The Shang Qing Sect was one of the three controlling forces in Yuezhou. It had tens of thousands of years of history and was a Sect that had been around for tens of thousands of years.
There were many experts among them. The Sect Master and the Grand Supreme Elders who were in seclusion were even more powerful. However, the most famous thing about this force was not a single person, but two amazing divine objects.
The first was the legendary treasure of the Sect. The second was the Shang Qing Sect's protective array.
God-stunning Array.
There was no need to doubt the grade of this formation. It was a legendary divine formation, and its strength was so powerful that it made one's hair stand on end. It was said that if this array was activated, even if it was controlled by a completion leveled cultivator, it would be able to defend against the attack of an original leveled cultivator!
If it was controlled by an original leveled cultivator, then it would be able to stop a fifth leveled cultivator. How powerful would that be?
It was ridiculously powerful!
However, a few days ago, there was a problem with the Array of the Astonished Gods. It couldn't operate on its own like usual. In other words, this famous array of Yuezhou was broken.
Because of this, the higher-ups of the Shang Qing Sect were panicking. Rumor had it that even the elders who were in isolation were alerted.
However, the array grandmaster from the Shang Qing Sect was helpless against this. Even the other array masters from Yuezhou were shaking their heads, expressing their helplessness.
Therefore, the higher-ups of the Shang Qing Sect were even more anxious. All they could think about was how to fix the array.
Therefore, after receiving Yu Wu Xiu's message, all the higher-ups of the Shang Qing Sect gathered at the meeting hall and waited for her arrival.
At this moment, there were eight people sitting in the meeting hall. Each of them emitted an extremely terrifying aura. Even the space around them was slightly distorted.
One of them sat at the head of the hall. His entire body was shrouded in chaotic energy, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. However, his exposed eyes were as bright as stars and as sharp as divine swords. No one dared to look him in the eye.
It was the Supreme Headmaster of the Shang Qing Sect, Ji Qian Bai.
It was said that he had been defeated a thousand times since he started cultivating, but after the thousandth defeat, he never lost again. He could be said to be a living legend.
Below him, the four peak leaders floated in midair like reincarnated Buddhas. They looked dignified and inviolable.
Other than the four peak leaders, the leaders of the Path of Alchemy, Crafts and Arrays were here as well. The Qi they emitted wasn't as terrifying as the four peak leaders', nor as terrifying as Ji Qian Bai's. However, nobody dared to underestimate them.
Because all three of them were grandmasters!
One has to know that the status of a Grandmaster was very honorable. Even an Original Infant Stage cultivator had to be polite to them.
"Wu Xiu is late. I've made everyone wait for a long time."
A crisp voice suddenly rang out. Yu Wu Xiu was like a fairy descending from the heavens, extraordinary and peerless.
Behind her, Ling Xian marched forward softly. As he followed her into the grand hall, he checked out the eight people who were emitting terrifying Qi.
"They're all acquaintances."
Silently sighing, Ling Xian knew that since he had arrived at the Shang Qing Sect, he will for sure see these eight important figures again. However, he did not expect to see the four Peak Leaders on his first day, and the Sect Leader and the three Grandmasters on the second day.
When they saw Yu Wu Xiu slowly walking over, the eight of them stood up and cupped their fists together. They spoke in an extremely courteous manner.
"We greet the saintess."
"There is no need to be so polite. You are all seniors, why are you greeting a junior like me?" Yu Wu Xiu smiled warmly.
Ling Xian wasn't surprised.
Because Yu Wu Xiu was the descendant of one of the founders of the Shang Qing Sect and had mastered some mysterious powers, her position in the Shang Qing Sect was very high. She was given the title of a saintess and was on the same level as the Supreme Headmaster.
Plus, even when the Sect Leader sees her, he has to be polite and doesn't dare to be rude.
"Of course."
Ji Qian Bai softly smiled and shifted his gaze to Ling Xian, who was standing behind Yu Wu Xiu. However, after merely one glance, he frowned.
The four peak leaders and the three Grandmasters frowned as well.
Their cultivation levels were extremely high. They were able to tell Ling Xian's cultivation level after merely one glance.
On top of that, the four peak leaders just saw him yesterday. They knew very well that he was merely a new pupil. How could a new pupil fix the Array of the Astonished Gods? Wasn't this a fantasy?
At this, Yu Wu Xiu brightly smiled. She knew that these important figures didn't think highly of Ling Xian.
When she first met him, she did not expect that this young man would actually have such terrifying attainments in the Array Dao.
Ling Xian also knew that these important figures didn't think highly of him. But he had to prove it with facts. If he can fix the Array of the Astonished Gods, who would dare to question him?
"You are the person the saintess talked about, the person who could fix the Array of the Astonished Gods?"
Ji Qian Bai frowned. He stared straight at Ling Xian with a threatening gaze that was extremely oppressive.
However, Ling Xian acted like he didn't feel anything. He said in a manner that was neither humble nor arrogant, "My name is Xian Ling. I am a new pupil."
"You are the one who rejected the four peak leaders and chose the Path of Crafts?"
Ji Qian Bai laughed. The three grandmasters laughed as well.
They have all heard about this and naturally thought Ling Xian was a weirdo and very funny.
"That's me. I am also the person the saintess talked about." Ling Xian's expression was calm and he wasn't affected by their laughter.
"Interesting."
Ji Qian Bai shook his head with a smile, "A Heaven's Favorite who chose the Path of Crafts. Now, you are here to fix the Array of the Astonished Gods. You sure are interesting."
Pausing, he continued, "But, there is no way you can fix the Array of the Astonished Gods. So, you better go back."
The four peak leaders and the three grandmasters were all laughing. They didn't believe that a 20 something year old like Ling Xian could fix the Array of the Astonished Gods.
Especially the leader of the Path of Arrays. He had asked the other grandmasters of Yuezhou to research for a long time and still couldn't find a way to fix it. Why would he believe that Ling Xian could do it?
However, these people were all important figures and naturally, they wouldn't mock Ling Xian. It was just that the natural distrust in their expressions was more direct and powerful than any taunt.
This made Ling Xian frown. But he didn't say anything. He understood what everyone was thinking. After all, he was far too young and it was hard for people to believe him.
However, understanding didn't mean he would back off.
Since everyone didn't believe him, then he would show them the truth. When that happens, nobody would be able to question him anymore!
Therefore, Ling Xian stepped forward one step and uttered out an arrogant statement.
"Supreme Headmaster, if you give me a chance, then I will for sure help you and the Shang Qing Sect get rid of this problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present burst into laughter.
It wasn't that they were mocking him, it was that they thought Ling Xian was acting out of spite.
They didn't believe that he had the ability to fix the Array of the Astonished Gods. They were merely treating him like a child who was speaking out of spite.
However, perhaps it was because he was desperate, or perhaps he thought Ling Xian was interesting, Ji Qian Bai didn't stop him.
Looking at the ordinary looking man before him, he grinned, "If you really want to try, then I can give you a chance."
"That is enough. I will show you the truth and convince you." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, revealing a smile that was hard to understand.
There was joy, sarcasm, and coldness.
Since nobody believed him, then he was going to show them the truth and slap them in the face!
