From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 177 Dawn of the Spirit Array: Mission Accomplished

That powerful surge of spiritual energy, like a surging tide, almost swallowed me whole.

I felt a chill run down my spine and instinctively took a step back.

A bright light shone brightly at the center of the formation, so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

The array master's expression was solemn as he rapidly formed hand seals, attempting to suppress the surging spiritual energy.

I was about to step forward to help when I suddenly felt the surrounding spiritual energy become chaotic.

My body swayed uncontrollably, as if it would be torn apart by this force at any moment.

"What's going on?" I was shocked and quickly steadied myself, only to find that I couldn't move.

"Haha, Xiao Yao, do you really think you can break the spirit array? You're dreaming!" A sharp voice came from behind me. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Yunfei standing not far away with a smug look on his face, holding a spirit stone that was shimmering with a strange light in his hand.

"This 'Disruptive Spirit Stone' can disrupt the surrounding spiritual energy. Let's see how you break the array's core now!"

The surrounding disciples gasped in shock. They were all aware of the power of the Chaotic Spirit Stone. Under these circumstances, let alone breaking the array's core, even maintaining balance would be extremely difficult.

I cursed Li Yunfei in my heart for being despicable, but there was nothing I could do.

His body was shaky, as if he would fall down at any moment.

"Xiao Yao, I told you you couldn't do it. A good-for-nothing without spiritual roots, you think you can break an ancient spiritual array? You're really overestimating yourself!" Su Yao's voice rang out again, full of sarcasm and disdain.

I gritted my teeth, endured the physical discomfort, and tried my best to adjust my state.

A surge of anger burned within me; I absolutely could not give up like this!

“Xiao Yao…” The array master looked at me with worry, his eyes filled with helplessness.

He knew that with the interference of the Chaotic Spirit Stone, it was almost impossible for me to succeed.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in my heart.

Success or failure hinges on this moment; I cannot let these distractions affect me.

I closed my eyes, sensing the chaotic spiritual energy around me, trying to find a pattern.

“Girl…” A deep voice sounded in my ear.

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw the array master staring intently at me, saying slowly and deliberately, "Time is running out..."

Time seemed to stand still, and the words of the Array Master exploded in my ears like a thunderclap.

Elder Murong also said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yao, time is running out. If you cannot break the formation, please leave." Although his tone was calm, it carried an undeniable authority.

leave?

A sense of resentment welled up inside me. I had put in so much effort, how could I just give up like this?

The pressure was like a mountain pressing down on my shoulders, and I could barely breathe.

Although the array master did not stop Li Yunfei, his scrutinizing gaze made me feel more uncomfortable than any reprimand.

I know he has high expectations for me, and I can't let him down.

Li Yunfei wore a mocking smile, as if he had already foreseen my defeat.

Su Yao then fanned the flames from the side: "Xiao Yao, give up, you have no chance of succeeding!"

I gritted my teeth and forced myself to calm down.

The interference from the chaotic spirit stones is indeed very strong, but that doesn't mean I have no chance.

I closed my eyes and focused all my attention on the fluctuations of spiritual energy around me.

The chaotic spiritual energy was like countless tiny needles, pricking my nerves.

I tried to find the patterns and clarify them.

Time passed second by second, and fine beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.

My body was still swaying, as if it would be torn apart by this violent spiritual power at any moment.

But a raging fire ignited in my heart. I must not give up. I must succeed!

Suddenly, I sensed a faint fluctuation, completely different from the violent spiritual energy around me.

Although the fluctuation was faint, it was unusually stable, like a beacon in the darkness.

I was overjoyed and immediately focused my attention on this slight fluctuation.

"Found it!" I thought to myself.

This slight fluctuation is the key to the formation's core.

I took a deep breath, trying to control my trembling body, and slowly poured the spiritual energy within me into this fluctuation.

"What is she doing?" Li Yunfei asked, a hint of doubt in his voice.

"It's just a death throes," Su Yao said dismissively.

I ignored their mockery and focused all my attention on the core of the formation.

I felt that as I poured my spiritual energy into it, that faint fluctuation was gradually increasing in strength.

"She...it seems she's about to succeed!" a disciple exclaimed.

I felt the pressure around me suddenly lessen, and my body gradually regained its balance.

I opened my eyes and saw that the light at the center of the formation was even more dazzling, like a star about to explode.

"No, we can't let her succeed!" Li Yunfei's expression changed drastically, and the light from the spirit stone in his hand shone even brighter.

