283: C283 Five Elements

C283 Five Elements

A cultivator about thirty years old, who was about the same age as Yang Tian, but with a much more handsome appearance, stood in front of a stone pavilion that was almost turned into a pile of rubble. His expression was somewhat anxious, and behind him, other than a few cultivators from the same sect, there was also Yang Tian Chen who had just come out from the Cold Wind Great Formation.

After a moment, two figures flew over from the distance. When the cultivator saw that there were only two people, he could not conceal the disappointment on his face. However, he still went up and asked, "How is it? Where is my nephew now?"

Senior Martial Brother Wu glanced at Yang Tian Chen behind him, not concealing the disgust on his face as he replied, "He should be with Junior Martial Brother Zhang and the rest. I heard from the Heavenly Wolf and Spirit Opening Sect cultivators guarding the entrance of the Cold Wind Array that he left with Zhou Bei Cheng. Damn it, if he really is an array master and Senior Martial Brother Wang's nephew, then he must have given his hand to someone else!"

Spirit Master Wu's lips moved, he seemed to feel that he could not quell his anger and wanted to curse, but he saw that the expression of the man in front of him was strange. In the end, he suppressed his curse and said in a muffled voice, "I will go back and guard the Cold Wind Great Formation's exit."

At this moment, Wang Yuan's expression was also extremely ugly. He never thought that his third brother's son would have such potential and actually inherited the inheritance of a formation master.

As the direct grandson of Wang Qian, after his grandfather became the magistrate, the amount of cultivation resources available to Wang Yuan increased greatly. In addition, Wang Yuan's father's cultivation talent was average, so he was unwilling to put all his heart into training Wang Yuan. This caused Wang Qian to almost put all his effort into nurturing Wang Yuan.

This time, after hearing about the birth of the cave in Mengyu County, he immediately rushed over from Chenyu County. He wanted to compete with some of the true disciples of the Heaven Shaking Sect for this position.

Even though his grandfather, Wang Qian, wanted to break away from the Heaven Shaking Sect and establish himself in Mengyu County, the position of the Heaven Shaking Sect's Successor Disciple was not something one could simply let go of. In the past, Dao Master Wang was also a Successor Disciple, so he naturally knew that Successor Disciples could obtain benefits that others could not.

However, when Wang Yuan rushed to the cave at the Sunset Ridge, he realized that both he and Wang Qian had underestimated the value of this cave dwelling. Within the first three formations of the cave, almost all the cultivators who had not reached the late stage of the Martial Disciple Stage, including the ones he had brought, had been blocked out.

Although Wang Yuan and the rest had already passed through the Cold Wind formation and were beginning to come in contact with the exterior of the cave and gain a lot, the next formation was able to stop 90% of the cultivators that had charged in.

Just when everyone was at a loss for what to do, his eldest uncle, Yang Tian Chen, who he had abandoned in the cold lands after he had been burdened by so much trouble, actually broke through the Cold Wind Great Formation with someone else. He even brought over a piece of unbelievable news: His wife's third brother's son was actually a formation spell master!

However, the surprise did not even come. Soon after, a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. The fire in his heart was broken, and his brother-in-law had only rushed over to meet him. He had actually not brought his nephew, Yang Junshan, with him.

When he first came to Mengyu County, he didn't know where this uncle of his had gotten the information, but he shamelessly found out that he wanted to follow him. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he did not want to overuse Old Yang's family, so he gave him this opportunity.

However, along the way, Wang Yuan discovered that he had practically brought along a burden with him. He had managed to get rid of the burden of the Cold Wind Great Array with great difficulty, and not only did he manage to catch up with them, he even gave the most precious formation master nephew in the current situation to someone else!

The more Wang Yuan thought about it, the angrier he got. He could only glare at his uncle, who was incapable of doing anything!

In another cave located in the middle of the mountain, when Liu Zhifei heard that Zhang Yueming and Yang Junshan had arrived, he was overjoyed. He shouted "The heavens are on his side" as he ran out of the cave to welcome Yang Junshan and the others.

Liu Zhifei brought Yang Junshan and the others into the cave while he explained the current situation in the cave.

This is the situation inside the cave, after passing through three layers of array formations, we have now reached the outer perimeter of the cave, and the treasures of the buildings like the cave, stone platform, and stone pavilion have all been divided among the various cultivators who have barged in. This brother here brought a few seniors and juniors to occupy this cave, and use this as a temporary base to temporarily set up the array, while also pondering about how to break into the fourth layer of array formations!

"What?! There's still a fourth formation?" Zhang Yue Ming and the others were shocked, "Could it be that even with senior's cultivation, you're unable to enter?"

