Chapter 906: Realization In Hindsight (II)
Several streaks of brilliance shot out with a flick of his sleeve.
Zimu Profound Gold was roughly the size of a fist, its surface a luminous white and covered in dense patterns of dark-gold etchings. Heartsway Gold was slightly smaller, pale-golden in hue, with no particularly remarkable features.
The Black Profound Gold, made of Geng Metal, was a scattered patch of black. They were remnants from when Chimen Difu’s dharma artifact had exploded years ago. They had also borrowed Ritual Pearl Gold from Profound Peak Gate, which formed a tiny mound of gold grains no larger than rice.
Li Xijun sent the four spirit items to land at their respective formation nodes. Instantly, the central formation’s White Lightning flared brilliantly.
Formation Master Lin immediately rose with the wind. He brushed his storage pouch with practiced hands and revealed a sword at the Embryonic Breathing Realm. He raised it high and flicked his finger hard against the sword’s spine.

The sword trembled heavily as visible cracks ran down its length, but it didn’t break. Formation Master Lin looked momentarily awkward. He quickly lifted the sword and struck it three or four times against the dharma light at the edge of the formation. Only then did a crack ring out, and the sword split in two.
Formation Master Lin had already discussed this beforehand with Li Chenghuai, who stepped forward and explained with a wave of his sleeve, "This is a formation rite passed down through Master Lin’s dao lineage. It’s said to increase the chance of success."
Li Xijun nodded slightly, and the grand formation beneath his feet rumbled to life. Several streams of mana poured into the array’s core as dark clouds filled the sky.
Li Qinghong nodded as well as she said, "Interesting."
