45: Chapter 44 Depicting the Spirit Array 45 -44 Depicting the Spirit Array “Very well, let the contest begin.” The Qi family young man saw Ye Xuan agree without hesitation and immediately laughed. The disciples within the Spirit Array Palace, seeing Ye Xuan’s agreement, all shook their heads secretly, chuckling to themselves. Brother Qi Ling was the most outstanding figure among the younger generation of the Spirit Array Palace, his future achievements might even surpass those of Master Zhou Lian. Just Ye Xuan, wanting to compete with Brother Qi Ling in spirit arrays? “Others need to repair the Sect Protection Array; we should go to the side hall to avoid disturbing them,” said Feng Hongwu. “There’s no need for that, Uncle Master Feng. The competition for the Dust Removal Array will take at most the time of a cup of tea; it won’t cause any inconvenience,” Qi Ling hastily replied. He intended to make Ye Xuan embarrass himself in front of everyone. If they went to the side hall, wouldn’t the effect be lost? Feng Hongwu thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, “Then let’s have the competition right here.” “Ye Xuan, are you sure you can do this?” Zhou Youwei whispered to Ye Xuan, quite worried. After all, she had never heard of Ye Xuan setting up spirit arrays before. “A man cannot say he is unable,” Ye Xuan said with a smile. Zhou Youwei blinked, somewhat baffled. Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh silently; his wife was good in every way but she was a bit too naive. Seeing this scene, Qi Ling’s expression darkened, and he thought to himself, ‘Just a worthless good-for-nothing, daring to flirt with the Holy Daughter. Soon I’ll make you unable to raise your head!’ “Is everyone ready?” Feng Hongwu looked at Qi Ling, then at Ye Xuan, and asked. “Everything is ready,” said Qi Ling with a serious expression. Ye Xuan said indifferently, “It’s just a Dust Removal Array; what preparation is needed?” Hearing this, Feng Hongwu snorted inwardly, growing even more dissatisfied with Ye Xuan. Such an attitude was indeed befitting of a good-for-nothing! “Then let us begin,” Feng Hongwu announced. As soon as Feng Hongwu spoke, Qi Ling immediately took out a Spiritual Pattern Pen, spread out a piece of demon beast skin meant for the array map, and began to draw. For a Spirit Array Master, the most important thing is to inscribe spiritual patterns, activating the great formation, sketching out the Dao of heaven and earth, forming the Spirit Array Diagram. Therefore, both the Spiritual Pattern Pen and the demon beast skin used for the array map are very important. The higher the grade of the Spiritual Pattern Pen, the more powerful the spiritual patterns it can inscribe. And the demon beast skin, serving as the array map, is a medium for carrying power. The higher its grade, the stronger the great formation it can carry! Qi Ling held the Spiritual Pattern Pen, quickly drawing on the demon beast skin with a very serious look. In the blink of an eye, he outlined several spiritual patterns on the demon beast skin, emitting a faint aura of spiritual energy. “Good!” Seeing this, Feng Hongwu inwardly praised. What Spirit Array Masters value most is stability and lack of haste. One must be focused and undistracted when inscribing the spiritual patterns; only then can the best spiritual patterns be created. The posture that Qi Ling exhibited while inscribing spiritual patterns was perfect. Be it the way he held the pen or the speed of his strokes, he maintained a balance between urgency and composure, already displaying the manner of a master. “I believe it won’t be long before this lad, Qi Ling, steps into the ranks of Fifth Rank Spirit Array Masters,” Feng Hongwu thought with a sense of admiration. At this level, competing against Ye Xuan, victory could be said to be easily within reach. With this thought in mind, Feng Hongwu turned his gaze to Ye Xuan. However, upon seeing Ye Xuan, he was stunned. “What is he doing?” Feng Hongwu was somewhat baffled. Ye Xuan was squatting on the ground, without a Spiritual Pattern Pen or demon beast skin. He was drawing something on the ground with his fingers. “This?!” Feng Hongwu was initially stunned, then his expression darkened. This young man clearly didn’t understand what being a Spirit Array Master entailed! It wasn’t just Feng Hongwu; even Zhou Youwei nearby was utterly astonished at Ye Xuan’s action, puzzled by his behavior. Inside the Spirit Array Palace, many disciples were secretly observing the competition, and they too noticed Ye Xuan’s actions, all a bit bewildered. What is this young man doing?! Drawing a map? At that moment, Ye Xuan earnestly drew with his fingers on the ground. His movements were so fast that his fingertips swept across the cool ground. In the blink of an eye, an invisible Spirit Array Diagram had formed. Ye Xuan withdrew his right hand, stood up, and looked at the place his fingers had just traced, saying with satisfaction, “It’s