"No problem," said Zhao Tianlong.
"As it should be. I should also get back to Lingyin Hall and check on things," Wu Fatian said with a smile.
Thunderbolt’s mouth fell open. ’This shaless bunch, poaching my talent and then acting all smug about it.’
"Good riddance. I won’t see you out."
"Haha, how could I dare trouble you, Senior Brother? I’ll be on my way."
Wu Fatian laughed heartily. ’Even though I was furious earlier, this Old Lei is still a bit too simple-minded. When you find a talent like this, you obviously secure them as a disciple first before showing them off. Who would be as foolish as him?’
The three Ancestral Masters left one after another, but Zhou Feng and Luu Yun remained. Zhou Feng was clearly planning to stake the place out, even if Thunderbolt didn’t want him around. As for Luu Yun, she wanted to see if this extraordinary kid really had three heads and six arms.
Liangyuan left. He simply couldn’t stand to stay any longer. If his state of mind hadn’t improved after his defeat to Li Tianyi, today’s events alone would have been enough to kill him from sheer frustration.
In just a short while, Wang ng had beco an inspirational icon in Thunderlight Hall. If soone at the Second Layer of Life Mark could seize an opportunity to shine through sheer effort, how could they allow themselves to fall behind?
The mont he entered the Holy Hall, he didn’t rush to suck up to the Elders or flatter the senior brothers. Instead, he focused on diligent, quiet cultivation. ’What about us?’
Who among them hadn’t first focused on getting familiar with everyone, doing this and that, and forgetting that true improvent cos from hard work?
Diligently cultivating could bring not just improvent, but leaps forward, even miracles. ’Maybe one day, I’ll have a sudden breakthrough too and earn the admiration of the Ancestral Masters!’
Wang ng gave everyone hope.
Thunderlight Hall was now buzzing with excitent, but the one who started it all had no idea what was happening.
Wang ng never would have imagined the Ancestral Masters would co to watch. The Holy Hall Pavilion was actually on an Immortal Mountain near the Main Hall, and right now, Wang ng was at a spot on its summit.
"Senior Brother Wang, we’ve arrived. This is the place." Anx Dao was still very polite. He had originally wanted to use Sword Flight directly, but was surprised to find that his companion couldn’t yet control a sword.
Sword Cultivators at Level 15 or higher could practice the Sword Control Skill. Of course, the skill consud an extre amount of Elental Power, but it was manageable for short distances. Anx Dao could only patiently walk up the mountain with Wang ng.
This took up a fair bit of ti. The two chatted idly along the way, and Anx Dao found Wang ng to be down-to-earth and quite straightforward.
Wang ng’s impression of Lingyin Hall was also quite good. They were strong, and they didn’t have the nasty habit of bullying the weak.
In his mind, this was how the atmosphere among Saint Cultivators should be.
In terms of talent and techniques, Saint Cultivators were actually milder compared to Demon Cultivators. Milder ant weaker and slower. If they couldn’t find a way to complent each other’s strengths in their cultivation, it was only a matter of ti before they were completely replaced by Demon Cultivators.
As for Evil Cultivators, although their strength was not to be underestimated, they were few in number. Besides, Wang ng knew very well that the path of an Evil Cultivator was innately a road of no return.
Mingren and the others had indeed been waiting for quite so ti, but they showed no signs of impatience.
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Wang is here."
Wang ng smiled. "What’s with the big formation? Don’t scare now."
Mingren laughed as well. ’This guy is really interesting.’ "Is there anything that can scare you, Junior Brother Wang?"
"Wang ng, the Hundred Treasures Hall eting is a rare opportunity, but I figured you wouldn’t be interested in the stuff at the stalls, so I wanted to let you see our Lingyin Hall’s Heaven and Earth Five Extres Formation."
Li Tianyi said. He was typically one to judge others by his own standards. Mingren smiled wryly to himself. ’Everyone else had prepared a lot for the Hundred Treasures Hall eting.’
"Sure. How does it work?" Wang ng was indifferent. ’Heaven and Earth Five Extres Formation... that’s a pretty intimidating na.’
He had noticed that the nas of Cultivation Techniques these days were all very grand. In his previous life, only techniques from a Grand Thousand World would have such domineering nas—and of course, their power was just as domineering.
