"Brother Chu Feng, how confident are you?" Chu Ruoshi asked.
"About eighty percent," Chu Feng said.
"Eighty percent? You're really blowing hot air without even thinking."
The moment Chu Feng said this, he immediately drew mockery from Chu Haoyan and Chu Huanyu.
Perhaps because they were thoroughly annoyed by Chu Feng from the bottom of their hearts, they simply refused to believe that he could break open this Yin-Yang Formation Diagram.
However, they had no idea that the eighty percent Chu Feng had stated was him actually holding back. If he had to be precise, Chu Feng was at least ninety percent confident that he could break open this Yin-Yang Formation Diagram.
But Chu Feng didn't bother explaining much to them. He merely glanced at Chu Haoyan and Chu Huanyu and said, "If you don't want to walk away with absolutely nothing, you'd better keep your mouths shut and stop distracting me while I search for the method to decipher and break this formation."
"You bastard — how dare you speak to me in that tone? Who do you think you are?"
Chu Feng's words immediately ignited the fury of Chu Haoyan and Chu Huanyu.
But before they could finish their retort, Chu Ruoshi spoke up.
"The two of you came here with the goal of advancing your cultivation, I presume. Right now, we're facing what is essentially a dead end. Brother Chu Feng is the only one who can break through it, so why don't you stop causing trouble?"
"Chu Ruoshi, you know full well that this Yin-Yang Formation Diagram has nothing to do with the art of spirit communication or the path of martial cultivation."
"Countless seniors across generations have been unable to break open this Yin-Yang Formation Diagram. Do you really think he — Chu Feng — can break it?" Chu Haoyan asked, clearly displeased.
"Whether he can break it or not is one thing. But at the very least, right now, Brother Chu Feng is the only one among us who's willing to try," Chu Ruoshi said.
Hearing this, Chu Haoyan's brow furrowed. But soon enough, his expression shifted.
He seemed to have caught on.
Ever since Chu Feng had returned to the Chu Heavenly Clan, he had been in the spotlight nonstop, accomplishing virtually everything that they themselves could not.
However, the difficulty of this Yin-Yang Formation Diagram was extremely high.
No one even knew how to decipher it, let alone how to break it.
If they let Chu Feng take a crack at it and he ended up accomplishing nothing, then they wouldn't really lose anything. Meanwhile, Chu Feng's momentum would be dealt a blow, and his standing in everyone's eyes would drop.
So he decided not to say anything more, standing off to the side and quietly watching it all unfold.
Chu Huanyu did the same.
...
At this point, no one wanted to disturb Chu Feng.
For a time, the area fell completely silent, and Chu Feng was able to focus entirely on his contemplation.
Indeed, if one wished to break the Yin-Yang Formation Diagram, thinking was the most important step. Once the method of deciphering it was figured out, the method to break the formation would naturally follow.
Chu Feng stared for a full hour, remaining completely motionless throughout — he didn't even blink once, truly appearing as though he had turned to stone, his gaze fixed on the sky above.
"Chu Ruoshi, you see? It's not that I didn't give this Chu Feng a chance. A whole hour has passed and he hasn't made any progress at all. It seems to me… he doesn't have the slightest idea how to break this Yin-Yang Formation."
After an hour, Chu Haoyan finally couldn't hold back and began to taunt Chu Feng.
"Looks like someone is really hoping I'll fail."
But the moment Chu Haoyan finished speaking, Chu Feng — who hadn't moved for so long — suddenly stirred.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you once again," Chu Feng said, looking at Chu Haoyan.
"Brother Chu Feng, does that mean you've found the method to decipher this Yin-Yang Formation Diagram?" Chu Ruoshi asked eagerly.
"I already know how to break open this Yin-Yang Formation Diagram," Chu Feng said.
"Brother Chu Feng, are you serious?" The moment these words left Chu Feng's lips, not just Chu Ruoshi but the majority of those present had eyes full of anticipation.
"Everything I'm about to say is critical to whether or not we succeed in breaking this Yin-Yang Formation Diagram, so I hope everyone will remember what I say. Because in order to break this formation, every single one of us here must work together," Chu Feng said.
Then, right in front of everyone, Chu Feng laid out the method for breaking the Yin-Yang Formation Diagram.
In truth, what Chu Feng proposed was essentially giving each person present a specific instruction, assigning them their respective tasks.
