novelHeading to the Blessed Enclave
| ← Ch.0549 | Ch.0551 → |
Lu Xuan had never been the type who relied on fate. The Taichu Path's existence and Yan Han's plans to take him out meant that he had plans to counter such a menace for a long time now. He would've even gotten rid of it while it still had a chance to grow any larger.
Mr. Wang explained, "Mr. Lu, it is true that the Sanxian Sect does have a transportation formation leading towards the Blessed Enclave. After Liu Bowen severed the dragon's vein, however, it was rendered completely useless. We're only able to come here from the Blessed Enclave, and have no way of returning."
Liu Bowen severing the dragon's vein could've been considered the same as severing the bridge linking the worlds together. That was why the connection between the Blessed Enclave and the secular world was severed right away.
While the formation itself survived the ages, it was still rendered completely useless.
If traveling between the two worlds had been so easy, the Human Alliance would not have grown to become such a powerful regime.
Those from the Blessed Enclave would have never let the Human Alliance grow to such formidable size and power, becoming an equal to the Blessed Enclave. They've even developed the power to ensure mutually assured destruction.
However, Lu Xuan was not surprised at all. He answered, "I knew that before I came, but no matter. Just take me to the formation. I'd have ways of making it work again."
With his mastery of formations, such a feat would not have been that hard for him to accomplish.
Seeing how insistent Lu Xuan was on the matter, Mr. Wang had no choice but to nod and agree to it. The man said, "If you manage to do so, please take them back to the Blessed Enclave, Mr. Lu."
He was sent to the secular world per the sect master's orders to both locate Lu Diandian's group and make preparations for when the Sanxian Sect returned to Earth.
Things were different for Lu Diandian's group. Since they came to Earth by accident, it was imperative to send them home.
Lu Xuan said, "No problem."
The man added, "That's good to hear."
While Lu Diandian and the others were reluctant to head back to the Blessed Enclave, it became clear that there was nothing else that they could do while the two have reached an agreement. As such, the only thing they could do was follow Lu Xuan to the deeper reaches of the island.
An extremely complex formation was etched onto a huge flat ground.
Mr. Wang took a look at the formation before introducing it to Lu Xuan."Mr. Lu, this is our transportation formation."
At the same time, he was rather curious about how Lu Xuan would go about activating such an extremely complex formation.
It was worth noting that the man was unable to read the formation.
That formation had been the work of an extremely formidable master in the arts of formation in the early years of the sect, who laid it down in accordance to an ancient formation passed down from ancient times.
The destination that the formation led to was none other than the Blessed Enclave.
That man himself was not well-versed in the art of formations, so he was unable to read a formation of such complexity. Nobody knew if any fighter in the Sanxian Sect was capable of reading it. Even just replicating what they saw would've been far harder than it seemed.
Lu Xuan took one look at the formation and committed the secrets of the formation to heart. His profound understanding of formations enabled him to easily see that the one before him was a true transportation formation. It had all the required elements, with the only thing unknown being the part that mentioned the destination.
He stumbled upon that formation by accident back in his past life, which caused him to join the Sanxian Sect. Joining the Sanxian Sect was one of the rare happy memories he had of his past life.
He was about to step on that transportation formation again, he was determined to be in control this time.
He took out huge pieces of spirit stones from his Coiling Dragon Ring right away. The stones were of very high quality and held frightening quantities of spirit qi.
He placed the stones in a variety of places on the formation.
Lu Xuan incorporated his mental power into the formation and shouted, "Activate!"
The formation instantly burst into light. Glittering beams spread all over the place, turning into tornados so huge that one could almost see with one's naked eye.
"That's right. That's how it's done!"
That man was surprised and delighted. He recalled the records he read back in the sect. This was exactly what would've happened when the formation was activated.
What puzzled him further, however, was how easily Lu Xuan managed to crack the secrets of that formation.
The feat looked simple, as it was just a matter of placing spirit stones at different spots in the formation. In reality, however, the formation itself was more like a complex circuit board. Placing one stone at the wrong spot would have wrecked the entire formation permanently. If a severe enough mistake was made, the formation might've even exploded.
As such, no common folk would have dared to lay out such a formation without fully knowing what they were doing. The way that Lu Xuan did it—being able to understand the entire formation with just one look before placing the spirit stones—would have been deemed absurd.
It was only by doing so that the formation was reactivated.
Just what kind of a genius was he?
Mr. Wang was thoroughly shaken by the sight.
Had he never seen what happened with his own eyes, he would not have imagined that someone like Lu Xuan could have existed; someone who possessed an unparallel cultivation level, an unmatched mastery of swordsmanship, and substantial comprehension of the art of the sword.
He never expected Lu Xuan to have been just as proficient in the art of formations.
He believed that nobody in all of the Blessed Enclave was anything like Lu Xuan. None of them could've mastered the intricacies and essences of a formation easily just by taking a look at one.
He never thought someone like that would exist in the mortal world. A true dragon had emerged from shallow waters.
Lu Xuan said, "Come on in. If you guys wanna head to the Blessed Enclave, then come with me."
Lu Diandian and the others briefly looked at each other before going inside the formation without objections. They knew just how troubled their sect was by then, and they were not about to add to the sect's troubles.
They went inside right away.
The man immediately added, "Please be careful, Mr. Lu."
Lu Xuan nodded and performed a seal. He disappeared within that formation in the blink of an eye.
Lu Diandian's group did not manage to react in time before feeling themselves being pulled by some massive force into another space.
The scene before their eyes lit up again, as they found themselves being in an entirely different world.
The skies were blue, completely devoid of any clouds. Only the dazzling sun remained above their heads.
Majestic buildings were seen erected on a nearby mountain.
Lu Diandian and the others were delighted by the sight.
"We're really back!"
"That formation actually worked!"
"You're amazing, Mr. Lu!"
The four of them quickly began praising Lu Xuan in extreme awe. Lu Xuan actually managed to repair the transportation formation that they had not been able to use for ages and transport all of them back to the Blessed Enclave.
