Chapter 2166 - 2166 2156 Five Elements Wheel

2166: Chapter 2156: Five Elements Wheel 2166: Chapter 2156: Five Elements Wheel The words of Tian Shu resonated with a profound impact among the crowd; the issue with Seven-Star Hall wasn’t about a shaky foundation, but rather a complete lack of one.

First and foremost was the protective sect formation.

Without one, how could a sect even think about joining Saint Que?

The protective formations here in the Saint Que Sects are not like those of the Blood Sect.

Each sect within Saint Que has a powerful formation serving as its protective barrier, like the one previously used by the Seven-Star Hall, which doesn’t even rank within Saint Que.

“Sect Leader, I think this matter needs further discussion.”

An Elder stepped forward and spoke to Tian Shu, the fact that Long Yan had brought back a Great Formation for protection hadn’t yet been informed to all Elders.

After speaking, the Elder turned his gaze towards Zhou Xuantong.

He wasn’t trying to gang up or form cliques; it was simply because as Long Yan’s master, Zhou Xuantong held a paramount status in the Seven-Star Hall.

If it weren’t for his indifference to fame and fortune, his position might even surpass that of Tian Shu, the Sect Leader.

“You don’t have to worry about the protective sect formation.

Just now, my disciple Long Yan has already brought back the Eight Desolation Demon Cauldron, which is a top-grade treasure.”

“What?”

The Elder exclaimed in shock, a top-grade treasure is something many Saint Que Sects wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

A Great Formation made from a top-grade treasure would definitely be a notch above other formations in power.

“But we don’t have a formation diagram.”

Although the Elder was taken aback by the top-grade treasure, he soon realized the problem.

It’s like having a highly skilled warrior without a weapon: not perfect.

“As for the formation diagram, I happen to have one here.

It was discovered alongside the Eight Desolation Demon Cauldron.

Take a look, gentlemen, can this formation be set up?”

Long Yan took out the formation diagram from Inside Azure Dragon Ring.

Long Yan didn’t understand the scribbles on it, so much so that he almost forgot about it.

It was only with the Elder’s reminder today that he remembered to bring out the formation diagram.

The person who had just spoken was responsible for sect formations.

Hearing Long Yan’s words, he cautiously took the diagram from Long Yan’s hands and carefully studied the doodles on it.

The more he looked at the diagram, the more startled he became.

What kind of extraordinary genius could invent such a formation?

To be honest, the intricacies of this formation were profound, and it was not something he could set up alone.

The Elder shook his head; he could barely make sense of the formation, let alone set it up.

There wasn’t even certainty about deciphering it, not to mention much of the precious material required could not be prepared in one or two days.

Tian Shu fell into deep contemplation.

The precious materials for the formation could be bought from other sects or auction houses with money, but if they couldn’t set it up, then all would be in vain.

“I do have someone in mind.”

Zhou Xuantong stroked his beard before speaking; the situation reminded him of someone, an individual Tian Shu also knew well—a younger generation Array Master.

Even the initial formation of the Seven-Star Hall was his work, and if it were him, it might just be doable.

“Could it be?”

Obviously, Tian Shu already knew who that person was, yet that person has always been unwilling to meddle in mundane affairs.

A look of doubt appeared in Tian Shu’s eyes.

If it were that person, such a Great Formation would certainly not be an issue, but whether they would be willing to help was another matter altogether.

On this point, Zhou Xuantong evidently had no answer.

“But for now, we have no choice but to try.”

After Tian Shu made up his mind, he spoke of a past event.

In fact, before Tian Shu became the Hall Master of the Seven-Star Hall, besides Zhou Xuantong, Tian Shu had another Senior Brother, who was the son of their master.

This Senior Brother was named Feng Tianlu.

Feng Tianlu’s cultivation base was fairly average.

However, he was a prodigy in formations, capable of slowly deciphering even the most peculiar and obscure formations.

Therefore, even with a weak cultivation base, he always held a high reputation within the sect.

However, after completing the Seven-Star Hall’s protective Great Formation, the Seven-Star Hall experienced a battle for leadership that came from the Sect Leader.

Seeing the chaos within the Seven-Star Hall, Feng Tianlu resolutely gave up the position of Hall Master and went into seclusion in the mountains and forests.

Until now, only after their master’s death did he return to take a glance at the Seven-Star Hall.

Afterward, he never had any contact with the Seven-Star Hall again.

This story, as told by Tian Shu, carried a sense of melancholy and struck like a small hammer on everyone’s hearts.

How could they possibly invite him back for help under such circumstances?

Could they appeal to sentimentality?

Perhaps no one but Zhou Xuantong or Tian Shu themselves could see him.

“Never mind, we have to try.

Long Yan, go make the trip.

Bring my letter with you.”

“If he agrees, then good.

If not, then let it be.”

Everyone cast pitying gazes toward Long Yan.

This task was no sinecure, as getting berated was the least to expect; it was entirely possible that he could face a beating.

“Disciple is willing to go.”

Though Long Yan had some reluctance, since even his master and Tian Shu had said as much, it seemed he had no choice but to go.

“Remember, his location is Green Vine Mountain, and also, take this with you.”

Zhou Xuantong took out a semi-circular thing from the Storage Ring and stuffed it into Long Yan’s hand.

Long Yan looked at the item in his hand in surprise; it somewhat resembled a Tai Chi Diagram but felt like a weapon to the touch, cold to the skin.

What truly astonished Long Yan, though, was that it carried an ineffable aura, as if it contained the attributes of all Five Elements.

“This is called the Five Elements Wheel and can gather True Qi of various atributes from the heavens and the earth, later unleashing it as damage.

It is also a relic left by the previous Sect Leader.”

Zhou Xuantong explained upon seeing Long Yan’s puzzled face.

It was the relic left by Feng Tianlu’s father.

Zhou Xuantong’s intentions were clear: for Long Yan to exchange the Five Elements Wheel for his assistance.

Long Yan solemnly accepted the Five Elements Wheel.

This was a belonging of the former Hall Master of the Seven-Star Hall, and entrusting it to a disciple was a significant show of trust.

This trust made Long Yan feel a profound sense of responsibility.

“I will not disappoint.”

Long Yan’s typical demeanor was carefree, but today his words carried more weight than usual, eliciting a look of approval from Zhou Xuantong’s face.

Among the many decisions Zhou Xuantong had made on the long Immortal Path, choosing Long Yan as an apprentice was the most correct.

His apprentice was someone who turned the impossible into the possible.

“Right, currently at Green Vine Mountain, that guy seems to have organized some sort of gathering where the winner might have a chance to see him.”

Tian Shu added.

This was all the information they had.

As for the location of Green Vine Mountain, it was somewhat unexpected for Long Yan; it turned out to be near the territory of the Heaven and Earth Gang.

Quite the coincidence, but if Ouyang Chen didn’t seek trouble with him, that’s fine; otherwise, Long Yan might just have an opportunity to plant his foot in his face.
