Hong Jie and the others arrived to find Chu Tian gazing up at the great array.
He stood there motionless.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Qing Qing approached Chu Tian, speaking a sentence before reaching out to pat him.
Hong Jie, noticing Chu Tian's unusual state, grabbed Qing Qing's arm.
Qing Qing also reacted at that moment.
They hadn't seen Chu Tian's appearance when they came from behind.
Now, from the side, one could see that Chu Tian's eyes had completely turned milky white.
The pupils were gone, making him look terrifying.
However, subtle fluctuations emanated from his brow, penetrating the great array.
Fortunately, Hong Jie had pulled her back in time.
Otherwise, the impetuous Qing Qing might have interrupted Chu Tian.
"What is he doing?" Qing Qing asked in a lower voice.
"He should be... breaking the array!"
Hong Jie said uncertainly.
After all, she had never seen a formation master break an array without any tools.
Based on Chu Tian's previous performance,
it was clear he himself didn't know.
After reading that thin book, "Wan Zhen Jie," it was as if he had learned some divine ability.
Could that book really break all arrays?
Hong Jie's guess was correct.
Initially, Chu Tian also thought he would need some tokens to break the array.
He knew nothing about formations before, but hadn't he seen pigs run even if he hadn't eaten pork?
Lin Ran was a formation master, and Miao Zuo was a talisman master.
Both formations and talismans borrowed the power of heaven and earth and had commonalities.
Thus, the two often collaborated.
They both needed tools to construct and break formations.
That book, "Wan Zhen Jie," was written by Lin Ran.
This was why Chu Tian had initially taken out those bottles and jars.
But after reading it, Chu Tian discovered that
the profound mysteries in "Wan Zhen Jie" all relied on immense soul power for support.
No wonder Lin Ran said when giving the book to Chu Tian that... only he could learn it.
The entire book was Lin Ran's theories.
And Lin Ran himself couldn't realize these theories.
He still needed to use some tools to break formations, but no matter what he used, it was to destroy the nodes of the formation, rendering the great array useless.
Thus, he thought,
if he could directly penetrate with soul power and destroy the nodes without being discovered by the great array, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
When he used those tools to destroy the great array, he first had to attack some of the array's defenses,
only then could he reach the nodes and completely shatter the great array.
Therefore, this book, written by Lin Ran,
had never been practiced by him.
It could be said that from the moment he started writing, he had Chu Tian in mind, this person known as a Soul Master on Blue Star.
Soul Masters were extraordinary existences on Blue Star.
They were once hunted by major sects and families.
This was because events involving Soul Masters often brought many ill omens,
leading to many tragedies.
In reality, it was just that a Soul Master's soul was too powerful.
He couldn't control his own will.
The stronger the soul, the stronger the inner demon, and eventually, he could only head towards destruction.
Therefore, this book was tailor-made for Chu Tian.
It could also be said to be a secret manual for breaking through formations, written for those with strong souls.
Of course, many of its profound mysteries still required those with extremely high comprehension to understand.
Even Chu Tian, in the past, wouldn't have understood this.
Fortunately, his cultivation was strong, otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to learn it.
At this moment, Chu Tian's soul penetrated the protective barrier in front of him.
In his eyes, the entire barrier seemed like an object composed of countless lines.
Inside, there were only points and lines.
Each point was connected by countless lines.
It gave a sense of playing an puzzle game.
What Chu Tian needed to do was to quietly sever or alter the connection between certain lines and points, or move the position of a line to another point.
It was precisely because Chu Tian's soul was powerful that otherwise, in this tangled mess, anyone else who penetrated with their divine sense would instantly have their spiritual platform explode.
Even so, Chu Tian's head and eyes felt a stinging pain.
Amidst the tangled mess, Chu Tian finally sorted out the sequence.
He began to move the connections between lines and points one by one.
Hong Jie and the others were already standing guard. It had been some time since Chu Tian entered this state.
The sky had turned dark again.
Half an hour ago, the troop from the Amo tribe began to move.
They had left their original positions.
All of them had assembled at the foot of the cliff.
It seemed they were indeed going to ambush the rear of the Ta tribe.
If such a troop were to cause an explosion in the Ta tribe's hinterland, the Ta tribe would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Without border defense armies, those cities were no match for these invading soldiers.
It could be imagined that the cities of the Ta tribe would be breached one by one, countless civilians would be slaughtered.
Various resources and supplies would be plundered.
"You guys, come look!"
Qing Qing, who was guarding beside Chu Tian, called out softly.
Hong Jie flashed and appeared instantly.
"Qing Qing, calm down! The Amo tribe isn't far from us, be careful not to attract them!"
The reason Qing Qing wasn't on guard was that this girl was as careless as ever. Let alone having her guard, it would be good if she didn't attract others.
Unexpectedly, she still wasn't quiet.
"Look!" Qing Qing pouted, saying unwillingly.
Without her needing to say it, Hong Jie had already noticed something unusual.
The Supreme Guardian Array in front of Chu Tian seemed to have melted, revealing a passage that gradually extended into the distance.
"This..." Hong Jie was dumbfounded.
The Supreme Guardian, the ultimate defense of a domain.
Had it really been... cut open by Chu Tian?
So far, it could only be described as cut open.
If Chu Tian were to describe it himself, he might say... digging a hole!
He had dug a mouse hole in this Supreme Guardian, which was of unknown thickness!
Chu Tian, with his eyes still white, moved at this moment.
His steps were not very fast, but he walked into the hole step by step.
Hong Jie and Qing Qing were stunned and quickly called the other two men back.
The four of them hesitated here.
"Should we go in? What if the array closes up and we are instantly annihilated!"
"Not possibly, not annihilated, but instantly turned into dust!"
"So, should we go in or not?"
The four of them fell silent.
Finally, Hong Jie took the lead. She chose to follow Chu Tian's footsteps inside.
Since she had made up her mind,
Qing Qing and the other two had no further considerations.
They also walked into the hole in the great array.
Chu Tian's initial steps were slow.
Gradually, they became faster.
Half an hour later, five figures, one in front and four behind,
traversed the great array.
Initially, Chu Tian's manipulation of the lines and points within the array was a bit slow.
Now, he could almost break large sections instantly.
This Supreme Guardian Array,
it was unclear how wide it was, but in any case, Chu Tian had carved a tunnel through its middle.
Another hour passed, and Chu Tian suddenly felt a change before his eyes. The existence of lines and points in the world had vanished.
His advancing body suddenly stopped in place.
"We're out!"
His unconscious state had just recovered when he heard the joyous shouts from behind him.
