The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 947 - 297: Is This the Person You Entrusted the Imaging Stone To?
It was expected that the materials for crafting the Tri-color Array had been fully procured, so hearing this news now wasn’t much of a surprise.
"There’s another matter... a bit tricky." Mo Xingjian suddenly looked seriously at Zhou Qing.
"What is it?"
"Your uncle-master Gao Xuan has come out of seclusion early."
Zhou Qing’s expression changed slightly.
Sikong Yan had already sent two Imaging Stones regarding Nannan, explicitly stating he wanted to play a game concerning familial and sect relationships.
"Did you give him the Imaging Stone?" Zhou Qing asked urgently.
Mo Xingjian shook his head, "Of course not. But how can this be hidden? Sikong Yan will definitely send new Imaging Stones, not to mention they have other means of communication."
Zhou Qing frowned in contemplation and asked again, "Did he break through to Divinity Transformation Perfection?"
Mo Xingjian nodded gently, "In the Taiqing Sect, he is everyone’s senior brother, junior brother, master, the leader of a peak; everyone treats him as if he were a true relative." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"Especially the Yin Spirit Stone you brought from the first coffin, it helped him break through his bottleneck and advance perfectly."
"But now facing a resurrected daughter, plus Sikong Yan’s twisted playfulness... even I can’t fathom what choice he might make."
Mo Xingjian’s voice was low, his eyes full of worry.
A trace of agitation flickered through Zhou Qing’s eyes: after a brief thought, he said, "I’ll go talk to Sikong Yan!"
Hearing this, Mo Xingjian immediately became anxious and quickly stopped him, "Are you crazy!"
"Master, I’ve broken through to the late stage of the Divinity Transformation Realm." Zhou Qing chuckled softly, a quiet aura releasing from his fingertips.
When Mo Xingjian felt this pressure, he paused briefly, his face breaking into a joyful smile.
As expected of Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, these people have lived nearly two thousand years, only breaking through from the late stage to the Realm of Perfection with the help of the Yin Spirit Stone not long ago.
But Zhou Qing, at less than forty years old, has reached a realm many aspire to all their lives.
The future need not be mentioned.
But the more this is the case, the more he can’t let Zhou Qing take risks.
"He is a madman; even if you can leap stages in battle, two fists are hard to match four hands!" Mo Xingjian quickly said.
If in Cangyan Daoist Palace there was a future peerless genius who could bring danger to the sect, coming alone to the Taiqing Sect, he believed that with the temperament of the Sect Leader senior brother, he might still do something.
Let alone Sikong Yan, who plays by no rules.
Don’t forget, the Cangyan Daoist Palace also has nearly ten Supreme Elders and numerous elders in the middle and late stages of Divinity Transformation.
"But—" Zhou Qing wanted to argue.
"No buts!" Mo Xingjian interrupted firmly, "If we must choose, the Taiqing Sect would rather lose Gao Xuan and even become his enemy than let you take risks!"
Seeing Zhou Qing still unwilling, Mo Xingjian simply forced him to vow not to go to Cangyan Daoist Palace privately, only then was he slightly relieved.
After Zhou Qing left, Mo Xingjian didn’t dare delay for a moment, hurriedly seeking out Cao Zhengyang to discuss countermeasures.
...
And as Zhou Qing had just returned to his residence, Cao Zhengyang burst in with a beaming face.
"The materials you requested are not easy to find," he said with a cheerful smile, taking out a Storage Bag, "but we finally fulfilled the task, all gathered for you."
"Thank you, Uncle-Master," Zhou Qing said respectfully, bowing.
"No need to be so formal," Cao Zhengyang waved his hand, his eyes flashing with excitement, "A Tri-color Sect Protection Array! Which Sect Leader throughout history could have such an honor? Just thinking about it is thrilling!"
Seeing Zhou Qing’s embarrassed look, he suddenly adopted a serious tone, "Given the current strange situation in the Eastern Domain, why not begin crafting immediately?"
"So urgent?" Zhou Qing was startled.
"It concerns the safety of the sect, better sooner than later!" Cao Zhengyang said earnestly, adding with an implication, "As for Gao Xuan and the Golden Thunder Sect... we old bones will handle it."
Before Zhou Qing could decline, this Sect Leader solemnly bowed with hands clasped.
Startled, Zhou Qing hurriedly supported him, "Uncle-Master, you honor me too much! This array is originally proposed by this disciple; I will certainly do my utmost!"
Only then did Cao Zhengyang brighten, "That’s good, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first. You should start early too!"
With that, after a few earnest reminders, he left.
As the courtyard gate closed, the smile on Cao Zhengyang’s face instantly turned heavy.
He gazed solemnly at Mo Xingjian, who was peeking not far away, and the two silently slipped into the shadows.
"How is it?" Mo Xingjian asked in a low voice.
Cao Zhengyang replied gravely, "He should calm down and focus on crafting, but he can’t help feeling uneasy. Later, I’ll call old Liu over; these two kids are kindred spirits and can play together."
Mo Xingjian nodded, brows slightly furrowed, "That’s good. In today’s situation, whether it’s Gao Xuan, the Golden Thunder Sect, or the Cangyan Daoist Palace, none can afford him to be distracted or take risks."
Cao Zhengyang said, "I know that, now that Zhou Qing has broken through to the late stage of the Divinity Transformation Realm, and is himself a Three-color Array Master, such a good sapling as long as it doesn’t die young, is destined to become a towering tree in the future."
"And you and I, and everyone else..." Cao Zhengyang’s voice gradually lowered, yet it carried an undeniable determination.
"We are to be the rocks that protect his roots, even if struck by thunder, we must not let him lose his foundation."
...
In the quiet chamber, Zhou Qing looked at the Storage Bag in front of him, anxious.
But after thinking about it, he decided to start crafting.
Now having stepped into the late stage of the Divinity Transformation Realm, whether in spiritual power or spiritual strength, he far surpassed before.
At most, it should take about two years to craft the "Circulation Star Dou Array."
Once the new array is completed, the previous Bicolor Sect Protection Array can be given to the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect.
At that time, Taiqing Sect, the Phecda Sect, and the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect will form a tripartite alliance, standing guard for each other.
Even if changes occur, they can support each other and advance or retreat with reason.
