LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 34 - Grand Clan Protective Formation
Qing Yu’s body radiated her master’s aura.
Xiao Lingchen had no doubt that she was sent by her master.
He became a little more respectful towards her and asked,
“Qing Yu, did your master send you here for some reason?”
Without further ado, Qing Yu got right to the point:
“You have been gone for several months, and the Sect Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin.
“Whoever comes in first will be able to enter the Zhenwu Space and seek their opportunities.”
“This is a rare opportunity. Your master has ordered me to inform you to return to the sect to participate in the competition.”
Xiao Lingchen bowed:
“The disciple obeys.”
Originally, Xiao Lingchen was a bit tempted after learning about the Zhenwu Space from Ning Huanhuan.
Now that he had received his master’s order, Xiao Lingchen naturally agreed without thinking.
Even Master wants me to enter the Zhenwu space.
It seems that there are indeed great opportunities in this Zhenwu Space!
Qingyu nodded upon seeing this.
“In that case, let’s leave as soon as possible. I’ll go back first and report to Master.”
After saying this, a gust of wind came and Qingyu disappeared into a puff of green smoke.
After Qingyu left, Xiao Tan and Xiao Huan looked reluctant:
“Lingchen, are you going back to the sect?”
Xiao Lingchen said,
“It is difficult to disobey the master’s orders, and besides, the master is doing this for my own good.”
“If I can enter the Zhenwu space after this competition and find the supreme opportunity, it will be of great benefit to me.”
Although they were reluctant, Xiao Tan and Xiao Huan were not unreasonable people:
“In that case, go ahead.”
“Be careful on the way and during the competition.”
“Don’t let your great strength go to your head. Remember, there are always people better than you, and the arrogant will always fall.
If they wanted to, they could actually enter the secret realm of the Creation Cauldron and go with Xiao Lingchen.
But what would be the point of them going? Besides, the roots of the Xiao family were here, and if they wanted the family to grow, they had no choice but to stay.
Xiao Lingchen bowed:
“Understood.”
“By the way, Father, how is the Grand Clan Protection Formation coming along?”
Now, the Xiao family not only controls the resources of the Creation Cauldron, but also the resources of the millions of cultivators who died in the Secret Realm.
Some of them contain powerful formations that can be used to build the Grand Clan Protection Formation around the Xiao family.
This way, even if Xiao Lingchen leaves, the Xiao family will have more ways to protect themselves.
Xiao Tan was happy to hear this:
“During this period of time, many powerful people have come to seek refuge with our Xiao family, including some powerful array practitioners.
“With them working day and night, the Grand Clan Protection Formation will probably be completed tomorrow!”
Xiao Lingchen nodded:
“Good, in that case, I’ll wait until the formation is completed tomorrow before I leave.”
Right now, the Xiao family seems to be flourishing.
However, they have also made many enemies.
Only after the Grand Clan Protection Formation is completed will Xiao Lingchen be able to return in peace.
Of course, Xiao Tan had no objection.
Then he turned to Ning Huanhuan:
“Miss Ning, if you’re not in a hurry, why don’t you stay one more night? You can leave with Lingchen tomorrow and you’ll have someone to keep you company on the way.
Ning Huanhuan thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
That night, the Xiao family held a large family banquet in the hall.
Ever since Xiao Lingchen’s return, everyone had been busy as bees, either dealing with family matters or practicing relentlessly.
Now that Xiao Lingchen was leaving, they naturally wanted to have a good time together.
The family banquet was full of joy and happiness, with glasses and dishes mingling and everyone leaving in high spirits.
Xiao Lingchen had drunk a lot of wine that night.
He went back to his room and fell asleep.
But on the other side, Ning Huanhuan could not sleep.
Due to her childhood experiences, she had developed the habit of always wanting to cultivate.
After dinner, she would return to her room early to continue her cultivation.
However, she discovered that after she reached the sixth level of the Dao Palace, her cultivation had slowed down by more than ten times!
Especially after experiencing the sweetness of cultivation skyrocketing, this slow cultivation method made her feel very disappointed.
Every time she entered a cultivation state, she would give up after a moment because the aura was being absorbed so slowly, and she felt restless.
What’s more,
Strange images would appear in her mind uncontrollably, making her dry up and unable to calm down and cultivate.
“No, cultivators like us should endure loneliness and cultivate step by step with our own abilities.”
“How can I willingly degenerate and sink to such a level?”
Ning Huanhuan took a deep breath, closed her eyes again, and tried to calm her mind.
But in the end, she still failed.
“Forget it. We cultivators should follow our hearts. Forcing ourselves to suppress our desires will only breed demons in our hearts and hinder our progress.”
“Besides… that guy should be happy about this, right?”
With these thoughts, Ning Huanhuan silently got out of bed.
She entered Xiao Lingchen’s room in the dark.
……………………………
The next day.
The Grand Clan Protection Formation was set up.
At that moment, the Xiao residence, which had been expanded to two or three times its original size, was surrounded by a formation that looked like the shell of a giant egg.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Xiao family, Xiao Lingchen personally inspected the defensive power of the Grand Clan’s protective formation.
With the Phoenix Emperor Sword in his hand, he flew into the air and slashed down with a single strike!
He only used one-tenth of his strength for the first strike, and it was successfully blocked by the formation.
It wasn’t until he increased his power to half and slashed down again that the Grand Clan Protection Formation faltered and a sword scar appeared.
The formation master who had been taken in by the Xiao family quickly stepped forward to repair it.
In no time, the sword scar was repaired to the point where it was visible to the naked eye.
At this point, Xiao Lingchen no longer needed to continue the test.
“Father.”
Upon returning to the ground, Xiao Lingchen was immediately surrounded by everyone.
Xiao Tan hurriedly asked,
“Chén’er, how effective is this Grand Clan Protective Formation?”
Xiao Lingchen said truthfully:
“The effect is very good, it can withstand an attack of 50% of my strength, with this level of defense, if the Dao Palace cultivators do not use external forces, it is almost impossible to break through this formation.”
“Even if a cultivator from the Breaking Delusion Realm arrives, as long as the opponent has not reached the third level or higher in strength, with the blessings of the two formation masters, Old Liu and Old Zhang, it will be extremely difficult to break through the defense for a while.
Old Liu and Old Zhang, you two have worked hard.”
Upon hearing Xiao Lingchen’s comments, a happy smile appeared on the faces of everyone in the Xiao family.
The two cultivation masters, Old Liu and Old Zhang, were a little overwhelmed by Xiao Lingchen’s concern.
They kept saying, “This is what we should do.
In their opinion, it was already a great fortune to be able to stay in the Xiao family!
They had heard that the disciples of the Taixuan Sect had benefited from a ray of Creation Qi.
With the existence of a demon like Xiao Lingchen in the Xiao family, as long as they worked hard for the Xiao family, they would be able to rise to great heights in the future.
After testing the effectiveness of the Grand Clan Protective Formation,
it was finally time to hit the road.
