Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1250 - 1249: The World’s Strongest Array Master

Bai Xiaolan froze on the spot.

Looking at Fang Yu's confident yet aged figure, she suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

"Mr. Fang, I know you have a high level of attainment in arrays... But shouldn't you really learn more about the State Preceptor?"

"Tell me about it..."

"The State Preceptor is already a hundred thousand years old, two thousand years older than my father. The Elf Clan's territory is one of the few places on the continent where one can live without hiding in a secret realm. This is because the State Preceptor has hidden the entire territory with arrays. Even regular array masters can't discover it. This place is like a paradise," Bai Xiaolan said.

Fang Yu nodded: "No wonder the Ten Great Bloodlines have never found the Elf Clan. No wonder your State Preceptor's status and reputation are so high."

Bai Xiaolan nodded, pursed her red lips, and said:

"The State Preceptor exhibited immense talent from a young age. At ten, he could inscribe primary arrays. At fifteen, he inscribed intermediate arrays. At twenty, he became the leading advanced array master in the Elf Clan. By twenty-five, he became an array master; at thirty, an array master; at thirty-five, a Saint-level array master; at forty, he single-handedly blocked all the melting snow in the Extreme North, making a name for himself throughout the Northern Country; at forty-five, he walked around the entire Northern Country measuring its length; at fifty, he spent a hundred years inscribing seventy-seven forty-nine layer arrays around the whole Northern Country!"

At this point.

Fang Yu couldn't help but be secretly astonished.

Such an extraordinary talent able to lay down a superb teleportation array was hardly surprising.

It seemed that the teleportation array was just a small feat for the State Preceptor.

Once the Northern Country was stable, the Elf Clan built temples and worshipped the State Preceptor for generations! When the State Preceptor reached ten thousand years, he again measured the Northern Country and laid down ninety-nine eighty arrays; since then, the Elf Clan remained hidden, no longer concerning itself with external matters. When the State Preceptor was thirty thousand years old, a strong cultivator from outside accidentally discovered the Elf Clan; thousands of great cultivators led hundreds of thousands to attack the Northern Country; the State Preceptor activated a shocking large array and annihilated all enemies; then he spent five hundred years recovering his primordial qi, and another five hundred years repairing the arrays!

At forty thousand years, the Elf Clan held a celebration for the State Preceptor every millennium. From that point, the State Preceptor never took action again."

The air was a bit quiet.

While recounting these deeds, Bai Xiaolan's eyes shone with admiration as one might look over a cherished collection.

Even shed a few tears.

Such glorious deeds, let alone for the State Preceptor himself, placed on anyone's shoulders would be enough to boast about.

Achievements deserving of eternal fame.

Fang Yu was extremely surprised inside.

Yet on the surface, he remained calm...

After listening to Bai Xiaolan, Fang Yu's confidence wavered for the first time.

Never had he lost confidence like today.

What kind of figure was such a prodigy?

Fang Yu suddenly wanted to meet this legendary State Preceptor.

"Seems you admire him a lot." Fang Yu said lightly.

"Yes... He is my mentor, taught me many things, both in life and work..." Bai Xiaolan said.

"From what you say, the rumors that you admire Emperor Yu of Tiandu Mountain seem false then?" Fang Yu rolled his eyes.

"Uh..."

This abrupt change took Bai Xiaolan by surprise.

She replied somewhat embarrassed, lowering her head slightly, her pretty face reddening.

Seeing her shy look, Fang Yu joked: "Ah, indeed, aging and losing one's charm brings solitude... This old fellow no longer possesses the youthful energy to attract you girls."

"..."

"Don't look at me like that... At my age, in this body, what advantage could I possibly take... By the way, thanks for holding me while I slept these past days..." Fang Yu said.

"..."

Bai Xiaolan's ears turned red.

Fang Yu chuckled, "I'm just teasing... Let's go... The sooner we resolve matters here, the sooner we can return to Tiandu Mountain!"

"Mm."

The two continued forward.

...

Outside the Elf Forest.

Many Elf Clan cultivators were already waiting here.

This time, no one looked down on Fang Yu anymore.

Except...

The direction of their discussion was largely the same as last time.

"The second layer of trials, I don't believe he can pass it... If he passes, I'll crawl!"

"These ten restrictions were laid by the State Preceptor himself, and no one has passed them for years."

"After all, these are the State Preceptor's restrictions, I remember Your Majesty, only reached the Sixth Layer restriction, and had to return the way he came."

"Ten restrictions represent ten levels of talent, ten levels of cultivation, ten opportunities... Anyone who passes this layer will not just be chosen by destiny, but will also earn the State Preceptor's recognition."

The difficulty of the second layer of trials was incredibly terrifying, shocking many.

Meanwhile.

Fang Yu and Bai Xiaolan slowly arrived outside the forest.

Looking at the forest entrance, a stele stood there, with many cultivators waiting. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Fang Yu asked, "Huh? Where is the State Preceptor?"

Bai Xiaolan rolled her eyes: "The State Preceptor's status and dignity are so revered; he wouldn't easily present himself in such an event, even if my father came, the State Preceptor might not appear."

"Wow, quite the airs he's putting on," Fang Yu said.

"Mr. Fang, in the Elf Clan's territory, it's wise to say less of such things. If overheard, many will think you're disrespecting the State Preceptor," Bai Xiaolan said.

Bai Xiaolan was right too.

With such glorious deeds as described earlier, the State Preceptor's status and reputation really wouldn't show up for minor occasions.

But Fang Yu said, "You might not know... I am also a State Preceptor, of the Flower Domain... In terms of territory size, the Flower Domain is not smaller than yours, nor are our cultivations less than yours. The only difference is your location in the Northern Country, Extreme North, bitterly cold, whereas they dwell in the Great Domain!"

"Uh..."

"But, I am magnanimous, not going to argue with you. In light of all the contributions your State Preceptor made, I can show him some respect," Fang Yu said lightly.

As soon as he said that.

A voice came from not far away—

"Your Majesty!"

"Elder!"

"General!"

Led by the Elf King, sitting in a carriage, Zhou Zhenchuan General riding a tall horse, accompanied by three aged elders, slowly moved forward.

The crowd automatically parted, all kneeling in salute.

They reached the forest checkpoint.

The carriage stopped.

Bai Xiaolan bowed: "Xian Yao greets Father, General, and Elders."

The atmosphere solidified.

Everybody paid their respects, yet Fang Yu stood straightly, indifferent.

The cultivators in the crowd began to feel a bit dissatisfied... Not considering his own status, yet daring to directly confront Your Majesty.

Too audacious!
