Formation Seal
“Relax, Elder. You’re going to traumatise them if you keep reprimanding them. Reviving Dad has always been a goal of mine. Such a prodigy deserves to live selfishly for once.”
“I’m disillusioned! I would’ve slapped you two to the past if you two didn’t stake your lives to defend Pill Cauldron Sect! Mu Yu, you must revive your dad no matter what. I’ll die a third time if I must!”
Daoist Yundan, who kept his eyes on the ground while taking an earful, raised his head to say, “I robbed him of the lifetime of an opportunity back then. If necessary, I can offer my life.”
“What is the matter with you? You want to die, and leave Pill Cauldron Sect in this state? Can you use a brain cell or two? I’ve lived for millenniums, which is plenty. You, to the contrary, need to live on to make amendments for your errors. Must I clobber some intellect into you?!”
Mu Yu took a book off the shelf and dusted it. Smiling, he assured, “Don’t worry. It’ll all work out.”
In reality, the only one who could offer their life to revive Ku Mu was Mu Yu as the former gave the latter his life. One could not return what they did not have.
I’ll do my best to find the formation you spoke of. You might as well go do something else for none of you know anything about formations. I’ll take care of myself here.”
“I’ll get going, as well,” stated Helian Kong.
Mu Yu passed Helian Kong’s soul item to Daoist Yundan.
“That’s my femur bone. You better be gentle with it, or I’ll take yours, you hear?!”
“I promise to ensure I do not leave a single blemish, Elder.”
Sure, it was awkward constantly being labelled a brat or a runt at his age, but Daoist Yundan quickly adapted – not that there was any reason to disrespect Elder Helian Kong.
“I’ve found two more. We need to find another three.”
“Let’s check the ceiling and walls again.”
Xiaoshuai went as far as dusting and cleaning to search for the remaining three. Sadly, he did not find anything. Clearing the dust collected on him using spiritual qi, he asked, “You sure there are nine?”
“There should be. The formation takes nine seals to activate.”
Mu Yu alternated his attention between the six seals, eventually noticing something about their positions relative to each other. Hence, he went to scrutinise each one. “I get it now.”
“I don’t.”
“The seals aren’t randomly placed; I doubt the caster was that bored. I’m sure there’s logic behind the choice of placements. From this angle, we’ve found six, which means the remainder should be...”
