95: Chapter 95 Ancient Formation

On the other side.

After leaving the Zhao family estate, Li Youming went directly to the Ye family.

As for Li Youming's arrival, all the core members of the Ye family came out to meet him, which could be described as offering a very high level of hospitality.

Although Li Youming was very polite in his attitude toward them and frankly stated that he was a subordinate of Ye Tian, this did not prevent the Ye family from attaching great importance to him!

As Ye Tian's family, they naturally had learned about the strength of the Divine Martial Guard from him.

The Ye family members did not know what Li Youming's cultivation level was, but there was one thing they were very clear about.

That was that Li Youming's strength was definitely something they could not afford to offend!

Although he was very polite to the Ye family because of Ye Tian, they knew in their hearts that Ye Tian was Ye Tian, and the Ye family was the Ye family; the two could not be mentioned in the same breath!

If they relied on their relationship with Ye Tian and dared to show disrespect to a powerhouse above the Celestial Realm, then the Ye family would definitely not have a good outcome.

Anyone with a brain would not do such a thing!

Of course, Li Youming did not stay at the Ye family for long. After informing them about the shop matters, he hurried back to the Divine Martial Guard to report to Ye Tian.

Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Palace, Wang Chen slowly emerged from deep Cultivation.

As his eyes opened and closed, phantoms of stars being born and dying, and the Reincarnation of all things, flashed by in an instant.

He gently exhaled a breath of turbid Qi; the breath did not disperse, and it even faintly showed signs of a Dragon and Tiger converging, only slowly dissipating after a moment.

Ever since his Physique was transformed into the Imperial Dao Sacred Body by the System, his talent had reached its peak.

For Wang Chen, Cultivation was no longer a boring and tedious chore, but had become an unparalleled enjoyment.

The feeling of power within his body growing every moment, his comprehension of the Laws of Heaven and Earth deepening, and the sensation of constantly approaching the Origin of the Universe was truly intoxicating.

If it were not for the fact that he was the master of the Imperial Dynasty and had various affairs to decide, he would have loved to be immersed in Cultivation at all times.

Just a moment ago, he clearly sensed that the last ripple of the Power of Imperial Fortune generated by the Fusion with the Tianlan World had completely subsided.

This meant that the newly incorporated territories and population had initially stabilized, the overall Luck of the Imperial Dynasty had completed a consolidation and leap, and its Foundation had become more solid.

"It is time to take another step forward."

Wang Chen's gaze was deep as he looked at the Void Realm outside the palace.

Although the information previously reported by Ye Tian regarding the "Star Remains Hall" and the "Black Fiend Realm" did not cause him fear, it brought a faint sense of urgency.

This Star Domain was not as simple as he had originally imagined; beyond its edges, there were even broader and more powerful worlds.

If the Tianxuan Dynasty wanted to truly stand tall and even face potential challenges from the center of the Star Domain in the future, it had to seize every moment to strengthen itself at a faster speed.

"The target for the next conquest..."

Wang Chen already had several candidate Small World coordinates in mind; these worlds were similar to the Tianlan World and were not considered strong.

Just as he was preparing to issue the decree to open cross-world conquest again... the familiar, mechanical notification sound of the System rang out in his mind without warning.

[Ding... Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a Sign-in opportunity. Does the Host wish to Sign-in?]

Wang Chen was slightly stunned, then realized.

Recently, he had been immersed in Cultivation and had not noticed the passage of time; he did not expect that a month had already passed.

For him now, time seemed to pass exceptionally fast.

"System, Sign-in!"

Wang Chen silently chanted in his heart, and he could not help but feel a sense of anticipation!

One must know that every item obtained from the System's Sign-in was often just right, either solving an urgent need or filling a shortcoming of the Imperial Dynasty.

[Ding... Starting Sign-in... Sign-in successful! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the character — Master Guzhen!]

Master Guzhen?

Wang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

The characters obtained from previous Sign-ins, such as Ge Nie, Ji Gang, or the Embroidered Uniform Guard, had names that could more or less be traced back to shadows in his memories from his previous life.

But this name, "Master Guzhen," was completely unheard of!

"System, introduce the detailed information of Master Guzhen."

[Ding... Replying to the Host, Master Guzhen's profile is being generated...]

[Master Guzhen: A peerless Genius from the "Formation World," possessing an unprecedented Comprehension Ability in the Dao of Formation.]

[Cultivation: Cave Heaven Realm (has successfully opened seven Cave Heavens)]

[Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Array Ancient Scripture (a top-tier Formation Legacy Cultivation Technique that can reach the Domain Realm)]

[Weapon: Boundary Formation Plate (a supreme treasure containing the Origin power of world Formations)]

[Loyalty: 100% (Absolutely loyal)]

After reading the information provided by the System, even with Wang Chen's current state of mind, he could not help but flash a look of surprise in his eyes.

Cave Heaven Realm! And a powerhouse who had already opened seven Cave Heavens!

This Cultivation level was even two small tiers higher than he, the Host, was!

The key point was that this person was a Genius specializing in Formations! He came from a world where Formations were the core!

The "Heavenly Array Ancient Scripture" he mastered was a top-tier Cultivation Technique that could directly reach the Domain Realm, and that "Boundary Formation Plate" sounded like an incredible Formation treasure.

"Formation World... Genius..."

Many thoughts instantly flashed through Wang Chen's mind.

Previously, after annexing the Tianlan World, he obtained the Alchemy Legacy, which made up for the Imperial Dynasty's shortcomings in Medicinal Pill refining, and established the "Temple of Alchemy Gods" based on it.

Now, did this Master Guzhen obtained from the Sign-in not solve the Imperial Dynasty's scarcity in the field of Formations?

Alchemy and Formations were now covered; now the Imperial Dynasty was only missing something for Artifact Refining!

The "consideration" of this System once again exceeded Wang Chen's expectations.

Just as he was feeling emotional, "Hum—" The Void Realm in front of him rippled without warning, and then a deep space rift silently cracked open.

Immediately after, a slightly thin young figure, dressed in a simple green robe, stepped out of the rift.

This person looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with an ordinary face, but his eyes were clear and bright, as if they could reflect the most original trajectories of the Laws between Heaven and Earth.

The Qi around his body was rounded and natural, faintly resonating with the surrounding space; if one had not seen him with their own eyes, they would hardly be able to feel his existence.

He stood still, and his gaze fell on Wang Chen immediately.

In those clear eyes, an indescribable reverence, fanaticism, and absolute loyalty instantly erupted.

Without the slightest hesitation, he bowed deeply to Wang Chen with the most standard and respectful courtesy of a subject.

"Subject, Master Guzhen, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Wang Chen looked at this Formation Genius before him, who had deep Cultivation yet was so respectful to him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Rise."

Wang Chen's voice carried the majesty of an emperor and a hint of gentleness.

"Master Guzhen, I intend to establish the — Heavenly Array Hall! You shall serve as the first Hall Master of the Heavenly Array Hall, directly responsible to me!"

Master Guzhen stood up as instructed, standing with his hands hanging down, his posture extremely respectful as he said.

"To be able to serve Your Majesty is the greatest fortune of Master Guzhen's life! The Dao of Formation is willing to be Your Majesty's sword to expand the territory for the Imperial Dynasty, and willing to be Your Majesty's shield to protect the Imperial Dynasty for eternal peace!"

Wang Chen nodded slightly.

With the addition of Master Guzhen, not only did the Imperial Dynasty add another great general to its high-end combat power, but more importantly, the establishment and improvement of the Formation System would generate immeasurable and huge benefits for the Imperial Dynasty's future conquests of other worlds...
