Self-harm was out of the question. This test required the white-robed Ye Mo to defeat Ye Mo. So, what Ye Mo had to do was force Ye Mo to make a move.
But that wasn't going to be an easy task.
Ye Mo once again sank into deep thought, trying to think of a way out. But normal methods were useless. He could only find a breakthrough in the martial way to break this formation.
Even Blackpeak and Hong Ling began to ponder over it.
Time passed bit by bit.
The seventh formation wasn't much of a threat. Even if he couldn't comprehend it for 10 or 20 years, he would at most be kicked out of the formation. There wasn't any danger.
However, it was precisely because of this that Ye Mo felt the difficulty of breaking this formation.
A year passed, and Ye Mo had made no progress.
Two years passed, and still no progress.
Even after 10 years, Ye Mo still hadn't made any progress. In terms of his comprehension of the Martial Dao, it could be said that he had truly reached the level of a master. There had never been a warrior who would spend time on the comprehension of the Martial Dao. They would either be accumulating energy or cultivating the Deity Martial Arts Union.
Even if someone tried to comprehend the martial way, they wouldn't be able to comprehend it as thoroughly as Ye Mo.
After 10 years, Ye Mo, who was like an old monk in meditation, had a trace of vicissitudes on his face. He slowly opened his eyes and said, "10 years have passed, and I still haven't comprehended the mysteries of this formation. How do I break through this formation?"
Ye Mo didn't give up. He continued to comprehend for another 10 years, but still no progress.
Ye Mo knew that he had spent 15 years on the first six formations. But he had already spent 20 years on the seventh formation, and he still hadn't made any progress.
"I can't let you defeat me. I give up."
Ye Mo opened his eyes and looked at the white-robed Ye Mo. He shook his head. Although he wanted to comprehend the Three Divine Techniques through the remaining three formations, he had done his best.
Now that he had comprehended these six diagrams, he had already improved tremendously. He was already very satisfied.
"Congratulations, you've passed the seventh formation."
The white-robed Ye Mo revealed a smile.
"What?"
Ye Mo's expression changed. He couldn't react at all. How did he pass the formation?
"You are me, and I am you. You gave up, which means I gave up. Naturally, I will be defeated by you."
Ye Mo said calmly.
"If I had given up at the beginning, would I have passed the test?"
Ye Mo asked in confusion.
"Of course not!"
The white-clothed Ye Mo said calmly, "This formation mainly tests a fighter's pursuit of martial arts. One must know how to give up. Only by giving up will one be able to gain more."
If an ordinary martial artist managed to reach the seventh array diagram, they would naturally be extremely confident in their own martial arts talent. Perhaps they would not give up even after hundreds or thousands of years. They might even directly pass away in meditation in the array diagram. They all knew that once they comprehended the Three Divine Techniques, they would obtain unimaginable benefits.
However, the more unwilling they were to give up, the easier it was for them to sink into it and be unable to extricate themselves. They would never be able to break through the seventh formation diagram. Only by truly putting in effort, persevering, and finally feeling that human strength was not enough, knowing how to give up, would they be able to succeed.
"You've already tried hard for twenty years. Furthermore, during these twenty years, your understanding of martial arts has become even deeper. If you choose to give up in the end, it will be considered a success."
After Ye Mo finished speaking, he turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared.
"Give up!"
Ye Mo muttered these two words. He had also realized that sometimes, persevering might not be the best choice.
Understanding this, Ye Mo's understanding of martial arts had once again increased to a whole new level.
Although the next two formations weren't easy, Ye Mo's twenty years of comprehension made it extremely easy for him to break through these two formations.
In five years, he passed through the last two formations and landed at the bottom of the steps of the Bronze Palace.
At that moment, Ye Mo's entire body relaxed as he let out a long breath. After forty years, Ye Mo had finally succeeded in breaking through the Nine by Nine Formation.
"If I had used 40 years of time to make breakthroughs, I would have long reached 100 Immortal Corpses, or even 1,000 Immortal Corpses. But the gains I've made in these 40 years aren't something that can be brought about by merely advancing in realm."
Ye Mo smiled.
Advancing in realm was only an increase in strength. For Ye Mo, it was an increase in comprehension. If Ye Mo were to unleash the Reincarnation Killing Dao now, he would definitely be shocked. His Reincarnation Killing Dao had already reached the Sixth Cycle.
He was only one level away from the Seventh Cycle.
Hei Feng and Hong Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly. Deep down, they couldn't believe it either. Even though they knew Ye Mo very well, it was hard for them to imagine that Ye Mo could reach this step.
"Finally, I've made a breakthrough. I should be able to comprehend the Three Divine Techniques now, right?"
Ye Mo raised his head and looked at the Bronze Palace on the steps. Slowly, he walked over. As he climbed up the steps, his surroundings changed again. With every step Ye Mo took, a formation on the Nine by Nine Formation entered the Ancient Door of the Bronze Palace. Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
One formation after another entered the Ancient Door. When Ye Mo finally reached the Ancient Door, all the formations entered the Ancient Door. Finally, the Three Aurora Balls in the air also entered the Ancient Door.
The entire space was empty once again. Only the Bronze Palace remained. Ye Mo slowly walked up and placed his palm on the Ancient Door.
Immediately, three powerful forces rushed into Ye Mo's body. If it was the Ye Mo from before, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the influx of this kind of energy. He would've died immediately.
But, with 40 years of experience in breaking the Nine by Nine Formation, he was able to guide the energy in his body very well. Moreover, the feeling of this energy was similar to the Rune Particles.
Ye Mo immediately understood that this was the purest form of the Three Extreme Powers that had started to pour into his body. Only by truly mastering the Three Extreme Powers could he activate the Three Divine Techniques.
As time passed, Ye Mo closed his eyes and allowed the Three Extreme Powers to pour into his body. He knew very well that 40 years of hard work had finally paid off.
After three days and three nights, the speed at which the Three Extreme Powers poured into his body became slower and slower. In the end, it completely disappeared. As for Ye Mo's body, it was filled with the Three Extreme Powers.
He continued to guide and separate the Three Extreme Powers. In the end, he compressed them into three marble-sized beads and hid them in his Godhead.
"It seems that my realm has reached a bottleneck after absorbing the Three Extreme Powers this time. It's time for me to try breaking through."
Ye Mo's eyes flashed. At that moment, he immediately thought of breaking through to the Hundred Mortal Realm.
