0Before this, if someone had mentioned any unusual changes, Elemental Spirit would have immediately thought of one thing. Hall Master Lin Xuan had visited once. Moreover, he had done something Elemental Spirit couldn't quite grasp. Lin Xuan had infused a stream of spiritual energy into the Stone Stand at the core of the Spell Formation. At the time, Elemental Spirit was puzzled as to why Lin Xuan would do such a thing. If his intention was to destroy the formation's core, he wouldn't have needed to restrain himself so much when he unleashed that earth-shattering palm strike. It didn't make sense for him not to destroy it then but to make a special trip to do so later. It seemed unnecessarily redundant.    

    

Furthermore, while the Spell Formation was formidable for them, it was a different story for Lin Xuan. It was no match for him—incapable of withstanding even a single blow. There was no need for him to expend so much effort. This led to only one possible explanation. A theory formed in Elemental Spirit's mind: Lin Xuan had come specifically to repair the sect's protective formation. Perhaps the formation was so simple for him that he didn't want to waste too much time on it. A mere stream of spiritual energy from him could easily mend it.    

    

This realization made Elemental Spirit inhale sharply, his heart filled with immense shock. If this theory held true, then Lin Xuan was far more extraordinary than he had ever imagined. Despite his youth, his strength far surpassed the standards of the entire Dongyuan Continent. He had even attained such a lofty level of mastery in the art of Spell Formations. It's well known that mastering Spell Formations is significantly more challenging than martial arts, demanding more dedication, energy, and time. Achieving success in Spell Formations typically means sacrificing progress in martial arts.    

    

Take, for example, the Emperor Level Formation Masters of the Elemental Spirit Sect. Not only are they among the elite within the sect, but they also rank at the pinnacle across the Dongyuan Continent. Yet, their highest level of cultivation barely reaches the Middle stage of Emperor Level, with none at the late period. Even among all the Formation Masters on the continent, those who have attained the late period of Emperor Level are exceedingly rare. For the time being, no one has reached the peak of Emperor Level.    

    

However, this does not imply that Formation Masters possess combat strength inferior to the martial artists of the continent. In reality, despite their years of dedication to studying Spell Formations, which may have limited their combat experience, their combat prowess should not be underestimated. With proper preparation and a well-set Spell Formation, including formation plates and flags, they might stand a chance against a peak Emperor Level opponent. In fact, their ability to fight across ranks could even surpass that of warriors.    

    

For this reason, individuals who pursue both the martial path and the path of Spell Formation are exceedingly rare on the Dongyuan Continent. Mastering even one path is a formidable challenge. Those who overreach, attempting to excel in both without sufficient dedication, risk achieving nothing and living a life of mediocrity. The Dongyuan Continent has witnessed such tragic examples over thousands of years.    

    

Master Elemental Spirit had never imagined that Lin Xuan could be the legendary figure proficient in both martial arts and Spell Formation. His martial prowess is unparalleled on the continent, a genius the likes of which hasn't been seen in millennia. And his skill in Spell Formation appears to be equally exceptional. If this is indeed his handiwork, he has accomplished with a single surge of spiritual energy what many Emperor Level Formation Masters could not achieve despite considerable effort. His mastery of Spell Formation is nothing short of astonishing, transcending the levels seen across the entire Dongyuan Continent.    

    

However, despite some evidence, it remains insufficient to confirm these suspicions. Yet, if true, it would be quite remarkable. After regaining his composure, a smile flickered in Master Elemental Spirit's eyes. Now that the Elemental Spirit Sect has pledged allegiance to Lin Xuan, becoming the Elemental Spirit Hall within the Tianyuan Palace, the prospect of safety and benefits is substantial. With such a formidable senior figure and an enigmatic Formation Master as their protector, the future of the Elemental Spirit Hall looks secure and promising.    

    

"I recall the Hall Master visited before, right? At that time, he infused spiritual energy into the core of the Spell Formation. Did you notice that?"    

    

"Did you notice when the Hall Master infused a strand of spiritual energy into the core of the formation?"    

    

"I did see that. I actually thought the Hall Master was about to destroy the formation's core. With the Hall Master's formidable power, even if the core was destroyed, I wouldn't dare utter a word of protest!"    

    

"However, there didn't seem to be any damage to the formation's core afterward. Not long after the Hall Master left, things changed. Could it be that..."    

    

"Now that you mention it, it does seem possible..."    

    

"No way! It's absolutely impossible!"    

    

"The Hall Master is a martial artist who has exceeded the peak of the Emperor Level. In terms of martial arts, no one on the Dongyuan Continent can match him right now – he's unparalleled, and I acknowledge that.    

    

But to suggest mastery in the ways of Spell Formation as well? That seems unlikely, doesn't it?"    

    

"Indeed. We are Formation Masters who have immersed ourselves in the ways of Spell Formation for decades, even centuries. Aren't we well aware of its complexities?"    

    

"The path of Spell Formation is challenging to begin, intricate to delve into, and even harder to master!"    

    

"Has anyone on our Dongyuan Continent ever achieved greatness in both the martial path and the path of Spell Formation?"    

    

"Exactly. The Hall Master's martial prowess is beyond anything the continent has seen – it's beyond imagination. He must have devoted most of his effort and time to martial arts. How could he have had the time to delve into the Spell Formation path?"    

    

"You've said it yourself – the Hall Master's martial skills are beyond imagination. With such fearsome strength, no one in the Dongyuan Continent has come close in thousands of years since the Middle Ages.    

    

Given that, is it really impossible for him to achieve something unprecedented?"    

    

"For anyone else, I might believe it's impossible, but for the Hall Master, it doesn't seem entirely out of the question, does it?"    

    

"Regardless, I just can't believe it!"    

    

"Neither can I!"    

    

"..."    

    

After a round of discussion, the Formation Masters speculated about the earlier events.    

    

Hall Master Lin Xuan had been present for a while.    

    

And he had indeed infused a strand of spiritual energy into the core of the formation.    

    

At the time, they were seething with anger but dared not speak out. They feared that the heart of the formation was on the brink of destruction. The sect-protecting formation seemed beyond the hope of restoration. Yet, to their astonishment, not much time had passed before the heart of the formation began to repair itself, autonomously sketching out the Formation Marks.    

    

These were all Emperor Level Formation Masters. While repairing an Emperor Level High-grade formation in a short span was beyond their capabilities, they were intimately familiar with this particular formation. Every single Formation Mark was flawlessly correct.    

    

Given these events, how could they not think back to Lin Xuan's earlier actions? None of them possessed such a skill. They were well aware of their own and each other's expertise in Spell Formations. But the notion of the heart of a formation mending itself was preposterous. Such a phenomenon was unheard of, not just in living memory but also absent from ancient texts.    

    

There could only be one explanation for this miraculous occurrence. The reason for this state of affairs was likely due to Lin Xuan's surge of spirit energy. It was his energy that was tracing the Formation Marks and mending the Spell Formation.
