Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 557: Inherited Array

Upon closer inspection, the compass in Mr. Nan Chen’s hand and the small compass in Lady Nan Feng’s hand looked almost the same, only slightly different in size.

After taking out the compass, Mr. Nan Chen looked around the vicinity.

After a moment, he shook his head in disappointment.

"It’s not in this area."

Dugu Wu’s eyes narrowed.

"Teacher, are you sure? Is another part of the ancient array inside the Red Scorpion Desert?"

Mr. Nan Chen nodded.

"I wasn’t very sure before, but after seeing the part of the ancient array in the jungle, and considering that Nan Feng also wanted to enter the Red Scorpion Sand, I became more certain."

Saying this, Mr. Nan Chen drew a pattern on the ground.

The pattern before his eyes was not unfamiliar to Dugu Wu.

It was the ancient array he had discovered in the jungle, shrouded in black fog.

After Dugu Wu discovered that ancient array in the jungle, he realized that the array had already malfunctioned and was incomplete.

After learning this, Mr. Nan Chen showed considerable interest in the ancient array and asked Dugu Wu to draw the array from memory.

Because of the good relationship between Ouyang Chenchen and Feng Bailing, Dugu Wu felt closer to Mr. Nan Chen, who then spoke with him a bit more.

Mr. Nan Chen told Dugu Wu that the ancient array was left by his teacher, Tian Jizi, and was named the Heavenly Fate Array Formation.

However, what Dugu Wu saw was only part of the Heavenly Fate Array Formation. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The Heavenly Fate Array Formation was left behind by Tian Jizi, the teacher of Mr. Nan Chen, and it was said to contain all the knowledge he acquired in his lifetime.

Although Tian Jizi had many disciples throughout his life, he always felt that none of them were capable and refused to pass on his life’s knowledge to them. Therefore, he spent ten years creating the Heavenly Fate Array Formation.

After he left the Heavenly Fate Array Formation behind, he made a pact with his disciples to select and train their own successors in various countries. Anyone who became the foremost among the Ten Countries could seek the ancient array.

Once someone comprehends Tian Jizi’s Heavenly Fate Array Formation, they would inherit Tian Jizi’s mantle.

Unfortunately, many years have passed, and that so-called foremost figure among the Ten Countries has yet to appear.

Recalling these memories, Mr. Nan Chen bitterly smiled.

"This matter is also my biggest concern, and I suppose it is for the other fellow disciples too."

Mr. Nan Chen sighed again.

"In fact, let me tell you, this Competition Among Ten Countries is not an accident. It was brought together by all of us, brothers and sisters. Although we all have disciples, we understand their capabilities very well; none can become the foremost of the Ten Countries yet. We hope this competition can sharpen their skills to become the foremost. Or that some other talented young genius might emerge and achieve that status. If so, my teacher’s long-held wish would also be fulfilled."

Mr. Nan Chen uttered with a sigh.

"I just didn’t expect to find the Heavenly Fate Array Formation left by my teacher near Qinghe City. Now, I think someone might have known that the Heavenly Fate Array Formation was nearby, leading us here."

"Senior, besides you, is there anyone else who knows about the Heavenly Fate Array Formation left by Tian Jizi?"

Dugu Wu remembered telling Lady Nan Shiu about going to Qinghe City; Lady Nan Shiu hesitated to speak, which suggested she might also know about it.

"Besides our fellow disciples, there is one other person who knows about the Heavenly Fate Array Formation—Gan Liu, who was my teacher’s attendant when he was young. Although he was not my teacher’s disciple, he was raised by and followed my teacher from a young age, learning quite a bit. Before my teacher disappeared, Gan Liu was always by his side. As years passed, we thought Gan Liu had died for my teacher. But at my advanced age, it doesn’t matter to me who among my fellow disciples’ inheritors would receive my teacher’s legacy. I just hope a suitable person can inherit my teacher’s Heavenly Fate Array Formation. If that formation, which potentially conceals my teacher’s lifelong secret teachings, were to fall into the wrong hands, it would undoubtedly cause major chaos in the world."

Mr. Nan Chen spoke earnestly.

"Teacher, there is something else I don’t understand. This matter is so important to you, yet why inform me and not Miss Ouyang?"

Mr. Nan Chen told Dugu Wu about the Heavenly Fate Array Formation, yet Ouyang Chenchen was still in the dark.

Mr. Nan Chen couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

"Chenchen is my disciple, but I know she is not up to the task, nor a match for other inheritors. If she knew about the existence of the Heavenly Fate Array Formation, her devotion to me would compel her to search for it relentlessly. But with her capabilities, if she encountered other inheritors, it would be a dead end. I’ve grown older and more selfish; I don’t want the only disciple who will bury me to die unnecessarily, so I turned to you."

Mr. Nan Chen looked at Dugu Wu unapologetically.

In Mr. Nan Chen’s view, even if Dugu Wu was limping, he was still a rare genius on this continent. If none of their ten disciples were suitable, in his eyes, undoubtedly, Dugu Wu was the most suited to become the foremost of the Ten Countries.

"Teacher truly respects me."

After hearing this, Dugu Wu remained calm.

He glanced at the vast Red Scorpion Desert engulfed by sand and wind.

The Red Scorpion Desert was vast; according to Mr. Nan Chen, the Array Map of the Heavenly Fate Array Formation should have been divided into several pieces and hidden somewhere in the desert, but how many pieces was it divided into, and where exactly were they hidden?

Mr. Nan Chen didn’t specify, so he could only confirm that a piece of the Heavenly Fate Array Formation’s Array Map was definitely in the Red Scorpion Desert.

Since the Heavenly Fate Array Formation had been divided into several parts, like the Earth Holy Seal, it was hard for it to exert its power. That meant that to find that part of the Ancient Array Map, they had to rely on the compass in Mr. Nan Chen’s hand.

Such compasses were owned only by a few of Mr. Nan Chen’s brothers and sisters, or their inheritors, on the entire continent.

Apart from the known Ouyang Chenchen, Xiao Junci, and Lady Nan Shiu’s disciple Feng Bailing, the identities of the other disciples of Tian Jizi’s disciples in the Ten Countries were unknown.

It’s likely that they too possessed a compass and were also searching for the whereabouts of that piece of the Heavenly Fate Array Map.

To quickly locate the whereabouts of that Array Map in the Red Scorpion Desert, Dugu Wu and Mr. Nan Chen decided to split up and act separately, notifying each other immediately if anything was found.

Meanwhile, Feng Bailing and others were heading towards the old lair in the Red Scorpion Desert.