Yang Junshan thought of something when he heard this. Previously, after he broke through the Cold Wind Array, he had sensed something. He thought it was the connection between the first three layers of the array, but now it seemed to be the fourth layer.

Liu Zhifei bitterly smiled and said, "This fourth layer of formation is no wonder, it is just an ordinary Five Elements formation. But just like this, all of us who are in the fourth level of the Martial Disciple realm are stopped outside the formation. Only a few cultivators with the cultivation of the peak of the fifth layer are able to charge in, including the two true disciples of our sect."

Zhang Yue Ming looked surprised and asked, "A Successor Disciple from our sect has rushed over? Who is it?"

At the side, Senior Zhou said, "It's Mengyu County's Senior Martial Brother Chen's disciple, Song Wei, and Senior Martial Brother Xiong Xiying!"

Brother Song Wei is now a true disciple of the Heaven Shaking Sect. Yang Junshan's heart skipped a beat, but soon he focused his attention on Xiong Xiying, the grandson of the Xiong Family, Long Feng. The two of them had had some conflicts in the market, and Xiong Xiliang of the Xiong Family had also died in his hands.

"It's him!" Zhang Yue Ming remained silent with a relatively calm expression on her face. Behind her, Senior Martial Brother Gao did not conceal his expression, as everyone could hear the discontent in his tone.

Liu Zhifei quickly changed the topic, smiled and said, "Originally, we were at a loss of what to do. But now, with Little Yang's help, I think we can break through this Five Elements Formation too!"

The few cultivators of the Heaven Shaking Sect looked at Yang Junshan with excitement, only to see him smiling bitterly.

Five Elements Formations could be said to be one of the more common and popular array formations. Five Elements Formations had a broad heritage and had a low starting point for array formations. It was almost as if one could rely on the essence of the five elements to set up a simple array formation.

However, these five element array formations also had a very high growth rate. Although their starting point was low, they could improve as the array master's attainments in array formations increased, improve upon the details of setting up the array, improve the quality of the array setup tools, expand the scale of the array, and increase the strength of the array master's cultivation.

A single Five Elements formation could be set up with the lowest level formation, could be used as a spirit formation, and could even be upgraded to a precious formation. Even the legendary great Dao array was left behind by the inheritance of the Five Elements formation.

Therefore, within array formations, the Five Elements Array could be considered a standard to measure a formation master's attainments. They were also spirit rank array masters, and because the inheritance of array formations they grasped was different, they could set up a Five Elements Array, and see who could display a more thorough understanding of array formations within the Five Elements Array. Then, without a doubt, the master's attainments in array formations would be slightly higher.2

From the time he had entered the underground cave, the first three layers had been more powerful than the last. Although the third layer of the Cold Wind Formation was also a spiritual formation, the power and mysteries contained within it had already far surpassed the inheritance that Yang Junshan had mastered. Yang Junshan himself could pass it, but he couldn't break it.

As the fourth layer of array formation, how could Yang Junshan compare to the array that was set up by a master of array formations?

Hearing Yang Junshan's explanation, everyone looked at each other in dismay. Senior Zhou could not help but ask, "Are we just going to watch as this Five Elements array takes action?"

Yang Junshan smiled and said, "We'll have to give it a try after all. After all, senior brother Liu also said that a few peak Martial Disciple cultivators had already broken into the array. Although this Five Elements Array is created by a master, it is still a spirit grade array."

Hearing this, everyone relaxed a bit. Yang Junshan smiled and said, "Well then, let's go take a look at that Five Elements Great Array first!"

Most of those who managed to pass the third layer of the Cold Wind Great Formation were Martial Disciples of the late stage. These people were divided into several small groups, including Liu Zhifei, the inner sect disciple of the Heaven Shaking Sect, and Yang Junshan, who were part of this small group. Other than Yang Junshan, Zhang Yuming, and the other five people who were at the third layer, the rest of them were at the fourth layer of their cultivation.

In addition to Liu Zhifei and the rest, there was another group of Heaven Shaking Sect's inner disciples led by Wang Yuan. Xiong Xiying, the true disciple of Heaven Shaking Sect, had led a few Xiong Family cultivators and charged into the Five Elements Array.

Although the three small powers had their own schemes for each other, in the end, they all belonged to the Heaven Shaking Sect in name. At the very least, they were able to maintain their coordination on the surface in front of outsiders.

Aside from the Heaven Shaking Sect, there were a few other powers around the cave. They were the seven cultivators of the Celestial Wolf Sect, including five fourth stage cultivators; the Spirit Opening Sect had four fourth stage cultivators out of the six cultivators; the two small powers formed by the rogue cultivators from who knew where, each with about three or four people; and finally, the group that was the first to enter the Sunset Pavilion was Tan Xi Sect.
