Chapter 986: Chapter 962: Surprise
Indeed, that was the case.
Jiang Fengwu originally thought that after her breakthrough into the Void Refinement realm, her mastery over the Array Tao had significantly improved. She wasn’t expecting to unravel the Great Array in a short time, but at least sensing its presence should not have been a problem.
But reality delivered a hard blow to her!
For a full fifty years, Jiang Fengwu had stayed in this sea area, encountering high-rank members of the Sea Clan countless times, and falling into dangerous situations just as many times.
Yet she could not even sense the presence of the Formation, relying only on the initial impressions she had to grope painfully on the ocean floor.
And the reason Jiang Fengwu emerged from the sea floor this time was not that she had found the Formation, but because she had just gone through a fierce battle, was severely depleted and needed to recover on land.
Boom boom boom—
Just as she was preparing to leave, a huge rumbling erupted from the sea bottom, the water violently shaking, and even the calm sea surface began to churn with fierce waves.
"An underwater earthquake!"
Jiang Fengwu’s eyes lit up immediately, and she changed her plans, turning back to dive into the ocean depths.
But in this process, she had to contend with the force of nature. Even though Jiang Fengwu was a Lianxu Cultivator, she seemed insignificant in front of this tsunami. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Yet this was her only way to quickly locate the Formation. If she missed this tsunami, without further advancement in her Array Tao prowess, she wouldn’t be able to enter the relics in the Formation, and miss the opportunity that made Jiang Fengwu’s Spirit Sense surge.
Therefore, no matter how difficult, Jiang Fengwu must forge ahead!
"Heaven and Earth’s force is irresistible, so let’s follow its course!"
As an Array Master, what Jiang Fengwu excelled at was going with the flow, leveraging the power of Heaven and Earth through Formations to manifest extraordinary power.
Emptying her Spiritual Soul, sensing the tsunami’s fluctuations, she seemed to become a part of the water itself, merging in and flowing with the waves.
When near to the Formation, Jiang Fengwu transformed into a small fish, lightly leaping and departing from the raging waves below.
The Formation, which she had fruitlessly searched for over fifty years, finally showed its weakness in the face of natural disaster!
And unlike before, due to it being the tail end of the tsunami, a slight fluctuation was not all that appeared—instead, the entire Formation was laid bare before her eyes!
Upon seeing the Formation, Jiang Fengwu didn’t think about breaking it immediately, recognizing it as a Seventh Rank Formation!
Even though time and various natural disasters in the ocean had caused some damage and weakened it somewhat, it still wasn’t something she could unravel in a short period of time.
Thus, Jiang Fengwu released all her Divine Sense, trying to memorize every detail of the Formation while simultaneously activating all the Memory Stones she had to comprehensively record the Formation for future study.
About half an hour later, the tsunami completely subsided, and the Formation rapidly disappeared, becoming hidden from sight.
If it weren’t for her painfully swollen Spiritual Soul, and the records in the Memory Stones, the intricate and complex Array Patterns seemed just like an illusion.
"It’s time to head back!"
With clear Array Patterns in hand, Jiang Fengwu didn’t need to worry about delaying other clan members’ cultivation time; she could gather some close, trustworthy clanspeople to decipher the Formation and quickly enter the relic.
Although this relic had been in this sea area for many years and had not been deciphered until now, what if other cultivators or members of the Sea Clan had discovered clues before her and reached it first? Wouldn’t she lose this opportunity?
Therefore, Jiang Fengwu must race against time.
With a plan in mind, she left the disaster-stricken seafloor and flew towards Mount Wanxian as fast as she could.

Meanwhile, after Li Chengsheng’s recent breakthrough into the Void Refinement Realm, when he first studied the Sunstone, he found that he might be able to refine a strand of True Sun Fire!
If he succeeded in refining it, his path through the Void Refinement Realm would be smooth, directly reaching the Integration Realm.
With True Sun Fire, was there still a concern about Soul Sunification? Li Chengsheng only needed to control the power of the True Sun Fire well, giving him ample time to absorb Yang Qi, unlike other cultivators who could only absorb Initial Yang Qi.
Therefore, although originally planning to leave seclusion, he sent a message using a Sound Transmission Talisman to Li Chengshuo and others before re-entering seclusion, hoping to refine the True Sun Fire as soon as possible.
Although Li Chengsheng didn’t react much when Li Chengshuo surpassed him, rushing ahead to the breakthrough into the Void Refinement Realm, he did feel somewhat stifled.
After all, from childhood, his Cultivation was always higher, and he had always embraced the idea of protecting Li Chengshuo.
So now, seeing a shortcut to surpass Li Chengshuo, how could Li Chengsheng possibly give up?
Of course, before entering seclusion, he’d already asked his family to help collect Sixth-order Sun Spirit Objects to help elevate the bloodline grades of three Spirit Beasts.
Years later, Jiang Fengwu safely returned to Mount Wanxian.
And the first thing she did upon returning was call together Li Chengshuo and some of the Array Masters she had once instructed.
This was the first time Jiang Fengwu had done such a thing since entering the Li family, leaving those familiar with her quite surprised.
"Mother, what happened? Is it something serious?" Li Chengshuo was the first to arrive, his face full of worried inquiry.
Jiang Fengwu shook her head and said, "It’s a good thing, let’s announce it once everyone is here."
Soon, all the Array Masters who could come had arrived.
Seeing this, Jiang Fengwu deployed a Sound-Isolating Array, and seeing her solemnity, everyone became more serious, waiting in an earnest atmosphere for her to speak.
