"Of course, I'm fine!"
Zhang Xuan replied with a chuckle.
On his way here, he had taken a bath and changed his clothes. Even though he wasn't injured in the battle earlier, he had sweated quite a bit, causing his clothes to become sticky and uncomfortable.
He had always been a person who preferred cleanliness.
It took a long while before the crowd was able to digest the fact that the young man before them had killed a god. They turned to look at the young man once more with awe and respect in their eyes.
To be able to kill such a powerful expert without sustaining any injuries, and to even have the time to bathe and change his clothes … This was way too formidable!
"Zhang Shi, I know that you have a deep understanding of formations, but can you help us repair the seal?"
Ancient Sage Yan Qing asked awkwardly.
Given their current strength, it would have been difficult for them to repair the seal, but the young man before them might just be able to do it.
It was just that … the other party was an outsider, and they weren't on good terms with him. Not only did he appear to help them resolve this huge problem, he even had to ask for their help.
"Alright, but do you have the blueprint of the formation and the method to repair it?" Zhang Xuan asked.
This was the first time he had seen such a formation. Using Ancient Sage Zi Yuan's corpse as the core of the formation to seal the passageway to another world, it was far more complicated than any formation he had seen before.
Even he wouldn't have been able to set it up so easily without looking at the blueprint.
"Yes, we do. This contains the structure of the formation and the notes left behind by our predecessors."
Ancient Sage Yan Qing passed a jade token over.
Taking the jade token, Zhang Xuan swiftly scanned through it with his consciousness and imprinted its contents into the Library of Heaven's Path.
It didn't take long for him to familiarize himself with the formation.
This formation was known as the Great Heaven Mending Coffin Formation, and it was said to have been created by Kong Shi himself. It was used to seal off weak spatial passageways, and once it was successfully completed, even Dimension Shatterer realm cultivators would find it difficult to breach it.
"He's learning the formation on the spot and attempting to repair it? Could it be that … his talent in learning supporting occupations is the same as mine, where he can pick up and master it in a moment? "
Seeing that he wanted to see the formation diagram, Kong Shiyao was filled with doubt.
She possessed the purest bloodline of Kong Shi's descendants, so she was able to master any supporting occupations and battle techniques in an instant. There was no need for her to waste too much time.
Considering how the young man before him had never come into contact with a formation before, could it be that he possessed the same talent as him?
"However, even with his talent, he would still need at least two to three days to learn such a complex formation. Is there enough time?"
Kong Shiyao was a little worried as she watched the mercury-like energy continuously pour into her body.
Since the other party was a Celestial Master Teacher, it was not too surprising for him to possess the same capability as her. However, the blueprint was simply too complicated. It had taken her three days to fully comprehend it. Even if the other party was around the same level as her, even if he were to study it twice as fast, he would still not be able to finish it in a day and a half!
The mercury-like energy gushed forth like a torrential flood, submerging a third of the Kunxu Domain in a day's time. By then, all of the crops would die, and the spiritual energy in the surroundings would undergo a drastic change. The foundation that the Hundred Schools of Philosophers had built over tens of thousands of years would be completely destroyed.
At that time, even if he could seal it, it would be useless!
Not to mention, he had only finished learning it. Whether or not he would be able to seal it was still uncertain.
Kong Shiyao turned to look at Zhang Xuan worriedly, only to see that he had already returned the jade token to her. With a confident smile on his face, he said, "Alright, I have already grasped the blueprint. Everyone, please take a step back!"
Kong Shiyao blinked in shock.
In less than three breaths, he had already grasped the blueprint?
Before Kong Shiyao's disbelieving eyes, the other party began to move. Spreading open his fingers, he channeled all of his strength into a powerful surge that surged into the sky, forming a rainbow bridge. Standing at the very center of the rainbow bridge, Zhang Xuan looked like a deity.
Slowly moving upward, Zhang Xuan moved the rainbow bridges with his finger. It was as if a demonic tunist was playing a moving melody, producing a sound reminiscent of the whistling of the wind. Just by looking at it and listening to it, one would find themselves involuntarily intoxicated.
"This is … the Voice of the Heavens?"
Kong Shiyao trembled in shock.
It was said that no matter what occupation one was in, as long as one was able to harmonize with the heavens, one would be able to produce the Voice of the Heavens. Yet, the young man before her had already grasped the blueprint within three breaths.
Was she really that lacking compared to the young man before her?
She was a descendant of the Kong Shi Bloodline!
Feeling indignant, he continued watching, only to see Zhang Xuan's fingers moving faster and faster. It didn't take long for an afterimage to appear in the air. The Rainbow Bridge was intertwined with one another, and it danced in the air according to a unique sequence.
"Isn't he afraid of making a mistake?"
Kong Shiyao felt a chill running down her spine.
Given how powerful the formation was, even if the other party had managed to grasp it, he should have gathered everyone's help to create a prototype of the formation so as to fend off the mercury-like energy before slowly patching it up. That would have taken at least a month …
However, the other party's hand speed was so fast that she couldn't even see it. If she were to make a mistake, not only would her efforts go to waste, she would also suffer a severe backlash.
She waited for a few more breaths, but not only did the other party's hand speed not slow down, it even seemed to be accelerating. Unable to hold herself back any longer, Kong Shiyao flicked her wrist, and a mirror appeared in her hand.
She took a look at the mirror, the Blackheaven Mirror. This was the artifact of her clan, and it was capable of gauging the strength of a formation to determine if there were any errors. If there were errors, the mirror would turn black.
Weng weng weng!
As soon as she shone the mirror, the mirror immediately began to glow, and lines of words swiftly appeared on it.
Correct!
Correct!
Correct …
Soon, the Blackheaven Mirror in her hand was filled with the words' Correct '. There were so many words that it felt as if it had turned into the sun, illuminating the surroundings with a blinding radiance.
"This …"
Kong Shiyao's lips twitched as she began to doubt her own existence.
It was not that she had never seen a genius before. In fact, she was one of the top geniuses in the world herself. But … to be able to grasp a formation with just a glance and set it up so quickly without any errors … Was he still human?
Hu!
But before she could recover from her shock, the young man in the sky suddenly retracted his fingers and came to a halt.
With his hands behind his back, he gazed at the sky calmly, not moving at all.
"What's wrong? This formation mustn't be interrupted, or else … we'll have to start all over again! "
Kong Shiyao's heart clenched tightly as she exclaimed.
Not only was the formation complicated, it couldn't be interrupted in the middle either. The moment it was interrupted, the mercury-like energy would destroy all of the previous formations, thus ruining all of their hard work.
This was similar to building a dam. Before the dam was fully completed, it was impossible to allow the water to flow through. Otherwise, no matter how many formations were constructed, it would be useless.
"It's not interrupted …"
Hearing Kong Shiyao's words, Zhang Xuan turned around and replied with a smile, "It's already done!"
"Done?"
Kong Shiyao was perplexed.
Ancient Sage Zi Yuan's corpse was still lying on the ground, and the mercury-like energy was still flowing through it. How could it possibly be done?
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he turned his gaze to the sky once more. "Activate the formation!"
Hong long!
The coffin before Kong Shiyao abruptly vanished into thin air, and the trembling space around her swiftly stabilized, as if nothing had happened at all.
The formation had actually been fully activated with just a single word from Zhang Xuan!
"Words of Law … Kong Shi's bloodline?"
Kong Shiyao widened her eyes in astonishment.
