Chapter 2183: Chapter 2183: Prison Immortal Array
"Third-grade! It’s actually third-grade!"
As the light on the Spirit Gathering Vessel dimmed, Ye Haochuan looked at the few Five Elements Crystal Stones in the bowl with a face full of surprise.
Third-grade Five Elements Crystal Stones, those are materials for a third-grade Formation! freewebnσvel.cѳm
One must know that the Entrapment Formation before him is only at the peak of second-grade. Although it sounds like there’s only a tiny difference between second and third-grade, the actual power is as vast as the sky and earth.
Even the second-grade Five Elements Crystal Stones are incredibly expensive and not easily obtainable.
Once they reach third-grade, they become a rare existence that can only be encountered by chance. Many Array Masters have tirelessly searched just to find third-grade Five Elements Crystal Stones to break through to the Great Master boundary, but ultimately, they end up with nothing.
If they knew Ye Haochuan could endlessly produce them here, they might just cry out of frustration in the bathroom.
Ye Haochuan suppressed his excitement and used the same method to create nearly thirty third-grade Five Elements Crystal Stones until the breath of the Spirit Gathering Vessel was extremely weak before he stopped.
From the thirty Five Elements Crystal Stones, he took out three and, combining them with other Formation Foundation materials, Ye Haochuan finally completed the entire Gathering Brilliance Formation. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Seeing that it was about time to set up the formation, Ye Haochuan held his breath, stayed focused, and trudged through the muddy environment with great difficulty.
This Entrapment Formation is meant to confine and doesn’t have any attacking capability, which is Ye Haochuan’s only solace.
If it weren’t an Entrapment Formation but a Killing Formation, he would’ve been dead already, leaving no time to comprehend formations.
Setting up the formation is the second biggest challenge of formations; it’s more challenging than creating the Formation Foundation. If even the tiniest detail in placement or slightest flaw in drawing the Array Patterns, the formation becomes full of weaknesses.
Fortunately, Ye Haochuan himself is a meticulous person with an incredible memory. After a brief period of memorization, he fully understood the direction of the Array Patterns, though he was somewhat unskilled and lacked fluency when drawing them.
Upon completing the first setup, the few Formation Foundations floated uneasily as if they were repelling magnets.
Ye Haochuan swiftly scanned with the Heavenly Eye to identify the problem and slowly made adjustments.
After approximately two hours, the Array Patterns of the Great Formation were like a patchwork coat, almost entirely redrawn by Ye Haochuan.
At last, the Great Formation was completed!
In the dim and chaotic surroundings, the thin Flower Energy drifting around was inadvertently drawn over and gathered with the formation, forming a thin layer of Flower Energy Spirit Mist.
"Judging by the speed of gathering Flower Energy, it should reach the mid-stage of second-grade, right?" Ye Haochuan was overjoyed, filled with a sense of pride.
It was his first time creating a second-grade formation, and he managed to craft one at the mid-stage level, surely astounding many.
This isn’t because Ye Haochuan is exceptionally brilliant, but because the materials are too good, using third-grade Five Elements Stones to create a second-grade formation—something only someone like Ye Haochuan, a "spendthrift," would do.
Completing the second-grade formation signifies that Ye Haochuan has stepped into the realm of an Array Master.
However, attempting to create a formation at the pinnacle of second-grade is beyond his current ability, as creating Formation Foundations and drawing Array Patterns both require one’s own strength as a foundation. With insufficient strength, forceful crafting only wastes one’s Flower Energy and precious materials.
Fortunately, although Ye Haochuan can’t rely on his formation skills to directly break formations, he has an advantage that other Array Mages do not possess—the Heavenly Eye.
With the help of the Heavenly Eye, Ye Haochuan can clearly identify the Formation Foundations and Array Patterns of the Entrapment Formation. With the insights of a Formation Great Master, Ye Haochuan finally doesn’t feel as dizzy when looking at those patterns.
Seeing the trajectory of the formation, Ye Haochuan quickly found this formation in the Hundred Arrays Collection.
"Prison Immortal Array! A mixture of Water and Earth dual spirits..."
This formation primarily uses Water and Earth elements of the Five Elements, arranged according to corresponding proportions and patterns. To break the formation, one can utilize the principle of mutual restraint in the Five Elements, disrupting the formation’s operation with Fire and Wood Formation Foundations.
No sooner said than done. Ye Haochuan quickly took out several third-grade Fire and Wood Crystal Stones and crafted them based on the foundation method of another Killing Formation.
Not long after, the Formation Foundation was successfully crafted.
Ye Haochuan placed the Fire Crystal Stone Foundation beside the Water Attribute Foundation of the Entrapment Formation, and the Wood Crystal Stone Foundation next to the Earth Attribute Foundation of the Entrapment Formation, then drew the Array Patterns, connecting all the Formation Foundations.
Boom~
As soon as the Array Patterns were drawn, Ye Haochuan was thrown by a chaotic surge, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, his face turning pale.
Breaking formations by disrupting the bases is like randomly adding other reagents to a chemical mixture—no one can predict the reaction of the fusion of the two reagents, so this method inherently carries significant risks.
In addition, it was Ye Haochuan’s first attempt, and lacking experience, it’s already a stroke of luck that he wasn’t blasted to pieces.
Ye Haochuan paid no heed to his injuries, but instead kept his eyes fixed on the Formation Foundation of the Entrapment Formation.
Crack~
Finally, after the chaotic aura of the formation clashed, a crack appeared on an Earth Attribute Formation Foundation first, which gradually expanded until it shattered.
Other Formation Foundations were also instantly damaged by the impact...
Outside that door, Xu Linglan had been anxiously waiting for several days, still unable to think of any solution, her beautiful eyes already covered in veins of blood.
"Are you still unwilling to give up? No matter how long you wait here, you can’t break this formation, so why waste time here?" The Soul Beast would occasionally issue a word of advice.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged Soul Body kept silent on the side, staring at the door just as intently as Xu Linglan.
His ring was in Ye Haochuan’s hand; it was the only thing he could leave his descendants. Accompanying Ye Haochuan to be buried here made him both angry and helpless.
"Looking at it this way, there’s really no way. Alright, I’ll go inside and take a look; maybe I can break the formation from within..." Xu Linglan suddenly muttered to herself, stood up, and walked towards the door.
The Soul Beast was instantly terrified and frantically exclaimed, "I beg you, don’t do anything foolish, going in means certain death!"
"If I don’t try, how can I be at peace?" Xu Linglan’s eyes were determined. She brushed the Soul Beast aside, placed Little Yishu on the ground, and then stepped forward, rushing towards the door like a shooting star.
At this moment, not even she knew why she was acting so recklessly.
All of this was merely because her heart told her she couldn’t leave Ye Haochuan behind no matter what, that she must save Ye Haochuan at all costs, to be at ease.
As for why this would bring peace, she didn’t know!
Xu Linglan moved at incredible speed and, in the blink of an eye, reached the door, stretching her hand to touch it.
Just at that moment, the door seemed to be struck by a great force, suddenly shattering into pieces.
