The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 193: Divine Light Shines on the Spiritual Treasure, Jade Soul Reflects the Heart
"Lord Holy Son, what's wrong with you?" A voice suddenly came from behind, as gentle as a spring breeze blowing across the apricot buds.

"Nothing, Senior Sister, I just thought of something."

While flipping through the "Explanation of Guiyuan Formation", Lingbao didn't even turn his head. He was already familiar with the identity of the visitor and was not on guard at all.

The next moment, a fragrant breeze blew, and it seemed as if something was about to touch my back, as if I had already felt that softness.

"..."

Lingbao's whole body suddenly tensed up and his facial expression became a little stiff.

As if sensing his embarrassment, the person behind him smiled lightly, hair flying, and said, "Haha, Master Saint, you are still so cute."

"Stop it, Senior Sister Xinyao, just call me Lingbao. The title of Holy Son is too offensive."

Lingbao turned around helplessly and saw a charming and beautiful woman standing behind him, with eyes as clear as water and a sweet smile.

Xu Xinyao, another direct disciple of Wu Zhengfeng, entered the sect two years earlier than Lingbao and his cultivation had reached the ninth level of dragon transformation.

Seeing Lingbao turning around, Xu Xinyao retracted her tender hand and gently poked his forehead again.

"Other brothers dream of becoming the Saint Son of the sect, but you, on the other hand, despise it. You don't want to be the Saint Son, so can you give up this position to me? Call me Saint Lady from now on."

"That's great, Lady Saint. I will mention this matter to the Sect Master later." Ling Bao responded with a smile.

"Stupid, why did you take it seriously?"

Hearing this, Xu Xinyao gritted her teeth and grabbed Ling Bao's ears, "Guijian Sect can only have one Holy Son. Apart from you, I won't recognize anyone else, not even myself."

"Senior Sister, let go!" Lingbao pinched the other person's nose subconsciously.

At this moment, if the other disciples of Guijianmen saw this scene, they would definitely be stunned.

Xu Xinyao, Lingbao,
He is the only direct disciple of the Dharma Elder Wu Zhengfeng, and his talent in cultivation surpasses all his peers in the history of Guijianmen.

Needless to say, the former would be a perfect candidate for a saint woman in other sects, and would even be as good as the core disciples of those holy lands.

However, the latter is even more exaggerated. In just five years, he cultivated from a mortal to the peak of the second level of the Immortal Stage and is about to touch the threshold of the third level of the Immortal Stage.

This speed has never been heard of in the history of cultivation in the entire Tongtian Ancient Star Domain, let alone Guijian Sect. Even compared with the legendary Chaos Tianzun, it is not much different.

The leader of Guijian Sect had expressed his feelings more than once at high-level meetings that with the spiritual treasure, Guijian Sect was destined to prosper. If it were not for the deliberate protection of him, he would have been established as the Son of God and announced to the public long ago.

However, these two peerless geniuses whose status is comparable to that of sect elders and the future helmsmen of Guijian Sect are now close to each other in a rather ambiguous posture, which is very different from their usual image and is simply jaw-dropping.

"Idiot, let go!"

As if she had sensed something strange, Xu Xinyao's face flushed and felt hot.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Senior Sister Xinyao."

Lingbao realized it later and quickly let go of his hand.

As the candlelight flickered, her sleeve brushed past the back of his hand, leaving only a faint fragrance in the air.

After a while,
Xu Xinyao's eyes dodged, and she said nonchalantly, "Junior Brother Lingbao, are you reading the explanation of the Guiyuan Formation?"

"Yes!" Lingbao nodded. "The Solution to the Guiyuan Formation" was left by the founder of Guijian Sect, a true inheritance of the Great Sage. But there was one thing that was special. It was not a cultivation scripture, but focused on the formation. One needed to have extremely high attainments or extraordinary talent in this lineage, otherwise, one could not even enter the sect.

Seeing Lingbao admit it, Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes lit up.

"As expected of you, Junior Brother Lingbao, you can even understand the most difficult solution to the Guiyuan Formation. This thing has been in the Sutra Repository for more than 100,000 years, and you are the first one to do it. Master believes that you can reach the Great Sage realm in the future. To me, that is too conservative. Great Sage is far from your destination. You must at least be a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable."

"Senior sister, you think too highly of me."

Ling Bao raised the "Explanation of the Return to Origin Formation" in his hand and sighed, "The art of formation is vast and boundless, and the "Explanation of the Return to Origin Formation" is far from representing the highest level. What's more, this is only the first volume, and the second volume was taken into the coffin by the ancestor and buried with him in reincarnation."

"It's okay. In my eyes, Junior Brother is the most powerful. Even if he is incomplete, he can still reach the top of the formation. Besides, Master and the Sect Master have already entered the forbidden area in the back mountain. Maybe they can bring out the second volume of the Guiyuan Formation Solution?"

Xu Xinyao's face flushed and she smiled charmingly.

At this moment, the shark gauze lanterns next to it seemed to be dancing and swaying.

Formations, alchemy, geomancy... These fields are relatively niche and require cultivators to devote more energy to study. If they cannot master the balance, it may affect their own cultivation progress.

Therefore, Wu Zhengfeng, as an elder who teaches the Dharma, actually did not support Ling Bao's study of the formation in his heart. However, he did not interfere directly, but only hinted at it in a more obscure way.

Now that he had received support from Xu Xinyao, Lingbao suddenly felt warm in his heart.

"Thank you, senior sister."

"Junior brother, don't be in a hurry to thank me. I want to ask you, have you gained any insights from the solution to the Guiyuan Formation?" Xu Xinyao said cunningly.

"Are you enlightened?"

Ling Bao's eyes narrowed, and then he said seriously, "Senior Sister, the rumors may be true."

"Rumors? You mean..."

Hearing this, Xu Xinyao paused. The first thing she thought of was a secret story that had been passed down through the generations in Guijian Sect.

Back then, the first ancestor once vied for supremacy with Chaos Tianzun, but was easily defeated by the other party. He was no match for him in terms of both physical strength and magical powers. As a result, his invincible heart was shattered, and he returned to his hometown, Tongtian Ancient Star Field, and lived a muddle-headed life from then on.

Before his death, he suddenly passed down a volume of "Explanation of Guiyuan Formation". Over the past 120,000 years, countless disciples have tried to comprehend it, but in the end, they gained nothing.

This was the root cause of Guijian Sect's decline. As a great sage Taoist sect, it did not have corresponding scriptures for practice. By the time of Wuliang Tianzun, it missed the Taoist preaching for some reason.

"The founder was not as decadent in his later years as rumored. He should have wanted to challenge Chaos Tianzun, but the existing methods showed no hope, so he had to find another way. The explanation of Guiyuan Formation is proof of this. The various formations recorded in it hide a lot of information." Lingbao said seriously.

At this moment, faint golden veins appeared in his eyes, looking extraordinary and gorgeous.

"Is that so?"

Xu Xinyao stared at it infatuatedly, she didn't know that it was the projection of the mountain protection formation that had been silent underground in Guijianmen for tens of thousands of years.

Rumble!
The ground suddenly shook violently, and the jade slips on the bookshelf fell to the ground, interrupting their conversation.

Lingbao immediately flashed to the window and saw a bloody light rising from the direction of the forbidden area in the back mountain.

The jade pendant hanging around his waist, which represented his status as the Holy Son, also became scorching hot, emitting a mournful whine like a torn silk cloth. Only the hoarse voice of the sect master could be heard exploding in the night sky: "The corpse of the Guiyuan Patriarch has turned into a corpse. All elders must quickly gather in the Nine Palaces and activate the sect protection formation."
