Chapter 2630 - 2629
Chapter 2630: Chapter 2629
"Lin Dong, since you also have an understanding of formations, watch closely and see how much you can learn. After I finish setting up the formation, I’ll ask about your insights to see how gifted you are in formations," Tian Qiongzi said, laughingly.
Afterwards, he focused on setting up the formation and stopped talking.
He stood in the open mountain valley, surrounded by a faint halo of spiritual power, appearing particularly mysterious and solemn.
In the center of the valley, as Tian Qiongzi’s hand formed seal techniques, complex and exquisite runes emerged from the void, weaving into splendid patterns that were the prototype of the Level 7 formation "Space Transfer Array."
"Space Crystal Stone, the supreme treasure of heaven and earth, each piece contains immense power of space. If not for this Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, I wouldn’t be willing to spend them so lavishly," Tian Qiongzi sighed while carefully embedding the last Space Crystal Stone into the formation’s core.
The entire formation suddenly brightened, then returned to calm, yet the subtle spatial fluctuations in the air indicated its success.
A small-scale Seventh-grade Space Transfer Array had thus taken shape.
If it were to set up a large space transfer array to transport Lin Dong and others hundreds or even thousands of miles away, such a massive formation would naturally take much longer to set up.
Nor could it be supported by just a few Space Crystal Stones!
At least a few days would be needed, consuming over a dozen Space Crystal Stones.
However, this time, it’s merely to move Lin Dong and others from here to the Earth Dragon Palace around ten kilometers away. Such a short distance doesn’t require long setup.
A few Space Crystal Stones will suffice.
Yet, even so, those few Space Crystal Stones made Tian Qiongzi feel a pang of distress.
Having completed everything, Tian Qiongzi wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes filled with both achievement and reluctance.
He turned to Lin Dong, eyes deep with anticipation:
"Lin Dong, regarding the process of my formation setup earlier, do you have any thoughts or insights?"
Lin Dong, upon hearing this, pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "Senior’s formation is exquisite beyond compare, especially the arrangement of those space runes, which not only adhere to the principles of heaven and earth but also cleverly integrate the flow of spiritual power, creating a formation that is harmonious with nature."
"I noticed that while constructing the foundation of the formation, you utilized the force of nature from the terrain at several places. This is undeniably a profound understanding of the concept of ’Unity of Heaven and Man.’ Moreover, I sensed a subtle distortion in space the moment the formation was activated, perhaps that is the true essence of space transfer..."
Lin Dong eloquently shared many insights about setting up the Space Transfer Array.
Tian Qiongzi’s eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this.
He didn’t expect Lin Dong to observe so meticulously and gain such profound insights.
"Very good, Lin Dong, you truly are a promising talent. The path of formation is vast and profound, requiring talent, diligence, and understanding. Among these, understanding is most crucial, and it seems your talent for formations is also exceptionally strong!"
Tian Qiongzi seldom praised anyone so highly in the realm of formations. It clearly showed that he truly admired Lin Dong.
Tian Kong, having seen this, couldn’t help but sigh: "I have some talent in the path of formations too, but I’ve never received such praise from Ancestor Qiong. Yet Lin Dong has! Could he be more skilled in formations than I am?"
Yun Ruoxian and Tang Yun looked at Lin Dong, their eyes growing increasingly bright. Previously, their clan’s Secondary Ancestor had joked about letting them marry Lin Dong.
Because age was an obstacle between them, they were far older than Lin Dong, almost old enough to be his great-grandmother.
But now, they suddenly felt that age was not a problem. They were truly moved.
In the face of affection, what is age?
"Cough cough, maybe he likes older ones? Older ones can take care of people," Tang Yun mused.
Yun Ruoxian secretly said, "Among the Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, I’m not that old. Moreover, my looks and physique are that of someone in their twenties, and I can maintain this appearance for hundreds of years. I believe my appearance and physique are no worse than those celebrity stars..."
Heavenly Realm Martial Artists only start to age after four hundred years. Before that, they can maintain their peak appearance.
So don’t be deceived by appearances; although they are over a hundred or two hundred years old, each looks like an immortal beauty. Even the most youthful females cannot compare to them in terms of appearance.
As for the physique, it’s even more self-evident. Heavenly Realm female warriors, as long as they care about their appearance, can easily manage their physique to achieve peach-perfect curves, a 4A waist, and papaya-like breast size.
With their easily obtainable beauty pills, Heavenly Realm female warriors need not worry about appearance.
