"Why are you here?"
Looking at the lady before him, Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless.
After accepting her as his direct disciple, he had settled most of the affairs in Tianwu Kingdom. Thus, he summoned the Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast and left immediately.
Liu Shi and Lu Xun knew that with their capabilities, they would be able to improve faster under the care of the royal family and Mingshi Tang in Tianwu Kingdom. However, now that they were in the League of Nations, they wouldn't even know what was going on. Thus, they chose to stay behind.
Only Sun Qiang insisted on following behind Yang shi. Fearing that his identity would be exposed, Zhang Xuan could only bring him along.
It had been ten days since he arrived at Tianwu Royal City. His cultivation had risen from Tongxuan realm pinnacle to Zongshi realm pinnacle, and his physical body possessed the strength of a Zhizun realm primary stage cultivator.
Lu Chong had also joined his student group.
As for his unique occupation, he had passed the 2-star master teacher examination, and a 3-star painter emblem had been sent over yesterday.
Due to his insufficient cultivation, the physician and apothecary were unable to be matched with higher rank emblems. Even so, he still received two 3-star emblems.
Thus, his occupations became: 2-star master teacher, 3-star apothecary, 3-star physician, 3-star painter, and 2-star beast tamer.
His harvest was bountiful.
An honor that others would never be able to achieve in their entire lives was obtained within ten days, leaving countless people in awe and admiration.
"I also want to watch the Master Teacher Tournament of the League of Nations. It can't be that you don't want to bring me along?" Mo Yu glared at the young man before her angrily.
What kind of person was he!
Even if they couldn't develop a deeper relationship, they should at least be friends!
It was one thing for him not to inform her that he was going to the League of Nations to participate in the Master Teacher Tournament.
But to turn around and leave without even informing her, wasn't that a little too much!
It was fortunate that she was prepared in advance and rode on the Viridescent Eagle. Otherwise, she would have long disappeared.
(Mo Yu is a master teacher, so it isn't difficult for her to find out about the Master Teacher Tournament and the matters regarding Su shi and the others.)
"Alright, I'll bring you along..."
Zhang Xuan sighed helplessly.
In any case, the room on the back of the Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast was big enough to accommodate the six students, Sun Qiang, and Mo Yu.
Paying no heed to the fuming Mo Yu, Zhang Xuan stood by the window and gazed out. The white clouds were intertwined together, forming a boundless snowfield with lush mountain ranges embedded in it. It was a vast and refreshing sight to behold.
"Teacher …"
Lu Chong walked up to Zhang Xuan and said, "Back then, in order to prevent the unfilial descendants from falling into the hands of others, our ancestor left it in his old residence in the Tianwu Mountain Range. I only heard my father mention it casually. I know the general area, but I'm not too sure where it is exactly! "
"Let's look around!"
This was the root of the calamity that befell the Lu Chong Clan. Naturally, it would be best if they could find him.
"Teacher, it should be around here!"
Half a day later, Lu Chong pointed.
"The range is so big, where can I find it?"
Dismounting from the back of the Howling Firmament Beast, Zhao Ya surveyed her surroundings and couldn't help but ask.
In front of them was a massive valley. The surrounding mountains rose and fell endlessly, and lush greenery covered the entire area. Putting aside finding the old residence, they couldn't even see a shadow.
More importantly, savage beasts roamed the area. If they were to barge into the nest of a savage beast, they wouldn't even know how they died.
"I... don't know either!"
Lu Chong scratched his head awkwardly.
He had only heard of the general area from his elders. He had never been here before, so he wasn't too sure.
"In such a vast mountain range, it's impossible to find an old residence that we don't even know of in a year!"
Mo Yu shook her head.
She only knew that Lu Chong had returned to his old residence to look for something before heading to the League of Nations, but she didn't know what it was.
However, the range before them was simply too big.
The mountain range was vast, and it was covered in greenery. Besides, there might even be a hidden formation... How were they supposed to find it?
"Teacher..."
Everyone looked around, but they were helpless. Thus, they could only focus their gazes on Zhang Xuan.
"This..."
Zhang Xuan also scratched his head. "There's no point looking at me. I've never been to his clan's old residence, and I don't know where it is either..."
Halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Right, I've thought of an idea. It's definitely reliable!"
"You have an idea?"
Everyone was taken aback. Their eyes lit up in excitement.
Mo Yu was also curious.
Even Lu Chong himself didn't know where his clan's old residence was, so what could he do?
Just as she was perplexed, the young man before her took out an empty book and casually drew a direction. Then, he turned his body around and muttered, "Lu Chong's old residence is in this direction... in this direction... in this direction..."
"..."
Mo Yu, Zhao Ya, and the others staggered.
They thought that there would be some reliable method, but upon seeing this, they nearly fainted on the spot.
Taking out a lousy book and drawing a random map to determine the direction, and saying that it was reliable... Where did his confidence come from?
Even if he wanted to fool others, he should at least do it properly. Wasn't he being too half-hearted?
"Alright, this is the direction!"
After circling around the area, Zhang Xuan finally made up his mind and pointed forward.
"..." Mo Yu staggered once more.
Sometimes, she felt that Zhang Shi possessed unparalleled talent, but why did he seem to be fooling around at this moment?
