The First Venerable of All Paths

Chapter 99 Mysterious Realm, Born Array Master!

Mysterious Realm.

This is the name of the Fang Family Secret Realm.

Because this secret realm was earned by Fang Xuan on his own, the Fang family unanimously decided to name it after him.

Three figures appeared within the array inside the main hall.

This teleportation array was built by Fang Xuan after he became the master of the secret realm.

The only passage is in the dry well of the Fang family's ancestral home.

"Young Master!"

Upon seeing Fang Xuan appear, Zhan Er, who was guarding the main hall, quickly got up to greet him.

The teleportation array within the Fang family's residence is personally guarded by Zhan Yi.

Here, Zhan Er and another member of the Dark Guard were.

Currently, all ten members of the Dark Guard are at least at the fifth level of the Qi Gathering Realm.

Zhan Yi was already at the eighth level of the Qi Gathering Realm.

All of this is thanks to the Illusionary Formless Technique.

This technique aims only to achieve a rapid breakthrough in cultivation level.

With the resources provided by Fang Xuan, the secret guards were able to improve their cultivation at an extremely fast pace.

As for the problem of instability caused by this, Fang Xuan asked the secret guards to go to the secret realm to fight and train whenever they had free time, so as to temper their bodies.

"Um."

Fang Xuan nodded, without exchanging more words with Zhan Er, and quickly left the main hall with the two people behind him.

Outside the main hall is a well-arranged cluster of buildings.

It was the stronghold of the Fang family in the Mysterious Realm.

After this period of renovation, the entire base has taken initial shape.

"Brother, is this the Mysterious Realm?"

Fang Rou looked around curiously and said, "It doesn't look any different."

Wasn't it said that the secret realm was teeming with blood beasts and fraught with danger?

What she saw, however, was a group of buildings that were quite similar to the Fang family mansion outside.

Beside Fang Rou, however, was a thin girl with dry, yellow hair, her bright eyes fixed on something, looking quite serious.

Noticing the other person's reaction, Fang Xuan asked, "Yue girl, what did you see?"

This young girl was Fang Yuantong's granddaughter, Fang Yue'er.

She is Fang Xuan's cousin.

"Little Yue'er, my brother is asking you a question."

Seeing Fang Yue'er staring intently, Fang Rou gently nudged her and said with a smile, "What are you looking at so intently?"

"line."

Fang Yue'er blurted out, pointing in the direction she was looking, "There, and here, including the entire stronghold, there are so many lines."

"What lines?"

Fang Rou looked around, puzzled, and said, "I don't see anything, Xiao Yue'er, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"No, not at all."

Fang Yue'er stubbornly said, "Sister Xiaorou, I really saw a lot of lines, and they were moving, like they were alive."

"Little Yue'er, are you feeling unwell?"

Fang Rou touched Fang Yue'er's forehead and said with concern, "I heard that you might experience hallucinations the first time you ride a teleportation array."

"Brother, do you want to have Xiaoyue'er checked out?"

However, Fang Xuan ignored his sister and stared intently at Fang Yue'er, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"Young Master, I...I'm not lying, and it's not an illusion."

Under Fang Xuan's gaze, Fang Yue'er immediately became nervous, and said in a tearful voice, "I really saw it."

"take it easy."

Fang Xuan slowed his voice and took a few steps with his feet.

"Little Yue'er, tell me now, what did you see?"

Fang Yue'er's expression changed, and she pointed in front of her, saying, "They... those lines have changed, they've turned into a lion."

"And now?"

"elephant!"

"A mountain!"

Fang Xuan asked three times, and Fang Yue'er gave the answer she saw each time.

This made Fang Rou even more puzzled.

"Brother, what are you guys doing?"

Fang Xuan burst into laughter, his voice filled with unbridled joy.

But this made Fang Yue'er even more anxious and nervous.

Before entering the secret realm, her grandfather had given her many warnings.

You must listen to the young master.