Thinking about these things, Yun Ruoxian and Tang Yun regained confidence.
They looked at Lin Dong again, their gazes completely different.
Especially Tang Yun, her eyes were full of charm; she had already decided that if ever given the opportunity to be alone with Lin Dong, she would try to win him over.
"If I can’t win your heart, then I’ll first win your body. Capture your billions of ’descendant progenies’..." Tang Yun’s tongue lightly licked her red lips, laughing inwardly.
What these two women were thinking, Lin Dong had no idea at the moment.
He continued discussing other insights about formations.
"The path of formations also emphasizes Feng Shui... Choosing to set up the formation here, Senior Tian Qiongzi must have deeply considered it, for this is a Feng Shui Treasure Land..."
The more he listened, the brighter Tian Qiongzi’s eyes became, increasingly admiring Lin Dong.
This was practically an exceptional talent in formations!
Just at that moment, a sudden thought arose in Tian Qiongzi’s mind.
He looked intently at Lin Dong, his tone earnest and filled with expectation:
"Lin Dong, I am a Seventh Grade Array Master. Though I dare not claim to be unrivaled today, in the Age of Dharma End, I could be considered a leading figure. Across the world, there are no more than three formation masters more skilled than I."
"I observe your perseverance and extraordinary insight. If you’re willing, I would like to take you as my disciple, sharing all my knowledge of formations with you. Would you be willing to become my student?"
Tian Qiongzi thought to himself that since he couldn’t win Lin Dong through marriage proposals, offering discipleship would be even better.
If Lin Dong could become his disciple in formations, the bond created would be stronger than joining the Tian Family as their son-in-law.
After all, even if he recruited Lin Dong, it wasn’t about marrying him to his own daughter but to the Tian Family’s Heavenly Pride Girl. The relationship was still somewhat distant.
The bond between master and disciple would be much closer!
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong was taken aback, never expecting that merely being an observer would earn him Tian Qiongzi’s favor.
Emotions swirled within him, complex and indescribable, with excitement and hesitation.
He was indeed tempted, as apprenticing to Tian Qiongzi would allow him to delve deeply and eventually become a top Array Master.
"Senior Tian Qiongzi..." Lin Dong’s voice trembled slightly, with a hint of hesitation: "Of course, I’d like to apprentice under you! But please grant me some time to consider, as I have many unresolved matters."
Currently, the Dead Soul Curse on him still hasn’t been lifted; if it remains unsolved, all would be in vain.
Tian Qiongzi laughed heartily when he heard this, patting Lin Dong’s shoulder, his generosity and patience warming Lin Dong’s heart.
"No matter; this is indeed a major decision and warrants careful consideration. However, irrespective of your choice, I will always see you as a friend. If you ever need help in the future, feel free to come to me."
"My main gate is always open to you!"
Observing this scene, Yun Che also had a gleam in his eye.
He wondered whether he should accept Lin Dong as a disciple in the Divine Talisman path?
He, too, was a giant in the realm of Divine Talismans.
And Lin Dong, having also shown talent in Divine Talismans, could even refine explosive talismans.
After consideration, Yun Che spoke: "Lin Dong, I’ve heard you say before that you’re knowledgeable in the Divine Talisman path and have even refined explosive talismans."
"I, Yun Che, though not daring to claim first place in the world in the Divine Talisman path, still have no competitors for the second spot. Like Tian Qiongzi, my gate is always open for you. Should you wish, you may anytime apprentice under me."
Upon hearing this, Poison Emperor Tang Ying seemed rather anxious.
Seeing both Tian Qiongzi and Yun Che express intentions to make Lin Dong their disciple, she naturally wouldn’t want to fall behind.
"Lin Dong, if you’re interested in learning about poison, don’t hesitate to come to me. My gate is also indefinitely open to you."
"Whenever you come, I can immediately accept you as a disciple and impart all my poison techniques to you..."
The three Secondary Ancestors were vying to take Lin Dong as their student, eager to teach him all their talents.
Watching this, Tang Yun, Yun Ruoxian, and others felt a surge of envy.
Moreover, even Aidan and Little Monarch Red Dragon experienced sour eyes.
Lin Dong witnessed this, expressing gratitude to them with clasped hands: "Thank you for your kindness. Once matters here are resolved, if I have time, I will certainly seek to apprentice and study the three paths of Divine Talisman, formations, and poison under you, seniors."
