C758 36 Secret Formations

Woo Zhengyang couldn't quite explain why he was able to endure the Void Power for so long, nor did he dwell on it. Instead, he shared his discovery with Bing Yue.

The concept of shattering the void is a distant topic. People don't usually delve into it unless they've reached a certain level. However, it's not too complicated to explain, and Bing Yue quickly grasped the idea.

"So, does this mean the might of the Void Power is beyond the reach of even the Martial Emperors?" Bing Yue asked, puzzled.

"Not exactly," Woo Zhengyang replied. "The so-called shattering of the void by Martial Emperors isn't the true void. Just because they can't break it doesn't mean they can't touch or comprehend it."

"True, otherwise there wouldn't be rumors of people understanding the Void Power," Bing Yue agreed.

"It's great if you can comprehend it, but don't worry if you can't. Think about the vast difference between us and the Ancestor of the Profound Mountain, or even the Martial Emperors. This is a power that even the Martial Emperors can't shatter, and the Profound Mountain can't fully control. Whether you can comprehend it depends entirely on chance."

"Got it. But I have a feeling, Mr. Zhengyang, that you'll definitely gain some insight. The time ahead is yours—whether you want to comprehend or rest, I'm here to support you fully."

Even though Bing Yue was back and fully supporting Woo Zhengyang, he didn't rush to comprehend the void. He wanted to understand what the void truly was.

Regarding the truth about the Void Power, Bing Yue had only a partial understanding, so relying on her for answers was out of the question. Woo Zhengyang turned his hopes to the insights of Patriarch Fuxi, whose life’s reflections were vast and all-encompassing, far beyond just the art of formations.

After searching for half a day, Woo Zhengyang found a few mentions of the void by Fuxi, but none were detailed enough to be meaningful. An hour later, Woo Zhengyang opened his weary eyes. Such searching was exhausting, and even with his strong Soul Energy, he had to take a break.

While Woo Zhengyang was searching for records about the void, Bing Yue stayed by his side, keeping an eye on the Void Stone. When she saw Woo Zhengyang open his eyes, looking exhausted, she quickly offered him some spirit fruit she had prepared. "Zhengyang, have some fruit and take a break!"

"Alright," Woo Zhengyang replied, taking a bite of the fruit. He asked, "Any sign of the Void Stone getting closer?"

"There was, but it didn't get close enough to be pulled in before it drifted away again. It's so frustrating watching it from below, wanting to just reach out and grab it," Bing Yue said, exasperated.

"Some things can't be forced. Don't worry too much about it," Woo Zhengyang advised.

"Hey, Mr. Zhengyang, don't worry too much. We've only just begun to understand the power of the void. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

After a brief conversation, Woo Zhengyang immersed himself once again in the insights of Patriarch Fuxi's jade slip. He understood that he couldn't rush this process, but he was already deeply engrossed. With each search, he uncovered more about the void, and his fascination with this mysterious existence only grew.

Another half-hour passed, and Woo Zhengyang had nearly scanned all of Patriarch Fuxi's insights. There were many descriptions of the void, but few delved deeply into it.

"Could it be that even Patriarch Fuxi never truly understood the void?" Woo Zhengyang thought, feeling a bit disappointed.

Soon, he finished reviewing the entire jade slip without finding the content he sought.

Wait, there's one more place I haven't checked! Woo Zhengyang suddenly remembered.

This last unchecked section was the most crucial and hidden part of the jade slip. Among the myriad of formations, there were thirty-six that stood apart from the ordinary ones, including the commonly known teleportation array. These were called the Thirty-Six Secret Formations or the Thirty-Six Divine Formations.

Even the ancestor of formations, Fuxi, held these thirty-six formations in high regard, setting them apart in the jade slip. He clearly noted that one should not study these thirty-six formations without fully understanding the ordinary ones. These formations defy conventional logic and even contradict the regular formations. Mixing them could easily lead to confusion and getting lost in the complexity.

Woo Zhengyang was bold, but he never underestimated others. Since even Patriarch Fuxi had given such specific instructions, there was clearly a special reason behind it. Although Woo Zhengyang had always been curious, he managed to suppress his curiosity and refrained from probing into the secret.

However, now, driven by another wave of curiosity, Woo Zhengyang found it hard to resist. "I won't look closely, just search for any mention of the Void! Yes, I definitely won't look at anything else..." Woo Zhengyang reassured himself.

Finally, Woo Zhengyang's soul energy slowly entered that mysterious realm. He initially thought that the thirty-six formations were just a small part of the entire insights contained in the jade slip. Upon entering, he realized he was wrong.

Compared to the vast insights on formations outside, this place was even more extensive, to the point of being astonishing. Hadn't the founding ancestor of formations devoted his life to ordinary formations? Why did it seem that Patriarch Fuxi had invested more effort into researching these thirty-six formations than into the countless ordinary ones?

No, something was off...

It seemed like there was more than just the thirty-six formations here. Woo Zhengyang took a quick glance and confirmed that this core area indeed documented thirty-six formations. But beyond those, there were numerous other records, categorized and labeled with names and directions. Some had only a few simple sentences, while others were several times more extensive than the thirty-six formations, yet they were marked as incomplete...

Woo Zhengyang hadn't even delved deeply into the research when just the names and directions left him stunned. He started to question if all his life experiences had been for nothing. Many common objects and phenomena, which no one had ever paid attention to, had been studied by Patriarch Fuxi for who knows how many years. The findings were likely enough to overturn long-held beliefs.

There were also many profound concepts Woo Zhengyang had never heard of, giving him a new perspective on the world. The world is vast, beyond imagination. No matter how much power you wield, like splitting mountains or parting seas, in the grand scheme of things, it's just a small gesture. It's like an ant on the vast earth; no matter how much it struggles, it can't shake the ground even a little.
