The ancestor is incompetent!

Chapter 179: Yuan Array
Qiling Gate, in the Ancient Spring Courtyard.

The courtyard was no longer as quiet as before. The round stone table was placed under the corridor of the pavilion, and there were only four wooden chairs lined up facing the main entrance.

Sitting on the wooden chair on the left side of the center was Chen Guan, and next to him was Zuo Qiuyu who had reached the second level of cultivation.

There were twelve true practitioners standing in the courtyard, led by Xiang Changqing and Xiang Changze.

Today, the Qi Ling Sect has reached an unprecedented peak, and there is naturally not enough open space in the small attic courtyard for all those who truly want to practice to sit down.

Therefore, only four wooden chairs were left, in preparation for the scene when the three senior ancestors of the sect came in person, and one was reserved for Chen Guan, the old leader who had worked hard and had a very high seniority.

However, the three highest officials were all in seclusion and would not come out unless it was a major event. The three chairs were naturally vacant, and Zuo Qiuyu, a person with a mysterious origin and a noble tradition, was qualified to sit here.

Xiang Changqing and Xiang Changze looked at each other. They were both curious about this second-level cultivator who looked very old but was young.

But now that he has become a vassal, he can no longer act freely in the family as he did in the past.

The two of them, along with a group of true practitioners, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, old master."

Chen Guan smiled and stood up, helped everyone up, and said with emotion: "After all, you have arrived at my Qiling Sect without any danger. From now on, you don't have to worry about the oppression of Wanzhu Mountain.

It's a pity for Fellow Daoist Yun Huan. If he could come, everyone in our sect would welcome him."

Xiang Changze couldn't stop crying when he heard this, "It's because of our low strength that the ancestor had to risk his life to protect us."

Xiang Changqing, who was standing by, didn't show it on his face, but he was thinking in his heart: If the ancestor Yun Huan really came alive, I'm afraid you, Qi Lingmen, don't know how to guard against him. After all, it makes a huge difference whether a clan has a high-ranking cultivator or not.

"Alas, Fellow Daoist Yun Huan is also a person of great talent, how can he be forgotten and become unknown?" Chen Guan sighed, as if he was truly sorry for him. "I have set a precedent and allowed Fellow Daoist Yun Huan's spirit tablet to be included in the ancestral hall of my Qi Ling Sect, but his status can only be the same as mine. This is the most I can do. Otherwise, I'm afraid that everyone in the sect will criticize him."

"what?"

All the true practitioners of the Xiang family were shocked, but most of them were filled with disbelief and surprise. After all, it was extremely difficult to enter the clan temple as an outsider.

"Thank you very much, old master, for your kindness. We are deeply grateful!" Xiang Changze also looked happy. In this way, the younger generations in the clan will finally have an ancestor's name to worship and commemorate openly, and know the origin of their root surname.

Zuo Qiu Yu, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this scene. The old master was indeed a man of extraordinary wisdom. In this way, not only would the Xiang family now have a sense of belonging and gratitude towards the Qi Ling Sect, but his personal prestige would also be enhanced, and the subsequent matter of taking over the Xiang family would be much simpler and easier.

Even more, Xiang Yunhuan died in the Tianji star position. No one knows whether the star master will carry a trace of Xiang Yunhuan's memory when he returns to his position one day in the future?
Even if there is only a slight possibility, it is necessary to enshrine his spirit. Even if he becomes an enemy in the future, he can still get some mercy.

Chen Guan continued, "I am only trying to help you. You are new here, so you must be on guard. But Qi Ling Sect has already regarded you as guest elders. You only need to complete some mundane tasks every five years. We will provide you with spiritual objects and spiritual resources for your cultivation.

As for the Qi training disciples, they are already undergoing assessments between the various peaks. The seven peaks of Qi Ling each have their own division of labor, and we will definitely be able to make proper arrangements for the Xiang family disciples. You can rest assured about this. If there are any younger disciples who need extra care, just ask me.

These disciples will be divided into outer disciples, inner disciples, and steward disciples according to their cultivation level, and will be treated the same as the original disciples of our Qi Ling Sect, without any partiality.

I only hope that you can settle down completely and treat Qi Ling Men as your home!"

Chen Guan's heartfelt words really moved the true practitioners. They already agreed with him and all of them responded respectfully.

"As for your caves and residences, I have already selected areas for you. There are four in total."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and a huge map of light and shadow of mountains and rivers appeared above the courtyard, showing the entire range of the Qi realm set up by Qi Ling.

"The Qi Ling Mountain Gate is only 300 miles away. If we provide for you, it will certainly divide the spiritual energy, making the spiritual power of the mountain gate extremely low. Not only will it affect the disciples' cultivation, it will also delay your cultivation. That's why we have to divide and arrange it this way.

