The awkward thing was that He Pingsheng only knew that this Talisman's function was Heaven-Defying, but he didn't know for what level of Cultivator it would be useful.
After becoming invisible, could Taixu Old Ancestor still see him?
He didn't know!
"Hoo…" He Pingsheng exhaled deeply, a hint of determination appearing in his eyes.
Currently, he had no other choice.
Only this one.
Therefore, he had to try it no matter what.
As for when to leave, he still needed to find the right Time.
Hmm…
Preferably, when the Old Ancestor was busy with other things and couldn't spare a Clone.
He Pingsheng took out the Jade Slip of the Nine Yang Formation and continued to comprehend it.
After all, he still had to submit it in a few days.
He would slowly look for an opportunity to escape, no rush!
…
A few days later!
Inside the Tai Xu Divine Hall!
Taixu Old Ancestor laughed heartily: "Hahahahaha…"
"Not bad, not bad…"
"It worked on the first try, you little brat are definitely a Formation Genius… Hehehe…"
He Pingsheng also had a look of relief.
He looked at the large Formation in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
Nine Yang Formation!
The Nine Yang Formation required nine Formation Plates.
The complexity of these nine Formation Plates varied; He Pingsheng made five simple ones, and the Old Ancestor personally made four more complex ones.
Then the nine Formation Plates were combined, and with the arrangement of Spirit Stones, Formation Flags, and so on, the Nine Yang Great Formation was successfully set up today.
"Although you still can't set up Three-Rank Arrays now!" Taixu Old Ancestor looked at He Pingsheng with satisfaction, saying cheerfully: "But your talent is extremely terrifying, much stronger than this Old Man's back then!"
"Just need to temper yourself for two more years!"
"No…" The Old Ancestor immediately overturned his previous words and changed his mind: "One year!"
"In just one year, you will be able to easily set up Three-Rank Arrays!"
But the prerequisite is that you need to raise your Divine Thought further; its current intensity is slightly insufficient!"
He Pingsheng cupped his hands: "This Disciple will immediately go into seclusion after returning!"
"No rush!" Taixu Old Ancestor waved his hand: "Within this Nine Yang Great Formation, another Formation must be set up!"
After the Three-Rank Formation Nine Yang Great Formation was activated, it formed a Time light membrane.
The light membrane was like a hemisphere, inverted over the open space in the middle of the Divine Hall.
It almost filled the center of the Divine Hall.
The two stood within this great Formation, as tiny as ants.
He Pingsheng asked somewhat nervously: "Master, what other Formation needs to be made?"
The Old Man took out a piece of paper.
That's right, this Time it wasn't a Jade Slip, but just a piece of paper.
The paper was very large, spread out on the ground.
It was densely marked with countless symbols, but at a glance, two circles, one large and one small, could be seen on the paper.
The two circles were close together, looking like a gourd from the outside.
He Pingsheng asked strangely: "Master, what kind of Formation is this again?"
Taixu Old Ancestor smiled and said: "Don't ask yet!"
This Formation is also a Three-Rank Formation, but it is much more complex than the Nine Yang Great Formation; with your own ability alone, you wouldn't be able to set it up in ten years!
Do you see this large circle? Thirty-six Formation Plates need to be made inside it!
This small circle only needs nine Formation Plates!
We, grandpa and grandson, will still cooperate this Time!
"Oh oh oh…" He Pingsheng said: "You mean, you'll handle the large circle, and the small circle will be given to me?"
"You're wrong!" Taixu said: "You can't make the small circle's Formation Plates either!"
These Formation Plates lean towards the Yin attribute, so I will make them!
You will make the eighty-one Formation Flags around it!"
As the Old Man spoke, he took out a cyan Jade Slip and handed it to He Pingsheng: "This Jade Slip contains the method for making Formation Flags; go back and comprehend it thoroughly!"
Time is running out!
Try to complete this Formation within a month!
Go on!"
…
Back in the side hall!
He Pingsheng sat cross-legged on the pink cushion, his brows slightly furrowed.
He stretched out his finger and drew an ethereal circle on the ground.
Immediately after, another circle.
Two circles, one large and one small, looked like a gourd.
"Strange!" He Pingsheng's brows furrowed even tighter: "It seems I've seen this Formation diagram somewhere before!"
"This Formation diagram is a bit strange!"
As he muttered to himself, he waved his hand and took out two Jade Slips from his Storage Pouch.
Many years ago, after He Pingsheng killed Yu De, the Senior Martial Uncle of Hongde Yard, he found a Formation Jade Slip called 【Solitary Formation Origin】 from his Storage Pouch.
Later, after this Formation Jade Slip was strengthened by He Pingsheng, it became two.
One was 【Three-Rank Arrays】, and the other was 【Myriad Arrays Compendium】.
He Pingsheng had never comprehended these two things; he had only flipped through them once after the initial strengthening.
This strange gourd-shaped Formation should be in one of these two.
But he couldn't quite remember which one it was in.
"I want to see what this thing is exactly?" He Pingsheng took a deep breath, picked up the Jade Slip of 【Three-Rank Arrays】, and placed it on his forehead.
His Divine Thought swept over it.
Without hesitation, without trying to deduce memories, just a quick scan took He Pingsheng the Time of one incense stick.
It wasn't there!
This Formation was not recorded in the Three-Rank Arrays.
Then he would look at the Myriad Arrays Compendium.
He Pingsheng began to scan the second Jade Slip again.
Half an incense stick later, his body trembled.
He saw it.
A gourd-shaped Formation.
Two circles, one large and one small.
Although there were many differences in detail between it and the Old Ancestor's Formation diagram, from the outside, they were almost identical.
After seeing the Formation diagram, He Pingsheng couldn't help but move his gaze to the name of the Formation.
The name was very long: Guest-to-Host Invert Yin and Yang Soul Shifting Formation.
Just looking at the name, he couldn't make sense of it.
He Pingsheng's Divine Thought then swept over the general outline of the Formation.
Upon seeing the general outline, he was immediately greatly alarmed.
The general outline was a lengthy three hundred characters, but it only spoke of one thing: Possession.
What guest-to-host, what invert Yin and Yang!
They were all for occupying the other party's body with one's own Divine Soul.
Holy cow… Holy cow, holy cow, holy cow…
He Pingsheng was so scared he almost peed himself on the spot.
Is this to make me set up a Formation, and then Possess me?
Digging my own grave?
How malicious.
As for why the Possession Formation set up by the Old Man was not quite the same as the great Possession Formation in the 【Myriad Arrays Compendium】, He Pingsheng thought this was too normal.
Because this Myriad Arrays Compendium had been strengthened.
All the Formations inside it should have been improved upon the original basis.
Since they had been improved, they were naturally different.
"Hoo… Hoo… Hoo…"
He Pingsheng's entire body was seeping cold sweat, and the hand holding the Myriad Arrays Compendium trembled slightly.
What to do?
This damned Old Man, has he been scheming against me all along?
He had originally harbored the delusion that he truly accepted him as a Disciple, alas… it was a delusion after all!
He must have taken a fancy to his Five Elements Spiritual Root.
It must be!
He Pingsheng put the Myriad Arrays Compendium into his Storage Pouch, he lay on the cushion, almost collapsing from exhaustion.
It was a full half an hour later before he calmed down from that extreme fear.
Since he already knew the other party wanted to Possess him.
Then… what to do?
