking the formations remained slow. It took him three years to break the nineteenth formation, and another five years to break the twentieth formation.

"What a pity."

The slovenly ancestral immortal sighed.

Yu Yuan, the Ancestral Immortal, also felt regret. If the Myriad Laws Sect could recruit a genius Ancestral Immortal, it would be of great benefit to both the sect and him. Unfortunately, although Xia Mangqing had been making progress in recent years, the pace was too slow, and no qualitative change had occurred, so the outcome could not be altered.

"I have finally completed the second level of the Celestial Eyes of Observation."

As the ninth year arrived, within his personal immortal abode, an avatar's gaze burned brightly, like two suns, capable of illuminating the heavens and the universe, and all the myriad aspects of life. In the eyes of the avatar outside, the great array whose operating rules were originally difficult to discern was now suddenly clear.

"So that's how it is! You can arrange the formation like that!"

Xia Mangqing was overjoyed. In his eyes, it seemed as if there were billions of stars, each following its own path, constructing a vast and boundless system that propelled the evolution of the chaotic void, like the creation of heaven and earth, full of infinite mysteries.

"This is a grand formation at the level of Ancestral Gods and Ancestral Immortals. It's like the workings of the Heavenly Dao, every single detail is exquisitely perfect, without the slightest deviation or error. It's as if... it has given the formation life!"

At this moment, Xia Mangqing suddenly realized something. He thought of the super array set up by the Myriad Gods Dao Lord, which was so divine that it gave birth to the spirit of the array and possessed astonishing power.

Imbuing formations with "spirituality" is a great path in formations. At this moment, he seems to have grasped a trace of its true meaning. Although he is still infinitely far from the level of the Myriad Gods Dao Lord, he has embarked on this heaven-reaching path.

"Perhaps, this can be used to create a path for array formations in the future."

Xia Mangqing felt something.

The Great Dao in the endless chaos can only be comprehended up to the Perfect World Realm level. Beyond that, one must create one's own Great Dao and grope one's way forward in the darkness.

The Daoist's saying "every step is a matter of life and death" originates from this.

Now, he has grasped a "prototype," although it is still far from perfect, but he can try to move in this direction in the future.

Coming to his senses, he realized that there was less than a month left before the test was over.

Without a second thought, he immediately continued breaking through the formation.

"break."

He had been studying the twenty-first formation for a long time, and now he broke it in an instant.

“Eh…”

The disheveled ancestral immortal suddenly turned his gaze over, and seeing the gleam in Xia Mangqing's eyes, he couldn't help but whisper, "He seems... to have changed."

A day later, Xia Mangqing broke through the twenty-second great formation, confirming the slovenly ancestral immortal's guess. He immediately stood up and laughed three times: "Hahaha, good!"

"Our Array Hall has gained another Heavenly Pride!"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother." Yu Yuan Zu Xian was equally pleased.

On the third day, the twenty-third great formation was broken.

On the tenth day, the twenty-fourth great formation was broken.

On the twenty-first day, the twenty-fifth great formation was broken!

"It's a pity, there might not be enough time."

Xia Mangqing looked up at the mountain peak. His previous enlightenment had greatly improved his mastery of array formations. He felt that he should be able to become a second-class Ancestral Immortal, but unfortunately, there wasn't enough time.

"You may continue breaking through the formation; there is no need to worry about time."

Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice entered my ears.

Xia Mangqing turned around and saw a disheveled Ancestral Immortal, with Ancestral Immortal Yuyuan standing beside him.

With a thought, he bowed to the disheveled ancestral immortal and then continued breaking the formation.

Three months later, the thirtieth great formation was broken, but the thirty-first great formation was beyond Xia Mangqing's comprehension. Even with his Celestial Eyes of Observation, he knew that this formation could not be broken overnight.

"I have thoroughly comprehended the array formation inheritance of the Qiyue Ancestral Immortal. Next, I should learn more profound inheritances in the Array Hall."

Qi Yue, the Ancestral Immortal, was nearly at the peak of the Ancestral Immortal realm in terms of formations. Xia Mangqing had previously comprehended her inheritance, which enabled him to break through formations one after another and arrive at the thirty-first great formation.

"Haha, congratulations on passing the test, junior brother!"

A figure appeared, none other than the disheveled ancestral immortal.

"May I ask how I should address you, senior brother?"

Xia Mangqing bowed and asked.

"Chang Shi"

The slovenly ancestral immortal grinned and said, "Junior brother is amazing! To break through to the next level right before battle, and with such a huge leap, truly a prodigy!"

"Senior brother, you flatter me!" Xia Mangqing replied, "It was just a momentary enlightenment, and I only gained a little something."

"Neither too much nor too little praise!"

Chang Shizu Xian waved his hand and laughed: "On the path of cultivation, countless beings seek enlightenment but fail to achieve it. Junior Brother's good fortune is a manifestation of your talent and potential."

"Forehead……"

Xia Mangqing didn't know how to respond, but Chang Shizu Xian, acting as if they were old friends, patted Xia Mangqing on the shoulder and said:

"I have already reported your matter to the Third Palace Master. She said that although you were a few months overdue, with your mastery of formations, passing the disciple advancement assessment would be a piece of cake, so she directly made you a second-class disciple."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Xia Mangqing was slightly surprised.

"It's alright, it's alright." Chang Shizu Xian waved his hand: "Junior brother, please take me with you for a while. This sect conference will last for a hundred years. I need to wait until all the beings have finished their trials before I can take you back to the Wanfa Sect."

"Junior brother understands."

Xia Mangqing nodded. The headquarters of the Wanfa Sect was not in the Great Mo Eternal Realm, but near the "Qu Ling Star Space-Time Array". The Wanfa Sect was the overlord of that area.

"Senior brother, may I continue to study the formation on the mountain?"

"There is nothing wrong with that."

Chang Shizu Xian nodded: "These thirty-six great formations are all remarkable. Moreover, as far as I know, if one can fully comprehend them and combine them into one, it will become a great formation at the level of a Chaos Immortal."

"The Third Palace Master once said that whoever can comprehend this great formation can become her personal disciple."

"Junior brother, if you're interested, you're welcome to give it a try!"

"Is that even a saying?"

Xia Mangqing smiled and didn't pay much attention.

He wanted to comprehend these formations simply because it would benefit him. He had no prior knowledge of these secrets, nor had he ever considered using them to become a disciple of the Third Palace Master.