The first place is near the border of Chouyun Mountain. I have ordered my disciples to build twelve caves within this area of ​​more than 3,000 miles. All of them are places with the richest spiritual energy and even produce spiritual objects.

If there are elders who practice Yin Qi, Gui Wu and other ways, they can choose a cave here.

In addition, eighteen caves were built within four thousand miles of Yinque Mountain. If there are elders who practice water virtue, it would be a good choice to choose this place. After all, they can borrow the Shaoyin weather.

Thirty-seven caves were built within five thousand miles of Xueyun Mountain where Junior Sister Bai lived. This place is most suitable for true practitioners of Taoist sects such as Han Xue to live in.

Finally, fourteen caves were built within two thousand miles of the mountain gate. These caves were most suitable for the monks of the earth, wood, gold and other sects to live in.

And because of the existence of the Fusang sacred tree in this mountain, it is naturally the most suitable place for people who practice the true virtue of fire to live there for a long time.

If the elders have any interest in a place, please make your own choice."

Hearing this, everyone in the Xiang family was excited. In the Xiang family, there were not so many choices. Most of the time, they had to practice wherever the family assigned them.

Xiang Changze couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw the expressions of the crowd. It seemed that the Xiang family's true desire to practice had been dispersed. If he continued to influence them in the long run, using both kindness and severity, he would not worry that they would not be disobedient.

After everyone had chosen a cave to live in, and each of them had received the various sect communication items and sect rules and regulations that had been prepared long ago, they were allowed to leave, collect their salaries, and go to their respective caves with great anticipation in their hearts.

After they all left, Zuo Qiuyu, who had been sitting quietly by the side, asked curiously, "But what formation did Junior Brother Lu come up with?"

Chen Guan smiled and asked, "Did Junior Brother Zuo find out anything?"

"These caves are located in places with rich spiritual energy, and they can also be nodes of the great formation. There are eighty-one of them, covering a distance of tens of thousands of miles. I'm afraid this formation has already exceeded the scope of the spiritual formation, right?" Zuo Qiuyu praised in amazement: "Junior Brother Lu's cultivation in the art of formation has become more and more profound."

"I really can't hide it from Junior Brother Zuo, you are really sharp." Chen Guan admitted with a smile: "This formation is not an ordinary Qi training formation, nor is it a foundation building spirit formation, but it involves the Yuan formation!

The golden elixir uses the status to set up a large formation, which is in line with the direct use of the power of heaven and earth. It involves the status of various paths and cannot be resisted by true cultivation. It is called the Yuan Formation! "

"Origin Formation! Golden Elixir Origin Formation!" Zuo Qiuyu was surprised and said, "Where can we find the status? Even if the three upper positions have extraordinary talents and can guide the next ray of status at the time of the ninth transformation, they can only use it for their own bodies and for ascending to the throne and seeking gold. How can they be used to set up the formation? Unless you use yourself as the core of the formation and are refined by the formation, you can barely use it to form an Origin Formation, right?"

"Yes, Junior Brother Zuo really understands the principles of formations." Chen Guan nodded and said, "The matter of status has its own uses, but although the power of this Yuan Formation is strong, not everyone can control it. Even with the formation spirit and Junior Brother Lu in charge, there is still one last crucial person missing."

Zuo Qiuyu was slightly stunned and asked, "Could it be me?"

"Junior brother is indeed smart." Chen Guan clapped his hands and smiled, "It's you, Junior brother!"

"What? It's really me?" Zuo Qiuyu stood there in shock. "But I'm only at the second level. How can I take on such an important task?"

"This formation is called the Yin-Yang Illusionary Yang Dark Moon Formation. The formation spirit is in charge of the Dark Moon Formation, and Junior Brother Lu is in charge of the Illusionary Yang Formation. The only thing missing is the last person to turn the Yin-Yang around!"

Chen Guan continued, "Junior brother Zuo, you are the only true practitioner of the Taiji Dao in the world. From the moment you acquired the magical power [Liang Yi Xiang], you were destined not to be an ordinary true practitioner.

The magical power of Liang Yi and the way of Tai Chi are most suitable for the way of formation. Even if you have poor talent in the way of formation, with the blessing of magical power you will be far better than the ordinary masters of formation.

It is most appropriate for you to be the master of the Liangyi Yuan Array! This is the Yuan Array Ban and part of the Array Chess Array Board. Junior Brother Zuo, take it back and comprehend it. If you have any doubts, you can ask Junior Brother Lu. He will certainly tell you everything he knows. "

Zuo Qiuyu had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept these dozen jade slips, hundreds of formation flags, and dozens of formation plates, and then go back to try to comprehend them with the mentality of giving it a try.

