Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1259 - 1258: The Final Trial

Ji Yuanxing nodded and said with satisfaction:

"Your mastery of arrays is impressive... where did you learn it?"

"I had no master... I taught myself."

These words caused another wave of astonishment among the crowd.

Self-taught, that seemed like boasting.

"You still haven't said, how did you know the tenth restriction doesn't exist?" Ji Yuanxing asked.

Fang Yu smiled and said:

"You used the previous nine restrictions to set up various barriers and countless traps... honestly, even a Great Cultivator in the Heaven Stepping Realm would have to be very careful trying to break these restrictions. The earlier restrictions were just laying the groundwork for the tenth... the further back, the harder the restrictions become, but when it reaches the eighth and ninth, the restrictions suddenly become easier... this is clearly counterintuitive. It doesn't conform to the usual setting of restrictions... so, the tenth restriction isn't really a restriction, but a deadly trap fusing the previous nine! If I enter, I'll fall into the trap... but if I don't enter, the ten restrictions will collapse on their own..."

The crowd looked at Fang Yu, puzzled and unable to comprehend his words.

Even many cultivators present understood arrays but were listening in a fog.

"Anything else?"

Ji Yuanxing knew he hadn't finished and deliberately reminded Fang Yu to continue.

How could ten restrictions be so simple?

Fang Yu continued:

"I must say, you are the most ingenious Array Master I've ever seen... these ten restrictions, the first nine are actually illusions. Though they appear as illusions, they deceive the truth; a wrong step would still cause harm. The real ten restrictions are all in the final array. If the tenth restriction fails to be broken, then the previous nine will also fail... in that case, I'd be forever trapped within the restrictions... this is a very dangerous step! If one returned early before the eighth restriction, harm could be avoided, but... for me, passing nine and failing makes no difference..."

"So—"

"By stacking all ten restrictions together and not touching them, they collapse on their own. Thus, I broke the ten restrictions." Fang Yu said.

Clap. Clap…

Ji Yuanxing couldn't help but applaud.

His face was full of admiration and amazement.

Looking at the elderly Fang Yu, Ji Yuanxing said, "If you were a bit younger, perhaps I really would have been tempted to take you as my last disciple… Not being able to cultivate is okay; you can open your Qi Sea with external help. This talent in arrays is unparalleled!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

It was their first time hearing the State Preceptor wanting to take an outsider as a disciple, let alone the last disciple.

This was a remarkable event.

However...

In Fang Yu's eyes, it seemed somewhat amusing.

"No need... to be frank... you are not qualified to be my teacher."

"..."

The crowd's expression changed.

Such arrogant tone.

Daring to offend even the State Preceptor, courting death?

"How bold! You dare be disrespectful to the State Preceptor; I'll take your life!"

Zhou Yunsheng rushed forward, having long harbored grudges against Fang Yu, and seized the opportunity.

But as he charged to the front of the State Preceptor, with a bang, an invisible force flung Zhou Yunsheng away.

Ji Yuanxing said calmly:

"I'm not angry; what are you doing?"

Repelled by this invisible force, Zhou Yunsheng's mind went blank, staring dumbfounded at the State Preceptor.

Ji Yuanxing continued:

"This is my matter; who dares interfere?"

Upon these words, everyone around kept quiet obediently.

What status the State Preceptor holds.

Strictly speaking, even the Elf King dare not intervene in his affairs.

Since the State Preceptor said so, others dared not interfere and could only watch obediently from the side.

Ji Yuanxing smiled, looking at Fang Yu, and said: "Sorry for the spectacle... since you don't want to learn arrays, isn't such a splendid talent wasted?"

"If I tell you my talent in other areas surpasses this, you would surely think I'm boasting… So, better not ask about such matters." Fang Yu said earnestly.

"..."

Bai Xiaolan was completely speechless.

Before knowing Fang Yu, it was unknown; now it is known that the so-called Emperor Yu of Tiandu Mountain is indeed narcissistic.

One who doesn't converse well.

Conversing leads to dead ends.

Ji Yuanxing was also helpless, calmly saying, "Well… then let's talk about future matters."

"Listening intently."

"Since you passed the examination of the Second Layer's restrictions, as the State Preceptor of the Elf Clan, I must advise you... it's best not to participate in the Third Layer's trial, just give up. I'll arrange for someone to take you out of the Elf Clan, how's that?" Ji Yuanxing said.

This echoed the crowd's thoughts.

Zhou Yunsheng and Zhou Zhenchuan hoped for this.

Fang Yu shook his head and said:

"That's not possible... it's hard to endure until the Second Layer's trial is completed; how could I not proceed with the Third Layer's trial... seize the day, tell me where the Third Layer's trial is directly?"

"Are you sure about participating in the Third Layer's trial?" Ji Yuanxing said regretfully.

"Certainly."

"The Third Layer tests Heaven and Earth Laws... only cultivators above the Taoist Saint Realm can comprehend Heaven and Earth Laws. The higher the comprehension of laws, the easier to pass this trial. Conversely... ordinary people know nothing of Heaven and Earth Laws; once entering the trial, they'll be annihilated. Given your state, even the lowest-level spatial rip would be hard to withstand... I'll ask you again, are you sure about participating in the Third Layer's trial?" Ji Yuanxing asked.

"Sure... I don't wish to reiterate this... I do want to ask something of the State Preceptor and His Majesty Elf King." Fang Yu said.

"Go ahead."

"If I pass the trials of the Third Layer... can I become Prince Consort and receive the inheritance of Heaven and Earth Essence from the Elf Clan?" Fang Yu asked.

Hiss...

Everyone drew in a cold breath; this is a core issue for the Elf Clan.

They didn't expect Fang Yu would dare ask directly.

To be honest.

Things have developed to this extent; even if their intellect is dull, it's clear the elder before them is extraordinary.

Matters concerning the Elf Clan's future are not lightly promised.

Just as Zhou Zhenchuan and Zhou Yunsheng, father and son, were about to object.

Ji Yuanxing said: "Of course!"

Whoosh.

Everyone looked at each other.

The Elf King glanced complexly at the State Preceptor.

Ji Yuanxing was smiling, as if everything was within his grasp.

No one knew what thoughts passed between them.

Even Bai Xiaolan was overwhelmed by Fang Yu's stunning display.

Previously she saw a glimmer of hope, now… she sees even more hope.

"Then take me there... I am very eager to witness these so-called Heaven and Earth Laws!"

"Please—"