done.” “Done? Done?!” The disciples inside the Spirit Array Palace were all somewhat dazed, and were almost on the verge of laughing outright. So, you just dance around on the ground for a bit and that’s it? Since when was operating a Spirit Array this easy? You don’t have a Spiritual Pattern Pen or Demon Beast Skin, and you’re good? Good my ass! Feng Hongwu’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “Just wait, Qi Ling isn’t finished yet.” He couldn’t be bothered to even glance at Ye Xuan. So embarrassing! It was a complete insult to Spirit Array Masters! “What did you draw?” Zhou Youwei asked, a black line across her forehead as she looked at Ye Xuan. “The Dust Removal Array, Third Rank,” Ye Xuan replied with a grin. Zhou Youwei twitched her lips, her hand on her forehead, not knowing what to say. Although she wasn’t a Spirit Array Master herself, as a child she often came to the Spirit Array Palace and soaked up a good deal of knowledge. In her view, Ye Xuan was completely bragging… Ye Xuan continued on his own, “Actually, the peak of the Dust Removal Array is called the Dust Array. Once it’s set up, it can use the power of dust to kill the mighty.” The Dust Array, a particle of dust, could kill the mighty. Back in the day, Ye Xuan had used this array to trap and kill many strong opponents. However, to everyone else, Ye Xuan’s words seemed like utter nonsense, sheer gibberish! “I’ve been a Spirit Array Master for many years, and I’ve never heard of any Dust Array. Son-in-law is truly knowledgeable and broad-minded,” Feng Hongwu said with sarcasm he could not hold back. Ye Xuan smiled faintly, not minding Feng Hongwu’s mockery, and spoke slowly, “The Dust Array is nothing, the real powerful ones are the Sky Emperor Array, Exterminating Immortal Sword Array, Chaos Great Mill Array, and such.” “Hehe,” Feng Hongwu laughed, not saying much else. He was afraid he couldn’t resist the urge to kick to death this man spouting nonsense. “In the future, I will set up various top-tier arrays at the Emperor Immortal Sect. Then, you all can observe and learn something,” Ye Xuan said earnestly. That almost caused Feng Hongwu to explode in anger, do you puff up while you breathe too? “Ye Xuan, perhaps you should talk less…” Zhou Youwei pulled Ye Xuan back. Ye Xuan retracted his mind and looked at the Array Map of Qi Ling, shaking his head slowly and said, “Hesitant and slow, not to mention not being able to control the power of the Spiritual Patterns, this Dust Removal Array might not even reach Second Rank.” “Aren’t you talking too much? Can’t you see what you have drawn? You have the audacity to criticize Qi Ling?” Feng Hongwu finally couldn’t hold back and directly mocked him. Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, unwilling to say more. They were just a bunch of ignorant people. Seeing that Ye Xuan didn’t speak any further, Feng Hongwu finally suppressed the rage in his heart. As for the other Spirit Array Palace disciples, they were too disinterested to pay attention, focusing instead on repairing the Sect Protection Array. Just the rambling of a fool, truly nothing worth noting. Since the Spirit Array Palace existed independently and did not involve itself in other affairs of the Sect, they were unaware of Ye Xuan’s current status at the Emperor Immortal Sect. If they had known, they probably wouldn’t think this way. Soon, a tea-time passed. Qi Ling successfully completed the drawing of the Dust Removal Array. Qi Ling retracted the Spiritual Pattern Pen and, looking at the Array Map, revealed a hint of satisfaction, “Though there are flaws, it has still reached the level of a First Rank Spirit Array.” “Uncle Feng, I have finished,” he said.

Seeing Ye Xuan standing there, with nothing visible, he was slightly taken aback, then frowned and said, “You didn’t draw anything, did you?” Ye Xuan lifted his eyelids, annoyed, and said, “Your eyes are so big, how come they’re blind? Isn’t it right here?” Saying so, Ye Xuan pointed to the ground in front of him. Qi Ling looked there, saw nothing, and his expression immediately turned cold, “Are you playing with me?” “Don’t forget what we wagered on before the contest!” “Rest assured, I remember. You have to admit that you’re less than a useless loser,” Ye Xuan said with a slight smile. “I declare, Qi Ling wins this contest,” Feng Hongwu announced at that moment. An utterly unsurprising contest. Looking at Ye Xuan, Feng Hongwu said indifferently, “Son-in-law, you lost. Better leave this place quickly and remember your wager with Qi Ling, and don’t come to my Spirit Array Palace again.” Qi Ling too laughed, saying, “Don’t forget, you have to admit you’re a complete loser!” Zhou Youwei’s expression looked somewhat unpleasant, but with the facts before her, there wasn’t much she could argue for Ye Xuan. “Wait a minute,” Ye Xuan squinted at Feng Hongwu and calmly said, “You declared his victory without even looking at my Dust Removal Array, isn’t that a bit against the rules?”
