Chapter 440: Yan Shoujing, you have already voted!Chu Xinghe had no idea how the outside world marveled at his flawless strategies...
All Chu Xinghe knew was... Damn it, my strategies are far from flawless...
If I had known earlier that the black jade talisman was the Beast God Talisman, would I have used it to prop up a table leg?
I would have hidden it away immediately!
Now that the Great Sage has blown open Spirit Beast Island on a whim, Chu Xinghe doesn't know if the outside world is excited, but he knows that our Grand Sky Sect is making a killing.
Thanks to the elective beast taming course I initiated, now everyone in the Grand Sky Sect is a beast tamer...
Once Spirit Beast Island opens... won't we just dominate?
After all, over the years, the various forces on the Blazing Sun Continent have basically given up on beast taming techniques due to the disappearance of Spirit Beast Island.
Even if some sects had beast taming techniques before, they've mostly become forgotten relics, with no one bothering to learn them.
Only the Barbarian Tribe has stubbornly continued to study beast taming techniques.
So even if other sects had beast taming techniques before, restarting their research would take time.
Unlike us at the Grand Sky Sect... now everyone is a beast tamer.
As long as the spirit beasts are in place, we can directly cultivate and enhance our combat power... who could argue with that?
But now, Chu Xinghe knows that Spirit Beast Island can't be stopped.
What can I do? I can't just step up and say I, Chu Xinghe, refuse to participate in the opening of Spirit Beast Island, right?
If I really did that, not only would the righteous sects not spare me, but even the Demonic Sect wouldn't let me off...
After all, opening Spirit Beast Island is a major event for the entire Blazing Sun Continent.
With all seven Spirit Beast Talismans and one Beast God Talisman gathered, the eight people entering Spirit Beast Island this time have been completely confirmed.
Dou Ding was so excited, jumping up and down, that the entire Barbarian Tribe felt like it was celebrating the New Year.
However, opening Spirit Beast Island is not as simple as it seems.
Elder He, invincible in miscellaneous studies, personally explained to everyone how to open Spirit Beast Island.
Spirit Beast Island doesn't exist on the Blazing Sun Continent; to be precise, it's an independent small world. The passage to Spirit Beast Island that the Great Sage blasted open seems stable, but in reality, without the Spirit Beast Talismans or the Beast God Talisman, no one else can enter. ????à????ȪBÈŚ
So, to open the passage between Spirit Beast Island and the Blazing Sun Continent, one must enter Spirit Beast Island, pass the tests of the four sacred beasts' remnants, obtain the Spirit Beast Star Charts from them, and then use the Star Charts to set up four stable formations, creating a safe passage. Only then can the passage between Spirit Beast Island and the Blazing Sun Continent be truly opened.
Elder He sighed, thankful that Xinghe is participating among the eight entering Spirit Beast Island this time.
After all, when it comes to formations, others might have some understanding, but the formations required for the Spirit Beast Star Charts are the four most advanced formations.
Even Tantai Jing, who is said to be proficient in formations, certainly couldn't personally set up such high-level formations.
But Chu Xinghe is different; his formation skills are well-known throughout the world.
Plus, Chu Xinghe has been learning from Yan Shoujing, the world's greatest formation master, for so long. Entrusting the formations of the four Star Charts to Xinghe is a sure bet...
Dou Ding personally brought Deputy Sect Master Yan Shoujing out of seclusion.
When he heard the news of Spirit Beast Island opening, the Deputy Sect Master was utterly bewildered and confused.
When Chu Xinghe arranged for all the disciples of the Grand Sky Sect to take the elective beast taming course, Yan Shoujing, as the Deputy Sect Master, was of course aware.
At the time, Yan Shoujing even thought Chu Xinghe was going to incur a huge loss.
But now...
Although Yan Shoujing was speechless, when it came to formations, he truly had skills.
He was well aware of the matter of the four Star Charts forming four grand formations to support the passage between the Blazing Sun Continent and Spirit Beast Island, as Elder He mentioned.
"Within Spirit Beast Island, the remnants of the four sacred beasts under the Beast God are the foundation of the entire Spirit Beast Island..."
"So to open a stable passage between Spirit Beast Island and the Blazing Sun Continent, one must pass the tests of the four sacred beasts and obtain the four Spirit Beast Star Charts."
"But obtaining the Star Charts is just the first step. The second step, which is also the most crucial, is to use the Star Charts to set up four grand formations. These formations will serve as the foundation to establish a stable passage."
"These four grand formations are the Orient Loong White Tiger Formation, White Tiger Rosefinch Formation, Rosefinch Black Tortoise Formation, and Black Tortoise Orient Loong Formation!"
The crowd: "???"
Chu Xinghe looked at the Deputy Sect Master in confusion...
What the... Deputy Sect Master, aren't these formation names a bit too convoluted? They sound like tongue twisters!
Couldn't the grand formations of the four sacred beasts just be named after themselves?
Isn't it a bit ridiculous to mix and match names like this?
Yan Shoujing clearly noticed the question marks on everyone's foreheads and provided an explanation on the spot.
There was no choice... Originally, there were grand formations for each of the four sacred beasts in formations, and each had its own grand formation. But the new four sacred beast formations set up with the Star Charts couldn't have the same names as before...