In fact, even without her grandfather's reminder, she had long regarded Fang Xuan as a god-like being.

Not only her, but the entire younger generation of the Fang family all regard Fang Xuan as an idol and a goal to pursue.

only.......

Fang Yue'er's eyes suddenly dimmed.

She failed to open her meridians twice, and was basically out of the running for martial arts.

But her grandfather told her that the young master had a way to help her awaken her martial meridians.

This made Fang Yue'er so excited that she couldn't sleep.

However, Fang Yue'er was worried about the young master's reaction. She wondered if she had offended him and he was about to expel her from the secret realm.

"Little Yue'er, don't be afraid."

Fang Xuan said, "I'll ask you one more question, and you must answer me seriously."

"Uh-huh."

Fang Yue'er nodded repeatedly and said, "Young Master, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know."

Fang Xuan took a deep breath and said in an extremely serious tone, "Tell me, when you opened your meridians the first two times, did you also see various lines?"

Fang Yue'er suddenly opened her eyes wide and said in a shocked voice, "Young...Young Master, how did you know?"

"The lines I saw before weren't as numerous or as bright as those here."

Fang Yue'er thought for a moment and said, "The lines here look even more impressive."

"really!"

Fang Xuan said with a bright smile, "Little Yue'er, congratulations, you are a born array master."

"what?"

The two little girls both opened their mouths wide, their faces filled with shock.

"Brother, you mean, Xiaoyue'er is a formation master?"

Fang Xuan nodded and said, "That's right."

He looked at Fang Yue'er and said, "The lines you just saw are the unique array patterns in the formation."

"Array patterns?"

Fang Yue'er frowned.

"Exactly."

Fang Xuan said, "Array patterns can only be seen by array masters. But the array patterns here were set up by me personally. Even a third-grade array master wouldn't be able to see them, yet you can. How amazing do you think that is?"

"Wow!"

Fang Rou exclaimed in surprise, her face full of envy, "Little Yue'er, you're a formation master!"

"But......"

Fang Yue'er lowered her head and said in a dejected tone, "If I can't become a martial artist, then I'll become a true formation master."

Array masters need elemental energy to set up arrays.

However, she had already failed to open her meridians twice in a row.

"Who said that?"

Fang Xuan's lips curled up, and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, your two previous failures to awaken your martial veins were precisely because of the influence of these array patterns."

"Yes."

Fang Yue'er said, "Every time I awaken my martial meridians, I see many, many lines. They always interfere with my meridian opening."

"Then why didn't you tell the clan?"

Fang Rou said, "If you had said so earlier, you would have been a formation master by now."

"I dare not."

Fang Rou lowered her head, clutching the hem of her clothes nervously, and said, "I'm afraid everyone will think I'm crazy. I don't want to hurt my father or make my grandfather sad."

"Alright, alright."

Fang Rou, like an older sister, patted Fang Yue'er's head and said, "Now that the problem has been found, my brother can definitely help you awaken your martial meridians."

"Brother, you must have a way, right?"

Fang Yue'er also raised her head, looking at Fang Xuan with anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuan frowned.

This made the two little girls nervous.

"If it's due to the influence of the array patterns, then ordinary methods might not be able to help Xiaoyue'er awaken her martial meridian."

Seeing the disappointment on Fang Yue'er's face, Fang Xuan comforted her, "But little sister is right. Now that we've found the problem, let's find a way to solve it."

"Little Yue'er, did you hear that?"

Fang Rou took Fang Yue'er's hand and said, "I told you, my brother is really amazing."

"Uh-huh."

Fang Yue'er nodded in agreement, a subtle smile appearing on her face.

"Alright, you can rest here for a couple of days."

Fang Xuan said, "I will help you awaken your martial veins after I am fully prepared."

His purpose in entering the secret realm this time, besides going into seclusion, was to help his younger sister awaken her martial meridians.

