CHAPTER 444: CHAPTER 245: I FIGHT DIVINITY TRANSFORMATION? GREAT REVENGE ACHIEVED!

On the third day at Tongming Mountain, Fang Yuan watched with wide eyes as Master Chen left the house early in the morning with a joyful expression on his face.

"What’s with Master Chen?"

She asked her Master with curiosity.

"I heard that he has made connections with Master Zheng of the Jiushan Sect..."

Her Master, seeing that Master Chen was not around, spoke a bit more boldly and whispered to her, "I heard that Master Cheng Kong has dispatched quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators to the Jiushan Sect, and Master Chen was chosen."

Fang Yuan nodded secretly; now, Master Chen got what he wished for and found a strong backing in Jiushan Sect.

Of course, he was happy.

But Master Chen returned with a sorrowful expression.

Upon returning, he sat on a stone bench in the courtyard without speaking, just staring blankly at the clouds in the sky, occasionally letting out a deeply sorrowful sigh.

Though curious, Fang Yuan dared not ask. However, among the companions, there were Direct Disciples of Master Chen, and one of them, concerned, asked:

"Master? Weren’t you fine when you left in the morning?"

"This morning... I didn’t know Master Zheng would ask us to fight against Divinity Transformation!"

"Ah? How could that be?" exclaimed the disciple, frowning deeply, suddenly glancing towards Fang Yuan and the others and whispering, "Could it be they want to use Master as cannon fodder?"

Fang Yuan and her Master lowered their heads and exchanged a secretive glance, also feeling that it might...

Be so!

What goes around, comes around!

...

"Those Nascent Soul cultivators..." Elder Yuan sighed, "Still do not trust our Jiushan Sect enough."

Inside Heavenly Palace Island of Jiushan Realm, Elder Yuan, Master Pang, and Junior Master Huang all looked somewhat indignant, but Zheng Fa comforted:

"They regard the disciples of those subordinate sects as cannon fodder, naturally they suspect others by their own measure, thinking our Jiushan Sect harbors ill intentions too."

All three nodded in agreement, only Master Pang worriedly continued:

"If that’s the case, the power of the Immortal Formation is too weak, I’m afraid it won’t withstand a blow from a Divinity Transformation, and we would fail Fairy Xiao’s good intentions."

Zheng Fa looked towards Xiao Yuying.

Xiao Yuying waved her hand and said, "Being able to witness an Immortal Formation, I still profit, just afraid I won’t be able to help much."

Zheng Fa requested twenty Nascent Soul cultivators from Cheng Kong, plus these four present, originally just enough to form a Nascent Soul level Circulation Divine Thunder Immortal Formation.

In the Circulation Divine Thunder Immortal Formation, the twenty-four people are divided into four groups, each group needing one person as the hub, the others only need to obey him.

On the other hand, only these four are the brains of the Immortal Formation, the ones who truly must understand the mysteries of the Immortal Formation.

As such, these four individuals, Zheng Fa would never choose those unfamiliar Nascent Souls—this was proper Jiushan high-tech, Zheng Fa was not that generous.

In Jiushan Realm, Zheng Fa had to control the Sun and Moon Clock, Zhang Sister had to swing the Jiushan Ancestor in a fight; apart from the three Supreme Elders, there were only Xiao Yuying or Lady Xuanhua.

Unfortunately, Lady Xuanhua is uninspiring—her Artifact Refining is top-notch, but her Array skills are mediocre, and her Thunder Skill is subpar.

Therefore, only Xiao Yuying was chosen, and it was for this reason that Xiao Yuying understood the strength of this Immortal Formation:

"Honestly, their distrust is normal. If I hadn’t truly learned this Immortal Formation, I wouldn’t believe it either... A group of Nascent Souls actually possessing the combat power of Divinity Transformation."

"It definitely can’t be compared." The main developer of the Immortal Formation, Elder Yuan, spoke, "Array skills have their limits, Zhang and I have deduced that this Divine Thunder Immortal Formation, at most, has the power of the weakest eight parts of Divinity Transformation."

Zheng Fa slowly shook his head: "I didn’t expect it to really match a Divinity Transformation, with me and Zhang Sister together, we only hope to hold off the Great Freedom Demon Sect’s offensive until Cheng Kong comes to aid."

Zheng Fa no longer hoped for a sum of three.

Being equal to two was satisfying enough for him.

That’s how it is for someone born into hardship... patchwork can still be of use.

Master Pang sighed again, "If commands were followed and they cooperated secretly, it would be good... but now, they each have their own schemes, reluctant and insubordinate, I’m afraid they might not help but rather ruin things."

After speaking, he cursed:

"I thought the disciples of Jiushan Sect were hard enough to handle!"

"Only after encountering them did I realize how well-behaved my disciples are!"

Zheng Fa and the others exchanged looks, but they didn’t have a better idea either; these Nascent Soul cultivators had lived who knows how long and were very complex in their thinking, not easily letting down their guard... To get them to unite was indeed difficult.

They could only gradually train these Nascent Soul cultivators.

...

On the fifth day at Tongming Mountain, the contingent from Jiushan Sect traveled along the Chen River, entering the territory of Chenyang County.

They had roughly twenty Nascent Souls, over eighty Golden Cores, and nearly seven hundred Foundation Establishments.

Zhang Sister led the Nascent Soul cultivators at the front, followed closely by seventy-two Jiushan Sect disciples, and then the disciples from other sects below Golden Core level.

The name of Chen County came from this Chen River which ran through the entire county; Chenyang County was a county town beside the Chen River, the town itself had nothing special, but the ferry port of Chenyang County was extremely famous.

"Chenyang ferry port, a thousand sails competing, ten thousand boats gather. Merchants like rain, goods like water, unrivaled in commerce within ten thousand miles. People from other counties often get lost when they come here."

This was recorded in the county records of Chenyang County collected by Zheng Fa, and the pride and arrogance of the writer when penning this passage left a deep impression.

But now, everything that had made the writer proud had disappeared.

The ferry port was deserted, devoid of both foreign merchants and local porters.
