With the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul, Zheng Fa found it sowhat strenuous to command the great array for an extended period.
Shi Nandang, being considerate, seed to notice Zheng Fa’s spiritual power was nearly exhausted. He turned to the Chongxuan Sect Leader, instructing without question:
"Li Hao should rest first, you give it a try."
Zheng Fa did not insist, landing beside Shi Nandang, watching as the Chongxuan Sect Leader, sowhat unskilled, took his place in controlling the Heaven and Earth Divine Evil Formation.
"How is it?"
"This disciple’s cultivation is lacking, so I have made you laugh, Master."
"Heh." Shi Nandang shook his head, finding Zheng Fa’s words rather amusing, "This is the Immortal Trapping Sword."
Zheng Fa turned to look at Shi Nandang, hearing him say with a smile, "Never mind you, just a Nascent Soul, even we, without the aid of the great array, couldn’t do anything with this Supre Treasure."
This was indeed true.
The Immortal Trapping Sword being a maniac might not be a concern, but a True Immortal level maniac is sothing no one could withstand.
Thinking to this point, he felt a pang of curiosity and asked Shi Nandang, "After refining this sword, is it possible for you to master it?"
Shi Nandang looked at him with a complex expression, "You may be overestimating ."
Understood.
Expecting the Divinity Transformation stage to make the Immortal Trapping Sword obey was nothing but a dream.
This was troubleso.
He had the intention to steal the Immortal Trapping Sword, yet with his current strength, he wouldn’t be able to control it if he got his hands on it. Who knows, this thing might suddenly go berserk and wipe out the Jiushan Realm.
In that case, he’d have nowhere to cry.
He had actually anticipated this situation earlier on.
If the Immortal Trapping Sword were easy to ta, Haori Mountain wouldn’t have spent hundreds of thousands of years without finding a solution.
Zheng Fa previously hoped that relying on the Immortal Trapping Sword Manual, he might sense the sword and, even if he couldn’t fully master this treasure, he hoped to use it roughly.
As a last resort, being able to coexist peacefully with the Immortal Trapping Sword was sothing Zheng Fa could barely accept:
Whether he can control the sword isn’t important; the fact that Haori Mountain can’t is what really matters.
But now the problem is, given the sword’s current "condition," holding it is like holding a bomb...
While pondering a solution, Shi Nandang nodded and said to him:
"You should step down for now. Leave the matters of the Chongxuan Sect to you." He glanced at the three Nascent Souls of the Chongxuan Sect, thought for a mont, and said, "In the future, just co here every two months."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa cupped his hands towards the people at the mountain’s summit and left.
As his figure disappeared into the mist, Shi Nandang seed to have thought of sothing. He turned to the Ninth Elder beside him with a smile, "You are his master, aren’t you curious what he will do after taking charge of the Chongxuan Sect?"
The Ninth Elder, hearing this, thought to herself: Who is his master?
This Alliance Leader Zheng’s thoughts often differ from common people; who could predict what he would want to do?
At this mont, the Eighth Elder chid in with interest, "Having just ascended to a high position, without the hearts of the people convinced, naturally he needs to establish authority and rectify the sect before future endeavors."
Shi Nandang nodded slightly, not expressing an opinion.
The Eighth Elder asked, "What does Master think?"
"Well, that wouldn’t be a bad choice."
Not bad?
The Ninth Elder, hearing these words, understood in her heart that Shi Shangren did not think this was the best choice.
Watching Shi Nandang’s eyes cast down the mountain as if observing Zheng Fa, she understood a little bit:
This Shi Shangren still seed to have so assessnts in mind for Zheng Fa.
It remains unknown what Alliance Leader Zheng will do.
"He stayed in the Scripture Cave for a month?" The Eighth Elder’s face went slack, full of confusion, "Ignoring everyone who ca to the door, unable to even be found?"
Even Shi Nandang’s expression showed so surprise.
He watched the direction of the Scripture Cave as if he could see a figure buried in diligent study within.
After silently watching for the ti it took to burn several incense sticks, he finally laughed, his expression appearing sowhat delighted.
"Master?"
The two elders found it perplexing to see him suddenly laugh.
"Li Hao’s Dao Heart is quite determined," Shi Nandang comnted, "Ordinary cultivators, when first in power, may not have the haughtiness of returning ho in wealth, yet inevitably have ambitions to fulfill."
"But Li Hao has not the slightest desire for power; his Dao Heart is pure, even surpassing mine."
The Eighth Elder thought: What kind of status does Alliance Leader Zheng have?
It’s probably not that you can’t compare, but he simply disdains it...
Her curiosity stirred, she asked, "Does Master know what he studied in the Hidden Skill Cave?"
"Hmm... mostly Artifact Refining thods, the first being the Xuantian Treasure Manual from the lineage of your Chongxuan Sect Leader."
Upon speaking of this, Shi Nandang’s tone grew even more appreciative:
"It seems Li Hao is indeed resolute on the Path of Artifact Refining."
The Xuantian Treasure Manual?
The Eighth Elder imdiately recalled how Zheng Fa had once expressed a desire to learn the Xuantian Treasure Manual, but it was a Secret Technique belonging to the lineage of Chongxuan Sect Leaders; she herself wasn’t privy to it.
She didn’t expect Alliance Leader Zheng rembered and, now that he had the power, the first thing he did was to learn it.
Seeing Shi Shangren’s approval, the Eighth Elder lowered her head, looking at the ground, silently refuting:
Whether Zheng Fa is determined to pursue Artifact Refining, she wasn’t sure.
What she knew was that in the matter of learning it covertly, Alliance Leader Zheng is unwavering.
...
When Zheng Fa returned to the Jiushan Realm, his Creation Jade Disc was filled with the Chongxuan Sect’s classics.
A month’s ti was enough for him to sweep up the entire arsenal of Chongxuan Sect’s refining thods.
When it ca to the people of Chongxuan Sect, there were few he truly respected.
To him, they could still be considered opponents.
Yet knowledge bears no guilt, and thus the techniques of his foes, too, are blaless.
Within the Jiushan Realm, upon seeing the myriad Secret Techniques Zheng Fa brought back, Elder Han’s eyes widened, his expression colored with a hint of defeat.
From his expression, Zheng Fa could even read a kind of despair:
No matter how hard this elder tried to play both sides, he could not surpass the brilliance of the talented ones from Chongxuan Sect.
Lady Xuanhua also buried herself in the jade tube, her deanor captivated and unable to extricate herself.
