Inside the grand hall, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he revealed a smile that was hard to understand.
Ji Qian Bai and everyone else were smiling as well. Sarcastic smiles.
They didn't believe Ling Xian had the ability to fix the Array of the Astonished Gods. Remember that it was a legendary heavenly array. Even the alliance of the array masters from Yuezhou was helpless. How could a young man in his twenties repair it?
Therefore, everyone revealed a look of anticipation. They weren't anticipating the Array of the Astonished Gods being fixed, they were anticipating Ling Xian to embarrass himself.
At the same time, Ling Xian was anticipating as well. But he was anticipating the moment the Array of the Astonished Gods is fixed.
Of course, to put it more accurately, he was anticipating the shocked and embarrassed faces of the upper echelons.
In other words, both parties were anticipating the other party to lose face.
Though there were no cold words exchanged between them and no killer's intent, this was a battle that concerned both parties' faces. It was just that there was no smoke.
On the surface, the two parties appeared to be in harmony. But in terms of importance, this was no less than a battle of life and death.
After all, this concerned their faces!
If Ling Xian fixes the Array of the Astonished Gods, then Ji Qian Bai and them would be the ones to lose face. Not only would they be slapped in the face, but they would also feel ashamed.
But if he couldn't fix the Array of the Astonished Gods, then what he said just now would be considered arrogance and a giant joke.
However, since Ling Xian dared to say that, it meant he had full confidence.
Don't forget, there was an array ancestor inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals. Even if he can't fix the Array of the Astonished Gods, can't an Immortal of Arrays?
Therefore, Ling Xian was very confident and his expression was very calm.
"You sure are confident. But only when you have the ability to match it is admirable. Or else not only will you be seen as arrogant, but you will also lose all face. "
Ji Qian Bai softly smiled. The seriousness in his eyes disappeared and was replaced with playfulness.
The four peak leaders and the three grandmasters reacted the same way. They were all looking at Ling Xian with playfulness in their eyes. They didn't think he had the ability to fix the Array of the Astonished Gods.
The array grandmaster in particular, as an array grandmaster, naturally knew how difficult it was to fix the Array of the Astonished Gods. Even if he teamed up with the other array grandmasters, they wouldn't be able to find any clues. How could a 20 something young man do it?
This was simply an impossible matter!
"Then let's give it a try. Once the results are out, the outcome will be clear."
Ling Xian faintly grinned, feeling too lazy to waste any more time. He said, "Supreme Headmaster, please give me the array board."
"The word victory and defeat is well used. The situation between you and us is indeed like a battlefield. If you can't repair it, it's the same as slapping yourself in the face. If you succeed in repairing it, you will be slapping our faces. "
Ji Qian Bai shook his head and teased, "I'm looking forward to you slapping our faces."
Then, he flapped around his sleeve and a golden round plate slowly flew before Ling Xian, emitting golden light.
At this, Ling Xian frowned.
Generally speaking, if the formation was broken, the formation plate would not be able to light up. But right now, the array plate was glowing brightly. From a certain perspective, this meant that the array was not broken.
But that didn't make sense. If it wasn't broken, why would the Shang Qing Sect's higher-ups act like ants on a hot pan?
"Young man, you think this is troublesome?"
The array leader chuckled, "The reason why we are helpless is partly because, on the surface, the Array of the Astonished Gods is not broken. But it is also a fact that the array cannot function. "
"I see. No wonder even the alliance of the grandmasters could not fix it."
Ling Xian had a realization and sent his Qi into the array board. He planned on investigating where the problem was.
However, after he carefully scanned inside and out, he found that there was nothing wrong with the array board.
This made Ling Xian frown. Unwilling to give up, he checked a few more times. The conclusion he got was the same as before.
The Array of the Astonished Gods was not broken at all!
"This doesn't make sense. It is not broken at all. Why is the array not working?" Ling Xian frowned, not understanding what was going on.
Luckily, he was no ordinary array master. Inside his brain, he had an unparalleled array inheritance.
Therefore, he called out and the Immortal of Array's inheritance appeared in his brain. Then, he carefully searched for the strange symptoms of arrays recorded on it. After a while, he finally found it.
If a heavenly array is not damaged but cannot function, then there is only one situation – the array is in a dormant state.
And there is only one reason why an array is in a dormant state – it is transforming.
Normally speaking, heavenly arrays have the ability to automatically transform. When they absorb enough spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth, they will automatically transform and gain intelligence.
As for the result of the transformation, that was uncertain. It could become stronger and gain intelligence. There was also a possibility that it would fail and fall from the grade of the divine array, losing its former divine might.
"I see."
After finding the problem, Ling Xian revealed a relaxed smile. Since he had found the reason, then he no longer needed to worry.
However, just as he was about to tell everyone the truth, Ji Qian Bai teased, "What about it? You can't do anything, right? If that's the case, then you are slapping yourself in the face. "
"I am slapping myself in the face?"
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. He understood that Ji Qian Bai and them didn't believe him. After all, he was far too young and nobody would believe him. Plus, these important figures were kind to him and didn't speak badly of him.
Therefore, he wasn't angry. He simply wanted to fix the Array of the Astonished Gods to prove himself and make these important figures feel like they were blind.
But before his eyes, Ji Qian Bai was asking to be slapped in the face. If Ling Xian didn't slap him, then he would be letting him off easy.
"Supreme Headmaster, you asked for this. Oh well, this is a good opportunity for you to vent some of your anger."
Ling Xian revealed a sarcastic smile and glanced over everyone, "I have found the problem. You may not believe me, but it is the truth. The array is in a dormant state."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the area burst into laughter.
Arrays can be dormant?
They've never heard of this.
However, the Array Grandmaster frowned as he analyzed the possibility of this answer.
"Young man, you must be helpless. That's why you came up with such a lie."
Ji Qian Bai's face was full of mockery as he treated Ling Xian's words as an excuse, "If you can't fix it, then just say so. We don't have high hopes anyways. So what if we lose face? It's nothing."
The Peak Leader and the Leader of Alchemy and Crafts were also in disbelief. They thought that Ling Xian was merely finding an excuse to trick them.
"It seems like none of you believe me."
Ling Xian softly grinned. He was calm and collected, "If that's the case, then I will show you the evidence to make you believe me."
Then, he formed a hand seal and displayed a technique created by the Immortal of Array. It was a technique that allowed him to communicate with a heavenly array that just gained sentience.
Instantly, the gold array board emitted a blinding amount of light. Like the Sun in the sky, it brightened up all directions.
Everyone here revealed a look of disbelief.
This was because a Divine Will had appeared in their minds. It was only a short sentence.
He was right.
This "he" was naturally referring to Ling Xian.
In other words, the evidence had appeared. These top figures of Yuezhou were about to be slapped in the face.
