No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right? - Chapter 180
Chapter 180: Oh Dear, Su Changyu Really Knows How To Set Up Array Formations?
“Come out and watch the show.”
“Second Senior Brother, hurry up and come out.”
“Fourth Junior Brother, stop studying talismans, hurry up and come out.”
“Fifth Junior Brother, stop poking paper effigies, come out and watch the show.”
“Master, come out quickly, I’m going toe-to-toe against Eldest Senior Brother.”
“Lingrou, stop reading, come out and watch.”
In Qingyun Dao Sect, Wang Zhuoyu’s voice broke the peace in the Dao Sect.
“What’s the matter? What’s going on? What happened?”
“Third Senior Brother, what’s the matter with you?”
“How do you know that I’m poking paper effigies?”
“What’s there to watch?”
Xu Luochen, Xue Zhuan, Lin Bei, and Chen Lingrou came out of the room one after another, looking at all this with curiosity on their faces.
Daoist Tai Hua also came out of the room and stared at Wang Zhuoyu with a frown.
“Master, Second Senior Brother, I’m not trying to create trouble but Eldest Senior Brother is being too much of a bully.”
“He said that I am a good-for-nothing in array formations.”
Wang Zhuoyu said furiously with a flushed face.
However, after he said that, everyone seemed rather bizarre.
In particular, Daoist Tai Hua seemed extremely puzzled because he felt that there was nothing wrong with that.
Sensing the peculiar gazes, Wang Zhuoyu was slightly stunned.
“Eldest Senior Brother even said that Second Senior Brother has spent more than a decade learning alchemy in vain.”
“He said that Lin Bei and Xue Zhan are both wastrels who are wasting the sect’s food.”
“He also said that Lingrou daydreams all day long.”
Wang Zhuoyu began to make up nonsense.
Everyone was stunned after hearing what he said.
“Eldest Senior Brother actually said that about me?”
“Okay, I didn’t say that Eldest Senior Brother is a good-for-nothing and yet he called me a wastrel?”
“Hmph, he said that I daydream all day long? Does he not daydream?”
Everyone was furious and spoke up one after another.
“Sect Leader, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Chen Lingrou puffed her cheeks up in anger but she realized at Daoist Tai Hua seemed very calm.
Outside the room, Daoist Tai Hua was stunned to hear Chen Lingrou’s voice.
He didn’t know how to explain.
Well, he felt that what Su Changyu said was right.
Wang Zhuoyu who was near them, seemed to know what Daoist Tai Hua was thinking. At this moment, he gritted his teeth and spoke up.
“Master, don’t laugh, Eldest Senior Brother criticized you too. He said that all you do is do divination that isn’t accurate and yet you still think that you’re good at it.”
“He also said it’s a good thing that you didn’t teach Ye Ping divination. Otherwise, he’ll become a good-for-nothing too.”
Wang Zhuoyu went all out.
Anyway, he couldn’t take it lying down so he decided to let everyone be upset together with him.
Indeed, Daoist Tai Hua’s expression changed drastically after hearing that.
“Did that sinful disciple say that?”
No matter what Wang Zhuoyu said before, Daoist Tai Hua did not feel anything, and he instead felt that Su Changyu was right.
However, when he was involved, Daoist Tai Hua couldn’t accept it.
He looked at Wang Zhuoyu in exasperation, thinking that Su Changyu should not dare to say so.
However, at this moment, Wang Zhuoyu could no longer be bothered. Since he was going to frame them, he decided to go all out.
“Master, what I said is absolutely true. If you don’t believe me, come with me to the rear cliff and you’ll know.”
Wang Zhuoyu said with a serious expression.
Everyone looked at Wang Zhuoyu’s expression and felt that he was indeed not lying. Hence, they were all furious.
“Let’s go to the rear cliff, I shall see if Su Changyu is going to rebel.”
Daoist Tai Hua said seriously.
“Yes, yes, go over there and see what Eldest Senior Brother said. If he really said that, replace him. Master, I’m not trying to sow discord.”
“Eldest Senior Brother doesn’t really think he’s a peerless expert, does he?”
“Seems like he has deceived himself.”
Everyone said.
While speaking, he walked towards the rear cliff.
Just like that, in less than 15 minutes, everyone arrived with Wang Zhuoyu taking the lead.
