Chapter Ninety-Eight: Formation
The easternmost part of the West Wind Continent, at the junction with the Nine Xuan Continent, is shrouded in a layer of white smoke all year round. And in less than half a year, this barrier will split into a crack, and through this crack, the people of the West Wind Continent and the Nine Xuan Continent can go to each other.
However, when the crack does not appear, the space near this barrier is very unstable, and if you approach it rashly, this barrier will burst out with a powerful white light, repelling the intruder.
About a hundred miles away from this barrier are the three major academies established by the three major sects. The area of each college is very huge, and each college is about the size of Mochuan City.
In the middle of the three academies is the council chamber they have set up, where they hold meetings whenever there is something to communicate and negotiate between the three academies.
In normal times, there would be no one in the council chamber. But today, the chamber was packed. The deans of the three major academies, as well as the ten elders of their respective academies, all arrived. It seems that this meeting of the three major academies is bound to be a very urgent matter, otherwise such a big battle would not have been dispatched.
"Everyone's here. "The person who spoke was Xu Lesheng, the dean of the Heavenly Sword Academy.
Among the three major sects, the strength of the Heavenly Sword Sect is the strongest, so generally if there are any internal affairs that need to be dealt with among the three major sects, it is the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect who undertake to be the head of the meeting. Similarly, the meeting held between the three major academies was also presided over by someone from the Heavenly Sword Academy.
"Dean Xu, all of us are here. The deans of the other two colleges said in unison.
"Well, since everyone has arrived, let's start today's discussion. Xu Lesheng looked at the other two, then nodded, but did not continue, he was waiting for someone to ask.
"Dean Xu, I don't know what is important this time, so many people need to be summoned?" The person who spoke was Meng Tongqi, the dean of the Ghost Shadow Academy, who had a good relationship with Xu Lesheng, and knew that this guy looked like this every time he had a meeting, so he would lead the topic every time.
Haoyue appeared. Xu Lesheng picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip lightly, and then said lightly.
"What? What you said is true?" Hearing Xu Lesheng's words, the other two deans suddenly became calm, and the elders of the other two academies also began to discuss.
"Yes, the scabbard in the temple has been glowing white since the other day, you should know what that means. Xu Lesheng was very satisfied with the performance of the other two deans and others, and when he received the news before, he was similar to them.
The temple mentioned by Xu Lesheng is the supreme existence of the three major sects, and this is a palace specially built for the worship of holy weapons.
There is only one temple, which was jointly established by the first generation of the three major sect masters. At that time, the three of them originally got the inheritance of the Haotian Sect in the ancient period, and they should have jointly established a new Haotian Sect. didn't think that the three of them disagreed, so the three of them each took a part and established their own sect.
But later, the three of them found that no matter how they cultivated, they couldn't reach the boundaries recorded in the inheritance. Later, the three of them returned to the place where the inheritance was found at that time, and found that there was still a holy weapon in the Haotian Sect that was missing, and only a scabbard remained.
And this scabbard, which has a close connection with the holy weapon, is the key to finding the holy weapon. All three wanted to get their hands on the artifact, but none of them could defeat the other two.
So the three of them decided to build a palace together, enshrine the scabbard in it, and guard it by the three of them in turn. This palace is the temple that Xu Lesheng said today, and the people who are guarding this temple now are the people of the Heavenly Sword Gate.
Therefore, the first person to get the news of the vision of the sword scabbard in the temple was the people of the Heavenly Sword Gate. At that time, when the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect received the news that the sword scabbard had a vision, not to mention how happy he was, he immediately went to the temple to find the whereabouts of the holy weapon from the scabbard.
Later, no matter how the Heavenly Sword Sect Sect Master fiddled with the scabbard, it just didn't react. In desperation, the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect had no choice but to tell Xu Lesheng the news, reminding him of the news of the appearance of the holy artifact, and asking him to hurry up and find the whereabouts of the holy artifact.
