11: The peach pickers are coming

What's going on?

Why is his speed in learning Void Formation, which is Hell-level difficulty, faster than learning ordinary Formations?

And it's several times faster.

Long Aotian was bewildered.

“Is it because my Divine Sense is stronger?

That shouldn't be the case; there are plenty of people with stronger Divine Sense than me, so why can't they learn Void Formation as quickly as I can?”

Long Aotian fell into deep thought.

It only took him three days to Breakthrough to the Rank One Void Formation Master Realm, which he found truly incredible.

In Ao Zhan's memory, he knew that even Ao Zhan, who was a Void King of the Grand Void Dragon Clan, had fully acknowledged the difficulty of learning Void Formation.

No one could even get started with Void Formation in three days, let alone Breakthrough to the Rank One Void Formation Master Realm.

In his memory, it took Ao Zhan three months to Breakthrough to the Rank One Void Formation Master Realm when he learned Void Formation back then.

This indirectly showed that his rapid learning of Void Formation had little to do with Ao Zhan's Dragon Soul Power, because even Ao Zhan himself was quite incompetent when learning Void Formation.

Soon, Long Aotian thought of a possibility.

Could it be the Chaos Dao Art?

Yes, it must be it!

Ever since he Cultivated the Chaos Dao Art, he felt a strange affinity with nature.

Perhaps, it was this inexplicable affinity that allowed him to make such rapid progress in learning Void Formation?

“It must be because I Cultivated the Chaos Dao Art, there's no mistake! Before, my twelve miscellaneous Spiritual Roots couldn't Cultivate any Cultivation Technique, but the Chaos Dao Art could.

The Dao of the Chaos Dao Art is an all-encompassing Dao; all the great Dao Laws in nature are concentrated in the Chaos Dao.

By Cultivating the Chaos Dao Art, I possess all the great Daos of Heaven and Earth, and thus I have an affinity with nature, as if I am one with it.

Haha, I never expected, never expected, that Cultivating the Chaos Dao Art could bring such good fortune.

Void Formation, which is several or even dozens of times harder to learn than ordinary Formations in the eyes of others, is actually easier for me to grasp than ordinary Formations.

This is simply an unexpected surprise!”

After his excitement, Long Aotian continued to immerse himself in learning Formations.

As for going home?

It had already been cast to the back of his mind.

Not to mention that Long Village is less than two hundred li from Immortal Fall Cave, and his current Divine Sense coverage reaches nine thousand li.

Under the scrutiny of his Divine Sense, he found that Long Village remained unchanged after he left; everything was business as usual.

Why go back?

That time would be better spent Cultivating.

The Formation at the Immortal Fall Cave entrance was also fine; the Rank Two Isolation Formation had no problem sealing the dense Spiritual Qi within the cave, and his Divine Sense detected no overflow, and the Rank Two Concealment Formation should also be sufficient; there was no problem not upgrading it for now.

However, under the scrutiny of his Divine Sense, after the Dragon Soul Power disappeared for nearly three months, some low-Rank Yao Beasts entered within a hundred li radius of the Immortal Fall Cave, which made Long Aotian somewhat vigilant.

Those low-Rank Yao Beasts were lingering in the area between eighty and one hundred li, which was a threat to Long Aotian.

However, the low-Rank Yao Beasts entering this area were still very few, only a few tentatively entering; the Dragon Soul Power that had been here for thousands of years had deeply permeated the consciousness of all nearby Yao Beasts, and this forbidden zone would not be unsealed just because the terrifying Dragon Soul Power suddenly disappeared.

In Long Aotian's opinion, it would likely take a few more months for the nearby Yao Beasts to react.

Before those Yao Beasts entered the core area of this forbidden zone, Long Aotian needed to go out and collect all the Heaven And Earth Treasure in this forbidden zone.

Ao Zhan had been here for thousands, almost ten thousand years, and within a hundred li radius, virtually no Yao Beasts or Cultivators dared to approach, and this area also had a small, top-grade Spiritual Vein.

How much Heaven And Earth Treasure was nurtured here?

After Breakthrough to a Rank Four ordinary Formation Master, Long Aotian originally wanted to go out and collect some, especially since his Divine Sense had already detected a few low-Rank Yao Beasts tentatively entering and moving about in this forbidden zone.

However, the success he achieved in learning Void Formation made him change his mind again.

With his Breakthrough speed in learning Void Formation, why not continue to stay in the third spatial world and learn Void Formation? Once his Void Formation Rank increased, he could directly set up a great Void Formation, enclose this place, and designate it as his own forbidden zone?

After thousands, almost ten thousand years of accumulation, the amount and age of the Heaven And Earth Treasure here were no less than a large Sect's Spirit Medicine garden; it was impossible for Long Aotian not to be tempted.

He acted on his thoughts.

Long Aotian continued to immerse himself in forgotten Formation Cultivation.

In the third spatial world, he only took three days to Breakthrough to the Rank One Void Formation Master Realm, while outside, not even half a day had passed.

How long would it take him to Breakthrough to Rank Two Void Formation?

Long Aotian was full of confidence about this.

Cultivation knows no time.

Soon, another year and two months passed in the third spatial world.

In this year and two months, Long Aotian used nearly half a month to Breakthrough to the Rank Two Void Formation Master Realm, nearly a month to Breakthrough to the Rank Three Void Formation Master Realm, nearly three months to Breakthrough to the Rank Four Void Formation Master Realm, and nearly eight months to Breakthrough to the Rank Five Void Formation Master Realm.

Rank Five Void Formation is comparable to Rank Six ordinary Formations; it can kill Nascent Soul Realm Old Monsters, and even Out-of-Body Realm Old Monsters can be slain if they are careless.

After his Void Formation Breakthrough to Rank Five, Long Aotian finally felt a little more at ease.

His life was now somewhat secure.

Calculating the time, one year and two months passed in the third spatial world, while outside, over forty days, approximately a month and a half, had passed.

Adding the nearly three months he spent learning ordinary Formations and the approximately one month he spent accepting Ao Zhan's several gifts after entering the Immortal Fall Cave.

All told, he had been in Immortal Severing Mountain for over five months, almost six months.

It was time to emerge from seclusion and report his safety.

Otherwise, his father would likely return to the village to look for him.

Furthermore!

Under the scrutiny of his Divine Sense, some low-Rank Yao Beasts had already entered within a fifty li radius of here, and some high-Rank Yao Beasts had also entered within a sixty to seventy li radius.

This was not what made Long Aotian most anxious; under the scrutiny of his Divine Sense, Long Aotian also discovered three teams of human Cultivators entering this forbidden zone, and they had already entered within an eighty li radius, their eyes gleaming as they frantically harvested the Heaven And Earth Treasure of this forbidden zone.

Among these Cultivators, three were Golden Core Realm powerhouses, and the other dozen or so were all Transformation Sea Realm.

Given the Cultivation Realm of these Cultivators, their Divine Sense must have already roughly scanned the safety of the surrounding dozens to hundreds of li, and he believed it wouldn't be long before they harvested the core area.

After checking the situation outside, how could Long Aotian sit still?

Damn it, if he didn't emerge from seclusion and set up a Formation soon, the peaches here would probably be picked by others...
