Chapter 360: Chapter 230: Sword Pool Rejuvenation_2
Translator: 549690339
No matter how much the East praises it, it doesn’t change the fact that this thing is practically useless, with almost no applicable scenarios.
The Demon Suppression Hall in front of them is outrageously large, as if it was prepared as a palace for giants. Even the gigantic skeleton that is about to awaken could live in it, just by shrinking its head.
This is just one of them. There are seventy-two such Demon-Suppression Halls, as well as thirty-six Lock Demon Towers. Together, they form the Demon Locking and Subduing Formation that can make the East apprehensive.
If he could move this thing, he could crush his enemies with its weight alone. What is the need to activate it and lay out the formation?
“This formation is set up for the transmission of the family. This flaw is inevitable.”
The East did not retract its words. The idea that the Human Race gathers strength through generations to accomplish a task, has deeply touched her.
“It’s just a formation, of which I have a little understanding. I can modify this formation after it is set up.”
“This can be modified?”
“Naturally. Or rather, the original layout of the human race was a genius move. Knowing that his own knowledge was limited, he left room for modification.”
“How are you going to modify it?”
Feng Qing’an found that the East is simply a genius, there is nothing she can’t do, no matter what it is, she has explored it.
With such talents as her sister, how bad could her younger sister be? Unfortunately, something went wrong during Nan Ge’s reincarnation, causing her true spirit to be clouded and temporarily losing her memories of previous life.
“You could set up a sword pool inside the Lock Demon Tower to nurture the thirty-six Demon Suppressing Swords. The same can be done in the Demon-Suppression Hall. Of course, the formation flags could be cultivated as well. The effect is the same, only it will reduce the killing power and add a binding force.”
The East casually shared her thoughts and plans. She had seen similar arrangements and her thoughts were clear.
“Can it be done like this?”
Feng Qing’an, who had only set foot in the cultivation world, was astounded, and then he was moved.
He naturally had no interest in the Lock Demon Tower and Demon-Suppression Hall, but the Demon Suppressing Sword and the Demon Slaying Sword were another matter. However, he still had a doubt,
“If we set up a sword pool or a sacrificial flag, can it achieve the same effect? Can it pose a threat to a ghost immortal like you?”
“Of course. The modified version can continue to be blood-sacrificed with demons to enhance its power. I have seen similar ancient methods. The more demons it slays, the stronger it becomes.”
“I see.”
Feng Qing’an had to admit that he was really moved now, but one thing made him hesitate: these were the valuable possessions that the two large families had diligently acquired over hundreds of years, wouldn’t it be inappropriate to take them away on his arrival?
The Xiao Family had a simple intention when setting up this formation, which was to ensure the family’s legacy. So they didn’t care whether it could be moved or not, as long as it could protect their family’s foundation.
“What worries do you still have?”
Knowing Feng Qing’an’s concern, the East didn’t mind,
“This Cave Sky now recognizes you as the master, and they are dwelling within it. By not expelling them, you are already doing them a favor. Taking their wealth for a while, what’s wrong with that?
Moreover, once I finished setting it up, you can take and use it at will. After using it, just return it to its original place. The people of the clan may not even notice.”
“That…”
“Since ancient times, geniuses and treasures, divine weapons and sharp devices, whoever is virtuous has the right to own them. If you still have reservations, I can reveal my identity now, summon the leaders of the clans, and have them pledge their loyalty to you. Then you can use the resources of the Xiao Family without any reservations.”
The East spoke calmly. She saw nothing wrong with what she said. From ancient times to present, no matter what race, the weak has always submitted to the strong, the small clans to the big clans, the weak nations to the strong nations.
All who dare to defy, who want to show their courage, will eventually disappear in the long river of time.
Compared with the Xiao Family, even though their family has been handed down for thousands of years, to the East, whose power is concentrated in one person, the Xiao Family is absolutely weak. Receiving Xiao Family as a subsidiary is only natural. For them, this is even a blessing.
“I’ll do it myself.”
Feng Qing’an shook his head, declining Donghuang’s kindness.
He understood the Xiao family’s foundation better than they did themselves. He knew that if Donghuang appeared, the Xiao family would concede to her, even though they worshipped a City God.
But compared to a Ghost Immortal who could freely travel between the netherworld and the human world, a City God, who could only show his might in Fengtian City, seemed quite powerless.
“Hmm, you do it yourself.”
Donghuang nodded, not seeing any problem with this. Since Feng Qing’an was willing to do it himself, she was happy to watch from the sidelines. After all, it was just a mortal household, not a cultivation family, which would be truly terrifying.
“Do you want to check out Ten Thousand Demon prison?”
“No need to check.”
After Donghuang had toured all the layers, she didn’t linger here because, just as Feng Qing’an had introduced, this was a terribly flawed Demon Clan Cave Sky.
It could only be said that the foundation was good, with the potential to recover its former glory, but other than that, there was nothing commendable. After all, the Human Race had marked this place as a land of good fortune, so there was nothing else to say.
“I’m going back.”
Not long after Donghuang arrived in the mortal world, she took a large number of Taoist canon and Buddhist scriptures and left. She had overcome the heavenly calamity and, with her power reaching a new realm, the ambitions of the Ghost Kings under her command had also risen to a new level. In this period of rapid expansion, You Huang Ghost Country could not be left alone for too long.
Of course, although the You Huang Ghost Country was now like a roaring war machine, as the highest Dominator, Donghuang no longer took charge of everything personally, but delegated powers.
She no longer needed to have everything gripped in her hands. As long as the Ghost Kings under her didn’t mess up, they wouldn’t betray her.
However, even so, Donghuang didn’t get much leisure time. She had to read through the new Taoist canons and Buddhist scrolls that appeared after her long slumber.
She needed to prepare appropriate cultivation techniques for Feng Qing’an. In reality, as long as it wasn’t inferior to current techniques, it was sufficient. Some ancient ones might not be weaker than the current ones, because those who created the techniques had simplified them to the extreme, making them unalterable.
The Monarch of You Huang was preparing for Feng Qing’an’s arrival. She knew that sooner or later, Feng Qing’an would meet her requirements and she wouldn’t be able to refuse him any longer.
Yongkang, the 30th year, 12th month, Minor Cold, snowflakes were whirling
In the Longyin Academy, where the grandeur was like lofty heavens, a middle-aged man full of bookish temperament left the empty courtyard with a frowned brow. He came to catch a truant student, but found no one there.
“Where did that boy go to play?”
Right now, the person causing headaches for the teachers in Longyin Academy and making them despair, Feng Qing’an, was dumbfoundedly standing in a realm that was virtually unknown and unreachable for others, looking up excitedly at the massive skeleton in front of him. Its enormous size matched the mountains, even when sitting down.
Spirit marks echoed in waves around this massive skeleton made of pure, golden flesh, full of spiritual light.
Even though its feet were still made of rock, the spiritual flame burning in its skull was incredibly bright, even replacing the projection of the Golden Crow in the sky.
“Identify!”
[Type: Dragon Father Giant]
[Properties: Spirit, Earth, Soil, Yin]
[Potential Level: Monarch · Upper]
[Power Level: Lord · Upper]
“Hahaha, success, I’ve finally nurtured one!”
Looking at the giant skeleton that had developed intelligence, Feng Qing’an burst into laughter, his face full of joy that could hardly be contained in words. Even though the identification result was somewhat satisfactory, there were still parts of the skeleton yet to receive spirit essence. Perhaps, there would be new changes after he supplemented it.
