Chapter 473 Repairing the Mountain Protection Array
Qinglian Sword Sect, Patriarch Peak.

This is one of the most sacred and important places in the sect. Its importance is no less than the sect's treasury and scripture library.

Therefore, in the Patriarch Peak, there is a real fourth-order formation.

In fact, the entire sect’s mountain protection formation is a super fourth-order combination formation that can cover the entire mountain gate.

This large formation is composed of 6 formations, including fourth-order formations, more than third-order formations, and the rest are some auxiliary second-order and first-order formations.

Generally speaking, even if a sect activates a mountain protection formation, it is impossible to activate all the formations. At most, they can only activate the corresponding ones.

Although these formations were built on spiritual veins, which could provide endless spiritual power, high-quality spiritual stones were essential if one wanted to maximize the power of the formations.

Although the Qinglian Sword Sect has a foundation of tens of thousands of years and has been passed down continuously, no sect can afford to waste high-quality spirit stones, so most large formations are closed, or important places are opened at a low intensity.

However, within the sect, there are several places where formations have been opened for many years. Although they are opened at the lowest intensity, it also shows the importance of these places.

Zushi Peak is one of them.

At this time, under the leadership of Lu Meixian, the two Xu Juns arrived at the Zushi Peak.

Although this was not their first time here, nor was it their first time to observe the formation, every time they saw a fourth-level formation, they could not help but feel joy and amazement from the bottom of their hearts.

What they have to do now is to repair the formation, improve and make up for the obstructions in the formation, and replace some aging and ineffective materials.

Compared to rebuilding a fourth-order formation, this job couldn't be easier.

But even so, this job can only be done by a fourth-level formation master. If a third-level formation master is allowed to do it... Hehe, one mistake will make it too late to regret.

Lu Meixian said in a deep voice: "Now that you have seen it clearly, what do you think?"

The two Xu Juns looked at each other, and the elder Xu Jun nodded and said, "Uncle Master, don't worry. The structure is intact, but there are too many broken and old parts. As long as we spend more time, it will be able to be renovated."

Xu Jun also nodded slightly and said, "We checked the materials yesterday and it's basically enough. But..."

Lu Meixian raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Whatever, you can say it."

If we were to say who cares most about the mountain protection formation, it would definitely be him, the True Lord Sitting on the Ground.

Others could run away if the mountain gate was broken, but he couldn't run away even if he wanted to. Therefore, he hoped that the mountain protection formation would be intact, and if possible, it would be even better if it could be upgraded to the fifth level.

Of course, in this world, if someone wants to break through the Qinglian Sword Sect's mountain protection formation...

That is basically unlikely.

Xu Jun laughed and said, "Uncle Master, if we only want to repair this formation, the materials are more than enough, but you also know that the sect has many formations."

Lu Meixian was relieved and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the materials are still being collected, and I guarantee that there will be no delays."

Xu Jun was relieved at this point. When he turned around to look at the formation, he felt a sense of emotion again.

In fact, the mountain protection formation is the same as building a house.

Trying to build a mountain protection formation out of thin air is like building a house from scratch on an empty lot.

Starting from laying the foundation and building layer by layer, this is the most difficult part.

Now that the mountain protection formation is basically intact, the repairs they need to do are equivalent to painting the exterior walls of the house, then exterminating rats in each room and redecorating it.

Although the process is quite cumbersome, its difficulty is far greater than that of building a new formation.

If the two of them work together, they can make this fourth-level formation, which has been maintained for more than a thousand years and is gradually becoming outdated, look brand new in a few months at most.

Watching the harmonious scene of the two Xu Juns discussing with each other where to start.

Lu Meixian, Luo Puyu, Lei Pei and others looked at each other, nodded slightly, and a trace of relief appeared on their faces.

They prayed in their hearts that the relationship between the two would always remain harmonious and would never fall out for any reason.

This time, both of them came back.