In fact, even Da Xu was there.
On the rear cliff, Su Changyu looked at them quietly with shock in his eyes.
He didn’t expect Wang Zhuoyu to have called everyone to come over.
At the thought of this, Su Changyu was a little furious.
‘Sure, Wang Zhuoyu, you really want to do it for real, huh?’
‘Okay, I’ll remember this now. Let’s go on.’
‘One day, you will land in my hands.’
Su Changyu secretly thought to himself, but before he could speak, Daoist Tai Hua interjected.
“Changyu, Zhuoyu told me that you were saying behind my back that my divination is inaccurate and that I get up to tricks all the time?”
Daoist Tai Hua questioned with a stern expression. He didn’t entirely believe Wang Zhuoyu’s words and hence asked.
On the other hand, Xu Luochen spoke too.
“Eldest Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother also said that you said that I spent over a decade learning alchemy in vain, right?”
“Eldest Senior Brother, did you say that me and Xue Zhan are good-for-nothings?”
“Eldest Senior Brother, did you also scold me and say that I should stop daydreaming?”
Everyone chimed in and Su Changyu was dumbfounded.
‘What are you guys saying?’
‘What do you mean learned alchemy in vain?’
‘What wastrels?’
‘What get up to tricks all the time?’
‘That might be true but I’ve never said those things before.’
All of a sudden, Su Changyu couldn’t help but look at Wang Zhuoyu and soon figured out what happened.
‘This guy must have been spreading rumors everywhere.’
‘No wonder Master and the rest came over.’ At the thought of this, Su Changyu couldn’t help but want to explain.
However, it sounded different from what he intended.
“Am I wrong?”
His voice was very calm, and coupled with his indifferent gaze and elegance, he seemed to be contemptuous.
He inhaled sharply.
Everyone gasped. To be honest, they didn’t believe that Su Changyu would say such words at first.
Otherwise, they would have brought their weapons to deal with him.
However, they didn’t expect that Su Changyu had really said that.
No one expected it at all, especially Wang Zhuoyu who had merely made things up for the sake of bringing everyone over.
However, he didn’t expect Su Changyu to be so arrogant.
‘He must be mad. Eldest Senior Brother must have gone mad.’
“Oh dear, Eldest Senior Brother really thinks of himself as a supreme expert.”
“I’ve always admired you as a Senior Brother, but I never thought that you’d think of me in such a manner.”
“Master, I didn’t expect him to humiliate you too. I’m not the type to create trouble but I can’t tolerate this either.”
Everyone felt that Su Changyu was being too boastful.
They could accept Su Changyu’s boasting but he had gone overboard by doing it to them too.
For Da Xu who was clueless about the truth, Su Changyu was indeed pretending to be impressive.
“Seems like the head disciple of the Qingyun Dao Sect really has to be replaced.”
Daoist Tai Hua was a little angry too. He wouldn’t comment much about Su Changyu’s usual pretentiousness, but he didn’t expect Su Changyu to go overboard.
He had to stop him from having such bad habits.
However, Su Changyu was also confused as he felt that his illness was getting worse.
He was now pretending in front of the people he knew too.
He wanted to explain, but as soon as he said it, his words turned out differently from what he expected.
“Enough, Zhuoyu, don’t you want to compete in array formations? Since everyone is here, I’ll let you know what it means to be a genius in array formations.”
Su Changyu said indifferently.
After hearing that, Wang Zhuoyu could not help but sneer.
He refused to believe that Su Changyu could set up an array formation without using anything, just like what Ye Ping did.
If Su Changyu could set up array formations with array artifacts and materials, Wang Zhuoyu swore that he would quit practicing array formations.
“Eldest Senior Brother, please.”
“Eldest Senior Brother, do you need an array diagram? I can give you some time, be it one or three months. As long as you can set it up, I’ll obey you without complaints in the future.”
Wang Zhuoyu said with a serious expression.
On the other hand, Su Changyu shook his head and looked at the sky before speaking slowly.
“A true array formation master doesn’t need any external objects at all. Array artifacts, array diagrams, and array materials are all burdensome.”
“A real array formation is all about being natural. A real array formation master can use everything in this world as his array artifact, array diagram, and material.”
Standing on top of the rear cliff, Su Changyu sounded extremely calm and looked rather mysterious too.
