"Sir, I mean, what if she doesn't have that ability?" Thinking of this, the attendant priest changed his words.
"If I don't have that ability, I will naturally give up the position of chief priest." Mu Hanyan said with a serious face.
From the beginning, she had guessed Ling Baobao had bad intentions, and it turned out to be true. Formation materials? Mu Hanyan thought about it, but didn't try to stop Ling Baobao. The Flower Rain Temple was so poor, so picking up some formation materials wouldn't be bad.
That’s right, it’s picking! After seeing Wen Gaoren’s array formation technique, Mu Hanyan suddenly became enlightened. All the doubts and puzzles in her heart finally had answers.
Her skills in formation in the Holy Court Continent were already good. Even several formation instructors at Longyan Academy treated her as an equal and did not dare to treat her as a junior. With the experience of deducing the mysteries of formation from the Falling Stars in the Eight Desolations, it was not difficult for her to deduce the formation methods of the Continent of Gods from the Falling Gods in the Eight Desolations. However, the formation theories she deduced were too abstruse, and she lacked the most basic experience in setting up formations in the Continent of Gods, so she was unable to use them freely.
At this time, after looking at Wen Gaoren's formation hand gestures, the two were confirmed and everything came to fruition naturally.
Moreover, her spiritual power was far more powerful than Wen Gaoren's, so repairing this formation was not a difficult task for her at all.
"Master Priest, please think twice!" An Xiaxin and others were shocked when they heard Mu Hanyan's words.
Even if Mu Hanyan was unable to repair the Star Thunder Formation, Wen Gaoren was also unable to do so. It was still a huge loss to give up the position of chief priest just like that.
"Don't worry." Mu Hanyan waved her hand and said calmly and confidently.
An Xiaxin was about to persuade him again, but suddenly saw Sikong Qinglan give her a look.
Could it be that Mu Hanyan really had this ability? An Xiaxin had been away for so many days, and she didn't know what Mu Hanyan was doing, but she knew that Sikong Qinglan was not a reckless person, and this look must have a deep meaning.
An Xiaxin's mind suddenly flashed back to the moment when Mu Hanyan bullied Long Wudang: the tiny flame, the huge fireball with a deafening roar, and Long Wudang's pitiful expression of utter shock and bewilderment. A slight thought struck her: could it be that Wen Gaoren, like Long Wudang, had been tricked by Mu Hanyan?
Thinking this in her heart, An Xiaxin didn't say anything else.
"Okay, okay, then I'll do as you say." Wen Gaoren was really stunned by the lightning again. Of course he knew whether it was an advantage or a disadvantage, so he said without hesitation.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Mu Hanyan would go back on her word, after he finished speaking, Wen Gaoren took out a fist-sized jade tripod from his arms. With a light shake, a pile of various meteorite gold and strange stones appeared in front of him, piled up like a small hill.
This old man has quite a rich family background. Mu Hanyan smiled faintly, walked into the Star Thunder Formation, and slowly performed the hand seals.
"Huh..." Wen Gaoren's following priests exclaimed in a low voice. Wasn't the hand gesture used by Mu Hanyan the same one that their master had used before? Where did she learn it from?
An Xiaxin and the others also showed confusion on their faces. They didn't know that although Mu Hanyan had fully understood the Star Thunder God Formation, she had no experience after all. She was only familiar with Wen Gaoren's hand seals, so she borrowed it for use.
Looking at Mu Hanyan's hand gestures in confusion, Wen Gaoren and the followers gradually realized something and showed contempt on their faces.
"It would be fine if you were just cramming at the last minute, but what you stole was my master's formation technique. It's a joke that you dare to speak so arrogantly with such limited ability." An attendant priest said contemptuously.
It was no wonder that he was so contemptuous. Mu Hanyan's hand gestures were stiff and clumsy, and it was obvious that she was a beginner. Even a fool could guess that she had just learned these from Wen Gaoren's formation hand gestures.
"As expected of the High Priest of the Flower Rain Temple, he learned it after just a few times of reading. He is truly gifted and truly admirable." Another companion echoed sarcastically.
The others sneered and laughed along.
"You're just repeating what others have said. If this can repair the Star Thunder Formation, I will eat all this meteorite gold." Wen Gaoren had lost face before, and Ling Baobao kept rubbing salt into his wounds. Now he finally found a chance to retort and said with a sneer.
An Xiaxin and the others were a little embarrassed, their faces slightly red. Just now, seeing Mu Hanyan full of confidence, they thought her formation skills were so exquisite and unparalleled. Who knew that she actually learned the hand gestures from Wen Gaoren secretly, and learned them so stiffly.
What on earth is this High Priest thinking? Is she under too much pressure and wants to get rid of this hot potato of the Flower Rain Temple as soon as possible? But that doesn't make sense. Judging from the interactions I've had these days, she doesn't seem like that.
Just when they were puzzled, Wen Gaoren's expression suddenly changed.
Mu Hanyan's hand gestures were indeed a bit awkward at first; after all, she'd learned them secretly, and it was her first time performing them, so it was inevitable. But as time went on, her speed grew faster and faster, and she became more and more adept. Each hand gesture flew through her body, leaving a trail of afterimages behind. Amidst the mystery, a wondrous rhythm emanated, imbued with an ethereal beauty.
Although Mu Hanyan was still standing in front of them, everyone had an illusion that she had completely merged into the formation.
Even if they were not proficient in the art of battle formations, they could see that although Mu Hanyan had learned this hand gesture from Wen Gaoren, the changes in it were much more complicated and mysterious. Coupled with the wonderful rhythm and elegant beauty, it was simply not comparable to Wen Gaoren.
"Boom!" Thunder roared, and countless blue lightning spread towards all parts of the formation.
At the beginning, it seemed to be the same as what Wen Gaoren had done before, but soon, everyone discovered that the blue electric lights seemed to have spirituality. They followed different formation patterns, intertwined with each other, and formed dazzling blue runes. Those blue runes connected together formed the Big Dipper.
"Seven stars gather together, divine thunder breaks the law, and the formation is completed!" Mu Hanyan made the last hand gesture and shouted in a clear voice.
Anyway, I even learned the hand gestures from Wen Gaoren, so I might as well use his mnemonics to avoid any trouble.
The blue runes flashed at the same time, as if they were slapped by an invisible giant hand, and merged into the formation.
Everyone felt their bodies lighten at the same time, while a unique aura of formation barrier filled the hall, giving people a sense of solemnity and dignity.
Looking out the window, a faint, almost transparent light slowly emerged, like a vast dome, enveloping the last two farmlands of Huayu City. The rice paddies, previously swaying in the wind, defying the north wind with tenacious vitality, now quieted, a scene brimming with life.
Success! Mu Hanyan had truly succeeded! She had actually repaired the Star Thunder God Formation!
An Xiaxin, Sikong Qinglan and others looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise, tears flashing in their eyes, and they even forgot to cheer.
