The old man paused for a moment as his eyes lit up. He looked Qin Fen up and down before continuing. "Of course, the main reason why I'm not killing you is because of your identity as a Tribulation Taker."
Qin Fen was shocked. "Senior, you can tell I'm a Tribulation Taker?"
The old man laughed. "Haha! Any cultivator who triggers a Lightning Tribulation is a Tribulation Taker chosen by the Heavenly Axiom. Most of these people are killed by the Lightning Tribulation, but those who survive the Lightning Tribulation will definitely become an Ultimate God. "
Qin Fen first learned that he was a Tribulation Taker from Barefoot Immortal Yun Ding. He did not believe it at first, but he had begun to accept it after experiencing various things over the years.
"May I know your name, Senior?" Qin Fen asked with a fist salute.
"Sigh! It's been so many years since anyone asked for my name. I've almost forgotten it myself … "The old man looked up to the sky and sighed. After thinking for a long time, he said with uncertainty," It should be He Xuhen. "
Qin Fen was speechless. He had almost forgotten his own name. How many years had this old man lived?
"Senior He, I've heard a senior talk about the thousand-year calamity. According to him, every time a calamity comes, a Tribulation Taker will appear. Moreover, there will be more than one Tribulation Taker. Is this true?" Qin Fen wanted to confirm.
He Xuhen nodded and said, "Yes! That's what the ancient books said. "
"Then how can I find other Tribulation Takers?"
Qin Fen felt insignificant ever since he met He Xuhen. He believed that the Millennium Tribulation would be devastating and he felt powerless to face it alone.
"The Heavenly Axiom has its own arrangements." He Xuhen's answer made Qin Fen want to bite someone.
"Senior, can you help me face the tribulation? After all, this is a tribulation for all human cultivators in the Divine Continent. If you fail to face the tribulation, won't you die? "Qin Fen deliberately emphasized the seriousness of the problem.
He Xuhen chuckled. "Heh! There's no need for you to play tricks in front of me, you little brat. I've eaten more pills than you've eaten air … Only you Tribulation Takers can deal with the thousand-year tribulation. It's useless even if others participate. Besides, I still have a big grudge to settle, so I don't have the time to fool around with you. "
Qin Fen knew he could no longer hold onto his backer as he had no right to speak in front of a Peak Ultimate God.
"Since Senior He doesn't care about the lives of hundreds of millions of cultivators on the Ultimate God Continent, I can only respect your personal choice. However, you should at least leave me some treasures so that I, the Tribulation Taker, can protect myself?" Qin Fen said seriously.
Hei Xuhen was amused. "You ant, your abilities are mediocre, but your eloquence can be said to be unparalleled in the world. Who said this old man didn't give you anything? I don't think I need to emphasize how precious the Creation of Heaven and Earth Art is, right? "
"What's the point of just having a cultivation technique? How can I break through without the help of Immortal Stones? "Qin Fen muttered to himself.
He Xuhen scolded, "You have the nerve to say that? You used 20 of the 108 Immortal Stones in the Immortal Stone Formation. You're just a Cauldron Filling Realm ant, yet you used Immortal Stones to break through to the Disaster Transformation Realm. You're wasting God's gift."
Qin Fen had stepped into the Disaster Transformation Realm and his cultivation level was comparable to an early-stage Truth Form Realm mighty figure. Not long ago, he had seriously injured Ouyang Tian with a single slash. At this moment, hearing He Xu Hen call him an ant, it made him very unhappy.
"I used 20 Immortal Stones to break through from Cauldron Filling Realm Level One to Disaster Transformation Realm. Is that considered a waste?" Qin Fen complained.
"Hmph! Immortal Stones are scarce on the Divine Continent. They're only worthwhile if they're used to ascend to immortality. Anything else is a waste. "
He Xuhen paused for a moment before continuing, "Don't think about Immortal Stones now. I won't give them to you. Moreover, it's not the time to think about other things. You should find a way to solve the West Sea Continent's crisis."
Qin Fen's expression changed. "The West Sea Continent's crisis? Why do you say that, Senior? "
"The Immortal Stone Formation is an ancient formation used to seal a realm. Once it's formed, it will gradually disturb the magnetic field above the realm. If the formation is destroyed, the magnetic field above the realm will become chaotic, forming a distorted space," He Xuhen said.
Qin Fen immediately thought of the collapsed space above the Purple Cloud Mountain Range in the North Sand Continent. He Xuhen seemed to read his mind and continued, "The sky above the Purple Cloud Mountain Range is an example. Plus, the Immortal Stone Formation in the Bai Ling Mountain cave abode only damaged the compass and there was a huge crack in the sky. Now that you've destroyed the entire Immortal Stone Formation in Demon Mountain Number One, you can imagine that the sky outside is probably full of holes."
Qin Fen didn't dare to think about it. If what He Xuhen said was true, wouldn't the West Sea Continent become hell?
