Chapter 386: Chapter 386 Formation Sect

"Heaven has a path you did not take, and hell has no gate yet you break through it. Since you’re so eager to deliver yourself to death at the Array Formation Sect, don’t blame me for not being polite."

Zhao Zhongtian stood at a corner on the warship, his face icy cold with a look of murderous intent as he stared at Lin Chen in the distance.

If it had been Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division going to the Array Formation Sect to participate in the competition, Zhao might have felt some trepidation and not dared to do anything to Lin Chen at the conference, after all, the cultivation of the Second Soul Division was at the Heaven-reaching Realm level, and its combat power was formidable.

However, Lin Chen had left his Second Soul Division behind in Divine Sun City to serve as its protector, while he himself had set off for the Array Formation Sect, providing Zhao Zhongtian with a perfect opportunity for revenge.

With his strength, Zhao was confident that he could get through to the final round of the Array Formation Sect’s recruitment competition. Although he was a bit older, it did not affect the selection process.

With his cultivation, Zhao could still blend in as a disciple in the Array Formation Sect, it was just that due to his age, he would not receive key training.

However, Zhao did not care about that because his goal was to kill Lin Chen openly and fairly during the competition at the conference.

Yet, what Zhao Zhongtian did not know was that all his plans were probably going to fail.

On the surface, Lin Chen’s main body appeared to have a lower level of cultivation compared to the Second Soul Division, but this did not mean that Lin Chen’s main body was weaker in strength than the Second Soul Division.

Lin Chen’s main body possessed the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron and had cultivated the Primordial Transformation Art. Additionally, within his Soul Sea, he even had the Immortal Sacred Artifact, the Dragon Fang Dagger. It could be said that the means and cards up his sleeve far surpassed those of the Second Soul Division, and if he used these trump cards, his combat power would definitely not be inferior to the Second Soul Division.

Therefore, Lin Chen dared to participate in the Array Formation Sect’s recruitment competition because he had his own calculations.

With these life-saving trump cards, even when facing warriors of the Heavenly Human Realm, Lin Chen had means to escape and even a chance to fight back.

So how could he possibly fear a Zhao Zhongtian? Additionally, the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron had a master-servant relationship with Lin Chen. Should a critical moment arise, it would undoubtedly act to protect him, and then Zhao Zhongtian would be the one to suffer.

One month later, the warship finally arrived at the Array Formation Sect.

There was less than a month left until the start of the Array Formation Sect’s recruitment competition.

Looking up from the warship, the scenery of Array Formation Sect was stunning; in terms of both the richness of spiritual energy and the vastness of the mountains, it far exceeded the Jade Cauldron Sect.

Unlike the Jade Cauldron Sect, within the Array Formation Sect, all the peaks were protected by great formations and restrictions, for this was the home of the Way of Formation. Disciples were seen everywhere focusing on condensing and setting up formations.

Besides the main peak, disciples from the other peaks could roam at will.

Atop the main peak, it wasn’t the disciples of the Array Formation Sect who resided there, but rather the various Peak Masters and Elders.

Above the main peak, numerous formations were set up, along with countless restrictions, serving as an object of regular observation for the disciples.

This main peak, whether for Outer Sect Disciples or Inner Sect Disciples, was forbidden to enter, yet it could be studied from the outside.

When Lin Chen arrived on the warship, he took a special interest in observing and noted that the Way of Formation of the main peak indeed had some merits.

Compared to ordinary formations, it was much more intricate, but if compared to the Myriad Transformation Cauldron within Lin Chen’s Soul Sea, it fell somewhat short.

If Lin Chen were to personally guide the Array Formation Sect, the sect’s heritage could increase significantly; even those old ancestors in seclusion would probably come out to seek guidance from him.

However, this was just a possibility. If Lin Chen really revealed the secrets of the formations within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, he might end up being controlled by those old folk, studied like an object.

At that moment, after the warship passed the main peak and various other peaks, taking a roundabout look, it stopped at a corner of the Array Formation Sect designed for grounding flying boats.

Lin Chen observed the situation in the Array Formation Sect and noted that there were more than thirty peaks, with over a dozen in the inner circle. The disciples coming in and out of these peaks were almost all at the Heaven-reaching Realm Level, and many had reached the Reverting Void Realm, likely all being True Disciples. The inner circle of over a dozen peaks housed martial artists of similar cultivation, all Earth Melding Realm martial artists, along with a few at the Heaven-reaching Realm.

Meanwhile, the warriors on the outermost part had the lowest level of cultivation, many at the Spirit Gathering Realm, and even some at the Body Tempering Realm, were obviously Outer Sect Disciples and menial disciples.

It seemed that every sect had this sort of hierarchical system.

Only by becoming an elite can one traverse further on the Martial Path.

Thus, True Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples are often older, but there’s no lack of young prodigies who at a young age become True Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples.

And these are the talents that a sect would focus on nurturing. Lin Chen’s participation in the recruitment competition was an attempt to become such a talent.

After the warship stopped, Lin Chen was somewhat shocked at heart because he had witnessed what truly constituted a large sect.

No wonder the Array Formation Sect could become a super-large sect in the Eastern Domain; just the power of the Outer Sect Disciples alone was enough to completely flatten the Jade Cauldron Sect.

One can imagine how formidable the force of the Divine Flame Alliance would be.

After disembarking from the warship, Chu Zisa led Lin Chen to another force within the Array Formation Sect, the War Department.

The so-called War Department was where the robust fighting strength of the Array Formation Sect lay.

Only Inner Sect Disciples and True Disciples were eligible to join the War Department, subject to its regulation, but they also received several times the treatment of other disciples.

Although the War Department had regulations, those were internal rules; as far as the Array Formation Sect was concerned, anyone who joined and achieved combat merit could obtain power and status.

Similarly, power and status were also linked to strength; generally, those who had a position in the War Department would not have low cultivation.

Therefore, the War Department was the quickest way to enhance one’s strength—members of the War Department didn’t even have to follow commands from some of the Elders and Peak Masters of the Array Formation Sect.

Hence, the Array Formation Sect essentially operated under two governance systems, with the War Department taking precedence.

Once Chu Zisa brought Lin Chen to the War Department, many people came out to meet them, wanting to know what kind of person Chu Zisa had brought back.
