Chapter 342: Ling Donglai

The moon was up high. There was a biting chill in the air while the world was silent. Everyone tightly shut their mouths, they couldn’t say a word.

Was this the power of an older grand historical genius?

From start to finish, Jibei couldn’t even withstand ten moves before losing and dropping to the ground. This scene was very funny, yet no one could laugh.

The Violetsea disciples dug him up and carried him away with frightened looks. They fled immediately afterward.

After a while, someone finally uttered: “The lunar eclipse!”

Everyone woke up from their shock. Midnight came before anyone realized. Above the stars, the full moon was covered by mist. A monstrous power began to move above the nine firmaments.

At this moment, all could feel its majestic force.

A huge star was blocking out the moon. Even though one could only see a black shadow, it was still frightening enough.

The moon gradually began to disappear!

“Boom!” Down below at the lake, a divine boat towering at a hundred meters broke through the waves. It was made from crimson jade and had a palace on top of it. The hull was covered with thick runes.

There were three big sails made from black strings and cloth that fluttered in the cold breeze.

At the bow was a rudder made from crimson steel.

An armored youth with a saber on his waist was standing on the bow as the boat headed for the holy tablet at the center of the lake.

“That’s the youngest Divine Commander in the Martial Army. He is under the Furious Marquis and the Beiming Clan and has incredible talents. He’s only fifteen years old, yet he is already a first-level Heaven’s Mandate. Outside of the eight older grand historical geniuses, he and Feng Feiyun will be the ones raising the banner of the new age.” Attendant Yu had detailed knowledge of the government’s members.

He had seen countless people and among the current geniuses, only Feng Feiyun and Ling Donglai gave him the feeling of being indiscernible.

“Only fifteen yet already a Divine Commander? It looks like he should be smart as well. What is his name?”

The attendant answered: “Ling Donglai.”

“Ling Donglai.” The princess memorized this name.

Feiyun and Su Yun were standing on Night-Day Peak, overlooking the sparkling surface of the lake below. The wind was blowing on their white robes, making the scene quite magnificent.

“You have an opponent now.” Su Yun laughed.

Feiyun smiled and replied with both arms crossed in front of his chest: “I never lack opponents!”

Su Yun warned: “It’s different this time, you should be careful.”

The boat sailed across the sacred lake. Even though Donglai was still young, he was unusually heroic. He stared at the tablet with a gaze full of determination.

“Boom!” A wave rose in the night. Two heaven-defying geniuses from the Earthchild Prefecture ambushed the boat at the same time.

They were wearing sun armor and wielded battle spears, so they must be some top talents from a sect in Earthchild. Both were at first-level Heaven’s Mandate.

The Lan Brothers aggressively roared: “Ling Donglai, you must get through us if you want to leave your name on the tablet.” Two yellow lions jumped out from their mouths. Their golden brilliance illuminated the entire lake as they rushed forward with their claws ready.

“No one can stop me from leaving my name there!” Donglai raised his saber to the sky. A slash swept by, blowing away both brothers. They fell onto the shore and continued to vomit blood.

“A soldier from the Martial Army will never kill the innocent. I shall spare your lives today.” Donglai sheathed his saber. It was clear that he didn’t use his full strength.

The boat continued forward, causing more waves to rise.

“Doesn’t look bad at all.” Feiyun smiled.

Su Yun said: “That slash earlier was only twenty percent of his strength.”

“Splash!” A maelstrom formed on the lake as the water surged and boiled and erupted for dozens of meters.

The waves and the maelstrom turned into a taiji symbol to stop the boat.

Ji Feng, in his white daoist robe, was standing at the center of the maelstrom. With a dao crest and a whisk in his hand, he looked like a young immortal.

The whisk was spinning in his hand as if it was controlling the world.

“Pure Eight Arrays Formation.” Donglai stared at the youth at the center of the maelstrom and asked: “You are Ji Feng, Senior Transcendent Daoist’s disciple?”

Ji Feng acknowledged: “You got it.”

Donglai revealed: “This formation is one of the three mantras of the Dao Ancestor. The first one is the Pure Radiant Mirror. Unfortunately, your formation looks like it still has some flaws.”

Ji Feng became serious. This Donglai was quite insightful. His formation indeed had some defects.

Ji Feng inquired: “Have you seen the true formation before?”
