Chapter 2695: Chapter 2687: Elder Dianjing

Regarding the question from the female cultivator, Feng Jun was taken aback for a moment—You want to participate?

To be frank, his modification of the formation had greatly improved the conversion efficiency, and the degree of change was substantial; it could even be described as "utterly transformed."

However, he quickly made up his mind, smiled, and replied, "Our modification is indeed significant, but fundamentally it remains consistent with the core, ultimately not denying that it has developed from your concept. Therefore, I personally think... there’s no reason to exclude you."

Then he turned to Yi Jue, smiling and asking, "What does Immortal Yi Jue think?"

No matter if she agrees or not, he couldn’t express an opinion for her; this is the respect required in interpersonal relations.

Yi Jue glanced at him helplessly, answered expressionlessly, "Is it possible that only you are generous, and I am stingy?"

The formation path’s female cultivator heard this, raised her hand excitedly in salute, "Thank you, Mountain Master Feng, thank you, Elder Yi Jue."

"Hold on," Feng Jun raised his hand to make a gesture, seriously speaking, "Friends of the formation path can participate in the discussion, but the modifications by me and Immortal Yi Jue to the formation are significant, and such efforts should be acknowledged."

He considered that the modification was not just his and her credit; the Yin Spirits Bigwig and Jing Ling had also participated. The benefits needed to be fought for—knowledge inherently should have value. I respect you as the original creator, you also need to acknowledge my contribution.

"That’s for sure," the True Immortal of the formation path nodded with a smile. Anyone who has seen the before and after of the formations knows how significant the modification is, almost similar to starting anew, and with additions of personal ideas, according to the rules of the formation path, imitation is not pursued.

Under such circumstances, others willingly acknowledging "fundamental consistency within the core" shows ample respect to the formation path, and pursuing some interests is quite normal. He smiled and stated, "However, the specific division will still have to wait for the elders to decide."

"Naturally, it should be so," Feng Jun smiled and nodded. Actually, he had no intention of pursuing division; he was merely thinking of creating some Array Plates to use in the Earth Realm. If someone discovers them, he can rightfully state—I have this right!

Now since others agree to give a share, he certainly wouldn’t refuse. It’s not about being thick-skinned; rather—the improvements are substantial indeed.

Other cultivators exchanged glances, and Elder Cang Jing commented with a sigh, "Mountain Master Feng’s attention to rights is indeed methodical."

"Wouldn’t it be the norm?" Yi Jue was uncertain what exactly this statement meant, and stated resolutely, "I have brought out the exclusive techniques of spirit plant cultivation, and rightly should benefit. Whether I want to or not is my own business, but whether it should be rightfully given is a matter of principle."

Elder Cang Jing glared at her, expressing with a mixture of laughter and frustration, "I was originally supporting you two!"

Seeing everyone accepting his viewpoint, Feng Jun duly saluted, "I have many deductions to make, feel free everyone."

He turned and left, Yi Jue followed closely behind. The True Immortal of the formation path hesitated to speak, "People, may I follow inside and discuss together?"

Without waiting for Feng Jun’s answer, Yi Jue shook her head, leaving a trace of Divine Sense, "Let’s wait for the formation path elders to arrive... Meanwhile, examine the improved formation, consider the reasons for the improvements."

This was a mocking rejection from Chi Lijuo’s perspective, though she, as one of the eighteen path elders, had the qualification to say this.

After returning to the manor, Feng Jun continued to deduce the next set of magical treasures. Once the deduction was completed, he handed them to Jing Ling for refinement and entered the Bidirectional Gate, leaving Yi Jue to guard the manor.

In Yi Jue’s heart, she indeed wanted to take a look at the other side, but since he didn’t bring it up, she chose not to speak of it. She has never asked anyone throughout her life—anyway, within the manor, she still had to spend Spirit Stones for the magical treasure’s refinement.

Feng Jun met the Guardian and explained the situation. The Guardian was slightly troubled—it was not proficient with formations.

Fortunately, it did possess methods to prevent energy dissipation. Unlike Jing Ling, it was adept at deduction, and its differing approach from Feng Jun’s could still complement one another.

It only took two days to provide a new improvement plan, and surprisingly, it was somewhat embarrassed, "Approximately... about twenty-seven percent conversion rate. Take it for discussion first. I’ll think further, feeling there’s still room for improvement."

This was its distinction from Jing Ling, who would exaggerate with even slight assistance. But it increased the conversion rate from twenty-one percent to twenty-seven percent, yet was still a little shy about it.

Certainly, its emphasis on the item was no lesser than Jing Ling’s—after all, it involved the revival of spiritual energy within the Earth Realm.

Feng Jun treated the Guardian distinctively, dropping down a thousand superior Spirit Stones. "Take your time, no rush; honestly, reaching such a level, I’m already quite pleased."

These were genuine words; previously participating in the formation improvement, besides him and Yi Jue, were Jing Ling and the Bigwig; they only increased eleven percent altogether. The Guardian then boosted another six percent on this basis, truly remarkable.

