I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2367 Arrangement
"The key to my future destiny? What do you mean?" Liu Jun stared wide-eyed, his face full of confusion.

Jiang Wuwei stood aside and slowly said, "Aren't you the chosen one of Heaven's Order? But you don't actually want to be the one of Order, because the price of being the one of Order is too high. The first price is that you will grow old alone. All your relatives and friends, no matter how long their lives are, will leave you one after another within a certain period of time."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jun's body jolted violently, a hint of pain and struggle flashing in his eyes. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but an invisible force blocked his throat.

After a few seconds of silence, Liu Jun slowly spoke, his voice slightly hoarse: "Yes, my master and the others are no longer here. During the Heavenly Chessboard event, they disappeared as pieces."

A few days ago, at the Heavenly Chessboard, during that game of Heavenly Chess, Liu Jun watched helplessly as his master, Yan Li, his master's wife, and Emperor Long Ao disappeared into the light of the chessboard. He was powerless to do anything about it. That despair and pain overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

Jiang Wuwei looked at Liu Jun with a hint of sympathy in his eyes and continued, "It's normal. You are just a blade of Heaven. If you, this blade, had human emotions, would you still be controlled by Heaven? Heaven needs a tool that is absolutely obedient and without any ulterior motives, not a person with flesh and blood and emotions."

Liu Jun clenched his fists even tighter, a surge of anger and resentment rising in his heart. Why should he become a tool of Heaven? Why should he suffer such pain and pay such a price? A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

Just then, Liu Jun's gaze fell on a coffin next to him, inside which lay a person who looked exactly like him—the fake Liu Jun.

A thought struck him, as if he had grasped at the last straw. He turned to look at Jiang Wuwei and asked, "So this fake Liu Jun can help me?"

Jiang Wuwei nodded, his gaze turning serious: "Of course, if you want to resurrect your master and the others, you must defy the heavens, and the price will be sacrificing yourself. Of course, it's impossible to actually sacrifice you, but the price will be considerable."

A flicker of hesitation crossed Liu Jun's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by unwavering resolve. He knew what this defying fate meant—it could mean utter destruction and eternal damnation. But for his master and mistress, for those he deeply loved, he was willing to pay any price.

“Okay, I’m willing,” Liu Jun said firmly, gritting his teeth.

Jiang Wuwei looked at Liu Jun, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. He knew that this young man was prepared to face all difficulties. He slowly walked to the coffin, gently stroking the edge of it with both hands, as if sensing the presence of the fake Liu Jun inside.

“This fake Liu Jun is crucial. He possesses a special power that can break the rules of Heaven and reverse time, giving you a chance to resurrect your master and the others. But using this power also means you will have to endure immense pain and risk,” Jiang Wuwei said.

Liu Jun's gaze fell on the "fake Liu Jun" in the coffin who looked exactly like him, and he felt a mix of emotions.

"Then what should we do?" Liu Jun asked Jiang Wuwei beside him after a moment of silence.

His personality is such that once he's made a decision, he won't turn back, no matter how hard he tries, he'll keep going no matter the cost. He's stubborn and headstrong.

Jiang Wuwei, with a serious expression, slowly took out a book from his robes and handed it to Liu Jun, saying, "See if you know how to make this formation. When the time comes, you must give all your power to this fake Liu Jun and make him the core of the formation. With this powerful force, reverse time and space to resurrect your master Qingfengzi and the others."

Liu Jun was slightly taken aback, and asked with a puzzled look, "Is this a formation?"

He had read books on formations before, but they usually contained several formations in one book. This was the first time he had ever seen a book that only contained one formation.

Filled with doubt, Liu Jun slowly opened the book. The moment he opened it, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, it really is a formation!"

As time passed, Liu Jun's expression gradually became serious. This formation was incredibly powerful, extremely powerful, and incredibly complex.

The book is densely covered with various array runes and lines, which intertwine and entwine, as if forming a vast and complex maze.

Liu Jun's mastery of formations was unparalleled in the God Realm; his understanding of formations had reached an exceptionally high level. Yet, at this moment, facing this formation, he felt an unprecedented pressure.

The complexity of this formation far exceeded his imagination. Every detail required precise control, as even the slightest mistake could lead to the failure of the entire formation or even trigger unpredictable disasters.

Liu Jun frowned, and fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. He knew very well that even with his skill level, he was not more than 50% confident that the setup would be successful.

“I need to find a place to try,” Liu Jun said, closing the book with a determined look in his eyes.

He was unwilling to gamble without absolute certainty, because the opportunity was only once. If he failed, his life or death would not matter, but his master and mistress Yan Li would never have another chance to be resurrected.

After saying this, Liu Jun began to think about a suitable place for the experiment. First, the place must be hidden enough to avoid causing unnecessary trouble during the experiment; at the same time, there must be enough space and conditions to set up this complex formation.

After much deliberation, Liu Jun finally came up with a place—an abandoned ancient battlefield in the Trial Grounds. It was a secluded place with a flat and open terrain, and some ruins around it could serve as auxiliary support for the formation.

