Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 184 I'm Going to Make Big News

After Wu Tao finished his speech, the venue fell silent.

All the array masters were immersed in an indescribable excitement.

Even the three array masters of the Qingyun Sect were the same.

Although Bai Muyun had long known of Wu Tao's genius, he never expected him to be this talented, and to cause such a big incident at the Array Formation Conference.

After a long while, Chang Xin was the first to stand up from his seat. He took a few steps forward, came to Wu Tao, and bowed respectfully, saying, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening. From now on, I have no regrets."

"I sincerely invite young friend Wu Tao to stay at the Immortal Forest Sect. I am willing to become your apprentice."

Bai Muyun trembled and hurriedly said, "Elder Chang, Wu Tao is a disciple of the Qingyun Sect's Array Court. How can you openly snatch him?"

Chang Xin said seriously, "Mu Yun, we are old acquaintances. I admire your mastery of formations, but you should also admit that your Qingyun Sect's research on formations is still a notch below that of the Xianlin Sect."

"Sending young friend Wu Tao to the Immortal Forest Sect will make it easier for him to display his talents."

"This is not a private matter for one sect or faction, but a public matter concerning the development of the entire field of formations. You must not obstruct it because of sectarian prejudice."

Bai Muyun said, "Elder Chang, you are mistaken. Although our Qingyun Sect's array research is slightly inferior to that of the Xianlin Sect, it has its own strengths. Moreover, our Qingyun Sect Array Academy will definitely give its full support to Wu Tao."

Chang Xin scoffed, "How can you say you're fully supportive? I'm willing to treat you with the respect due to a disciple. Do you think you can offer more support than I do?"

That old guy…

Bai Muyun was furious, but he also understood that after today's speech got out, Wu Tao's reputation would no longer be that of an ordinary disciple.

He will become an unparalleled figure in the world of array formations. If the Qingyun Sect's Array Academy doesn't offer him certain benefits, he might be poached by other sects.

Bai Muyun smiled and said, "Elder Chang, you may not know this, but Wu Tao is now an elder of my Array Court. Moreover, I am about to ask the Sect Master for permission to make the Array Court operate independently. In the future, the Array Court will nominally belong to the Qimen Hall, but in reality, the elders of the Array Court will have absolute authority over the Array Court, and no one else can interfere."

"Therefore, the elders of the Array Court are nominally elders, but in reality, they are no different from the heads of the Array Court."

"Wu Tao is so highly regarded in our Qingyun Sect, isn't that enough support?"

Chang Xin shook her head regretfully and returned to her seat.

Wu Tao was already sitting up there.

What's going on? Am I going to become an elder of the Array Court?

Moreover, he is an elder who is not subject to the control of the head and whose word is law.
This rise in status is far too rapid.

Is the content of his speech today really that important?

In fact, he couldn't understand the content of the speech at all; he was just imitating Zhou Qing's tone in his mind and saying the words.

……

Gee tut.

Wu Tao is practically the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment novel.

The old man was actually myself.

Zhou Qing shook his head with amusement.

Mu Zhuosha looked at him strangely and said, "Judging from the reaction over there, the content of your speech today seems to be very important."

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "It's very important... perhaps more important than all the previous documents in the field of formations."

Mu Zhuosha said, "Such important information was revealed by Wu Tao. Aren't you afraid he'll keep it for himself and betray you?"

Zhou Qing said, "We are old friends, he will not abandon me."

Mu Zhuosha rolled her eyes at him and said, "To be honest, why are you putting on this kind of face with me?"

Zhou Qing's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "Uncle-Master, you're judging a gentleman by your own petty standards."

"I'm not just putting on airs. When people interact, they naturally hope for a good beginning and a good end, without letting each other down. So I don't presume that he will betray me."

"However, if such a thing really happens, it's very easy to retaliate." "His position depends entirely on my support; without my support, he cannot maintain his high position for even a day."

"In this situation, talking about betrayal is ridiculous. He may have had such thoughts, but unless he's completely out of his mind, he wouldn't do it."

Of course, there is another very important point: the content he revealed through Wu Tao was merely a starting point for his Dao of Formations, and he wouldn't care if it were stolen.

……

That evening, Wu Tao went to Zhou Qing's house again.

His expression was a mixture of excitement and unease.

Wu Tao said, "Just now, the sect leader took me to see the sect master and asked him to grant the Array Academy independent privileges and appoint me as the unique elder of the Array Academy."

Zhou Qing asked, "Has the Sect Leader agreed?"

Wu Tao nodded and said, "The sect leader said that Qimen Hall has always handled its internal affairs in its own way. If the sect leader thinks it is appropriate, then it can be done in this way."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Then congratulations, Brother Wu."

Wu Tao smiled wryly and said, "What's there to congratulate me on? For some reason, I feel a little uneasy."

Zhou Qing looked at him with satisfaction and said, "This shows that you haven't completely lost your mind."

“Without the strength to support you, the higher you rise, the harder you fall. Brother Wu, you are extremely glorious now, but you are also extremely dangerous.”

Wu Tao said, "How could I not know? Without Brother Zhou's support, I would not be able to live in peace for even a day. Now I have reached a position that even I am afraid of, but I cannot retreat. I ask Brother Zhou to give me some guidance."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "If you can think this way, then our friendship has not been in vain."

"I have a way to ensure your safe arrival and eternal wealth, but I'm afraid you'll be reluctant to give up some things."

"You might as well go back and think it over carefully, and give me an answer before the formation competition ends."

He then explained his solution.

Wu Tao was stunned and remained silent for a long time.

Zhou Qing knew he was having a hard time making a decision, so she didn't pressure him.

Next, Wu Tao handed over the runes that had been shared that day to him.

As agreed upon at the conference, each sect would contribute one hundred runes to share with other sects after each day's speeches.

The six sects have a total of six hundred coins. Subtracting the one hundred from the Qingyun Sect, there are still five hundred left.

Zhou Qing was overjoyed to suddenly receive so many new runes and immediately began studying them.

He wrote these runes one by one onto the golden monkey skin and used magnetic field induction to determine their frequency.

To his delight, two of these runes were needed for the anti-Qing and restoration of Ming formation.

That leaves only one rune.

The conference is still two days away, and he will receive another thousand new runes then.

Zhou Qing had a premonition that his authentic anti-Qing and restoration of Ming strategy could finally take shape.

Then he can launch the genuine array in his own shop and deliver a fatal blow to the opposing affiliated families.

The conference continued on the second day.

However, the conference proceedings have changed.

The original agenda for the conference was for each participant to share their insights on formations. However, after yesterday's presentation, Wu Tao's theory of fluctuations immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Thus, the lectures gradually turned into Wu Tao's solo teaching.