Feng Jun, holding the improved plan, returned to White Pebble Beach but found that Yi Jue hadn’t been idle either; surprisingly, she was planting Spirit Plants in the manor.

Originally, after she scattered the Spirit Stones, a sudden thought crossed her mind: Could one convert the Spirit Stone’s energy into Spiritual Energy through the absorption by Spirit Plants, and then release it?

She believed that if the Spirit Plants could absorb more than twenty percent of the Spirit Stone’s energy, it would be quite significant—even if it was just ten percent, it would be fine, as the energy from other realms would be transformed into Spiritual Energy.

Of course, her greatest hope was for the absorption by Spirit Plants to exceed fifty or even sixty percent—this was not wishful thinking, but based on her understanding, Spirit Plants possess strong aggregation capabilities when absorbing certain special components.

Previously, she hadn’t tried anything similar, not only because she didn’t think of the possibility, but primarily due to the rapid dispersal rate of the Spirit Stone’s energy, which would dissipate shortly after being scattered into the soil.

However, Jing Ling provided a plan to prevent energy dispersal, though the Spirit Stone still did not align with this world’s rules, the dispersal rate was delayed to about four times longer. Feng Jun’s ingenuity couldn’t help but be echoed by Yi Jue.

Thus, she decided to conduct this experiment, because she wouldn’t return to the Spirit Plants Path for some time, placing the test at White Pebble Beach.

"A good idea," Feng Jun nodded with a smile, "but it won’t have much impact on the Insect Race front."

There’s no doubt about that, as the Insect World isn’t compatible with Spiritual Energy and naturally wouldn’t accommodate Spirit Plants rich in Spiritual Energy.

"As long as it works in Tianqin, it’s fine. I’m idle anyway," Yi Jue casually replied, "Increasing the Spiritual Energy in the Tianqin Plane, isn’t it what we should be doing?"

Look at that, even Yi Jue had thoughts of "increasing Spiritual Energy," so how could Feng Jun casually tell others that the Earth is a plane of declining magic?

"Alright, but there’s no rush for this experiment," he presented a new plan, "Shall we simulate it?"

Yi Jue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Better to go out now, Elder Dianjing from Formation Path has arrived, and someone from my Spirit Plants Path is here too...but I’m watching over the estate, so I didn’t leave."

Elder Dianjing from Formation Path is extremely famous, undeniably the highest esteemed among Nascent Soul Formation Masters, whose genius level ranks high in the entire history of Formation Path.

Just by looking at his title, you can tell—Dianjing—apart from effortlessly transforming ordinary formations into miraculous ones, many complex large formations, he can pinpoint a fatal flaw by tapping on key points.

Elder Dianjing is quite legendary; it’s said among strategic weapons below Leaving the Mountain Peak True Sages, his capability is unmatched, thus he rarely leaves the sect, not only considering his safety but also allowing time to research new formations.

Take the example of the "Energy Conversion Array" designed by Golden Core Female Cultivator; even the Xuanhuang and Yuangang sects value it highly, yet from the high-ranking views of the Formation Path, this kind of formation isn’t worth troubling Elder Dianjing.

Indeed, there’s no need to disturb him for such unprecedented formation—after all, who knows when the Tianqin might separate from the Insect World, why trouble him with a potentially short-lived formation?

This time, someone from Formation Path visited White Pebble Beach and returned with Feng Jun’s modification plan, leading to a complete stir among the Formation Path’s upper ranks, who contacted Elder Dianjing—do you have any interest in visiting Kunhao Realm?

Elder Dianjing, nearing two thousand years old, was in seclusion seeking the sensation of breakthrough—he’s a formation genius, but not so dazzling in cultivation, early formation success came from sect resources pushing him forward.

Thus, breaking through was relatively challenging, and for this reason, the sect wouldn’t contact him without urgent matters.

This time, the Formation Path upper ranks did not demand his involvement; besides being amazed by the modifications, they felt their designed formations, after others’ modifications, had increased efficiency so much it was embarrassing, hoping he could intervene to save face.

Elder Dianjing glanced at the modified formations, commented, "What a piece of junk!"

Yet after hearing Feng Jun’s modification approach, he took another look and decisively stated, "I want to go!"

Upon arriving at White Pebble Beach, he sought to meet Yi Jue, but Yi Jue indicated it was inconvenient at the moment and asked him to wait.

Thus, Elder Dianjing obediently "waited," staying at the courtyard on Tianxin Platform, leaving many cultivators astonished.

He’s considered the current foremost talent in Formation Path, renowned for his less than stellar temperament by many.

Strictly speaking, his personality is similar to Yi Jue, focused on his expertise without regard for others’ perceptions.

His temper is slightly worse, especially when faced with ignorant individuals; he avoids pretenses, swearing at those who annoy him, and swiftly resorts to action when provoked.

Speculations arose about his unusually compliant behavior, possibly feeling intimidated by the estate’s atmosphere, yet Elder Dianjing casually noted, "Someone who can modify battle formations like this... is worth waiting for."
