    Chapter 366

    Su Hao stood beside the corpse of the Foundation Establishment cultivator and placed a hand upon it.

    Blood Qi flowed into the body, recording every piece of information into the Marble Space.

    Gradually, Su Hao frowned.

    He discovered something unexpected.

    Although the cultivator was dead...

    the enormous amount of spiritual power inside his body remained active.

    It wasn't rapidly dissipating with the loss of life.

    After observing carefully, Su Hao murmured,

    "The spiritual power inside a dead cultivator is dispersing... but the rate is extremely slow."

    After thinking for a moment, he infused a strand of his Mind Intent with spiritual power, carefully entered the corpse, painstakingly guided out a trace of spiritual power, and injected it into a prepared Brilliant Light rune.

    The next instant—

    The rune erupted with dazzling radiance.

    The surrounding darkness instantly became as bright as daylight.

    When the light gradually faded, Su Hao slowly opened his eyes.

    A smile spread across his face.

    "So that's how it is."

    "The spiritual power inside a cultivator's corpse remains condensed instead of immediately dispersing."

    "This cultivation world is even more interesting..."

    "...and even crueler than I imagined."

    Perhaps many low-level cultivators desperately striving to advance...

    ultimately became nothing more than nourishment for certain "immortals."

    Only now did Su Hao truly understand why Feng Ling had repeatedly advised him to suppress his brilliance and delay breaking through.

    She had been right.

    Before a cultivator possessed enough strength to protect themselves...

    no one could predict their future.

    Who said a genius was guaranteed to reach the Nascent Soul Realm?

    At this moment, Yashan walked over.

    He almost knelt down in gratitude.

    If Boss Wei hadn't arrived today...

    the corpse lying on the ground would definitely have been his.

    Holding out both hands, Yashan presented eight flying shuttles.

    "Boss Wei, I've collected all of the artifacts."

    Su Hao didn't bother asking why Yashan had been hunted by cultivators.

    Being hunted was nothing unusual.

    As long as Yashan survived, it wasn't a major problem.

    His only responsibility was completing the tasks Su Hao assigned him.

    What Yashan chose to do during his free time was entirely his own freedom.

    Taking one of the flying shuttles, Su Hao examined it carefully.

    The shuttle measured roughly twenty centimeters long.

    Both ends tapered into sharp points, while its middle was about as thick as a baby's wrist.

    Its entire body was pure white, emitting a faint glow beneath the night sky.

    Su Hao flicked it lightly.

    Surprisingly...

    it felt almost weightless, as though it were made from paper.

    He first infused it with Blood Qi, recording all its information into the Marble Space, before turning toward Yashan.

    "Strip the clothes off that cultivator."

    "He should be wearing a defensive artifact beneath them."

    "No problem, Boss Wei."

    Yashan immediately got to work.

    Moments later, he returned carrying a compact suit of chainmail.

    Su Hao accepted it.

    It carried a noticeable weight.

    The armor possessed a completely metallic texture, with a reinforced breastplate protecting the heart.

    Once Master teaches me the basics of Artifact Refining...

    I can compare these two artifacts.

    Perhaps I'll quickly decipher the principles behind artifact refinement.

    He casually tossed both artifacts back to Yashan.

    "Put these into storage."

    "As for the corpse..."

    Originally, Su Hao intended to preserve it for research.

    However...

    he couldn't be certain whether a Foundation Establishment cultivator's corpse contained hidden mechanisms.

    After thinking it over, he abandoned the idea.

    There would be plenty of opportunities later.

    "Burn it completely."

    "Then bury the ashes."

    "Understood, Boss Wei."

    After a brief hesitation, Yashan added,

    "Boss Wei, my location has probably been exposed."

    "I'll need to relocate."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "Have you finished everything you needed to do?"

    Yashan grinned.

    "Everything's done."

    "Good."

    "Then find a new location."

    "Give me the coordinate stone."

    Yashan retrieved the inconspicuous stone from his pocket and handed it over.

    After updating its spatial coordinates, Su Hao returned it.

    "Once you've settled into the new location, send me a message."

    "I'm heading back."

    The next instant...

    he disappeared.


    ---

    Watching Su Hao vanish, Yashan finally let out a long sigh of relief.

    Looking once more at the corpse lying on the ground, he immediately got to work.

    Before long, carrying the two artifacts, he quietly disappeared into the night.

