Activating Dragon Searching Formation

“What is it?” asked Mu Yu.

“Do you know why I have to set up Dragon Searching Formation at Dustfallen Precipice? Remember I told you there’s a Spirit Collection Formation here? The spiritual qi supplements Dragon Searching Formation. I also discovered Dustfallen Precipice is the key for the formation protecting the entire mountain. I have an inkling there’s a secret hidden underneath Dustfallen Precipice, but my cultivation is too low to find out more.”

“What secret would be underneath Dustfallen Precipice?”

“Haha, we don’t have a burrowing skill, sadly. If we had the ability of earth demons, that’d be perfect. I don’t know if it’s worth destroying the Spirit Collection Formation to dig, either.”Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

Mu Yu glanced over to the banyan tree and wondered if he could travel down there via its roots. He had never entered the banyan tree before because he was afraid of scaring the twin devils if he emerged from the tree.

“How do we use the large-scale formation to fend off invaders?”

“I believe the foundation of said formation comes from here. I still need to locate the key. Assuming Patriarch Feng cast the formation, he would be the only one who knows its precise location.”

Kongkong soon came over to call Elder Xun and Mu Yu over for dinner. Kongkong gave Elder Xun a gloomy look. After having a taste of Elder Xun’s cooking two days ago, he discovered Elder Xun was a far superior cook compared to Uncle An. Whenever he saw Uncle An’s overcooked dishes again, he’d looked as sad as a widow.

“Can you cook for us again later?” whispered Kongkong.

“Sir An has something to attend to a bit later. How about I prepare supper?”

Kongkong pouted. The twins were the only one who dared to criticise Uncle An’s cooking. If anyone else complained, Uncle An would put them through “endurance” training.

Uncle An was seated and eating. Kongkong began to think about where to hunt for a rabbit after the meal. They hunted daily ever since their shifu went missing. Miaomiao suggested, “How about we let the prisoners have this meal? Shifu said we have to be humane even with prisoners. They must be hungry.”

Dark shadows streaked around Uncle An at high velocities. Each streak that went passed would induce a shudder. Uncle An cried, “Those are heaven and earth wraiths. Don’t provoke them. You are currently a consciousness in limbo. Don’t let them mislead you, or you won’t be able to return!”

Wraiths were dead spirits who refused to move on. They couldn’t harm physical beings, but one would see them once they were just their conscious. If they could overpower one’s willpower, they could devour their target and resurrect in the host body.

Nobody knew if Uncle An heard the warning, but he started bleeding from his ears, and he looked deathly pale.

“Elder Xun, how is Uncle An?” inquired Cheng Yan

Elder Xun checked the formation carefully and elucidated, “I know why now. The formation’s foundational energy is insufficient. The five items must have been used several times already. I don’t think they have enough energy to last.”

“Several times already?” exclaimed Mu Yu, puzzled.

“I am to blame. I am to blame. I didn’t examine their energy levels beforehand. I thought they were complete.” Elder Xun’s blunder was understandable as it was attributed to his low cultivation and inexperience.

Knowing it was no time to be pointing fingers, Mu Yu followed up with, “Can we stop Uncle An?”

“No, unless Sir An can shake off the wraiths and return to his body in time.”

The shadows around Uncle An slowly but surely dispersed. Once he drove them away, the purple glow in his eyes returned, and he turned the clouds purple once again.

“Sir An is all right now. Wait. Where did the energy replenishment come from? Could it have been the large-scale formation?” remarked Elder Xun.

They didn’t have much time to celebrate as a thunderous voice shook Mount Dustfallen. “Dustfallen Sect’s brats aren’t even going welcome me on their knees?”

The energy was a dead giveaway. Primordial Infant Realm cultivator, Reverend Jiuhua, had dropped by for a visit.
