Chapter 435

Blood Jade Black Crystal’s Break

Mu Yu had moved on to mastering more advanced formations during the two month period of training with Greater Heaven Caster Lu. Additionally, he began learning from Ku Mu’s Profound Formations. He was thrilled when he managed to understand the contents. He had a habit of staring at Blood Jade Black Crystal and reminiscing his days with Ku Mu. For some reason today, Blood Jade Black Crystal cracked!

Mu Yu shook Xiaoshuai awake and frantically asked, “Xiaoshuai, why did it crack?”

If Blood Jade Black Crystal was destroyed, the Soul Fixing Formation imbued within would be cancelled, jeopardising Ku Mu’s soul.

Still groggy, Xiaoshuai popped out and asked, “I don’t know. I didn’t bite it.”

“Obviously. The issue is the spiritual qi is fading. Xiaoshuai, do you have any way of supplying it with more spiritual qi?” Mu Yu was already injecting his spiritual energy into Blood Jade Black Crystal. Alas, even Ku Mu’s apparition had disappeared along with many of the formation lines.

Xiaoshuai snatched Blood Jade Black Crystal and scrutinised it. In the end, he shook his head. “It requires too much Spiritual Qi to maintain Soul Fixing Formation. Ku Mu used the crystal many times prior to imparting it to you, so... Our only option is to migrate Soul Fixing Formation to another Greater Heaven Stage formation foundation.”

Mu Yu took in a big breath and proceed to flip through Profound Formations for information pertaining to Soul Fixing Formation. There were a total of 29,372 lines, eighty-one small-scale eight trigrams formation inlaid within the largest eight trigrams formation. Every single small-scale eight trigrams formation needed to follow a fixed structure. Worst of all, the information wasn’t complete for Ku Mu left out aspects that he deemed unnecessary to note.

“I’ve only gone as high as two thousand lines. Am I supposed to draw a new Soul Fixing Formation? I can’t manage 29,372 lines, not to mention the missing information.”

“You can only try. Else, Ku Mu’s soul might really be doomed,” stated the dragon vine.

Mu Yu earnestly studied Profound Formations. Xiaoshuai, who had a high aptitude for studying, joined him. As they were reading, Xiaoshuai asked, “The third hexagram is based off Wind Interlinked Hearts Formation’s method. Have you learnt that formation?”

“Greater Heaven Caster Lu, could I meet Grandmaster Chen Tiandao?”

Greater Heaven Caster Lu stroked his beard. “No. He usually trains in the forbidden forest. You’ll only be granted an audience when he wants to see you.”

“But...”

“No buts. Go and study now. By the way, you can access the third floor of Formation Hall now that you have the nephrite piece. You’ll find all Greater Heaven Stage formations there. If there’s anything you don’t understand, come see me.”

Mu Yu walked off with his head down, brooding in his own mind.

I guess I should be happy Chen Tiandao hasn’t been assassinated yet. This isn’t going to do. I must find a way to meet Chen Tiandao before Blood Jade Black Crystal is finished. How am I going to enter the forbidden zone, though? I don’t have time to wait until the tournament to win the privilege to the forbidden forest.

Mu Yu found himself a peaceful place instead of his room – Wu Wenxing and Duan Yang were there, after all.

Crack! Blood Jade Black Crystal was almost ready to split in two.

“No! No! No! No!” Mu Yu gripped Blood Jade Black Crystal tight, grasping at any straw he could get his hands on. Alas, it broke apart. Mu Yu could see Ku Mu’s soul inside Soul Fixing Formation. He cried, “Don’t leave, Dad!”

Soul Fixing Formation gradually crumbled before Mu Yu’s eyes.
