Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 125: Brief calm

Chapter 125: Brief calm

Mi Xiaojing was pleasantly surprised when he saw his Thunder Sword hanging on the Heart Tower, suspended above the substitute puppet made up of true character scripts.

The Thunder Sword hung quietly, and Mi Xiaojing immediately understood that although he couldn't nurture a magical sword, he could nurture the true character scripts within his body. This unexpected result surprised him.

Ever since Mi Xiaojing started cultivating, many strange things had happened, many of which were beyond his comprehension. After experiencing so much, Mi Xiaojing gradually got used to it.

This time was no different. When he saw the Thunder Sword hanging above the Heart Tower, he was slightly surprised. He had no idea what effect it would have, and it would take time to verify.

Being able to nurture a sword with the Heart Tower, although Mi Xiaojing was not sure about the quality of nurturing the Thunder Sword, he instinctively felt that keeping the Thunder Sword inside his body would be much stronger than storing it in a storage bracelet.

The Thunder Sword inside his body communicated with Mi Xiaojing at all times. His Starry Sky power constantly refined the Thunder Sword, and the true character scripts also refined the Thunder Sword. Both were constantly communicating with the Thunder Sword, as if Mi Xiaojing was constantly refining the sword. As time passed, the connection between Mi Xiaojing and the sword continued to strengthen.

Having dealt with his own weapon, Mi Xiaojing had no plans to go out. As long as he handed over a sufficient amount of spirit pills, he could resist the sect's organization.

Mi Xiaojing had already completed all his tasks before. He had a pile of spirit pills left in his hands, from the Qi Refining stage to the Elemental Infant stage, he had refined a lot of spirit pills needed for each stage. He didn't need to go to the Grass-Benevolence Hall for the time being.

Han Chang gritted his teeth as he sat on the control seat of the large formation. These days were simply unbearable. If the enemy attacked the formation, he would have something to do. Whether he could defend it or not didn't matter, at least he wouldn't be idle and panic.

Changing shifts every ten days, resting for one day, and then continuing to guard the control seat of the formation. It was difficult to cultivate inside the formation as all the spiritual qi was absorbed by the formation. The people inside couldn't absorb even a trace of spiritual qi. If they wanted to cultivate, they had to hold spirit stones. Even if he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how many spirit stones could he consume?

Sitting still all day and having to constantly monitor the operation of the formation, if he missed the opportunity and exposed a flaw in the formation, the punishment waiting for him would be unbearable. So guarding the formation made Han Chang extremely irritable.

Almost all the people guarding the formation felt the same way, whether they were Foundation Establishment cultivators or Core Formation cultivators, they were filled with resentment. Many people put down their own matters and ended up sitting idly in the formation, unable to do anything.

Suddenly, an order from the sect leader was passed down, and everyone had to return to their positions. The formation needed to be activated once because several elders were preparing to repair the sword formation. Due to the forced activation of the formation earlier, there were many hidden dangers. If they continued to operate the formation without taking care of them, there would be great danger, and even the collapse of the formation.

Taking advantage of the current calm, several elders unanimously agreed to repair the formation.

Repairing the formation didn't mean repairing all areas, but repairing the most crucial and critical positions. Han Chang's position was close to this area, and the most annoying thing was that he had already been guarding for nine days and was about to rest. But now, he had to continue guarding because of the sect leader's order and couldn't leave the control seat. This made him curse incessantly in his heart.

Not long after, Han Chang saw Immortal Maiden Biluo flying over, and instantly, he didn't even have the courage to curse in his heart. He obediently sat in his position, ready to test, waiting for the command from above.

As the repairs were completed and each position was tested, the operation of the entire formation became smooth.

After repairing a flaw, Yu Hong felt helpless. This was not his expertise. Among the Sword Heart Sect, Mo Chentian was more skilled in formations. He was the one leading the repairs this time. However, when they were repairing, they discovered that the most crucial part was difficult to fix.

This mountain-guarding sword formation was set up by the predecessors of the Sword Heart Sect, and their cultivation level was much higher than theirs.

Yu Hong became increasingly worried because he discovered a huge hidden danger during the repairs. The core of the sword formation had a defect, and if they encountered a powerful attack again, there was a danger of the formation collapsing.

I was too careless!

Yu Hong felt very frustrated. The other side had brought in powerful reinforcements, several Elemental Infant stage experts. If they lost the sword formation, there would be no hope of winning. They could only wait for the arrival of the experts invited by the sect, and only then would they have a chance to resist.

Once those experts arrived, it would be the real showdown with the Vast Gold Sect. For now, they could only defend and not attack.

Guarding the formation was a very boring task. After a long time, not to mention the other cultivators of the sect, even these Core Formation old fellows were extremely restless because guarding the formation delayed their cultivation, which was something they couldn't bear.Yu Hong regretted deeply in his heart. For a single demon spirit, he had unintentionally destroyed a sect. If it had been completely annihilated, it would have been fine. But instead, he had attracted a group of revenge-seeking madmen, creating a situation where neither side would give up until the other was dead.

He was also quite helpless. If possible, he would prefer to kill all the remaining experts of the Vast Gold Sect, so as to permanently solve the problem.

After calculating, Yu Hong couldn't help but sigh. He simply couldn't achieve this at the moment. Fortunately, he had already recovered his cultivation level, otherwise, it would be even more unbearable. He had already sent out invitations, but there was not a single response. The elders in his sect each had their own duties and tasks, and they simply couldn't leave the sect.

For now, they had to endure. They were suffering, and so was the other party. It was a matter of who could endure longer. After all, the Heart Sect relied on the sect and had enough resources to contend with the other party.

Fortunately, the situation had stabilized, and they could slowly fight against the other party.

Yu Hong was, after all, an expert. He quickly regained his strength, no longer worrying, and his face was full of calmness. He looked confident, knowing very well that others could worry and fear, but he absolutely could not. If even he lost confidence, it would be even worse for the others.

In the sect, it was still bearable for the low-level cultivators. The only inconvenience was that it was not easy for them to go out. However, the cultivators who were at the Foundation Establishment stage and above and were defending the formation were truly suffering to the extreme. Many cultivators had to use Spirit Stones to cultivate. Fortunately, the sect would distribute some Spirit Stones to those defending the formation, which could slightly compensate for their loss.

Cultivators like Han Chang were suffering more. He didn't have many Spirit Stones to begin with, and while defending the formation, his consumption was greater than his gain. He had no place to replenish his resources. If he went out to fight, he might be able to rob some, but now he couldn't get anything, and his mood was naturally extremely bad.