I felt an even stronger interference coming, and my body shook violently again.

"Xiao Yao!" The array master's voice was filled with anxiety.

I gritted my teeth, with only one thought in my mind: I must succeed!

I suddenly opened my eyes, a determined light flashing within them…

"Break it for me!"

I gathered all my spiritual power into my palm. My dantian throbbed with pain, but it did not shake my resolve in the slightest.

I suddenly opened my eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, and shouted, "Break!" A powerful spiritual force shot towards the center of the formation like an arrow released from a bow.

Li Yunfei's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected me to be able to fight back. He hurriedly increased the output of the Chaotic Spirit Stone in his hand, and an even more violent wave of spiritual energy swept over, trying to block my attack.

Two powerful spiritual energies collided in the air, producing a deafening roar. The surrounding disciples retreated hastily, fearing they would be caught in the storm of spiritual energy.

I gritted my teeth and did my best to control the output of my spiritual power, preventing it from being swallowed up by the interference of the chaotic spirit stones.

My body trembled violently, and my meridians felt like they were being torn apart, but I dared not relax for a moment.

I know that success or failure hinges on this moment!

"Xiao Yao, you've gone mad! You'll suffer the backlash!" the array master exclaimed.

I ignored his warning; my eyes were fixed on the gleaming array core.

I could feel my spiritual power gradually breaking through the blockade of the chaotic spirit stones, getting closer and closer to the core of the formation.

"Ah!" I roared, pouring out the last bit of spiritual power in my body.

With a loud bang, a dazzling light burst forth from the core of the array, and the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations instantly subsided.

I felt a powerful force enveloping me, and my body felt light, as if I were about to ascend to heaven.

As the light faded, I stood firmly in the center of the array, and everything around me became clear.

I made it!

Li Yunfei's face was deathly pale, and the Chaotic Spirit Stone in his hand had lost its luster.

He looked at me in disbelief, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness.

"How could this be... a good-for-nothing..." he muttered to himself.

The disciples around me were stunned. They looked at me with admiration and worship in their eyes.

"Xiao Yao, you...you really did it!" a disciple exclaimed excitedly.

I smiled slightly, my heart filled with joy and pride.

I not only proved my strength, but also gave Li Yunfei and Su Yao a good slap in the face.

“Xiao Yao,” the array master walked up to me, his eyes flashing with a complex light, “who…who exactly are you?”

I looked at him, and a sudden unease rose within me... He seemed to have sensed something...

I slowly exhaled, feeling the surging spiritual energy within my body; an unprecedented sense of power filled my entire being.

The spirit array is broken, I did it!

However, before I could fully savor the joy of this success, a sudden change occurred.

At the center of the formation, the originally dazzling light gradually subsided, replaced by a soft halo.

At the center of the halo, an ancient book slowly emerged, quietly floating in mid-air.

On the book's cover, three ancient seal characters radiate a faint golden light—"Tianzhen Lu".

"The Heavenly Array Record! It's actually the legendary Heavenly Array Record!" The array master exclaimed in disbelief.

He reached out his hand, trembling, wanting to touch the manual, but then stopped in mid-air, as if afraid of disturbing something.

The surrounding disciples were also in an uproar, discussing the matter animatedly.

"The Heavenly Array Record? Isn't that the legendary manual that records all the secrets of ancient array formations?" "It's said that obtaining it will make one the supreme being in the world of array formations!" "Xiao Yao actually obtained the Heavenly Array Record! That's incredibly lucky!"

Li Yunfei's face turned even uglier. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

Su Yao, on the other hand, was filled with jealousy and resentment, wishing she had obtained the manual herself.

Looking at the Heavenly Array Record suspended in mid-air, I was filled with excitement.

This is a legendary array formation manual!

I took a deep breath, slowly reached out, and grasped the Heavenly Array Record in my hand.

A warm, gentle energy emanated from the manual and flowed throughout my body.

I felt as if a great deal of knowledge about formations had suddenly appeared in my mind, as if I had been enlightened.

I know that my skills in formations will be greatly improved because of this manual.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister Xiao Yao, on obtaining the Heavenly Array Record!" Elder Murong's voice broke the silence, a hint of satisfaction on his face.

The other disciples also congratulated me, their eyes filled with envy.

At that moment, I became the center of attention, a legend.

I gripped the Heavenly Array Record tightly in my hand, my heart filled with joy and anticipation.

I couldn't wait to open it and see what secrets it held...

I took a deep breath and slowly turned to the first page...

"This……"
