NOVEL NEXT Chapter 722: Need a Key!
"But, the array and runes you created are truly a marvelous Array Formation, identical to the Beidou Seven Stars Formation I've heard of," Young Master Bai He said, puzzled.
"Exactly! I didn't say it was a fake formation. It's just that the formation is of no use to him, or you, because you can't possibly set it up successfully. There's one item needed for it that you might never find in your lifetimes. Without that item, the Beidou Seven Stars Formation is just like a piece of wasteland, utterly useless."
Qin Feng shrugged his shoulders.
The most critical thing about the Beidou Seven Stars Formation was his blood!
This was something only the Beidou Old Divine Doctor knew.
Without his blood, it was impossible to set up the Array Formation.
That's why Qin Feng was so generous, casually giving the method to arrange the formation to Yin Qianlei.
There was no choice.
He wasn't very proficient in arrays, not even knowing the basic Fire Formation.
The time he broke the formation of the "Seven Great Death Lands" in the North Country Forest Mountain was purely based on the keen sense from his bloodline power to detect the positions of the Array Eyes.
That's why he had been bragging earlier, saying that the questions Yin Qianlei asked were too simple.
It was to bring up the Beidou Seven Stars Formation, making Yin Qianlei completely let down his guard against him.
This formation was created by the Beidou Old Divine Doctor to heal him because of his special bloodline, which had caused him to fall sick often since birth, escaping death numerous times.
The Beidou Old Divine Doctor tried all kinds of medicines and bestowed numerous Cultivation Techniques on him, but none helped.
Three years ago in Dragon and Tiger Village, he fell ill again with no cure available.
Finally, the Beidou Old Divine Doctor found a way, creating the Beidou Seven Stars Formation based on his bloodline to eradicate the illness completely.
His Dragon Emperor Bloodline was thus fully activated.
That day.
Natural phenomena occurred; lightning flashed all night without a single drop of rain.
From the next day, there was nine days of torrential rain causing significant floods hundreds of kilometers away from Dragon and Tiger Village, and everyone in the village went to help with no casualties.
Despite that, many houses were still leveled by the flood.
Later.
Rumors spread that the legendary Dragon Emperor Bloodline was in Dragon and Tiger Village!
Hence there was chaos in Dragon and Tiger Village.
To avoid causing trouble for Dragon and Tiger Village, the Beidou Old Divine Doctor declared to the world that the one who possessed the Dragon Emperor's Blood was his disciple, Emperor Qin. He took him away from Dragon and Tiger Village to go overseas, disappearing for three years and attracting many from the Cultivation World to go overseas looking for him.
Of course.
That was just a diversion.
Emperor Qin changed his name to Qin Feng and came to the market, marrying into the Xu Family...
In short.
The Beidou Seven Stars Formation was actually created to cure his illness, and the Beidou Old Divine Doctor had explained every step of the formation to him in detail, to better integrate him into the formation and enhance his Dragon Emperor Bloodline, so he kept it in his mind.
Of course, there was another reason...
On the other hand.
Having obtained the Beidou Seven Stars Formation, Yin Qianlei was also extremely excited, pondering to himself.
"Why don't I also create a set of Beidou Seven Stars Formation? With this method, plus the abundant resources of the Supreme Sect, I can't speak for a large one, but a small-scale Beidou Seven Stars Formation should be feasible. It would be a great achievement for me!"
"Right, let's do just that!"
"Otherwise, once the main forces annihilate Red Fire Palace, the person responsible for the formation over there will have greater merits than me, potentially taking my place in the Supreme."
"..."
Thinking of this.
Yin Qianlei, without a second word, immediately started construction in the backyard.
Even with the method, setting up such a powerful array would take at least half a month, but Yin Qianlei's goal wasn't to set up a grand array. A small-scale array the size of a basketball court would suffice.
It wasn't for its significant efficacy, but to demonstrate his ability to the Sect Master and others.
To show them that he was capable of setting up such a powerful array.
By doing so,
his position in the Supreme Sect would be very stable, and he might even secure a position as an elder!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
Yin Qianlei immediately arranged for people to start gathering the resources needed for the array setup, prepared to work through the night!
On this side,
In the array room, Young Master Bai He still felt a sense of loss.
It was like finally finding a hundred bucks, only to realize it was torn and unspendable, which was really disappointing.
Qin Feng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job! I'll give you a set of arrays almost similar to the Beidou Seven Stars Formation later."
"Really?!"
Young Master Bai He's eyes immediately lit up.
"Do you want the 'Golden Silk Cloud Water Formation,' the 'Evil-breaking Dragon Array,' or perhaps the 'Hundred Beasts Divine Solution Formation'?"
Qin Feng spoke leisurely.
Upon hearing this, Young Master Bai He almost drooled.
These formations were all famously grand and had almost been lost; he didn't expect Qin Feng to know them?
Since he had just been able to depict the Beidou Seven Stars Formation, Young Master Bai He had no doubt about his words and excitedly went to study the Supreme Sect's formations.
Xiao Wu, standing by the side, asked in amazement, "Do you... really know those formations?"
"No, but I know the methods."
Qin Feng shrugged.
In the past, in order to treat his illness, not only did he try various Cultivation Techniques, but he also learned about many array principles, as arrays, more than techniques, illustrate the relationship between man, heaven, earth, and energy. This helped him understand the mysteries of his body, so he knew some array techniques.
It's like someone who has read many recipes but still cannot cook as well as a chef.
By receiving Young Master Bai He and the Sun and Moon Villa, Qin Feng had indeed enlisted a "chef team."
At the moment,
Young Master Bai He began his studies.
These arrays were all crafted by their Sun and Moon Villa, and he was very familiar with them. After studying them briefly, he said, "Modifying the array isn't hard, but it needs a 'key'."
"Key?" Qin Feng asked.
"That's right, it's a magic artifact that controls the whole array. Without the 'key,' just changing the array's core is ineffective."
"The key of the Supreme Sect's array is a Jade Pendant, usually carried by the Sect Master. Unfortunately, the Sect Master is currently at the 'Wutian' base. It might be difficult to get hold of it, and we can't alert the Sect Master. Otherwise, once the Sect Master knows that people from our Sun and Moon Villa haven't headed to the 'Wutian' base, he will get suspicious."
"It seems our plan is going to fail; we might as well head home!"
Young Master Bai He, with a regretful demeanor that conveyed the message of "I'd like to try hard, but circumstances don't allow it, and there's nothing I can do," said.
Qin Feng shook his head and replied, "Not necessarily. What does he need that Jade Pendant for during the battle? It's likely to be left in his room. We can steal it tonight, and that should solve the problem."
"Steal?! Please, this is the Supreme Sect. Stealing here is tantamount to suicide!"
Immediately, Young Master Bai He refused.
"Relax, it won't be."
Qin Feng smiled, his lips curling up, and turned his head to look at Xiao Wu.
