Chapter 2391: The Great Inheritance Formation!

"Lord Wenshui, we've been in Tianyin World for five years now and haven't even seen the Chief Instructor. That's hardly reasonable, is it?" Shang Heng said with a blunt expression.

Before him stood an old man with a long beard.

To be honest, he too was puzzled by Ye Yuan's seclusion.

Lord Xuanji had invited this Chief Instructor—surely he wouldn't just use 'Godslayer's' resources for his own cultivation?

"Well... the Lord is in seclusion, and I'm not at liberty to disturb him."

Wenshui Heavenly Emperor had been sent to serve as Ye Yuan's attendant. Though he was a Celestial powerhouse, he was still subordinate to Ye Yuan's status.

After all, Ye Yuan was second only to one and above all others.

Shang Heng sneered, "Ha, he sure has it easy as Chief Instructor, using 'Godslayer's' resources to cultivate every day while doing nothing himself. Lord Wenshui, if he doesn't come out today, we're not leaving! To hell with overthrowing the divine race's rule—we're done serving!"

At this moment, Shang Heng was nothing but a hot-headed youth, far from the imposing figure he would become in later times.

Wenshui sympathized with them; he too felt Ye Yuan was going too far.

But Ye Yuan had ordered that no one was to disturb him, leaving Wenshui in a dilemma.

Wenshui sighed, "Alas, to be honest, I don't know why the higher-ups appointed him Chief Instructor. But since it's an order, I must carry it out! You must not cause a commotion!"

"Oh, Chief Instructor!" Shang Heng's eyes lit up as he looked toward Wentian Palace.

Wenshui was startled and involuntarily turned his head.

A glint of cunning flashed in Shang Heng's eyes, and his body drifted toward Wentian Palace.

Wenshui exclaimed in alarm, "You little rascal, trying to get past me? Not a chance!"

He reacted swiftly, but just as he made his move, he suddenly sensed something amiss.

The space-time around him was distorted to varying degrees.

Though it couldn't stop him, that brief moment was enough for Shang Heng to slip inside.

Wenshui was shocked, realizing that this young man had actually comprehended both space and time laws!

But as he marveled, Shang Heng retreated even faster.

He landed heavily, stumbling back dozens of steps before barely steadying himself.

Shang Heng's face was pale, his eyes filled with shock.

Sp... Space-time laws!

Shang Heng never imagined that someone else had mastered space-time laws!

And in terms of intensity, he couldn't even compare!

A figure slowly emerged, as if stepping out of a mist; no one could see clearly.

Though the person stood right before them, they couldn't make out his face!

Unfathomable!

That was the thought in every prodigy's mind at that moment.

"What is your name?" the newcomer asked calmly.

Shang Heng's expression was grim, but he replied, "Shang... Shang Heng."

A smile flickered across Ye Yuan's face. He hadn't expected that traveling through time would bring him to the youth of the Space-Time Grand Ancestor.

But on second thought, he understood.

Space-Time Reversal was Shang Heng's heaven-defying technique, and since he had triggered it in the future, the time travel was likely related to Shang Heng.

At this moment, Shang Heng was still young and naive, far from the world-dominating figure of later times.

Even if it was just a remnant of consciousness, that aura of supremacy remained undiminished.

"You've comprehended both space and time laws—very impressive!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Shang Heng looked ashamed and said reluctantly, "Are you mocking me, Lord? My meager skills are nothing compared to yours."

Ye Yuan chuckled, "You may be inferior to me now, but you will surely achieve greatness in the future! Even the progenitor of the divine race—what's there to fear in fighting him?"

Shang Heng's heart swelled with longing, but then he smiled bitterly, "You overestimate me, Lord. These two laws are too profound; I'm already finding it difficult."

Ye Yuan didn't pursue the topic but asked, "So, why did you force your way into Wentian Palace?"

At this, Shang Heng perked up.

But recalling Ye Yuan's strength, he deflated like a punctured ball.

They had originally come to challenge Ye Yuan, but he hadn't even made a move—just a slight manipulation of the laws had sent him back involuntarily.

Such means were truly beyond belief.

If Ye Yuan wanted to kill him, it would be but a thought.

"Lord, as Chief Instructor, you've never shown yourself in five years. That's bound to dishearten the prodigies of all races!" Shang Heng insisted.

Ye Yuan laughed, "Only five years—can't you wait that long? You're too impatient!"

Shang Heng sneered, "Who knows what you're thinking, Lord? If we hadn't forced our way in, would you have emerged in ten or a hundred years? Lord Xuanji invited you to be Chief Instructor not so you could cultivate alone, but to nurture human powerhouses! No matter how strong you are alone, how can you contend with the divine race's great abilities?"

Ye Yuan fell silent.

He could feel Shang Heng's desire to grow stronger—an obsession that seemed ready to burst forth.

The same was true for the others before him.

It was this powerful yearning that had made them so formidable, perhaps.

Seeing Ye Yuan's expression, Shang Heng thought he was admitting fault and sneered, "Nothing to say? You don't deserve to be Chief Instructor! You're a parasite of 'Godslayer'!"

That was harsh.

Ye Yuan glanced at him and smiled, "Is that so? Follow me."

With that, he turned and flew toward Wentian Palace.

The others were puzzled but followed.

"What trick is he up to?"

"Shang Heng, you're doomed! You spoke so harshly—he's definitely going to make things hard for you!"

"Hmph! What do I have to fear? I spoke the truth!"

They whispered among themselves as they followed.

But once inside Wentian Palace, everyone was stunned.

"Wh... what are these?"

Shang Heng stared at the sight before him, completely dumbfounded.

Before them was an incredibly complex array of formations.

These formations were interlinked, layer upon layer, profoundly intricate.

At a glance, it looked like a dreamlike ocean, magnificent and resplendent!

With their limited insight, they couldn't fathom the reality before them.

Even Wenshui Heavenly Emperor was stunned.

So this was what the Lord had been working on for five years?

Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, smiling, "You want to grow stronger, don't you? These formations can help you grow stronger! I've been thinking about how to pass on the laws I've comprehended to you most effectively. Simply lecturing you every day is clearly not a good method. Some things can only be sensed, not explained. Now, I've infused all my life's learning into these formations. As long as your talent is sufficient, you will naturally comprehend them."

Shang Heng's mouth fell open, staring at Ye Yuan in shock. He wanted to say something, but his throat felt blocked, and the words wouldn't come.