After hearing Su Changyu’s words, Wang Zhuoyu and the others all could not help but sneer.
Da Xu was the only one who was the most shocked.
As a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, Da Xu still knew some things about the Dao of array formations. Although he did not understand it well, he understood the basic theory of array formations.
Array artifact, array material, and array diagrams were the core materials of array formations and not a single one could be missing.
Without them, it would be impossible to set up the array formation.
If someone else said that, Da Xu would definitely slap him, but when Su Changyu was the one who said it, Da Xu somehow felt that Su Changyu was a supreme expert.
“Eldest Senior Brother, there’s no point in saying that much. Just set up an array formation and show it to me.”
Wang Zhuoyu sneered, not wanting to continue talking about nonsense with Su Changyu.
When he was teaching Ye Ping, he could spout nonsense.
He could lie to Ye Ping but not to Wang Zhuoyu.
Hearing what Wang Zhuoyu said, Su Changyu was troubled.
To be honest, he did not want to argue with Wang Zhuoyu, and after they bickered, his bad habit acted up and things escalated out of control.
However, after seeing Wang Zhuoyu’s behavior, he was indeed infuriated.
No matter what, he would always be the Eldest Senior Brother of the Qingyun Dao Sect. Yet, Wang Zhuoyu was shaming him again and again.
‘You keep pushing your limits, do you really think I don’t have a temper?’
At the thought of this, Su Changyu couldn’t help but say, “What array formation do you want me to set up?”
Su Changyu asked.
“It’s up to you.”
Wang Zhuoyu said casually. Anyway, he couldn’t set it up so it didn’t matter what array formation it was.
Su Changyu did not have any change in expression as he just closed his eyes.
He seemed to be comprehending something.
Wang Zhuoyu and others did not seem curious or shocked. In their opinion, Su Changyu was closing his eyes, all for the sake of pretending to be impressive and to stall for time.
They knew such tactics very well.
On the rear cliff, Su Changyu was indeed stalling for time as he was anxious and at a loss for what to do.
‘What do I do? What do I do?’
‘Oh dear, oh dear.’
‘This is so embarrassing, Su Changyu, Su Changyu, why do you have to pretend in front of people you know too?’
‘You really don’t think it’s embarrassing?’
Su Changyu was really almost crying.
‘Is this considered a backfire?’
For two whole hours, even Daoist Tai Hua frowned, let alone Wang Zhuoyu.
In fact, they also knew that Su Changyu was just pretending.
Theoretically, it would be fine to give Su Changyu an out.
However, when they thought about what Su Changyu just said, the crowd didn’t feel the urge to be magnanimous to him.
On the rear cliff, Su Changyu stood for two hours, but he realized that no one was giving him an out.
At this moment, Su Changyu knew he had provoked them.
However, after thinking about it, Su Changyu was also furious.
He had indeed gone overboard with the pretense.
However, no matter what, it was not a big deal and he felt that there was no need for them to embarrass him.
Besides, it was all Daoist Tai Hua’s fault because if he hadn’t told him to go teach Ye Ping, he wouldn’t have pretended.
At this point, Su Changyu got angrier and angrier.
In the end, Su Changyu opened his eyes and decided to go all out even if he had to embarrass himself.
“Array formation!”
Su Changyu said on the rear cliff. He wasn’t too loud but his voice was full of energy.
Su Changyu’s thoughts were simple.
Even if he had to be embarrassed, so be it. He would walk away after saying that and just pretend that nothing happened. At most, he would not come out for the time being.
However, Su Changyu was not spouting nonsense as he remembered that when Ye Ping was setting up the array formation, he had at least brought some Spirit Stones with him but Su Changyu didn’t.
A voice sounded.
Everyone couldn’t help but be stunned.
In particular, Wang Zhuoyu also somehow felt embarrassed. Although he was furious at Su Changyu for saying those words, he regretted it a little after Su Changyu spoke.
After all, Su Changyu valued pride the most, and if Su Changyu bore a grudge against him for shaming him, he would be in trouble.
At the thought of this, Wang Zhuoyu couldn’t help but think about how to give him an out.
However, in an instant, various streams of spiritual energy surged over from the rear cliff.
The terrifying spiritual energy filled the entire Qingyun Dao Sect.
