Meanwhile, whenever there was a chance, Mo Hua began the calculations for the section of the Large Formation's Formation Pivot that Mr. Zhuang had pointed out on the mountainside.
Searching within the ever-rotating Formation Pivot for that constantly shifting Life-gate...
By the time Mo Hua had observed enough and honed his calculation skills thoroughly,
Mr. Zhuang called over Sect Leader Liao and instructed,
"We are well-rested now, you can fulfill the agreement."
Sect Leader Liao was taken aback.
The agreement...
Naturally, it referred to the arrangement of allowing Mr. Zhuang's disciple to learn the Five Element Ultimate Formation.
Sect Leader Liao said with a smile, "There is still time, Elder could rest a few more days while I consult with the Inner Gate Elders again..."
Mr. Zhuang said indifferently,
"What I have just said was a notification, not a discussion."
Sect Leader Liao, thick-faced, still wanted to make excuses, but suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Looking up, he saw Mr. Zhuang's gaze withdrawn, his entire presence like an unparalleled sharp sword, his aura majestic and peerless.
There was no fluctuation of Spiritual Power, no trace of Spell use.
But there was an extremely strong oppressive feeling.
Rendering him utterly unable to harbor any thoughts of resistance.
In Mr. Zhuang's eyes seemed to lurk thousands of sword glints, as if capable of directly piercing through Sect Leader Liao's veil of secrets, causing his heart to tremble and making him lower his head, unable to look him in the eye.
A moment later, everything dissipated like smoke and clouds.
No might, no pressure.
The breeze blew gently as if nothing had ever happened.
But Sect Leader Liao was drenched in cold sweat, his voice trembling,
"Elder, please calm your anger, I will... report back to the Chief Elder right away..."
...
Sect Leader Liao left in a state of panic and soon reported the matter to the Chief Elder in the cave dwelling behind the mountain.
The Chief Elder slammed the table in anger, "This is outrageous!"
"The pressure of Divine Sense!"
"Do they really think the Five Elements Sect is without capable people?!"
Sect Leader Liao thought to himself, isn't our Five Elements Sect exactly without capable people... but he harbored not a hint of resentment.
He just didn't understand.
How could a person without Spiritual Power and a shattered Sea of Consciousness exert such a terrifying Divine Sense pressure?
It seemed that without lifting a finger, just one look was enough to shatter his courage and kill him!
Sect Leader Liao was deeply frightened.
This was when that person was down and out, with only a tenth of his Cultivation and power. If he were in his prime, what an overpowering presence he must have had...
No wonder so many people, in their efforts to deal with him, had to be extremely careful and use all their wits...
This person was truly fearsome!
Sect Leader Liao calmed his mind and asked about the crux of the matter,
"Chief Elder, what should we do now?"
The Chief Elder glanced at Sect Leader Liao with an emotionless face, but felt irritated inside:
"The moment something happens, you ask what to do. Do you look anything like a Sect Leader at all?"
"How can you shoulder great responsibilities and revitalize the Five Elements Sect in this manner?"
The Chief Elder said, "Postpone..."
Before he could finish, Sect Leader Liao interjected with a wry smile, "We can't postpone any longer..."
Just one look from that person is enough to make me tremble in fear.
If we keep delaying and he looks at me a few more times, my courage might not shatter, but my Taoist Heart might.
How can we dare to delay further?
The Chief Elder frowned.
Sect Leader Liao stood to the side, holding his breath, and after a long moment said slowly,
"Why not just let them learn?"
"No way!"
The Chief Elder firmly replied.
He looked at Sect Leader Liao with an icy gaze, "We must never allow them to learn!"
