"The Mirror Flower Water Moon Formation?"

Lin Jinglong appeared in front of the core of the council hall.

He asked Zhongli Xiu, "What's the deal with this formation?"

Zhong Lixiu turned around and looked at the young man behind her.

At first, I was on guard, but I quickly relaxed.

A playful smile appeared on his face as he remarked, "Lin Jinglong, back when you first came to this council hall, you were just a young man at the Martial Emperor level. I never imagined that in such a short time, you would become one of the world's top experts!"

"Forget these formalities, let's start by talking about what your 'Mirror Flower Water Moon Formation' is all about."

Lin Jinglong asked Zhong Lixiu.

He nodded, and then began to explain to Lin Jinglong.

According to Zhong Lixiu, this formation is not one of the immortal formations that the Elders Council has ever mastered, but rather comes from a lineage called Fengqing Temple.

"Fengqing Temple is skilled in formations and is one of the hidden ancient martial arts forces. They joined our Elder Council at the invitation of the Grand Elder. This formation is due to their contribution. I also set up sub-formations in various parts of Kyoto with their help. However, the core formation will take several more days to be fully set up."

Fengqing Temple...

As Lin Jinglong was wondering if he had heard of this name somewhere before, a group of Taoist priests suddenly walked over from not far away.

One of the middle-aged men frowned at Zhong Lixiu.

"Elder Zhongli, the method of setting up and the function of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Formation are top secrets. How could you casually mention them to others?"

"I have met Master Taiqing. This is not an outsider; he is Lin Jinglong."

Zhongli Xiu politely explained to the middle-aged Taoist priest.

A group of more than ten Taoist priests looked Lin Jinglong up and down. One of them whispered, "Uncle-Master Taiqing, this Lin Jinglong is from Qinglong Temple. Master Qinglong is his master!"

"Hmph! Of course I know!"

Taiqing's face was somewhat gloomy.

His gaze toward Lin Jinglong was also quite unfriendly.

Upon seeing their expressions, Lin Jinglong had a premonition that his master had probably offended the people of Fengqing Temple as well.

However, that must have been something from a long time ago, otherwise he should have known about their grudges when he was still cultivating on the mountain.

Just like the grandmaster of Qingming Mountain, he was slapped to death by Daoist Qinglong while he was still cultivating on the mountain.

As for Fengqing Temple, that must have been something from even earlier.

"Lin Jinglong, since you come from the Azure Dragon Temple, you can't be considered an outsider. After all, you are fellow practitioners. Why don't you discuss with us how to set up this Mirror Flower Water Moon Formation, and whether there is room for improvement?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly revealed a playful smile.

Lin Jinglong looked around and nodded, saying, "We don't have much time left. According to the Grand Elder's estimate, it will take another three days to complete the formation. But in my opinion, it would be better to finish it tonight."

"Haha! You're really joking."

Taiqing gave Lin Jinglong a mocking glance.

The reason why Fengqing Temple and Qinglong Temple had a feud was that his master, Fengqing Daoist, had a sparring session with Qinglong Daoist. However, it was not a sparring session on martial arts or Taoist arts, but on the art of formations.

However, their master, Feng Qing Dao Ren, was undoubtedly defeated by Qing Long Dao Ren. After losing, he was still unconvinced and made some stubborn remarks.

As a result, he was beaten up by Master Qinglong.

He could only slink back to Fengqing Temple, where he then secluded himself for ten years, finally developing the Mirror Flower Water Moon Formation.

Whether from Feng Qing Dao Ren's own perspective or from theirs, the function and power of this formation have surpassed all other formations in the world.

Especially after incorporating the secrets of heaven.

It will surely be an unparalleled, top-tier immortal formation!

The true purpose of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Formation is not to fight enemies, but to create a secluded paradise that is both real and unreal using the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique.

The life and death of anyone who enters the cave are entirely in the hands of the one who controls the great formation.

Logically speaking, since Fengqing Temple controls this formation, they should also be in charge of it. However, the elders' council naturally cannot completely trust them, so they arranged for Zhongli Xiu to be the mastermind of the formation.

Fengqing Temple is essentially an investor in the Elders' Council.

They want to gain an advantageous position during this time of upheaval, so contributing this formation to the Elders' Council is an investment in them.

But the elders could not accept them having too much power.

Therefore, they helped Zhongli Xiu set up the formation and enjoyed the benefits brought by the formation's growth and the development of the Elders' Council, but they did not have the power to operate the formation. This was a compromise that both sides could accept.

For this reason, Feng Qing Dao Ren did not think Lin Jing Long had a chance to improve their formation. After all, they had already set up so many formations, and even the formation masters from all sides gathered by the Elders' Council had not raised any objections.

Could Lin Jinglong, with just a glance, really improve their grand formation, or even successfully set it up in advance?

Everyone else present wore mocking expressions.

Someone whispered to Master Taiqing, "Uncle-Master, I think this kid is just bragging. Their Azure Dragon Temple isn't good at magic formations. They only managed to defeat our master by chance back then. Let's take this opportunity to make fun of him."

"What are you laughing at? We just need to tell the truth. After all, this kid doesn't seem to have the same depth as Master Qinglong. He's just not doing his job properly."

Master Taiqing laughed heartily.

In their eyes, Lin Jinglong suddenly leaped into the air, reaching a height of a hundred feet, and was already surveying the overall layout of Kyoto. He also saw the twelve sub-arrays that had been arranged in various areas of Kyoto.

After observing for a while, he revealed a knowing look.

"A mirage is indeed in line with the Elders' Council's current requirements. After all, the Elders' Council wants Kyoto to remain peaceful and to serve as the pillar of the entire Great Xia."

"This formation can pull anyone based in Kyoto into the formation, and the person in charge of the formation can use the pressure of the entire city to suppress and kill them."

"It's even an unlimited number, as long as there are various sources to provide energy. The entire city of Kyoto has gathered a large amount of source power, and also contains some scattered heavenly secrets that have not yet been gathered together. It is not lacking in energy at all."

Lin Jinglong was constantly deducing the situation in his mind.

Down below, Zhong Lixiu looked at Taiqing and the others in front of her and slowly said, "You seem to have some grudges with the Qinglong Temple from which Lin Jinglong came? But I must remind you, for so long, those who have opposed Lin Jinglong have never had a good ending."

"Please don't act impulsively."

He was also worried that these people from Fengqing Temple might not be thinking clearly and would insist on causing trouble for Lin Jinglong, which could lead to their own downfall.

Master Taiqing chuckled.

"This person may not even be able to see through the true nature of our great formation. At most, I will teach him a lesson and give him some pointers. I certainly won't make things difficult for him."