After Xu Jun revealed that he was also a fourth-rank formation grandmaster, Lu Meixian and the others were overjoyed. Although they were also surprised, they did not find it strange to see that the two Xu Juns were rivals.

Anyway, it seems that what one of them can do, the other one will be able to do in a few years.

The faction had such a genius, which was enough to comfort the ancestors. And now two of them came at once...

To be honest, these two people are so talented, but they can be so friendly and close as if they were one person. I don't know how many people were shocked by this.

Under normal circumstances, if a sect only has such a peerless genius, then it is very simple. All they have to do is throw all the resources they can use at him.

No matter which sect it is, if they have such a disciple, they will cultivate him with all their strength without hesitation, so that he can grow up as quickly as possible and become the sect's purple gold beam that spans the sea.

But what if there are two such geniuses?

For a sect, even a super sect, it may not be a good thing.

Because even a super sect has limited resources.

Especially some of the most precious resources, often only available in one copy.

So, to which genius will this resource be given?

No matter which one you give to, the other will feel resentful. In the long run, this is not a favor, but a grudge.

And if the sect distributes it fairly to the two geniuses...

The biggest possibility is that both of them are dissatisfied with this, and become alienated, which results in neither side pleasing the other.

However, this kind of thing is just a fantasy for most sects, because they simply cannot have such a genius disciple.

But now, the Qinglian Sword Sect really has it, and two at a time.

After little Xu Jun became his disciple, Lu Meixian Zhenjun and a group of knowledgeable people were actually quite worried.

However, they never imagined that little Xu Jun, who had been traveling for decades, would return to the sect with big Xu Jun, and looking at the way they looked, they were closer than brothers.

If you say that the two of them will become enemies, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Xu Jun and Kendo Xu Jun were discussing heatedly. Although they were one and the same, they were still two people after all. Although they could understand each other, they still had different ideas and considerations.

Therefore, when their thoughts were separated, they also had many arguments. Of course, in the end, these arguments would form a unified opinion.

This time, the two of them are finally going to take action on the fourth-level formation.

Both of them were quite excited, and their discussions were very imaginative and their minds were opened wide.

Suddenly, they felt that the surroundings were a little quiet. They looked towards Lu Meixian and others and found that their eyes looked a little strange.

Swordsman Xu Jun smiled slightly and whispered: "Don't look at them, they are worried that we will have a falling out."

"Ah, what?" Xu Jun didn't quite understand. Would the two of them have a falling out?

Sword Master Xu Jun said slowly: "My master said that when we are promoted to Nascent Soul, the sect's resources may only be able to fully support one of us. He asked me to make preparations early."

Fortunately, Xu Jun didn't drink the water, otherwise he would have spit it out.

What's going on?

Do I have to compete with Kendo Xu Jun for sect resources?

Then Lei Pei reminded him to prepare early.

Get your head ready!

Xu Jun glanced in the direction of Lei Pei and thought to himself, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is not a good person.

Lei Pei was talking in a low voice with the Jindan elder beside him, when he suddenly felt a chill running through his heart. His body trembled slightly, and he looked forward, but found nothing.

He was full of confusion, wondering what was wrong with him?

Lu Meixian whispered something to Luo Puyu, urging him to speed up the collection of materials.

Luo Puyu naturally agreed, and decided in his heart to arrange another Jindan elder to take action.

Collecting materials is a top priority related to the mountain protection formation, and it cannot be neglected.

However, when his eyes fell on the two Xu Juns who were having a pleasant conversation, he grimaced and was a little hesitant to make a decision.

Luo Puyu did not tell anyone about the message his junior brother had given him yesterday.

This earned him a wave of genuine gratitude and admiration, making his position as the sect leader very secure.

Moreover, he also believed that his junior brother would never lie to him.

Unless little Xu Jun wanted to become his mortal enemy, he would never make such a promise concerning his fate.

However, although he was grateful to his junior brother, he was now the leader of the Qinglian Sword Sect and had too many things to consider.

In his heart, he favored his junior brother, but was unwilling to give up on the elder Xu Jun.

