Within the secret totem land, Xin Tianwen had come again to this familiar place. However, his mood was completely different than the last time he had come. The last time when Xin Tianwen had come, he was high-spirited and vigorous for he felt that destroying the Qin Clan would be as easy as turning over his palm and as easy as blowing away dust.
Now, after having experienced the tough bones of the Qin Clan, there was a subtle change in Xin Tianwen’s mindset.
He had not wavered in his confidence, instead he was more stable and more realistic.
Xin Tianwen had calmed down because he knew that it was not his fault for being unable to take down the Qin Clan and it was not because Qin Xiaotian was more powerful than him. The only reason was the tens and thousands of years of foundation possessed by the Qin Clan.
In terms of the Qin Clan’s level of mountain protection, it was reasonable that Xin Tianwen could not take it down. After all, that was tens and thousands of years of inheritance. It belonged to a normal range by passing down some powerful things.
Before him still stood that small courtyard planted with bamboo. Xin Tianwen stopped outside the firewood door.
The forthright guy from inside stood up from a bamboo chair. Carrying the same indifferent smile, he said, “Xin Tianwen, I knew that you would be back.”
Xin Tianwen revealed a startled look. “Sir Wei, have you guessed my intentions?”
“No, I don’t even need to guess. The first time when you left, I already expected this day. Therefore, is it necessary to guess your intentions?”
Do not look at how Xuan Yuan Wei appeared to be coarse, he was as scrupulous as hair.
Xin Tianwen did not dare to play any tricks before the totem elite warrior as he bowed to the ground. “Please give me some advice, Sir Wei!”
Xuan Yuan Wei threw the axe from his hand casually and said, “The first time that you had come, you were full of confidence as if taking down the Qin Clan would be as easy as puffing smoke. At that moment, I knew that you were going to have your nose rubbed in the dust. However for such a matter, if I did not let you experience it, certainly you would not be convinced. How about it, what difficulties have you met?”
Xin Tianwen felt endlessly ashamed as he gave a long sigh. “At that moment, I was hot-headed and underestimated the strength of the Qin Clan. Please advise me on this puzzle.”
“Show you how to get onto the right path?” Sir Wei revealed a slight smile. “Just to tell you honestly, the totem powerhouses must never participate in the conflicts within the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. This was a promise made between the totem clans and is also a rule passed down since the ancient immemorial time. Unless one of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates betrays the Xuan Yuan Mound or display actions that threaten the existence of the Xuan Yuan Mound, the totem clan must never get involved.”
A trace of disappointment flashed across Xin Tianwen’s face. If a totem elite warrior could not get involved, it would be an almost impossible mission to break that giant formation of the Qin Clan.
Xin Tianwen had counted on Sir Wei wanting to get the Graceful Spiritual Bow, therefore he would offer some help.
Xuan Yuan Wei shot a glance at Xin Tianwen and asked again, “Tell me about the situation at the Qin Clan exactly.”
Xin Tianwen had found this most welcome and immediately narrated the battle situation with the Qin Clan in extreme detail. Especially when he talked about how Qin Wushuang used the Graceful Spiritual Bow to attack the rear and kill a dozen people at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage, he decorated the story a bit more.
Clearly, Xin Tianwen intended to emphasize this and make the Graceful Spiritual Bow stand out.
How could Xuan Yuan Wei not know Xin Tianwen’s little trick as he revealed a slight smile, but he did not mind.
Only until Xin Tianwen had finished speaking, Xuan Yuan Wei gave an indifferent nod. “Eight Desolates and Six Directions major formation… Xin Tianwen, you should feel lucky. If you had not entered the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, that one attack could have killed you directly and not just injured the Heavenly Emperor Wings.”
Xin Tianwen was greatly surprised. “It’s this powerful?”
Xuan Yuan Wei rolled his eyes and said, “That formation is the greatest trump card belonging to the Qin Clan. Generations of Qin Supreme Dao elite warriors, if they could not pass the Supreme Dao calamities, they would integrate their divine soul into the formation. This formation has accumulated tens and thousands of divine souls. Did you think you could charge in recklessly with your power alone?”
