90: If my sister is a reincarnated immortal, then he must be a reborn celestial emperor!

Hearing the Female Yan Emperor's mocking voice, Xiao Qinger immediately asked in her mind.

"Senior Brother can even deduce a Golden Body Cultivation Technique, alas, is a Formation even harder than that?"

Hearing this, the Female Yan Emperor replied irritably, "Are you kidding me? These are two completely different matters! Formations, Pills, Talismans, Control, Artifacts—these all rely on natural talent. It's as difficult for someone without talent as it is for a Mortal to dream of cultivation."

"And how much time has even passed? Just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn! Even if his Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying, how much could he possibly learn?"

"Didn't you see that thick scroll? Even if he reads ten lines at a glance, he'd still need three days and three nights to finish it!"

The Female Yan Emperor was absolutely certain that Shen Nian definitely didn't understand the Dao of Formations. If he did, given his personality, why would he stand here foolishly for half a day?

Just now, he probably wanted to try learning it, but after looking for a long time without understanding, he returned it to Murong Chen!

This is the most logical explanation!

"Is that so..." Xiao Qinger was somewhat doubtful.

The Female Yan Emperor's mouth twitched slightly, feeling annoyed. Since when did Her Majesty's words lose all credibility?!

She remembered the time when her Divine Soul first awakened and she first interacted with Xiao Qinger—the girl was completely obedient and never questioned her!

This made her feel a great loss of Face!

"If you don't believe me, just watch. If he becomes a Grandmaster of Formations in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then Her Majesty will..." Before the Female Yan Emperor could finish, Xiao Qinger's beautiful eyes lit up, interrupting her, "Empress, you still owe Senior Brother one round of warming his bed, right..."

"..." The Female Yan Emperor was instantly speechless, and a hint of awkwardness flashed in her golden eyes.

Fine!

Her Majesty won't say any more!

I can't talk about this anymore!

At this moment.

Shen Nian did not respond to Murong Chen, but slowly turned and stepped into the air.

"What is Brother Shen doing..." Murong Chen looked at Shen Nian's retreating figure with a puzzled expression.

Lin Qingyue shook his empty wine gourd, helplessly placing it on his waist, then casually said, "Could it be that Junior Brother Shen is exceptionally talented and has already become a Grandmaster of Formations?"

"Huh?" Murong Chen was stunned and quickly shook his head, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

What kind of joke is this!

Just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and you say he became a Grandmaster of Formations?

This is even more unbelievable than going from Golden Core to Soul Transformation in half a month! This is utterly impossible!

No matter how exaggerated, it can't be more exaggerated than my sister!

That thing is terribly complicated. He only barely managed to get started after looking at it for several years, only learning the basics. Breaking a Foundation Establishment Formation is fine, but a Golden Core Formation is already difficult!

"I was just saying that casually..." Lin Qingyue shrugged, admitting he didn't believe it either.

Xia Youyue, who had been gazing at the Ancient Forest across the way, withdrew her gaze, looked at the White-robed Figure in the sky, and showed a hint of confusion.

"Senior Brother is..."

But when that gentle voice rang out in the sky, everyone's eyes widened.

In mid-air.

Liu Huihui kept her eyes tightly shut, dividing her concentration ninety-nine ways, constantly searching for the Formation Core. She was already drenched in sweat.

"How could this be..."

"There is actually a Formation within this Formation—a Formation Hidden Within a Formation! The skill used to set this up is probably even stronger than that of the Second Valley Master. Could this be a Void Return-level Formation Great Expert?" Liu Huihui was shocked.

The next second, a voice rang out next to her ear.

"Let me try." Shen Nian stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the Abyss below. A hint of Runes rotated in his eyes, as if he were searching for something.

"???" Liu Huihui opened her eyes and looked beside her in disbelief.

What was he saying?

He wants to break the Formation?

Huh?

Just based on the short time he spent looking at the General Record?

And he thinks he can break this Formation?

He can't be joking with me!

But when Liu Huihui saw the serious expression on his Face, her own expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Shen Nian's action made her unhappy. What, did he think this Formation was very simple?

