The Eastern Region Was No Place to Stay or Ever Return To!

Azure Cloud Sect.

Even under the cover of night, the scene below remained bustling and lively.

"The Cloud Heaven Holy Land really has high standards. They didn't even bother with these good things and gave them to us. It's really..."

"How could they possibly look down on us? It's probably intentional. They're probably trying to give us a taste of what's good for us, and they're probably worried we'll find out later, so they won't tell us."

"But no matter what, this is a good thing for us."

Before witnessing the strength of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, they might have had some other ideas.

But now, following the Cloud Heaven Holy Land is perhaps a fortunate thing.

At this moment, an elder glanced into the distance and gently shook his head:

"You're overthinking it. If you ask me, something good must have appeared in that palace, which is why they all rushed there, even abandoning this place. For them to do this, it must be incredibly valuable."

Upon hearing this, an elder nodded in agreement, but then added:

"Never mind, let's hurry up and look for it, don't waste time."

In an instant, everyone from the Azure Cloud Sect got busy again.

Inside the palace.

The elders and disciples sat together.

In the very center is the Soul-Guarding Jade Throne.

Chen Gan was sitting beside him at this moment, his eyes slightly closed, as if sensing something.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and said:

"The damage to the disciples' souls was indeed caused by this throne."

"This object is extraordinary; it can contain the soul. It seems this person had planned this all along."

Upon hearing Chen Gan's words, none of the elders present showed the slightest hint of joy.

Such a huge loss, and such a small gain.

Blood loss.

At this moment, several disciples lay on the ground. Although they were still breathing and showed no signs of injury, their souls were damaged, leaving them in this state.

Faced with this tragic scene, the hearts of many of the elders who had come with them bled.

Fang Ling glanced at Luo Zhen, who was sitting cross-legged not far away, and sighed softly, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Originally, Luo Zhen's failure to seize the opportunity was quite a pity for him.

But now that we know this is a trap, we can't help but feel fortunate. If Luo Zhen had really come in first, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Later, although Qin Jiuxiao entered the palace, Luo Zhen, due to his fluctuating emotions, did not go to look for anything else nearby and stayed near the light screen.

That's why he wasn't affected by the subsequent plundering of soul power.

Now that he has devoted himself to spiritual practice again, it is truly a good thing.

If that were all, he would surely be delighted.

But what's happening now only casts a dark cloud over people's minds.

At that moment, a groan was heard.

Qin Jiuxiao's body twitched, and after struggling for a long time, his eyelids finally opened slowly.

Were all those things that happened a dream?

An idea flashed through his mind.

But soon, the weakness of his soul and the chaos in his mind revealed the answer to him.

This is the cold, hard reality.

Every time I think about it, I get angry.

Fortunately, this time she did not faint again.

But an idea arose uncontrollably in his mind.

He has to leave; he needs to get out of the Eastern Region quickly.

This time it's more bizarre than the last.

There is absolutely no way I can stay or come to the Eastern Region!

The night passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, it's another new day.

As soon as he woke up, Lu Changzhi heard a notification from the system.

"Congratulations, host, for idling for one month. You have received the following reward: 'Compendium of Formations' (Volume 1) *1."

Upon hearing the system's notification, Lu Changzhi's expression shifted.

"This time, the organization is finally taking things seriously."

With a soft utterance, Lu Changzhi entered the system.

Inside the warehouse, a jade talisman, about the size of a thumb and pale purple in color, floated Jingjing.

With a thought, the item's description appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes.

[Compendium of Formations]: Divided into three volumes (upper, middle, and lower). Collected and organized by diligent Dao of Formations of formations over countless years, this book records formations existing in the world and throughout history, arranged according to their strength and difficulty. The upper volume contains the most information and is the most comprehensive, making it the ideal choice for practitioners of Dao of Formations...

With a wave of his hand, the jade talisman flew into Lu Changzhi's hand.

Delving into it with one's mind.

Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on Lu Changzhi's face.

In that instant, he felt as if his mind had entered a starry sky.

At first glance, the beams of light resembled countless stars, so dense that it made one's scalp tingle.

Their number is unknown, yet they seem to combine countless formations into one.

After observing for a moment, Lu Changzhi regained his composure.

"This is ridiculously high."

He murmured something Lu Changzhi began to ponder.

The question is, to whom should it be assigned?

Nowadays, none of his disciples are particularly skilled in formations.

Qin Li knows more about it, probably because of her past life, but it's not her main area of cultivation.

"Mu Fan more suitable; he mentioned using formations in conjunction with talismans before."

After much thought, Mu Fan was clearly the more suitable candidate.

"But..."

Lu Changzhi suddenly thought of something and asked:

"System, can Mu Fan leave the cultivation formation process running in the background?"

"Reporting to Master, it requires the corresponding talent support."

Lu Changzhi nodded.

That's not difficult at all.

Just make a copy for Mu Fan.

As for the source of the rubbings, Xu Kun is one such candidate.

Having made up his mind, Lu Changzhi temporarily put away the jade talisman.

At lunchtime, several people gathered around the table.

Luo Ling'er's face was full of excitement as she recounted her experiences on Flame Sun Peak.

After a while, Lu Changzhi looked at Mu Fan and said:

"Are you interested in formations?"

Mu Fan thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Can't you use those things?" Lu Changzhi asked.

"It can be used, but not often," Mu Fan said.

"Formations only serve a supplementary role; it's not worth spending a lot of time learning them."

"We'll need it. The Dharma Form Peak can still be of help."

He had tried it; while talismans worked, array formations couldn't be used for offline cultivation.

In other words, learning formations must be done step by step in a proper and serious manner.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi understood.

It's clear that Mu Fan knew that you couldn't leave the formation running while you were practicing.

However, Mu Fan may not know that the system tells him he can AFK with the corresponding talent.

However, this is still a difficult point to point out.

At this moment, Mu Fan suddenly said:

"If Master has any good stuff related to Dao of Formations, he could help out at Dharma Form Peak. The elders there are incredibly obsessed with Dao of Formations."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chang nodded.

He had considered this matter.

After all, it would be quite difficult for one person to fully understand the array within this jade talisman.

Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone.

Thinking to himself, Lu Changzhi looked out of Hidden Origin Peak with a puzzled expression.

"Could something big have happened today? Why are they nowhere to be seen again?"
