Inside the vast, empty courtyard, in front of the black stone tablet, the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Cloud Manor were gathered together, their eyes fixed on the fragment of the Formation Plate in Luo Ao's hand. Their faces were filled with fervor and joy. Who could have imagined that something Heavenly Cloud Manor had longed for for countless years would return to their hands in this way?
The fragment of the Formation Plate in Luo Ao's hand matches the gap on the Taiyi Star Disk. If it is repaired, then the Taiyi Star Disk will be truly complete.
The power contained within a ninth-order Formation Plate is self-evident.
"Once this fragment is retrieved, the Taiyi Star Disk will be completely complete, and my Heavenly Cloud Manor will surely rise again!"
Looking at the fragments of the Formation Plate so close to him, Luo Xiong's face was streaked with tears. The Taiyi Star Disk had been damaged for many years, but now, it could finally be repaired!
"Mr. Xiao Yan, what do you know about this fragment of the Formation Plate...?"
After a long while, Luo Cheng finally came to his senses and immediately looked at Xiao Yan. Although this fragment should have belonged to his Heavenly Cloud Manor, it had ended up in Xiao Yan's hands. In a sense, it already belonged to Xiao Yan, not to mention that he was the one who brought it to the Heavenly Cloud Manor. In any case, he should first ask Xiao Yan's opinion.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled calmly, smoothed his sleeves, and said with a smile:
"I only obtained this by chance, and it's of no use to me. If you need it, please feel free to take it."
These words caused a slight change in the expressions of the Heavenly Cloud Manor's high-ranking members present. Each of them couldn't help but open their mouths, a hint of shame flashing across their faces. Everyone present had already heard about Xiao Yan and the others from Luo Cheng, and now seeing Xiao Yan so easily return the fragment of the Formation Plate to the Heavenly Cloud Manor, they couldn't help but feel somewhat guilty. After all, while Xiao Yan was being so generous, their manor lord was thinking of sending Xiao Yan and the others out of the Heavenly Cloud Manor. How could they not feel ashamed now?
"In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Xiao Yan!"
After a slight hesitation, Luo Cheng bowed and cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Yan in front of everyone. Beside him, the others immediately followed suit, including Luo Ao Xiao Yan. Seeing this, Luo Jin's expression changed slightly, and he was about to bow to Xiao Yan as well, but as he turned, Xiao Yan helped him up. He then quickly cupped his hands to the group before him and said respectfully:
"Such a generous gift from you seniors is too much for this junior to accept. Senior Luo Hao once saved my life, and it is already a great fortune that my group was able to escape the clutches of evil. Please consider this fragment of the Formation Plate as a token of our gratitude."
"Haha, young friend Xiao Yan, you're too kind. I believe that even if I hadn't been there that day, with your Fire Lotus, you should have been safe and sound."
Upon hearing this, Luo Hao burst into laughter, glancing at Luo Ao. Luo Ao had guessed that the overwhelming white light he had witnessed was Xiao Yan's Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus. Now, thinking back, Xiao Yan's combat power was likely far greater than his own cultivation level. If Xiao Yan had been able to break through his cultivation before the arrival of the Three Great Elders of the Tribulation Crossing Sect, even without him, the three would have had no chance against Xiao Yan and his group.
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao Yan is too modest. You all must be quite tired these past few days. If you don't mind, you are welcome to stay at my Heavenly Cloud Manor for the time being. As for the Tribulation Crossing Sect, we will handle it for you. You can leave when things have calmed down. What do you say?"
Seeing this, Luo Cheng changed his tone and took the initiative to invite them, clearly stating his position. At the same time, the others beside him nodded in agreement. Xiao Yan and the others bowed gratefully, and a hearty laugh immediately rang out. Afterward, Luo Cheng introduced the other elders to Xiao Yan and the others, all of whom were among the Seven Heroes of the Luo Clan.
The Seven Heroes of the Luo Clan — Luo Xiong (eldest), Luo Lie (second), Luo Hao (third), Luo Mian (fourth Luo Ao), Luo Kun (fifth), Luo Kun (sixth), and Luo Hua (seventh)—are all powerful. Among them, the strongest is Luo Xiong, an Eight-Star Yuan Zong Master. Luo Hua, the seventh, is also an Yuan Zong Master, though only a two-star, he is not to be underestimated. These seven, along with their status as array masters, constitute an extremely powerful force even in the Central Region.
Having met the Seven Heroes of the Luo Clan, Xiao Yan and his group broadened their horizons considerably. After a long chat and laughter, Luo Cheng and the others left somewhat hastily with the fragment of the Formation Plate. Xiao Yan and the others glanced at the sky, realizing it was already approaching evening. Led by Luo Jin, they returned to their lodgings. Along the way, Luo Jin inquired with great curiosity about the origin of the Formation Plate fragment, while Xiao Yan vaguely brushed it off.
At the same time, Luo Cheng and the others returned to the secret room. As the fragments of the Formation Plate in their hands got closer and closer to the Taiyi Star Disk, the anomalies between the two became more and more intense. There were even faint energy fluctuations surging out from the Formation Plate. Luo Cheng and the others were also very surprised by this scene.
Since its creation, the Formation Plate has been controlled by humans, and the energy within it is also centered on the person controlling the Formation Plate. However, the Formation Plate can actually trigger energy fluctuations on its own, which is truly eye-opening for them. This also further illustrates the power of the Taiyi Star Disk. As a ninth-order Formation Plate, it is naturally different from others.
"Buzz!"
As the fragment of the Formation Plate approached the gap on the Taiyi Star Disk, shimmering golden light surged forth, merging the damaged area between the two. Then, without anyone else's control, the entire Formation Plate Formation Plate and the fragment slowly floated into the air, and bursts of intense golden light surged outward from within it. The dazzling light connected the two together, and even Luo Cheng and the others couldn't help but squint their eyes.
"Boom!"
Until a certain moment, when the fragment of the Formation Plate completely merged with the Taiyi Star Disk, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot into the sky and disappeared into the huge array covering the entire Heavenly Cloud Manor with a loud bang. The invisible array suddenly surged at this moment, and a huge golden energy circle also quickly spread out until it covered the entire Heavenly Cloud Manor.
Almost simultaneously with the complete restoration of the Taiyi Star Disk, on the plaza within the manor, the fifth stone tablet, which had previously been empty, was now slowly enveloped in a shimmering golden light, revealing the four characters "Taiyi Star Disk " clearly.
The fifth item on the Heavenly Cloud Sacred Artifact Ranking Taiyi Star Disk!
