Chapter 949: Repairing The Formation
Spring breezes were getting warmer, whereas autumn breezes were getting colder.
The last rays of the setting sun had completely fallen below the horizon. Luo Xuanyu’s mind was in a mess, and she could not think of the key point.
On the contrary, Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed internally, ‘If that’s the case, then it all makes sense. The strange energy was the thunderbolt power, which completely separated the connection between the core hub and the Guarding Formation. Luo Xiaoyu’s mental power is too weak, so she couldn’t feel the power and failed to get the gist of it.’
After staying here for a while, Luo Xiaoyu’s face was full of doubt. She shook her head unwillingly and said, “Let’s go. We’ll see tomorrow.”
Xu Hanyin and the elders of the Xu family let out a long sigh of relief. They sighed in their hearts. After being tormented for a day, the torture finally stopped.
The group of people left under the moonlight.
Guan Yue followed behind Ou Yangming. She seemed to feel embarrassed. After laughing embarrassedly, she said in a low voice, “Master’s an Advanced Spiritualist. Her accomplishments in formations are profound, so she’ll surely be able to repair the formation.” She seemed to be explaining for she had said before but deep down she was also a little dispirited. To her, her master was an omnipotent existence. ‘Why did she... Run into a wall right after I said those words!’
Ou Yangming remained silent. He felt that he should give an appropriate reminder.
In the next 7 days, Luo Xiaoyu was busy.
She had gone to every corner of the Xu family, but she still could not find the reason, let alone repairing the formation.
On this day, Ou Yangming, Luo Xiaoyu, Guan Yue, and Xu Hanyin stood under the white tablet. As for the other elders of the Xu family, they were dispersed by Luo Xiaoyu because she preferred silence.
Her eyes, which were more charming than roses, were knitted together. She opened her pearly teeth and said, “Patriarch Xu, this Guarding Formation... I, I can’t fix it, but I can set it up again. That said, the materials have to be provided by the Xu family. What do you think?” It was a big decision for her to make because the path of formations was Reborn in Paradise’s forte.
Xu Hanyin looked bitter because setting up a protective array would require a lot of materials.
The Xu family did not have so much spare money at this time. He gritted his teeth, he said bitterly, “Messenger of the Immortal Sect, I hope you can think of a way. The Xu family’s more than 13 kilometers long. With such a wide area, the materials needed to set up the array will be too much. The Xu family..the Xu family can’t afford it...”
His voice echoed in everyone’s ears. After a brief moment...
Luo Xiaoyu nodded and replied to him, “I’ll think of a way, but I might not be successful as this is the first time I’ve seen such a strange thing.”
In a flash, the scene fell silent.
An anxious look appeared on Guan Yue’s face as she gently held Luo Xiaoyu’s arm.
Ou Yangming pondered for a moment and probed, “Senior Luo, the rune nodes in this formation are all dim. Could it be related to the heavy rain half a month ago? For example, thunderbolts?”
Luo Xiaoyu’s face was pale, and she answered, “I’ve thought about that before, but I couldn’t continue the reasoning halfway. Firstly, I didn’t find any thunderbolt power in the white tablet. Secondly, it’s very rare for thunderbolts to affect Guarding Formations.” She shook her head and was also very puzzled.
Guan Yue’s dimples bulged as she looked at the stone table. She was in a very bad mood.
Ou Yangming’s chin moved, and he asked softly, “Senior Luo, let me take a risk and give it a try. How about it?”
He stared straight into Luo Xiaoyu’s eyes, and his voice sounded solemn.
Luo Xiaoyu was just about to reject him when she saw his deep eyes, hence she swallowed the words in her throat.
Although Xu Hanyin did not reject it, his eyes were filled with suspicion. It was obvious that he did not think that the young fellow in front of him could repair the formation. If Ou Yangming had not come with the Immortal Sect’s messengers, the elder would have already ordered the servants to kick him out. After all, the young fellow was really young. The path of formations was broad and profound, and one needed time to settle down. At Ou Yangming’s age, he would have just come into contact with the derivations of rune nodes, and yet he said that he would try to repair the formation, which was very presumptuous of him.
‘You just know how to play the hero!’ Guan Yue cursed internally. She gracefully walked to Ou Yangming’s side and secretly gave him a look. Seeing that he did not pay attention to her, she tugged at the corner of his clothes again.
“Don’t worry!” Ou Yangming turned his head and smiled at her. His eyes suddenly focused, and he took a step forward.
After taking this step, his aura changed. It was as if he could lift the entire world with a single word.
Luo Xiaoyu looked at him deeply. Her eyes shone with an unusual light. She thought to herself, ‘He’s quite interesting indeed.’
Ou Yangming exhaled the turbid air from his chest and entered the integration of Heaven and man with a single step. His golden mental power condensed into substance and probed into the white table. After a short while, a special and subtle thunderbolt power appeared in his senses.
A white light flashed in his hand, and the forceful spiritual power of an Advanced Spiritualist surged out.
The white tablet shone brightly like a shining star.
Even so, just as the spiritual power approached the thunderbolt power in the tablet, it spread to the surrounding rune nodes, making it impossible to get close, let alone expel it.
