Chapter 48: The Five Elements Induction Formation
With Wen Ze’s beast pulling the boat, a journey that should’ve taken days was cut short to two. Wen Ze howled impatiently, eager to drag the boat straight to the meadow, but they halted at Shangyang City first. Building a sect required groundwork, after all.
Upon arrival, they split up: Ling Qi returned to the Yuan Family to rally the clansmen, while You You led the Shangyang brothers to the meadow ruins to pinpoint the spiritual vein’s location.
The moment they reached the flattened meadow, Wen Ze, the little monster, charged ahead, digging frantically while urging You You to hurry.
Though the ruins had mostly collapsed, Wen Ze guided them effortlessly to the spiritual vein. Within five days, they mapped its full scope and direction.
You You didn’t grasp the vein’s significance until Ling Qi returned with the clansmen, whose stunned faces confirmed its extraordinary size.
“A spiritual vein this rich in a mortal city? Unthinkable!” Ling Qi marveled. Such veins were reserved for top immortal sects. Yet none had noticed it, despite spiritual-rich lands sparking fierce disputes.
“There was a huge ruin here… but it collapsed,” You You admitted, scratching her head.
“Ah!” Ling Qi nodded. “The ruin’s formations must’ve suppressed the energy, hiding it from other sects.”
“Ling Qi,” You You pressed, “didn’t you say we need a formation to use the vein? Found anything?”
“The protective mountain formation.” He produced a stack of papers. “I sorted the clan’s cultivation techniques and found setup methods.”
“Already? Impressive!” She flipped through the pages—then froze. “What’s this?”
Diagrams swirled with cryptic symbols and text.
“It’s… complex. I’ve barely grasped a fraction,” Ling Qi sighed. If only their Elder still lived…
“The Huanyu Sect excels in formations. Maybe—”
“Five Elements Induction Formations? Pathetic!” Feng Rong scoffed, peering over.
“You understand this?” You You blinked.
“Obviously!” He smirked, puffing up. “I’m a Nascent Soul cultivator. Child’s play!”
“Brilliant!” She grinned. “Explain these diagrams.”
Feng Rong pointed. “Five layers—Metal, Earth, Water, Fire, Wood—interlocked to cycle energy. This is Metal, here’s Earth…”
As he detailed each seal and function, the formation’s blueprint clicked in You You’s mind.
“Still, this is basic,” he added. “A real protective mountain formation has two layers: inner to retain energy, outer to repel invaders—a sect’s ultimate shield.”
“True,” Ling Qi agreed. “Top sects’ outer formations withstand three God Transformation Cultivators’ combined strikes.”
You You nodded. “So how do we build the outer layer?”
Ling Qi winced. “Noble Lady, outer formations vary by sect and change often. The Yuan Family… lacks such knowledge.”
“Meaning we can’t make one yet,” she concluded.
“Not just the outer layer!” Feng Rong scoffed. “Your disciples can’t even handle the Five Elements Formation!”
“Why?”
“It requires controlling all five energies simultaneously!” he said. “Most cultivators struggle with two. Five? Only Nascent Souls or higher can manage it.”
“So… just draw the formation with five energies?” You You mused.
“Exactly. The spell activates once the shape’s complete.”
“Huh. Sounds simple—”
“You?!” Feng Rong snorted. “This isn’t some doodle! It must cover the entire sect! With your Cultivation, you can’t possibly—”
You You raised her hand.
Heavenly light erupted. Five colossal formations blazed across the sky, engulfing the ruins, the meadow—stretching toward Shangyang.
Feng Rong: “……”
Ling Qi: “……”
Disciples: “……”
