Chapter 517
"Alright then…"
Xiao Jingtian was somewhat disappointed; the biggest reason he had joined the Qinglong Society was, in truth, simply to ask Ximen Wudi to make a move.
"However, I can take charge of it — the Mission Hall, the Wu Gong Pavilion, the Divine Weapon Hall, the Elixir Tower, and so on — all the vital locations of Qinglong."
"Anywhere you wish to go, you may go!"
"Additionally, I permit you to begin accepting missions and accumulating points under the status of a non-formal member of the Qinglong Society."
Senior Xiaoyaozi thought it over, and in the end made this arrangement.
This was almost the same as having accepted Xiao Jingtian into the Society; all that remained was for the Great Longshou Ximen Wudi to return and assign him a position.
"Xiao Jingtian thanks the Fourth Longshou!"
Before coming, Xiao Jingtian had also heard of the marvels of the Qinglong Society.
Complete missions, earn points.
Then, with the mission points, go to the Wu Gong Pavilion, the Divine Weapon Hall, the Elixir Tower to exchange for whatever reward one desired.
Although Xiao Jingtian did not feel these places held any reward he needed, after all he had half a foot already inside the Qinglong Society.
"Good! In that case, Bu Jingyun, you first take 'Great Demon God' to have a look at the vital locations."
"'Great Demon God,' after you've finished looking over the vital locations, if you're willing, you may come back and find me."
"I happen to have a mission here that can earn you a great many mission points."
Senior Xiaoyaozi smiled; he could see that Xiao Jingtian was ignorant of the Qinglong Society.
"Good! Then I'll go take a look first."
Since he had come, he would settle in; although Xiao Jingtian felt these three vital locations would hold nothing he needed.
But taking a look was hardly a bad thing.
At once he followed Bu Jingyun, left the main hall, and headed for the three vital locations.
Qinglong Peak truly was one of the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens!
Under Ximen Wudi's management, the vitality of this grotto-heaven was several degrees higher than grotto-heavens such as Water Moon Grotto-Heaven.
The so-called Wu Gong Pavilion, Divine Weapon Hall, Elixir Tower.
They sounded like merely a pavilion, a hall, a tower.
But in truth each location was an enormously vast complex of palaces.
The outer perimeter of each location was further guarded by many experts of the Qinglong Society.
Xiao Jingtian followed Bu Jingyun, still somewhat absent-minded at first.
But upon seeing the Wu Gong Pavilion, he was utterly awestruck.
"This is… a formation?"
"Or a formation that takes the Inborn as its guide and the Natural as its anchor?"
Standing outside the Wu Gong Pavilion, Xiao Jingtian was thoroughly shocked.
A heaven-reaching formation directly enveloped the entire Wu Gong Pavilion.
The formation took the Inborn as its guide and the Natural as its anchor; its might was Mo Ce.
At least Xiao Jingtian could feel that, relying on his own strength.
Even on the night of the full moon, at his peak, he would wear himself out to death and still fail to break through this great formation.
"They say this is called the Shanhe Sun-Moon Formation! It was laid by the Great Longshou based on the trends of the mountains and rivers across the lands of the Nine Provinces."
Bu Jingyun, coming here for the first time, was not as sensitive as Xiao Jingtian.
After all, the gap between their cultivations was simply too vast; yet this great formation, he had heard some things about.
"The Great Longshou is truly a divine man…"
Xiao Jingtian asked himself and knew he could absolutely never lay such a great formation; he could only sigh deeply and say this one line.
Bu Jingyun unconsciously smiled, then showed his token to the guard stationed at the palace gate.
The guard raised a strange weapon, and the great formation covering the Wu Gong Pavilion opened a small gap.
Right at the entrance to the palace.
Bu Jingyun then led Xiao Jingtian, passing through this Sun-Moon Shanhe great formation, and entered the Wu Gong Pavilion.
"This side is the Fist Arts Pavilion."
"Over there is the Leg Arts Pavilion!"
"Here is the Finger Arts Pavilion!"
"That is the Sword Arts Pavilion!"
……
This palace complex was composed of large palaces one after another.
Each palace was a Wu Gong Pavilion.
Each Wu Gong corresponded to a different Wu Gong Pavilion.
The palaces were arranged according to the lie of the land, in six tiers in total.
The four grades of Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow made up four tiers.
Above these were two more tiers — Immortal grade, and Divine grade.
Bu Jingyun walked slowly while explaining it all to Xiao Jingtian.
Within the palaces, countless people could be seen reading all manner of Wu Gong manuals.
Yet the vast majority of them were on the lower four tiers.
Upon hearing that the upper two tiers were Immortal grade and Divine grade, Xiao Jingtian was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped.
"What? Immortal-grade Wu Gong and Divine-grade Wu Gong — there are this many of them here too?"
The Immortal-tier and Divine-tier palace layers were absolutely no less grand than the four layers below.
In fact, viewed from below, the Immortal-tier and Divine-tier layers were actually even grander than the four palace layers below.
"Uh! Very sorry!"
Bu Jingyun scratched his head,
"The top two layers, I haven't been there either."
"Because those two layers, generally before reaching the Supreme Mythical Realm, cannot be entered."
"Alright then…"
Xiao Jingtian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that perhaps those two layers were just empty shells.
Otherwise, with so many Immortal-tier and Divine-tier techniques, would anyone still be able to live?
"Right! Are there 'Hun Tian Si Jue' and 'Wan Dao Sen Luo' here?"
These two divine arts were Xiao Jingtian's most treasured trump cards.
Seeing how grand this Scripture Pavilion was, he couldn't help wanting to check whether these two divine arts were present.
【Heaven-tier Divine Art 'Hun Tian Si Jue' (Remnant) is in the Heaven-tier Divine Ability Pavilion】
【Heaven-tier Divine Art 'Wan Dao Sen Luo' (Remnant) is in the Heaven-tier Divine Ability Pavilion】
Before Bu Jingyun could reply, two lines of text suddenly lit up in the sky above the Heaven-tier Divine Ability Pavilion.
Xiao Jingtian's eyesight was extremely sharp; he saw them at a glance.
"What? They actually have them? How is this possible!"
This time, Xiao Jingtian was completely shaken.
After all, this "Hun Tian Si Jue" and "Wan Dao Sen Luo" were created by his own irresponsible old man.
How could the Qinglong Society and Ximen Wudi be so incredibly capable that they truly collected these two divine arts?
Xiao Jingtian's mind stirred, and he wanted to enter the Heaven-tier Divine Ability Pavilion to look through them.
But the moment he stepped into the Heaven-tier Divine Ability Pavilion, he saw two secret manuals float right before his eyes.
He took them casually and found that on these two secret manuals,
Sure enough, the words "Hun Tian Si Jue (Remnant)" and "Wan Dao Sen Luo (Remnant)" were written.
Immediately, Xiao Jingtian began flipping through them.
These two divine arts, he had been cultivating since childhood, for at least a thousand years by now.
Moreover, in order to oppose Xiao Sanxiao, he had been living in seclusion cultivating, paying no attention to worldly affairs.
Therefore, the incantations, profound meanings, and other textual content of these two divine arts were practically drilled to perfection.
