Chapter 27: Chapter 27
The book recorded the life and deeds of a generation’s Grandmaster of Formations, Damon Gale.
Five thousand years ago, within the Ancient dynasty of Lasting Sky, an absolute prodigy in the Dao of Formations named Damon Gale was born.
Damon came from a declining minor family. He started cultivating the Dao of Formations at five, and by nine his attainments in array formations were entirely unmatched.
At the mere age of eighteen, he became the number one Formation Master in the Ancient dynasty of Lasting Sky.
However, martial arts flourished in the Ancient dynasty of Lasting Sky, and there were not many true Formation Grandmasters. In pursuit of a higher realm in formations, the eighteen-year-old Damon left his homeland alone and headed to the overseas immortal mountains to seek the Dao.
After seeking the Dao overseas for merely ten years, he achieved great mastery in the Dao of Formations, becoming an undisputed Formation Master.
Following his great mastery, Damon resolutely returned to the Ancient State of Lasting Sky from overseas and established the Formation Sect.
At only twenty-eight years old, he became a founding patriarch.
Ten years later, a monster tide erupted in the Southern Ridge. Three thousand Great Demons led millions of monsters out of the Southern Ridge and into the Ancient dynasty of Lasting Sky. Among them, there was no shortage of Demon Lord-level Great Demons.
The Ancient dynasty of Lasting Sky’s martial arts flourished. There were hundreds of Mortal Supremes, and even two old ancestors who had half a foot in the Heaven and Earth Deity realm.
The national power was extremely prosperous, yet they still could not resist this violent monster tide.
Wherever the monster army passed, the commoners became their bloody food.
In just three days, the entire Ancient dynasty of Lasting Sky became a living purgatory. A full seventy percent of the population was lost, and for thousands of miles the land was barren and desolate.
Hearing that millions of monsters had plunged his homeland into misery, Damon broke out of his secluded cultivation.
During his ten years of seclusion, Damon had been continuously delving into formations. His cultivation in the Dao of Formations had increased day by day, long reaching an unfathomable level.
Looking at the scattered skeletons and thousands of miles of scorched earth, Damon finally flew into a thunderous rage.
For the first time before the eyes of the world, he unleashed the eternally stunning Heavenly Capital Divine Formation.
Using the Azure River as the formation eye, the Heavenly Capital Peak as the formation corner, and the Lasting Sky Capital as the formation tail, Damon incorporated the entire millions of miles of territory into the grand array.
He refined all the millions of monsters into blood essence.
But it was precisely because of this heaven-defying formation that Damon exhausted every ounce of his vitality. He died prematurely at the mere age of thirty-eight.
Although Damon died young, the True Interpretation of the Dao of Formations he left behind was undoubtedly one of the absolute greatest treasures for Array Masters.
[You have observed the life of Formation Saint Master Damon Gale. You were very earnest. God-Tier Comprehension has been activated.]
[Your Comprehension is God-Tier. You have comprehended the True Interpretation of the Dao of Formations.]
I actually comprehended the True Interpretation of the Dao of Formations! This is definitely a good thing!
Now was the Dharma-Ending Age. Ordinary cultivators had to expend tremendous blood, sweat, and tears just to advance a single step in martial arts.
The most fundamental reason was the thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Cecilia had now revealed peerless aptitude. Although her background might be somewhat complicated, Adam did not want to waste her talent.
However, Cecilia’s origins were highly likely a hidden danger, and he was currently only at the Grandmaster Realm.
Although he had comprehended a heaven-defying domain like the Time Domain, his combat strength was only at the Great Grandmaster level. He was simply no match for those famous figures on Silver Willow’s Great Grandmaster Ranking.
When Cecilia cultivated, the spiritual energy riot she caused was extremely shocking. If any Grandmaster-level existence passed by Vernal Manor, they could easily detect the anomaly inside.
But if he stopped Cecilia from cultivating, Adam felt unreconciled. Such a piece of unpolished jade was destined to roam unhindered across heaven and earth.
How could she, like him, be trapped in this tiny capital of Silver Willow?
However, after comprehending the True Interpretation of the Dao of Formations, things were completely different.
The True Interpretation recorded thousands of array formations. From the massive Heavenly Capital Divine Formation down to the small Spirit Gathering Treasure Formation, everything was included within.
Now that he had comprehended this true interpretation, he would be able to set up a Spirit Gathering Formation above Vernal Manor, drawing all the ambient spiritual energy in the void securely into the compound.
This way, Cecilia would not have to worry about being exposed anymore. She could completely lay low in Vernal Manor and cultivate in absolute peace.
Relying on Cecilia’s heaven-sent cultivation aptitude, in just a few short years she would likely become a cultivation titan.
Closing his eyes, Adam carefully comprehended the profound mysteries of the True Interpretation.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and sighed in admiration. "This True Interpretation of the Dao of Formations is truly worthy of being an undisputed treasure for thousands of years."
"Since its creation, the long-declined Dao of Formations experienced a brief resurgence. Rumor has it that at its absolute peak, it could even suppress the Dao of the Sword."
"It is a pity that the Dao of Formations has exceedingly high requirements for aptitude. Ordinary Heaven’s Chosen find it difficult to comprehend even a fraction of its mysteries, resulting in the Dao of Formations being unable to maintain lasting prosperity."
However, the potential of the Dao of Formations was not the slightest bit weaker than the Dao of the Sword.
If cultivated to the extreme, one could carve their own Dao Body into a heaven and earth grand array, achieving the Dao through an alternative path.
Having comprehended all the profound mysteries of the True Interpretation, Adam did not linger in Inkwood Academy.
After finishing his work, he immediately rushed back to Vernal Manor.