So, who knows which unfortunate formation master ended up naming the four grand formations of the Star Charts in such a ridiculous way.
But whether the names of the four grand formations are tongue-twisters or not isn't important. What's important is that the Deputy Sect Master truly deserves to be the world's greatest formation master.
He is thoroughly proficient in the Star Chart Four Sacred Beast Formations.
Moreover, the Deputy Sect Master stated that with Xinghe's current understanding of formations, he is fully capable of setting up these four grand formations once the methods are taught to him!
However, the Deputy Sect Master emphasized on the spot, "Xinghe, the Star Chart Four Sacred Beast Formations are no small matter. The four formations connect the Blazing Sun Continent and Spirit Beast Island... and each formation requires a massive amount of resources. So if there's any mistake, the failure of the formation means all the resources consumed will be wasted. Xinghe, you must be extremely cautious!"
After hearing the Deputy Sect Master's words, Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up.
What?
Massive consumption? Deputy Sect Master, please quickly teach me the Star Chart Four Sacred Beast Formations!
Goodness, with Spirit Beast Island suddenly being blown open, Chu Xinghe was almost in tears.
Plus, with the Beast God Talisman inexplicably ending up in his hands, this time Chu Xinghe really had it tough.
Never mind consuming sect resources... With the Beast God Talisman and the Barbarian Tribe's beast taming techniques, our Grand Sky Sect is unstoppable.
Chu Xinghe racked his brains but couldn't figure out how to consume the sect's resources in one go.
Who would have thought the Deputy Sect Master would bring such a pleasant surprise?
Setting up formations requires consuming a large amount of resources?
Failure means the resources are wasted?
Is there really such a good deal?
Think about it, isn't setting up the formations my responsibility?
If there's a problem with the formations I set up, shouldn't I, Chu Xinghe, be responsible?
Logically, the first time resources are consumed, it's shared among the sects... but if the formation fails because of me, Chu Xinghe, shouldn't I take full responsibility...
So if more resources are consumed later, shouldn't our Grand Sky Sect cover it?
If I fail three to five hundred times... wouldn't that mean we've consumed a ton of resources?
Spirit Beast Island can't be stopped, but with the grand formations for its opening, we can heavily consume the sect's resources. How can we lose this time?
Chu Xinghe solemnly assured... "Deputy Sect Master, rest assured, I, Chu Xinghe, will thoroughly learn the Star Chart Four Sacred Beast Formations and set them up perfectly for everyone."
Seeing such a diligent Chu Xinghe, the Deputy Sect Master naturally held nothing back and taught Chu Xinghe all the techniques of the Star Chart Four Sacred Beast Formations on the spot.
Tantai Jing, on the side, was frantically giving Yan Shoujing meaningful looks.
Tantai Jing came to the Grand Sky Sect with a mission. Demon Emperor Wu Xingyun had repeatedly instructed Tantai Jing that although opening Spirit Beast Island was a major event for the world, the biggest beneficiary would be the Grand Sky Sect!
Wu Xingyun had already contacted Yan Shoujing overnight, hoping Yan Shoujing could steal the Barbarian Tribe's beast taming techniques.
But the problem is... the Barbarian Tribe's beast taming techniques are also inheritance-based... Without the tribe's direct inheritance, even if Yan Shoujing knew the techniques, he couldn't pass them on to the Demonic Sect.
So after much thought, Wu Xingyun could only choose the next best option.
Wu Xingyun was aware that opening Spirit Beast Island required setting up four formations.
And as the world's greatest formation master, if Yan Shoujing held back a bit while teaching Chu Xinghe, wouldn't that lead to Chu Xinghe failing to set up the formations?
It's important to know that each time the Four Sacred Beast Formations are set up, it consumes a massive amount of resources... So if Chu Xinghe fails, shouldn't he be responsible for the failure?
Since he's responsible, shouldn't he compensate for the resources consumed?
If Chu Xinghe fails several times... wouldn't that indirectly weaken the Grand Sky Sect?
So Tantai Jing was frantically signaling to Yan Shoujing, clearly meaning... Yan Shoujing... make sure there's a flaw in the formations you teach Chu Xinghe!
But Tantai Jing found that even though he was blinking his eyes to death... Yan Shoujing didn't make a single mistake, and the formations he taught Chu Xinghe were perfect!
Seeing this, Tantai Jing's first thought was... Has Yan Shoujing already defected?
Do you, Yan Shoujing, even remember you're a spy for the Demonic Sect?
By teaching the correct formations so thoroughly, what are you trying to do?
Such a good opportunity to weaken the Grand Sky Sect... and you just let it slip by?
Remember back then, you, Yan Shoujing, declared that with you in the Grand Sky Sect, it was doomed... Did you just defect without a word?
Even if we don't mention the shady things you've done over the years, have you forgotten about Little Cui'er from the Demonic Sect?
But no matter what Tantai Jing said, Yan Shoujing's teachings were flawless, giving Chu Xinghe no chance to make a mistake.
At night... Tantai Jing quietly found Yan Shoujing, but before Tantai Jing could speak, Yan Shoujing spoke first.
"Tantai Jing! Are you an idiot?"
Tantai Jing: "???"
Tantai Jing was dumbfounded... I don't know if I'm an idiot... but you, Yan Shoujing, have definitely defected!
