Chapter 1662: Reunion with Mu Hanfeng
Chapter 1662: Chapter 1662: Reunion with Mu Hanfeng
"Ten years ago, I encountered the Holy Master, who bestowed upon me cultivation techniques and elixirs. However, I never officially became his disciple, only a registered disciple at most, and at that time, I didn’t even know his true identity. It wasn’t until six months ago that he officially took me as his disciple and taught me the Holy Court’s secret techniques."
"As far as I know, the Holy Master selects young individuals with suitable aptitude from all over the continent to teach them cultivation techniques, but in the end, I’m the only one who has been officially accepted as a disciple," Mu Hanfeng explained, not forgetting to show off a bit at the end.
"Show-off," Mu Hanyan knocked on her brother’s forehead. Only then did she realize why the last saint was so mysterious. It turned out that the Holy Master had been searching for young people with good natural talent to impart cultivation techniques to everywhere, but hadn’t officially accepted them until six months ago, when the last saint was born.
At this point, Mu Hanyan suddenly thought that half a year ago was exactly when she had just entered the North Abyss Misty Plain. Could it be that the Holy Master’s final choice of Mu Hanfeng was related to her? Could it be? Mu Hanyan always felt something was odd, but couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
"By the way, why are you here so late?" Mu Hanyan asked.
If he had come a bit earlier, she wouldn’t have had to spend three days comprehending those twelve hand gestures, nor would they have had that false alarm.
"I should have arrived earlier, but just before setting off, Master discovered a dark flow surging in the void, possibly indicating a Void Storm. To prepare for the storm, Master specifically taught me some secret techniques," Mu Hanfeng replied.
Mu Hanyan then understood, seeing her brother covered in dust, she guessed that in order to arrive on time, he must have rushed all the way without a moment’s rest.
"You should take a good rest first, don’t exhaust yourself," Mu Hanyan said, feeling sorry for him. As she spoke, she brushed away the dust on him and took out a large pile of various elixirs, stuffing them into his hands without hesitation.
"I’m fine, you continue to comprehend the inheritance of the strong," Mu Hanfeng graciously accepted the elixirs, swallowed a few, and said to Mu Hanyan.
Seeing that there was no immediate danger, everyone settled down again, preparing to continue sensing the rhythm of the world and welcoming the inheritance of the strong.
Mu Hanyan also continued to refine the Xuanhuang Stone, preparing to break through to the Sword Saint Realm. This reunion with her brother shouldn’t be short-lived, there’s time to reminisce, but the opportunity to ascend to Sword Saint doesn’t come by often.
But soon, Mu Hanyan and everyone else smiled wryly.
With the appearance of the Void Storm, the twelve Heavenly Curtain Divine Shadows in the sky quietly disappeared, probably to strengthen the barrier’s defense, as the power of the inheritance was infused into it.
With the disappearance of the twelve Heavenly Curtain Divine Shadows, the resonance with the rhythm of the world became extremely weak, making it exceptionally difficult to find the chance for inheritance.
Moreover, Mu Hanyan’s speed in refining the Xuanhuang Stone also became unusually slow, and at this rate, it could take three to five years to complete.
"The disappearance of the Heavenly Curtain Divine Shadows makes it difficult to obtain the inheritance," Ye Lanfeng shook his head and said.
"Oh?" Mu Hanyan curiously looked at Ye Lanfeng.
"The Heavenly Curtain Divine Shadows appear only once in thousands of years, so many saints throughout history have had to comprehend the inheritance of the strong without them. Many have succeeded, but more have failed. Based on millions of years of history on the Holy Court Continent, the success rate is less than ten percent," Ye Lanfeng explained.
The hope that everyone had fought hard to reignite was completely doused, leaving their hearts cold.
Even saints are like this, let alone others?
"Actually, Master also taught me an Array," Mu Hanfeng spoke up.
"Why didn’t you mention it earlier?" Mu Hanyan glanced at her brother.
"According to Master, this Array requires everyone to work together to activate, and it also carries some risks, so it should be avoided if possible," Mu Hanfeng explained.
"What risks?" Mu Hanyan instinctively asked.
"If luck is unfavorable, it might affect everyone’s bloodline, injuring the foundation," Mu Hanfeng said.
"I see." Since it concerned everyone’s safety, Mu Hanyan couldn’t make a decision arbitrarily.
"What risk should we fear? Haven’t we faced enough dangers from the North Abyss Misty Plain to now? Young Master Mu, please teach us the Array," Zhuang Ping’an and others spoke up proactively.
Having finally seen the slightest glimmer of hope, how could they be willing to give up?
"Lord Mu, when we came to the Heavenly Curtain, we had already put life and death aside. Please teach us the Array," not only them, but even the Holy Court Elites requested. Seeing Mu Hanyan address Mu Hanfeng as brother, it was easy to guess his identity.
Dantai Changqing and Wei Xiaotian, though silent, had eyes full of expectation.
Seeing this, Mu Hanyan naturally wouldn’t object. That would mean opposing everyone and hindering their cultivation, wouldn’t it?
Soon, Mu Hanfeng began arranging the Array.
"This Array consists of thirty-six Array Bases, requiring simultaneous Qi injection and merging with Divine Sense to activate. Brother Ye and a few others can complete it independently, and I should be able to barely do the same. Others with less strength can group up later and work together to activate it," Mu Hanfeng explained while setting up.
Everyone nodded repeatedly, choosing suitable teammates in their minds.
Since Mu Hanfeng said that the Array, once activated, carries risks, they naturally had to choose the closest friends they could entrust with life and death.
Mu Hanyan didn’t concern herself much with teammates but instead focused entirely on pondering the Array Mu Hanfeng was arranging. The complexity of the Array far exceeded her expectations, and despite her Array proficiency, she couldn’t make sense of it at the moment.
However, strangely, there was a sense of déjà vu, and instinctively she felt a bit uneasy.
Why this intuition? Mu Hanyan felt oddly, then shook her head; Mu Hanfeng was her brother, he wouldn’t harm her, right? It must be the series of previous upheavals and the terrifying power of the Void Storm that had left her unsettled.
Soon, Mu Hanyan cast those inexplicable worries aside.
It took a full five or six hours for Mu Hanfeng’s Array to be set up. Given the Array’s complexity and the need for precision, he was remarkably cautious.
Seeing the complex and vast Array, everyone was overwhelmed with emotion. Such an infinitely mysterious Great Array could only be conceived by the Holy Master and set up by a saint as extraordinarily talented as Mu Hanfeng. If entrusted to Shao Chengxiong, the Martial Arts Fool, who knows what would be the outcome, perhaps causing harm to all.
