The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 456 - Formation Inheritance

Chapter 456 Formation Inheritance

Soon, Fairy Emperor of Light selected 36 kinds of treasures, most of which were healing pills. Although they could not be compared to the unprecedented pills he had mentioned before, they all had the effect of repairing the foundation. It could be said that he had gained something.
Without hesitation, he took these elixirs and continued to regulate his breath to recover his cultivation.
Terrifying Great Way runes densely swirled around his body. It was even more shocking than when he first regulated his breathing after drinking Ming Yue’s blood. Every tiny rune was like lightning and fire that contained the true meaning of the Great Way, flickering and releasing, contracting and expanding, constantly refining his body.
The yuan qi around Five-finger Mountain, like whirlpools in the sea, twisted and swept over. With Fairy Emperor of Light as the center, it frantically integrated into his body and cooperated with the medicinal power of the elixir to solidify his foundation.
Wisps of “immortal qi” flowed out from his body.
The reason why it was called the immortal qi was mainly because of this kind of power. Whether it was Li Mu, the others, or the extraterrestrial cultivators, they had never seen this kind of power before.
It was a power of a higher level, like gauze or a wisp of smoke. It seemed to float in the air, like it could be blown away by a gust of wind, but it gave everyone present a sense of shock and awe, as if anyone who was swept by that kind of power would be instantly defeated.
The yuan qi from the universe circulated around Fairy Emperor of Light like a storm.
The crowd could not bear this kind of pressure, so they all retreated a thousand meters respectively.
Everyone looked shocked.
They were shocked by the strength of this Immortal Emperor, who was a completely different-level being, superior to the entire martial arts system of the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy.
Time flew by.
He did not stop regulating his breath.
At this time, Zhangsun Changkong looked at Li Mu and the others. As hatred burst out of his eyes, he pulled out the long knife on his back and walked toward them step by step.
Although the fluctuations in the cultivation of the Soldier Realm had been suppressed by the invisible pressure in the Five-finger Mountain, it was still very terrible.
The horrible killing intent, like a weapon, was directed at Li Mu.
“What do you want to do?” Wang Shiyu looked over and said, “Do you want to kill my friend? You’d better think it over. Can you resist my master’s wrath?”
Zhangsun Changkong was slightly stunned and hesitated.
Before, Fairy Emperor of Light had already informed them all that Wang Shiyu was his successor. Even though he was strong, he had to be careful.
“Hoho, fairy, you misunderstood me. Your friend, young and handsome, is matchless in formations and has caused us some trouble before. I just want to get close to him.” Zhangsun Changkong smiled awkwardly and took back his long knife.
Wang Shiyu didn’t say anything.
Just now, she relied on the fame of Fairy Emperor of Light to protect Li Mu.
Zhangsun Changkong pointed to the three or four middle-aged men wearing Taoist robes with patterns and said with special meaning, “Let me introduce them to you. They are array masters of the Heavenly Deployment Sect. They have seen Li Mu’s strength before and have always said that they wanted to compete with him. You might as well get close to him. Hehe.”
In the crowd, they looked at Li Mu with hatred and greed in their eyes, and their expressions were very complicated.
Hearing Zhangsun Changkong’s words, a single-eyed, middle-aged man with gray hair walked over. He cupped one hand in the other before his chest and said with a forced smile, “Your array unit is unique. You really amaze me. I’m Ouyang Zhi, the Great Guardian of the Heavenly Deployment Sect. My eyes were destroyed just to break your array. I won’t forget your generous gift.” His words were full of sarcasm.
Li Mu was quite clear about that.
It was no wonder that even though he had set up so many formations with the help of his geographical advantage, he was only able to hold off these outer-space cultivators for such a short period of time. It turned out that the other side also had array masters.
However, this person from the Heavenly Deployment Sect was probably not very powerful. Otherwise, as the Supreme Elder, Ouyang Zhi would not have one of his eyes destroyed.
“Well, it makes sense. My formations are really powerful, which should be the case.” Li Mu deliberately put on a fake smile and said, “The way of formation is full of wonders. You are a shallow learner, so it’s normal for you to lose an eye. You don’t need to thank me for waking you up in this way. In the future, you should study more and practice more in order to avoid destroying the other eye.”
“You…” Ouyang Zhi was so angry that he almost spurted out a mouthful of fire.
Some other elders and disciples of the Heavenly Deployment Sect were also furious and wanted to kill Li Mu.
“I’m Qian Zhenyun, the Guardian of Rules of the Heavenly Deployment Sect. May I ask where you learned the mastery of formations? Which sect are you from?” another middle-aged man, who had several dragons on his face, cupped one hand in the other before his chest and asked humbly. His expression was extremely kind and his tone was extremely humble.
Li Mu said casually, “I don’t belong to any school or sect. I am just self-taught.”
“Oh, so, my little friend, did you get some formation inheritance by chance?” Qian Zhenyun said with a hint of joy in his eyes.
The eyes of the rest of the people from the Heavenly Deployment Sect were also faintly filled with a scorching glow.
