The Great Elder Is Slandering Me, Chu Xinghe!

Chu Xinghe swore an oath to the heavens, and then swore a curse!

Chu Xinghe was really just lying in the rocking chair, happily rocking back and forth. I really didn't do anything to anyone!

I'll just enjoy my own happiness!

I didn't perform any of those random, unnecessary operations!

But in this situation, we don't know where the hell went wrong... This Misfortune Compass suddenly started spinning slower...

Based on Chu Xinghe's years of understanding of the Misfortune Compass, this was either a sign that a knife had appeared, or a harbinger of its appearance!

Chu Xinghe swore to the heavens, "This time, nobody can do anything about it!"

I have to nip this in the bud.

This time, Chu Xinghe is determined to have fun, and nobody can stop me!

After leaving the Spirit Crane Palace, Chu Xinghe headed straight for the Dead Spirit Realm!

Along the way, Chu Xinghe prayed, "Heavenly spirits and earthly spirits, please, please, Dead Spirit Realm, don't you dare have any problems!"

You are my Chu Xinghe's sustainable recyclable resource...

If something goes wrong with you, I'm totally doomed...

After inspecting the Dead Spirit Realm for half a day, Chu Xinghe discovered that there was absolutely no problem with the Dead Spirit Realm... The Dead Spirit Realm was still consuming resources very steadily!

The disciple responsible for guarding the Dead Spirit Realm said, "Senior Brother Xinghe, we strictly follow your instructions. We throw in exactly the amount of resources the Dead Spirit Realm needs. We dare not waste a single resource..."

There are definitely no problems in the Dead Spirit Realm!

Seeing that the Necromancer Dead Spirit Realm was completely fine and still consuming resources normally, Chu Xinghe felt much relieved...

As long as there are no problems with the Dead Spirit Realm, the advantage lies with me Chu Xinghe!

But just as he thought of this, Chu Xinghe remembered the four thousand newly recruited disciples...

Could something strange have happened to these new disciples?

So Chu Xinghe rushed to the Formation Spirit Palace without stopping!

"Setting up an array requires memorizing every single array pattern. You've been studying even the simplest array pattern for three days now, and you still can't remember it?"

"Oh dear... the array formation you've arranged over there is seriously flawed; the array simply can't support it!"

"What are you doing... Look at the array patterns you drew! They're worse than a three-year-old's!"

Even before entering the Formation Spirit Palace, Chu Xinghe knew that this Formation Spirit Palace was absolutely safe!

There won't be any problems here at all.

And just as Chu Xinghe had imagined, all the Formation Spirit Clan in the entire Formation Spirit Palace were teaching these newly initiated disciples array techniques.

However, as everyone knows, this formation is not something you can learn just because you want to!

Formations truly require a great deal of talent... If someone with a talent for formations and someone without that talent study formations together, their achievements will be completely different.

Perhaps there isn't much difference when you first start out, since learning formations tests not only your talent for formations, but also your memory.

The prodigies all have good memories. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Formation Spirit Clan is always cursing their junior brothers and sisters for being pig-brains because they can't even remember these array patterns.

Actually, this is normal... If you could learn all kinds of array patterns in three days, that's not called array talent, that's called Innate Formation Mastery!

Therefore, although the methods taught by the Formation Spirit Clan were somewhat crude, everything was within a reasonable range.

What truly influences a formation master's Future achievements is the success rate of setting up formations after mastering the skill!

To give an example, White Tiger, with its Innate Formation Mastery, were to set up a formation, you would almost never see its White Tiger fail.

This is the terrifying bonus brought by talent. Even if some array patterns are wrong, many arrays can still succeed. This is the terrifying power of Innate Formation Mastery!

However, if it were someone with top-tier formation talent, setting up formations—let's not even talk about ordinary small formations—and even just the kind of formations that can be quickly set up during battle, and being able to maintain a success rate of over 90% would already be terrifying.

After all, battles are subject to various influences, so a 90% success rate for formation deployment is quite high!

However, if someone has only average talent in formations, their success rate in setting up formations during battle might only be around 40% to 50%!

If someone has poor talent in formations, their success rate in setting up a formation might only be 10% or 20%!

Therefore, the talent of a formation master is not reflected in the speed of progress when learning formations, since most formations require rote memorization.

As long as your memory is good enough, you will definitely be able to learn it.

But being able to learn something doesn't necessarily mean you can use it!

If your formation has only a 10-20% success rate, in a life-or-death situation, would you choose to gamble with that 10-20% chance using the formation, or would you choose to grab a cleaver and start hacking people to death?

There are no problems at the Formation Spirit Palace right now. The disciples are mainly in the learning stage, and their learning speed is about the same at this stage. As for the frequent failures in setting up arrays, that's normal.

Expecting a beginner to succeed every time is a bit too unrealistic, isn't it?

So there are no problems on the Formation Spirit Palace side either...

Consume resources as usual... the key is stability!

For safety's sake, Chu Xinghe specifically instructed all the disciples of the Formation Spirit Palace not to cause any trouble and to teach them using the most traditional methods!

Focus on building a solid foundation; the stronger the foundation, the better!

What the heck? You're saying it increases the success rate of formations!

Improve my ass! No need for improvement, just focus on building a solid foundation! Ignore everything else!

Although they didn't know what Senior Brother Xinghe was planning, the junior Senior Brother Xinghe and sisters of the Formation Spirit Palace assured him that they would definitely teach him according to Senior Brother Xinghe requirements.

