At this moment, within the barrier created by the Great Strength Demon God, Ye Yunfei was cultivating while Su Qingluo was recuperating from her injuries.
Ye Yunfei's focus was on breaking through his cultivation realm and practicing his sword art.
This state of dividing one's attention to cultivate two different disciplines simultaneously would severely impact the effectiveness of cultivation for ordinary beings. However, Ye Yunfei was different. Within his Soul Sea resided two Soul Bodies, allowing him to practice two different cultivation arts at the same time.
In fact, every time Ye Yunfei cultivated, he had always trained in two or even multiple martial techniques and cultivation methods simultaneously!
Having taken the medicinal pill gifted to her by the Great Strength Demon God, Su Qingluo felt her injuries improve considerably, much to her delight.
The pills collected by the Great Strength Demon God were, naturally, no ordinary items.
After refining and absorbing the pill given by the demon god, Su Qingluo began to process another pill given to her by Ye Yunfei.
While the healing pills Ye Yunfei concocted were less effective than those of the Great Strength Demon God, they still provided a noticeable benefit.
Su Qingluo's injuries were slowly recovering.
Sensing her aura gradually stabilizing and even showing signs of enhancement, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Hmm?"
Just then, Ye Yunfei sensed that beyond the barrier's energy, there was also a fluctuation of formation energy.
Ever since cultivating the Heavenly Formation Secret Record, Ye Yunfei had become particularly sensitive to formation energy. Thus, even while hiding within the demon god's barrier, he could still perceive the energy fluctuations of the formations in the world outside.
"Senior Great Strength Demon God seems to be using formations to face the enemy."
After a moment of perception, Ye Yunfei grasped the general situation.
"Perhaps I can be of help regarding the formations!"
Ye Yunfei faintly sensed that the formations the demon god was employing against the foes seemed to be flawed.
"The formations Senior arranged back then, having endured such a long passage of time, must surely have their power diminished!
I wonder if my attainment in formations is sufficient to assist Senior in reinforcing and repairing them," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"Senior, can you let me out for a look?"
Having thought this, Ye Yunfei immediately sent a Sound Transmission to the Great Strength Demon God.
"Oh?
What do you plan to do coming out here?"
Receiving the transmission, the demon god was taken aback and asked.
"Senior, I have some small understanding of formations. I'd like to see if I can assist you in repairing those formations," Ye Yunfei stated his purpose directly.
"Oh?
You want to help me repair these three formations?
Stop joking, young man. The setup methods for these three formations cost me a great deal to procure from a master formation artist back in the day.
Truthfully, even I only have a superficial understanding of them. How could you possibly have the ability to repair these three formations?"
The Great Strength Demon God simply didn't believe it, shaking his head as he spoke.
"Senior, how can you know I'm incapable unless you let me try?
Besides, letting me attempt it won't cause any loss," Ye Yunfei said.
"That's true.
Alright, since you want to try, come out and take a look."
The demon god nodded after hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
He then directly teleported Ye Yunfei out from the barrier, placing him within the palace hall.
"These are indeed three incredibly sophisticated formations!"
Extending his Soul Power, Ye Yunfei perceived the three ancient formations and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Young man, you can study them slowly if you wish.
These three formations should still be able to hold for a while longer," the Great Strength Demon God said to Ye Yunfei.
"I'll transmit the complete formation doctrines and setup methods of these three ancient formations to you," the demon god said, pointing a finger to send a stream of Soul Power information into Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"Good."
Ye Yunfei found a spot within the hall, sat down cross-legged, released his Soul Power, and began to study the three ancient formations.
As he studied them, Ye Yunfei cross-referenced the various formation knowledge contained within the Heavenly Formation Secret Record.
The Heavenly Formation Secret Record was a compendium on formations, introducing the setup and unraveling methods for all kinds of formations under heaven.
Every time Ye Yunfei studied it, he gained new insights.
"This kid does seem to have some research into formations.
He excels in both body and energy cultivation, yet to think he also studies formations—a bit too varied, I fear he might try to grasp everything yet master nothing.
I'll have to properly advise him later," thought the Great Strength Demon God as he watched Ye Yunfei enter a state of perceiving the formations so swiftly, his brow slightly furrowing.
Meanwhile, outside the palace, the five Earth Immortals were attacking the three ancient formations with all their might.
Under their combined assaults, the outermost formation began to sway and tremble, seemingly on the verge of giving way.
"Everyone! It seems it won't be long before we break through the outermost formation!
Although the grade of these three formations is high, they are still no match for the five of us together!"
All five Earth Immortals felt their spirits soar, with Monk Taishan crying out in delight.
"The outermost formation probably can't hold out much longer.
I never truly fully understood these three formations back then. I don't even know if I made any mistakes during their setup. Moreover, after enduring such a long stretch of time, their power is weaker than I anticipated!
I'm afraid these three formations won't last much longer," the Great Strength Demon God couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
"Hahaha...
To think a mere Remnant Soul dares to oppose us!
Once we break these three formations and shatter the restrictions inside the palace, you'll know regret then!
I wouldn't mind feeding your Remnant Soul to my poison bugs!
The remnant soul of a powerful being should make my bugs' poison even more potent."
The Five Immortals Sect master laughed mockingly.
BOOM! RUMBLE...
The attacks of the five Earth Immortal experts grew even more violent, causing the outermost formation to actually develop a fine crack.
"This formation is about to be breached by us!"
All five Earth Immortal experts were extremely excited.
The Great Strength Demon God's heart, however, sank, his expression turning somewhat grim.
"Senior, the materials used to set up these three formations are quite high-grade. Do you still have any left?"
Just then, Ye Yunfei suddenly spoke up and asked.
"Formation materials?
Young man, do you truly intend to repair these three formations?"
The demon god was startled.
"Back then, to set up the various restrictions and formations within this Small World, I collected a vast amount of formation materials, more than I could use.
The remaining portion is all in this spatial ring.
You can take it and use it if you want."
After thinking for a moment, the Great Strength Demon God flicked his finger, sending a spatial ring flying to land before Ye Yunfei.
"However, the grade of these three formations is truly high. Back then, relying on my own cultivation base, I adopted a rather brute-force method. I simply forced the various materials into their corresponding positions with sheer power according to the formation's structure, forcibly completing the setup.
Even if you have these materials, repairing them will be very difficult.
To be blunt, your strength is far, far beneath what mine was back then. It's not even worth mentioning," the Great Strength Demon God said.
"Senior, I can see that you relied on brute force to set up the arrays, which is why you couldn't fully unleash the true power of these three ancient formations.
Senior, I'll begin repairing the formations now."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
With the formation doctrines and setup methods for these three ancient formations in hand, combined with his own insights, Ye Yunfei had already conceived a method to repair them!
Of course, this was primarily because the Heavenly Formation Secret Record documented the underlying principles, setup methods, and dismantling techniques for all kinds of sophisticated formations across the realms, providing Ye Yunfei with ample reference points.
