Library of Heaven 2 Destiny Eternal

Chapter 107 Becoming an Elder

Seeing that he was serious and didn't seem to be joking, Elder Chen Jinlin said no more and walked out.

They arrived at the library and called out twice, only to find that Su Qiao was not there. They pushed the door open and walked into the room.

The surroundings were unusually quiet. All the teachers had been transferred to the martial arts arena to serve as referees. There was no one in sight, and no students either.

"Where is the formation?"

The Eye of Understanding was activated. Zhang Xuan looked around but did not notice anything unusual. He looked over with confusion.

"It has stopped operating. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to get in without a reference pass!" said Chen Jinlin.

Zhang Xuan suddenly realized.

It seems that the previous few times I came here, I did need to refer to the certificate. I thought this thing was for Elder Su Qiao to see. After all the fuss, it turned out to be the certificate for entering the formation.

After walking a few steps forward, Chen Jinlin pointed to a corner and said, "That's the formation base and flag. See how to repair it!"

Zhang Xuan looked over and saw two formation flags inserted diagonally in the corner of the bookshelf. They were made of unknown materials and were dark grey in color without any luster.

"defect!"

There was no change in the Tiandao Library, and no books were formed. It was not that the library was useless, but... the formation was not working at all.

A formation that is not working is like a practitioner who has not used any martial arts. Even if the library is powerful, it is unable to detect the defects. In other words, if you want to repair it, you must first make the formation work.

Seeing his serious expression, Chen Jinlin asked, "Is there any solution?"

"Let me study it..."

Arriving in front of the formation flag, Zhang Xuan touched it with his finger, and a book appeared.

"The red iron flag is made of purple silk mulberry cloth, and the flagpole is red iron fused with red silver. It was made by Lian Liaosheng, a formation master in Hanyuan Imperial Capital 80 years ago. The first flaw is that the quenching level of the flagpole is relatively low. The second flaw is that the formation pattern on the flag is not engraved in a standard way..."

After taking a quick glance, Zhang Xuan was speechless.

He touched the other one and got the same result, so he looked at Chen Jinlin in front of him: "Elder Chen, do you know the name of this formation?"

Knowing the material and defects of the flags will not help in repairing the formation.

"You don't even know... his name?"

Chen Jinlin was full of questions.

The other party accepted the task with great confidence, and I thought he knew a lot about the formation, and even had a talent for it. But then I told me that he didn’t even know the name of the formation... Are you kidding?
Zhang Xuan shook his head: "I just arrived, how can I know?"

The formations in the Master Master Continent are driven by spirit stones and spiritual energy, while those in this world are driven by source energy. It is like a fuel car and an electric car, although they are both cars, they are completely different in essence.

Therefore, the previous understanding of the formation is obviously not applicable here.

"This……"

After hearing what he said, although Chen Jinlin no longer held out any hope, he still explained out of politeness: "This formation in the library is called the [Purple Silkworm Sealing Qi Formation]. It is made up of purple silkworm mulberry flags. It has several functions such as defense and sealing qi..."

Introduced in detail.

This formation was built by people sent by the Tianming Palace back then, so now it is broken. Unless we go find people from the Tianming Palace, it is basically impossible to succeed.

But if they really wanted to invite him, the price would be quite high, so they kept putting it off.

Zhang Xuan looked at the library, and saw no changes. He could only suppress his embarrassment and said, "Then... can you make this formation work? Even if it cannot be used normally, as long as it can be activated..."

"If I can activate it, I can earn these 500 merits myself..." Chen Jinlin rolled his eyes.

Zhang Xuan scratched his head.

I thought this was the easiest way to earn merits, but now it seems a little hard to do...

Just when I was about to give up, an idea came to my mind.

"The way of heaven is flawed, the way of heaven is orderly, and neither can be used in this situation. What about the natural way of heaven?"

If anything wants to exert its power, it must conform to the laws of nature. The more it conforms to nature, the greater its power will be, and this is especially true for formations.

