"You're right." The Grand Master finally nodded in agreement, "Ling Xiao is indeed too dazzling. We may have been mistaken before. Perhaps we should really re-evaluate our view of him.
Attitude."
…
In the majestic Sutra Pavilion of the Shengwen Sect, Ling Xiao sat upright, with an ancient formation diagram spread out in front of him.
His eyes shone with a deep blue light, as if he could penetrate the barriers of time and look directly at the essence of the array diagram. He stared at every line and symbol on the array diagram with all his concentration, trying to analyze and absorb the mysteries within it.
.
Next to him, Lu Hang saw Ling Xiao being so involved and couldn't help but start to introduce: "Little friend Ling Xiao, do you know the origin of this small fusion array? This is the fifth level of our Holy Pattern Sect that we are proud of.
The high-grade holy pattern formation is known as the most powerful formation in the entire southern region. Its power is so great that when fully activated, it is said to be comparable to a strike from a peak warrior in the martial soul realm."
"However, in our Holy Pattern Sect, no one except our ancestors can successfully practice such a powerful formation."
Speaking of this, Lu Hang's eyes flashed with regret, but then became full of expectation: "However, I believe that your talent and perseverance, little friend, will be able to break this shackles. If you are willing to join our Holy Pattern Sect,
, I can even make an exception and give you the diagram of this small fusion array to help you understand its secrets as soon as possible."
"No need!" Ling Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, with a satisfied and profound light shining in his eyes. He smiled slightly and said to Lu Hang next to him: "Elder Lu, this small fusion formation is too difficult after all. Let's observe it.
Now that we are satisfied, let us go and see your sect's mountain-protecting formation. After I help you repair the formation, I will leave."
When Lu Hang heard Ling Xiao's words, he showed a little surprise on his face. He asked doubtfully: "My friend, this formation is a fifth-level high-grade holy pattern formation. Don't you want to study it more deeply?"
Ling Xiao shook his head, sighed softly and said: "Senior, this small fusion formation is indeed exquisite, and it is not something that ordinary people like me can easily understand. I am lucky enough to have a glimpse of its secrets, and I am already satisfied. Besides, I know
My current cultivation level is not enough to fully master it, and reading it several times is just a futile effort. It would be better to spend my time on more practical things."
When Lu Hang heard this, he couldn't help but admire Ling Xiao's frankness and self-awareness. He nodded and said with a smile: "My little friend is really a kind-hearted person, not limited to fame and fortune. In this case, let me send someone to take you to Hushan University
The place where the formation is located."
After saying that, Lu Hang turned to the two disciples Hong Yue and Li Xuan and said: "Hong Yue, Li Xuan, the two of you will go with Ling Xiao to protect the mountain formation. You must do your best to assist him in repairing the formation. If there is any need,
, report to me in time.”
Hongyue and Li Xuan responded in unison: "Yes! Sect Master."
Afterwards, the three of them left the Sutra Pavilion and went to the place where the mountain protection formation was. Lu Hang went to see the ancestor and reported Ling Xiao's situation and decisions one by one.
With a somewhat contemptuous expression, Lu Hang stepped into his ancestor's retreat place and reported to the old man who was sitting on a futon with his eyes closed to relax: "Ancestor, I'm afraid Ling Xiao's talent is not what you think.
He was so outstanding. He only looked at the formation diagram of the small fusion array for less than a stick of incense, then lost his patience and chose to give up."
The old man slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he rebuked coldly: "Idiot! How can you judge the potential of a genius so rashly? Since he has decided to give up watching the formation diagram, it means that
He has already mastered the essence, so there is no need to waste any more time."
Lu Hang was startled by the rebuke from his ancestor, and he hurriedly defended: "Ancestor, you are saying that Ling Xiao has learned the small fusion formation? How is this possible? It takes only one stick of incense to learn the small fusion formation.
It’s a fantasy! It took you three years to learn this little fusion formation back then.”
The old man shook his head slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "You, always measure others by your own standards. Real geniuses can often surpass ordinary people's imagination. Just like the number one in the world in the Tianxiahui back then, you
Aren't you also skeptical? But what about the result? He finally proved his strength and became a legend that no one can match."
"Humph, you just need to wait and see what happens. This young man will soon be able to carve his name on our sect's solemn dragon bone tower and become a legend in the entire Southern Territory and even the entire Demon Suppression Mansion!" The old man said in his words.
Full of determination, he snorted coldly and then closed his eyes, obviously unwilling to tangle with Lu Hang anymore.
Lu Hang was deeply shocked by his ancestor's assertion. He had never seen his ancestor evaluate a young man so seriously. A strong uneasiness surged in his heart, as if he had missed something important. So he hurriedly rushed
After leaving the ancestor's retreat, he was eager to find Ling Xiao.
However, when he arrived at the mountain-protecting formation, he found Hong Yue and Li Xuan standing there, staring blankly ahead, as if they had been shocked by something.
"Where's the person? Where's Ling Xiao?" Lu Hang asked eagerly, his voice full of anxiety.
Hongyue came back to her senses and replied calmly: "He has left."
"Left? How is this possible! Didn't he say he would help us repair the mountain guard formation? Why did he leave so soon? He didn't keep his promise!" Lu Hang's voice was full of anger and confusion.
Seeing that Lu Hang was so excited, Hong Yue quickly explained: "Sect Master, you have misunderstood. Ling Xiao has already repaired the mountain guarding formation. And... he spent a very short time, not even ten breaths. You
Look, the holy patterns on the formation have appeared perfectly, as if they have never been damaged."
Lu Hang looked in the direction pointed by the red moon, and saw that the originally broken holy patterns on the mountain guarding formation had been reconnected, emitting a faint light, like a huge barrier, guarding the entire holy pattern sect. He was wide-eyed.
My eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"This...how is this possible..." Lu Hang's voice trembled. He had doubted his ancestor's words before, but now, he had to believe that Ling Xiao did have extraordinary talents. He stood there without speaking for a long time, feeling in his heart
Full of shock and awe.
Lu Hang began to reflect on his previous rash attitude, and he realized that his contempt for Ling Xiao might have missed the opportunity to make friends with a genius.
…
After Ling Xiao completed the task of repairing the Shengwen Sect's mountain-protecting formation, he did not choose to rest or celebrate immediately. Instead, he resolutely returned to Tianxiahui and immediately chose to retreat. He knew very well that this retreat would be harmful to him.
