Chapter 586 Talent Determines the Upper Limit

Chapter 586 Talent Determines the Upper Limit

The Dao Ancestors stood on the high platform, gazing into the distant, magnificent sea, continuously pointing and discussing in low voices.

Suddenly.

Dao Ancestor Cangyue asked Li Tianxing,

"Tianxing, when setting up the Crossing Tribulation Formation later, will you still be the one to do it?"

Hearing this,

Li Tianxing couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Dao Ancestor Cangyue having such a thought was actually quite normal.

After all, in everyone's eyes,

in this Immortal Realm,

speaking of Formation attainments,

if Li Tianxing claimed to be second, no one would dare to claim first.

But that was already a thing of the past.

Back then, after looking at Zhang Yuhe's improved version of the Ren Water Lightning Absorption Array,

Li Tianxing no longer dared to be arrogant.

Zhang Yuhe was able to improve an ordinary mortal-grade Formation to such an exaggerated degree;

his attainments in Formations probably surpassed his own long ago, far leading the entire Immortal Realm by now.

Moreover, the entire Crossing Tribulation Formation, from design, improvement, and setup methods to Materials preparation,

and even the final refinement of the Lightning Absorbing Pillars, was completed by Zhang Yuhe all by himself.

Clearly,

in Zhang Yuhe's view, this matter was probably not suitable for others to meddle in.

Of course,

there was another point.

After Li Tianxing looked at the Formation setup methods recorded by Zhang Yuhe on the Jade Slip,

he truly didn't have the confidence to completely set up this Crossing Tribulation Formation.

After Zhang Yuhe's multiple improvements,

the ultimate version of the Ren Water Lightning Absorption Array was simply too complex.

Even though Zhang Yuhe provided a detailed narrative on the Jade Slip,

Li Tianxing still couldn't guarantee that he could pull off this Formation himself.

In the entire Immortal Realm,

perhaps only Zhang Yuhe had such capability.

Li Tianxing silently pondered for a moment, then said with a smile,

"Brother Cangyue thinks too highly of me."

"The complexity of this Formation designed by the Galaxy Immortal King far exceeds imagination."

"Aside from himself, it is probably extremely difficult for anyone else to even understand it, let alone set up the Formation."

Hearing this,

the surrounding Dao Ancestors and Great Emperors couldn't help but feel surprised.

Dao Ancestor Cangyue quickly asked,

"Even you can't do it? Could it be that the Galaxy Immortal King's attainments in Formations are even stronger than yours?"

Li Tianxing shook his head, then slowly spoke,

"The Galaxy Immortal King possesses peerless natural talent, far beyond what we aged fellows can compare to."

"His attainments in Formations surpassed mine long ago."

Speaking of this,

Li Tianxing paused for a moment, then said with a smile,

"You will know after watching later just how magical the Formation set up by the Galaxy Immortal King truly is."

Hearing Li Tianxing's words,

everyone's curiosity was instantly piqued.

Originally, they were already full of anticipation for this Formation capable of supporting the Dao Ancestor Heavenly Tribulation.

Hearing Li Tianxing say this now made them even more curious.

Everyone turned their gazes toward Zhang Yuhe not far away,

wanting to see just how magical this unprecedented peerless Formation was.

Zhang Yuhe stood proudly on the high platform.

Suddenly, he soared into the air, his figure flashing rapidly along the edge of Galaxy Island.

Before setting up the Formation, he still needed to make a final confirmation,

whether this Galaxy Island met the Formation requirements.

If there were any discrepancies, rectifications would be made immediately.

Before long,

Zhang Yuhe returned to the high platform once again.

Seeing him wave his right hand,

the Lightning Absorbing Pillars turned into streams of light, shooting straight toward the edge of the distant island.

A full ten million Lightning Absorbing Pillars, resembling pillars propping up the heavens, stood tall along the edge of Galaxy Island,

piercing straight into the clouds.

So many top-tier Immortal Artifact-grade Lightning Absorbing Pillars were deployed around Galaxy Island.

Even though there were no Formation patterns linking them yet,

the spiritual light faintly emanating from so many Lightning Absorbing Pillars

had already shrouded the entire island.

This was definitely the most grand project in the history of the Immortal Realm,

without a doubt.

Over ten million top-tier Immortal Artifacts,

no one would dare to imagine such a thing.

Even those Dao Ancestor Holy Lands couldn't afford such a massive expenditure of resources.

Zhang Yuhe gazed into the distance, silently confirming whether the positions of the Lightning Absorbing Pillars had been accurately deployed in place.

After quite a while,

Zhang Yuhe took a deep breath.

He quickly soared into the air, slowly extending his right index finger, constantly inscribing in the Void Realm.

Streaks of Formation patterns flashed continuously on his hand.

The Formation patterns were like spiritual light, slowly linking the Lightning Absorbing Pillars together.

The complex Formation patterns in Zhang Yuhe's hands were like a form of art,

traversing across the Void Realm and then hiding beneath the vast sea.