The arrangement of the battle flags needs to be combined with the terrain and even the surrounding buildings. Now that the Way of Heaven is incomplete and orderly, it cannot be used. Trying the Way of Nature may have a certain effect.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan picked up a formation flag and moved it randomly. As his mind moved, a book in the library really emitted light and slowly fell into his palm.

Just open it casually.

The book marks where to place this formation flag so that it can blend in better with the environment and absorb source energy more easily for use.

"Sure enough..."

Eyes lit up, Zhang Xuan placed the formation flag according to the position marked in the book.

Repeat the same method and place the flags in other corners of the library one by one.

"Without the destiny of the formation, and without understanding the formation, it will be useless no matter how you arrange it... Teacher Zhang, if you really can't do it, we can try another task..."

Seeing that the other party was struggling and probably couldn't come up with anything, Chen Jinlin shook his head and was about to dissuade them when the formation flag in front of him suddenly made a "buzzing" sound and released a warm light.

"Is this... activated?"

With eyes wide open, Chen Jinlin stood there in a daze.

Just waving the flags can activate it... Is that true? If he had known that this mission was so simple, he would have accepted it...

Merits can be exchanged for some resources. Even though he is the fifth elder of Baiyan College, he is not rich...

"It's useless even if it's activated. The formation has been destroyed. If you want to operate it, you need to find the formation's core and inject source energy into it. The formation's core will constantly change with power, time, solar terms, stars and other things. If you don't know much about formations, it's impossible to find it..."

After watching for a while, he saw that the young man, after activating the formation, stood still and did not take any further action. Chen Jinlin could not help but speak, but before he could finish his words, he saw the other party kick a bookshelf.

The bookshelf slid to one side with a "creaky" sound, moved half a meter and then stopped. Elder Chen Jinlin immediately saw the formation that had just been activated, which suddenly flashed a dazzling light and then disappeared.

The next moment, a huge repulsive force immediately appeared on his body, and a bell-like roar exploded in his ears. At the same time, the source energy around him gathered together, as if to grind him into powder.

"Is this... the formation fully operational?"

Pupils contracted, Chen Jinlin knew that this was the result of the array being in operation, and it was a phenomenon that caused the rejection of strangers. He did not dare to say anything and hurriedly took out the reference certificate from his pocket. The certificate appeared, the roaring sound disappeared, and the array slowly stopped.

Gasping for breath, Chen Jinlin looked at the young man not far away again, full of disbelief.

Just like other professions, formations must first be recognized by Heaven before they can be practiced. This young man didn't even know the name of the formation, and it was obvious that he had never been to Heaven... In that case, how did he repair it and make it work?
"Have I succeeded?" Zhang Xuan looked over with a smile.

"Of course!" Chen Jinlin nodded quickly.

"How... did you do that?" He couldn't help but look over there out of curiosity.

"I am quite sensitive to the source of energy. I felt that the positions of these flags had caused some confusion in the energy, so I made some adjustments. I didn't expect that it would actually be restored..."

Zhang Xuan explained.

The way of nature is to let everything return to nature and go with the flow. Although what he said is strange, it is the best explanation.

To say that he has the ability to set up formations would be suspicious.

"Can this still happen?"

Chen Jinlin opened his mouth in surprise. The world of genius was indeed different from that of ordinary people.

Just like a top student, when he encounters a question he doesn’t know how to answer, he can just guess the answer randomly, and the probability of getting it right is much higher than that of a poor student.

"This mission is worth exactly 500 merits. I should be considered to have passed the elders' assessment now, right?" Zhang Xuan asked, not wanting to discuss this issue further.

"Of course!"

Chen Jinlin nodded, "Wait here for a moment, I will get you the elder's order now..."

After saying that, Elder Chen hurried out, and not long after, he came back with a token and handed it over.

Zhang Xuan took it.

It is somewhat similar to the Chen family's guest elder's order, and the size is the same, but the words "Elder of Baiyan College" are written on the front.

"Thank you!"