Everyone’s expressions changed.
Before they had time to react, array patterns appeared under their feet all of a sudden.
The dazzling array patterns emitted a radiant light and the entire Qingyun Dao Sect was full of golden array patterns.
“What’s going on here?”
“What happened?”
‘What’s going on?’
The crowd was stunned, and Daoist Tai Hua was also confused, not knowing what had happened.
Even Su Changyu on the back cliff was a little confused.
He was not sure what was happening and panicked.
However, there were two people in the Qingyun Dao Sect who instantly understood what had happened.
‘Array formation!’
‘Array formations.’
‘This is an array formation?’
The first to react was Da Xu who was after all a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. Hence, he naturally knew what was happening.
The second one who reacted was Wang Zhuoyu.
As an array formation master, he couldn’t possibly not know what was happening.
When an array formation appeared, array patterns would appear.
The array patterns on the ground represented the awakening of an array formation.
At this moment, Wang Zhuoyu froze.
He looked at Su Changyu with his eyes full of astonishment and disbelief.
‘Is Eldest Senior Brother really proficient in array formations?’
Besides, he really didn’t need any array artifacts or material or even an array diagram.
‘This is too exaggerated.’
The fact that Ye Ping did not use an array artifact or material was already exaggerated enough.
However, they did not expect that the wastrel Su Changyu would be able to really set up an array formation.
He didn’t need those items either.
‘Must you be so exaggerated?’
‘Is it this outrageous?’
‘Did you cheat together with Ye Ping?’
‘Eldest Senior Brother, don’t, you’ll end up on the God roll.’
“Eldest Senior Brother, what kind of array formation did you set up?”
However, Wang Zhuoyu soon felt that something was amiss and asked Su Changyu what array formation he had set up.
After hearing what Wang Zhuoyu said, Su Changyu was stunned.
‘What kind of array formation did I set up?’
‘Are you humiliating me now?’
‘Sure, Wang Zhuoyu, I didn’t expect you to have such a deep resentment towards me.’
‘So much for thinking that I should give in to you all the time since you’re my junior brother. Indeed, you have a grudge against me.’
Su Changyu did not know that he had set up the array formation and thought something strange had happened.
Hence, after hearing what Wang Zhuoyu said again, he thought Wang Zhuoyu was humiliating him.
“This seems to be a… Teleportation Array. Senior Changyu, where are you trying to teleport us to?”
Da Xu was worthy of being a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. He immediately sensed that this was a Teleportation Array and hence quickly asked.
He was curious about where they were going to be teleported to.
“What? Array formation?”
“Changyu, cut it out, hurry and put away the array formation.”
“Does Eldest Senior Brother really know how to set up array formations?”
“Oh my goodness, I thought Eldest Senior Brother was just a wastrel, but I didn’t expect him to actually know how to set up array formations.”
“Oh dear, Eldest Senior Brother knows how to set up array formations now. Doesn’t that mean I have to learn sword techniques too?”
Xu Luochen, Xue Zhuan, Lin Bei and the others couldn’t help but speak up, while Daoist Tai Hua immediately told Su Changyu to put the array formation away.
Regardless of whether Su Changyu really knew how to set up the array formation or not, it was better to put it away first.
The array formation was not a joking matter. If one was lucky, it would be fine, but if not, they might be sent to the den of demonic beasts.
Hearing Daoist Tai Hua’s voice, Su Changyu was confused.
He didn’t even know how to set up an array formation, let alone put it away.
He didn’t know how to retract it.
However, before Su Changyu could say anything…
In an instant, the terrifying aura rolled up, turning into a beam of white light and everyone on the rear cliff vanished.
There was complete silence in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
At the same time, in Kṣitigarbha Pavilion of the Jin Nation Academy,
Ye Ping was reading and couldn’t help but frown.
For some reason, he was a little bit distracted.
He did not know what was happening but he somehow felt ill at ease. He couldn’t even continue reading.
“Is there going to be danger in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament?”
Ye Ping asked with a frown.
He felt that something terrible had happened.
However, he did not know what happened and could only guess that it was something about the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.
After pondering for a while, Ye Ping still didn’t have any clue.
He finally found a quiet place.
He took out the insights that Lin Bei and Xue Zhuan had given him.
He then read them.
