Chapter 1238: Stand Back, I'll Handle This!

"Big brother, which way should we go this time?"

Seeing Ye Yuan emerge from his contemplation of the formation, Bai Guang couldn't help but go up and ask.

And at this moment, three days had already passed since they entered this second space!

For this second step, Ye Yuan had actually taken three times as long as the first step.

In fact, in Bai Guang and Yue Mengli's view, the scenery before them was exactly the same as the first step, with no difference at all.

Yet precisely because of this, comprehending the formation was even more difficult.

"The middle!"

Having said that, Ye Yuan unhesitatingly walked in from the middle path.

Bai Guang and Yue Mengli dared not be negligent and followed closely behind.

For the third space, Ye Yuan took six days to fully comprehend it.

But for the fourth space, Ye Yuan took a full half month!

Bai Guang dared not disturb Ye Yuan's enlightenment and couldn't help whispering to Li'er, "My god, at this rate, by the time we get out, the demon race will have unified the Divine Realm long ago!"

In fact, Li'er was also worried, but she didn't show it like Bai Guang did.

Now a month had passed, and they hadn't even walked out of the fourth space.

This speed was hardly faster than a turtle's.

If this continued, as Bai Guang said, even if they got out, it would be too late.

But she also knew that the array principles contained in this divine-level grand formation were too complex and chaotic. To fully comprehend them was not easy.

From the first space, one could see that countless traps were hidden within this grand formation.

Ye Yuan needed to carefully discern them to ensure the safety of the next step.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened them and walked toward a cluster of peach blossoms.

For the fifth space, Yue Mengli and the others thought Ye Yuan would need more time to determine the next move.

But they didn't expect that Ye Yuan only took an hour before acting.

"Yuan ge, what's going on? Could it be... you've already cracked the formation?" Yue Mengli asked in surprise.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Cracking the formation is no easy feat, but passing through this peach blossom forest should be no problem!"

Over this past month of enlightenment, Ye Yuan's attainments in array formations had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Divine array formations were obscure and difficult; if it were someone else here, they probably couldn't even get started.

But Ye Yuan's level in array formations had long been on the threshold of the divine way.

The ninth layer of Lu Linfeng's "Nine Notes on Array Formations" was true divine array formations!

Thus, when Ye Yuan and Lu Linfeng had their array battle that day, when Lu Linfeng was about to use the ninth layer, Ye Yuan voluntarily conceded.

This time, Li'er almost being killed by the grand formation thoroughly stimulated Ye Yuan, maximizing his potential.

In this month, Ye Yuan devoted himself to contemplation and finally took the last step, comprehending the array laws of the divine way.

Although extremely shallow, for Ye Yuan, it opened up a brand new world.

As a result, Ye Yuan's speed in cracking this peach blossom formation became countless times faster than before.

Ten days later, the three felt a blur before their eyes, and the scene before them finally changed for the first time.

For over a month, all they had seen was peach blossoms.

No matter how beautiful the scenery, aesthetic fatigue had set in.

Moreover, though peach blossoms are beautiful, they harbor deadly danger.

Especially Bai Guang—he was so sick of looking at peach blossoms that he almost threw up.

"This damned peach blossom forest—I never want to come in again! From now on, whenever I see a peach blossom forest, I'll burn it down!" Bai Guang said gloomily.

Over the past month, he had nearly gone mad.

Because the scenery in every space was exactly the same.

No matter which space he went to, the three paths were always before him.

The one who set up this formation was simply a pervert.

"Eh, what place is this? So beautiful—it's like a paradise!" Yue Mengli suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Ugh!"

Bai Guang finally couldn't hold it in and vomited heavily.

Ye Yuan and Li'er exchanged glances and couldn't help laughing.

Logically, a strong cultivator like Bai Guang should never throw up, but the psychological impact of the past month had been too great.

Bai Guang rolled his eyes and said irritably, "You're still laughing! I warn you, never say the word 'peach blossom' in front of me again... Ugh!"

After the commotion, the three finally surveyed the area before them.

It truly looked like a paradise—beautiful mountains and clear waters, with pleasant scenery.

Most importantly, the primal energy here was abundant, no less than the super sacred grounds of the Divine Realm.

"Brother Yuan, this doesn't seem like the Godfall Mountains! Could it be that we've returned to the Divine Realm?" Li'er asked curiously.

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like it. I feel that this is another independent space, just like the Soul Refining Sect space, separate from the Divine Realm."

"Could this be the ruins of some divine sect? Judging by the look of it, it's not an evil sect, so there shouldn't be any danger, right?" Bai Guang finally stopped vomiting and chimed in.

"Not necessarily. The more beautiful a place, the more dangerous it might be. Haven't you learned that over the past month?" Ye Yuan said.

Bai Guang's expression changed, and his earlier optimism vanished instantly.

Indeed, was there any place in the Godfall Mountains that wasn't dangerous?

"Big brother, maybe we should go back!" Bai Guang said.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If we could go back, why would I have spent over a month breaking the formation? This formation is one-way; it's already a miracle that we got out. To go back, we'd need the formation setter's personal guidance."

"Then... what do we do?" Bai Guang said gloomily.

"Since we're here, let's take it as it comes. Since we've entered, why not go in and take a look? Maybe we'll find some unexpected gains," Ye Yuan said.

The group proceeded cautiously, wandering among the mountains and waters, but encountered no danger, which slightly eased their minds.

After crossing a mountain peak, to their surprise, they vaguely saw a few figures coming into view.

"Big brother, there are people! They look like... demons! Strange, why are there demons here?" Bai Guang said in confusion.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan was equally astonished.

In the distance, several demons were sparring with each other, fighting fiercely.

This independent space actually had demons living in it!

Those people apparently also noticed Ye Yuan and the others on the mountaintop, and with a flicker, they rushed over.

Ye Yuan and the others were about to greet them, but unexpectedly, the demons' expressions changed, and they shouted harshly, "Humans! How can there be humans here? Kill!"

Without any explanation, they directly attacked.

Bai Guang and Li'er were about to strike back, but Ye Yuan stopped them.

"Let them attack. Since we don't know the situation here, it's better not to fight. You two step back. I'll handle this," Ye Yuan said calmly.