The group of Dao Ancestors and Great Emperors stood quietly on the high platform,

watching various Formation patterns flash continuously on Zhang Yuhe's hands,

causing everyone to be filled with boundless admiration.

As the saying goes, outsiders watch the excitement, while insiders watch the methods.

Naturally, not a single one of the mighty figures who could Cultivate to the Dao Ancestor Realm was a simple character.

Even though some of them hadn't poured too much energy into the Dao of Formations,

their knowledge was still not comparable to ordinary Cultivators.

The Formation patterns inscribed by Zhang Yuhe seemed light yet heavy, simple yet complex.

In fact, every single Formation pattern contained countless possibilities and changes.

For Formation patterns like these,

even inscribing just a single one would require consuming immense mental effort and energy.

Yet Zhang Yuhe acted as if it were nothing at all,

his hands constantly inscribing in the Void Realm,

as easy as drawing an ordinary landscape painting on a piece of white paper.

Such a relaxed and cozy Realm was simply out of their reach.

Li Tianxing quietly watched streaks of Formation patterns flash across the sky,

his heart filled with amazement.

He was also a Formation Great Master,

and had also imagined being like Zhang Yuhe, taking heaven and earth as talisman paper and Formation patterns as brush and ink,

inscribing a supreme Formation.

But he couldn't do it.

This was a higher-level Formation Realm that surpassed his current one.

To be honest,

if he hadn't watched Zhang Yuhe grow all the way to his current Realm step by step,

Li Tianxing would even suspect

that Zhang Yuhe might not even be a person from the Immortal Realm,

perhaps coming from a higher-level world outside the Realm, just like the Nine Provinces Great Power.

But Li Tianxing knew

that Zhang Yuhe was actually just like them, and his starting point was even lower than theirs.

Zhang Yuhe was a Cultivator who ascended to the Immortal Realm from a lower cultivation world.

Although Zhang Yuhe's growth looked extremely incredible,

it still had traces to follow.

This point could not be faked.

As for why Zhang Yuhe's achievements were so exaggerated,

it could only be attributed to his natural talent.

Within the Immortal Realm,

a saying had always been circulating:

"Talent Determines the Upper Limit."

If a person's natural talent is limited,

then no matter how hard they try, and no matter how Heaven-Defying their opportunities are,

it is ultimately very difficult for them to go much further.

Of course,

the natural talent mentioned here does not merely refer to Spiritual Root talent.

Natural talent includes many things.

Besides Spiritual Root talent, it also includes Comprehension Ability, Physique, luck, and even one's character and personality, etc.

Only when there are no major shortcomings in all aspects is it possible to go further.

Otherwise,

if the upper limit of any single aspect is too low,

on the path of seeking the Dao,

one might easily become bogged down and unable to advance, or even fall along the path of the Dao.

As for Zhang Yuhe,

he was clearly a person with perfect natural talent and practically no upper limit.

His upper limit might be infinitely high.

Zhang Yuhe's talent went without saying; it was definitely extremely exaggerated.

Otherwise, he wouldn't Cultivate so fast.

As for his Comprehension Ability, that went even more without saying,

it was definitely even more Heaven-Defying.

Otherwise,

Zhang Yuhe could not possibly have comprehended the Nine Supreme Laws within a mere thirty million years, and even comprehended an additional higher-level power of Law.

Li Tianxing felt that

Zhang Yuhe's Comprehension Ability might be the most Heaven-Defying one in the history of the Immortal Realm.

In the future, it would be impossible for anyone to match Zhang Yuhe in terms of Comprehension Ability.

As for his Physique, it was hard to say.

No one had ever sensed the aura of a special Physique on Zhang Yuhe.

But just because everyone couldn't sense it didn't mean it didn't exist,

it was simply that it hadn't been discovered by others.

The same applied to luck.

By observing Zhang Yuhe's growth journey,

Li Tianxing discovered

that Zhang Yuhe seemed to have had smooth sailing all the way.

He had never encountered any unlucky or uncontrollable matters.

Being free of disasters and tribulations was naturally not just a display of strength, but a sign of extremely good luck.

Clearly,

even if Zhang Yuhe's luck wasn't exceptionally great, it definitely wouldn't be bad.

There was another point, which was his character.

Zhang Yuhe had a resilient and low-key personality.

Even though he had achieved such high accomplishments,

he had never wantonly flaunted himself like other peerless prodigies,

instead always cultivating in silence.

Zhang Yuhe's resilient heart of seeking the Dao was even more persistent than those of old fellows like them.

Aside from cultivating,

Zhang Yuhe almost never wasted too much time on other matters.

Talent, Comprehension Ability, Physique, luck, character—

Zhang Yuhe had virtually no shortcomings,

as if he was born for the Great Dao.

For a figure like him,

Li Tianxing believed

the Immortal Realm was definitely not Zhang Yuhe's ultimate destination.

Perhaps one day,

when Zhang Yuhe stepped beyond the Realm, he could still bloom with dazzling radiance.

This was truly a perfect Cultivator of the Dao.

Thinking of this,

Li Tianxing couldn't help but let out a sigh of envy.