“Master, do you think Big Brother Yu will succeed?” Guan Yue blinked her eyes and looked at Luo Xiaoyu.
“You don’t know his attainments in formations?” Luo Xiaoyu asked.
The corner of the young lady’s mouth twitched. She wanted to say something but hesitated. She gritted her teeth and said with an odd expression, “Big Brother Yu’s only interested in the path of formations and runes. I’ve never seen him set up an array.” When she said this, she felt that it was ridiculous.
Her words echoed in Xu Hanyin’s ears, causing all the hair on his body to stand on end.
His mind was in a mess, and he was dumbfounded. The only words in his mind at the moment were “it’s over”.
One must know that repairing formations was a skill that required one to be very familiar with rune nodes and core hubs. It was at least 70% more difficult than setting up a formation. Most importantly, if one was not careful, the formation would self-destruct and would destroy everything within its range.
Now, such a “newbie” actually dared to repair a formation. This was simply a nightmare.
After regaining his senses, Xu Hanyin gritted his teeth.
Bending his back, he said with respect, “Messenger from the Immortal Sect, if there’s really no other way then... Then let’s set up another formation!” As he said this, his heart was bleeding. Given that the formation would have to cover over 10 kilometers, how many cultivation resources would it require?
Nevertheless, just the thought of this “newbie” repairing the formation made his heart palpitate. Every cell in his body screamed.
Luo Xiaoyu was also hesitant. Her formation attainments were profound.
As such, she knew how dangerous this behavior was. Despite that, in her impression, Ou Yangming was calm and steady, where his words and actions were steady. She thought that he would not joke about his life just to attract attention and most importantly, the rune nodes on the core hub actually displayed a strong affinity toward him.
To Luo Xiaoyu, this was a fantasy.
After all, even with her level of attainment in formations at the moment, she could not do this.
She was silent for a moment, then she said in a deep voice, “Let him try. I’ll be right next to him, and I won’t let the formation self-destruct.”
As her voice spread, the uneasiness in Xu Hanyin’s heart lessened a bit.
“No, it’s still not working...” Ou Yangming continued to analyze in his spiritual world, looking for a way to expel the thunderbolt power. Having said that, 2 hours had passed, and he still could not find a good solution.
The wrinkles on Xu Hanyin’s face were squeezed together, and he was nervous.
Even his clothes were soaked in a cold sweat because this concerned the life and death of the Xu Family!
“Is it still not enough?” Luo Xiaoyu stroked her sharp chin, appearing incomparably charming. Just as she was about to open her mouth to stop him Ou Yangming...
Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up as a domineering intent burst forth from his body.
Since he could not expel the power, he might as well not expel it and devour it.
Just as he made up his mind, the Heavenly Phoenix Fire in Ou Yangming’s body started to burn fiercely. His body moved as he took a step forward. He raised his right hand in the air and pressed it directly onto the stone tablet.
Immediately, a cold and wet air flowed along his veins.
A white light flashed on his palm and suddenly spread out. The blinding light made it difficult for people to open their eyes.
The spiritual Qi in Ou Yangming’s dantian instantly boiled. He roared internally, “Giant head, give me the Devouring Power!”! At once, the Devouring Power surged into the stone tablet. This power was even more overbearing than the Heavenly Phoenix Flame.
Consequently, the thunderbolt power in the white tablet was absorbed. If one really wanted to describe it, it was like an ice cube falling into magma and melting right away. There was no resistance at all.
Ou Yangming waved his long sleeve, and the white tablet shone brightly. All the rune nodes within a radius of several kilometers lit up, enveloping the Xu residence. A dense, mountain-like intent erupted from the formation.
The young fellow was enveloped in the white light, and a cool breeze swept his clothes.
This scene seemed to have become eternal to the others. There was not even a single thought left in their hearts. Under the sunlight, Ou Yangming was dressed in white, and he gave off a feeling of being a knight in the dust.
Guan Yue’s pupils suddenly contracted, and her tongue was stuck to the roof of her mouth. The memories in her mind churned like a tidal wave.
“Brother Yu, do you know anything about formations?” The young lady revealed a serious expression and asked softly. She raised her chin and said, “I noticed that you’re very interested in formation boards. Coincidentally, Master has been invited to help the Xu family in Taihe City today to repair their formation. If you’re interested, why don’t we go and take a look together?”
“Brother Yu, look carefully. Master’s attainments in formations are very high. If you can learn even a little bit, it’ll be indescribably beneficial for you.”
These scenes appeared in Guan Yue’s mind, causing her to blush and feel embarrassed. Nonetheless, she deliberately grumbled, “Brother Yu, you’re not being particular. You clearly have a profound level of attainment in formations, and yet you still say you’re only interested in it? That’s not nice of you!” She added but no matter what, there was joy in her grumbling.
Waves of shock rose in Xu Hanyin’s heart as he thought, ‘Which shrine does this Daoist disciple belong to? At such a young age, not only has his cultivation base reached that of an Advanced Spiritualist, but he also has such brilliant skills in formations.’
One must know that the path of formations could not be accomplished overnight.