    These cultivators are terrifying...

    I'd better keep a lower profile.

    If I provoke someone even stronger next time...

    and Boss Wei doesn't make it in time...

    I'll really be finished.

    Fortunately...

    everything he had originally set out to accomplish had already been completed.


    ---

    After returning to Yunzhong Valley, Su Hao locked himself inside his room.

    Entering the Marble Space, he immediately immersed himself in studying formation arts.

    Martial Uncle Feng Yan had unknowingly provided him with an enormous amount of material.

    That alone was enough to occupy him for quite some time.

    Since there were no pressing matters at the moment...

    Su Hao devoted himself entirely to studying formations.

    What exactly...

    were formations in this cultivation world?

    His curiosity had long reached its limit.

    At present, the only formation he had personally experienced was the sect's Mountain-Protecting Mist Formation surrounding Sanhe Peak.

    Inside that mist...

    not only did he completely lose his sense of direction...

    even his perception radar suffered severe suppression.

    Until now...

    Su Hao still couldn't understand why that formation could interfere with his radar.

    His curiosity toward formation principles grew even stronger.

    He had even suspected that formations might operate using principles similar to his rune array discs.

    Inside the Marble Space, Su Hao recreated a modern study room.

    Sitting comfortably before a desk, he took out the ten formation books Feng Yan had chosen for him.

    After calming his thoughts...

    he opened the very first page.

    "Formation Arts embody wisdom."

    Seeing the opening sentence, Su Hao smiled.

    "Straight to the point."

    "I like this style."

    Time quietly slipped away.

    It flowed through Su Hao's focused gaze...

    across the fingertips turning page after page...

    and through the countless diagrams and words recorded within the books.

    As his understanding deepened...

    Su Hao gradually formed a rough picture of Formation Arts.

    They were completely different from his rune array system.

    The very first sentence—

    Formation Arts embody wisdom.

    —already explained everything.

    In Su Hao's eyes...

    Formation Arts were actually a complete scientific system for studying nature.

    Another complete natural science.

    Unable to suppress his admiration, Su Hao exclaimed,

    "So that's what Formation Arts really are."

    "Another systematic branch of natural science!"

    He quickly realized that understanding Formation Arts required far more than merely learning how to construct formations.

    One also had to understand their history.

    Only by studying how formations had gradually developed throughout countless generations could one truly grasp their essence.

    Otherwise...

    one would merely imitate appearances without comprehending the underlying principles.

    It was just like mathematics.

    Simply solving equations was one thing.

    But understanding how mathematics had gradually developed throughout history revealed an entirely different kind of beauty.

    Su Hao wanted both.

    Not merely the techniques...

    but also the wisdom hidden behind them.

    After reading several manuals...

    he deliberately set aside the practical formation books.

    Instead, he returned to the historical records describing the birth and evolution of Formation Arts.

    The origins of Formation Arts stretched back to ancient times.

    Back then...

    people stood before the overwhelming might of nature, endlessly imagining its terrifying power.

    Lightning split the heavens...

    reducing everything beneath it to ashes.

    Torrential rain summoned floods...

    sweeping away entire civilizations.

    Blazing sunlight transformed fertile land into endless deserts.

    The roaring ocean swallowed continents beneath towering waves.

    Earthquakes shattered mountains...

    burying countless living beings.

    These natural disasters never forced humanity into submission.

    Instead...

    people tried to understand them.

    They sought to uncover the principles behind disasters...

    and eventually turn those very disasters into their own power.

    Naturally...

    every one of those attempts ended in failure.

    Until...

    a peerless genius appeared.

    A genius whose brilliance still echoed through history.

    He became the very first person to successfully cultivate Mind Intent.

    Using Mind Intent...

    he managed to influence spiritual power—

    an active form of energy that constantly changed on its own.

    From that moment onward...

    human ambition knew no bounds.

    If spiritual power could be controlled...

    perhaps the terrifying forces of nature could also be controlled.

    After countless generations of relentless research...

    after innumerable people devoted their entire lives to experimentation...

    they finally developed a complete system for studying the laws of nature.

    Thus...

    Formation Arts were born.

    Closing the final page, Su Hao calmly summarized their essence.

    "Formation Arts use spiritual power to manipulate the forces of nature..."

    "...reproducing natural phenomena through artificial means."

    A smile slowly appeared on his face.

    "Now that's..."

    "...truly incredible."
