Chapter 420 Ancestors, the Witch Clan, and Ancient Formations

In Nanzhou, within the territory of Xinglan Sect, on several mountain peaks occupied by Wuxuan Sect.

In dealing with the demon beast tide, the talisman cultivators and formation cultivators jointly trained by Xinglan and the witch clan played a key role, and their status naturally rose.

In addition, Luo Diandian told the elders of the Witch Clan that the fire sacred object could suppress the Sky-Erosion Vine.

Even Wu Hong, an old member of the Wu clan who had been tortured by the Sky-Eroding Vine and dared not continue to practice, gradually found a new way to suppress the Sky-Eroding Vine.

As for those tribesmen who wanted to get rid of the Sky-Eroding Vine, Luo Diandian also respected their choice.

Using the essence of the Sky-Eroding Vine, they could remove the Sky-Eroding Vine from their bodies, allowing them to practice again. The future of the Witch Clan gradually became brighter.

Wu Hong felt that his previous choice of Luo Diandian and his strong recommendation to the clan leader that she take the path of inheritance was indeed a clear decision.

So now, facing Luo Diandian rushing to his door, Wu Hong was surprised and happy.

Without much greetings, Luo Diandian went straight to the point and stated his discovery.

"Universal Mirror?!"

Unexpectedly, when Wu Hong heard this name, his face was filled with surprise.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Luo Diandian thought to himself that his guess was right, there must be a connection between the two.

"The Myriad Mirror was indeed originally owned by my Wu clan, but it fell into the hands of the demons many years ago. How could it be in your possession now?"

Luo Diandian did not elaborate on the process of obtaining the Universal Mirror, but explained it in a few words by killing the demons.

Wu Hong nodded. Knowing Luo Diandian's anxiety, he didn't inquire further.

"Do you know what the formation that sealed the ghost clan was based on?"

These words made Luo Diandian's eyes slightly stunned. He thought about the drawings in his hand. Could it be such a coincidence?

"It cannot be denied that our Wu clan is now in decline, and even though our reputation has been gradually forgotten by the world over the years, we were the main force in the Ghost Sealing War a thousand years ago."

Luo Diandian had no objection to this.

She recalled the fragments that emerged in her mind when she was comprehending the Nine Palaces Fantasy Beast Formation.

The figure on the top of the mountain who was planning with pen and paper, suddenly raised his hand and the ghost figures disappeared, which naturally had a huge impact on the battle situation.

"Have you ever heard of the title 'Zhan Wang Ji Ting'?"

Luo Diandian was stunned. As a formation cultivator, how could she not have heard of this person?

Later generations ranked the leaders of various immortal cultivation professions thousands of years ago.

The ancient sword among swords, the violent body Xiu Yuan, the spear among blood Ji, the elixir spirit Shao Mian, the beast Di Lan...

These are all people who are recorded in books and have had a profound influence on later generations.

Although some leaders of other professions may have doubts, no one dares to question the formation cultivation.

Only by being called the "King of Formation" can Ji Ting's status be reflected.

Many formations in later generations evolved from his formations. Whether it was attack, defense, assistance, etc., the details of the context were organized and distinguished by him.

It has a profound influence on the formation practitioners of later generations.

"Ji Ting is actually the ancestor of our Wu clan?" How come Luo Diandian didn't know this.

Unexpectedly, Wu Hong coughed lightly.

"That's not the case. Our ancestor was his wife. He protected him very well, so there are no books that record his relationship with our witch clan."

"Protect?"

Luo Diandian looked weird. Why was the word "protect" used?

But she soon found out why.

"Indeed, our ancestor was extremely beautiful back then. It is said that the Formation King did not want others to remember him, so our ancestor followed his lead and rarely showed his true appearance, so others had no way of knowing."

Luo Diandian: ...

"However, the Wu Clan was founded by the two of them and named after their ancestor's nickname. Since they had no children, they adopted a group of orphans and taught them the knowledge of formations."

This is the origin of the Wu clan, and those orphans are obviously the first generation of Wu clan ancestors.

The ancestor was also a master of formation cultivation, and with the addition of the Formation King... Luo Diandian finally understood why the Witch Clan had such a rich foundation.

Whether it is the Nine Palaces Fantasy Beast Formation that can create derivatives at will, or the most powerful Universal Star Plate.

These are definitely not things that ordinary formation cultivators can leave behind.

Wu Hung continued his story.

"And the Dark Abyss Formation that sealed the Ghost Clan was actually realized by the Formation King and our ancestor together from an ancient formation they accidentally discovered."

"In order to deduce this ancient formation, our ancestors even utilized the Sky-Eroding Vine's powerful devouring ability, even consuming a portion of the Heavenly Dao's power. This allowed them to foresee and deduce, and only then were they able to partially deduce the formation."

"But this also caused our ancestor to suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao. Fortunately, the Formation King resisted and saved her life, but she also lost her fertility. Our Wu clan was also punished by the Heavenly Dao, and it has only slightly weakened after so many years."

"However, this part of the formation that was comprehended from the ancient formation is extremely powerful. It seems that as long as a certain price is paid, unparalleled power can be obtained."

"But facing the endless ghost tribe, the casualties in the world of immortal cultivation are becoming more serious."

"Unable to delay any further, the Formation King took the lead and used this formation as the foundation. He sacrificed the spiritual energy of countless senior cultivators, and combined it with various formations to finally create the Dark Abyss."

"As for the remaining ancient formation that has not been cracked, it is hidden in the Wanxiang Star Plate left by our ancestors."

"Back then, the star disk and the mirror were one and the same, but our witch clan declined later."

"A certain tribe leader was leading his people on a relocation when they were attacked by demons. He had no choice but to use a mirror with extremely powerful defensive functions to protect his people, but it was then taken away by the demons."

At this point, Luo Diandian understood everything. The amount of information was so huge that her brain almost overloaded.

The Formation King and his wife, the witch clan, ancient formations, the Sky-Eroding Vine's foresight and deduction, the Abyss Formation...

"Master Hong, is there any information I can refer to?"

Luo Diandian felt that there was hope for a solution, and couldn't help but ask if there was any information left by his ancestors.

Wu Hong shook his head. "Actually, when they first figured it out, the world of immortal cultivation was already in danger. They had no time to leave anything behind, so they quickly set up the formation and then offered sacrifices."

Luo Diandian felt quite sorry.

In this case, the mysterious formation in the star map might be an ancient formation that has never been completely cracked.

After all, if you want to know the details of some of the formations after they are cracked, you can just go to the abyss and explore. There is no need to save them specially.

This might have been what our ancestors had in mind, but now the Abyss has been destroyed—

etc!

Luo Diandian looked up suddenly and remembered.

Hadn't she previously completed a copy of the original formation in the abyss in order to strengthen the formation inside to kill ghosts?

Damn, what a shitty luck!

"Thank you, Mr. Hong. I'll be leaving now."

Thinking of this, Luo Diandian instantly became excited. She said goodbye to Wu Hong in a hurry and left immediately.

Wu Hong watched Luo Diandian's departing back and guessed that she wanted to continue cracking the ancient formation.

But this is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Many predecessors of the witch clan had tried it before the mirror was lost, but without exception, they all failed.

Wu Hong couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas... Times make heroes."

The thin figure as he left seemed to overlap with the figure of his ancestor who was deep in thought in front of the formation a thousand years ago.

In the same way, they struggle and run for all living beings, even if it means giving up everything they have, they put it all behind them.

Who would have thought that when Wu Hong first met Luo Diandian, she was just a girl who didn't care about worldly affairs and only wanted to find a sect to support her?
