Chapter One Hundred and Forty Two seven Plum Sword” (1/2)

This chapter has been brought to you by me, WanderingGummiOfDoom and warlord212.

In reality, Zuo Mo was not confident at all.

He had just made forty-five child formations for the [Skyring Moon Chime Formation], there were still twenty-seven child formations until he reached seventy-two child formations. Mother-and-child formations like [Skyring Moon Chime Formation] usually had an attribute. The more child formations they had, the stronger they would be. The growth of power was a nonlinear increase dependent on the number of single child formations, but increased in a pattern of values like six, twelve, thirty six, etc.

The power of forty-five child formations, was just slightly stronger than thirty-six child formations. If he could complete seventy-two child formations, the power of the formation would be the difference between heaven and earth compared to a thirty-six child formation. It would go up an entire stage. Zuo Mo estimated that the power of a seventy-two child formation would be more than four times that of a thirty-six child formation. Of course, there were also differences in the difficulty of setting up the formations. When the number of child formation reached a certain amount, the difficulty would multiply when adding on one more formation.

However, this was not the time to consider these things. He had no other choice.

Zong Ming Yan did not have any intentions of relenting, heading straight for Zuo Mo.

Zuo Mo didn’t hesitate, raising his hand to sent out a five level multi-colored mini pagoda.

Once the Five Colored Pagoda flew into the air, it grew in size. In the blink of an eye, it was the height of a person. The Five Colored Pagoda flew into the sky above the pond. The pond below instantly filled with mist, moisture roiling. The moisture quickly rose up, reaching the base of the Five Color Pagoda. From far away, it looked as though the water was supporting the Five Colored Pagoda.

The light of the Five Color Pagoda lit up, the body of the pagoda continuously emitting countless flashes of five colored light that entered each formation.

Centered around the pond, the jade pieces, copper cauldrons, and formation nails in the ten mu formation belt lit up.

If the formation belt could have been called sparkling before, then right now, it was like a gigantic piece of gold had been embedded into the green landscape, extremely gaudy. Naturally, it received the unanimous disdain of everyone.

But when the entire ten mu of formations completely lit up in the flick of a finger, that blinding scene, how many people had seen anything like it?

No one had seen anything like it.

Such a large formation belt, it could only appear in the restricted grounds of a sect, and not just any sect. There was none like it even around the sword cave of Wu Kong Sword Sect. There was none around Dong Fu Hall. Heart Lake Sect did have one, but it had never been activated. The last time it was activated, it was several hundreds of years ago.

The densely packed crowds of xiuzhe around Dong Fu were completely struck dumb by such a spectacular scene.

Wei Sheng and Gu Rong Ping’s fight might be more profound and skillful, but in front of such an enormous formation, it became minuscule. With Wei Sheng and Gu Rong Ping’s cultivating stages of ningami, each sword energy would be seven or eight zhang. The longest would be ten zhang. No matter how magnificent they were, they could not compare to the spectacle of ten mu of formation being activated at once.

For a short moment, all of Dong Fu was completely silent.

A moment later, people slowly came out of their shock. Dong Fu instantly exploded. Several ten thousands of xiuzhe speaking at once, from extremely silent to waves of roaring, some xiuzhe that were of weaker cultivation felt their eyes rings and could not hear anything anymore.

After a while, their hearing finally recovered.

However, everyone’s discussion had not stopped. Quite the reverse, it had become even more fierce.

“Worth it! Definitely enough for me to come this far!”

“Spectacular! As expected, Zuo Mo really has some abilities, he can also muster up something!”

“What formation-seal-style? It is just jinzhi!”

… …

As everyone was sighed, the formation was completely activated. The formation belt about ten mu big suddenly changed.

A crescent rose up high over the pond, the light flashing. Inside the formation, green blue mist rose, blurring the landscape. Inside the mist, countless light rings of various sizes floated in the air, gathering and scattering like a school of nimble fish.

On the rooftop of one of Dong Fu’s residences, three people were standing together.

“Zuo Mo truly is a formations genius. Such a short period of time and he could comprehend [Skyring Moon Chime Formation], really powerful! Luckily, we did not offend him that day.” A red-robed male stared at the mirage and praised.

These three were the customers that had Zuo Mo process the Inky Black Lotus Seed.

“Humph, he’s a zhuji xiuzhe. He can only take advantage of outside forces, what can he accomplish?” The snarling man snorted.

“It’s good to have low cultivation.” The eagle-nosed man said darkly.

“You want to use force? Don’t forget that he has a powerful shixiong!” The snarling male shook his head and said. All three of them were extremely wary due to Wei Sheng’s strong performance.

“We don’t have enough people. His shixiong isn’t a bad substitute.” The eagle-nosed man said.

The snarling man still shook his head. “He’s only in zhuji. No matter how skilled his formations are, it is still limited.”

“It’s alright as long as he has talent.” The red-robed male suddenly opened. “This isn’t Tian Huan Realm, it is not easy to find xiuzhe skilled in formations. Wei Sheng might be powerful, but he is just one person. Us three brothers do not have to be afraid.”

The red-robed man held great authority among the three. Since he said so, the other two had no objections. Also, what the red-robed man said was the truth. There were many xiuzhe that knew formations, but those that could be called skilled were extremely rare. Those that had some reputation, either their price was too high, or they were unwilling to risk their own personal safety.

The snarling man smiled, and said, “That’s true. If he dares to have other thoughts, the new Black Lotus Yin Banner that we just forged can be tested.”

The eagle-nosed man furrowed his brows. “But how to persuade Zuo Mo? That guy isn’t easy to fool, and we cannot use force.”
