Episode 106

  In the courtyard of the Easy-to-Repair Immortal Mansion, the current Master Wanshu was feeding the two great guardian spirit beasts of the sect. The two beasts were spirited and vigilant, with obvious high intelligence and unmatched wisdom. It seemed that they had already known that the master would come to visit, and they looked at the gate of the beast courtyard. Master Wanshu only threw the immortal pills in his hand one by one towards the two beasts. If it were the middle or lower-level disciples of the sect who were here, they would definitely be envious to death! It turned out that the immortal pills taken by these two beasts were something that even the middle-level disciples had only heard of but had no chance to take.

  "Wan Shi Shu, Gao Zong Lao Lai Shi, still hasn't come to pay respects."

  "The elder has arrived, the disciples have seen the elder."

  Wan Shibo continued with his work while calmly saying, without a hint of respect.

  "Wan Shi Bo! Gao Zong Lao has been cultivating in hardship for a long time, this time because I was unable to disturb the old man's family, his crime is hard to avoid! However, you protect the respected ones, not only did you not lend a hand to help me, but also avoided the matter! Now that Gao Zong has arrived personally, how can you be so calm and composed! Is this something that can be tolerated or not?"

  "Master of the door, there's no need to be so hard on him, let's go and interrogate Feng Cheng instead."

  Gaozong elder waved his hand and said.

  "Yes! Elder Gaozong, this way, please!"

  The host stole a glance at the elder, seeing that although his breathing had not changed, yet that one thread of displeasure was quietly lingering in the corner of his eye.

  After the Beast Temple, there is another temple, only about one zhang in size, which seems to be a toy model. The four sides have a formation array protecting it, and on top of the small temple, a faint light flickers slightly. Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a magical artifact! When arriving at the front of the temple, the gatekeeper took out an object from his bag, about the size of an inch, which was a seal. On its surface was carved a purple gold dragon, vivid and lifelike. This object was the key to unlocking this temple's secret. The gatekeeper raised his hand, and the seal flew up, lightly and nimbly printing itself onto the doorframe of the great temple. At that place, an ash-colored mark about the size of a seal appeared, perfectly matching the small seal. Suddenly, at the point where they connected, golden light flashed, and the gold dragon on top of the seal seemed to come alive, opening its mouth and sucking in everyone present. In the center of the temple was a screen like a painting, with a door painted on it, which quietly opened. Several people walked out from that door. It was just a flash before they found themselves inside the temple.

  Gaozong Elder took a step and moved slightly, and he was already sitting in the main seat on the high platform in the south of the great hall, with the others standing quietly on both sides.

  "Master of the gate, bring that Feng Cheng up here."

  "Yes! With Feng Cheng."

  Before long, several people flashed out from behind the hall. The one in the middle was Shi Buzong. These people walked up to the front, and one of them said:

  "Emperor Taizong of Tang is above, we disciples have already brought Feng Cheng here."

  "Hmm!"

  The old man waved his hand, his eyes fixed intently on Shi. He saw that the person's appearance was not impressive, but rather warm and elegant, without any unusual features, yet he could stir up such a big commotion.

  "Are you Feng Cheng?"

  "Disciple is here! Please instruct and enlighten me, venerable ancestor."

  Insufficient warmth and gentle answer, looking around in all directions.

  "Tell me in detail what your master Ye Xian asked Tian about!"

  "Yes!"

  He then told his master how he was taken to the training ground, how he entered the training array, how he trained, and the pain he experienced during training. He didn't mention the puppet, nor did he mention how he escaped. He didn't mention the puppet because he was afraid of revealing too much about the puppet's abilities and his own five senses being able to perceive everything around him. If he revealed this, it would be too troublesome! Firstly, he couldn't explain how he knew about the puppet in that array, and secondly, he couldn't explain why his spiritual power was so strong during training. He didn't mention the details of his escape because he couldn't explain why his physical body was able to withstand the destructive energy when breaking through the seal and fleeing. In short, speaking too much would lead to trouble! Moreover, Chang Er repeatedly warned him that what he said was about himself, how could others know?! Absolutely do not be careless and invite disaster!

  "Do you know the law array?"

  The old man Gaozong narrowed his eyes and asked.

  "When I was young and followed my previous master to practice, the first thing I came into contact with was the Dharma Array. Therefore, as for the Dharma Array, I dare say that I roughly understand one or two things."

