Chapter 105: The Gap! The Formation! The Miscalculation!

Chapter 105: The Gap! The Formation! The Miscalculation!

In a stone hall atop a mountain peak.

While Su Changqing was cultivating, Wu Jiuling was also secretly learning.

He, too, was cultivating the Heaven-Earth Divine Body. Although he couldn't condense a Companion Dao Weapon, he could still learn the two divine techniques of the Sky-Cleaving Axe.

However, after observing the Dao Diagram for a long time with his Near-Emperor divine sense, he found it extremely obscure and difficult to understand.

While he could withstand the intense sharpness, he couldn't decipher the profound and complex Dao patterns.

In contrast, every time Su Changqing swung the axe, his progress was clearly visible.

The Dao patterns on the axe blade swirled, and the trajectory of his swings gradually became perfect.

"Is the gap really that big?"

Watching Su Changqing chop wood, Wu Jiuling fell silent.

Su Changqing couldn't directly look at the Dao Diagram for long; he could only glance at it and then wait for a long time before continuing to observe.

Even so, his progress far surpassed Wu Jiuling's.

Such formidable insight made Wu Jiuling realize for the first time the true weight of being the top-ranked genius.

"If I can't learn the Dao Diagram, then I'll learn how Changqing chops wood!"

"I don't believe I can't learn it!"

Wu Jiuling condensed a large axe with his blood qi, observing the Dao Diagram while imitating Su Changqing's wood-chopping technique.

Although it made him blush to secretly learn from his disciple, this was the ultimate legacy of the Martial Ancestor!

Even as a half-crippled person, he couldn't resist trying to comprehend it.

...

Before they knew it, a day had passed.

After chopping an untold number of logs, Su Changqing's eyes seemed to overflow with enlightenment.

Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged and took out a bottle of essence blood, swallowing it down.

Boom!

The surging, thick blood qi made Su Changqing's face flush red. He immersed himself in his mind, entering the Chaotic World.

Su Changqing extended his right hand, and the thick handle of the Sky-Cleaving Axe slowly condensed. Then the broad axe head and the sharp blade appeared.

In the blink of an eye, the Sky-Cleaving Axe, filled with the beauty of ultimate power, fully materialized.

Su Changqing took a deep breath, looked at the chaotic world before him, and gripped the Sky-Cleaving Axe with both hands.

"Sky-Cleaving!"

Su Changqing held the axe with both hands, twisting his body to bring all his strength into the swing, and fiercely chopped upward from below.

The axe head traced a profound trajectory through the chaos, and the great Dao runes on the blade emitted a faint light.

Boom!

The boundless, almost tangible axe light split the heavens, and a large amount of clear qi rose, making the 'sky' visibly rise.

Su Changqing's face suddenly turned pale; the entire bottle of essence blood had been consumed by that single chop.

However, even so, his face was filled with joy.

Just that one chop contained more power than a hundred of his regular chops!

The heavens now rose to a height of a hundred feet, and a large amount of chaotic essence integrated into the world.

Su Changqing could clearly feel that his physical body and internal blood qi had increased significantly.

"Even with just a superficial understanding of Sky-Cleaving, it's this powerful."

"If I fully comprehend both 'Sky-Cleaving' and 'Earth-Cleaving,' won't two chops be enough to achieve the minor completion of the Divine Body?"

Excitement spread across Su Changqing's face, and he immediately exited the Chaotic World.

This time, he would thoroughly understand Sky-Cleaving and Earth-Cleaving, and then directly split the heavens to achieve the minor completion of the Divine Body!

"This stone axe feels lighter."

Su Changqing picked up the stone axe and immediately felt the change in his body.

Just a moment ago, he needed both hands to lift the stone axe, but now he could easily lift the thousand-pound stone axe with one hand.

"It's too early to unseal it now; I'll wait a few more days."

Su Changqing calmed his mind, looked at the Sky-Cleaving Axe Dao Diagram, and continued his cultivation.

Meanwhile, Wu Jiuling, who was observing in secret, was even more confused.

"In the blink of an eye, I can't even understand how he's chopping wood?"

...

At the mountain peak.

"Master, what is Su Changqing cultivating? I can't understand it at all."

Old Sun gazed at the Dao Diagram hanging in front of Su Changqing, puzzled.

To him, the Dao Diagram of the Sky-Cleaving Axe was just like an ordinary painting.

"Tch, he's just using chopping wood to train his Divine Body."

Wu Yong glanced at it and then lost interest. "My cheap teacher is just a perfected king; what kind of powerful Divine Body can he teach?"

