Tournament Name List
“Talisman Sect may now have more Greater Heaven Stage talisman masters than us, but they don’t have two prodigies as we do, which is why they don’t have what it takes to bring down Formation Palace – even though Third Heaven Palace is giving them a hand.”
“Why did you not inform Patriarch Zhuge beforehand if you knew a coup was impending?”
“Formation Sect must pass the trial if it is to continue to survive. You are the catalyst to steer fate down a different path. If Formation Sect avoids this tribulation this time, it will still come around somewhere in the future. If Zhuge Xiaosheng deviated from the future I saw, you wouldn’t be here. I won’t be able to find anyone who can save Formation Sect when the crisis comes the next time. As I said, you are the only one who can save Formation Sect. Now, let us begin.”
Mu Yu heard Chen Tiandao’s voice in his head, startling him. Chen Tianhao fired a beam from his eyes that seemingly contained worlds of their own into Mu Yu’s mind, showing Mu Yu all of the profound formation designs he knew.
“Divine Soul Formation is amongst them. If you can succeed Formation Palace, you can even use it to control everyone belonging to Formation Sect, including Zhuge Xiaosheng. You must be cautious when using Divine Soul Formation due to your cultivation. I know you possess a spirit lord’s sacred artefact that you can use to spawn infinite divine soul woods. Bear in mind that your mind won’t be able to handle it if you try to use it on everyone. Therefore, don’t try to control everyone.”
Chen Tiandao transferred more knowledge over to Mu Yu via his finger beam, showing the latter the complete version of Divine Soul Formation.
“I will remember that. I merely want to control Situ Yangtian and Mu Chenghong.”
Mu Yu was cognisant of the fact that the elemental demons would pose a dangerous threat if they learnt Divine Soul Formation as they could freely cast it without repercussions. Needless to say, the most fearsome enemy in battle wasn’t one’s race but the wicked schemes certain types of people conjured.
“From here on out, the onus is on you.” Chen Tiandao’s voice faded gradually with each word uttered.
Mu Yu was already lost in the formations displayed to him. Chen Tiandao already had Mu Yu layered in his Fingertip Flowing Water Formation. .
I hope I can last until then, Chen Tiandao brooded.

Twenty days later in the outside world (one year inside Fingertip Flowing Water Formation.
Chen Tiandao informed Zhuge Xiaosheng that Mu Yu was studying with him to reassure them and to prevent anyone coming over to disturb them.
The upcoming tournament was split into nine matches between disciples of the three ranks. Each match was weighed equally. Consequently, the sect that won the majority of matches won the tournament.
Lesser Heaven Stage competitors had to be Golden Core Realm disciples or below. Heaven Stage competitors’ cultivation was capped off at Primordial Infant Realm. Greater Heaven Stage competitors had to be Body Severing Realm of lower.
It was only natural for there to be disciples with discrepancies between their discipline and their cultivation such as “Feng Mu’s” case. As such, there was a tendency to value cultivation over proficiency in their respective discipline, turning it into more of a Golden Core Realm versus Golden Core Realm tournament.
“Mm… Feng Mu is currently studying under Grandmaster’s guidance. If we enlist his aid in the tournament, victory is guaranteed. What rank do you all think Mu Yu should participate in?” inquired Zhuge Xiaosheng.
“In my opinion, he should represent us as a Heaven Stage disciple as he managed to escape Mo Ziming as a Golden Core Realm disciple,” opined Greater Heaven Caster Xia, confident in Mu Yu.
“Let’s not humiliate ourselves with a Golden Core Realm cultivator, shall we? No degree of proficiency with formations will save his abysmal cultivation. He escaped Mo Ziming thanks to a stroke of good luck. There is no guarantee he will find the same luck against a Primordial Infant Realm Heaven Stage disciple. It’s best to put him in the Lesser Heaven Stage disciple team, agreed, Greater Heaven Caster Lu?” Situ Yangtian disputed.
“I agree,” responded Lu Deyi, surprising Situ Yangtian. “Situ Yangtian is right about Feng Mu’s cultivation. Talisman Sect will do everything they can to harm him, so we can’t risk pitting him against a Primordial Infant Realm competitor.”
Situ Yangtian narrowed his eyes as he stared at Lu Deyi.
“I guess that means we should have him join the Lesser Heaven Stage disciples, then. He should easily win against Lesser Heaven Stage disciples with his proficiency,” shared Greater Heaven Caster Chi Shui.
“Our main concern is what they’ll come up with to harm him. If you ask me, we should keep him out of this year’s tournament. He can always compete next year once he’s improved,” suggested Greater Heaven Caster Zhang.
Other Greater Heaven casters concurred with Greater Heaven Caster Zhang. Hence, Zhuge Xiaosheng declared, “Let’s wait for Feng Mu to return and ask him if he wants to participate as a Lesser Heaven Stage disciple. If not, there’s always next year.”
“I shall answer you now. I shall represent Formation Sect as Greater Heaven Stage disciple,” Mu Yu announced, setting foot into Formation Palace.
