Genius Daddy in the City

Chapter 529: Nine Songs Dragon Formation!

Even though the Patriarch of Hell looked unruly on the outside and behaved in an inappropriate manner, it could even be said that he did not look like a Tribulation Almighty at all, that did not mean that he was a fool!

It could be said that no one in the cultivation world was simple. Since the patriarch managed to cultivate a Tribulation Almighty in the cultivation world in his previous life, he was not as simple as he looked to be a compelling figure of the generation back in the cultivation world.

Although he had not interacted with Hu Meiling for a long time, the astute patriarch noticed many things that did not make sense.

“She’s been cultivating for 2,000 years. As the saying goes, ‘Humans would turn into monsters when they grow old’. Do you think she’d still be like a three-year-old child?” Ye Chen smiled.

“Hehe, that’s true!”

The Patriarch of Hell chuckled as his eyes sparkled continuously, “But then again, they say the fox spirit clan always produces beauties. That’s very accurate. Even in the cultivation world, that little girl’s appearance is one of the best.”

Ye Chen suddenly stopped walking and looked at him expressionlessly. “Let me warn you now. Don’t get yourself into troubles, given that you’re using their territory to break through!”

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

…

More than an hour later, they passed through the northwestern corner of the old forest and finally entered a mine through a stone wall. The Black Bear King stopped walking and said with great fear, “Master, we’ve arrived at the lightning pool.”

Ye Chen lifted his head and looked over. He realized they were in a medium-sized mine. There were stalactites all around them, and there was a cave approximately ten meters wide 30 meters away. It looked like a well from afar.

Meanwhile, there was a hole on the wall above the well. The hole connected to the outside world, and the moonlight seeped into the hole, shining directly on the well.

Threads of silver lightning that were as thick as earthworms swam around the well. Sparks would be made from time to time. Even though it was 30 meters away, Ye Chen could feel the surging electric current coming from the well.

“So this is the so-called lightning pool?”

The Patriarch of Hell hesitated for a moment before feeling a little disappointed.

He thought the lightning pool Hu Meiling was talking about was extremely large, but now that he saw it, he was truly disappointed.

“That’s right!”

The Black Bear King nodded and said with some fear, “The two of you shouldn’t underestimate it. Most of the lightning sits at the bottom of the well. It’s extremely terrifying after thousands of years of accumulation. Even I’d have to stay 30 meters away from it.”

“That’s because you’re a loser!”

The Patriarch of Hell scoffed and took a step forward. It was this step that seemed to trigger something, causing streaks of lightning shooting out of the ancient well and attacked the patriarch instantly.

“Damn, it’s pretty scary alright!”

The Patriarch of Hell retreated quickly in fear.

The Black Bear King laughed coldly in return of his teasing earlier.

“You guys should leave!”

Ye Chen said to him and took a step forward after he left. The situation was exactly the same as the patriarch. Countless lightning bolts gathered on him, but he was not afraid at all. He walked to the entrance of the ancient well one step after another.

The Patriarch of Hell could not help but had his jaw dropped when he saw that, “Damn, does this brat’s body have to be so freakish? Even lightning can’t hurt him?”

Ye Chen ignored his stare and covered the well with Divine Consciousness. He said with a smile after a while, “This is great. There’s actually a wisp of lightning essence consolidated beneath. It’s perfect for refining the soul.”

He looked up at the Patriarch of Hell as he spoke to this point, “Come here, patriarch. This place can help you to break through to Foundation Building.”

“I’m not doing it!

Do you think I’m insane like you?!”

The Patriarch of Hell shook his head hard, refusing to agree no matter what. He was killed by the Heavenly Tribulation during his journey to achieve immortality. He was quite traumatized by lightning.

“Alright, stop faking it!”

Ye Chen frowned. “You were an old monster on Tribulation Stage in your previous life after all. I don’t believe you can’t even deal with this insignificant lightning pool. This determines whether you can break through. I won’t force you if you’re unwilling.”

“Damn it, I’m going all out!”

The Patriarch of Hell clenched his teeth. He opened his mouth and spat a ball of green gas that wrapped around him. Subsequently, it hovered toward Ye Chen quickly. Countless lightning was corroding the ball of energy around him as he was along the way.

“Get down!”

Before he could react, Ye Chen slapped him into the well with his palm. A devastating scream that was close to sobbing came from inside. “Ye, I’m not done with you.”

“Quit your nonsense. This is for your own good. It depends on you whether you can succeed. I won’t stay here to watch over you. However, before I leave, I’ll set up a formation for you so that no one will disturb you!”

Ye Chen shook his head lightly.

The Patriarch of Hell let out a soft sigh, but he did not curse out loud. “Fellow Ye, thank you very much. I’ll be in closed-door cultivation for as long as three years, or as short as half a year. I’ll definitely reward you handsomely once I’m out!

Please take care of the Zhao family’s mother and son while I’m gone!”

“I know what to do. Just focus on your breakthrough!”

Ye Chen chuckled softly and then turned around to leave. He raised his arm and charged the formation flagd that he had prepared earlier after he walked out of the mine. He sealed the entire mine completely.

Now no one could disturb the patriarch.

He then returned to the cherry blossom forest and said to Hu Meiling, “Fellow Hu, my friend will be in closed-door cultivation for as long as three years, or as short as half a year. During this period of time, I hope that you will control your people to not disturb him!”

“I know that. Please don’t forget your promise to me too, Mr. Ye.” Hu Meiling bowed in all seriousness.

Ye Chen nodded lightly. “Of course!”

…

Shanhaiguan!

It was the first pass in the east of the Great Wall of China. It had the reputation of ‘The barrier of the capital, the beginning of Liaodong’ as well as First Pass Under Heaven!

At night during the break of dawn, a skinny figure landed on the gate tower of the pass when the sky was lighting up. Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back in his green robe as he observed the building that was known as the great pass quietly.

There was no surprise in his eyes at all. There was only a deep stun. “A formation. This pass is actually made by a formation, and it’s the Nine Songs Dragon Formation!”

He spread Divine Consciousness to cover a radius of eight kilometers. He could clearly sense the terrains of the mountains. It could be said that Shanhaiguan was like a dragon circling above the ground in his eyes.

Most importantly, the formation was activated when no one was guarding it. Someone forcefully changed the mountain range’s terrain, causing the dragon vein to pass through Shanhaiguan before the formation was set up. Dragon vein earth qi was extracted to provide endless energy for the formation.

“Who is it exactly to be spending so much effort in this?”

Ye Chen frowned slightly. Subsequently, he leaped into the sky and looked down at the entire Shanhaiguan from above. Two enormous golden fireballs were charging in his eyes.

“Break the formation, Golden Pupil Flame!

A giant beam of golden light shot out from his right eye, attacking the Shanhaiguan city tower quickly.

Bang!

The entire Shanhaiguan shook violently. Subsequently, a green halo shone and blocked Ye Chen’s golden light pillar.

In the next moment, two upside-down couplets appeared on both sides of the gate of Shanhaiguan. The couplets shone with golden gleam, and the words on them were distorted like wriggling tadpoles.

The couplet on the left was written with Come, Warrior, Fight, One, Ready, Formation, Line-up, Position, Move!

While the couplet on the right was written with Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum, Zhen, Qian, Kun!
