The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Chapter 149 One Sequence, Two Domains?

Lu Yan slowly unfurled the three sequence scrolls in his hand. As soon as the scrolls were unfurled, a series of prompts popped up on the panel.

[The path to the furnace has been discovered!]

[A path for building earthen mounds has been discovered!]

[Path of the Array Master Discovered!]

Three distinct sequence paths were clearly presented before his eyes.

Each entry contains complete information from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6, including all the corresponding potion recipes, leaving no stone unturned.

"Mu Yun has really gone all out this time."

Lu Yan clicked his tongue slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Although none of these three paths are core paths, any one of them, if placed in the shelter below, would be enough to cause a bloodbath. Yet Mu Yun sent out all three.

"Are they trying to break me down with huge rewards, or are there hidden dangers lurking within these sequences?"

Lu Yan stroked his chin, composed himself, and began to carefully examine the details of each path, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

【Furnace】is a fire-attribute physical path. Its core ability is to transform oneself into a furnace, facing the enemy directly with a scorching body, resulting in extremely strong explosive power.

【Building Earth】is the earth-attribute spiritual path, the core of which is to gradually strengthen one’s affinity with the earth element, and use earth control techniques to defend against enemies.

The intentions behind these two sequences are acceptable, and the cultivation paths are conventional with no obvious flaws, but they are not necessarily that valuable.

At least in Lu Yan's view, they were far less practical than the branch paths he had developed.

On the contrary, it was the last path, [Array Master], that piqued Lu Yan's interest.

This is a purely spiritual path, derived from the array masters in the life sequence, but completely different from array masters who can only serve as logistical support, possessing considerable direct combat power.

With proper preparation, a formation master can set up a variety of formations to trap, kill, defend, and assist enemies, making their overall performance top-notch.

The only weakness is that setting up the formation is quite inconvenient, requiring not only advance preparation but also consuming a huge amount of extraordinary materials.

To put it bluntly, this is a sequence tailor-made for those with abundant resources; ordinary extraordinary individuals simply cannot support its cultivation.

"Although the upper limit is not low, Mu Yun is being a bit too confident to think he can bribe me with such a sequence."

Lu Yan's doubts deepened. Just as he was pondering, the subtitles on the panel became lively, with a series of prompts refreshing rapidly.

The Dragonblood Priest was extremely dissatisfied with the three paths' refusal to submit and decided to teach them a lesson.

[Forge Sequence 6 - The Smelter believes the Dragonblood Priests have gone too far and leads his own path in rebellion.]

The card player stepped in to smooth things over, saying that there's nothing a game of cards can't solve.

The forger believed it to be true and was willing to resolve the conflict through a card game, hoping to erase all grudges with a single card.

[Array Master Path Sequence 6 - The Heart Array Master sensed something amiss and tried to stop it, but it was too late.]

The cheater, using his exceptional skills, won all of the smelter's wealth.

[The Smelter, enraged, attempted to attack the Master of a Thousand Arts, but was stopped and severely punished by the Divine Martial Saint.]

[Earth-blocking Path Sequence 6: The Nine Rock Guards immediately rushed to their aid, but were blocked by the Dragon Blood Priest, unable to move an inch.]

The Array Master had no choice but to recall the two main sequences and quickly set up the array.

[The furnace path and the earth-building path merge into the array master's path, temporarily transforming into a lava path!]

The sorcerer, as if facing a formidable enemy, shielded everyone in front of him.

[The Divine Martial Saint sensed the opponent's immense power, igniting a fierce fighting spirit!]

"Sequence fusion?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Yan was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This was the first time he had ever seen a sequence other than his own achieve fusion.

It is important to understand that most paths have insurmountable barriers between them, and one should not easily cross these lines.

Let alone fusion, even awakening the wrong branch sequence can lead to loss of control.

But Mu Yun actually managed to merge the two completely different branch sequences using an array.

As we all know, the greatest significance of branching sequences is to help extraordinary individuals make up for missing advancement conditions. In essence, they are almost consumable-level, and only in places like Shelter 056 where paths are scarce will they be regarded as the main path.

However, the combat power displayed by these branch sequences after their fusion is no weaker than that of the core path, which has truly exceeded his expectations.

"So that's how it is. Mu Yun was waiting for me here."

Lu Yan suddenly understood and instantly grasped the Five Elders' intentions.

They must be certain that they can discover the secret of sequence fusion, and are waiting for me to come to them seeking cooperation.

"With the array master as the core and other sequences as the array eyes, new paths can be created. Judging from this trend, even more sequences can be integrated, the more the better."

Lu Yan's lips curled slightly, and he understood. No wonder Mu Yun had been so persistent in developing various branch sequences all these years; it turned out he had such a reliance.

To maximize the advantages of a formation master, one must awaken more branch sequences.

In terms of the depth of research on branch sequences, even the Trial Court might not dare to say that it is stronger than Mu Yun.