"Once my Primordial Circulation Divine Body reaches perfection, I'll find a better one for Changqing."

Though they were cheap masters and disciples, Wu Yong found him quite compatible.

A Divine Body foundation technique was nothing to him.

"Old Sun, I've chosen a place. Keep an eye on my cheap teacher, and don't let him discover you."

Wu Yong came to a secluded spot on the mountain peak and spoke seriously.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will discover us."

Old Sun sat idly on a large rock, speaking casually.

Wu Yong took a deep breath upon hearing this, and with a wave of his sleeve, a misty glow spread across the ground.

Inside the glow were various materials: spirit stones, mystic iron, jade crystals, array discs, and more, a complex mix of spiritual materials.

Wu Yong casually picked up a piece of mystic iron, and the misty glow around his fingertips began to etch intricate patterns onto it.

In the blink of an eye, he tossed the mystic iron aside and picked up another piece.

Seeing Wu Yong's speed in etching array bases, Old Sun sighed helplessly.

A natural genius in array arts, yet he chose to walk the path of darkness.

"Chaos Primordial Body... It's no wonder he’s so strange."

Old Sun pursed his lips, keeping a close eye on Wu Jiuling's movements.

What he didn't know was that the slight spiritual fluctuations caused by Wu Yong's actions had already been detected by two massive divine senses covering the area.

"Array arts? What is this little fatty up to?"

Wu Jiuling raised an eyebrow, muttering to himself.

"Etching arrays... Young Master's junior isn't simple at all."

Fubai, who was recuperating, glanced over thoughtfully.

...

Old Sun, with his Saint Realm divine sense, failed to notice that a Great Saint and a Near-Emperor had already swept through the area several times.

He remained confident, always keeping an eye on Wu Jiuling's movements.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Wu Yong's eyes were bloodshot, and he was hunched over, etching something on the ground.

Looking around, the area within hundreds of feet was covered with intricate, mysterious patterns.

As he put the final touch, Wu Yong clapped his hands joyfully and stood up.

"Done!"

With a wave of his sleeve, the pre-etched array bases were arranged in a special order on the ground.

"Form!"

Wu Yong made a hand seal, and the array patterns on the ground glowed faintly as the array bases sank into the earth.

In a moment, the patterns within the area of hundreds of feet changed dramatically.

The six main peaks, various resource towers, and the entire layout of Little Immortal Sect were now clearly visible within the array.

"Hehe, with my 'Sub-array' complete, influencing the main array beneath Little Immortal Sect will be a piece of cake."

Wu Yong nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Old Sun and asked, "The elders didn't notice, right?"

"Don't worry, everything is under control." Old Sun puffed out his chest confidently.

"Next, it's time to reap the rewards!"

Wu Yong licked his lips excitedly and stepped into the array.

A red resource tower within the array flashed, and Wu Yong vanished from the spot.

"Ah, my young master is truly a genius."

Old Sun sighed in admiration.

But just as he finished speaking,

"Spit! Damn!"

In the blink of an eye, Wu Yong was spat out of the array, spitting blood and flying backward.

"Huh?"

Old Sun was stunned and quickly helped Wu Yong up. "Young Master, did you mess up the array? Did you not lower the difficulty of the checkpoint?"

"I lowered it by fifty percent."

Wu Yong said with a mix of sorrow and anger. "But I can't even pass the checkpoint with the difficulty reduced by fifty percent!"

Old Sun almost burst out laughing.

At this moment, Wu Yong had no resources, and his flesh and bones were far from being able to etch array patterns.

Apart from a faint aura of blood and qi, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary mortal.

Even with the checkpoint difficulty reduced by fifty percent, it was still beyond his capabilities.

Wu Yong had planned everything out but miscalculated his own strength.

His face darkened, and he said resentfully,

"The plan needs to change. I need to find a strong partner."

Old Sun hesitated and said, "If you want the best, it has to be your senior brother."

Wu Yong's eyes brightened, but when he saw Su Changqing still chopping wood like an ordinary mortal, his lips twitched.

"No, I need to trick another one into this."

With that, Wu Yong immediately turned and walked down the mountain.

...

Not long after Wu Yong left the mountain,

Su Changqing, who had been chopping wood for three days, suddenly stopped.

At this moment, the sharpness in his body and the clarity in his eyes had reached a peak!

"Opening the heavens, parting the earth, it's all clear now."

Su Changqing sat cross-legged on the ground, took out the remaining three bottles of monster essence, and muttered,

"Today, I will achieve a minor breakthrough in my divine body!"
