Chapter 979: 983: Breaking Through the Formation!

Chapter 979: Chapter 983: Breaking Through the Formation!

As the conversation unfolded, the gathered young men and women couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Just think, if the Heavenly Mansion Chief were to retreat in defeat before the Bamboo Sea Sword Array, where would the Chief’s dignity go?

Today, a genius Martial Artist from the Ye Family is challenging the formation.

If the Ye Family’s genius Martial Artist passes through the formation while the Heavenly Mansion Chief retreats in defeat,

then after today, the prestige of the Heavenly Mansion Chief will surely diminish!

At this thought, Ye Yuan and Ye Min sneered contemptuously.

“Everyone, let’s not rush to conclusions just yet.”

Ye Xuan sighed helplessly. This group of family members had been thoroughly swayed by Ye Yuan’s manipulation.

Xia Liu, having achieved the position of Heavenly Mansion Chief at such a young age, had even slain a Path-Entering High-Level Martial Artist.

Yet as soon as they met him, they belittled him—weren’t they afraid of being slapped in the face by the truth?

This was, without a doubt, a matter of character and upbringing.

What a pity. Although most of the Ye Family were good people,

one bad apple could spoil the whole bunch. While Xia Liu outwardly remained composed, he would definitely keep this in mind, ridiculing the ignorance of the younger generation in the Ye Family.

It couldn’t be helped; even Ye Xuan harbored similar thoughts in her heart.

Today’s younger generation truly seemed hopelessly ignorant.

“Elder Ye Xuan, the Heavenly Mansion Chief is your friend. Do you know what level his cultivation has reached?”

One of the younger ones asked curiously.

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

Because before initiating the Bamboo Sea Sword Array, there would be a cultivation testing session.

However, the Testing Stele seemed to be designed specifically for Martial Artists. Ye Xuan wasn’t sure whether it would work for Cultivators.

She had tried it herself once, in the middle of the night, but she didn’t understand what the results indicated back then.

“Oh… I see…”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s response, the younger generation wasn’t too disappointed, because there would be a test before entering the Bamboo Sea Sword Array.

Thus, everyone present would know each other’s capabilities.

“Since Chief Xia has already arrived, let’s begin.”

Ye Yuan, sensing that the time was ripe, infused his voice with Inner Strength, letting it resonate in all directions.

“Xia Liu will be fine, won’t he?”

Ye Xuan turned and asked with some concern.

Xia Liu shook his head dismissively, smiling lightly. “It’s just a small Bamboo Sea Sword Array; how strong could it possibly be?”

Not long ago, he had killed a Flame Sea Dragon within the Heaven and Earth Gang Wind Formation.

A formation capable of trapping and subduing a Flame Sea Dragon was hardly comparable to the Bamboo Sea Sword Array.

“Don’t underestimate it. The first three attacks of the Bamboo Sea Sword Array test endurance, while the latter three are extremely intricate and unpredictable. Be cautious,” Ye Xuan advised with trepidation.

She couldn’t help but recall her own experience challenging the formation. Just the memory made her heart race.

Fortunately, she had been young at the time, and her cultivation wasn’t very advanced. Otherwise, had the formation shown its full force, it would have been a disaster.

Still, for all its intensity, the formation wasn’t lethal—otherwise, she wouldn’t have lived to meet Ye Wuya…

“Elder Ye Yuan, will Ye Min go first, or will Chief Xia take the lead?”

“Chief Xia has come from afar, and this is his first time seeing the Bamboo Sea Sword Array. Let my son go first, so Chief Xia can get familiar with the rules of the formation.”

In truth, Ye Yuan wanted Xia Liu to go first.

Since Xia Liu had never entered the formation, he wouldn’t understand its intricacies.

However, Ye Min had a certain shortcoming. If someone else went first—whether they succeeded or failed—he would feel pressured.

Under pressure, he wouldn’t be able to perform at his best.

So, Ye Min had to go first.

“Thank you so much, Elder Ye Yuan.”

Xia Liu smiled knowingly, cupped his hands in respect, and laughed warmly.

“Haha, you’re too kind, Chief Xia.”

But behind the laughter lay a trace of chilling intent. Xia Liu, today my son will make his name in the Warrior Realm using you—don’t blame me…

“Haha! It’s starting!”

“Exciting! It’s been ages since a strong contender challenged the Sword Array in our clan!”

“Ye Min’s cultivation had already reached the Heaven Rank two years ago. I wonder if he’s made any progress since then.”

“Probably not. Over the last two years, he’s attempted the Sword Array twice, which could have affected his advancement.”

“That makes sense. But if he passes this time, it won’t be long before he advances to Heaven Rank Mid-Level, or even High-Level.”

…

Amid the lively discussions, Ye Min walked toward a slightly elevated War Platform ahead.

He was dressed immaculately in white, with a finely crafted longsword strapped to his back—clearly prepared for the challenge.

Under the watchful gazes of the crowd, Ye Min ascended the elevated War Platform.

A stele stood tall upon the platform.

Different from the Monument of Names, this stele was black and white—half black, half white.

Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate its surface to examine its interior.

At first glance, Xia Liu was intrigued by the profound craftsmanship of this stele.

But only slightly so. Every piece of material used to test cultivation was mysterious and enigmatic—hardly a surprise.

If Divine Sense could penetrate it, it wouldn’t be considered valuable.

“Huff!”

Ye Min took a deep breath, calming his mind.

Over the past two years, he had failed here twice.

Each failure left residual Energy in his body, which took over half a year to fully recover from.

This time, he intended to reclaim everything he had lost—and gain even more resources to surpass his past achievements!

“Hah!”

With a guttural shout, and as the crowd held their breath, Ye Min struck his palm onto the Testing Stele.

Buzz… buzz… buzz…

The stele shuddered violently, releasing sharp sounds that echoed in every direction.

Before long, the black-and-white hues of the Testing Stele began to shift.

A faint azure color started to appear.

Eventually, it reached a pale green hue.

“Pale green indicates the Heaven Rank Early Level!”

“Looks like I was right—Ye Min has been stagnant this past year.”

“Being stagnant isn’t a big deal. As long as he passes the Bamboo Sea Sword Array, he’ll earn astonishing resources and advance to Heaven Rank High Level—it’ll just be a matter of time.”

“So envious! If only I had Earth-Rank Cultivation, I’d definitely give it a try!”

“Shush! Pay attention!”

…

As the crowd quieted slightly, Ye Min leaped forward, landing near the edge of the bamboo grove with a few agile movements.

Before him stretched an endless sea of bamboo.

The sheer number of bamboo stalks made it so that when the Qingfeng blew, the entire grove swayed.

The swaying wasn’t pronounced, but the sheer number of stalks moving together created a scene as majestic as waves on the ocean—hence the name “Bamboo Sea.”

The first challenge of the Bamboo Sea Sword Array: A Thousand Blades Unleashed!

Standing atop the leveled bamboo stumps, Ye Min waved both hands, unleashing a torrent of Inner Strength that surged forth from his meridians.

“Min’er, be careful!”

Recognizing the impending danger, Ye Yuan called out gravely.

“Hah!”

With another ferocious shout, Ye Min’s Inner Strength burst out in a dazzling display, forming a Gang Circle around him.

Just as the Gang Circle solidified, suddenly, from within the Bamboo Sea, a series of sharp sounds erupted without warning.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

At the sound, Xia Liu immediately sent out his Divine Sense. However, it was obstructed by a cloud of black mist, no matter how hard he tried to penetrate it into the Bamboo Sea.

This was different from when they first arrived. After the Bamboo Sea Sword Array was activated, the atmosphere had turned inexplicably eerie…
