Chapter 26: One Hundred Jade Pendants, Ten Formation Discs

After a long conversation between Master and disciple, Leng Yanran began practicing the Heavenly Demon Finger technique outside the hall, while Chen Daoxuan sipped his tea, dozed off, and occasionally offered guidance.

Despite this casual approach, Leng Yanran felt considerable progress.

Five days flew by, and they finally arrived at the day Chen Daoxuan mentioned for the annihilation of the Luo Heaven Sect.

"Master, the half-month is up. What should your disciple do?"

Leng Yanran ceased her cultivation and approached her Master, ready to receive his instructions.

Not only did she have no worries about the upcoming mission to obliterate the Luo Heaven Sect, but she also felt a hint of excitement in her heart. With her current strength at the Seventh Heaven of Transcendent Realm, it was impossible for her to wipe out such a colossal entity like the Luo Heaven Sect.

Even if she could fight beyond her realm, at most, she could handle a Return to Void Realm expert, which would already be shocking enough.Updated from nov𝒆lbIn.(c)om

However, if she were to face someone at the Annihilation Realm, the gap would be too big, and it would be extremely challenging to preserve her life.

Therefore, Leng Yanran had always believed that her Master might be planning to take action personally in the destruction of the Luo Heaven Sect.

"Oh? It's already been half a month? In that case, wait here for a moment,"

Chen Daoxuan said, slightly surprised. He hadn't taken the matter of obliterating the Luo Heaven Sect too seriously. However, with the thought of the substantial amount of system points he was about to gain, he felt a surge of enthusiasm.

Calling upon the system in his mind, Chen Daoxuan said, "System, exchange one hundred jade pendants for me. Also, exchange ten formation discs."

[Ding, the total cost is 200 system points. 100 Jade Pendants (Primary Tier) and 10 Formation Discs (Primary Tier) have been added to the system inventory.]

Although he spent two hundred system points at once, he didn't feel any regret. As long as he could annihilate the Luo Heaven Sect, he would earn thousands of system points, making these two hundred points seem trivial.

Without delay, he took out one hundred jade pendants from the system inventory and placed them neatly on the stone table in front of him.

Leng Yanran, standing beside him, was a little puzzled seeing her Master suddenly take out so many jade pendants. However, knowing that her Master must have his reasons, she remained silent and observed.

"Hmm... Fifty sets of Heavenly Demon Fingers and fifty sets of Sky Monument should be sufficient," Chen Daoxuan murmured, then began to take action.

With each jade pendant, he infused his full power into it. With his realm now five levels higher than before, he was significantly stronger.

In the span of a short time, without needing to replenish his spiritual energy in the Heavenly Hall, Chen Daoxuan divided the one hundred jade pendants into two piles, fifty each of Heaven Demon Fingers and Sky Monuments.

This scene left Leng Yanran astonished. She had already experienced the power of one Heaven Demon Finger when she used it before. It easily crushed a Transcendent Realm expert as if they were a mere piece of paper.

Additionally, she had witnessed the might of the Sky Monument when her Master used it from a distance. Even a Return to Void Realm Ninth Level expert would be reduced to dust the moment they touched it, not even worthy of having their name inscribed on it.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand her Master's intention. He planned to crush the Luo Heaven Sect with overwhelming firepower! Fifty Sky Monuments, each towering three thousand zhang high, smashing down together... The scene was unimaginable!

However, there was a concern: the Sect Master of the Luo Heaven Sect, Luo Wuzhen, was a powerful expert at the Annihilation Realm. Even if she had so many jade pendants filled with terrifying power, what if she didn't get a chance to use them?

With his Annihilation Realm strength, taking down her, a Seventh Heaven of Transcendent Realm expert, wouldn't be too difficult.

Before Leng Yanran could ask her question, Chen Daoxuan waved his hand again, placing ten formation discs from the system space on the stone table.

The originally not-so-large stone table was now filled with jade pendants and formation discs.

Chen Daoxuan mumbled to himself, "Hmm... Basic defense formations seem to be carved like this. And we'll have one that can rebound attacks.

"Oh, and we can't forget about the restriction formations; otherwise, if they manage to escape, it'll be a huge loss. We need a spiritual power enhancement formation, and also one like this…"

As Chen Daoxuan continued, he engraved one basic formation after another onto the formation discs. Although these were basic formations, the ones he engraved were entirely different, with all their inherent weaknesses mended.

Even though they were supposed to be formations inscribed with only ten runes, he used thousands of runes for each one.

Fortunately, within the scope of the Heavenly Hall, there was no need to worry about energy consumption. Additionally, inscribing these formations posed no difficulty for him.

"This…

"Ten runes form a Yellow-rank formation, one hundred runes a Profound-rank formation, one thousand runes an Earth-rank formation, and over ten thousand runes, a Heaven-rank formation…

"Among these ten formation discs, Master has inscribed Heaven-rank formations?!"

Chen Daoxuan simply noticed some flaws in the basic formations and decided to rectify them by inscribing more runes to strengthen and stabilize them. He had no idea about the significance behind inscribing Heaven-rank formations.

But Leng Yanran understood.

Staring at the ten formation discs before her, each containing Heaven-rank formations, she felt like she was dreaming. Even with the Luo Heaven Sect's strength, having an Earth-rank defensive formation would already be considered impressive.

In many holy lands, the formations they could set up were at most Heaven-rank.

However, no matter the faction, setting up a high-ranking formation required countless efforts: finding suitable locations for the formation's eyes, consuming numerous materials, and finally forming the complete formation.

Using formation discs to inscribe formations could generally only achieve up to Profound-rank formations, as it was difficult to leverage the right timing, favorable locations, and human factors or use various celestial materials to assist in the formation's operation.

Inscribe a high-rank formation, and the stability between the runes could easily be compromised, leading to the formation discs cracking.

She had never heard of formation discs capable of holding Heaven-rank formations—it was an unheard-of feat!

If someone could achieve this, couldn't they just use these formation discs to launch a direct assault on the holy lands!?

"Take these one hundred jade pendants and ten formation discs with you.

"When the time comes, remember to use the restriction formations first to surround the Luo Heaven Sect. Then activate the defense formations. As for what to do next, use your discretion."

After finishing everything, Chen Daoxuan looked satisfied and raised his head to give instructions to Leng Yanran.
