Chapter 1139: Chapter 1139: The Formation That Gave Birth to a Formation Spirit

Azure Dragon, Bai Hu, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise.

These were the "Four Symbols" the old man had spoken of and represented the identities of the four human-shaped shadows before him.

As long as he could defeat these four, he would obtain the legendary powerful Spiritual Technique.

However, each of their auras was stronger than the next.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Ning Fan felt that, in terms of sheer power, they were already on par with Zhai Yonghui of the Flying Immortal Sect.

The old man casually reminded, "I’d advise against trying to take on all of them at once; you definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand them together."

Ning Fan smiled, "I’m well aware of that, elder, rest assured."

Each one of these individuals possessed extraordinary strength, he must have been out of his mind to wage war against them all at once.

Ning Fan scrutinized the four, carefully sensing the distinct auras emanating from each of them.

Each of the Four Symbols harbored different powers.

Azure Dragon like water, Bai Hu like metal, Vermilion Bird like fire, Black Tortoise like earth.

After much contemplation, Ning Fan chose the Black Tortoise as his first opponent.

According to the old man’s words, with every opponent he defeated, he would gain a part of their abilities.

The other three gave off an aura that was too overwhelmingly fierce.

Even if Ning Fan went all out, he likely couldn’t handle their attacks.

It was better to choose the clearly more defensively-inclined Black Tortoise as his first opponent, to defeat and obtain its defensive abilities—which was the best choice.

"Then I’ll start with Black Tortoise."

Seeing Ning Fan had chosen his opponent, the old man nodded.

Just as he was about to let Ning Fan begin, he suddenly said, "Elder, could you open up the formation? My friends are still outside and might be worried about me."

"Okay."

The old man waved his hand, dispersing the formation around them, revealing the scene outside.

At that moment, outside the formation, The Man in the Black Mist, Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng, Huang Gu, and the Sect Masters of the four sects were all nervously watching the situation inside the formation.

"The Sect Master won’t be in trouble, right?"

"I don’t know... He was just sucked into the formation."

"If the Sect Master really can’t come out, no matter how dangerous this formation is, I will definitely go in!"

Just then, the formation before them started to change.

Ning Fan’s figure suddenly appeared before everyone, alongside an old man, calmly observing the crowd.

"Sect Master!"

"Sect Master, are you alright?"

"Who is that old man next to him?"

The crowd first concerned itself with Ning Fan’s safety, and once assured of his well-being, they then noticed the old man beside him.

The Man in the Black Mist stared intently at the old man, a shadow of gloom flickering across his eyes.

"This guy is the formation’s spirit!"

The old man, in turn, watched The Man in the Black Mist from afar, his expression still untroubled, but a hint of disgust flickered in his eyes.

"A ghost that devours the blood and flesh of living beings dares to appear before me, clueless of his own impending doom!"

Although the two had never met before, their inherent conflicting auras made them instantaneously hostile like fire and water.

If not for Ning Fan’s presence, they might have started fighting the moment they met.

"Please, let’s not start off on such a confrontational note," Ning Fan said with a wry smile, "the misunderstandings from before were all just that—misunderstandings."

He then introduced the relationship between the two parties to everyone, again eliciting shocked expressions from the crowd.

"So, even this formation was created by Ning Fan’s mother, the elder dragon?"

"My heavens, what kind of formidable power is this!"

"It’s unbelievable... I can’t believe that such a powerful cultivator exists in this world."

Faces full of awe, the crowd could hardly believe their eyes.

The power used in this formation was beyond their wildest imaginations.

What’s more, this was a formation that gave birth to a spirit!

The fact that an inanimate object could be brought to life with spiritual intelligence indicated how powerful the creator of this formation must have been.

Such a person was Ning Fan’s mother!

While they had known this fact before, each time they thought about it, they still found it incredible.

It felt like someone ordinary suddenly becoming a billionaire, a legendary figure appearing right beside them, it all seemed a bit absurd.

After hearing Ning Fan’s explanation, members like Fierce Lion and Miao Si were particularly agitated.

They were so close to acquiring the second part of the Spiritual Technique.

"Oh heavens... we were just a step away..."

Miao Si stared intently at the four blurry shadows, nearly grinding his molars to dust.

If he hadn’t chased after Ning Fan back then and had instead ventured deeper, he might have discovered this formation earlier.

Then, everything inside this formation would have been his, along with the latter half of the Spiritual Technique firmly within his grasp.

It wouldn’t have ended up in this kid’s hands!

"Because of chasing Ning Fan, we missed out on so much!"

"Who the hell came up with the idea to chase after this kid?" Miao Si couldn’t help but turn and glare at the other Sect Masters, venting his anger on them.

Fierce Lion rolled his eyes and couldn’t help but say, "It was you who was insisting on chasing after this kid from the start, wasn’t it?"

Miao Si was stunned for a moment before turning his head away, "Cough cough... let’s leave the past in the past; no need to bring that up again."

Then, under everyone’s gaze, Ning Fan stood before the Black Tortoise, ready to begin the trial to inherit the Spiritual Technique.

"These four shadows are very powerful," Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng said gravely.

He could distinctly feel a strong threat emanating from these four shadows.

It was like a herbivore encountering a predator, the feeling of meeting a natural enemy.
