This feeling was exceedingly unpleasant. While the brain had already dictated the optimal strike for the right hand to execute, the right hand seemed to harbor its own thoughts, as if responding to the brain with a defiant "I refuse!" Before the enemy could be subdued, the brain and hands were on the verge of an internal skirmish. Liang Yi really did not want to experience this feeling a second time—it was far too frustrating. Moreover, this was one of the mysteries of the Star Sea Sword Formation. It was the constant changes generated between the Star Sea and the bright moon that made Liang Yi wryly smile. Those swords, transformed into twinkling starlight, appeared one after another before Liang Yi, and he could scatter them with a backhand strike. But when countless Sword Intents came together to form the Sword Array, even Liang Yi had to take a defensive stance and swing his sword to barely protect himself, let alone launch an offensive. Su Youyi stood there, already holding an innate position that ensured her invincibility, and without even moving a finger, she exhausted Liang Yi to the point of weariness by relying solely on the endless Sword Arrays. Among all, the mightiest Sword Array was centered upon the bright moon and utilized millions of starlights as the patterns of the Array Dao, activating together with the entire night sky—the Star Sea Sword Formation. But even Su Youyi wasn't certain how powerful the fully activated formation would be. Without Chen Hua overseeing it, Su Youyi truly dared not rashly use it against her senior brother. Despite Liang Yi intentionally not resisting to test his junior sister's skills, it also genuinely reflected the formidable nature of the Sword Array. "How high of a realm's cultivator can your Sword Array suppress?" Liang Yi sat up and looked towards his junior sister. As strong as the Sword Array was, if it could only suppress cultivators of the Seventh Realm, its utility would not be so pronounced. "It doesn't concern the realm but depends on the depth of understanding of one's own Dao." Contrary to his expectations, Su Youyi shook her head solemnly and spoke. "The more profound a cultivator's comprehension of their own Dao, the less they are suppressed by the Sword Array. Conversely, the more shallow their mastery of their own Dao, the greater the suppression will be. In the worst case, they may step into the formation and be unable to utilize their Dao at all." "Is it actually indifferent to the realm? So you're saying it could even suppress cultivators of the Ninth Realm?" Liang Yi's eyes widened slightly, realizing that this Array was truly formidable. "In theory, it's possible, but cultivators of the Ninth Realm all possess deep understanding of their Dao. At least against a master like ours, I definitely cannot suppress," Su Youyi tilted her head in thought, and even added at the end, "At least not until I reach the Ninth Realm!" Liang Yi leaned to the side and gently flicked Su Youyi's forehead. "Look at you, just mastering the Sword Array and you're already thinking of trying it on our master? I'm definitely going to snitch when we get back!" Liang Yi chuckled mischievously. "Don't, please don't, our master is so stingy, if he hears this he will definitely want to test the Sword Array immediately, and I don't want to watch the Star Sea get broken by master's sword before it can shine its glory." Su Youyi playfully stuck out her tongue and coquettishly shook Liang Yi's arm. "Hm? Look at this traitor, speaking of your master behind his back!" Just then, a clear and bright voice resounded from the Heavenly Vault, and the surrounding space began to lose color like a painting immersed in water. After the ice crystals in the courtyard shattered, the figures of Liang Yi and Su Youyi re-emerged within the courtyard. Chen Hua and Zhou Ruanxian, both smiling, looked towards Su Youyi who covered her face and dared not look at them as she hid behind Liang Yi. The White Tiger, excited to see Liang Yi appear, happily pounced on him and clung to him tightly. Wan Tinggui curiously observed the two from behind Chen Hua, wondering if this was the usual interaction between Banished Immortal, Liang Yi, and Su Youyi. Chen Hua was well-known and unparalleled on the battlefield, and his appearance represented invincibility. