After Elder Wang Jingfu entered the Sutra Repository, he went straight to the top floor and found Chen Lei.
When Elder Wang Jingfu saw Chen Lei, he discovered that Chen Lei was holding a book on formations and was reading it intently.
"Ahem..."
Elder Wang Jingfu coughed, startling Chen Lei who was immersed in the formation.
Chen Lei heard the voice, looked up, and saw Elder Wang Jingfu standing not far from him. He quickly said, "Elder Wang, why are you here?"
Elder Wang Jingfu laughed and said, "Chen Lei, I came to see you. Why are you interested in this formation book? Can you understand it?"
Chen Lei nodded and said, "Not bad, I can understand all of this. I used to know some formations, although I'm not very proficient in them, but I've gotten the hang of it."
After hearing what Chen Lei said, Elder Wang Jingfu's eyelids twitched slightly. It was obvious that Chen Lei was being modest. Being able to understand the formation books on the last level in the Sutra Library, his attainments in formations must have at least reached the level of a formation master.
You know, Jiang Huan, the most precious person in the entire Tianyan Sect, is only at the level of a formation master, and Chen Lei is obviously a few years younger than Jiang Huan.
The art of formation is not about who has practiced for a longer time, it is about comprehension. If you don't understand, then you don't understand, and you will never be able to get started even if you study it for a lifetime. If you understand, it doesn't matter how old you are.
Elder Wang Jingfu now knew that he had struck gold this time.
"Chen Lei, since you can understand, you can read the books here at will. However, your cultivation should not fall behind. You should know that in a few months, the chiefs of the nine sacred peaks will come out of retreat, and then the selection of direct disciples will begin. You are already qualified to participate in this selection. In the past hundreds of thousands of years, you are the first among my ordinary disciples to participate in the selection. You must strive for your success." Elder Wang Jingfu earnestly advised Chen Lei.
Chen Lei nodded and said, "Don't worry, Elder Wang, I will definitely become a direct disciple."
Elder Wang Jingfu smiled with satisfaction after hearing Chen Lei's confident words, and said, "That's good. You should know that this is your only chance. On Tianyan Peak, there are more and more profound formation books than here. The formation books there are the foundation of our Tianyan Sect, which are enough for you to benefit from for the rest of your life."
After hearing what Elder Wang Jingfu said, Chen Lei's eyes lit up and he said, "Really? Then I must become a direct disciple."
Elder Wang Jingfu nodded and said, "Chen Lei, you have the talent. If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely become a direct disciple. By then, have you decided which peak you want to join?"
Chen Lei shook his head and said, "I haven't thought this through yet."
Wang Jingfu said: "Then, I will give you a suggestion. If you really want to become a direct disciple, you should choose to worship at Tianyan Peak. This Tianyan Peak is not only the first peak of our Tianyan Sect, but most importantly, all the profound formation books in the Tianyan Sect are in Tianyan Peak."
Chen Lei nodded, and then asked Elder Wang: "Elder Wang, then, I want to practice the Great Slaughter God Technique and the Tianyan God Technique. Can I also learn them on Tianyan Peak?"