After all, Xuan Yuan Wei was a totem elite warrior and was experienced and knowledgeable. Naturally, he did not find it rare when he spoke of the Eight Desolations and Six Directions formation. He had spoken through its profoundness directly.
After Xin Tianwen heard this information, he felt incredibly astonished. Now, he realized how lucky he was at the time.
“Sir Wei, for this formation, unless by a totem elite warrior, how else can it be broken?” Xin Tianwen asked while adjusting his breathing and worrying over his personal gains.
“For all formations in the world, there is no such thing as an invincible one. What’s the profound meaning of the Eight Desolations and Six Directions formation? It relies on the terrain and ability to absorb the spiritual Qi of the Aspiring Throne Mountain. The Qi would support the mountain continuously. Think about it, under normal circumstances, with your power alone to resist against the spiritual Qi of the entire Aspiring Throne Mountain, what do you think your chances of winning are?”
Xin Tianwen gave a long sigh. “Certainly it would mean defeat.”
“That’s right, even for the strongest totem elite warrior, they would lose for sure. However, the crucial point of breaking the formation is not to meet force with force, but to pry into the mysterious principles of the formation.”
“The mysterious principles of the formation?” Xin Tianwen raised his eyebrow and asked.
“The mysterious principles are the transport channel of the spiritual Qi! If you can find the spiritual Qi transport channel that goes to the Eight Desolates and Six Directions formation, as soon as you destruct it, this formation will be destroyed on its own!”
When Xuan Yuan Wei said this, a ruthless smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth. He said leisurely, “Of course, I can only give you these hints. Regarding the exact procedure, I cannot step out. Or else, I would be violating the rule.”
Xin Tianwen stayed in silence and wondered about where to find these channels? This matter seemed to sound simple. However, since a major sect like the Qin Clan had produced such a big formation, certainly they would not let people find it easily.
“Your brain must be full of paste, right?” Xuan Yuan Wei waved his hand and swung his sleeves. Suddenly, an earthy yellow object flew out.
“This is a Supreme Dao weapon I have refined for the past few thousand years, it’s called Nirvana Heavenly Plow. This object can fly into the sky and dive into the earth at ease. It’s the most useful good especially when investigating and destroying spiritual Qi in ley lines. I will give you this good today, how will you repay me?”
Xin Tianwen was overjoyed as he took it and said with great joy, “If I can break the Qin’s mountain protecting formation, I will certainly hand over the Graceful Spiritual Bow with both hands!”
A ruthless smile was revealed from the corner of Xuan Yuan Wei’s mouth. “Remember, I have refined this object on my own, nobody knows about it. Therefore, when you take this object to destroy the Qin’s mountain breaking formation, no one would know it has come from me. If you are still unable to break the Qin Clan, then do not come again. Or else, the next time you come empty-handed will be the day of your death.”
Xin Tianwen felt cold with fear from these words. When he saw Xuan Yuan Wei’s expression, certainly he was not joking. He took the Nirvana Heavenly Plow and said with a trembling voice, “I will for sure exert all my efforts and destroy the Qin Clan. The next time I return, I will for sure bring that Graceful Spiritual Bow and will not put your hope in vain.”
Xuan Yuan Wei waved his hand. “Go.”
Xin Tianwen did not dare to get tangled as he turned to leave after giving a bow.
After leaving the totem secret land, Xin Tianwen urged the Heavenly Emperor Wings and rushed towards the direction of the Aspiring Throne Mountain with his fastest speed. This time, he had come out quietly. If the Qin Clan learned about his earlier leave, Qin Xiaotian could give a counter-attack within a moments notice. With Qin Xiaotian’s power at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, certainly he could cause great chaos to the Heavenly Emperor’s party.
Therefore, Xin Tianwen knew that he must return quickly.
Fortunately, the Qin Clan had not acquired the news of Xin Tianwen leave. It seemed as though the Qin Clan planned to defend themselves until their dying day.
