Chapter 387
Seven Great Peaks
Joining Mu Yu were Ai Xiao, Zhao Lianggong, Liu Yangze and Ding Bo. Ai Xiao’s name must’ve been a play on the character “love” in Chinese, but it was fair game if it was because she was all smiles and approachable. She was the only one close to his age; the others were over twenty. Ding Bo was also quite approachable during their self-introductions. As for Zhao Lianggong and Liu Yangze, they put on airs the moment they discerned Mu Yu was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. They were, after all, Primordial Infant Realm cultivators.New n0vel chapters are published on
“What’s your name? When did you join? Why is your cultivation so low at your age?” questioned Greater Heaven Caster Lu, displeased.
“My name is Feng Mu. I have been here for over a month,” Mu Yu answered formally.
“Over a month? How many hexagrams did you solve?”
“Four.”
Greater Heaven Caster Lu might’ve been disappointed, but he wasn’t a prejudice man. “You are not considered exceptional among Heaven Stage disciples, so be sure to study more diligently.”
“I will not let you down,” replied Mu Yu, thinking, And you’ve been looking for me for an entire month.
Greater Heaven Caster Lu cast spiritual energy over the five and propelled everyone into the sky with him. He made haste as it would’ve taken him half a day to fly there even at his level.
Formation Sect’s Greater Heaven Stage formation casters were, at least, at Spirit Severing Realm. Even so, their sect, like Pill Cauldron Sect, didn’t put emphasis on cultivation.
“Patriarch was the one who set Celestial Star Sect’s flawless mountain-protection formation. It’s capable of keeping Ascension Realm invaders out, meaning not even he can trespass. Its formation core is in Celestial Star Sect’s members’ hands. As such, only those they grant entry to may enter.”
“Can it imitate intruders’ skills to attack them? For instance, will it slash me if I slash it?” Mu Yu queried.
“Is that something you saw in your dream? That would be an overpowered formation if it existed. Set it down, and let them kill themselves,” berated Zhao Lianggong.
“Too imaginative for his own good,” added Liu Yangze.
“What’s the issue with you two? He’s a new disciple. You should be helping him out. If he doesn’t know something, teach him, not make fun of him. We should be joining hands at this junction. Feng Mu’s idea is creative. It’s just not realistic. It would be more difficult to cast than a levitation formation because it would need to instantly learn techniques. That’s something only the human brain could do. As far as I’m aware, there are no formation cores that could achieve that. You shouldn’t only learn what’s taught; be willing to extrapolate and innovate if you want to excel. The future requires change and new ideas.”
Ai Xiao whispered to Mu Yu, “There’s no such thing as a perfect formation. Celestial Star Sect’s formation’s flaw is that the moon influences the flow of spiritual energy on full-moon nights. During that window, their mountain-protection formation doesn’t function. If you’re fast enough, you could sneak in during that window.”
Hearing what Ai Xiao shared, Greater Heaven Caster Lu asserted, “The fewer people who know that, the better. We can’t reveal formations’ flaws as formation casters, or we’ll be out of a job.”
“Feng Mu is one of us, so it should not be against the rules. We just need to keep it to ourselves,” Ai Xiao expostulated.
“Technically speaking, it’s not a flaw. Even if you manage to sneak in during that time frame, Celestial Star Sect will still pick up on your presence.”
An idea permeated in Mu Yu’s mind.