However, after a few months, Xu Lesheng still did not find the holy weapon, so he had to ask the sect master for his guilt. Seeing that Xu Lesheng had no way to find the holy weapon, the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect had no choice but to ask Xu Lesheng to tell the news to the people of the other academies.
After all, paper can't keep the fire, and the scabbard is now full of white light, in case the other two sect masters find out one day, it will be difficult to explain at that time. In desperation, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect asked Xu Lesheng to inform the people of the other two academies on the one hand, and on the other hand, he personally informed the other two sect masters.
"Dean Xu, when did this happen? Does our sect master know?" Meng Tongqi asked.
"Dean Meng, I just received a notice from our sect master yesterday, and he asked me to tell you the news. On your sect master's side, it was told by our sect master himself, and I think you will all receive news from your sect master later. Xu Lesheng replied.
"Then Dean Xu summoned us this time, just to announce the news of the birth of the holy weapon?" Meng Tongqi asked again.
"Of course it's not just that, you should be able to hear from your sect master later, and I'll explain it to you in detail when the time comes. Xu Lesheng still looks unhurried, which makes people itch to watch.
But when the others saw Xu Lesheng's appearance, they didn't ask any more questions. They all know that Xu Lesheng is a person, once he makes this appearance, he will definitely not continue to talk, no matter how others ask, he will not answer again. The people below didn't talk anymore, but quietly waited for the news from the sect master.
After a while, two people came in from outside the door, walked to the side of the Ghost Shadow Academy Dean and the Haoyue Academy Dean respectively, took out a letter and handed it to them. The two of them couldn't wait to open the envelope, and after reading it, the two glanced at each other, understood each other's meaning, and then turned their heads to look at Xu Lesheng.
"How is it? Did your sect master say the same thing?" Xu Lesheng saw the expressions of the two, and knew that his sect master had already negotiated with the other two sect masters, so he asked the two of them.
"Dean Xu, our sect wants us to listen to your arrangement. Meng Tongqi said the instructions of the sect master on the bright side, and he believed that the Haoyue Sect should also be on the bright side.
"Okay, in that case, you can take out the formation map, and we will immediately activate the formation map to see if we can sense the whereabouts of the holy weapon. Hearing Meng Tongqi's answer, Xu Lesheng stood up and said to everyone.
In fact, Xu Lesheng let the deans of the three major academies and the ten elders all come to the council hall this time, all because of the secret order of the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect had seen that the sword scabbard had produced a vision for so long, and there was no news about the whereabouts of the holy weapon, so he had to resort to the last method.
This method is that the three major sects each dispatch ten people to form a formation, and then the general direction of the holy weapon can be sensed through the formation diagram combined by the three major sects. However, this array must be within a thousand miles of the artifact to be effective, and it can only be used once in a year.
Originally, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect wanted to swallow the holy weapon by himself, but Xu Lesheng searched for several months and couldn't find it, so he had to inform the other two sect masters of the news, so that they could complete the formation and find the holy weapon together.
And what Xu Lesheng was waiting for was that the other two sect masters passed the formation diagram over, and now that the formation diagram had arrived, Xu Lesheng no longer pretended, and directly asked them to take out the formation diagram and prepare to explore the whereabouts of the holy weapon.
The three deans each took out a piece of the incomplete formation diagram, and after combining the formation diagrams of the three of them, it became a complete formation diagram. This formation diagram was originally a complete piece, but it was broken into three parts by the original three people.
This array was drawn by a certain foundry master of Haotian Sect in ancient times, and its function was to sense the holy weapon. Because this holy weapon is the foundation of Haotian Sect, there can be no mistakes, in order to ensure that the holy weapon is not lost, this foundry drew this array.
After the three deans put together the formation diagram, they placed the formation diagram in the center of the hall, and then ordered the elders of the three major academies to run their own exercises and inject Yuan Force into the formation diagram.
With the injection of the Yuan Force of the thirty elders, the formation began to rise slowly, floating in the air. Everyone's eyes were staring at this formation diagram, for fear of missing a single detail.
