Yan Shoujing, You've Definitely Defected!

The unpredictable Chu Xinghe was unaware of how the outside world marveled at his seemingly flawless strategies...

Chu Xinghe only knew... I'm a complete strategist, my foot!

If I had known earlier that the black jade talisman was Beast God Talisman, would I have used it to prop up a table leg?

I just hid it away, okay?

The fact that the Great Sage blew up Spirit Beast Island without warning doesn't concern Chu Xinghe. He only knows that his Vast Heaven Sect has made a killing this time.

Thanks to their elective beast taming courses, everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect is now a beast tamer...

Once Spirit Beast Island opens... won't they just go on a rampage, slaughtering everything in sight?

After all, over the years, various forces on the Blazing Sun Continent have basically abandoned the Beast Taming Art due to the disappearance of Spirit Beast Island.

Even if some sects previously possessed Beast Taming Art, they have essentially kept them as secret treasures, with no one bothering to learn them.

Throughout the entire Blazing Sun Continent, only the Savage Wilderness Tribes have stubbornly persisted in researching the Beast Taming Art.

Therefore, even if other families previously possessed the Beast Taming Art, it would still take time for them to start researching it again.

This is nothing like our Vast Heaven Sect... Now everyone's a beast tamer.

As long as the spirit beast arrives, you can directly train and enhance its combat power... Who can you complain to about that?

But now, Chu Xinghe knew that Spirit Beast Island couldn't stop them.

What? You can't just jump out and say that I, Chu Xinghe, refused to participate in the event to open the Spirit Beast Island, can you?

If I really did that, not only would the righteous sects not let me off the hook, but even the Demonic Sects wouldn't let me go...

After all, opening the Spirit Beast Island is a major event for the entire Blazing Sun Continent.

With all seven Spirit Beast Talisman and one Beast God Talisman gathered, the eight people who would enter Spirit Beast Island were now completely confirmed.

Douding'er was so excited that he jumped up and down, making the entire Savage Wilderness Tribes feel like it was New Year's Day these past two days.

However, opening the gate to Spirit Beast Island is not as simple as one might imagine.

Elder He of unparalleled erudition, personally explained to everyone how to access Spirit Beast Island.

Spirit Beast Island does not exist on the Blazing Sun Continent. To be precise, Spirit Beast Island is actually an independent small world. The passage to Spirit Beast Island that the Great Sage blasted open this time seems very stable, but in reality, apart from those with Spirit Beast Talisman or Beast God Talisman, no one else can enter it at all.

Therefore, to open a passage between Spirit Beast Island and the Blazing Sun Continent, one must enter Spirit Beast Island pass the test of the remnant souls of the four sacred beasts. One must obtain the Spirit Beast Astrolabe from the remnant souls of the four sacred beasts, and then use the star chart as a guide to set up four stable formations to form a safe passage. Only then can one truly open a safe passage between Spirit Beast Island and the Blazing Sun Continent.

Elder He sighed, "It's fortunate that Xinghe was among the eight people who entered Spirit Beast Island this time."

After all, others may have some understanding of formations, but the formations that the Spirit Beast Astrolabe needs to set up are four of the most advanced formations.

Even Tantai Jing, who is known as an expert in formations, would certainly not be able to set up such a high-level formation by himself.

But Chu Xinghe is different; the fact that Chu Xinghe's Innate Formation Mastery is already common knowledge.

Furthermore, Chu Xinghe has studied under Yan Shoujing, the world's number one array master, for so long that entrusting him with the Xinghe within the four star charts would be perfectly feasible...

Douding'er personally invited Yan Shoujing, the vice sect leader who was in seclusion, out of the seclusion.

When he heard the news that Spirit Beast Island had opened, the vice sect leader was completely bewildered and confused.

When Chu Xinghe arranged for all disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect to take the elective course on beast taming, Yan Shoujing, as the vice sect leader, naturally knew about it.

At the time, Yan Shoujing even remarked that Chu Xinghe was going to suffer a huge loss.

But now...

Although Yan Shoujing was speechless, Yan Shoujing was indeed quite skilled when it came to formations.

Yan Shoujing was certainly aware of Elder He's statement that the four star charts formed four great arrays, jointly supporting the passage between the Blazing Sun Continent and the Spirit Beast Island.

" Within Spirit Beast Island, the remnant souls of the four sacred beasts below the Beast God are also the foundation supporting the entire Spirit Beast Island..."

"Therefore, to establish a stable passage between Spirit Beast Island and the Blazing Sun Continent, one must pass the trials of the Four Sacred Beasts and obtain the four Spirit Beast Astrolabe."

"However, obtaining the star chart is only the first step. The second step, and the most crucial one, is to use the star chart to set up four large arrays. Only by using these four arrays as the base can a stable passage be established."

"These four great formations are the Azure Dragon White Tiger Formation, the White Tiger Vermilion Bird Formation, the Vermilion Bird and Vermilion Bird Xuanwu Formation, and the Black Tortoise Xuanwu Azure Dragon Formation!"

The audience. "???"

Chu Xinghe stared blankly at the Vice Sect Master...

Um... Vice Sect Master, aren't the names of these four great formations a bit inaccurate? What's with all these formation names, sounding like tongue twisters?

Why can't the Four Sacred Beasts just call each other by their own names in their grand formation?

Isn't it a bit outrageous that they just randomly come up with names like this?

Yan Shoujing clearly noticed the question marks on everyone's foreheads and gave an explanation on the spot.

There's no way around it... There was originally Four Holy Beasts Grand Formation within the array, with the Azure Dragon, Azure Dragon White Tiger, Vermilion Bird Xuanwu each having their own formation. But the new Four Holy Beasts Grand Formation arranged using the star chart can't possibly have the same name as the old ones...