Who dared to stay here? They would be sucked away by the black hole if they weren't careful. The Spirit Qi would be slowly sucked away by the black hole. The Spirit Qi would completely disappear from the West Sea Continent after it was sucked away.
"What was the situation like outside when Senior came?" Qin Fen immediately asked.
He Xuhen said indifferently, "It's okay now. There's a crack in the sky about ten miles away. It's not big, only a few dozen meters in diameter."
"…" Qin Fen rolled his eyes.
"Why didn't I take the Immortal Stone with me when I left Bai Ling Mountain? That's the reason. No matter how greedy and immoral I am, I wouldn't harm a continent's cultivators for my own benefit. Look at you, you're crazy! "He Xuhen said.
"…"
Qin Fen wanted to rush up and bite He Xuhen to death. He didn't know that the consequences would be so severe. Otherwise, he wouldn't have destroyed the Immortal Stone Formation. Plus, the Immortal Stone was in He Xuhen's hands now. This old man really didn't care.
"Stop talking nonsense. Is there a way to dissolve the crack?" Qin Fen was angry.
He Xuhen didn't get angry. He said seriously, "There's only one way. Find the next location of the Immortal Stone Formation."
Qin Fen didn't understand, "Next location?"
"That's right." He Xuhen said, "Maybe you don't know about the Immortal Stone Formation. There's only one formation."
Qin Fen immediately interrupted, "How is that possible? I clearly found a Immortal Stone Formation in the North Sand Continent and the West Sea Continent."
"The Immortal Stone Formation you see here is the one you saw in the Bai Ling Mountain cave." He Xuhen explained, "Actually, there's only one Immortal Stone Formation. But every time it's attacked or damaged, it will move. There's a pattern to the location of the formation. As long as you're an expert in formations, you can calculate the location of the next formation."
Qin Fen was in disbelief. He was a Level Eight Formation Immortal now, but this was the first time he heard that a formation could move on its own. And the distance it could move to was between the North Sand Continent and the West Sea Continent.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Qin Feng realized that there was no need to hate in terms of time. Back then, there was a crack in the sky above the Violet Cloud Mountains, but it disappeared afterward. This was most likely because the Great Immortal Stone Formation had moved to the West Sea Continent.
But Qin Fen didn't understand. If the Immortal Stone Formation could move on its own when it was damaged, and it could repair itself, then why would the Spirit Marrow Pond and the Phoenix Flower appear every time it moved? And if the formation could repair itself, then wouldn't the crack in the sky disappear after some time?
Qin Fen did not need to ask these questions as He Xuhen had already started to answer them. "According to my personal speculation, the force that set up the Celestial Stone Formation had already thought of a follow-up plan. They had set up many formation bases on the Divine Supreme Continent. Once one of the bases was damaged, the Celestial Stone Formation would automatically move to a new base …"
"As for the crack in the sky, once the Immortal Stone Formation starts operating again, it will slowly disappear. But this time, you broke the Immortal Stone Compass, so it will take a long time for the formation to recover. So, you need to find the next base of the Immortal Stone Formation as soon as possible and repair it."
Qin Fen had a new understanding of the Immortal Stone Formation. He also learned about the East Field Continent's Kobe Clan's secret from Chu Fan's letter. He believed that the Immortal Stone Formation was set up by the Kobe Clan.
No matter what the truth was, it wasn't important now. Qin Fen's priority now was to find the Immortal Stone Formation's new base and solve the crisis of the West Sea Continent's crack.
"Senior He, with my current formation skills, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the next base of the Immortal Stone Formation. Please help me."
Qin Fen knew He Xuhen knew that since he could tell him the secret of the Immortal Stone Formation, he must have a way to find the new base.
He Xuhen sighed, "Sigh! This old man owes you. Even I will have a hard time finding the next base, but I can try my best. "
Qin Fen cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior He. Once I fix the Immortal Stone Formation, you will be the benefactor of the West Sea Continent's cultivators."
"Ha! Don't talk nonsense with me. Even if I become the world's savior, what's the use? Do you think I want the worship of those ants? They are useless to me. "He Xuhen said nonchalantly.
Qin Fen knew that he wasn't being arrogant, but a pride that came from his heart. This pride came from his unfathomable realm. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the West Sea Continent's cultivators were ants in his eyes.
"Help me protect me. Deducing the Immortal Stone Formation is very tiring. I can't be distracted."
After saying a few words, He Xuhen sat down cross-legged. He took out a few formation flags and threw them in front of him. Then he scattered a few Immortal Stones. The formation flags were arranged in a strange way that even Qin Fen couldn't understand.
Although there were only 18 formation flags, they were not fixed. The 18 formation flags were constantly changing their positions, forming different formations in the void. Qin Fen was just watching from the side, but he had unknowingly gained a lot of new insights into formations.
Time flew by.
A month later, He Xuhen suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "I found the new base. It's near Quicksand River."