After sending away this person who must not be offended, Chen Guan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could not help but cough twice, and when he opened his palm, he found that it was some fine sand.

There were some gold flakes on the sand, and each one looked dazzling under the light. Chen Guan felt so dizzy that he couldn't stand and collapsed on the chair.

He lay down for a while to relax, then sat up and put the fine sand into a wooden box engraved with the Ice Sealing Magic Ban, because the sand still had a burning smell, just like the soil that is dry when it falls to the ground and burns when it meets wood.

Chen Guan has been through a lot for a long time, so it is impossible for him not to know that his body was injured when he used the Qingyun Zhaoming Golden Lamp. However, this was not the case when Senior Brother Li Yuan used it.

He sat quietly under the osmanthus tree, unconsciously having many guesses in his mind. This was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

He had also consulted the ancient books on metaphysics left by Senior Brother Li Yuan. This situation could only mean that Wei Tu was becoming more and more prosperous...

Chen Guan didn't dare to think about it anymore. He was afraid that what he was thinking would be seen by the beings in the sky, so he had been carrying the copper coins left by Zhang Qi with him all these years to prevent his thoughts from being seen.

But as he learned more and more, and understood how terrifying and powerful the adults in heaven were, he wondered whether this ancient Tianyan Qi could still conceal his thoughts from being exposed.

Chen Guan sometimes even thought about ending his own life, because he knew too much, and he had guesses about many secrets in his mind, but he always controlled himself and didn't dare to think about it.

So he wanted to commit suicide to prevent the secret in his heart from being leaked to others.

But he also hoped that one day he could see a golden elixir being born in the sect, only then could he leave with peace of mind. So even though his magical powers had changed several times over the years and urged him to improve his cultivation, he was suppressed again and again.

As a result, his body becomes older and older. He could live longer, but for the sake of the overall situation, he cannot live too long.

Thinking of this, he fell into a deep sleep before he knew it.

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly I dreamed that he appeared in an endless desert. The desert seemed boundless, with no end in sight. Every grain of sand was extremely hot, emitting a scorching temperature, and there was not even a cloud in the sky.

"This is where?"

Chen Guan was confused. He walked deeper and deeper into the desert. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the sunlight in the sky was so bright that it seemed as if it would never set.

Finally, he saw something different from the desert on a vast plain of sand dunes.

A newly born baby bird is absorbing the hot breath between heaven and earth. Its body grows from flesh-colored to light blue feathers. Its body gradually grows bigger. When it stands up, it has only one leg.

This one-legged blue bird grew bigger and bigger, gradually becoming bigger than a mountain, with a body length of a hundred feet, a thousand feet, and then ten thousand feet!
The bluebird spread its wings, raised up the sand all over the sky, flew for nine days, turned the sand into dust, covered the sky, blocked out the sun, and turned it into a gray color.

Chen Guan, who saw this scene, suddenly woke up and blurted out: "On the ground, it is dry and sandy, and in the sky, it is dust and ashes. The symbol of the earth is the divine bird Shangyang!"

He immediately prostrated himself on the ground and bowed respectfully, "Disciple pays homage to the ancestor! The ancestor appeared in my dream. Is there anything I can ask for?"

The blue bird was flying in the sky, and even though it was very far away, it still heard his prayer. Its green feathers dropped down, and its eyes looked at him, but a hint of disgust suddenly appeared in its eyes. The blue bird immediately cried loudly, and a strong wind raged in the sky, raising a hurricane that covered the sky and wanted to tear it apart.

But at this moment, two peach blossoms came from nowhere, covering his eyes and making him lose consciousness.

A blue light and a white light emerged in the desert. The two lights turned into two snakes, coiling and sawing above. Suddenly, rain fell from the sky and earth, falling heavily, turning the hot desert into a vast water area with huge waves.

The green and white snakes were causing trouble in the water, and they were staring at the blue bird Shang Yang in the sky.

"Who is this young man who dares to change the destiny of my lineage?"

The Shangyang divine bird raised its voice in the sky and asked, and dust in the sky rolled like waves, colliding with the waves and scattering away.

"It is too overbearing for the True Lord to use the lives of his disciples for thousands of generations to supplement his own body for his own benefit."

A clear voice emerged, and the huge bodies of two green and white snakes intertwined behind him, and Li Yuan appeared.

"Humph, how dare an ant question my actions?"

With just these two words, the pressure between heaven and earth was so overwhelming that if it were an ordinary cultivator, he would have already fallen into prostration and could not withstand the aura of the True Lord.

But Li Yuan, as the master of Xuanyuan Realm, stood higher than the True Lord in Xuanyuan World, so he was naturally not afraid of the oppression of the atmosphere. He just said softly: "True Lord, I am just a newborn at this moment. Although I am an ant, I can practice for many years, but please teach me, True Lord."
