I am Master Maoshan

"Greetings to His Majesty the God King!" A group of high-ranking officials of the Zhenzong, led by the great elder Shang Shu, bowed to Liu Jun, their tone full of awe and respect.

However, in this solemn atmosphere, Long Aodi seemed a little out of place.

This guy just nodded lightly to Liu Jun, still with an expression of "I know you, but I don't approve of you" on his face.

There seemed to be some complex emotions hidden in his eyes, including disdain and challenge, as if he was engaging in a silent contest with Liu Jun.

Liu Jun looked at the scene in front of him, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He knew very well that although these high-ranking officials of the Zhen Sect were respectful to him on the surface, they might not be truly convinced in their hearts. And Long Aodi's attitude made him feel an inexplicable pressure and challenge.

"It's okay, don't be so restrained. I came here quite suddenly this time and made a big mistake. I'm quite embarrassed about it," said Liu Jun.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. We were the ones who misunderstood you and your mount. We thought your three-legged beast was an enemy and hastily activated the formation. Unexpectedly, your three-legged beast was accidentally injured."

The great elder Shang Shu had a trace of guilt on his face and spoke in an apologetic tone.

His eyes revealed genuine regret, and he was obviously very uneasy about the consequences of this misunderstanding. He was afraid that Liu Jun would use this as an excuse to cause trouble for their Zhen Sect.

"It's okay, it's okay," Liu Jun smiled and waved his hands, looking unconcerned, "It just got dizzy for a while, but it's fully recovered now."

"By the way, is your sect protection formation okay? The impact just now was quite strong," Liu Jun asked.

Upon hearing this, the great elder Shang Shu quickly replied, "It's not a big problem. The sect protection formation is being repaired urgently and it will probably be restored to its original state soon."

When Liu Jun heard this, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes: "Repairing the formation? I'm quite interested in this. I wonder if I can go and take a look?"

"Of course," the great elder Shang Shu answered without hesitation.

Although he was somewhat surprised at why Liu Jun wanted to guard the sect formation, he was more respectful and trustful of the Platinum God King. After all, in the entire Platinum God Realm, no one could shake the status of Liu Jun, the God King.

Normally, this protective formation is the top secret of a sect and will not be easily allowed to be visited by outsiders. However, in front of Liu Jun, all of this seems to be no longer so important.

Because Liu Jun is the Platinum God King, the entire Platinum God Realm is his territory. To be frank, the mountaintops of the Zhen Sect are already under Liu Jun's jurisdiction to some extent. Why can't he take a look at his own territory?
Therefore, under the leadership of the great elder Shang Shu and other high-ranking members of the Zhenzong, Liu Jun and his party came to the repair site of the protective formation of the sect.

I saw a group of formation masters in long robes with focused expressions busy with complicated formation diagrams. Their fingers flew flexibly, constantly taking out spirit stones that were shining with spiritual light from storage rings, accurately embedding them into various nodes of the formation diagram, and carefully repairing the structure of the sect protection formation.

Liu Jun stood aside, his hands behind his back, observing all this with a sharp gaze. Sometimes he nodded slightly, showing a look of approval, and sometimes he frowned and pondered for a moment before putting forward his own unique insights and opinions.

However, his ideas were in great conflict with the concepts of some senior formation masters in the Formation Sect.

These masters have been immersed in the orthodox research of formations for a long time, and it seems a bit difficult for them to accept Liu Jun's knowledge of formations, which combines the strengths of hundreds of schools and is acquired through actual combat.

To put it simply, Liu Jun's knowledge of formations is like that of a wandering knight who has experienced countless adventures and challenges and learned a lot of unique skills from various masters. Although his formation level has reached the level of a grandmaster, his approach tends to be wild and unconventional.

The Zhenzong, on the other hand, is more like an orthodox institution with a long history. The formation masters here have received strict training and education since childhood. Their formation knowledge system is complete and rigorous, but it also appears to be somewhat limited and rigid.

At this moment, a grumpy formation master suddenly stopped what he was doing, stared at Liu Jun with displeasure, and said with a bit of contempt and dissatisfaction: "What are you talking about? If you don't understand, don't talk!"

As soon as these words came out, all the high-ranking members of the Zhen Sect were so frightened that their hearts almost jumped out. They knew that Liu Jun's identity was very important, and he was the high and mighty God King. If these words were spread, it would probably bring disaster to the Zhen Sect.

Upon seeing this, the great elder Shang Shu hurriedly stepped forward and sternly rebuked, "Elder Li, don't be so presumptuous! This is our Divine King, how dare you be so rude?"

But this Elder Li was obviously a stubborn old man. He did not immediately bow his head and apologize because of Liu Jun's noble status as a Platinum God King. He just snorted coldly, with disdain and arrogance written all over his face. Then he turned his head and continued to immerse himself in his formation repair work, as if he didn't care about anything around him.