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥 No matter who came from the Abyss or how many, as long as the ever serene Chen Hua was present, the military morale would never falter. Zhou Ruanxian had also become a notorious figure on the battlefield recently, showing no mercy when taking lives. Every Abyss Cultivator that fell by her hand was turned into an eternal ice sculpture. Yet, these two formidable figures showed such tender affection off the battlefield, a contrast that left Wan Tinggui somewhat astonished. Wan Tinggui, watching what appeared to be not just a master and apprentice but a family of four, felt a hint of envy rise in their eyes and heart. Liang Yi couldn't help but show a relaxed smile as he watched Su Youyi, who was hiding behind him like an ostrich. Su Youyi peeked out quietly, gazing resentfully at Zhou Ruanxian. Being the master of this space, Zhou Ruanxian naturally had a complete understanding of everything happening within it. Due to the coincidence of the mentor's arrival at that statement, it must have been intentional on the part of the mentor's wife. Pretending not to see Su Youyi's look, Zhou Ruanxian still stood by Chen Hua's side with a smile, exuding an aura of virtue and genteelness. "Made a trip to the frontline and happened to meet this young friend, so I brought her along with me." Naturally, Chen Hua wouldn't eagerly spar with his disciple in front of strangers. Wouldn't that just reinforce the reputation of being "petty"? But once outsiders left, that might no longer be the case··· "Some unforeseen events occurred suddenly, which caused such a long delay, I hope both of you can overlook this inconvenience." Wan Tinggui bowed apologetically to Liang Yi and Su Youyi. "It's fine, this was a good opportunity for my junior sister and I to organize the insights from our previous seclusion." Liang Yi waved his hand smilingly, indicating that he didn't mind. "Alright then, you young people go ahead and chat, your mentor's wife and I have things to attend to." Chen Hua chuckled and nodded to Liang Yi before turning around with Zhou Ruanxian and disappearing out of sight. "Please, have a seat." After respectfully seeing Chen Hua and the mentor's wife off, Liang Yi then warmly invited Wan Tinggui to sit. With Chen Hua and Zhou Ruanxian gone, Su Youyi finally returned to normal and excitedly took out tea-making utensils to brew tea for everyone. "Forget it, I'll do it." Liang Yi dared not let Wan Tinggui drink the tea brewed by his junior sister lest Wan Tinggui might suspect his junior sister of poisoning the tea. Junior sister's complete lack of cooking talent meant she was even more horrifying when it came to the art of tea-making. Knowing her senior brother liked tea, she took the initiative to practice, but unfortunately, any tea touched by Su Youyi underwent unreasonable, bizarre changes. Wan Tinggui, however, quite enjoyed this atmosphere, watching the master and junior sister amusingly bicker and banter. "How is the modified Devouring Spirit Scripture by Master?" While making tea, Liang Yi took the initiative to ask. He had already practiced this Cultivation Technique, and junior sister was currently starting on it as well, but he was curious about Wan Tinggui's situation. "The transition in my cultivation has been very smooth." Hearing Liang Yi mention the Devouring Spirit Scripture, Wan Tinggui's face showed a look of admiration. After receiving the modified Devouring Spirit Scripture from Chen Hua, Wan Tinggui and the sect members started practicing it immediately after confirming there were no issues. They had thought changing their Cultivation Technique might impact their cultivation, but to their surprise, there was no effect at all—they transitioned seamlessly! Now, without the restrictions of the old Devouring Spirit Scripture, Wan Tinggui and others were moving freely and could also take advantage of the battlefield to swiftly enhance their cultivation. "That's good to hear. May I ask what the esteemed fellow Wan plans to do next?" Hearing Wan Tinggui's generous praise for the new version of the Devouring Spirit Scripture, Liang Yi felt a bit proud. Handing over the steaming cups of freshly brewed tea to his junior sister and Wan Tinggui, Liang Yi then sat down, looking at Wan Tinggui, and asked. Wan Tinggui didn't rush to respond, instead savoring a sip of the tea personally brewed by Liang Yi before slowly speaking: "We have now decided to become the 'Shadow' lurking within the battlefield and the Abyss, aiding the Mystical Mechanism forces in defeating the Abyss in any way we can." "Shadows? Indeed, an apt description···" Liang Yi nodded thoughtfully. The term "in any way we can" was rather vague, but Liang Yi didn't inquire further about the specifics, instead shifting the conversation to another topic. "Have you considered recruiting Abnormal People to join as members of the Shadows?"