Holding the token in his palm, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and walked towards the third floor of the library. With this thing, the formation was no longer a barrier and he entered smoothly to find the cultivation method of the Jade Bone Realm.

……

While Zhang Xuan was collecting the techniques for the Jade Bone Realm, Lu Mingrong, Wu Yunzhou and the others also came to the Elder Hall and looked at Chen Jinlin who had just returned.

"I heard... Teacher Zhang wants to test the elders. How is it? Could it be that his cultivation has really reached the internal organs realm?"

Wu Yunzhou couldn't help but ask.

Four days ago at the City Lord's Mansion, he personally checked on the other party and found that there was not a single trace of true qi in his body, and even the source pool was not activated. After just a few days of not seeing him...you told me that he has reached the sixth level of the source pool and can take the assessment of the elder? Is this true?
"Yes, not only has he reached the Viscera Realm, but he has also reached the peak of the Viscera Realm, possessing a strength of 60 horsepower!"

Chen Jinlin explained.

"This is real……"

"You can practice so fast? How do you do it?"

After hearing his confirmation, everyone was stunned, even Lu Mingrong was speechless.

The most talented person they had seen before was Yu Longqing, the best in the past century. Even for him, it took him five years to advance from the Power Accumulation Realm to the peak of the Viscera Realm, while the other party only took a few days...

"It's not enough to become an elder just by practicing. You also need merits. What about the others? Did they accept the mission?"

After being shocked, everyone looked around and saw no trace of the other party, so Ran Qingxu asked.

Chen Jinlin said: "I did accept the mission, but I completed it. Now I am the seventeenth elder of our academy."

"What mission?" Su Qiao was stunned.

From the time he knew that the other party was going to test the elders to the time he brought the dean and others here, it took no more than a quarter of an hour... He completed the task and earned 500 merits?

Chen Jinlin said: "Repair the formation of your library..."

"The library?"

Su Qiao's mind exploded, and without caring about any more nonsense, he turned around and rushed towards the library. Not long after, he returned to the crowd with his eyes wide open, as if they would fall out of their sockets at any moment.

"How is it?" Lu Mingrong looked over.

"Not only has the library's formation been successfully repaired, it also seems... to be much more powerful than before! Even someone as powerful as me can't force their way in..."

Su Qiao swallowed.

The previous formations could also prevent students from entering without a permit, but they were only effective for those below the Internal Organs Realm. For someone of his strength, the most they could do was give him a warning, and they couldn't drive him away. But now, if he didn't have a reference permit, he would be wiped out directly!

"This……"

Lu Mingrong and the others looked at each other in disbelief. Some of them also hurried over. After a short while, they returned one after another. The silence in the room was so deep that you could hear a pin drop.

Horse training, cultivation, teaching... all of them are extraordinary, and now there is a formation. How many surprises does this teacher Zhang have waiting for them?

"Dean..."

Just then, a teacher came over in a hurry. It was Zhou Xu who ran to the dean's courtyard and called him during the source pool evaluation.

Lu Mingrong frowned: "Teacher Zhou Xu, you are not hosting the competition in the martial arts arena, what are you doing here?"

Teacher Zhou Xu quickly bowed and clasped his fists, explaining, "Dean, your student Mo Yanxue was drawn together with Hong Yi!"

After recalling for a moment, Lu Mingrong said, "I remember correctly. His talent is very weak, and his source pool is rated as Grade Nine. Although he ignited the ultimate furnace with the help of Teacher Zhang, his foundation is poor and he has no background. With insufficient resources, he should not make much progress in just three days!"

"As for Mo Yanxue, he has the support of the Mo family behind him. As far as I know, he got the spiritual medicine [Golden Source Jade Liquid] of the power accumulation realm yesterday, and his strength has increased by leaps and bounds. The two are not at the same level at all. Even if he wins, it won't be a glorious thing!"

Teacher Zhou Xu was embarrassed: "Lost!"

"???"

Lu Mingrong stood there in a daze.
