Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Ninety-nine percent of all formations in the world are fixed and unchanging; this is common knowledge. Han Feng had never heard of a formation that could move on its own before.

“No wonder. When I was looking at the Mountain and River Map, I sensed that the essence of the formation came from inside the mist. After the mist was removed, the formation in the Illusion Forest was also dispelled.”

Han Feng said.

"That makes sense."

Xu Lingzi is indeed quite capable to have created such a unique formation and to have easily trapped two half-saints.

Elder Hua looked at Han Feng, her red lips moved slightly, and she hesitated, as if she wanted to say something to him.

Han Feng noticed the other party's unusual behavior and took the initiative to speak: "Elder Hua, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Yes... Mr. Han Feng, I'd like to study the Four Directions Spirit Trapping Array. Could you take me to observe it in the Landscape Painting?"

"no problem."

Han Feng nodded.

Elder Hua looked at Han Feng expectantly, already prepared to enter.

"Elder Qing, are you interested in this formation?"

Elder Qing smiled and shook his head: "I'll pass, I still have to deliver pills to Qingyun, you guys go ahead."

Her array formation skills were only at the initial eighth rank, far inferior to her elder sister, Elder Hua, a peak eighth-rank array formation master.

Elder Qing knew he wasn't qualified to study ninth-grade formations.

"Elder Hua, let's go to my room and talk in detail."

Han Feng said.

Elder Hua nodded, then waved goodbye to his sister.

Elder Qing watched Han Feng and Elder Hua depart, smiled gently, and flew off in another direction.

Inside the room, Han Feng opened the Mountain and River Map and led Elder Hua inside.

With a thought, he dragged out the previously sealed mist.

"Elder Hua, I'll probably be leaving tomorrow, so you only have one night."

"what?"

Elder Hua said blankly, "But one night is simply not enough time."

It would take at least ten days to half a month to gain a basic understanding of a ninth-grade formation, right?

"Mr. Han Feng, can't I go with you?"

Han Feng pondered for a moment: "I don't have anything particularly important to do next. If Elder Hua is willing to stay here and meditate, that's fine too."

"I do!"

Elder Hua nodded hurriedly, afraid that Han Feng would prevent her from comprehending it.

"Alright, but shouldn't we talk to Elder Qing about this?"

Han Feng felt that although Elder Hua was Elder Qing's older sister, she seemed to be somewhat naive, and Elder Qing usually made the decisions.

As expected, Elder Hua nodded upon hearing this, saying, "I should tell my sister, but she should agree."

"Elder Hua, please continue your research here. I'm going outside. Please let me know if anything happens; I can sense it."

Elder Hua nodded, his mind gradually focusing on the fog before him.

Han Feng left the Mountain and River Map and flew towards Hua Yu's residence.

On the eve of leaving the Flower Sect, Han Feng took the opportunity to communicate more with Aunt Hua. He could sense that her feelings for him were even stronger than in his previous life.

That makes sense, though, because in her previous life, Hua Yu wasn't seriously injured, nor did she suffer from the torment of evil energy for so many years.

She is the peerless sect leader of the Flower Sect, a confidante of the Medicine Saint Yao Chen, and her interactions with Han Feng are mostly due to Yao Chen.

In the battle against the Soul Clan, Hua Yu unleashed her full power to delay the Soul Clan's reinforcements in order to complete a mission, allowing Han Feng to successfully break through the Human Palace, destroy the Great Celestial Venerable, and turn the tide.

Unfortunately, Hua Yu died in the battle due to severe exhaustion, and Han Feng felt a deep sense of guilt towards her.

In her previous life, Hua Yu may not have developed strong feelings for Han Feng, but simply regarded him as an ordinary junior.

If she and Yao Chen had become Daoist partners, she might have developed feelings for Han Feng as if he were her own son. However, Yao Chen rejected her, so Hua Yu naturally wouldn't cross that line of affection and believed she could be Han Feng's master's wife.

However, in this life, with Yao Chen's death, Hua Yu's experiences also underwent significant changes. Han Feng's appearance healed her physical and mental wounds. Regardless of whether she became Yao Chen's Daoist partner, Hua Yu sincerely believed that Han Feng was her closest junior and someone she could trust unconditionally.

Han Feng arrived at the entrance of Huayu Gate. At this time, the other party should have been resting, but they were still dealing with the affairs of Hua Sect.

"Aunt Hua, are you still busy?"

"Feng'er?"

Hua Yu was pleasantly surprised to see Han Feng arrive.

"How did you come?"

"I came to chat with Aunt Hua."

Han Feng walked in.

Hua Yu put down her pen, stood up and said, "I was very worried about the situation there today, so I didn't finish dealing with it. I'll have to finish it tonight."

Although the sect leader has the right to arrange their time freely, they also need to handle important matters that have accumulated within the sect.

Hua Yu is clearly a responsible sect leader, which is why she is still handling official business so late.

"Aunt Hua, nothing major has happened in the Western Regions of Zhongzhou these past few years, has it?"

"It's alright. The Soul Palace and the Heavenly Nether Sect are relatively well-behaved. However, I heard that the Soul Palace is secretly recruiting people and has established its main base in the Northern Region."

"Northern Territory?"

Han Feng frowned slightly.

The Northern Region of Central Continent is the region closest to the Northwest Continent. The main force of the Soul Palace is migrating there. Could it be that they have discovered something?

