CHAPTER 424: CHAPTER 236 REVERSE ENGINEERING, WOOD ELEMENT TRUTH_2

Jiushan Disciples inevitably fell behind.

This point highlights a flaw in the Jiushan system; Zheng Fa was always aware of this and had consistently sought to use simulated drills for compensation, but ultimately, they were still artificial and lacked the authenticity in attitude.

However, with the Immortal Formation Skill, things were different; it can be said that the Immortal Formation Skill allowed Zheng Fa to find a way to compensate individual bravery through organizational effort.

This somewhat resembled the difference between duels and modern warfare in another world.

Because the gap in strength among cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm is too wide...when powers clash, they tend to duel.

But with the Immortal Formation Skill, it’s different.

Although the Immortal Formation Skill is not without limits and has many restrictions, the idea of combining the strengths of many and contending against high-level cultivators aligns subtly with Zheng Fa’s vision for the Jiushan Realm.

Eventually, the name of Ten Thousand Immortals Island must truly justify itself...

Zheng Fa watched Elder Yuan’s retreating figure and pondered in his heart:

Such a wise Master deserves to undergo Divinity Transformation!

Even though he does not envy Xiao Yuying for being a second-generation Divinity Transformation.

But the desire to see one’s master excel is especially intense at this moment.

...

As a second-generation Xiao Yuying saw Zheng Fa walking toward her yard with a smile, she couldn’t help but ask curiously:

"What’s making you so happy?"

Xiao Yuying lived next to Lady Xuanhua, and when Zheng Fa arrived, Lady Xuanhua also came over, her face full of concern.

They had not participated in the day when Blood River Ancestor was subdued; naturally, they did not know that the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor was very interested in Zheng Fa.

But the matter of Great Freedom Demon Ancestor wanting to descend in Chen County was related to the great schemes of Xuanwei, and Zheng Fa did not hide it from both of them.

So when Zheng Fa arrived, the expressions of Xiao Yuying and Lady Xuanhua were very concerned, for the matter was truly significant.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Fa was smiling so joyfully, appearing not worried at all.

"Hmm, my Master has made considerable progress under my guidance, which greatly comforts my heart."

Zheng Fa said with a smile.

Xiao Yuying and Lady Xuanhua exchanged glances, feeling utterly baffled, and even somewhat felt like Zheng Fa was under too much pressure and not thinking clearly.

Zheng Fa put away the jade tube and said to Xiao Yuying, "Fairy Xiao, what is your opinion on the matter of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor wanting to descend to this world?"

"It would be best if we could stop it," Xiao Yuying stated directly, "My Master once said that Tianhe Venerable had slain several Demon Ancestors in the past, including Great Freedom... the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor probably harbors ill intentions."

Zheng Fa looked genuinely shocked by her words:

The Great Freedom Demon Ancestor had been killed by the Tianhe Venerable and is coming back to life... this is enough to alarm him.

Indeed, from what Blood River Ancestor told, it appears that the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor has been in slumber, maybe not dead but gravely injured?

What he didn’t expect even more, was that Xiao Yuying’s Master knew about this, and it seems she knew quite a bit about Tianhe Venerable and the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor...

Fairy Xiao, your background is really strong, isn’t it?

As for Xiao Yuying’s worries, Zheng Fa understood it as well—the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, having been killed by Tianhe Venerable, would naturally want revenge and might have accumulated tremendous fury.

"In this case, the Tianhe Sect must be the most anxious."

Zheng Fa pondered for a moment, then said softly.

Although it seemed like Tianhe Sect had once betrayed Tianhe Venerable, bearing the name of Tianhe, no one would dare to bet that the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor would act reasonably.

Moreover, the Demon Ancestor’s descent would largely disrupt the existing order—being one of the Xuanwei Five Sects, the Tianhe Sect would certainly be in opposition.

"I heard that Master Cheng Kong was the first to send a letter to the Tianhe Sect."

After hearing Xiao Yuying’s words, Zheng Fa set this matter aside first and turned to Xiao Yuying with a gesture of respect: "Fairy Xiao, I have a favor to ask of you."

Xiao Yuying’s eyes fell upon Zheng Fa, waiting for him to speak.

"Fairy Xiao knows that after my Core Formation, I need to craft my own Lifebound Magical Treasure... I already have plans for what powers the treasure should possess, but I’m momentarily unsure how to design it."

"What can I help you with?"

"I’ve heard that Fairy Xiao possesses numerous magical treasures."

Zheng Fa pursed his lips, looking a bit embarrassed.

However, at this moment, he also reached a critical juncture; he must determine the form of his magical treasure as soon as possible and start the refinement to strive for a breakthrough in cultivation.

In this process, besides understanding the essence of the Five Elements’ spiritual materials, it was also to understand the design methods of magical treasures.

Xiao Yuying was straightforward; a bright white light flashed from her right hand jade bracelet, and a palace with red walls and golden tiles appeared above Zheng Fa’s head.

Zheng Fa looked up, his breath catching.

Is this thing also a magical treasure?

"This is where I store my magical treasures."

"An entire palace?"

Zheng Fa was wide-eyed.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuying gently shook her head, and Zheng Fa let out a sigh of relief.

"This palace is where I store slaughtering magic treasures."

"...Besides slaughtering magic treasures?"

"I have another palace for protective magical treasures."

"As for other exotic and unique treasures, I also have a room for them."

Zheng Fa took a deep breath, suddenly understanding why everyone disliked Xiao Yuying so much—who wouldn’t be annoyed hearing this?

Ordinary cultivators would be thrilled to have just one Lifebound Magical Treasure.

But Xiao Yuying, this person, had practically created a magical treasure museum?

But considering Xiao Yuying’s Yuan Magnetic Dao Body and her background, it seemed not too surprising.

Yet in the light reflected by the treasures of the palace, Xiao Yuying’s face seemed particularly enchanting...

Seemingly understanding Zheng Fa’s envy, Xiao Yuying said, "Having many magical treasures naturally has its benefits, but a person’s Divine Soul and Mana are limited; I actually use no more than three treasures on regular days."

"These are ones I either haven’t had time to sell or find intriguing and do not wish to sell."

"Sometimes, having too many magical treasures, I even run out of places to store them."
