“Formation Core…” Murmuring, a flash of insight crossed Yu Zi Yu’s mind.
He reckoned that the million flying blades transformed from his Dao-Protecting Artifact—Radiant Galaxy—might be the so-called ‘Formation Core.’ By continuously arranging and combining them, he could create various Formations, thereby unleashing world-shaking might.
However, Formations had not yet fully developed in this era. Although Yu Zi Yu’s Dao-Protecting Artifact—Radiant Galaxy—was formidable, it had not yet given rise to a true Formation.
In other words, the Formation might still require Yu Zi Yu’s own comprehension.
Then, with millions of Formation Cores of Radiant Galaxy, he could unleash incredible power.
Of course, the premise was that there was a formation that needed millions of Formation Cores, or a Formation that needed a medium similar to flying blades as its core.
Thinking this, the gears in Yu Zi Yu’s mind start churning.
The next moment, a thunderous roar echoed through the forest. Visible to the naked eye, strands of silver light surged from Yu Zi Yu.
At this moment, Yu Zi Yu’s body seemed to have transformed into a blazing sun, emitting countless blinding silver rays.
However, what made Golden Monkey’s pupils shrink to pinpoints was that these silver rays were not mere light but individual silver flying blades.
One…
Two…
…
Hundreds of thousands of silver flying blades, with their tips pointed downward and hilts facing upward, were spread across the surface of the lake. Hovering in the air, they slowly rotated, creating a continuous ripple effect. Simultaneously, Spiritual Energy surged through them, causing each silver blade to erupt in a dazzling silver glow, transforming the forest into a shimmering ocean of silver.
“What is this?”
“Heavens?”
…
With piercing cries, countless Mutant Monkeys surged from every corner of the forest.
Some curious Mutant Monkeys couldn’t help but raise their arms, reaching toward the silver flying blades in the sky.
However, before their hands could reach them, the sharp aura radiating from the blades cut through their flesh and skin.
Visible to the naked eye, a streak of blood appeared on the arm of this Tier-2 Mutant Monkey.
What frightened the Monkey even more was that, as if sensing its thoughts, the silver flying blade suddenly emitted a hum. A blinding silver light filled the Monkey’s vision, and by the time it could focus again, the silver blade was already poised just a millimeter from its forehead, slowly rotating, as if hesitating.
…
Not just this Monkey…
Looking across the forest, countless creatures had silver flying blades slowly rotating at their foreheads.
For a moment, the entire forest sunk into a deathly silence. No one dared to utter even a squeak. An aura of death was looming over their head.
It seemed as long as one spoke, they would be skewered the next moment.
Of course, more importantly, an indescribable pressure had immobilized their bodies, rendering them unable to move.
As for those who could still move, though their thoughts moved up and down in nervousness, these powerful Mutant Beasts decisively chose silence.
To become strong, one must not be foolish, otherwise, they would not have come this far.
Clearly, an extraordinary existence had arrived in this forest, and was silently warning them.
…
“Master, what’s this?” With pupils shrunk to pinpoints, Golden Monkey’s face was filled with complexity.
Amazement, shock, and an indescribable awe was clearly written on his face.
After a while, as if realizing something, Golden Monkey looked at the increasingly divine young man in the silver ocean and voiced his admiration, “Master, this is really a surprise. You’ve actually reached this level.”
“Is it strange that I’ve reached this level?”
“No, not strange.” Shaking his head, Golden Monkey spoke truthfully, “It’s just… it’s so fast, so fast that even I find it hard to believe.”
After saying this, Golden Monkey cupped his fists and congratulated, “Congratulations, Master, on acquiring the Dao-Protecting Artifact. From now on, your path will be smooth, and there will be no worries ahead.”
Momentarily taken aback, Yu Zi Yu raised his finger. With a swish, a silver flying knife appeared at his fingertip.
“How did you know this is my Dao-Protecting Artifact?”
“Its brilliant glow, its divine charm, and the mysterious and profound Dao Aura it’s exuding, only a Dao-Protecting Artifact that personally accepts its Master can have such an extraordinary aura. If I’m not mistaken, this weapon has refined Master’s Dao Heart and eliminated ‘heart demons’…”
Nodding, Yu Zi Yu confirmed, “Indeed, it has helped me remove some anxiety and worry…”
As he spoke, the sharpness in Yu Zi Yu’s eyes became even more piercing.
“Master is truly a prodigy.” Hearing Yu Zi Yu’s confirmation, Golden Monkey expressed heartfelt admiration.
[Dao-Protecting Artifact, they protect the Dao in one’s heart and can eliminate the uncertainty in their Master’s mind. This alone proves that Master and this Sentient Artifact have reached a state of perfect unity.]
In fact, this was the most challenging step in refining a Dao-Protecting Artifact. If the Dao-Protecting Artifact did not align with the Dao in one’s heart, this step would become extremely difficult.
Of course, the specifics were unknown to Golden Monkey.
Dao-Protecting Artifacts were too mysterious. In the last era, when the Monkey Clan was at its peak, they only had one true Dao-Protecting Artifact—the Sea-Calming Staff, and the rest were merely Sentient Artifacts.
Compared to Sentient Artifacts, the most powerful aspect of a Dao-Protecting Artifacts was their ability to carry and protect the ‘Dao.’
Not just the Dao of cultivation but also the Dao in one’s heart. They could eliminate the Heart Demons and remove distractions from one’s mind, which was no small feat.
…
*Huuuu…* Golden Monkey took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his mind. Now he knew Yu Zi Yu had come to inquire about the ‘Dao of Formations,’ it was because of this Dao-Protecting Artifact.
Slowly lifting his gaze, he saw a silver ocean spanning the entire forest, with countless flying blades hovering in the air. Their points were directed downward while their hilts faced upward, slowly rotating.
In the sunlight, they shimmered with a dazzling brilliance.
“This is… countless Formation Cores!” With a sigh, a realization appeared in Golden Monkey’s eyes.
He then bowed and inquired Yu Zi Yu, “Master, you must be looking for Formations suitable for this Dao-Protecting Artifact, right?”
“Yes.” Nodding, Yu Zi Yu admitted, “If there are good Formations, the power of my Dao-Protecting Artifact could increase several times.”
“That’s true.” Golden Monkey could also tell this.
However, the next moment, a rare hesitation, with a trace of helplessness appeared in Golden Monkey’s eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Noticing Golden Monkey’s emotions, asked Yu Zi Yu.
“…” After pondering for a moment, Golden Monkey frankly stated his concerns, “The moment I saw these tens of thousands of silver flying blades, I thought of two astonishing Formations. If Master can comprehend these two Formations, the power of this Sentient Artifact could be increased not just several times, but even tens or hundreds of times. And more importantly, Master, if you can imprint these two astonishing Formations onto this Dao-Protecting Artifact, it could even challenge the ‘Extreme Dao Imperial Artifacts’ and shake the entire Universe. However…”