  Gao Zong's old ancestor heard this and was overjoyed, his face filled with delight. At that time, he was not as carefree as when he was stranded on the island with Chang'e, but he had long been prepared for such questions and answers, so he responded to each one.

  "Can you see with your own eyes the appearance of that mighty formation?"

  Gaozong's expression turned slightly tense, and he thought for a long while before asking again.

  "Returning to our ancestors' words, the disciples have seen."

  Insufficient respect, replied. As for this question and answer, Chang'er and Insufficient had already discussed it thoroughly. If you mention that you don't know, first of all, it's unbelievable, secondly, I'm afraid the masters in the sect will use the Search Recognition Method. The Search Recognition Method is cruel, once used, those who receive this method will lightly lose their mind and spiritual connection, becoming mad for life. In severe cases, they will surely die! And if you understand a thing or two about the way, some people in the sect may want to obtain this method, but dare not use it, ruining their own wishes!

  "Could this law array be restored?"

  "Although the disciple saw the formation and was delighted, after careful observation, it turned out that the formation was ingenious and couldn't be fully understood at a glance. Fortunately, the disciple personally tried the formation, and many details were already somewhat familiar! As for restoring it, the difficulty is great, but it's worth a try."

  Insufficient as this may be in recounting, it is merely a matter of grasping the hearts of all those who cultivate within the palace.

  "So you have confidence in restoring this formation!"

  "Return to our ancestors! The disciple dare not say so, but it's worth a try!"

  "You're alone by yourself, how long will it take to restore this formation?"

  "Hmm! Maybe three to five years, at most it won't be more than twenty years!"

  "According to your method, in twenty years' time, you can restore this formation?"

  Everyone in the room was filled with joy, their eyes gleaming with delight. Even the elderly High Priest Gao was smiling faintly, his face radiant with warmth. His tone also became much gentler when he spoke.

  "Returning to our ancestors, I don't dare be too certain."

  "Hmm! Alright, alright! Feng Cheng, you can go down and rest first. We'll discuss it among ourselves and then give you an answer."

  "Yes, our ancestors."

  Insufficient to follow the four repairs turned over and left. At this time, only the high-ranking elders, door masters, and two other powerful repairs remained in the temple.

  "What do you think?"

  "Return to High Priest Gao, in my opinion, it's worth a try! If you can restore this formation and add the mysterious divine formations from the various Heavenly Venerables' places, who knows..."

  The host excitedly said.

  "Gaozong elder, in my humble opinion, this matter is unlikely to be true! A small disciple of the Dharma Body Realm, how can he have such an array boundary?! You should know that this array can be said to be a thousand-year-old divine and heavenly reversal array, how can it be broken so simply?! Or perhaps this Feng Cheng youngster knows the calamity in his heart and is making up words! It's better to search his soul, then we'll know the whole story! Otherwise, if this matter is indeed as I said, all of us present will become a joke in the cultivation world!"

  "Hmm! These words are worth considering!"

  "I think this statement is unacceptable!"

  The host said in a low voice.

  "Oh! Go on."

  "Gaozong Elder, we spent such a great price to bring this cultivator to the door, just to disrupt the hidden flow of the demon's plan. In front of the Heavenly Venerables, within the alliance of the Ten Great Sects, it was just to gain the upper hand! So even if what this cultivator says is false, we will only imprison him for twenty years, with no loss. However, once the Grand Law is implemented, this cultivator will surely perish, and by then, not even a single thread of opportunity will remain. Therefore, I think that this matter can be tried!"

  "That makes sense! However..."

  "Gaozong elder, I am willing to take sole responsibility for this matter. If there is any fault or blame, let it fall on me alone!"

  "Alright! This matter is settled then. However, the beginning and end of this incident must be investigated clearly, otherwise we cannot report back to the Great Ancestor and the Elders."

  "Yes!"

  He bowed his head and left with the order.

  In the temple, another two monks said to Master Gaozong:

  "Is it proper to entrust this matter to this person?"

  "Never mind, let him go ahead!"

  "But this man secretly cultivates private soldiers, his ambitions are not small!"

  "There's nothing else, just a name for deceitful plans! Take a step back and even if there are private soldiers, what can they do? Can they fly up to the sky?"

  "It's good if Emperor Gaozong has such confidence, then we will withdraw."

  "Hmm! Go ahead. Let the great ancestor Mo worry less, everything is under control."