Or did he think that I, Liu Huihui, was incompetent?

Do you even know how difficult this Formation is?

Forget it!

I'll just treat this as a short rest... In my current state, I wouldn't be able to break it even if I continued.

Immediately after, she gripped the ninety-nine Silver Needles, cupped her hands, and casually said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, this Formation is no small matter. It is profoundly complex and cannot be solved by anyone who is not a Grandmaster of the Dao of Formations. You..."

She said this to make Shen Nian retreat gracefully, and also to prove that it wasn't her lack of skill, but the Formation's immense difficulty!

"I know," Shen Nian replied casually.

Hearing this, Liu Huihui showed a helpless expression and said, "Then, Fellow Daoist Shen, please be careful..."

Although she said this aloud, she actually didn't take Shen Nian's attempt to break the Formation seriously at all.

After speaking, Liu Huihui didn't spare another glance, turning and descending to the ground.

In her view, Shen Nian wanting to break this Formation was nothing short of a fool's dream.

It's just that she wasn't the type to enjoy sarcasm, but she still held a bit of pride in her heart, which is why her expression was somewhat sour during this exchange.

"Senior Sister Liu, is this Formation really that difficult?" Murong Chen quickly stepped forward and asked.

Liu Huihui gave him a cold look. Murong Chen gave a shaky smile, "Hehe, that was a slip of the tongue earlier, Senior Sister Liu, please don't mind it!"

"Hmph!"

Liu Huihui let out a cold snort, then sat down cross-legged, needing to recover after expending too much mental energy earlier.

But just as she closed her eyes, she heard Murong Chen cry out in surprise.

"Holy mother~!"

"This is insane!!"

Liu Huihui opened her eyes and looked. Her expression instantly froze, her pupils sharply contracted, and her mouth slightly agape, gradually falling into deep shock.

Only to see in the sky.

Shen Nian's entire body emitted a Mysterious Power. Every movement contained an inexplicable flow of Dao Rhyme. His finger constantly pointed out streaks of Spiritual Light, which precisely locked onto the Formation Bases that had been sealed for many years within the Abyss.

For Shen Nian, who could break Soul Transformation Formations, this Formation, though complex, was not too difficult.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Nian had already struck out over one hundred and ninety streaks of Spiritual Light, and an invisible force quietly dissipated... It seemed as if the entire world had become slightly clearer.

"This..." Liu Huihui abruptly stood up, looking at the White-robed Figure in the sky, too shocked to speak.

How is this possible... This technique is miraculous; this is clearly a Grandmaster of the Dao of Formations!!

How did I dare to look down on him just now?

At this moment, Liu Huihui only felt a stinging heat on her Face, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

Murong Chen, standing nearby, was completely numb from watching. He muttered, "This shouldn't be possible. Brother Shen reached this level in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?"

What the hell!

If my sister is a Reincarnated Immortal, then he's probably an Immortal Emperor Rebirth!

Splendor flashed in Xiao Qinger's eyes as she kept asking in her mind, "Empress, what do you say now?"

At this moment, the Female Yan Emperor gritted her teeth, her golden eyes filled with shock, unable to utter a single word.

From now on, Her Majesty will absolutely not utter another half-word about him!

He's fundamentally not a person; he doesn't even count as a Prodigy!

He's a monster!!

What normal person could become a Grandmaster of Formations in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?

Wait!

This kid must be faking it; he definitely knew how to do this a long time ago!

But his personality isn't the type to hide his strength and act weak. I really can't figure it out!

"Senior Brother's Comprehension Ability is truly terrifying..." Xia Youyue looked at the sky. She handled it better, as she knew Shen Nian had deduced the Soul Transformation Golden Body Dharma Idol, but there was still shock in her eyes.

Lin Qingyue shook his head helplessly with his hands behind his back, "Alas, it's difficult..."

Forget it. I'll just assume you're not one of our peers from now on... The Purple-Robed Man who had been standing nearby, afraid to speak, also looked at the sky with a Face full of shock, not knowing what to say.