After greeting Jiang Wuwei, Liu Jun and Tu Shan Susu immediately set off towards the abandoned ancient battlefield.

The reason he brought Tu Shan Su Su along was mainly because he couldn't use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, nor could he use his own star power. If something happened, he would be completely finished.

With Tu Shan Susu by our side, we can rely on her in crucial moments. By the time they finally arrived at the abandoned ancient battlefield, it was already dark.

Liu Jun stood in the center of the ancient battlefield, took a deep breath, and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. Based on the records in the book, he began to conceive a plan for arranging the formation in his mind.

First, he needs to place several hundred top-grade spirit stones in each of the four corners of the ancient battlefield. These top-grade spirit stones are the activation energy of the formation, providing sufficient energy support for its activation.

Next, Liu Jun began to draw the core runes of the formation in the center of the ancient battlefield. He held a specially made rune pen, dipped it in rune ink made from certain rare materials, and drew stroke by stroke on the ground.

Each rune seemed to possess a life of its own, gradually emerging from Liu Jun's brushstrokes. As the runes were continuously drawn, the surrounding space began to ripple slightly, and a powerful aura of energy permeated the air.

However, just as Liu Jun was about to finish drawing the core runes, an unexpected event occurred. A gust of wind howled past, stirring up dust and blurring Liu Jun's vision.

At the same time, a mysterious force surged from underground, attempting to interfere with the drawing of the formation. Liu Jun's heart tightened; he knew something had gone wrong, but he didn't panic because his Sister Su was still there.

As expected, Tu Shan Su Su sensed something was wrong. Instantly, a powerful demonic force stabilized the rune pen in Liu Jun's hand, allowing Liu Jun to continue drawing runes.

After much arduous effort, Liu Jun finally completed the drawing of the core runes. He stood up, let out a long sigh, and looked at the preliminary formation before him, feeling both a sense of relief and even more worry.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, but this formation is even more difficult later on.

"Do you need to rest for a bit?" Tu Shan Su Su tilted her head slightly, looking at the beads of sweat rolling down Liu Jun's forehead, and asked softly.

Liu Jun's expression was solemn. He shook his head slightly, enduring the fatigue and discomfort in his body, and said, "No need, Sister Su. The next step is crucial. This formation has reached its most critical moment. I cannot use my own power, so I cannot sense the flow of energy in this formation. We need to share our divine senses and use your perception to understand everything in the formation."

Tu Shan Susu nodded slightly, her beautiful face showing no hesitation, her eyes revealing her trust in Liu Jun.

She took a few steps forward, and behind her, ten fox tails swayed gracefully, shimmering with a soft white light, as if containing endless power.

Immediately afterwards, one of the fox tails suddenly grew longer, quickly coiling around Liu Jun like a giant python.

Liu Jun felt a warm and powerful force flowing from the fox's tail, enveloping him tightly. This demonic power was pure and gentle, causing him to involuntarily relax his body.

"Relax and don't resist this power. I will guide your consciousness to connect with me," Tu Shan Su Su said softly.

Liu Jun nodded, slowly closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down. He felt the demonic power slowly entering his body and flowing through his meridians. Gradually, his consciousness began to blur, as if he were in a void.

The next second, he felt a bright light before his eyes, as if he had passed through an invisible barrier. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Tu Shan Susu's perspective, as if he had entered Tu Shan Susu's body. Everything around him became clear yet unfamiliar; he could feel Tu Shan Susu's every breath and every fluctuation of her emotions.

"I'm starting now." Tu Shan Su Su finished speaking, and gently waved her hands, drawing graceful arcs in the air.

Although she was not good at array formations, she had no problem sensing the power trajectory of array formations thanks to her innate keen perception and powerful demonic energy.

She closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and focused all her attention on the array. The surrounding air seemed to freeze, leaving only the shimmering runes and flowing energy.

As Tu Shan Susu's perception deepened, the energy flow within the formation gradually became clearer before her eyes. She could sense the source and destination of each energy, and perceive the subtle balances and changes within the formation. She shared her perception with Liu Jun through divine sense, allowing him to also unravel the mysteries of the formation.

Through Tu Shan Susu's perspective, Liu Jun saw a completely new world. He saw the hidden veins within the formation, the points where energy converged, and also the potential dangers within the formation.

Before Liu Jun could even warn them, a powerful backlash suddenly surged from within the formation. This force instantly attacked them, as if it wanted to devour them.

"Hmph!" Tu Shan Susu snorted coldly, her hands quickly forming hand seals in an attempt to resist the backlash. However, the force was too powerful, and her hand seal speed couldn't keep up with the impact of the backlash.

Seeing this, Liu Jun felt a pang of worry, but he couldn't help Tu Shan Susu at all, because he was only using his divine sense and couldn't use any of his own power.

At this critical moment, Tu Shan Su Su's ten fox tails simultaneously flashed with dazzling light, and a powerful demonic energy erupted from her body.

This force pierced through the impact of the backlash, forcefully repelling it.

The runes within the formation began to flicker violently, as if struggling. Finally, with a flash of dazzling light, the backlash from the formation was completely neutralized.
