High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

Claim it now! Claim it now!

Chen Yuan did not hesitate.

boom......

A massive amount of knowledge about formations flooded into my mind!

Basic formations, advanced formations, saint-level formations, trapping formations, killing formations, illusion formations, sealing formations, spirit gathering formations, teleportation formations...

The countless profound array patterns, array bases, array eyes, and array hubs were instantly imprinted deep within his soul!

There are even ancient formations that have been lost for a long time, as well as methods for breaking various formations!

Chen Yuan opened his eyes after only a few breaths.

A faint, illusory array pattern flashed in his eyes before disappearing.

A smile played at the corners of his lips.

Saint-level array master, done!

In the future, let alone reinforcing the seal, given enough time, he could completely seal off the Netherworld Cave!

"What a pleasant surprise!"

Chen Yuan was in a great mood.

He had been trying to unlock the hidden achievements, but after trying for a long time, he couldn't get them.

As a result, casually sending Chen Tianling and the others to deal with a medium-sized Heavenly Cave today triggered something unexpected!

What's this called?

Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.

Seeing Chen Yuan suddenly smile, Lin Zuyao couldn't help but ask, "Chief Chen, is there... some good news?"

Chen Yuan glanced at him and smiled faintly.

"Nothing, just thinking of something happy."

He patted Shadow's head.

"Shadow, keep going, back to Luodu."

"Okay, boss!"

With a flap of its wings, the shadowy figure vanished into the void once more.

Disappeared over the city in the blink of an eye...

Half an hour later.

The outline of Longyuan Mountain finally came into view; it was already afternoon.

The shadow slowed down.

A massive body slowly emerged from the void and hovered above the mansion.

Inside the mansion.

Zhao Wenyuan was waiting in front of the main hall with a group of servants.

Their husband displayed great power in the Netherworld Cave, crippling the Netherworld Demon Lord at the peak of the ninth rank with a single punch and killing him with a few shots.

It has already spread throughout the entire Great Xia Kingdom through the official media of the Dragon Martial Division!

"The master is back!"

Zhao Wenyuan trembled with excitement upon seeing the colossal beast that blotted out the sky.

The servants behind him also looked up at him.

The shadow slowly descended, and when it was still dozens of meters above the ground, Chen Yuan took a step and landed on the steps in front of the main hall.

Chen Tianling and the others followed closely behind and landed steadily.

The shadowy creature rapidly shrank in mid-air, becoming the size of a miniature figurine in the blink of an eye. It flapped its tiny wings and flew to Chen Yuan's shoulder, where it crouched down.

"Boss, we're home!"

Chen Yuan nodded and patted its head.

Zhao Wenyuan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Sir! You're back!"

He looked up, his face full of excitement.

"Sir, we've all heard about your deeds in the Netherworld Cave! The entire Dragon Martial Division is talking about you now, saying you're the guardian deity of Great Xia!"

Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

"It's nothing, no need to make a fuss."

Little things?

Zhao Wenyuan's lips twitched.

A ninth-tier peak alien race is considered a "minor matter" in your eyes?

But he quickly composed himself and said respectfully:

"Sir, you've worked hard. Afternoon tea is ready. Would you like to rest first?"

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"No rush, let's take care of some things first."

He turned around and looked at Lin Zuyao behind him.

Lin Zuyao quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Master Chen, it is the greatest honor of my life to have accompanied you to the Netherworld Cave today and to have witnessed you slay the Demon Lord! Now that you have returned safely, I shall take my leave."

He said this with an expectant smile on his face.

"Regarding our previously agreed-upon visit to the Lin family..."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"I'll go over if I have time in the next few days."

Lin Zuyao was overjoyed upon hearing this!

"Thank you for your presence, Master Chen! The entire Lin family eagerly awaits your arrival!"

He bowed to Chen Yuan again, then his figure flashed and he took off into the air, flying towards Luodu City.

Although he has already broken through to the Martial Saint level.

But he always maintained sufficient respect in front of Chen Yuan...

After seeing Lin Zuyao off, Chen Yuan turned to look at his own residence.

His gaze swept across the entire manor and suddenly landed on the defensive array that enveloped the entire residence.

This was a top-tier defensive formation set up for him by the Dragon Martial Division, which was later strengthened by Chen Tianling and became extremely powerful.

But at the moment.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes.

From his perspective as a Saint-level formation master, this formation is riddled with flaws.

"What a pity," he murmured.

Such a fine mansion paired with such a formation is simply a waste of resources.

Chen Tianling noticed Chen Yuan's gaze and respectfully said:

"Boss, I've already reinforced this defensive formation once. It can withstand attacks from those below the mid-stage of Martial Saint."

Chen Yuan shook his head.

"not enough."

A smile played at the corners of his lips.

"Perfect for me to practice."

Chen Tianling was taken aback.

Practice?

The eldest brother also knows formations?