In the sky.

Shen Nian paid no attention to the commotion below, but focused all his attention on using his Mental Eye to search for the Core Formation Core.

"Since it's hidden within another Formation, the Formation cannot be broken unless it is activated. No wonder Liu Huihui couldn't find it..." Shen Nian captured the aura of the Core Formation Core and murmured softly. Even he would have to spend a considerable amount of time, but the Ruins had been open for a while, and he was eager to find the Black Feather Demon Emperor to solve his fate problem.

Immediately, he glanced sideways at the Purple-Robed Man.

"Are you willing to help me break the Formation?"

Among those present, only he was at the Nascent Soul Stage, which was enough to activate the Formation's power, allowing Shen Nian to strike and shatter the Formation Core.

"What do I need to do?" the Purple-Robed Man asked.

"Just rush over," Shen Nian replied.

As soon as he said this, the Purple-Robed Man's Face instantly turned deathly pale. The scene of the previous few people turning to dust was still vivid in his memory.

"If you don't want to, forget it," Shen Nian added, although

Just at this moment.

Lin Qingyue walked a few steps forward and said, "I'll go..."

His expression was open and honest, imbued with a certain gentlemanly aura.

However, a single sentence from Shen Nian made him freeze entirely on the spot.

"You are too weak."

"..." Lin Qingyue's mouth twitched slightly. Junior Brother Shen, couldn't you have phrased that differently?

Did you have to be so blunt?

Xiao Qinger and Xia Youyue both looked at Lin Qingyue with a hint of sympathy.

This made Murong Chen unable to help but laugh out loud. He then strode forward quickly and said, "This Little Brother is untalented, but I..."

"You are even weaker."

"..." Murong Chen's expression was awkward.

Lin Qingyue whispered, "Thanks, I feel much better now..."

Liu Huihui, still looking shocked on the ground, looked up at the White-robed Figure in the sky with some confusion.

What exactly is he planning to do?

Activate Formation to Break Formation?

But if he fails to find the Formation Core in that instant, it will be dangerous... The difficulty of this is so immense that even the Second Valley Master might not be able to achieve it!

"Senior Brother, I..." Just as Xia Youyue opened her mouth, she saw the Purple-Robed Man grit his teeth, nod heavily, and cup his hands, saying, "My life was saved by Sir, I should repay this!"

"I'll go!"

He made his decision and stepped out.

"Since I chose to come to the Ruins, I long ago considered the risk of life and death—I'll go all out!" The Purple-Robed Man showed a look of determination. In his heart, compared to others, Shen Nian made him feel more reliable; at least the other party didn't force him.

Otherwise, he would have had to go even if he didn't want to!

The next second, he stepped into the sky, cupped his hands toward Shen Nian, and then looked at the Ancient Forest across the way.

"Don't worry, you won't die," Shen Nian said softly.

The Purple-Robed Man nodded and smiled, "I trust Sir!"

Immediately afterward, he transformed into a Flowing Rainbow and rushed forward without the slightest hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the Purple-Robed Man was about to step onto the ground in front of the Ancient Forest.

Boom!

A terrifying Oppressive Force instantly struck, and the Purple-Robed Man's Face turned white.

At the same time.

"Found it!" Shen Nian raised an eyebrow slightly, pointed his finger toward the Abyss, moving with the speed of rushing thunder.

Shatter!

Crack!

The ancient Jade Stone, hidden deep within the Abyss, surrounded by twelve Small Black Flags in a pitch-black cave, suddenly exploded, turning into dust that filled the sky... "Hoo..."

The Purple-Robed Man stepped onto the ground, feeling a dense Vitality wash over him. He immediately showed a look of pleasant surprise and waved toward Shen Nian.

"Sir, I..." The Purple-Robed Man's pupils suddenly contracted. A large hand clamped tightly over his mouth. The terrifying Late Stage Nascent Soul pressure instantly rendered him immobile. The breath of life began to gradually drain away. The Purple-Robed Man tried to struggle, but the large hand clamped his mouth shut like steel, and blood flowed freely.
