I Just Want To Destroy The Sect, But How Did I Become A God Against All Odds
Chapter 192: I admit I'm a noob, Chu Xinghe

The teaching session went very smoothly, and Yan Shoujing managed to complete the reverse teaching in just one afternoon.

He reminded Chu Xinghe to practice diligently when he returned. "As long as you follow my instructions and train hard, you're not far from... ahem... success!"

Chu Xinghe nodded seriously with a determined expression.

After bidding farewell to Deputy Sect Master Yan Shoujing, Chu Xinghe returned to his room and began practicing the art of formations as instructed by the Deputy Sect Master.

However, Chu Xinghe's method of practice was somewhat unconventional.

Reverse cultivation!

That's right! Reverse cultivation was exactly what he needed. The Deputy Sect Master had explained it in great detail, and Chu Xinghe found himself surprisingly able to understand it.

No wonder he was the strongest grandmaster of formations. If he continued to train according to the Deputy Sect Master's method, wouldn't the big shots of the sect be desperate to make him train, regardless of whether he was a genius at formations or not?

How would he be able to slack off then?

After much thought, Chu Xinghe decided to practice in reverse.

The Deputy Sect Master had said that formations were precise, and any mistake could lead to significant consequences. So, if he practiced in reverse and failed in various ways, wouldn't that prove he wasn't suited for formations?

Wasn't he completely talentless?

The sect couldn't possibly force someone with no talent to learn formations, right?

So, as long as he persisted in reverse cultivation, when problems arose, no one would force him to study formations anymore.

With this plan in mind, Chu Xinghe continued his reverse cultivation.

But little did he know... once he started, it was incredibly miraculous...

Why was there no obstacle at all in this damn reverse cultivation?

Had the Deputy Sect Master become so invincible that even the formations he taught could be practiced in reverse?

Take this Thunder Light Formation, for example... The Deputy Sect Master had seriously told him not to be discouraged, saying that even he, a formation genius, had taken half a month to master it.

But what did it mean that he succeeded on his first try?

So, Deputy Sect Master, are you sure you weren't just messing with me?

The next morning, Chu Xinghe looked at the formations scattered all over the ground, utterly bewildered.

With a series of reverse operations, every formation came together seamlessly. What on earth was this?

Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded, but after all, he had been slacking off in the Skill Tower for quite some time.

He had some understanding of various techniques, and among those he knew, some techniques explicitly stated that reverse cultivation was absolutely forbidden. If practiced in reverse, one might progress rapidly at first.

But as one advanced, more and more problems would arise, preventing true growth.

Chu Xinghe thought the Deputy Sect Master's formations might be the same. After all, the Deputy Sect Master had said it took him a long time to get started, and he managed it overnight?

Impossible!

There was only one possibility: this reverse cultivation seemed to progress quickly, but soon he would hit a major roadblock!

With anticipation for future obstacles, Chu Xinghe finished his breakfast and went straight to the Grand Sky Palace to continue learning formations from the Deputy Sect Master.

"Xinghe... did you practice well after returning last night?" Yan Shoujing asked with a smile.

"Deputy Sect Master, I practiced diligently as you instructed, but I encountered a small problem."

"Hehe... tell me quickly, and I'll help you solve it!" Yan Shoujing's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam.

A small problem... hehe... Chu Xinghe, you have no idea what you've gone through, but soon I'll turn your small problem into a big one!

Just as Yan Shoujing eagerly awaited Chu Xinghe's small problem, Chu Xinghe raised his hand, and countless spiritual lights shot out.

Spirit stones fell to the ground, and in an instant, a Thunder Light Formation rose up!

Thunder and lightning danced within the formation, as if ready to annihilate anyone who stepped inside.

But at that moment, Yan Shoujing was dumbfounded...

Chu Xinghe? You call this a small problem?

Is your small problem mastering the Thunder Light Formation overnight?

And I remember I taught you the reverse Thunder Light Formation... How on earth did you master the reverse Thunder Light Formation overnight?

Yan Shoujing's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Seeing Chu Xinghe's bewildered expression, he felt even more confused than Chu Xinghe.

Rumor had it that Chu Xinghe was a prodigy, the top of the younger generation, with unparalleled talent!

Yan Shoujing had never believed it before. Wasn't Chu Xinghe just backed by the Grand Sky Sect, with unbeatable resources? What talent? It was all talk, wasn't it?

But at this moment, Yan Shoujing was dumbfounded. You managed to master the Thunder Light Formation through reverse cultivation?

This isn't just about talent... are you defying the heavens?

Yan Shoujing had seen many formation geniuses, including himself, who was a genius among geniuses.

Even those taught by the Demonic Sect were absolute super geniuses.

But how long did they take to learn the Thunder Light Formation?

A month? Or two?

Even slightly slower than himself back in the day... and that was when he was desperately teaching the normal Thunder Light Formation.

But what was Chu Xinghe? One day... no, to be precise, overnight, he mastered the Thunder Light Formation through reverse cultivation?

Chu Xinghe, are you the overlord of geniuses?

Yan Shoujing suppressed his inner shock and looked at Chu Xinghe with a gaze full of apprehension.

No wonder he was the nemesis of the Demonic Sect; even reverse cultivation succeeded for Chu Xinghe, he was terrifying.

And when you set up the formation just now, did you consider my feelings? Your reverse cultivation is faster than my normal cultivation; aren't you showing off too much?

For the first time, Yan Shoujing realized why the sect valued Chu Xinghe so much. This kid was too domineering. If he wasn't eliminated, it would be hard for the Grand Sky Sect to fall.

