The Supreme God novel Chapter 238

Standing below the cliff, right on the stone square, Master Yuan threw a dozen or more array flags up into the air. As a consequence, the six stone pillars quavered as did their surroundings.

"They're the array's pulsations!"

Seeing this, everyone present grew excited. They had been hoping that this would be the case, including the two diabolic beasts. With a feverish anticipation, all eyes were now pinned at Master Yuan and his next movement.

Austin was surprised too. Although there were six stone pillars on the stone square that hinted at there being an array, there wasn't a single trace seconding this hunch. But when Master Yuan hurled the array flags, the traces began to reveal themselves. How wonderful an array expert's skill is!

No wonder Master Yuan was just an Earth Realm cultivator, weak in vital energy, the Medicine Sect still needed to ask him for help by offering a substantial reward in return.

Looking around, there were so many incredibly talented people in different fields doing their bit all over the world. As was Master Yuan. In fact, right now, without Master Yuan's array skill, the Medicine Sect people and the two diabolical beasts would have had hard time finding out an array hidden in the six stone pillars even if they went to great lengths.

So Master Yuan's discovery was like an animal finding a source of water in the forest. Much needed and cooling! Relief was clear on the crowd's face but Master Yuan, who was dressed from head to toe in a grey garb, was serious, not betraying a single emotion.

"At the entrance of the Cloud Cave, a level five array can be found. How extraordinary!"

A LEVEL-FIVE array!

The superiority of the array was a blow to their morale and a trigger for a hundred questions in their mind.

How was a level-five array even conceived? Logically, such a powerful array could only be set up by an array expert of the same degree.

It was common to meet a level one and a level two array expert. Level three array experts, like Master Yuan, not only enjoyed great reputation for being so accomplished but were coveted by the major forces in the cultivators' world.

And level four array experts… they were grand masters of the field and naturally, so precious that only a handful of the greatest sects in the world could afford to invite them.

Now when it came to the level five array expert. They were superior above the others. Superlative in their skills and such a rare breed that most ordinary cultivators would never even meet an array master of this stature in their entire lives.

The protecting array of the Cloud Cave, to everyone's dismay, was a level-five. It was an unsaid thing that it would take a prodigy to break it.

"No wonder even after working for about half a year on this, I have made zero progress on the six stone pillars. Damn it! I didn't expect it to be a level-five array."

the three-eyed scarlet bull exclaimed in agitation.

"If the defense of the Cloud Cave is really a level-five array, it means that, Master Yuan, there is no chance that we'd be able to break the array, not even with your skills, right?"

the Chief Elder of the Medicine Sect asked, with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

After this candid utterance, the truth dawned upon the ordinary cultivators as well. They realized what a terrible situation this was! The highly revered Master Yuan was also just a level three array expert, so he too couldn't crack the level-five array with his limited abilities.

The two diabolic beasts were enraged at this realization. They viciously stared at Master Yuan with their scarlet pupils for they had been staying here working on the entrance of this cave for the last six months and had gained nothing. It had been a struggle to get an array expert of Master Yuan and now when even he could not solve the problem, they were close to going on a rampage.

"Although it is quite difficult, with your help and cooperation, I feel there is still a chance for me to crack it."

Master Yuan had been engaged in observing the array fluctuation that was coming from the stone pillars. When he heard the Chief Elder's question, he felt he knew what was to be done.

This was such an unexpected and welcome news! They immediately felt relieved and upbeat about the array. Although they didn't know why Master Yuan expressed such confidence in solving it, his face was as solemn and determined as before.

"That's good to hear, Master Yuan! It seems that you have many hidden skills up your sleeve. No one could have guessed that you can even crack level five arrays.".

This would make for an incredible feat if a level three array expert could crack a level five array.

"Sir, please don't flatter me. Let's look at the facts. We know that this is a level five array but from my reading of the situation, I see, that the people who set this up seem to have little knowledge about setting up arrays.

From what I can understand, the person who did this might have obtained a level-five array formation from somewhere and then weaved this array by superficial means. Since he wasn't thorough in his process, I can see some mistakes he made as clear as the day.

Adding all of this up, perhaps this level five array only has the power of a level three array at most. Which is why I would like to have a go at it."

The crowd was amazed by how sharp Master Yuan was.

"It looks like the Great Sage Cloud was utterly ignorant of arrays, despite his cultivation base being extraordinary.

I see no other reason why he would have made these mistakes when creating the defending array for the cave."

"So, how should we begin, Master Yuan?"

The Steward Meng of the Medicine Sect asked promptly. He was the most anxious among all. He had been patiently hearing each and every word of Master Yuan but now decided to ask him the crux of the matter directly.

"Hmm...I still need some time to figure out a complete solution to this array. Please wait. I reckon, at most it'll take a day to figure out an effective solution to break up this array."

Hearing a definitive timeline, everyone present quietly moved away so as to not waste the precious time Master Yuan had. Though they still had many questions to ask Master Yuan, they knew all they could do now was to patiently wait and watch.

Without further ado, Master Yuan started his study. First he walked around the six stone pillars and scribbled down his observations, then he measured something on the stone ground with his fingers.

Still, what was whirring inside his mind only he knew. By this time, the two diabolic beasts removed themselves from the others of the Medicine Sect and sat down at some distance to close their eyes and peacefully rest. The two Elders and the Steward Meng of the Medicine Sect also sat down with their legs crossed to rest and cultivate their spirits.
