Chapter 486: Enhanced Formation

“It’s done!”

Lu Ye let out a long shout of delight.

Good grief, fifty years, huh!

After the system’s simulation, Lu Ye followed its instructions and upgraded his right arm without a single misstep.

And just like that, it took a full fifty years to complete.

But the moment it was finished, Lu Ye felt his body transcending, especially his right arm, which felt like it was brimming with overwhelming power.

Let’s say a number!

One thousand dragons!

Lu Ye raised his right arm, sensing the most surging and terrifying wave within, and took a deep breath.

He clenched his fist.

Who’s up for a test run?

Just one!

But then it hit him that he didn’t even have an enemy around, super annoying!

He couldn’t just grab Qing Xuan Daoist for a test, could he?

Glancing at his remaining treasures, after exhausting most of what he got from the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace, he had managed to snag a Nine Extremities-level gem—definitely a treasure-eating operation.

But the gains were huge.

In this state, one punch would probably shatter someone at the Shattering Realm without any issues.

That’s like leaping over three major realms.

It was kind of absurd, but Lu Ye loved it.

The Nine Extremities Realm had already reached its peak.

Breakthrough!

Lu Ye easily broke through from the Nine Extremities Realm to the Xumi Realm.

He witnessed subtle changes in the world around him, with countless particles appearing before his eyes.

This was the wonder of the Xumi Realm.

Lu Ye glanced at his Primordial Force and saw a massive density of particles, hundreds of times denser than when he broke through in his last life.

The difference was staggering.

In short, it was exhilarating!

But the thrill was short-lived as Lu Ye began plotting his money-making schemes.

Alchemy?

Sure!

Lu Ye exited his seclusion and notified Ning Tianming and Mu He.

Everything was in place; now he just needed to systematically produce Dan Pills.

As he churned out pills for sale, demand skyrocketed.

After experiencing Lu Ye’s Premium Origins Dan, eating any other Origin Dan felt like torture.

But this time, Lu Ye wasn’t just doing alchemy; he was expanding his brand.

Artifact Forging!

Improving cultivation methods!

Enhancing formations!

Treating difficult ailments!

Crafting advanced Dan Pills!

Whatever job you could think of, Lu Ye could handle it.

Of course, the prices were steep!

Soon enough, Lu Ye started getting appointments.

“Master, the Nine Heart Sect requests your help to enhance their formation, offering five million Source Stones!”

Five million? Not bad!

Lu Ye considered the other’s position. “Have them prepare the materials I need. Once they’re ready, bring out the Source Stones, and I’ll come over.”

“Understood!”

Before long, the five million Source Stones were transferred.

Lu Ye transformed into a bright streak of light while the other six Lu Yes continued with their alchemy.

In just a quarter of an hour, Lu Ye arrived at the Nine Heart Sect.

The atmosphere there was tense; disagreements with other powers can end in disaster when the opposing side was stronger, so they were shelling out big bucks to improve their formation.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lu Ye!”

The Nine Heart Sect Master hurriedly greeted him.

Lu Ye nodded, “Where’s the stuff I need?”

“Right here, right here!”

Lu Ye grabbed the materials and melded into the formation, causing it to go dark instantly.

The faces of the Nine Heart Sect crew paled.

The opposing force quickly noticed this and their strong members rushed toward the Nine Heart Sect, a massive pressure bearing down on them.

The force was called Tianyuan Sect, both of which had historical repute.

“Hahaha, looks like the Nine Heart Sect has given up; even their protective formation has been deactivated. Let’s not be polite—kill!”

They wasted no time and were ready to attack.

The Nine Heart Sect’s members looked alarmed.

At this moment, Lu Ye floated out, looking toward the members of Tianyuan Sect.

Tianyuan Sect Master???

“Stop!”

“Stop it right now!”

He shouted loudly, filled with fear and panic.

Tianyuan’s strongmen halted immediately.

“Lu… Lu Daoist, what’s going on? We had no idea you had ties with the Nine Heart Sect. We’ll leave right away and won’t bother them again, please forgive us…” the Tianyuan Sect Master quickly said.

Lu Ye casually waved his hand.

“No need to panic, I’m just here to get paid and improve their formation a bit. You can fight after I’m done with the upgrade, how about that?” Lu Ye said with a grin.

“N-no… we won’t fight, we won’t fight…”

Lu Ye frowned.

How could they show off the power of the enhanced formation if they didn’t fight?

“Ah, we’ll fight! After you upgrade the formation, we’ll continue!”

“Yes, that’s more like it. Just wait a moment; I’m quick and won’t hold you up from brawling!”

Lu Ye resumed working on the formation as two sects’ strongmen exchanged dumbfounded glances.

Tianyuan Sect was stuck, neither leaving nor staying.

But Lu Ye really moved fast; in just a quarter of an hour, the formation’s barrier rose again, enveloping many Nine Heart Sect strongmen.

Lu Ye stepped outside the formation and looked at Tianyuan Sect.

“Give it your all; let me see how effective the enhancements are!” Lu Ye declared.

The Tianyuan strongmen…

“What are you standing around for? Attack!”

“Are we really going to attack?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve only taken money for enhancing the formation; I’ll stay out of the rest!”

“Alright!”

“Let’s attack, kill!”

With a command, the numerous Tianyuan Sect strongmen launched their assaults.

Previously, their attacks were heavily charged, making the formation tremble, needing their powerful members to intervene just to hold it together.

But now, every attack hitting the formation felt like it was sinking into the ocean—just a ripple without any real effect.

The Nine Heart Sect members watched in confusion.

What’s going on here?

What were these guys doing?

They manipulated the formation, which had burned through Source Stones rapidly earlier, taking every effort to maintain; it was now effortlessly stable.

Everyone felt relaxed, their True Essence flowed smoothly into the formation.

The burning speed of Source Stones was also several times slower than before.

Several times!

What previously consumed hundreds of Source Stones in a breath now barely used a fraction.

What a difference!

Or were the Tianyuan Sect holding back, scared of embarrassing themselves in front of Lu Ye?

Tianyuan Sect was baffled.

This didn’t make sense!

They were putting in effort too!

Why was the formation only slightly reacting?

With such little fluctuation, breaking this formation would require superhuman effort!

No!

They couldn’t even dream of breaking it!

Lu Ye was pleased with this enhancement. Since he improved the Grand Dao Sect’s formation last time, he hadn’t modified any more formations.

Wait, he did refine formations while wiping out enemies too.

It felt like ages ago, and now it seemed his skills hadn’t deteriorated.

“Keep fighting; if the results are good, don’t forget to spread the word about my prowess—I’m off!”

Lu Ye vanished.

After he left, the Tianyuan Sect members looked at each other in confusion.

“Use all your strength; I don’t believe the formation can become this robust in such a short time!”

They unleashed even more ferocious attacks.

But the formation still showed minimal response, serene as could be.

“Master, it seems like the Tianyuan Sect folks are indeed using all their might…”