Li Tianyi smiled. "See? I told you he wouldn’t be scared. Wang ng, you don’t have to do anything today. Just watch."
Li Tianyi stood in the center, while Mingren and the other Lingyin Four Tigers surrounded him. The Heaven and Earth Five Extres Formation was a combined array of Lingyin Hall. It was originally an Array Technique that brought great prestige to Lingyin Hall within the Holy Hall, a powerful tool against sieges. Unfortunately, when Ning Zhiquan had visited Lingyin Hall years ago, he had fought one against five, breaking the formation to claim victory. That battle established Ning Zhiquan’s status as unmatched among the younger generation, and the Lingyin Five Extres Array was reduced to a re foil, its fa gone.
Although the formation’s patterns were top secret, in Li Tianyi’s view, any technique that had been defeated was worthless. Still, it seed a sha to let the Heaven and Earth Five Extres Formation go to waste, as it did have its unique aspects. As strong as Li Tianyi was, his eye for detail was still a bit lacking, which was why he thought of Wang ng.
It was only because Mingren was so easygoing that he let Li Tianyi cause such a fuss.
The Heaven and Earth Five Extres Formation was very special. It was composed of five disciples who practiced Talisman and Sword Dual Cultivation. The requirents were incredibly high, and only Lingyin Hall could produce such cultivators.
Normally, a Sword Cultivator couldn’t bring out the full power of Talismans, but Lingyin Hall was the exception. Sword Cultivators using a combined talismanic array could indeed unleash unimaginable power.
Of course, the selection of these disciples was exceptionally strict. Talisman and Sword Dual Cultivation had always been a specialty of Lingyin.
Mingren and the others held back their power; this was a demonstration of the array, not a real battle. Nevertheless, with the five of them acting as one unit, enhanced by the talismanic array, the power of this Sword Array was dazzling and incredibly difficult to face. Li Tianyi’s thod for dealing with this Sword Array was to fight strength with strength, using offense as his defense, relying on his magnificent Sword Technique to counter it.
Under normal circumstances, in the Heaven and Earth Five Extres Formation, five people united as one would always be stronger than a single person. But Li Tianyi was different. He had the Nine Heavens Separation Fire Sword, and with its overwhelmingly powerful instantaneous attack, he could shatter the Five Extres Array in a single blow.
In that one instant, he had to unleash power greater than the five’s combined attack.
It was a magnificent battle, with both sides going at it full tilt, yet Wang ng felt an urge to fall asleep.
"Wang ng, what do you think? Did you see anything?" Li Tianyi asked after they dismantled the Sword Array.
Although Mingren and the others didn’t have high expectations, they had still gone through the trouble of demonstrating it and hoped for so kind of feedback.
"It’s great."
"Great? That’s it?" Li Tianyi was stunned.
"Well, what did you expect?"
"I just feel like this Array Technique can still be perfected, that it can be stronger. Otherwise, how could it have been broken?"
Wang ng chuckled. "There’s no such thing as an invincible formation in this world, especially one with so many people. Instead of spending your energy on this, you’d be better off thinking about how to improve yourselves. After all, it’s not like the five of you can ascend together, right?"
Mingren and the others looked at each other, at a loss for words. While what he said was true, this Array Technique was still one of Lingyin Hall’s unique masterpieces. It could bring out the full power of Talisman and Sword Dual Cultivation, which was a completely different matter from whether or not one could ascend.
"You really don’t have any thoughts on it?" Li Tianyi still hadn’t given up.
Wang ng shrugged helplessly. "It might just be a matter of personal preference. I prefer to rely on individual strength."
Li Tianyi mulled it over but still felt a little disappointed.
Wang ng sighed. "To be honest, I think it would be more effective if Brother Ming focused on control rather than attack. This whole multi-person formation thing is pretty boring, really."
Faint traces of anger appeared on the faces of the Lingyin Four Tigers. This was one of Lingyin Hall’s signature techniques, yet this kid was mocking it relentlessly. It was a complete loss of face. ’What a nerve! We already humbled ourselves by doing this. If it weren’t for Li Tianyi, who would have bothered? And this guy has the gall to act so high and mighty!’
