Chapter 241: Replenishing the Formation
After that incident, more than one hundred and twenty years passed, and Xuan Kun formed a golden elixir. Then he saw the old man in the golden robe again. It turned out that this man was one of the two Yuanying Supreme Elders of the Five Elements Sect, and also the most powerful person in the Five Elements Sect today, the ancestor of the [Gold Element].
Xuan Kun couldn't help but feel grateful to the Jinxing Patriarch for showing mercy and not slapping him to death. Afterwards, he learned from the Jinxing Patriarch that he didn't kill Xuan Kun on the spot because he was a junior.
After another two hundred and fifty years, when Xuan Kun was over three hundred and ninety years old and achieved the Nascent Soul stage, Elder Jin Xing laughed.
"Fortunately, I have a good temper and left behind a Five Elements Sect Nascent Soul Seed, otherwise the Five Elements Sect would not have this third Nascent Soul expert."
Xuan Kun, who had already achieved the Nascent Soul stage, couldn't help but laugh.
……
"We're here. This is the formation training place of my Hehuan Sect branch."
Qinglian's voice interrupted Xuan Kun's thoughts and brought him back to reality.
This place no longer has the comings and goings of the Five Elements Sect era, and there are very few people learning formations.
The four of them got off the flying boat and walked straight to the formation tower. At the door, there were two Hehuan Sect monks with Qi training skills guarding the gate.
Seeing Qinglian coming, he couldn't help but call out respectfully.
"Hehe, Uncle Qinglian!"
Qinglian nodded, but ignored it and went straight in with the three of them.
Inside the building, the space is extremely large, like a deep pit. At the bottom, there is an open area with countless array patterns on the ground. On the surrounding walls, there are countless rooms and caves. Some of their stone doors are closed, as if there are people inside, while some of their stone doors are open, but no one is interested.
Xuan Kun followed Qinglian and slowly walked down the steps at the edge of the deep pit. The four of them listened to Qinglian's introduction as they walked.
"This place is where we refine and research formations, and it's also where our Hehuan Sect's branch formations are produced."
As he spoke, he pointed to the stone doors on the wall and said casually.
"Look, every closed cave door on the stone wall has a formation master refining and researching formations inside. When you officially become the sect's formation masters, you can also enter for free to refine and research formations. You can use the open stone chambers at will."
As he spoke, he glanced at Xuan Kun and said sarcastically, "Hmph! As for those who are just filling in the gaps, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave this place."
Qinglian brought the three of them to the deep pit square below and stopped in front of a stone chamber. However, he did not go forward to knock on the door. Instead, he stopped and spoke respectfully.
"Master, this year's newly recruited disciple of the Formation School has been brought here. Please supervise the assessment."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone door opened with a bang, and a majestic male voice followed.
"Oh! Come in!"
Qinglian quickly waved his hand and said, "Yes, Master."
Then he waved to the three people behind him and entered the stone chamber first.
Xuan Kun took a quick glance at the stone chamber and understood the situation thoroughly.
There was a middle-aged cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan realm, who was walking around inside, as if thinking about something.
Seeing this, Xuan Kun couldn't help but feel puzzled. "What's going on? A simple formation assessment actually requires the supervision of a mid-stage Jindan cultivator. I want to see what you're up to."
After Xuan Kun and the other three entered, the door of the stone chamber was closed. The middle-aged cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan realm stopped thinking and appeared in front of them, looking them up and down.
"Eighth, ninth, and tenth levels of Qi Refining! Humph! The three of you are truly as slanted as the steps of a ladder!"
Then, he looked at Qinglian expressionlessly and asked, "Xiaoqing, are there only three of us this year?"
Qinglian laughed bitterly upon hearing this, "Master, in the past thirty years, we have been frequently recruiting new disciples. People who know how to form formations are already rare. Now, there are not many people who are good at formations in Tianhuai Country."
The middle-aged Jindan cultivator nodded and said, "Let's begin!"
As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards a chair. As he walked, he slapped his storage bag, and three small formations that were somewhat similar but different flew towards the three of them and hovered in front of them.
Qinglian heard what his master said, responded, looked at the three people and explained.
"This formation in front of you is your test. As long as you can imitate the patterns on it and refine an identical formation, you will pass the test and become a formation master of my Hehuan Sect."
This stone chamber was large enough to accommodate dozens of people without being crowded. Xuan Kun and the other two lined up in a row. The man and woman at the eighth and tenth levels of Qi Refining looked at the exquisite formation floating in front of them and couldn't help showing some difficulty on their faces. It was obvious that this exquisite formation had stumped them.
Xuan Kun looked at the formation in front of him and understood the Hehuan Sect's idea, thinking to himself.
"This formation should be an imitation of Senior Brother Jinxing's formation, that is, an imitation of the Five Elements Tai Chi Bagua formation combination."
A large formation is generally composed of countless small formations. The power of a single small formation is extremely low, but when countless small formations are combined together to form a large formation, its power can reach the sky and break through the impasse.
There are also large formations that are refined through a process of refining. The strength of the refiners is also terrifyingly powerful. However, the strength of the gold element of the Five Elements Sect is only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, so they take the first path, relying on countless small formations combined together, one ring inside another, to form a connected large formation.
The defensive power of the Five Elements Tai Chi Bagua Formation directly reached the level of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Without the intervention of a great cultivator, the Five Elements Gate could not be broken. This formation that had protected the Five Elements Gate for hundreds of years was broken by a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage dispatched by the Yin-Yang Divine Sect, resulting in the tragedy of the annihilation of the Five Elements Gate.
In the small formation in front of Xuan Kun, black and white light was scattered on it. The formation was exquisite and the formation was rigorous. Looking at the formation, Xuan Kun chuckled.
"Haha, so this is the secret of why the Hehuan Sect is in urgent need of a formation master?"
As he spoke, Xuan Kun stopped looking at the formation floating in front of him and instead looked at Qinglian, who was already slightly angry in front of him.
Hearing Xuan Kun's words, Qinglian couldn't help showing displeasure on his face, frowning, and said angrily in a cold voice.
"Huh? What about the Hehuan Sect urgently needing the secrets of the formation master? If you can refine it, refine it. If not, then die here."
Xuan Kun was not looking at him. A three-colored spiritual light flashed around his body, and the stone chamber was already wrapped and sealed. He simply raised his hand and slapped out with a palm, knocking Qinglian away. He stared directly at the middle-aged cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage who was sitting on a chair not far away, and spoke calmly word by word.
"You want to repair the Five Elements Tai Chi Bagua Formation and bring it to its peak condition to protect you... Hehuan Branch Sect!"
As soon as Xuan Kun's spiritual power came out, the middle-aged Jindan cultivator was ejected from the chair. Looking at his disciple who had turned into meat paste, and the calm-faced and ordinary-looking young man of the ninth level of Qi Refining, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
"You...you...who are you?"