More importantly, Lu Yan was certain that this array master path was definitely not the optimal solution for Mu Yun's fusion sequence.

He even suspected that Mu Yun might possess the method to fuse with the Tree of Gods.

"It's a pity. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be able to resist such a temptation."

Lu Yan's lips curled into a calm smile. Merging sequences was not difficult for him.

As for the Tree of Gods, he now has his teacher's smelting method, so he's not completely clueless.

He turned his gaze back to the panel. The struggle between the sequences was now coming to an end, and new prompts kept popping up.

The professor of arcane arts intervened, interrupting the battle and, with the aid of the power of the Realm of Truth, forcibly dismantling the fusion array.

[The Mind Array Masters, restrained by the Realm of Truth, have no choice but to submit.]

[The earthen path is devoid of independent thought, surrendering to the mind array master without any independent thought.]

The Forge Path, unwilling to accept its fate, attempts to rebel, only to find itself utterly empty-handed and powerless to reverse its destiny.

[Sequence 6: The Mind Array Master Reveals the Conditions for His Awakening!]

【Awakening Condition One for Heart Array Master: ————】

【Second condition for awakening a Heart Array Master: ————】

[Sequence 6: Nine Rock Guardians Reveal Their Awakening Conditions!]

【Nine Rock Guard Awakening Condition 1: ————】

【Nine Rock Guard Awakening Condition Two: ————】

[Sequence 6 - The Smelter has lost everything and can awaken directly!]

"There's actually such a thing?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Yan couldn't help but chuckle softly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Even the "winning people over with virtue" requirement in the teacher's career path only involves modifying some of the promotion criteria. It was unexpected that the Thousand Arts Master could directly erase all the awakening conditions of the Forgeer.

"A little gambling is harmless, but excessive gambling is harmful to health; the ancients were right."

Lu Yan sighed inwardly, but without any hesitation, he immediately chose to awaken as a forger.

The fact that it wasn't incorporated into the artifact by the Divine Martial Saint is enough to prove that the forger was of exceptional quality.

[Awakening successful! Obtained Sequence 6 - Forgeer!]

[Gained Trait: Constant Temperature: Your body can store heat, and your body temperature remains constant, unaffected by external environmental factors.]

[Gain the Domain - Endless Furnace: After activating the skill, you can release all the heat accumulated within your body to melt everything within the domain.]

The next instant, a scorching current swept over his entire body. Lu Yan clearly felt that his body was frantically absorbing the heat from the outside world, and every wisp of heat was slowly penetrating his flesh, strengthening his body.

He clenched his fist slightly, quickly making a judgment in his mind.

The ability of a smelter to store heat has an upper limit, and this upper limit is determined by the physical strength of the superhuman. The stronger the physical strength, the more heat it can store.

At the same time, the absorbed heat will continue to nourish and strengthen the body, gradually forming a virtuous cycle.

Unfortunately, Lu Yan's physical body had already been tempered and refined to the peak of his current level, leaving almost no room for further enhancement.

"Just consider it another powerful attack method."

He thought to himself that with his current physical strength, the amount of heat he could store must be quite terrifying.

If it were to be unleashed all at once, the damage it could cause would be unimaginable.

"Speaking of which, the spirit of the Emberfire Bow is almost fully formed. If it's paired with this—tsk~"

Just then, a new notification popped up on the panel, breaking his train of thought.

[The Divine Martial Saint was quite interested in the Smelter's abilities, believing that by joining forces, they could surely reach a higher level, and extended an invitation for cooperation.]

The smelter, still harboring resentment, unceremoniously rejected the invitation from the Divine Martial Saint.

[Enraged, the Divine Martial Saint forcibly devoured the Forgeer, merging its essence entirely into his own skill, Blood Fiend.]

[Fusion successful, acquired skill/domain/Blood Furnace!]

[Blood Furnace: After activating this skill, a Blood Furnace domain can be formed within the body, capable of melting any foreign matter within the body; the higher the concentration of blood ferocity, the stronger the furnace's heat, and the greater the increase in all of one's attributes.]

"Two skill areas?"

A look of astonishment immediately appeared on Lu Yan's face, and his heart began to pound violently.

It's not unusual for him to be proficient in multiple fields.

He already possesses five domains, and can even utilize them simultaneously.

But the same sequence could simultaneously master two domains, and even an unprecedented internal domain—this was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.

The effects of the Blood Fiend Furnace, in particular, subconsciously reminded him of the realm that countless people dreamed of in the fantasy novels of his previous life.

Invincible!

If it can melt all foreign objects, does that mean that external supernatural power counts?

If we're talking about that, then all superhumans who rely on elements, poisons, or similar methods would be completely useless against him.

"The Five Elders are such kind people~"

Lu Yan grinned, but instead set his sights on the other two sequences.

If the Smelter can grant such an improvement to the Divine Martial Saint, then can the other two also achieve the same?
