Chapter 240 5-Line Mountain Formation
Chapter 240 5-Line Mountain Formation
There were two other people walking out with him. Qinglian looked at the three people in front of him and couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, the formation is mysterious and natural. If you cultivate it to a deep level, you can cross the border and kill people. Among the cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining recruited this time, there are only three of them. They are really rare!"
"You three, follow me!"
After saying that, he slapped his storage bag, released a flying boat, and with a step, he flew up and spoke without even turning his head.
"Come up!"
Upon hearing this, the ordinary-looking man at the ninth level of Qi Refining jumped on board. Seeing this, the other two also jumped onto the flying boat one after another.
Qinglian made a hand gesture and the flying boat took off directly, rising into the air and flying towards the distance.
The ordinary-looking man stood on the flying boat, looking at the mountains and pavilions of the Five Elements Sect below, his eyes revealing the past thirty years.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Over 432 years have passed since I began my cultivation, and nearly 400 years have passed since I was in the Five Elements Sect. The Five Elements Sect is my home besides the Xuan Family. I never expected that when I returned home this time, everything would be different."
This ordinary-looking man who was at the ninth level of Qi Refining was actually Xuan Kun who was disguising his appearance and cultivation level. Some of the mountain pavilions below were still the same as they were thirty-two years ago, without any changes, but some were things Xuan Kun had never seen before, and were obviously new sites built by the Hehuan Sect in recent years.
After Xuan Kun settled Jiang Zhiwei and her brother, he left the Xuan family and headed south to the mountain gate of the Five Elements Sect. He wanted to see if the Five Elements Sect was like the Xuan family after its demise, with only ruins and bones. Unexpectedly, this place had become a branch of the Hehuan Sect, gathering many cultivators of the Hehuan Sect.
Xuan Kun was furious when he saw this, and wanted to rush over to kill them, but his reason told him not to act rashly. So he waited for a while and captured an early Jindan cultivator who was away from the Hehuan Sect, and directly collected his soul. He immediately understood the situation of this branch sect.
Here, the person with the highest cultivation level in the Hehuan Sect is only a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, but there is a powerful formation [Five Elements Tai Chi Bagua Formation] (incomplete) above the mountain gate.
This formation is the Five Elements Sect's protective formation, which can withstand the full-strength attack of a late Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if it is an incomplete formation, it cannot be broken by Xuan Kun, who is only in the early Nascent Soul stage. Its resistance can also withstand the attack of a middle Nascent Soul cultivator.
Seeing this, Xuan Kun had no choice but to find another way. He happened to meet the time when this branch sect was recruiting disciples, so the previous scene was staged.
……
In front of the flying boat, Qinglian's late foundation building consciousness took a look at the three people behind him and sneered.
"Hmph! You three all know some formations, right? But don't say you haven't learned it when you get there. I've already explained the consequences to you. You'll be responsible for the consequences when the time comes."
The two people behind Xuan Kun, a woman at the eighth level of Qi Refining and a man at the tenth level of Qi Refining, smiled respectfully upon seeing this.
"Master uncle is right. We have learned it before. If we dare to step out, we will have to bear the consequences ourselves."
Xuan Kun lowered his head and said nothing. Qinglian turned around and glanced at the two confident people, then looked at Xuan Kun. He couldn't help but smile. He understood in his heart and thought to himself.
"Hmph! These two are quite confident. As for that ordinary-looking man, I think he's just another unskilled person filling in the gaps."
Driven by Qinglian's spiritual power in the late stage of foundation building, the flying boat was moving at an extremely fast speed. Soon, it arrived in front of a building on the top of a mountain and stopped in a square. There was a huge stone tablet on the side of the square with four large characters engraved on it: [Five Elements Array Mountain].
Xuan Kun looked at the four big characters on the stone tablet, couldn't help but smile, and talked to himself.
"[Five Elements Formation Mountain], I never thought this stone tablet would survive the great war and become the formation training site for the Hehuan Sect's branch."
Looking at these four big characters, Xuan Kun seemed to be back to the time when he first set foot on this mountain more than four hundred years ago.
At that time, Xuan Kun was only in his thirties, but he had already become a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. He had just entered the Five Elements Formation Mountain and came into contact with the art of formation.
……
As I recall, beneath the Five Elements Formation Mountain stone tablet, an old man in a golden robe sat, seemingly in a trance. No one passing by paid any attention to him, as if they couldn't see him.
Xuan Kun, a young man in the early stages of foundation building, suddenly spotted him and walked towards him. He scanned the man, who looked to be over seventy years old, but found nothing about him. He looked just like an ordinary person. But how could an ordinary person appear in the Five Elements Sect? So he asked.
"Senior, are you seeking enlightenment here?"
When the old man in the golden robe saw that someone had discovered him, he opened his eyes in confusion, glanced at himself, and couldn't help but laugh, and said in an old voice.
"Hahaha! Hey~ This formation is actually ineffective. Looks like it needs some improvement before it can be used in a combined way!"
Then he looked at Xuan Kun and smiled, "I'm just testing the formation. Boy, are you coming to the Five Elements Formation Mountain to buy a formation? Or are you learning it?"
The young man Xuan Kun couldn't help scratching his head and replied with a smile.
"Replying to the senior, I want to learn the formation, but I am dull and my knowledge is too diverse, I don't know if I can learn it."
Upon hearing this, the old man in the golden robe burst into laughter and spoke in a clear and cheerful voice.
"Hahaha! Don't worry about that. You and I are destined to be together. If I teach you, even if you can't become a master of formations, it will be very easy to master it."
The young man Xuan Kun was stunned when he heard this. He suddenly thought that he had met a master, but looking at the old man's face, he looked like he was so old that he didn't have much time left to live, so he couldn't help but question it.
"If you teach me, can I create a formation to kill a Jindan strongman?"
The old man immediately calmed down and said with a smile that left no room for doubt.
"Of course it's okay."
Xuan Kun was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but look strange. After all, the ancestor of the Xuan family was only at the Jindan level. If he could learn it, wouldn't he be the strongest person in the Xuan family? Then he asked again.
"Then... can we kill... a Nascent Soul expert?"
The old man in the golden robe frowned slightly, but still said proudly,
"Humph! I'll set up the formation first. Even Nascent Soul cultivators can be killed."
He couldn't help but explain in his mind, "It's limited to the early stage of the Nascent Soul. It's not easy to kill the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and I don't dare to think about the late stage of the Nascent Soul."
The young man Xuan Kun did not notice the golden-robed old man's frown, nor could he hear his inner thoughts. He was just immersed in the golden-robed old man's words, "Nascent Soul cultivators can be killed just as well."
At that time, Xuan Kun didn't know that the Jindan cultivators could act at will. He thought that once he became a Yuanying cultivator, he could go anywhere in the world.
The young man Xuan Kun thought that he had met an unrivaled master or someone from the lower realm, and asked again excitedly.
"Then... the Divine Transformation cultivator... can be killed..."
Before he could even ask the question, he was slapped away by the old man in the golden robe, and only one sentence was heard.
"Arrogant!"
There was no further words. He stood up and turned around to look, but there was no trace of the old man in the golden robe.