Unable to hold it in anymore, Mo Yu asked, "Can this... method of yours really determine the direction?"
"Of course!" Zhang Xuan nodded seriously. "My method involves the stars, mountains, and lakes of the world. Coupled with my comprehension of the heavens and earth, even treasures can be found, needless to say, the direction!"
The Library of Heaven's Path was able to determine errors. It was fine if one couldn't find the direction. As long as one wrote it down and recited it in one's mind, one would be able to determine the most accurate location.
However, this matter couldn't be said out loud.
"Stars? Mountains, lakes of the world? "
"Comprehension of the heavens and earth?"
Look at me, I look at you.
You took a lousy book, drew a random direction, and just by turning around, you are able to talk about this? Can you be any more ridiculous?
"Forget it, since we can't find the direction anyway, let's just listen to him!"
Mo Yu felt constipated.
Why did she follow him all the way here? She wondered if she would get lost at this rate and never be able to find her way back.
Walking in the direction pointed out by Zhang Xuan, whenever he reached the end of the path or was unable to find a new direction, Zhang Xuan would take out his book and turn around. Two hours later, he arrived at a small col.
"It's here!"
Zhang Xuan pointed forward.
Looking over, everyone was taken aback.
Amidst the lush greenery, the roofs of a few stone huts could be seen. They seemed to be hidden in some kind of formation, and they were indistinct.
"This is it! It's exactly as father told me..."
Lu Chong's eyes lit up, and he blurted out.
"This..."
Hearing his confirmation, everyone's eyes widened in shock. This was especially so for Mo Yu. She stared at Zhang Xuan as though he was a monster, and she was on the verge of going insane.
Even Lu Chong, a knowledgeable person, was unable to find the correct direction. He took out a random book and turned around, thinking that he was messing around. Yet... he was actually right!
Are you for real?
Is it really as he said? Is it really related to the stars, mountains, and lakes of the world?
Otherwise, how could he really find his way here?
Thinking back, from the moment the other party took out a book and started turning around, they had been walking in a straight line, and that was the safest place without any savage beasts. Even if he knew the location in advance, he shouldn't have been able to walk so precisely, right?
More importantly, they were standing at the so-called formation core of the formation. Standing here, they could see the buildings. If they were to change their position, they would be shrouded by the formation, unable to see the buildings anymore.
In other words, if they didn't know the location, even if they were to walk right in front of the formation, they would still be confused by the formation and pass by it.
Not only was the direction accurate, he was even able to find the exact location in an instant...
This fellow... How did he do it?
"Forget it, he isn't human..."
Mo Yu shook her head bitterly. Unable to comprehend the situation, she could only shake her head bitterly.
Ever since she met this fellow, he had displayed heaven-defying capabilities. There were many things that couldn't be fathomed with common sense.
If she were to try to fathom him, it was only a matter of time before she died of exhaustion.
"Let's go!"
Paying no heed to the dazed crowd, Zhang Xuan led the way to the col.
"Teacher, wait a moment. This formation is extremely dangerous!"
Lu Chong hurriedly stepped forward. "It was left behind by my ancestor, and it's said that only the blood of a descendant can stop it..."
"The blood of a descendant?"
Zhang Xuan looked at Lu Chong.
"Un. It seems like if you drip my blood on the boulder controlling the formation, the formation will stop immediately, and a passageway that can allow a human to pass through will appear. If not for the protection of this boulder, the mountain range would have long been raided by humans or savage beasts! "
Lu Chong explained.
Mo Yu and the others nodded.
It had been many years since anyone had visited this old residence, but the fact that it was still in its original state showed how powerful the formation was.
Not only was it impossible for humans to enter, even savage beasts were unable to do so.
It would be troublesome for them to barge into such a formidable formation without stopping it in advance.
"Let's give it a try then!"
Mo Yu said.
Without any hesitation, Lu Chong scanned the surroundings, and a bitter expression surfaced on his face.
Back then, his father did say that he could stop the formation by dripping his blood on the boulder controlling the formation, but... How could this be the boulder controlling the formation?
Strange-Looking boulders were everywhere, and there were at least several thousand of them in the entire col. If he were to drip a drop of blood on every single one of them, he would probably die before the formation could stop.
"This... Teacher, I can't find the boulder controlling the formation..."
A moment later, an awkward expression appeared on Lu Chong's face.
His elder sister was a talented formation master, but he wasn't.
Even though there were many secret manuals on formations in the clan since young, he didn't like them, so he had never looked through them. Now that he was before his ancestor's old residence, he couldn't even find the boulder controlling the formation...
"You can't find it?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback. Scanning the surroundings, he rubbed his glabella and said, "I can't find it either..."
Even though he had read quite a few books on formations, this formation was clearly above grade-2 and grade-3, beyond the level of Tianwu Kingdom.
Even with his eye of discernment, it would be difficult for him to find it.
"Forget it, let's not look for the boulder controlling the formation..."
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"Then... How do we enter?"
Lu Chong was taken aback.
"Simple..."
Zhang Xuan stepped forward.
Weng!
As soon as he stepped into the formation, the entire formation began shaking. Following which, Zhang Xuan raised his leg and kicked it.
Hu!
The formation stopped.
Zhang Xuan waved his hands. "Alright, we can leave now!"
"..." Lu Chong, Mo Yu, and the others.
