C1119 Everyone's Conjectures
The competition inside was not as intense as before, and upon entering the ninth bend, the cultivators from South Sea Sect disappeared, although the wooden tablets still had their names on them, but they did not show any signs of advancing, and at this moment, the cultivators of the Sea of Love Pavilion had already reached the tenth bend, so there was no need to talk about Wang Hai Sect, and even though the remaining few of them had already entered the nine corners of the formation, their main force was being pulled out by Zhong Ming.2
was no longer in the mood to pay attention to the competition, the outcome of the battle was already decided, and the only thing he could insist on was when Zhong Ming and the rest would come out, and even if Zhong Ming could hide, once the battle ended, it would be time for all of their participating cultivators to be teleported back here.
At this moment, the most nervous person was the sect master of the South Sea Sect. He knew that Dao Youzhi and Zhong Ming had already reached the tenth round, but a day had already passed and their names still had not been left behind in the tenth round. If that was the case, the competition would still be calculated using the stage with the name given to it, and now, even the people from the Wang Hai Sect had already entered the Nine Demons Formation.
He, who was originally in a good mood, was currently not much better off than Dieh Yong, because besides Zhong Ming, the rest of the cultivators in the South Sea Sect had only reached the eighth bend, and had not even touched the threshold of the ninth bend, how could he not be worried? Right now he was the same as Dieh Yong, Zhong Ming would definitely not let him off when he came out, it was definitely because Zhong Ming had purposely not left his name in the tenth bend.
If it was really as he had thought, then this Zhong Ming was simply taking revenge on him. She was completely unwilling to help him obtain a placing, and he would definitely kill Zhong Ming to vent his anger.
"..."
He was very clear about what was waiting for him at the very end, so he decided to focus on trying to understand all the arrays here. Although his level was already completely superior to the level of the arrays set up here, Zhong Ming did not dare to be careless, as he would lose everything easily.
Actually, it wasn't impossible for Zhong Ming to break through the array with his current level of skill, but to learn the essence of the array. In order to break through the threshold of the ninth stage, he had to make good preparations for the final stage, so he really did not dare to be careless and pass every stage of the array technique and continuously learn it. Although it took a lot of time, it allowed Zhong Ming to grow very quickly, and also allowed him to have a firmer foundation in the way of the array.
When Zhong Ming was researching the array, she had already meditated and cultivated, and did not dare to disturb Zhong Ming. She did not dare to move too far away from Zhong Ming, because with every step he took, Zhong Ming would have to bear a lot of pressure and consume a lot of mental energy. It was fortunate that Zhong Ming was a Pharmacist, and had a lot of medicinal pills to cultivate with, so even if it was anyone else, they would not be able to handle it.
One must know that no one could enter this place, not to mention that Zhong Ming's true level was still a mystery. Although Zhong Ming had said that he was a formation master for Sixth Grade, she did not believe him because he had already surpassed the level of a formation master for Sixth Grade. From the sixteen bends just now, it was clear that Zhong Ming's level was far beyond that, because this was a formation master for the eighth stage.
"Big Brother Zhong, Sixth Grade Formation Master is just a pretense. Are you a rank 9 Formation Master?" Although Zhong Ming had studied the arrays of the eighth stage for a long time, from the way he had deciphered it, it was basically not difficult at all. Furthermore, the fact that the arrays here were no longer damaged, so what did it mean that he had safely made it here?
Zhong Ming shook his head regretfully. He did not manage to break through the barrier in his heart and said, "Not at the moment, but my level is still stuck at the eighth step."
Even if Zhong Ming did not have the Ascendant level, but Zhong Ming was already a rank 8 array master at such a young age, this made Dao Youzhi shocked. Originally, he had not told his master the truth previously and had concealed his true level, but thinking about it, it was true, even if Zhong Ming had told her that he was a rank 8 Master of Formation, no one would believe him and thought that he was just bragging.
If she hadn't asked Zhong Ming about this, she would still be able to treat him calmly, but since Zhong Ming had admitted that he wasn't a Ninth Stage existence, it meant that they might not have passed the last stage. This meant that they would still be back at the entrance of Spirit Smoke Island, causing her heart to become flustered and her face to turn pale.
"Th, Big Brother Zhong. Will we …" Dao Youzhi's lips trembled, she did not dare to continue, she was truly too afraid.
"Why are you so afraid, since we are already here, we will have to take a gamble. Although I'm not completely sure about the rank 9 spell, but that doesn't mean I can't break through. If I can break through to the rank 9 spell, then we still have a chance of getting out." Zhong Ming said slowly. He knew very well what Dao Youzhi was afraid of, and since they still had time, there might be hope.
Dao Youzhi just looked at Zhong Ming in a daze. She was shocked by Zhong Ming's words, he was actually going to break through inside the array. No wonder, no wonder Zhong Ming was constantly analyzing the array, he was going to learn the essence here to help her level up?
Even if Zhong Ming was a genius, he would still need to digest it for a while, at the very least, it would take a few years. But this competition of array formations would not give you that much time, who could break through in just a few short days, is it not a joke?
"Big Brother Zhong, can you tell me how old you are? 60 years old, or 70 years old?" Dao Youzhi was hoping for nothing, but in the entire Cultivation World, there were no people who had reached the top nine stage in just a hundred years.
Zhong Ming was startled by the question, he did not understand why Dao Youzhi was asking this. He was not that old, he was not even thirty-five, why did he say that all of a sudden? Although he was only shaking his head with a bitter smile, he did not reveal his true age.
Since Zhong Ming had denied the age that she had just asked, it meant that he was between thirty to fifty years old. Even then, it was enough to shock Dao Youzhi. She took a deep breath to calm her heart, this Zhong Ming was actually a genius!
If Zhong Ming was only talented in the Dao of formations, and was able to reach his current level, it would mean that he had to spend all his time and effort on the formation, but Zhong Ming's cultivation was not low at such a young age, and his smithing skills were not low either, and he could not even be compared to the butler of their Artifact Treasure Pavilion. This made sense, no one was strong in every way, and every person's energy was limited, they had to sacrifice everything else, but Zhong Ming's power was outstanding, and it was something that no one of his age could surpass.
It had to be known that Zhong Ming's formation technique was already at the Grandmaster Realm, which was scary at such a young age. But what she didn't know was that Zhong Ming's pill refining skills were also very good, and could be counted on one hand in this cultivation world.
