In Ling Xian's mind, an array that looked like a galaxy appeared. The crisscrossing carvings were like the eyes of the array, indicating that this array was extremely difficult to solve.
What could they do? The Imperishable Temple was a mysterious place that had existed for countless years. During this time, countless array masters tried to solve the secret of this array. However, the result was the same.
They returned empty-handed.
They couldn't even shake it one bit.
From this, it became obvious how difficult it was to solve this array. Other than the legendary grandmasters, everyone else could only sigh and stare at it.
Right now, Ling Xian was planning on challenging this impossible task and acquiring all the treasures in this place. One has to admit that he was thinking too much. But nothing is absolute in this world. If he doesn't even dare to try, then how can he succeed?
"Guess boldly, but verify carefully."
Mumbling, Ling Xian created the main array in his mind based on the child arrays he broke. Then, he concentrated and searched for the weakness of the central array.
This was destined to be a long process. Because the array was far too complicated, it was as vast as the galaxy and endless.
If this was any other array master, the moment they saw it, they would feel helpless and give up on this plan. However, Ling Xian, who had a determined mentality, naturally wouldn't give up so easily.
On top of that, he was a very patient person. On top of that, he was highly knowledgeable in arrays. Naturally, he had the guts to face this array head-on.
Even putting aside his attainments in array formations, with his tenacity, once he made up his mind, he would not rest until he reached his goal!
Therefore, Ling Xian concentrated and ignored the headache this complicated array was giving him. He decisively began to break the array.
Though he was merely building the silhouette of the array in his mind, it was as if it was real and he could do whatever he wanted. If worst comes to worst, he could just start all over again.
Just like that, time passed by little by little. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
During this time, Ling Xian didn't rest at all. He maintained his closed eyes and focused on solving the array in his mind. He already had some ideas. On top of that, he didn't rest at all. Finally, he took a step forward on the path of solving the array.
Although this step was insignificant compared to the entire formation, it was still an improvement, and it was equivalent to a glimmer of hope.
Because of this, Ling Xian's eyes shone brighter and brighter and he became more motivated.
However, he had only taken a few steps forward when he encountered a new obstacle. It was like a boulder on a single-plank bridge. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cross it.
"How do we break through this obstacle?"
Ling Xian frowned and seriously considered this problem. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he could not find a good solution.
If the array in his mind was a chessboard, then the white pieces would be the lines and the black pieces would be his solution. Unfortunately, at this moment, the chessboard was filled with white pieces, and only four points were occupied by black pieces.
In other words, Ling Xian had merely placed down four chess pieces and could no longer place any more.
"Looks like I've overestimated myself."
Sighing softly, Ling Xian's eyes dimmed. However, he had a determined mentality and would not admit defeat so easily. Therefore, his gaze turned determined and he continued to study the problem before him.
Finally, after studying for an entire day, he solved the problem before him and placed down the fifth piece!
Instantly, the array in his mind began to shine with heavenly light. After the fifth piece was placed, the lines on the board crumbled. In other words, this move of his was crucial and he took a giant step forward!
"Very good. It looks like I am not completely hopeless."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He paused for a moment and then placed down another piece. He vowed to destroy all the white pieces!
After he placed down that crucial piece, the entire array seemed to have become simpler. As if God was helping him, he placed down pieces one after another and wiped out all the white pieces around him.
The sixth piece, the seventh piece, the eighth piece … in the blink of an eye, Ling Xian had placed down 30 pieces on the board. Then, he connected them and destroyed hundreds of white pieces.
"Very good. I have taken another big step forward. At this rate, I might actually be able to solve this array." Ling Xian revealed a faint smile, full of confidence.
Even though the hundreds of white pieces that disappeared were like a drop in the ocean compared to the entire chessboard. But to him, this was without a doubt, a giant step forward that gave him limitless motivation!
Therefore, he calmed himself down and concentrated his thoughts into words. Once again, he began another battle against the white pieces!
There was no smoke and there was no fire. However, this battle was just as exciting. It was hard to tell who was going to win and it was extremely intense.
Luckily, no other array masters were here to witness this scene. Or else they would be in awe and call him a monster!
To other array masters, they can only solve arrays after they see the real thing. But Ling Xian? He constructed the model of the array in his mind and treated it like a game of chess. How unbelievable was this?
Plus, this man was concentrating his thoughts into words and was fighting against the white pieces. It was extremely intense!
However, the result of this was gratifying. After a short period of time, Ling Xian placed down hundreds of black pieces and broke a quarter of the array!
