Chapter 48: Among Us Cultivators, One Must Seek Clarity of Mind!
After understanding the purpose of the temporary formation flag created by Xu Zhengyang,
Pei Zhen beca thrilled and couldn’t help but slap the table and exclaim, “So that’s what the wooden horse ans!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiang felt like a hundred claws were scratching at his heart.
He couldn’t wait and hurriedly asked Pei Zhen, “What exactly does the wooden horse an? What’s the use of the formation flag your disciple drew?”
“To even ask that ans you didn’t take to heart the story Ah Zheng just told.”
Pei Zhen glanced at Chen Qiang with disdain but still explained to him, “This Green Edge Absolute Shadow Formation, its principle is to generate Geng tal Sword Qi through the formation, which indiscriminately attacks anyone who steps into it. Moreover, this formation operates in a stacking manner. The deeper one walks in, the more Geng tal Sword Qi they must endure simultaneously! The temporary formation flag Ah Zheng just made has no offensive or defensive capabilities of its own. However...”
At this point,
Pei Zhen smiled slightly, eyes full of satisfaction, and said, “This formation flag can generate a Geng tal field. If a cultivator hides beneath this field, then the Green Edge Absolute Shadow Formation will recognize them as ‘one of its own’, thereby ignoring them and allowing the two of them to pass through the formation smoothly!”
“This...”
Chen Qiang was dumbfounded upon hearing this. He never imagined there could be such an unexpected thod to break a formation.
In a daze, he muttered, “It can even be done like this? Breaking a formation is actually… this simple?”
“Not exactly.”
Pei Zhen smiled and nodded, explaining to Chen Qiang, “If that Green Edge Absolute Shadow Formation were being controlled by soone, and they saw two people swaggering into the formation, they could simply activate the Geng tal Sword Qi to attack that area. But now, the Green Edge Absolute Shadow Formation is in an automatic defense state, only able to sense and attack based on Qi presence, so Ah Zheng managed to exploit that with his half-baked formation flag.”
Chen Qiang fell silent upon hearing this.
Just by looking at it a few tis, he was able to spot the formation’s flaw and use so leftover spiritual materials to piece together a temporary formation flag to break through.
Such talent...
At this thought,
Chen Qiang gnashed his teeth in hatred and couldn’t help but roar inwardly:
【Pei, you old bastard, what virtue or ability do you have!!】
...
anwhile, outside the Green Peak Gorge of the Sunset Cloud Blessed Land.
After Xu Zhengyang completed the temporary formation flag, he infused it with a stream of Spiritual Energy, causing it to emit a semi-circular Geng tal shield.
Seeing this, Xu Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction, then called out to Yang Hong, “Hurry and get in, even the fastest Zhang siblings are already halfway through. We need to hurry up too!”
Yang Hong entered the Geng tal shield with suspicion and couldn’t help but say, “Senior Brother Xu, will this really work?”
Xu Zhengyang replied irritably, “If you don’t believe it, go break the formation yourself!”
With that said,
Xu Zhengyang strode forward boldly and stepped straight into the Green Edge Absolute Shadow Formation!
Yang Hong had already drawn the Seven Star Technique-Breaking Sword when entering the shield, prepared to strike down the Geng tal Sword Qi at any mont.
However,
When Yang Hong followed Xu Zhengyang’s steps into the Green Edge Absolute Shadow Formation, the expected Sword Qi attacks never ca.
The two of them strolled as if walking through a courtyard.
Without expending any effort, they easily caught up with the people ahead breaking through the formation!
“Aweso, Senior Brother Xu!”
Yang Hong was as excited as a child, pointing at the formation flag in Xu Zhengyang’s hand and asked, “What’s the principle behind this? Can you teach ?”
“The principle isn’t difficult.”
Xu Zhengyang knew he was currently being livestread, and the people outside would definitely see him when drawing runes.
So upon hearing this, he didn’t hold back and explained to Yang Hong, “It’s like this...”
Monts later.
Xu Zhengyang had only said a couple of sentences when Yang Hong’s clear gaze had already turned into a blank stare.
Seeing this, Xu Zhengyang quickly stopped speaking, shook his head, and said, “Forget it, forget it. You’d better focus more on physique training with your master.”
“Mm...”
Yang Hong nodded in full agreent and never asked about the formation flag again.
...
Monts later.
When Xu Zhengyang and Yang Hong were just about to catch up with Tian Xiyue, Tian Xiyue imdiately called out to Xu Zhengyang,
“Co over here, include under the shield too!”
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyang sneered inwardly, but his face showed a troubled expression as he spoke with regretful tone:
“That’s not possible, Senior Sister Tian. Though this formation flag can deceive the heavens, it’s being barely maintained by our Pure Yang Qi. If we forcefully bring a woman into the formation, I fear there may be disaster due to the clash of Yin and Yang! You… better rely on your own fate.”
Yang Hong had a straightforward nature.
So when he heard Xu Zhengyang returning Tian Xiyue’s exact words from earlier, he couldn’t hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.
Upon hearing this, Tian Xiyue’s eyebrows shot up in anger.
While she cast Thunder Spells to resist the Geng tal Sword Qi in the Green Edge Absolute Shadow Formation, she scolded Xu Zhengyang angrily,
“You two are tall n of nine feet, how can you be so petty and ignore the bond between fellow disciples!”
Xu Zhengyang shook his head and said, “You can’t talk about the bond between fellow disciples only when you need help.”
With that.
Xu Zhengyang didn’t bother arguing with Tian Xiyue anymore and deliberately took a few detours with Yang Hong to avoid her before heading further in.
...
Monts later.
After shaking off Tian Xiyue, when Xu Zhengyang and Yang Hong were about to catch up to Ye Mingyu of the Azure Peak Sword Sect,
Yang Hong laughed heartily, “Hahahaha! Senior Brother Xu, that line you said about how one can’t speak of fellowship only when in need was simply brilliant! You didn’t see it, Tian Xiyue’s face turned purple with rage!”
Xu Zhengyang replied with a smile, “Return virtue with virtue, repay resentnt with honesty. Among us cultivators, one must seek clarity of mind!”
Upon hearing Xu Zhengyang’s words, Yang Hong’s eyes lit up, and he quickly echoed, “Right, right, one must seek clarity of mind!”
...
anwhile, in front of the Absolute Shadow Wall at Celestial chanism Peak.
Right after Xu Zhengyang said that line — Among us cultivators, one must seek clarity of mind — Chen Qiang felt a surge of exhilaration through his entire body!
At once, Chen Qiang took out a desk and a jar of long-cherished Spirit Wine from his storage pouch, completely ignoring the now soot-black face of Xiao Yueling.
He called out to Pei Zhen, “Senior Brother Pei, just for that line from Nephew Xu, the two of us must drink three full bowls!”
As he spoke.
Chen Qiang removed the Sealing Talisman from the Spirit Wine jar and imdiately filled three big bowls for Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen originally didn’t intend to drink in public.
But when Pei Zhen saw Xiao Yueling glaring angrily at Xu Zhengyang inside the Absolute Shadow Wall,
Pei Zhen imdiately decided to divert the hostility to himself.
So he laughed loudly, sat opposite Chen Qiang, and took out several plates of Spiritual Fruits from his storage pouch, saying, “Wine without dishes won’t do. Junior Brother Chen, have a taste of my Purple Mist Fruit!”
Sure enough.
Pei Zhen and Chen Qiang’s actions enraged Xiao Yueling; she instantly shifted her attention toward them and said with a forced smile, “Drinking and feasting in public like this… You two Junior Brothers certainly are enjoying yourselves!”