Formation Spirit Palace is fine, then could it be that bastard Ma Liang has stirred up some trouble again?

When Chu Xinghe found Ma Liang was pointing at several core disciples and berating them mercilessly!

After all, one of Ma Liang's daily tasks was to inspect the sect on behalf of the Grand Elder.

If Ma Liang catches you, he'll absolutely beat you so badly you won't be able to take care of yourself!

At this moment, Ma Liang thought, "You guys are really something... You're all core disciples, from now on I'll call you senior brothers... I'm just a lowly, permanent, low-ranking outer disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land... You don't listen to a word I say!"

In that case... I'll just hand you over to the Grand Elder. He'll definitely be willing to educate you!

Good heavens, several core disciples were so scared they peed their pants on the spot...

Handing it over to the Grand Elder? That'd be like being skinned alive...

The Grand Elder now punishes anyone who disagrees with him with a hundred years of solitary confinement!

Do you think everyone is like Senior Brother Huang Ritian, daring to confront the Grand Elder head-on?

Senior Brother Huang is the Future leader of the Civil Engineering Department. No matter how many years Huang Ritian been imprisoned, his position as the chief disciple is definitely unshakeable!

What the heck? You're saying Gui Li has a chance of becoming the chief disciple?

Everyone knows that's impossible!

The reason is simple... There are generally two ways to select a chief disciple. The first is by appointment by the head elder. However, in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, even if the head elder of each palace wants to appoint a chief disciple, they must first see if the chief disciple is qualified and whether he has the support of the vast majority of his fellow disciples in the palace!

What the hell? You're saying Gui Li doesn't have the qualifications?

Gui Li has absolutely no right to do this!

If a vote for chief disciple were held right now, not even the Azure Dragon in the entire Civil Engineering Department would cast a single vote for Gui Li!

Therefore, in the Civil Engineering Department, Gui Li can forget about ever getting the position of chief disciple in his lifetime!

Of course, Gui Li didn't care about that. Gui Li believed that being the chief disciple was all an illusion, and that working was the only true joy!

So what's your background? You dare to be like Huang Ritian?

After checking, it was found that Ma Liang hadn't done anything wrong!

Chu Xinghe was just wandering around the Vast Heaven Holy Land...

All the palaces seem to be perfectly normal...

This damn Misfortune Compass, are you trying to cause me trouble?

Look at this, everything's normal, there's absolutely no way to make a killing here.

Why is the Misfortune Compass spinning slower?

This is absolutely bizarre!

That's absolutely unreasonable of you!

Just as Chu Xinghe complaining, he arrived at the Civil Engineering Department!

Just as Chu Xinghe into the Department of the Civil Engineering Department, he realized something was wrong!

There's a murderous aura about him!

Why the hell are all the students in the Civil Engineering Department looking at me with murderous intent?!

No! It's not that all the disciples of the Civil Engineering Department are murderous; everyone except Gui Li exudes killing intent!

Look at how Chu Xinghe goes to the other palaces; when the disciples meet him, they all come up to greet him and call him Senior Brother Xinghe!

But when he got to the Civil Engineering Department, not a single person paid any attention to Chu Xinghe, not even Gui Li!

Gui Li was busy with work and didn't have time to pay attention to Chu Xinghe!

This isn't right!

The disciples of the Civil Engineering Department haven't been exuding such a murderous aura lately!

After all, look at me, the Dead Spirit Realm I created, plus four thousand array mages, consumed a lot of resources. This time, I successfully relieved the pressure on the Civil Engineering department!

Why are you all so murderous now?

But Chu Xinghe quickly realized something was wrong!

Why the hell is the Civil Engineering Department going on such a crazy spree of building treasure troves?

Logically speaking, given the expenditures on both sides, plus the 40 million spirit stones just sent out, the work of the Civil Engineering Departments should have been much easier...

But why does it look heavier now?

Just as Chu Xinghe was still in a daze, Huang Ritian, half-asleep and half-awake, appeared!

From Huang Ritian's half-asleep state, Chu Xinghe finally understood why this had happened!

"What the hell? The resources were sent by the Grand Elder? The Grand Elder said I got them? That's slander! The Grand Elder is slandering me! Don't look at me like that, this is absolutely slander, the Grand Elder is slandering me! The Grand Elder is slandering me!"

Chu Xinghe was so angry he almost peed his pants!

Even if it's the most respected elder, I Chu Xinghe, won't allow this!

Isn't this blatant slander?

I, Chu Xinghe, haven't provoked or offended anyone these past few days; I've simply been lying low. Now the Grand Elder is saying that I, Chu Xinghe, obtained these resources—what is this if not slander?

Chu Xinghe immediately pulled Huang Ritian to the Spirit Crane Palace, wanting to personally explain things to the Grand Elder!

I, Chu Xinghe, don't care where all these resources came from, but Elder, you can't force the credit onto me Chu Xinghe, can you?

What did I, Chu Xinghe, do to deserve this? Why am I given credit without even a second thought?! How am I supposed to live like this?!

Soon, at the Spirit Crane Palace, Chu Xinghe led Huang Ritian to find the Grand Elder.

As soon as they entered, the Grand Elder saw Xinghe and Huang Ritian and immediately spoke!

"Huang Ritian! How dare you! You dare to come out and see me while you're in confinement! Issue my order! Huang Ritian's confinement is extended by another hundred years!"

Huang Ritian: "???"

Chu Xinghe: "..."
