Chapter 31 Innate Array Heart

```The Qian Yuan Sect Master looked at the strange gaze each Elder was casting upon him.

He could only suppress the discomfort.

He walked back to his throne and sat down.

"What are you all staring at me for? Where were we in the discussion?"

"We were talking about the leak of information, right? Actually, it's not a problem. Anyway, we have already made initial contact with the Wayless Sect. We have the initiative. You must understand, the Wayless Sect is still hidden from the world. Even if those people know this news, what can they do?"

"Furthermore, I heard from the Great Elder that he had sent an invitation for our Sect's grand competition three months from now to a disciple of the Wayless Sect, asking him to attend the event."

"When the time comes, getting in touch with the disciple from the Wayless Sect would be equivalent to contacting the Wayless Sect, wouldn't it?"

The Qian Yuan Sect Master endured the discomfort and pretended to be dignified, as if he were strategizing over grand matters.

He spoke,

Feelings of frustration filled his heart.

He reminisced about the not-so-distant past when he was in Divinity Transformation Realm.

A well-known, powerful figure in East State.

Now, he had fallen to being a mere mortal,

And the kind that couldn't recover his cultivation levels.

After the Qian Yuan Sect Master returned to the palace, he tried using methods to restore his cultivation levels.

But it was simply impossible.

His body was in a very strange state.

To put it simply, it had bugged out.

Ordinarily, with his Primordial Spirit shattered, he would have been undoubtedly dead.

Unless a deity descended to save him, nothing could have saved his life.

But it just so happened that his lifesaving trump card was extremely special.

It successfully preserved his life.

This placed him in an incredibly awkward situation.

Devoid of Primordial Spirit, yet still alive...

The numerous Elders beside him hadn't noticed anything off about the Qian Yuan Sect Master.

After hearing what the Qian Yuan Sect Master had said,

They all felt relieved.

From what the Qian Yuan Sect Master said, their Qiandi Dao Sect still held the advantage.

"That's good, that's good—our Qiandi Dao Sect having an advantage is good..."

"Thank heavens the Great Elder sent out an invitation."

"The Sect's grand competition in three months is indeed a good opportunity."

"A good opportunity for what?"

"For you all to see my brown-nosing skills!"

"..."

The many Elders chatted amongst themselves.

Suddenly, an Elder shouted in surprise, "Sect Master? Where did the Sect Master go? He's disappeared again."

The many Elders started looking around, only to find that the Qian Yuan Sect Master had vanished once more...

...

Wayless Sect, Hall of Law Transmission.

Zhang Han plunged into fervent reading as soon as he entered.

He did not focus on powerful Cultivation Techniques or any secret teachings; he was reading about some secret history.

Seeking information on 'enlightenment.'

He spent an entire night immersed in this search.

It was only when the dawn's early light shone into the Hall of Law Transmission that Zhang Han slightly came to his senses.

Sigh...

Zhang Han placed down the ancient tome he held and took a deep breath.

After spending the whole night examining various ancient texts,

Although he hadn't found the information on how to 'enlighten,' he did come across useful information.

According to the records, a thousand years ago, there was someone whose experience was remarkably similar to his.

That was the Array Master Li Ling of the past generation!

A genius who dominated the field of arrays for an era, a millennium ago.

The records state that in his youth, due to certain circumstances, Li Ling's Spirit Root was destroyed, preventing him from cultivation, but he later awakened a certain Physique and reentered the Immortal Path, soaring to great heights and achieving the status of Array Master!

And what Li Ling awakened was called 'Innate Array Heart.'

Born with the Innate Array Heart, he possessed extraordinary talent in the way of formations.

```

And those with an Innate Array Heart can never have a Spirit Root at the same time, for their talents would be too heaven-defying.

Even the heavens and earth cannot tolerate such an anomaly.

Therefore, the heavens and earth would destroy the Spirit Root of those bearing an Array Heart to somewhat balance the talents.

After seeing this information,

Ye Luo had some vague guesses regarding his own situation.

"Respected Master once said that he chose me as a disciple because I possess talents that normal people cannot have, and I thought Master was merely consoling me."

"Now I think about it, Master was probably hinting at me about the matter of the Innate Array Heart."

"If I'm not mistaken, the mark left by Master was meant to awaken my Array Heart, but since I have been unable to comprehend it, I've been lost in confusion."

Ye Luo analyzed for a moment.

Suddenly, his mind shook.

He understood everything.

The fog of confusion lingering in his heart dissipated completely.

Master, your disciple understands!

Ye Luo clenched his fists and without further hesitation, put down the book in his hand and ran toward the mountain gate.

After a while of running,

Ye Luo finally reached the foot of the mountain gate again.

He looked up at the mark on the stone, extended his hand from his sleeve, and placed it over his chest.

Thump thump thump...

The rhythm of his beating heart was transmitted to the palm of his hand.

Ye Luo stared at the straight mark on the stone.

He understood... Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The mark was straight without any bends; Master's intention was for him to awaken the Array Heart with an unbending and sharp determination.

At the moment Ye Luo understood,

strange azure runes began to manifest one after another on his chest.

The azure runes, both mysterious and profound, seemed as if each rune was a transformation of an ancient Great Formation.

Runes connected one after another, as if challenging the heavens and earth.

Thump thump thump...

The sound of his beating heart was infinitely amplified at that moment, resonating like warning bells and evening drums.

Such terrifying might.

Fortunately, this was within the Wayless Sect, shrouded in a Concealment Formation.

Otherwise, in the outside world, it might have attracted the scrutiny of countless powerful beings, mistaking it for the birth of some heavenly treasure.

The manifestation of the runes

continued for a full two hours before coming to an end.

Ye Luo, standing before the stone, slowly opened his eyes and a look of joy crossed his face.

"Truly, my talent is indeed the Array Heart! The Innate Array Heart! Master, I understand everything, I have not let down your expectations, I have awakened the Array Heart!"

"With the Array Heart, I only need to comprehend formations to raise my cultivation levels, what a terrifying talent!"

Ye Luo was overjoyed.

He turned around, intending to find his Master and tell him that he had not let him down, that he had successfully comprehended the truth.

However, before he could take a few steps,

he was suddenly intercepted by Ye Luo.

"Elder brother, what are you doing stopping me? I want to go and congratulate Master," Ye Luo said with a smile on his face.

"Naturally, I'm reminding you that it's best not to go congratulate Master just now," Ye Luo said solemnly.

Ye Luo frowned slightly, confused.

"May I ask elder brother, why not?"

Ye Luo, holding his long sword, took a few steps and said meaningfully, "It's for your own good. I understand your desire to make Master happy, but think about it, with such a grand display of your successful enlightenment, why didn't Master show up? What does that tell you?"

"It's because Master doesn't want us to develop pride, so he wouldn't show up. The message is that we should put away our proud hearts."

"If you go to Master now, what does that mean? Would you disappoint Master's kindness? If you truly wish to repay Master, then practice your cultivation earnestly, be more low-key in front of Master, and wait until you have grown before repaying Master. That's the true way to do it..."

These words

suddenly made Ye Luo realize the truth.

...

Meanwhile,

high above a city, someone named Chu, with a gourd candy in his mouth and leisurely riding on a Magic Cloud, had no idea about what was happening in his Sect.

He just floated along leisurely...
