Ch 495: The Old Lantern
The door opened slightly, and a book fragrance seeped through the crack.
The aura passing by made one feel refreshed and invigorated.
He looked around, it was like a small world, only occupied by large bookshelves.
And among the bookshelves were neatly arranged, densely packed ancient books.
Li Hanzhou paced in this world of book fragrance, his gaze sweeping around.
These ancient books covered all types, such as geography, galaxies, cultivation methods… almost everything was included.
He had also been to various sects and factions, and even some noble families’ libraries to read extensively, but all the books in those places combined were like a drop in the ocean compared to this place, insignificant.
Li Hanzhou walked along the center of the path, and finally discovered the Master’s figure at a corner.
The Master was currently holding a writing brush, unfolding a book and writing on it.
He didn’t look up, but directly said, “You’ve arrived.”
“Greetings, Master.”
Li Hanzhou’s expression turned serious, and he bowed to the other party.
“No need for formalities, I’m a little busy now, feel free to look around.” The Master didn’t look like the dean of the number one academy in the world, but more like a librarian.
Seeing that the Master was busy, Li Hanzhou didn’t rush, casually found a seat, picked up a nearby book, and read it with relish.
He was a book lover, and with so many books here, Li Hanzhou was happy to relax and read for a while.
One writing, one reading, in the peaceful world, only the rustling sound of turning pages, who would have thought that these two scholarly figures, one was an Immortal Realm strong person, a righteous Daoist Sect member, and the other was the Dean of Tianxuan Academy with unfathomable cultivation level.
Li Hanzhou was completely immersed in the world of the book.
I don’t know how long it took.
“The book in your hand was written by the last Ruler of the Daqian Nation four hundred and thirty years ago. He was a very talented person, but unfortunately, he was destroyed by the Demon Race.” The voice broke the silence, Li Hanzhou looked up and saw the Master standing there.
“It’s indeed a very interesting book.” Li Hanzhou also agreed.
“If you like it, take it back and read it slowly.” The Master said with a chuckle.
“How could I be so presumptuous.” Li Hanzhou said, tucking the book into his arms. Seeing this, the Master didn’t mind.
Then Li Hanzhou asked, “Master, I have come today to seek your guidance on a matter.”
“The Gathering Fortune Great Formation, right?” The Master seemed to already know Li Hanzhou’s intention.
“Yes, I have gathered the Yin-Yang Fish and the Earth Vein. May I ask how to set up the Gathering Fortune Great Formation?”
After speaking, Li Hanzhou took out the Yin-Yang Fish and the Earth Vein.
At this time, the Yin-Yang Fish was swimming in a small water tank, black and white in appearance, emitting a black and white aura all over its body.
At this time, the Master looked up and carefully examined the two things in Li Hanzhou’s hands.
“The last Yin-Yang Fish in the world, huh.”
The Master squatted down, looking at the Yin-Yang Fish with great interest.
The Earth Vein was not something rare to him, but this Yin-Yang Fish was the last one. Once used, it would never be seen again.
After taking another look, the Master withdrew his gaze, looked at Li Hanzhou and said, “Your Divine Palace is vast and resourceful. Setting it up will require a lot of manpower and time. You have the two most important formation eyes for the Gathering Fortune Great Formation. The remaining things you can easily obtain, namely the Flame Spirit…”
Setting up the Gathering Fortune Great Formation requires encompassing all the earthly realms of the Divine Palace, and each realm needs to have a small formation that can connect with each other.
As the place where national fortune was once most abundant, the Dragon Court, as the most important place in the Divine Palace, needs to rely on the Yin-Yang Fish and the Earth Vein as the formation eyes, and supplemented by other materials to serve as a great formation that can continuously operate.
Once the great formation is activated, all the formations will connect, thereby enveloping the entire Divine Palace.
The Divine Palace’s lost national fortune will also be absorbed from various aspects of the commoners’ emotions and lives, and then recondensed.
Once the national fortune reaches the basic level, the rampant natural disasters will dissipate on their own and return to their former glory.
However, as the Master said, setting up this Gathering Fortune Great Formation will require a lot of manpower and time, and it may even shake the foundation of the Divine Palace, but under the effect of the great formation, all this is insignificant.
Li Hanzhou listened attentively, firmly remembering the things and steps needed to set up the great formation.
This lasted for half an hour. Seeing that Li Hanzhou had any questions, the Master patiently answered them.
Coming here, Li Hanzhou not only knew how to set up the Gathering Fortune Great Formation, but also learned something he had never been exposed to before, making his trip quite rewarding.
“Thank you, Master.”
Li Hanzhou clasped his hands and thanked the Master, saying, “The Divine Palace’s problem needs to be solved quickly, I won’t disturb you any longer.”
The Master truly helped him a lot, if he wasn’t in a hurry to go back and deal with the national fortune, he would have liked to chat with him for a while longer.
The Master nodded, but the next second, he suddenly said, “Don’t rush, knowing you’re coming, an old friend of yours wants to see you.”
“Old friend?”
Li Hanzhou was surprised. Did he have any old friends in Tianxuan Academy?
The Master walked to the side and took out a lantern from behind the bookshelf.
This lantern looked very old, as if it had gone through countless years.
“She has arrived.” The Master said slowly to the lantern in his hand.
As soon as the words fell, the ancient lantern actually lit up slightly.
Dim candlelight seeped through the lantern.
The next moment, the smoke from the candlelight gathered into a figure.
A person Li Hanzhou never expected appeared before him.
“Senior!” Li Hanzhou looked at the person who appeared, his tone somewhat surprised.
The approaching person was dressed in white, pale-faced, with three thousand strands of green hair scattered down, the figure was hazy and ethereal.
It was the Lantern Woman he had met in the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone.
After breaking through the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone, the last thing he saw before falling unconscious was the Lantern Woman, but after waking up, he had already been sent to the Longevity Temple by the people of Tianxuan Academy.
He didn’t expect to see her again today at Tianxuan Academy.
“Long time no see. After your summoning of the deity, you must have been unconscious for quite some time, right?”
The Lantern Woman came before Li Hanzhou and said with a smile.
“Senior is right. I was unconscious for three whole years. But Senior, weren’t you in the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone? How did you get out?”
Li Hanzhou was also very happy to see the Lantern Woman.
She had provided him with a lot of help in the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone, and she also had a relationship with the Old Man, so it wasn’t wrong to call her his old friend.