"I've heard that the Wind and Thunder Pavilion in the Northern Region isn't having an easy time lately."

Hua Yu continued, "Originally, Fenglei Pavilion was the local power in the Northern Region, controlling all the major cities. Now that the Soul Palace has taken over the Northern Region, Fenglei Pavilion's position has become very awkward."

Although the Soul Palace will not easily reveal the location of its branch halls, it only recruits top experts and has no intention of becoming the overlord of a region.

However, with such a behemoth behind them, even if he makes no move, it will still make Fenglei Pavilion feel like it has a thorn in its side and a fishbone stuck in its throat.

Han Feng nodded slightly.

Fenglei Pavilion is only one of the few well-known forces in Zhongzhou that can barely be considered a first-rate force.

Unlike Burning Flame Valley and Ice River Valley, which, although their current valley masters are only mid-level Dou Zun, possess considerable resources.

Unlike the two sects, which have a demigod in charge.

Being able to squeeze into the bottom of the first-class forces is already its limit.

"It seems I'll have to make a trip to the Northern Region later."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yu suddenly remembered something and said to Han Feng with a smile, "Feng'er, do you remember that next year is the Four Directions Pavilion Grand Competition, and it will be held on the territory of the Northern Region Wind and Thunder Pavilion?"

"Is the Four Directions Pavilion Grand Competition next year?"

Han Feng was surprised. He did remember that the next Four Directions Pavilion Grand Competition would be held at the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"In the past ten years or so, the Yellow Springs Pavilion was destroyed and replaced by the Heavenly Fire Pavilion. The change of power between the old and new forces has made many people in the Central Continent curious about this Four Pavilions Grand Competition. Now the Starfall Pavilion is thriving again, producing so many powerful figures..."

When there is an imbalance of power, the one under pressure is the boss who is in charge.

The purpose of holding this Four Directions Pavilion Grand Competition was originally to promote the prestige of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and to tell everyone that the Wind and Thunder Pavilion won the championship in the last competition.

But now it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Starfall Pavilion is the leader among the Four Pavilions.

It's also thanks to the fact that the Four Directions Pavilion Grand Competition is a stage for young people to compete; otherwise, this competition would not have been held at all.

Just meeting him would probably make Lei Zun Zhe bow and scrape to Yao Chen, afraid of displeasing the Medicine Saint in any way.

An alchemist's connections can be many levels higher than his own cultivation level.

Yao Chen is already a half-saint, so the resources he can mobilize might even involve Dou Sheng powerhouses.

The small Fenglei Pavilion is not to be trifled with.

"Will Aunt Hua go to see it then?"

Han Feng asked.

Logically speaking, someone like Hua Yu, a peak Dou Zun and the sect leader of the Hua Sect, would never go to the Four Directions Pavilion to observe the competition.

But if even Yao Chen is participating, it's only natural that Hua Yu would be there as well.

"Is Feng'er going?"

Hua Yu did not answer directly.

Han Feng nodded.

"Go."

"Then I'll go too."

Hua Yu then answered with a smile.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before Han Feng prepared to get down to business.

He came to see Hua Yu, but there was actually another important matter to discuss.

"Aunt Hua, do you remember when I used the Sea Heart Flame to help you refine the Nine Yuan Spirit Water last time?"

"of course I remember."

Hua Yu nodded.

That night, Han Feng helped her cultivate, a memory that Hua Yu still vividly remembers.

The little turtle transformed from the Sea Heart Flame swam slowly inside her body, not only helping to refine the Nine Yuan Spirit Water, but also repairing some hidden injuries inside her body.

The Sea Heart Flame, which has awakened the power of the Xuanwu, contains powerful water laws and will greatly help Hua Yu on her path of understanding the laws.

"How about I help Aunt Hua with her cultivation again tonight?"

"what?"

Hua Yu was stunned.

Her current cultivation level has reached the peak of the Ninth Revolution Dou Zun, recovering to the level before she was corrupted by evil energy. The next step would make her a Half-Saint.

One night of meditation doesn't seem to determine anything.

However, since Feng'er has such good intentions, we naturally cannot refuse.

Hua Yu thought to herself.

"Okay, I'll have to trouble Feng'er again tonight."

The two quickly washed up, changed into casual clothes, and sat on the bed.

Facing Hua Yu, Han Feng slowly raised his hands, then suddenly trembled, revealing the essence of the Sea Heart Flame.

Ripples spread out around him, the powerful water-attribute law making Hua Yu feel awe and wonder.

She had a premonition that tonight's training would not be easy.

The full moon hangs high.

In the dimly lit room, streaks of blue light emanated from the two of them.

Han Feng closed his eyes and muttered something to himself.

These words, amplified by fighting spirit and soul power, flew into Hua Yu's ears, resounding like a great bell, each word deafening.

"What Feng'er is passing on to me now is the cultivation manual!"

"At least... Heavenly Rank!"

Hua Yu was deeply shocked.

Even within the ancient and powerful Flower Sect, only one Heavenly Rank cultivation technique exists, and it is of the Wood attribute, which is inconsistent with Hua Yu's original battle qi.

In other words, the cultivation techniques and scriptures that Han Feng mentioned were Hua Yu's first encounter with the concept of the Heavenly Rank!

Hua Yu dared not be careless in the slightest, concentrating her mind to receive Han Feng's indoctrination of scriptures.
