Chapter 778 - 356: The Array Dao Shocks Everyone, A True Genius

Li Chang’an smiled, his tone modest.

As for his own cultivation, he planned to reveal his Middle Stage Golden Core Cultivation in about fifty years.

Of course, he could also remain at the Early Stage of Golden Core until he reached the Nascent Soul realm.

While the group conversed, the Little Cyan Dragon changed its position multiple times and used various techniques, but it could never shake their pursuit.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Ahead of the group, another underground ruin appeared.

It was an ancient city from a forgotten era, exuding an aura of decay.

"Everyone, be careful. That ancient city is full of arrays."

As a Quasi-Tier Four Array Master, Yan Hao’s expression was grave. He had detected traces of numerous arrays.

However, the Little Cyan Dragon’s aura was also within the ancient city.

The group had no choice but to enter cautiously, narrowly avoiding one array after another as they continued tracking the Little Cyan Dragon.

Finally, the Little Cyan Dragon was completely out of options.

It let out a furious roar, its voice tinged with madness.

"You human fools! Even if I die, I won’t let you get your hands on my materials!"

Screeching, it rushed toward the very center of the ancient city.

At the very center of the ancient city was a Tier Four Grand Array!

"Oh no! Quick, stop it!"

Yan Hao shouted anxiously.

With his level of Array Dao Skill, he couldn’t possibly break a Tier Four Array.

Furthermore, the Array was mostly intact. Even if Chi Qingxuan and the others used their Tier Four trump cards, their chances of breaking it were slim.

Unfortunately, they were too far away.

All they could do was watch helplessly as the Little Cyan Dragon Mechanism Beast slammed headfirst into the Tier Four Array.

Immediately after, terrifying Tier Four Power bombarded the Little Cyan Dragon relentlessly.

It let out a string of miserable wails. After just a few seconds, it exploded within the Array, turning into a pile of broken components.

Only then did the group arrive before the Tier Four Array.

"This Grand Array is most likely a one-way entrance; there’s no way out."

Yan Hao’s brow furrowed as he made his rough assessment.

Upon hearing this, Chi Qingwu summoned a Tier Three Puppet and sent it into the Array.

The power of the Tier Four Grand Array instantly struck.

"Retreat!"

Chi Qingwu tried to make the Puppet retreat.

However, just as Yan Hao had predicted, the Puppet could no longer exit.

In the blink of an eye, the Puppet shattered into a pile of parts before their very eyes.

"What are we supposed to do now?"

The Little Cyan Dragon’s resolve had been far greater than they had anticipated.

It would rather die in the Array than let them get its materials.

Now, the two Celestial Cyan Dragon Eye Stones lay in the center of the Array, glittering brightly.

"If we want to get those two gems, we have to break this Array."

"Daoist Yan, do you have a solution?"

Yu Tao and the others all turned to look at Yan Hao.

Yan Hao wore a helpless expression.

"You all think too highly of me. It might seem like only one word separates ’Quasi-Tier Four’ from ’Tier Four,’ but in reality, the difference is as vast as the sky and the earth. I’m completely powerless here."

"In that case, I’ll try using a Tier Four Talisman."

Zhuo Wanshuang was unwilling to give up.

She took out a Talisman and bombarded the Array with Tier Four Talisman Power.

After several consecutive strikes, the Grand Array remained completely still, perfectly unharmed!

"Damn it!"

Zhuo Wanshuang gritted her teeth, her heart filled with frustration.

’To have come all this way, only to have the Treasure right before my eyes and be unable to get it...’

’It looks like I’ll have to find my father, the Cyan Dragon True Monarch, and have him invite a Tier Four Array Grandmaster for me.’

Just then, Chi Qingxuan remembered the Tier Four Array Dao inheritance she had given to Li Chang’an.

"Daoist Li, have your array skills broken through to Tier Four?"

She didn’t have high hopes; she was just asking casually.

Just as Yan Hao had said, a great chasm separated Quasi-Tier Four from Tier Four. Many people could never make the breakthrough, even with a proper inheritance.

It had only been a few short years, so she didn’t really expect Li Chang’an to have made the breakthrough.

But she soon received an answer that stunned her.

Li Chang’an nodded slightly. "I’ll give it a try."

With that, he stepped forward from the group. With a casual wave of his hand, he erased several hidden Tier Four Array Patterns.

Instantly, the entire Array ceased to function.

Seeing this, Yan Hao’s eyes instantly widened.

He swallowed hard, his voice trembling. "Daoist Li, you... you’ve already completed the journey from Quasi-Tier Four to Tier Four?"

"Not entirely."

Li Chang’an smiled, his tone relaxed.

"I can only break arrays; I haven’t personally set up a true Tier Four Array yet."

With that, his figure flickered, and he entered the Grand Array. He raised a hand and plucked the Array Core from where it was hidden in the void.

It was an Array Element Stone!

This Array Element Stone was the size of a human head, far larger than the one from the Mo Family Treasure Vault.

’Got the core Treasure of a Tier Four Grand Array. That went smoothly enough.’

Li Chang’an smiled as he tossed it into his Storage Pouch.

Next, he became a blur of afterimages, continuously collecting the numerous Array Treasures.

Throughout this process, Yan Hao, Yu Tao, and the others could only watch, dumbfounded.

The Tier Four Grand Array that had left them completely helpless was as fragile as a sheet of paper before Li Chang’an.

Zhuo Wanshuang murmured in disbelief, "Father once told me that only a true genius could execute a Tier Four Skill while still at the Golden Core Cultivation realm."

Such geniuses were exceedingly rare.

Many who possessed Tier Four Skills were already Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

After reaching the Nascent Soul realm, they were already among the top figures in the entire Cultivation Realm. Their cultivation progress would slow to a crawl, and with little hope of reaching the Divinity Transformation realm, they would often divert their attention to studying the Hundred Skills of Cultivation Immortality.

"I never thought Daoist Li would be such a genius."

Zhuo Wanshuang stared blankly at Li Chang’an’s flickering figure, her heart in turmoil.

A few moments later, the Tier Four Grand Array had vanished completely.

Li Chang’an had collected all the Array Treasures.

As for the materials from the Little Cyan Dragon Mechanism Beast, he left them where they lay, not touching a single one.

He smiled broadly at the group and said, "Everyone, it’s time to divide the Treasures."

Only then did the others snap out of their shock.

Suddenly, with a THUD, Yan Hao fell to his knees, sliding across the ground until he was right in front of Li Chang’an.

"Grandmaster Li, please take me as your disciple!"