So it's unclear which unlucky formation came up with the absurd way to name the four great formations on the star chart.

However, whether the names of the four great formations are tongue-twisting or not is not the key point; the key point is that the deputy sect leader truly deserves to be called the number one expert in formations in the world.

The Vice Sect Master is indeed proficient in all four aspects of this Astrolabe Four Saints Grand Formation.

Furthermore, the deputy sect leader stated that with Xinghe's current understanding of formations, if the methods for setting up these four great formations were taught to Xinghe, Xinghe would be fully capable of setting them up!

However, the vice sect leader immediately said, "Xinghe... the Astrolabe Four Saints Grand Formation is no small matter. The four formations connect the Blazing Sun Continent and the Spirit Beast Island... and each formation requires a huge amount of resources to set up. So if a mistake is made, the formation will fail and all the resources consumed will be wasted. Therefore, Xinghe, you must be extremely careful!"

Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up after hearing the vice sect leader's words.

What the heck?

The consumption is enormous? Vice Sect Master, please quickly teach me the Astrolabe Four Saints Grand Formation!

Good heavens, Chu Xinghe almost cried his eyes out after the Spirit Beast Island was suddenly blown up.

Adding to the fact that the Beast God Talisman inexplicably appeared in his hands, this really puts Chu Xinghe in a very difficult position.

Let alone consuming sect resources... With the Beast God Talisman and the Beast Taming Art of the Savage Wilderness Tribes, no one can stop our Vast Heaven Sect from taking off.

Chu Xinghe racked his brains but still couldn't figure out how to weaken the sect.

To my utter surprise, the vice sect leader brought me an unexpected delight!

Does setting up a formation require a lot of resources?

Does failure mean all your efforts were wasted?

Is there really such a good thing?

Think about it, shouldn't you be the one to set up the formation?

If there's a problem with the formation I set up, shouldn't I, Chu Xinghe, be responsible?

Logically, the initial resource consumption should be shared equally among all sects... However, if there's a problem with the formation I, Chu Xinghe, set up, shouldn't I, Chu Xinghe, be held fully responsible...?

So, will our Vast Heaven Sect have to pay for any further resource consumption ourselves?

If it fails three or five hundred times, just say that no resources were used and that's it!

We can't stop them from reaching Spirit Beast Island, but by using the grand formation activated by Spirit Beast Island, we can severely deplete the sect's resources. Tell me, how can we possibly lose?

Chu Xinghe said with a serious expression, "Please rest assured, Vice Sect Master, I, Chu Xinghe, will definitely study the Astrolabe Four Saints Grand Formation properly. I have arranged this formation for everyone in detail."

Seeing how eager Chu Xinghe was to learn, the vice sect leader naturally held nothing back and immediately taught Chu Xinghe all the techniques of the Astrolabe Four Saints Grand Formation.

Tantai Jing was frantically giving Yan Shoujing meaningful glances from the side.

Tantai Jing came to the Vast Heaven Sect with a mission. Demonic Emperor Wu Xingyun entrusted Tantai Jing with a heavy responsibility. Although the Spirit Beast Island was a major event for the entire world, who would be the biggest beneficiary of opening the Spirit Beast Island at this time?

It's definitely still the Vast Heaven Sect!

Wu Xingyun contacted Yan Shoujing overnight, wanting him to steal the Beast Taming Art from the Savage Wilderness Yan Shoujing.

The problem is... the Beast Taming Art of the Savage Wilderness Tribes are also passed down through generations... Without the direct transmission from the Savage Wilderness Tribes, even if Yan Shoujing knew the Beast Taming Art, he would have no way to pass them on to the Demonic Sect Beast Taming Art Sect.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Wu Xingyun had no choice but to settle for second best.

Wu Xingyun was naturally aware that opening the Spirit Beast Island required the establishment of four formations.

As the world's number one array master, if Yan Shoujing had held back a few tricks when teaching Chu Xinghe, wouldn't Chu Xinghe have failed to set up the array?

It's important to understand that setting up the Four Holy Beasts Grand Formation is incredibly costly... If Chu Xinghe fails to set it up, shouldn't he be held responsible for the failure?

Now that you've taken responsibility, shouldn't you compensate everyone for the resources you've consumed?

If Chu Xinghe fails several times in a row... wouldn't that indirectly weaken the Vast Heaven Sect's strength?

So Tantai Jing frantically winked at Yan Shoujing, the meaning was very clear... Yan Shoujing... the formation you're teaching Chu Xinghe must have some problems!

But Tantai Jing realized that he was almost blinding himself from blinking so much... Yan Shoujing hadn't made a single mistake, and the formation he taught Chu Xinghe in the end was absolutely perfect!

Upon seeing this, Tantai Jing's first reaction was... Could it be that Yan Shoujing has already surrendered?

Do you, Yan Shoujing, even know you're a spy for the Demonic Sect?

You're so quick to impart the correct formations, tell me, what are you trying to do?

Such a good opportunity to weaken the Vast Heaven Sect... and you just let it slip by?

Back then, you, Yan Shoujing, were shouting that with you in charge, the Vast Heaven Sect was doomed... What the hell do you mean by surrendering so easily?

Even putting aside the despicable things you've done over the years, have you forgotten about Xiao Cui'er from the Demonic Sect?

No matter what Tantai Jing said, it was useless. The formation taught by Yan Shoujing was flawless and gave Chu Xinghe no chance to make a mistake.

Night fell... Tantai Jing found Yan Shoujing quietly, but before Tantai Jing could speak, Yan Shoujing spoke first.

"Tantai Jing! Are you fucking an idiot?"

Tantai Jing: "???"

Tantai Jing was completely dumbfounded... I don't know if I'm an idiot... You, Yan Shoujing, have definitely already voted!