Li Mu did not want to be entangled in this issue, so he said blandly, “It is probably so.”
Qian Zhenyun was even more confident when he heard Li Mu’s answer.
In fact, in the process of breaking the formation, the people of the Heavenly Deployment Sect were shocked by the tactical deployments, mechanisms, and various means left by Li Mu. Their sect practiced hard in the field of tactical formations. With this skill, they were well-known in the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy and they were also the friends and fans of many sects. Even the sects such as the Heavenly Devil Sect, Tianyi Palace, Blood Sea, Ghosts Rally, and so on all gave way to the Heavenly Deployment Sect, because they needed to use the tactical deployment, the weapon refining carvings, the exploration of the mineral veins, and the search for the spiritual veins, etc. However, they needed the power of the Heavenly Deployment Sect to establish their formation based themselves, which were different from the previous formations. It was actually from another formation school, which was superior to those of the Heavenly Deployment Sect.
If it were not for the fact that Li Mu’s cultivation was not high enough, they would not have been able to break those tactical deployments at all, which was enough to bury them on the road.
They were shocked by Li Mu’s tactical deployment, so when they heard from various parties that Li Mu was actually a native on this planet, they were more and more shocked. Then, they speculated that it was very likely that Li Mu had obtained lost tactical deployment inheritance, ancient books, or something else.
They were envious of his ability.
If he was able to obtain this complete array formation inheritance, one could imagine that the Heavenly Deployment Sect’s strength would definitely skyrocket. When that time came, it would be no problem for them to dominate the entire Brilliance Immortal Galaxy.
Just now, the reason why Qian Zhenyun tried to test Li Mu was to confirm it again.
When they heard that Li Mu did not belong to any school and was self-taught, they were surer of their own guess.
It should be known that formations were very complicated. There were strict requirements for them in terms of geography, astronomical mathematics, structure calculation, etc. How could a small indigenous man be able to learn it by himself?
“To tell you the truth, Li Mu’s tactical deployment was exactly the same as the ‘Heavenly Taoist Formation’ from the ancient manual ‘Heaven Line Formation’ on this planet several hundred years ago. If you don’t want to tell me, I can guess that you must have obtained this manual and cultivated it to the present level.” Qian Zhenyun’s face was full of grief, as if he was full of emotions.
Hearing that, Li Mu was stunned on the spot.
“What?
“Is there such a thing?”
Qian Zhenyun continued to say very kindly, “Although we broke your formation and suffered a great loss, as long as you are willing to hand over the secret formation manual you have and return it to our Heavenly Deployment Sect, our grievances will be written off. Moreover, if you are willing to acknowledge your ancestral roots and return to our sect, we are also willing to accept you as an elder.”
The faces of the rest of the cultivators from the outer domains changed when they heard that.
Some people saw through Qian Zhenyun’s trick.
Some people believed it. The Heavenly Deployment Sect indeed had a period of glory. The “Heaven Line Formation” sect used to be very famous. It was said that it used to be a formation sect in the Ziwei Star Region. Later, for some unknown reason, this branch gradually declined. In the end, it became less and less famous.
However, in any case, they had done a wonderful trick.
Two birds with one stone.
Hearing this, Li Mu couldn’t help laughing.
He was really amused by the shamelessness and hypocrisy of the Heavenly Deployment Sect.
It was clear that they were going to take away the inheritance of his own formation, and even made up such a fake story. His formation came from the old faker and had nothing to do with the sect. They were apparently trying to snatch it.
Li Mu thought for a moment then said very seriously, “How about this, I’ll give you another 30 minutes. After you think about it, make up a decent story to deceive me. If you want to get my tactical deployment inheritance, your means are a bit contemptible.”
When Qian Zhenyun heard this, he was not angry. He smiled and said, “What do you mean? Won’t you return it to us? Or do you look down on the position of elder and don’t want to join the Heavenly Deployment Sect? In fact, since you can reach such a level by yourself according to the Heavenly Taoist Array, you must have some talent in formations. Don’t be greedy. You should be an elder first. When the formation is completed and you make great achievements for the sect in the future, you’ll even have a chance to be the head of the sect. You might consider it later.”
Seeing that the man was so shameless, Wang Shiyu snorted and said, “You said that it’s the inheritance of your Heavenly Deployment Sect. Do you have any evidence?”
Qian Zhenyun said with a smile, “All the tens of thousands of disciples in the Heavenly Deployment Sect can prove it.”
“How can your people prove it?” Wang Shiyu sneered.
“In that case, Li Mu can give me an example of what he has learned that is not from the ‘Heavenly Taoist Formation’,” Qian Zhenyun said with a smile. “As long as our young friend Li Mu can tell us the origin of his cultivation of tactical deployment, how can we wrong him?”
Li Mu really felt wronged.
Where did such a group of people come from? They were so thick-skinned and shameless that they actually wanted to take away his formation. Why did he feel that things were a little bit out of hand?
At this moment, Fairy Emperor of Light, who had been adjusting his Qi-circulation, finally held his breath.
A huge change had taken place in his body.