Chu Xinghe was unaware of the Deputy Sect Master's internal turmoil. He only knew that the Deputy Sect Master, could you explain what was happening?

Yan Shoujing then inquired in detail about Chu Xinghe's cultivation process. Of course, Chu Xinghe wouldn't say he practiced in reverse.

He simply said he followed the Deputy Sect Master's guidance, and it just worked...

To this, Yan Shoujing had only one explanation... Chu Xinghe's talent was unprecedented; he was the only true god of formations, the legend of formations made perfect?

However, Yan Shoujing believed that even if he was the only true god, the Thunder Light Formation was just an entry-level formation. Reverse cultivation success was merely Chu Xinghe's good luck. For those advanced formations, let's see if you can continue reverse cultivation... one mistake, and it would cost you dearly.

"Xinghe, your success is just luck, don't mind it. Yesterday, I said the Thunder Light Formation takes a long time to master to prevent you from losing confidence if you progressed too slowly. Actually, when I learned the Thunder Light Formation, even with reverse cultivation, I mastered it in an hour, and among the disciples I've taught, you are the slowest."

With these words from the Deputy Sect Master, the confusion on Chu Xinghe's face disappeared.

So the Deputy Sect Master was joking with me yesterday... The Deputy Sect Master mastered it in an hour, even with reverse cultivation?

Compared to that, what am I? I really am not suited for formations.

"Xinghe, next I'll teach you some more advanced formations. Remember to follow my instructions carefully."

"Xinghe obeys."

Chu Xinghe nodded with satisfaction. With the Deputy Sect Master's words, he was relieved. He was considering whether to study seriously with the Deputy Sect Master, but it turned out he was just a novice...

Admitting he was a novice, Chu Xinghe spent the morning learning more advanced formations from the Deputy Sect Master. Of course... the Deputy Sect Master accidentally taught them all in reverse.

In the afternoon, Yan Shoujing instructed Chu Xinghe to go back and practice on his own.

Shortly after Chu Xinghe left, a spirit bird silently flew into Yan Shoujing's hand.

Yan Shoujing glanced at the mark on the spirit bird, quickly set up a formation to seal the surroundings, and then cautiously opened the message.

The message was from Wu Xingyun, and Yan Shoujing cursed Wu Xingyun for being too bold.

However, the message on the spirit bird made Yan Shoujing curse again.

The message was simple. This straightforward way of sending a message was Wu Xingyun's deliberate choice. Wu Xingyun wanted to warn Yan Shoujing that he wasn't at the Grand Sky Sect to be the Deputy Sect Master for real, and not to forget his purpose!

You said you wanted to destroy the Grand Sky Sect, right? You've been back for days now. Where's your plan to destroy the sect?

Wu Xingyun's meaning was clear: do you still want Little Cui'er? He urged Yan Shoujing to act quickly!

After destroying the message from the spirit bird, Yan Shoujing looked around angrily.

He had prepared for today, estimating that after Chu Xinghe's night of formation practice, even if he didn't suffer a backlash, a small backlash from the formation would be reasonable, right?

So, he just needed to send the news of targeting Chu Xinghe back to the Demonic Sect, and it would be done.

But who could have guessed that Chu Xinghe was so abnormal!

Not only did he not suffer a backlash, but he also succeeded in reverse cultivation. If he sent this news back to the Demonic Sect now, letting Wu Xingyun know how talented Chu Xinghe was?

Reverse cultivation succeeded?

Do you think Wu Xingyun wants to hear this? Wouldn't Wu Xingyun be so angry he'd spit blood on the spot?

I asked you to destroy the Grand Sky Sect, to take out Chu Xinghe, and you taught him formations? And let him succeed? You say you taught in reverse, but do you think Wu Xingyun would believe it?

So, breaking through Chu Xinghe in a short time was impossible. But as the Deputy Sect Master, Yan Shoujing thought it would be easy to cause the sect some losses, right?

With a random plan in mind, Yan Shoujing summoned Feng Fei.

"Feng Fei greets the Deputy Sect Master."

"Rise, Feng Fei. I heard you did well in Dark Rigid."

"Thank you for the praise, Deputy Sect Master. It was all thanks to Junior Brother Xinghe."

Yan Shoujing gritted his teeth to control himself... Chu Xinghe... it's Chu Xinghe again...

"Feng Fei, I heard you manage the sect's trade caravan?"

"Yes..." Feng Fei nodded, unsure of the Deputy Sect Master's intentions. He then presented various route maps of the trade caravan for the Deputy Sect Master to review.

But soon, the Deputy Sect Master pointed to some routes and suggested changing them.

Feng Fei couldn't understand the Deputy Sect Master's request. Why were these new routes all roundabout?

Wouldn't this increase the trade caravan's consumption?

But Feng Fei dared not disobey the Deputy Sect Master's orders, so he complied and adjusted the routes accordingly.

After Feng Fei left, Yan Shoujing wore a sinister smile. Was he trying to deplete the sect's resources by changing the routes?

Was he trying to deplete the sect? No, he was planning to have the Demonic Sect ambush these trade caravans. The routes of the Grand Sky Sect's trade caravans were secret, and by revealing these new routes to the Demonic Sect, they would launch frenzied attacks, causing heavy casualties. This was his first surprise for Wu Xingyun.

He also instructed Feng Fei not to tell anyone about the route changes. Feng Fei wouldn't dare speak out, and when the sect's trade caravans suffered, he could frame Feng Fei for everything. Even if the sect believed Feng Fei wasn't a spy, the heavy losses would surely lead to punishment for Feng Fei, the Great Elder's favored subordinate.

This was truly killing two birds with one stone!