Seeing this, the great elder Shang Shu secretly groaned in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Liu Jun, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, you are a magnanimous person. Don't argue with this elder Li. He is obsessed with the study of formations all day long, and his brain is almost broken. It is inevitable that he speaks and does things inappropriately. Please don't mind, I will punish him severely and give you an explanation." Upon hearing this, Liu Jun raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, waved his hand nonchalantly, and said: "No, no, the great elder is too serious. I actually admire this kind of people, they have character and persistence. But I want to make it clear that I don't understand formations, it's just that my views are different from yours."

As soon as Liu Jun finished speaking, Elder Li came back, staring at Liu Jun with a pair of big eyes like copper bells, and said rudely: "What do you think? Humph, it's just nonsense!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the high-ranking members of the Zhen Sect around them all changed drastically. They wished they could sew Elder Li's mouth shut immediately. You know, this Liu Jun is a Platinum God King, with an extremely noble status and unfathomable strength. If he is really irritated, why would we need to send troops to fight? A God King's order is enough to make the entire Zhen Sect disappear into ashes.

However, Liu Jun did not get angry. He just smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Elder Li, what do you think if I can repair this protective formation by myself and make it stronger than before?" Liu Jun had a faint smile on his face.

Elder Li's gray eyebrows trembled violently when he heard this, and the whisk in his hand slammed to the ground: "You little brat! This protective formation is the result of the hard work of the 72nd generation of our ancestors. There are 36,000 formation patterns alone. You want to repair it by yourself? And improve it?" He laughed in anger, and pointed his skinny finger at the tip of Liu Jun's nose: "If you can really do it, I will not only work like a slave for you, but also give you my treasured "Heavenly Secret Formation Map"!"

There was an uproar in the meeting hall. Several Zhenzong elders looked at each other in bewilderment. The "Heavenly Secret Formation Diagram" was the sect's treasure, recording ten lost formations from ancient times.

"Elder Li, think twice." Long Aodi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up to remind him.

He knew Liu Jun much better than anyone else, and he was very clear that Liu Jun's attainments in formations were only higher than his.

Although repairing the sect protection formation that had been passed down for many years and improving the formation by himself seemed incredible, according to his understanding, Liu Jun never did anything without confidence.

The chief elder of the Zhen Sect, Shang Shu, coughed lightly to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, the protective formation of the sect is not stable yet. You are worth a million dollars, so you can't easily change it." Before he finished speaking, Elder Li had already interrupted him with a flick of his sleeve: "Master, there is no need to say more! Today, I want to see how this so-called Platinum God King can make up for this outrageous lie!"

Liu Jun suddenly squatted down and lightly touched the crack on the ground with his fingertips. A ray of golden light moved along the spider-web-like cracks, outlining the outline of the complete array base on the jade floor tiles.

When he looked up, there seemed to be stars in his eyes: "Since Elder Li is using the "Heavenly Secret Formation Diagram" as a bet, why not add another jackpot? If I fail, I will voluntarily give the "Great Void Formation Solution" to the Formation Sect."

The uproar around them was even louder! Several elders stood up excitedly. The "Explanation of the Taixu Formation" was a sacred book of formations that had been lost for a thousand years. It was said to record the Qiankun formation that could connect heaven and earth.

In terms of value, the solution to the Taixu Formation is absolutely no worse than the Tianji Formation Diagram, and is even more valuable in some aspects.

After all, although the Tianji Formation Diagram records many out-of-print large formations, many of the records are incomplete. The Taixu Formation Interpretation was written by a great formation master in ancient times for future generations to learn, and can effectively improve the formation level of the viewers.

"Good! Good! Good!" Elder Li said three good words in a row, his skinny face flushed red, "Three days is the limit! If the formation cannot function as before at sunset three days later, the solution to the Taixu Formation will belong to me.

Liu Jun laughed loudly, and suddenly eighteen battle flags flew out of his sleeves and accurately inserted into the surrounding void. The flags were dark gold, with intricate cloud patterns embroidered on the edges, and when there was no wind, they vaguely formed the shape of the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams. On each flag, different star patterns were embroidered with silver thread, and they flashed a strange light in the sun.

"Why three days? Eight hours. If you can't do it, I lose!" Liu Jun walked towards the core of the sect protection formation. His voice came with the wind, with unquestionable confidence.

The elders around looked at each other in bewilderment. The sect protection formation was set up by the founder, and no one had dared to tamper with it in the past ten thousand years. Even Long Aodi, the current strongest genius of the sect, did not dare to try to improve the sect protection formation.

How dare this Platinum God King, who doesn't seem to be very good at battle formations, make such a bold statement?

"Let's go, stay away." Long Aodi sighed, and a trace of worry flashed in his deep eyes.

He thought of the unfortunate scene when he first met Liu Jun. Logically, the danger of repairing the formation should not affect outsiders, but he always felt uneasy in his heart, so he felt that it was safer to stay away.

Before others could react, Long Aodi had already walked a long distance. His back was as straight as a pine tree, yet there was a hint of imperceptible tension.

"Why do we have to stand farther away?" The young disciples whispered to each other in confusion. One of the young men in a green Taoist robe scratched his head and said, "Didn't the Platinum God King say that he wanted to improve the formation? We can only learn from it if we stand closer!"
