Chapter 318 Showing His Ability

"Greetings ancestor", Zhan Chen bowed towards Zhan Wu Li after seeing her inside the treasury hall. Liu Hua also did the same and paid her respect to Zhan Wu Li.

"Little brat, I am wondering whether you are cultivating or not but here you are, causing a ruckus in the treasury hall as soon as you enter the Xuantian sect", Zhan Wu Li looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Ancestor, I have caused you trouble", Zhan Chen replied respectfully.

"Doesn't matter. These matters do not bother me. But I am indeed dissatisfied with you because you do not inform me about the deeds of my grand father", Zhan Wu Li spoke.

"Ancestor's grand father!", Zhan Chen felt confused for a moment but suddenly the figure of a tyrannical old man appeared inside his mind. He recalled the expert who had saved them during their journey to the Xuantian sect.

"Ancestor, are you talking about the other senior whom we have met during our face off with the Heavenly sword sect?", Zhan Chen asked.

"Exactly, that person is my grand father. He is alive at his age. It means he is already an expert beyond the emperor realm", Zhan Wu Li spoke with a smile on her face.

"That senior is indeed incredible. Within few moments of face off, he killed all of our enemies", Zhan Chen added.

"Well, he is a renowned expert of our Zhan clan. It is incredible that he has managed to survive the battle. We will talk about him later but first I need you to explain yourself.

Tell me, Why do you need such valuable materials which are worth eighteen thousand sect contribution points?", Zhan Wu Li asked Zhan Chen.

"Senior, I want to arrange a formation for me. This formation is very important for the advancement of my cultivation", Zhan Chen replied.

"Arranging a formation on your own? Do you mean to say you have formation knowledge?", Zhan Wu Li looked towards Zhan Chen with disbelief on her face.

"Yes ancestor, I have arranged a formation for my family before leaving the Red cloud kingdom", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Unbelievable. If what you are claiming is true then I will gladly spend eighteen thousand sect points for you", Zhan Wu Li spoke.

"Ancestor, you can check if you want. I will not disappoint you no matter which formation you want me to arrange", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Good, let's give it a try them. I want senior brother Deming to watch as it will be a huge thing if you prove yourself", Zhan Wu Li spoke.

"Ancestor, what formation do you want me to arrange? I can prepare the materials if you inform me", Zhan Chen spoke.

"There is no need for a complex formation. I just want to watch your ability. As long as you able to arrange an earth grade formation, I will leave half of my contribution points to you. You are allowed to do whatever you want with half of my sect contribution points", Zhan Wu Li spoke.

"Ancestor, where should I arrange the formation?", Zhan Chen asked.

"Let's do it here. We can pick a secluded place nearby and there you need to show your proficiency in the formation", Zhan Wu Li replied.

------------------

Zhan Chen immersed himself in meditation after reaching near a secluded place. Zhan Wu Li took out a communication tailsmans and sent a message for Fu Deming. A smile appeared on her face as she noticed few onlookers spying on them from a distance.

The spying onlookers were the earlier group of girls with whom Zhan Chen had a conversation. They were waiting for Zhan Chen to leave and followed him when they saw him walking out with a beautiful looking lady.

Zhan Wu Li ignored the group of girls and focused her eyes on Zhan Chen. There was a look of hope and anticipation in her eyes as she observed the meditating Zhan Chen.

Fu Deming appeared next to Zhan Wu Li after receiving her message. A frown appeared on his face after he noticed a group of inner court disciples spying on them.

"Senior brother, Ignore them. They are here for my clan's brat. Let him deal with them after he arrange a formation for us", Zhan Wu Li spoke.

"What? Formation! Are you telling me that Zhan Chen is also proficient in formation?", Fu Deming looked towards Zhan Wu Li with surprise on his face.

"Yes, he claims to have knowledge about formation. It will be clear after he ends his meditation", Zhan Wu Li spoke.

"Let's watch then. I need to inform the ancestoral peak if the matter is true. A cultivation genius with a formation aptitude is once in a generation talent.

We need to nurture him more carefully. So that, he can contribute to my Xuantian sect in the future", Fu Deming spoke.

Zhan Chen didn't take much time for meditation. He greeted Fu Deming and took out a set of swords from his spatial ring.

"Little friend, what formation are you going to arrange? It will be fine even if you arrange a profound grade formation for us", Fu Deming spoke.

"Senior, I am going to arrange a slaughter formation. It will be a formation consists of nine swords. You can judge the grade after the formation is activated", Zhan Chen replied.

He sat down once again and took out a formation pen from his spatial ring. It was an earth grade pen he had borrowed from the treasure hall.

He lifted a sword and put it down infront of him. Then he started to inscibe divine symbols on the body of the sword using his spiritual energy.

Tiny symbols started to appear on the body of the sword as Zhan Chen controlled the flow of his spiritual energy exquisitely. It didn't took him much time before he filled the body of sword with numerous tiny symbols.

There was an amazed look on both Zhan Wu Li and Fu Deming's faces as they watched Zhan Chen's inscription technique. Both of them looked at eachother and both could see the shock in eachother's faces.

Zhan Chen stopped after inscribing divine symbols on all the nine swords. He still had plenty of his spiritual energy to spare but he decided to meditate once again.

Every formation was an opportunity in itself. So, he wanted to be at his best state of mind while arranging the slaughter formation.

He opened his eyes after a while and stood up from his place. He took a look at Zhan Wu Li and Fu Deming before connecting the swords with his spiritual energy.

Swords started to fly on their own as Zhan Chen controlled them with his spiritual energy. Zhan Wu Li, Fu Deming and the group of girls watched in wonder as Zhan Chen arranged the swords in an octagonal pattern.

Eight swords were firmly rooted in the ground as Zhan Chen arranged them in an octagonal pattern. He finally placed the last sword in the center and the arrangement of swords were completed.

"Now the final part", Zhan Chen murmured to himself and spread his spiritual energy to the surrounding. The sword in the middle was the first to react as it was closest to him. The divine symbols on the body of the nine swords lit up one by one as Zhan Chen connected them with his spiritual energy.

"Connect", with his mental command an illusory link established between the nine swords. Sword howls came out as nine illusory appeared at the same time.

"Senior, please step inside. You will know it's grade after facing an attack of this slaughter sword formation", Zhan Chen spoke.

Fu Deming nodded his head and walked towards the sword formation. A surprised look appeared on his face as soon as he faced the attack from the nine swords.

Nine illusory swords attacked him at once from various positions. Fu Deming managed to stop them using his essence energy but there was a clear shock on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.

"A marvelous formation. Even a beginner Heavenly tribulation realm expert would not leave unscathed if he choose to fight this formation head on", he spoke with an astounded look on his face.
