Chapter 407

Formation Hall

Celestial Star Sect’s reinforcement squad outside Yin Corpse Formation was annihilated by the time Mu Yu escaped. It wouldn’t have been surprising if the individual in yellow of the fiends were the ones who wiped them out. Greater Heaven Caster Lu and Mu Yu scrambled out of Desert Forest to avoid becoming suspects to a crime they didn’t commit.

Mu Yu gave a fictional recount of what transpired in the underground palace, even claiming the mysterious individual erased his memory.

Halfway out of Desert Forest, Greater Heaven Caster Lu, out of nowhere, said, “I forgot something.”

“What did you forget?” asked Mu Yu, worrying his story was flawed.

“I should’ve waited for Zhou Jinglin to come out so that I could show him you’re still alive. That’d prove our Foundation Establishment Realm disciple is superior to Talisman Sect’s. You know he ruthlessly killed his assistant? He’d never be able to raise his head in my presence again if we could prove him a failure. We missed a great opportunity.”

“Greater Heaven Caster Lu, we should get going instead. Did you forget we have a mysterious prodigy? You should be devoting your efforts to developing him rather than boasting.”

“You have a point. I need to hurry back and ask them to reveal themselves. Talisman Sect is continuing to prosper while we are declining each passing year. You know how frustrating it is to wait for our mysterious genius to appear? I don’t understand what they’re worried about! Well, as long as they reveal themselves, I will do everything in my power to help them.”

Sorry, but I can’t reveal myself, Mu Yu inwardly said, feeling a pang of guilt again.

There were over a dozen Heaven Stage disciples sitting on the ground to study. To see the formation in a jade stone, all they had to do was draw a formation on their hand and place it onto the stone, insertng their conscious into the sealed formation. Teachers’ clones were also sealed inside the jade stones to provide lectures, increasing learning efficiency and saving teachers the hassle of having to repeat lectures or teach in person.

Mu Yu discovered that Heaven Stage formations weren’t as difficult as he imagined. Scratch that. They were as simple as a snap of the finger. While others in his rank spent days to grasp one formation, he had them down within two to four hours.

Mu Yu’s visit this time was to learn a concealment formation as Soul Fixing Formation, which Ku Mu discovered through his own experiments, crossed over to numerous other formations, one of which was a formation carving that was similar to concealment formations. It was his main priority as he needed Soul Fixing Formation to protect Ku Mu’s soul.

Concealment Formation could conceal anything, including oneself. How much could be concealed varied from person to person, ranging from complete concealment to just camouflaging themselves to a certain extent. The first time Mu Yu got it, he could only conceal his left hand. It wasn’t the most pleasant sight to see a hand floating in the mirror.

Upon entering the jade stone of his choice, Mu Yu attended a fifteen minute lecture from Greater Heaven Caster Lu on the bitter history of Formation Sect.

“Formation Sect is superior to Talisman Sect, yet they were now walking all over us and insulting us. A man would rather die than be humiliated. Disciples, you must take a stand for our honour. Please, let me know who you are so that we can defend Formation Sect’s honour.” Greater Heaven Caster Lu’s clone vanished once the speech was over.

Greater Heaven Caster Lan Xin then appeared to deliver the lecture on Concealment Formation since there was no better person to teach it than its inventor.

Greater Heaven Caster Lu planted over ten thousand jade stones into his impassioned clones in hopes of finding the mysterious prodigy. Mu Yu was stunned the first time he heard the plea. He was somewhat touched the second time he heard the plea. By the twentieth listen, he wanted to strangle Greater Heaven Caster Lu.

Soul Fixing Formation consisted of over a hundred formation patterns. Most vexing of all, they were all Greater Heaven Stage formations. Mu Yu couldn’t access the third floor owing to his rank.

“Greater Heaven Caster Lu, you win. The mysterious prodigy you’re searching for surrenders.” Mu Yu smiled hopelessly.