After taking Xiaomei and Fang Yue'er to the residential area, Fang Xuan found Fang Ren.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

Upon seeing Fang Xuan, Fang Ren immediately clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, displaying great deference.

"Tell me about what's been going on lately."

Fang Xuan took a sip of tea and looked at Fang Ren.

Nowadays, Fang Ren is considered the head steward of the entire stronghold.

Because he is a very steady person, and he was personally trained by Fang Xuan, he is trustworthy.

"Young Master, everything went smoothly."

Fang Ren said, "The clansmen who have entered the secret realm are making rapid progress in their cultivation. Fang Yong is the most outstanding among them; he will be able to attempt to break through to the Qi Gathering Realm in at most three months."

"Oh?"

Fang Xuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Indeed, it's quite good."

Among the six brothers, Fang Yong was not the most talented, and his cultivation level was previously only average.

However, he was pure of heart and had an extraordinary dedication to martial arts, which allowed him to surpass others in the secret realm.

This was something Fang Xuan hadn't expected.

Fang Xuan continued, "What about the clansmen the Li family arranged to come in?"

"Cultivate within the designated area."

Fang Ren said, "As per the young master's instructions, they are not allowed to leave the base except for cultivating here and some routine training."

Fang Xuan nodded and said, "Unless there are special circumstances, there's no need to pay too much attention to it normally."

"Yes."

After learning about the situation of the Mysterious Realm, Fang Xuan dismissed Fang Ren and began to ponder alone.

What he was thinking about was naturally how to help his younger sister and Fang Yue'er awaken their martial meridians.

"My little sister is fine. With the previous preparations, awakening her martial meridian shouldn't be a problem. But it's Xiaoyue'er who's in trouble."

Fang Xuan stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "A natural-born array master. Even in Empress Zhenxiao's inherited memories, this is an extremely rare physique. But to successfully awaken it is no easy feat."

A natural-born array master must awaken their array master talent simultaneously in order to awaken their martial vein.

A single talent is alright.

However, combining both makes it virtually impossible for an ordinary person to accomplish.

"Let's see if there are any methods related to this in Empress Zhenxiao's inherited memories."

Fang Xuan closed his eyes and began to carefully search through the inherited memories.

Nearly half a day later, Fang Xuan finally opened his eyes, a look of exhaustion on his face.

Searching for inherited memories was also an extremely mentally taxing task for him.

Fortunately, Fang Xuan did find a solution that wasn't really a solution.

"Simultaneous awakening is out of the question unless there is a top-tier expert protecting you."

Fang Xuan said softly, "If we can use other methods to help Xiao Yue'er awaken her martial veins first, and then awaken her array master talent, there is a certain chance of success."

"Stone carvings of battle formations!"

Fang Xuan suddenly remembered the array stone carvings he had obtained in Ye Village.

"The array stone carvings just happen to need to be re-injected with array power. If Xiaoyue'er were to channel the array patterns she saw into the array stone carvings when she awakens her martial meridians, wouldn't it be unaffected?"

Thinking of this, Fang Xuan became excited.

He quickly got up, found Fang Yue'er, and took out the array stone carving.

"Little Yue'er, look at this."

Fang Xuan asked, "What can you see?"

Fang Yue'er looked at the stone slab in front of her, her little face full of doubt as she shook her head: "This is just an ordinary stone slab, I can't see anything about it."

Is that not possible?

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuan couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

"Brother, is this the solution you came up with?"

Fang Rou pouted and said, "It's just a prank."

However, Fang Yue'er, as if possessed, reached out and touched the array stone carving.

next moment.

Brilliant patterns burst forth from the stone carving and entered Fang Yue'er's body.

Upon seeing this, Fang Xuan's expression changed drastically.

He was about to stop them when he was thrown away by an invisible force and crashed heavily to the ground.

As for Fang Yue'er, she was now completely enveloped by a vast power.

"Brother, what should we do?"

Fang Rou sounded somewhat anxious.