Alas, I just hope that these two brothers can live in harmony for as long as possible.

He had been in the sect for a long time and was well-informed. Therefore, he clearly understood that in each generation of the sect, there was only one person who could achieve the greatest achievements and the greatest support.

And this person is often the sect’s Nascent Soul ancestor.

For example, his master Zhenyi Zhenjun is like this, and so is his senior brother Lu Meixian Zhenjun.

As for himself, to be honest, he really lacks confidence in whether he can advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Because along the way, his foundation was far less solid than Lu Meixian's. However, even if there was only a slight chance, he would not give up.

But now, looking at the big and small Xu Jun, he was really in a dilemma.

Oh, never mind, things will work out when the time comes, just take it one step at a time.

However, if there really comes a day when I need to make a choice...

Luo Puyu's gaze lingered on little Xu Jun for a moment longer, and he made a decision in his heart.

Lu Meixian glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly felt fortunate that she had successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and stepped down from the position of sect leader.

However, there are some things that he cannot avoid even if he wants to.

"Let's start from here." Xu Jun said, pointing to a broken line.

It has not been maintained for many years, so there is an extra broken line here. Of course, this place cannot be said to be insignificant to the entire formation, but it is almost the same.

Therefore, even though there are broken lines, the impact on the entire formation is almost negligible.

If compared with an ordinary household in the Xianmeng, one of the sockets on the power strip was damaged and no longer powered.

Although it is a bit inconvenient, it does not have much impact on living.

However, if there are only one or two minor problems occasionally, it doesn’t matter much. But if they accumulate to dozens, dozens, or even hundreds, the impact on the living experience will be too great.

The current Zushi Peak mountain protection formation is like this. There is no problem with the main structure, but various small problems are intermittent and have accumulated over the past thousand years.

The sect's formation masters can only handle the most basic and simplest ones, but they really don't dare to get started with the fourth-level formation.

Therefore, although the mountain protection formation can be used now, the spiritual energy is seriously retained and the power has been reduced by at least 20%. It has reached the point where it must be greatly repaired.

The two Xu Juns discussed whether to start with minor problems or to start along the central thread.

After a heated discussion, they decided that it would be better to be cautious when repairing the fourth-level formation for the first time and start with small problems.

Big Xu Jun brought a third-level treasure.

That’s right, it’s a fourth-level treasure.

However, even for a fourth-level mountain protection formation, it is impossible to use only fourth-level precious materials.

If that were the case, no matter how much foundation this sect had, it would not be enough.

In fact, even in the legends, those fifth-order super formations inherited from ancient times also used a large amount of third-order precious materials.

Only in those truly important core parts will the most advanced precious materials be used.

As for these third-level treasures, they can be replaced at any time. It's just that the level of the array masters in the sect was not high enough before, so they didn't dare to do it easily.

Now, in the hands of these two newly promoted fourth-level formation grandmasters, these third-level precious materials seem to have taken on new life, replacing those old and rotten materials.

When replacing the first one, the two Xu Juns were still very cautious. They weighed the pros and cons again and again and did not dare to make any drastic moves for fear of affecting the operation of the entire formation.

However, when the first and second minor problems were repaired and tested on a small scale and were running well, the two of them suddenly became extremely bold.

So, under the horrified gaze of Lu Meixian, Luo Puyu and others, the two of them started to work hard. In the beginning, they discussed things with each other, but later they began to divide the work and cooperate.

The two of them were each responsible for a piece, and the cleaning speed was getting faster and faster.

The speed and frequency made everyone feel terrified.

It took them two full months to complete their work. However, before activating the formation, Lu Meixian insisted on having the two of them conduct a cross-check.

With no other options, the two Xu Juns had to spend another half a month to do a thorough inspection.

When the mountain protection formation was restarted and its power was almost restored to its original peak, cheers broke out throughout the Qinglian Sword Sect.

After more than a thousand years, he finally had his own fourth-level formation grandmaster!