Remember that this was the core array of the Imperishable Temple. Since the ancient times, countless array masters have tried to break it but none of them could break it. Yet before his eyes, Ling Xian's aggressive moves had broken a quarter of the array. How unbelievable was this?
It was heaven-defying!
"Phew, I finally broke a quarter of the array."
Ling Xian exhaled deeply and felt very happy. However, he knew very well that breaking a quarter of the array was nothing. The real challenge was yet to come.
Therefore, he didn't dare to be reckless. After resting for a while, he once again placed down a piece. It was as if he wasn't going to stop until the array was broken!
Whooosh!
Concentrating his thoughts into a piece, transforming the pieces into a technique, Ling Xian attacked aggressively and began a battle against the array in his mind!
HOMMMM!
An infinite amount of light shone. The moment the black piece landed on the board, like a dragon, it shattered the few white pieces around it. When the last piece landed, it would complement each other and explode with even more ferocious power, killing the white pieces into a mess.
Just like that, Ling Xian continued to place his pieces. With thunderous force, he continued to attack the array in his mind.
After three days, he once again broke a quarter of the array. In other words, he had broken half of it. However, just as the situation was getting better, he didn't follow up with another attack. Instead, he stopped.
It wasn't that he was resting, it was that he didn't want to continue.
Because he knew very well that with his knowledge of arrays, to have reached this stage was already an unbelievable feat. To continue to solve it was like a fool's dream. It was as difficult as climbing up to the sky.
"Solving half of it is enough. If I continue, I will only tire myself out and waste my energy." Ling Xian softly smiled and did not persist.
To be able to solve half of the array inside the Imperishable Temple was already a heaven-defying feat!
If this news gets passed around, countless array masters would go insane. Especially those who have tried to solve this array before. They would be embarrassed and would cover their faces as they left.
What could they do? Ling Xian was so insane.
Ever since he acquired the Immortal of Array's inheritance, he was destined to not be judged by normal standards. Other array masters at his age would've just become array masters. Those who were talented would've become array masters.
For example, Yan Ning Zhi and Xue Yu Chan. They both became array masters at this age. However, compared to Ling Xian, these two were far from his level.
Though he has only been in contact with arrays for a few years, with the inheritance from the Pioneer of Arrays and his own enlightenment abilities, his knowledge of arrays was already close to the grandmaster level!
In terms of understanding arrays, he had even surpassed the grandmaster level!
After all, it was the inheritance from the Pioneer of Arrays. If he didn't have something special about him, then how could he be called an inheritance?
"It took me 10 days to finally solve half of the array. This reward is already shocking." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, his heart was full of joy.
How many rooms were there inside the Imperishable Temple? Nobody knew. But one thing was clear. If he could solve half of the array, then he would have acquired half of the treasures inside.
More importantly, not only did he acquire many treasures, he also gained control of half of the Imperishable Temple!
To know that even though this Temple only appeared in Yunzhou 300 years ago, according to some people's research, it has existed for at least 10,000 years. In other words, other than the countless treasures inside this Temple, it was also hiding many secrets.
Now that Ling Xian had control over half of the Imperishable Temple, he had control over those secrets. If this news gets out, countless cultivators would go insane!
"Since I broke half of it in my head, then I should try and see if I can break half of it for real." Ling Xian softly grinned. Then, his smile disappeared and his expression turned serious.
Then, he formed a seal with both hands and shouted, "Go!"
As soon as his voice trailed off, an undefeatable amount of energy roared out of him. A giant array appeared in midair, exuding an ancient atmosphere.
It was the mother array of the Imperishable Temple that was being led by Ling Xian!
"Very good."
Smiling in satisfaction, Ling Xian leaped into the air. Like a God, he peered down at all living beings. Then, he softly flapped around his sleeve. Immediately, a wave of energy descended!
In the next second, an unimaginable scene appeared.
The room suddenly disappeared. Take note, it was the entire room that disappeared, not the restriction that was placed in this place.
What did this mean?
It meant he did it. He really did break half of the Imperishable Temple's array!
After the room disappeared, the mysterious energy continued to sweep through everything like a hot knife through butter. One room after another disappeared under this mysterious energy. They completely disappeared!
Then, a miraculous scene appeared.
In midair, many shining treasures appeared. Treasures, spiritual medicines, heavenly materials, and all sorts of treasures were headed towards where Ling Xian was.
Along the way, the dazzling light dyed the space colorful and attracted all the Heaven's Favorites' attention.
Then, everyone fell into a state of shock.
