Qingfeng took a few breaths to recover from the shock and then spoke.
"The Five Elents Formation you ntioned, I think I've heard Master talk about it."
"It was the signature skill of a certain sect two hundred years ago, but it was later abandoned."
"If that's the case, then the Scripture Repository should only contain the basics and so introductions to the Five Elents Formation."
"Do you think you can break Master's grand formation with just that?"
"Of course not," Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "I ntioned earlier that Master inherited his teachings from the Shangqing Temple and isn't skilled in formations."
"In such a situation, it's highly unlikely that Master could create a formation on his own."
"So, Master's formation skills all co from the Scripture Repository of the Shangqing Temple."
"In my second year of apprenticeship, Master showed that piece of lightning-struck wood."
"To break the core formation left by Master, I spent a year reading all the formation books in the Scripture Repository."
"After comparing them, I discovered that the formation Master set up."
"Was a combination of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation and the Big Dipper Formation, with so of Master's own modifications."
"I tried many tis back then, but I couldn't break through."
"Thus, Master's formation blocked for a full five years."
"Later, I found the Five Elents Formation texts in the Book Tomb and also received so insights on formations from him."
"With this, I finally understood how Master combined the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation with the Big Dipper Formation."
"It was by using the principles of the Five Elents Formation."
"Once I knew how the formation was set up, I started trying again and spent a year and a half breaking through."
"Finally, ten days ago, I completed the coffin."
After hearing Chen Changsheng's account, everyone was speechless.
Qingfeng looked at Primordial Spirit Master with a regretful expression, as if to say.
"Master, your lightning-struck wood didn't die in vain."
Primordial Spirit Master was both amused and exasperated by Chen Changsheng's actions.
This guy spent eight years just to turn his lightning-struck wood into a coffin.
He really didn't know whether to praise him for his perseverance or scold him for being foolish.
Eight years is not a short ti for cultivators.
The lifespan of mortals barely exceeds a hundred years, Foundation Establishnt cultivators have a lifespan limit of two hundred years.
Golden Elixir Realm is five hundred years, Elental Infant Realm is about eight hundred years, only Divine Transformation Ancestors can surpass a thousand years.
Yet his disciple spent eight years on such a trivial matter.
He's truly not worried about his own lifespan at all!
......
Boundless Secret Realm.
Slowly descending from the sky, the entrance to the Boundless Secret Realm was already crowded with sects of all sizes.
"Oh my!"
"Isn't this the Primordial Spirit Master?"
"Fifty years no see, and you've broken through to the mid-Elental Infant Realm, congratulations!"
As Chen Changsheng and the others landed, Zhao Dezhu, the sect master of the Linglong Sect, ca over with a beaming smile to greet them.
But facing Zhao Dezhu's enthusiasm, Primordial Spirit Master did not give him a friendly face.
"Speak your mind or hold your peace, I don't want to engage in excessive conversation with soone as crude as you."
Hearing this, Zhao Dezhu looked heartbroken and said, "Primordial Spirit Master, you're a Daoist, how can you have such a fiery temper?"
"Even though my realm is a bit higher than yours, and my disciple is a bit more talented than yours."
"But you can't be angry all the ti over such a small matter!"
"I know you're envious that I have a good disciple."
"Not even two hundred years old and already at the late Elental Infant Realm, such talent hasn't appeared in the entire Royal Dynasty."
"If I could find one, with our friendship, I'd definitely help you find one."
"Bah!"
"Who cares about your lousy disciple!"
"I have soone better, your disciple may reach the late Elental Infant Realm before two hundred, but."
"My disciple will reach the late Elental Infant Realm within a hundred years, just you wait!"
After saying this, Primordial Spirit Master stord off with Chen Changsheng and the others.
Seeing this, Zhao Dezhu smirked, then with his hands behind his back, humd a tune as he walked towards the sealed entrance of the Boundless Secret Realm.
......
"No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!"
"Qingfeng, you take your junior brothers inside later, I'm going to argue with that bastard Zhao Dezhu again."
Not long after they parted, Primordial Spirit Master grew increasingly angry and went back to find Zhao Dezhu.
Seeing his master's deanor, Qingfeng just smiled and didn't pay it any mind.
Zhao Dezhu and Master have a life-and-death friendship, and he's been watching their bickering for a hundred and fifty years.
At this mont, Chen Changsheng glanced around and suddenly spoke.
"Senior Brother, isn't there supposed to be a genius called 'Fairy Changsheng' in the Linglong Sect?"
"Why haven't I seen her?"
"Fairy Changsheng went to the border of the Royal Dynasty, not just her, even Master Ikkyu from the Heavenly Buddha Temple went."
"Ikkyu, Master?"
Hearing this na, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but question from the depths of his soul.
Qingfeng, thinking Chen Changsheng hadn't heard of this na, explained.
"Master Ikkyu is the heir of the Heavenly Buddha Temple, and the second most talented person in the Royal Dynasty after Fairy Changsheng."
"He reached the late Golden Elixir Realm just over a hundred years old."
"He's said to be the most likely to surpass Fairy Changsheng."
Upon learning that the once timid and kind little monk had beco a prominent figure.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
Back then, Little Monk Ikkyu would often co to debate with him, but the outco was mostly losses.
Ti truly is the most powerful 'cultivation technique,' he just took a nap, and the little monk beca a master.
After his reflection, Chen Changsheng spoke again.
"Senior Brother, what are they doing at the border?"
"What else could they be doing, of course, it's to go to war with the Nightmoon Kingdom."
"The Nightmoon Kingdom, being a demon clan nation, wages war with the Royal Dynasty every two hundred years, and although the Royal Dynasty often wins, they can never completely eliminate them."
"Recently, for so reason, the Nightmoon Kingdom has initiated a national war ahead of schedule."
"It's only been a hundred and seventy years since the last war, starting thirty years early is indeed puzzling."
Hearing this, the smile on Chen Changsheng's face gradually faded.
He had read about the wars between the Royal Dynasty and the Nightmoon Kingdom in the Book Tomb.
It was a brutal war involving both cultivators and mortals, its severity beyond words.
Even Elental Infant experts faced the risk of falling.
Moreover, the fact that the Nightmoon Kingdom initiated the war early gave Chen Changsheng an uneasy feeling.