Before he could ask, he saw Chen Yuan take a step forward and hover above the mansion.

Overlooking the entire manor, Chen Yuan silently deduced the situation in his mind.

With his current mastery of formations, he could see all the weaknesses of the formation before him.

"This area is missing a key point...the array patterns there aren't tightly connected...the core defense is too weak..."

He nodded as he looked at it.

"It can be changed."

A thought crossed my mind.

hum!

One thousand top-grade spirit crystals and ten thousand high-grade spirit crystals appeared out of thin air in front of him!

The crystal-clear spirit crystal exudes a rich spiritual energy and shimmers with brilliant light under the setting sun!

Chen Yuan raised his hands slightly.

The spirit crystals were manipulated by an invisible hand and began to fly to various parts of the mansion along some mysterious trajectory!

"go!"

He gave a soft shout.

One thousand top-grade spirit crystals flew to eight directions of the mansion: east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest!

Hundreds of them fell in each spot!

The high-grade spirit crystals were scattered throughout the mansion like stars in the sky!

Chen Yuan closed his eyes and concentrated, his hands constantly forming hand seals.

Profound array patterns flowed from his fingertips and merged into the void!

The array patterns intertwined and swirled in the air, gradually forming a huge light shield that enveloped the entire mansion!

Countless complex runes flickered and flowed on the light shield, radiating a heart-pounding energy fluctuation!

The servants below watched with great curiosity.

Although they didn't understand formations, they could sense that the light shield covering their heads was many times stronger than before!

Time passed by, second by second.

Chen Yuan hovered in the air, his hands forming hand seals faster and faster.

Set up a Saint-level formation.

Even for him, it wasn't an easy task.

Ten minutes later, Chen Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and clasped his hands together!

"Formation complete!"

boom!!!

The protective light shield that enveloped the entire mansion suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance!

The light faded the next moment, and the light shield disappeared into the void.

Chen Yuan landed slowly with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Done."

Chen Tianling rushed forward, his eyes filled with shock.

"Boss, you...you know how to use formations?!"

Chen Yuan glanced at him and smiled faintly.

"I just learned it."

You just learned this?!

Chen Tianling's lips twitched.

To be able to set up an array of this level after just learning?!

"Boss, what level of attack can this formation withstand?" Chen Tianling couldn't help but ask.

Chen Yuan thought for a moment.

"At the peak of the Martial Saint realm, a full-force attack should be enough to withstand an incense stick's worth of damage. Even if you fight someone below the late stage of the Martial Saint realm for a whole day, you still won't be able to break through their defenses."

Chen Tianling gasped.

This defensive power is simply outrageous, several times stronger than before!

Chen Yuan added:

"Moreover, this formation is connected to the spiritual veins beneath Dragon Abyss Mountain. As long as there are spiritual veins, it can operate automatically without me having to use spirit crystals to maintain it."

"In other words, as long as the spiritual veins don't dry up, this formation will continue to exist."

Chen Tianling was completely convinced.

"Boss, you're amazing..."

Chen Yuan waved his hand and said no more.

And after setting up the defensive formation, they did not stop, but instead set their sights on the nine-story tower on the island in the middle of the lake in the backyard.

The tower houses the Dragon Martial Division's most powerful spirit-gathering array, capable of maximizing the concentration of spiritual energy from the Dragon Abyss Mountain's spiritual veins.

But in Chen Yuan's eyes, the spirit-gathering array also had room for improvement.

He flashed and instantly appeared in front of the cultivation tower, walked inside and looked around.

"The formation is good, but it's not enough."

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

Another thousand top-grade spirit crystals and ten thousand high-grade spirit crystals appeared out of thin air!

This time, the spirit crystal did not fly out of the tower.

Instead, they float throughout the tower.

Chen Yuan formed hand seals, and array patterns reappeared, but this time the patterns were more intricate and complex than before.

Because spirit-gathering arrays are more difficult to set up than defensive arrays.

It requires precise control over the position of each spirit crystal and the direction of each array pattern in order to gather spiritual energy to the greatest extent.

Time passed once more.

Chen Yuan was completely focused and dared not be distracted in the slightest.

Half an hour later.

hum...

A terrifying surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from within the cultivation tower!

Chen Yuan opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

"It's done."

He sensed the concentration of spiritual energy inside the tower and nodded in satisfaction.

It's doubled compared to before!

Although it's only double, it's important to know that this spirit-gathering array was already top-tier.

To double that is already the absolute limit.

"Unfortunately, the array's grade limits its potential," Chen Yuan murmured. "If I could get my hands on a higher-grade array diagram, I could improve it further."

But it's enough for now.

He casually waved his hand and sat down cross-legged inside the tower.

The surrounding spiritual energy surged in like a tide, and one could feel one's cultivation level slowly increasing without actively absorbing it.

Even though I couldn't break through, it still felt great.
