He Probably Borrowed It
"It's getting more and more chaotic."
After reviewing the information on the outside situation, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head.
He also learned something else from the sect leader.
The sect's patriarchs haven't figured out the cause of the Lightning Tribulation at the Cloud Heaven Holy Land yet, and are still investigating.
Ge Duantian's death was an accident.
This unexpected event has had some impact on the sect's original plans.
Ge Duanping is almost the strongest among the existing ancestors of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
Now that he has died, he will inevitably become a threat to the overall strength of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
While a top expert of a faction may not act arbitrarily, their mere existence serves as a deterrent.
But the top experts of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land are gone.
Their position will inevitably be impacted.
Of course, it is at the very end of the Northern Region Holy Land, so the room for descent is very limited.
But would their rival, the Star Moon Holy Land, possibly let such an opportunity slip by?
The Azure Cloud Sect was replaced and became an annex of the Star Moon Holy Land.
That's perfectly reasonable.
Originally, with the patriarch of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land successfully breaking through, the two sides would inevitably fight over it.
However, the Cloud Heaven Holy Land is currently in a state of severe damage.
It's highly unlikely that they'll fight over the Azure Cloud Sect.
Therefore, the originally anticipated changes need to be adjusted.
Of course, it was the ancestor who took care of all these things.
For Lu Changzhi, all he needed to do was be an outsider—watch the show.
Since I'm just killing time anyway, keeping up with the sect leader's updates on various developments is quite a way to pass the time.
"Oh, right."
Lu Changzhi suddenly thought of something and said to Cang Wenyu:
"Sect Leader, have you ever heard of the Soul-Strengthening Demonic Pill?"
"I've heard of it." Cang Wenyu nodded.
"It is said to be quite effective, and it is of great help to those who cultivate themselves, especially those who practice magic. Unfortunately, it has been lost, and very few people still know it."
He paused, then glanced at Lu Changzhi:
"Why are you suddenly asking about this? You're not going to say you have it here too, are you?"
"The sect leader is wise."
Lu Changzhi smiled and took out a jade talisman.
Cang Wenyu was stunned for a moment, then an incredulous look appeared on his face:
"Could this be a prescription?"
Lu Changzhi smiled but remained silent.
Cang Wenyu took the jade talisman and began to examine it. After a short while, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
"What's wrong, Sect Leader? Have you figured something out?"
Lu Changzhi said with a smile.
He had already eaten that Soul-Strengthening Demonic Pill; it didn't taste very good, leaving a slightly numb feeling in his mouth.
The prescription in the jade talisman was obtained from elixirs.
Cang Wenyu withdrew his thoughts and smiled:
"I don't know much about elixirs, so I can't tell anything about them."
"I'll go and have the elders of Flame Sun Peak take a look."
After saying that, the person disappeared.
Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
He thought the sect leader had already understood.
His thoughts were released and landed on Xiao Ye's hut.
It was completely empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.
Upon returning to Hidden Origin Peak, Xiao Ye immediately set off to cultivate.
"Let's give it to him later."
After thinking it over, Lu Changzhi decided not to rush.
In the past couple of days, when he was bored, he sorted through the couple's belongings, and it's almost done.
I got up and turned on the system.
"System, use the Parent-Child Joint Defense Formation."
As the sound faded, light emanated from Lu Changzhi and spread outwards in all directions.
Finally, the light stopped, forming a circle that revealed the area the array could cover.
"As expected of Saint Tier, the starting range is much larger than the previous two formations."
Lu Changzhi said softly.
The range of the mother array is sufficient to completely cover the open territory of the Five Symbols Sect.
"Place."
I'm certain of it.
The next moment, the void trembled slightly, and array patterns condensed around Lu Changzhi, falling into the ground and then connecting into a whole, as if guided by an invisible hand.
Setting up such a formation would inevitably cause some disturbance.
In an instant, Lu Changzhi clearly felt the streams of intent descending upon him.
But these thoughts quickly vanished, leaving only utter silence.
There was no response at all.
"It seems the ancestors have gotten used to it."
Not saying what needs to be said and cleverly shifting blame—that's really something.
Underground.
"That little Changzhi is setting up an array again. Do any of you who know about arrays recognize this one?"
"Judging from the aura, it should be a defensive formation, and at least at the Saint Tier. However, such a formation should require the strength of the Saint Realm to set up. This little guy, Changzhi, could it be...?"
Before he could finish speaking, an eerie silence fell over the underground area.
Until someone sighed:
"I suddenly feel like I've wasted my life..."
You are not alone.
"It shouldn't be," a voice said.
"It takes us a lot of effort to set up a Saint Tier formation, but look how effortless he is at setting it up."
After a pause, he guessed:
"This must be the path that Saint King Chen wanted to take back then. It's a pity that even a genius like him couldn't succeed in his entire life. But now it seems that Changzhi's parents may have succeeded."
"I remember his parents weren't really interested in formations," someone interjected.
"It seems so."
The voice paused, then continued:
"That was probably borrowed."
Immediately, there were many voices of agreement.
At this moment, a voice said:
"Giving him so many good things, I'm afraid he'll spoil the younger generation of the sect. Should we go and remind Changzhi?"
"Saint Tier formations are Land of the Four Directions, and there are very few that are openly visible in the entire region."
These words prompted a moment of contemplation.
Then, a voice said:
"No need. Changzhi has a heavy karmic burden on him. He can do whatever he wants. We won't cause him any trouble, as long as his life isn't in danger."
"As for formations, they're not a bad thing either. It's always good to be prepared, and the more the better."
Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
Qin Jiuxiao paced back and forth in the room.
His face showed a hint of irritation.
"What exactly is so special about Luo Zhen?"
He learned from the other elders that Luo Zhen had recently entered a state of Sudden Enlightenment that was rare in the world.
It is said that not only cultivation level improved, but also aptitude.
The commotion was so great that even the old Holy Lord personally came to protect him.
The last trip to the Azure Cloud Sect showed that the Holy Land was showing signs of wanting to cultivate Luo Zhen.
The feud between him and Luo Zhen began at that time.
He had been secretly pleased for a while when he heard that Luo Zhen was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Unexpectedly, in such a short time, Luo Zhen actually...
With this thought in mind, Qin Jiuxiao became increasingly agitated.
Luo Zhen improved again, but his cultivation speed was still affected by the previous damage to his soul.
If this continues, the Holy Son's status will be in grave danger.
If Luo Zhen becomes the Holy Son of the Holy Land, then I'll inevitably be wearing shoes that are too small for my big feet.
"No, we have to find a way to change the current situation."
A cold glint flashed in Qin Jiuxiao's eyes.
At that moment, a voice came:
"Young Master Qin, an elder from the Li Clan has come to request an audience. He says he has found an artifact that might be of help to you, and requests that you take a look."
"I have arranged for them to wait in the guest hall."