When they saw that Xin Tianwen had returned, the side of the Heavenly Emperor had a great boost of morale. All had come up to welcome him.
“Your majesty, how did it go?”
Xin Tianwen said with a smile, “Any movements from the Qin?”
“Your majesty, it seems the Qin Clan is determined to only defend themselves. There have not been the slightest of movements.”
Xin Tianwen said with a cold smile, “Qin Xiaotian is delaying time and letting the clansmen refine their Supreme Dao Fruit. It’s obvious! How can I allow him to count his chickens before they are hatched?”
“Your majesty, do you already have a way to break the Qin Clan’s defenses?”
Xin Tianwen said with a leisurely laugh, “If I do not break the Qin, I vow to never be a human!”
Everyone was overjoyed and for the time, they kept sending flattering words.
Xin Tianwen said, “Pass my order: for now, we will rest for ten days. I will enter solitary training during this time. The day when I come out is the time when we destroy the Qin!”
As soon as Xin Tianwen’s passed down his order, a thunderous response emerged right away. In this time frame, although there were small-scale victories when battling the Qin Clan, in the end, they had suffered more loss than victory.
This had caused everyone more or less to doubt whether or not they could truly destroy the Qin Clan in this war. If they could not beat the Qin Clan, the revenge everyone would be facing would be detrimental!
For this point, everyone was well-aware of it. Currently, even those three neutral sects had counted on Xin Tianwen to truly be capable of stopping the Qin Clan. If not, they would suffer a total collapse of confidence.
…
On the other hand, the people inside the Qin Clan also felt strange. During this time frame, there were not the slightest movements from the Heavenly Emperor’s party. It seemed as if they had withdrawn and there were no more movements.
Clearly, everyone knew that the intent of the Heavenly Emperor Gate to destroy the Qin Clan would not have been extinguished. The longer it took the Heavenly Emperor Gate to attack, it the more it proved they were making a new plan.
Although this mountain protecting formation was almost defying natural order, only maintaining a state of defense played on the mentality of the Qin clansmen.
“Third, what scheme is Xin Tianwen playing? With his personality, certainly he would not just give up, right?” Qin Yunran was also full of questions.
Qin Chongyang gave a long sigh. “As the Head Chief has said, we must stay unvarying to counter the various changes. Regardless of how the Heavenly Emperor Gate unleashes their moves, as long as we maintain the mountain protecting formation, the Qin Clan will be in peace. Unless the totem elite warriors interfere, with Xin Tianwen’s skill, he will never break our protecting formation.”
“It can be said this way, yet Xin Tianwen has not unleashed any further moves. I always feel this guy is plotting some new schemes…”
Qin Chongyang laughed. “Since they love to delay time, it’s exactly what the Qin love to see. It’s best if they delay it for three or five years, a crack will definitely appear in their alliance. It could collapse and fall apart. By that time, the Qin Clan will seize the momentum and counterattack. We can defeat the Heavenly Emperor Gate at once. In the Heavenly Emperor election that’s in sixteen years, we will achieve the supreme art of war by winning the battle without lifting a finger!”
At this moment, the voice of Head Chief had sounded all of a sudden, “Yunran, Chongyang, come over for a bit.”
Qin Yunran and Qin Chongyang shot each other a glance and both nodded. They walked towards the place where the Head Chief stayed for solitary training.
When the three chiefs gathered together, Qin Xiaotian opened his mouth to say, “You two, with Xin Tianwen’s tiger-like personality, certainly he will not give up. You must be prepared for a tough battle. Xin Tianwen is the current Heavenly Emperor and qualified to communicate with the totem clan. I am still worried that Xin Tianwen is able to stick his hand and foot into the totem clan. If the totem clan interferes, even if they just give any small piece of advice, it would be enough to cause the Qin Clan to fall greatly!”
“Totem elite warrior?”
Both were greatly surprised. If a totem elite warrior interferes, it could be a turning point for the Qin Clan.
