”Your disciple understands. Let us do as Master says,” Wang Chong said, not caring very much.
He had never been to this region before, so he was naturally not familiar with it. In contrast, his master and the Wushang Village Chief had been here many times and were extremely familiar with the area. And now that so many different factions were present, it was not good to act recklessly.
”Mm.”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man nodded and then turned to the Wushang Village Chief.
”Village Chief, Chong-er's injuries are still not healed, and there will be a flare-up around every twenty hours. In a little while, you will remain in the formation to look after him. When there's a flare-up, assist him in pacifying his disorderly Stellar Energies.”
The Wushang Village Chief said nothing, only slightly nodded.
Only now did the Demonic Emperor Old Man sigh in relief. There were many reasons that he was going alone with the Formation Elder, and the most important was that he could not let his final disciple be.
Wang Chong's injuries were much more stable, and he could even fight for an hour without any major problems. But the 'cultivation defect' of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art had never been easy to deal with. Even if Wang Chong was even more careful and did not recklessly use his Stellar Energy, he would still suffer a flare-up every twenty hours, each time suffering a pain that cut to the bone. If he were to meet a powerful foe, this flaw would become even more likely to be fatal.
This was why the Demonic Emperor Old Man had asked the Wushang Village Chief to remain.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
A few moments later, the Demonic Emperor Old Man and the Formation Elder left, their robes flapping in the wind as they departed the formation and vanished from the mountaintop. Wang Chong watched them leave before thrusting a piece of stone into the ground.
With a rumble, the stone formation was activated once more, quickly causing Wang Chong and everything else within it to vanish.
Whoosh!
Once he was hidden within the stone formation, Wang Chong sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate. Those different kinds of Stellar Energy in his body began to slowly flow through his body and out through various acupuncture points.
For Wang Chong, what was truly important was suppressing the injuries caused by the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art and sorting out the nearly one thousand kinds of Stellar Energy in his body!
Time slowly passed, and all remained still within the stone formation. Wang Chong continued to cultivate cross-legged on the ground while the Wushang Village Chief sat on the side and protected him. Around four hours later…
The Wushang Village Chief glanced up at the sky and said to himself, It's about time! A split-second later, he heard a grunt.
Turning his head, he saw that the face of the motionless Wang Chong had grimaced in pain and his complexion was paling. Moreover, cold beads of sweat were beginning to seep out of his forehead.
Swish!
At this moment, there was a soft sound as one of the veins on Wang Chong's exposed neck suddenly bulged and began to twist as if it was alive. And this bulging continued to spread across Wang Chong's body, producing an extremely bizarre scene.
”It's a flare-up!”
The Wushang Village Chief was keenly aware that this was caused by the chaotic state of Wang Chong's Stellar Energy. At certain intervals, the various kinds of Stellar Energy that Wang Chong had suppressed would gather in one place and flare up. This experience would be exceedingly painful, and in this period, Wang Chong had very little ability to resist.
Bang!
The Wushang Village Chief immediately pressed a palm onto Wang Chong's back, sending a surge of mellow and steady Stellar Energy surging into his body. This vast energy coursed along a set path to swiftly pacify Wang Chong's rampant Stellar Energy.
Whoosh!
Wang Chong turned paler and paler, and his breathing became increasingly ragged. It was clear that this Stellar Energy flare-up had reached a critical juncture. The Wushang Village Chief frowned and poured in even more Stellar Energy. White curls of energy began to steam off the top of his head.
As time passed, sweat began to appear on the Wushang Village Chief's face. The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was one of the ten great arts, and its flare-ups were incredibly fierce. Even the Wushang Village Chief had to consume a significant amount of energy.
Around fifteen minutes later, Wang Chong's breathing finally began to steady. The Wushang Village Chief exhaled and slowly drew back his palm. He had helped Wushang endure the most vicious part, and Wang Chong could handle the rest himself.
The stone formation finally returned to normal, and after some time…
”Village Chief, many thanks!” Wang Chong said, slowly opening his eyes.
