He Actually Managed to Create a Formation!

Outer gate.

Lin Hao dragged his heavy body, walking step by step towards the outer dormitory area.

His expression was grim; it was unclear what he was thinking.

I originally thought that after more than two months of training away from home, the gap between me and Yi Changge would become smaller and smaller.

But after their exchange, he finally understood why his opponent was a personal disciple.

It's definitely the Foundation Establishment.

I don't know what stage of Foundation Establishment they've reached.

"Oh? Isn't that Lin Hao? He looked so energetic just now, how come he looks so disheveled after a short while?"

On the street, someone with sharp eyes whispered to the person next to them.

The sound was very loud, Lin Hao could hear every single word clearly.

"I think I know, he offended Senior Brother Yi, his personal disciple, and got injured."

"I watched as Senior Brother Yi effortlessly unleashed a palm strike."

"Huh? It's that simple? Aren't there no one in the outer sect who can beat Lin Hao?"

"Outer sect is nothing, our sect's inner sect is still the strongest."

The man beside him shook his head, then glanced at Lin Hao and said.

Throughout the journey, the pointing and whispering about Lin Hao never stopped.

He pretended not to hear and walked back to his dormitory step by step.

But the more they are indulged, the more unrestrained they become.

"Is the outer sect so unruly now? I am the designated senior disciple of the outer sect, have they forgotten all manners?"

Lin Hao stopped in his tracks, turned to look at the people pointing and whispering, and said coldly.

In an instant, the entire street fell silent.

No one expected that Lin Hao would actually talk back today.

That's really strange.

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

For some reason, the extras felt an unusually strong aura emanating from Lin Hao at that moment, so they all bowed and greeted him.

On the screen, various words of praise scrolled by, interspersed with some bullying remarks.

The Grand Elder's cave abode.

The Grand Elder had barely left his cave abode for two whole months, spending day and night studying the so-called formations.

Gu Yuan looked at the Grand Elder and noticed that his hair was messy and his clothes were dirty, making him look nothing like an elder.

How exactly should this formation be arranged to be effective?

The elder's face was contorted with wrinkles as he fiddled with the Spirit Stone and fake Spirit Stone in front of him.

I'm so worried.

I'm losing hair every day; if this keeps up, I'll lose all my hair.

In front of the Grand Elder was a small notebook that recorded the various ways to arrange and activate Spirit Stone.

The book is so thick, it's clear how difficult it is to start from scratch.

"So?"

"Wrong."

That should be the case.

With a sigh, the Grand Elder tossed the Spirit Stone in front of him aside.

There has been no progress at all.

That's a huge waste of time.

Suddenly, just as the Grand Elder was about to rest for a while, a vibration suddenly came to his ears.

Spiritual Qi?

It's a vibration of Spiritual Qi.

The elder looked somewhat surprised, then searched for the source of the fluctuation.

A corner.

The haphazardly arranged array emitted a faint glow.

It's him!

That's right!

The elder took out his phone and snapped a picture.

He then ran up behind him, grabbed a notebook, and began to learn about the types of Spirit Stone, their energy, and whether they were self-made materials.

After finishing these tasks, the Grand Elder resumed studying the array in front of him.

It lacks the sharp, aggressive aura of an offensive formation, so it's probably not an offensive formation.

Could it be a defensive formation?

I tested the defensive capabilities of the formation, and it wasn't.

It was neither defense nor offense.

What exactly is this thing?

The elder frowned, somewhat puzzled, then suddenly sensed a wisp of pure Spiritual Qi emanating from it.

This is... Spirit Gathering Formation?

The Grand Elder had previously studied a lot of knowledge related to cultivation, and his eyebrows immediately rose, a look of joy appearing on his face.

Try again!

Sitting cross-legged in a gap in the formation, I was immediately filled with Spiritual Qi energy different from the outside world.

It's Spirit Gathering Formation!

Gu Yuan, standing to the side, was completely stunned.

After messing around like this for over two months, they actually managed to create Spirit Gathering Formation?

Just how talented is this old guy with array formations?!

Outrageous!

"It's Spirit Gathering Formation! It's Spirit Gathering Formation! I actually invented Spirit Gathering Formation! Hahahaha!"

The Grand Elder laughed wildly, completely disregarding his image.

After a long, unrestrained laugh, the Grand Elder did not immediately announce his research results.

Instead, he looked at the formation in front of him and tried to repeat the formation according to the quality of each Spirit Stone.

Although the Spiritual Qi is scarce, this is still a significant step forward.

"This piece, and then this piece."

"Put a big piece here, a small piece here, and then do this and that..."

His hands moved continuously, yet the size of the Spirit Stone's placement remained unchanged.

Finish.

There's no response. What went wrong?

The First Elder frowned as he looked at the unresponsive Spirit Stone array in front of him.

Wrong.

The order in which they were placed is incorrect.

The orientation is also problematic.

Then, following the order of the array formation recorded by the camera, the Grand Elder rearranged the array.

By order, by orientation, by quality.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A sense of familiarity immediately arose.

Really!

The order, orientation, and quality—every single one of them is crucial!

Good heavens!

Gu Yuan was completely stunned.

So this is how you set up a formation?

If even one step is missing, the Spirit Gathering Formation won't be activated today.

The Grand Elder was at a loss for words, realizing that such a small chance had actually happened to him.

However, although the Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Gathering Formation is limited, it can still accelerate the cultivation speed, which is of great significance to the entire Azure Mountain Sect.

"I wonder if it can be improved."

The Grand Elder cultivated there for a short while, then resumed his research.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

The number of cultivators on the back mountain is increasing.

After all, Gu Yuan had enlightened quite a few people, and once the energy arrived, they could activate their enlightenment directly.

Roughly estimated, the Azure Mountain Sect now has nearly forty inner disciples.

The weakest among them are all at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Those who are only in the early stages of Qi Refining are not qualified to enter the true Azure Mountain Sect.

As the number of people increased, Tang Dongyang, although he did not know how these people had awakened their cultivation, still dispatched professionals to form an enrollment team.

They specifically recruited disciples whose cultivation level was at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, excluding the "protagonist".

"I did it! I finally did it! The Azure Mountain Sect's training room is finally a reality!"

The disciples who were cultivating and discussing the Dao on the back mountain heard the sound coming from not far away and all looked in that direction.

It's the Grand Elder!

Everyone knows that the Grand Elder is researching formations!

I just don't know which type to study.

Isn't what you're saying now implying that formations can accelerate cultivation?

It's Spirit Gathering Formation!

The back mountain erupted in celebration, with everyone rushing towards the Grand Elder's location, smiles on their faces, eager to see how the formation would work.

They were being suffocated by the otherworldly enemies, but today they finally received good news.
