Chapter 159: Top-tier talent shocks Emperor Qianyun!
Hearing that it was indeed what he had in mind, Chen Yue nodded repeatedly.
He had witnessed the power of the Seven Netherworld Killing Array firsthand. If he could truly learn it, it would undoubtedly become a powerful weapon.
However, the probability of mastering it is not high. Since Chen Yue has no foundation in inscription source arrays, he has to directly learn intermediate inscription source arrays.
Emperor Qianyun said, "If you want to learn the Inscription Source Array, I first need to see how talented you are."
"Gather the source energy at your fingertips and draw a straight line in the air to ensure that it will not dissipate for a long time."
Chen Yue replied, "Yes, Teacher Qianyun."
After saying this, Chen Yue mobilized his source power, and a dark red hue condensed at his fingertips.
With a gentle dart through the air, it left a long, dark red trail.
Chen Yue tried to keep it in the air, but the first attempt was unsuccessful; the long line was blown away by a gentle breeze the moment it appeared.
Upon seeing this, Qian Yun immediately comforted him, "Don't rush to withdraw your source power. Only a continuous supply can ensure that it won't dissipate in a short time."
"Setting up an inscribed source array is an extremely energy-consuming task. It's normal to fail the first time; just try a few more times."
Chen Yue found the reason for the failure in Qian Yun's first sentence.
He withdrew his source energy too quickly; the moment he drew the long line, the source energy returned to the source sea.
If they had maintained that level of commitment, the outcome might have been different.
After learning the trick, Chen Yue drew a long line in the air once again, and this time it lingered for a long time.
Chen Yue tentatively asked, "Teacher Qianyun, is that so?"
Seeing that Chen Yue succeeded easily on his second attempt, even Emperor Qianyun couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.
He continued, "Well done, next try drawing patterns."
"Just draw a... square."
Chen Yue immediately did as instructed, using his source energy to draw a square pattern in the air.
Emperor Qianyun couldn't help but cast an admiring glance, and his demands became increasingly higher, with the complexity of the lines in the painting comparable to weaving a large net.
Once he mastered the technique, Chen Yue could immediately paint whatever Emperor Qianyun asked for.
And it is guaranteed not to dissipate, the source energy steadily maintaining the lines in the air.
However, as the requirements increased, Chen Yue found painting increasingly difficult, and his use of source energy was almost on par with the techniques of Heavenly Rank cultivation methods.
Even so, Chen Yue was able to draw the required pattern perfectly, striving to meet Emperor Qianyun's requirements.
"Teacher Qianyun, are these patterns acceptable?"
When Emperor Qianyun heard this, he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
This isn't about whether it's up to standard or not; it's absolutely perfect, fantastic!
To achieve this level of skill on his first attempt at drawing is enough to demonstrate Chen Yue's exceptional talent in the art of inscription arrays.
It is even far superior to Emperor Qianyun, who was just learning the Inscription Source Array. When he first drew a long line that would not disappear for a long time under the guidance of his teacher, it took him five or six attempts to succeed.
Even this was hailed by the teacher as a genius of the Inscription Source Array, a talent that appears only once in a thousand years, as were the painting patterns that Qian Yun proposed later.
Even with his exceptional comprehension back then, it took him three or four attempts to maintain stability.
His appearance caused a huge uproar on the Crimson Sky Continent. A master of inscription and source array with such talent must be a top-tier talent.
Who could have imagined that this once-in-a-millennium prodigy would one day become a Great Emperor and a pillar of the Crimson Sky Continent?
Furthermore, it elevates the Inscription Source Array to a whole new level, reaching the pinnacle of the Divine Transformation Source Array.
This series of resounding achievements is something Qian Yun is most proud of throughout his life.
What he couldn't believe was that Chen Yue, who had just started learning inscription source arrays, was standing in front of him.
The talent displayed in this area was actually far superior to his.
Except for the first failure, no matter what request he made, Chen Yue could succeed on the first try and do it perfectly.
It was as if he was born to be an inscription source array master, which made Qian Yun, who had already reached the level of a Nascent Soul source array master, feel a sense of admiration.
This time I really struck gold, I've found a great apprentice.
Qian Yun, who usually had a serious expression, suddenly felt an inexplicable fondness for Chen Yue.
A slight upturn at the corners of her mouth revealed a bright smile.
"You little... Little Chen, what you did was not only acceptable, it was absolutely perfect."
"I have to admit, you do have a real talent for inscription source arrays!"
Emperor Qianyun even slightly changed how he addressed Chen Yue, recognizing him as a rare and exceptional genius who should naturally be cherished.
His lifelong learning of inscription source arrays has finally found a successor.
Emperor Qianyun's words of praise swept away Chen Yue's anxiety.
Gaining his approval means that we will definitely go further and further on the path of inscription source arrays.
In the future, he might even be able to break through to the highest level, the Nascent Soul level, which is above the top level.
After the initial probing, Emperor Qianyun had gained a general understanding of Chen Yue's talent.
Previously, there was concern that skipping the beginner level of Inscription Source Array and directly teaching Chen Yue the intermediate level of Inscription Source Array might prevent him from even entering this field due to his weak foundation.
After learning about Chen Yue's talent, Emperor Qianyun realized that his previous worries were really unnecessary.
With his talent, learning intermediate source arrays would be a piece of cake.
Even if you skip the intermediate level, what's wrong with learning advanced inscription source arrays once your cultivation reaches at least the Venerable Realm?
Chen Yue tentatively asked, "Teacher Qianyun, when can we begin studying intermediate-level inscription source arrays?"
According to Chen Yue's guess, Teacher Qianyun would probably also teach him some basic knowledge of inscription source arrays and guide him on the ability to control source power when drawing source arrays.
Moreover, he skipped the intermediate level and went directly to learning the intermediate inscription source array.
After a while, Chen Yue was able to learn the Seven Netherworld Killing Formation in about one or two days.
This is just his rough guess; the actual situation depends on how Teacher Qianyun decides.
In response to Chen Yue's question, Emperor Qianyun answered without hesitation: "Right now!"
Just as Chen Yue finished speculating in his mind, he heard an answer that surprised him.
"Teacher Qianyun, are you serious?"
"To be able to learn intermediate-level inscription source arrays now? That's progressing way too fast!"
About half an hour ago, Chen Yue explained to Emperor Qianyun his idea of learning the Inscription Source Array.
Under the guidance of Teacher Qianyun, I concentrated my energy to draw some lines.
Having witnessed Emperor Qianyun set up the Seven Netherworld Killing Array, Chen Yue naturally understood the importance of these lines.
It was the most important step for him to enter the path of inscription source arrays, but taking this step was much simpler than he had imagined.
Having just learned how to draw lines, the Emperor Qianyun is about to teach him intermediate inscription source arrays—this sounds rather exaggerated.
Emperor Qianyun said with a serious expression, "Fast? Not fast at all!"
"Xiao Chen, you should know that with your talent, you could even directly learn advanced inscription source arrays."
"A mid-level inscription source array is no challenge for you."
