Chapter 602 - 554: The Supreme Elder Is Furious

Chapter 602: Chapter 554: The Supreme Elder Is Furious

At this moment, the Great Elder’s heart was a bit numbed.

Is there truly someone in this world with such heaven-defying mastery over ancient arrays?!

If we had brought Qin Yu here earlier, could the Thousand Leaves Locking Heaven Array have already been fully restored?

Next.

The third, fourth...

In less than an hour, Qin Yu had already repaired ten array patterns.

The originally broken ancient array began emitting a soft glow from one corner, and an enigmatic, ancient aura wafted over.

The clan elders no longer fought over comprehending the patterns; one pattern each was more than enough.

To be part of the Bai family’s upper tier, their mastery over spiritual power is extraordinary. Coupled with centuries of experience with ancient arrays, and with Qin Yu’s residual spiritual power present, their speed of comprehension is exceedingly fast.

Bai Yaosha secretly calculated that if Qin Yu helped her comprehend three to five array patterns, the clan elders might be able to comprehend one.

Thus, Bai Yaosha wasn’t very perturbed.

She wondered how the clan elders would react if they knew the Leader of Chu Guard in the Great Chu Immortal Country spent all day in Carefree Pavilion, occupying half a day of Qin Yu’s time, and yet couldn’t comprehend even a single pattern.

Perhaps, with the more hot-tempered clan elders led by the Third Elder, they might be unable to resist running to Carefree Pavilion to chase him away?

"This array is indeed profound; in the Thousand Leaves Locking Heaven Array, it is one of the core formations."

Bai Lan, after comprehending the second pattern, couldn’t help but exclaim and looked at Qin Yu with increasing excitement.

He even suspected...the Bai family’s ancestral inheritance might be incomplete.

Could it be that the true inheritance was obtained by Qin Yu?!

Otherwise, how could one explain his rapid repair of the formations, with increasingly skillful actions and accelerating speed?

From the first pattern taking a quarter of an hour, to now, in just a quarter of an hour, he can almost repair two or three patterns...

On the mountain peak, the mysterious array’s light shimmered.

With Qin Yu’s actions, array patterns appeared one after the other.

Bai Lan and several clan elders were already overwhelmed with shock by Qin Yu, and instead of indulging in this astonishment, it was far more practical to focus on comprehending the array patterns.

Bai Yaosha originally intended to comprehend the patterns, but seeing the elders guarding them like food, she ultimately dismissed the idea.

The residual spiritual power on the patterns indeed helps comprehension, but it simply can’t match Qin Yu’s direct guidance.

Though the elders haven’t fully comprehended the patterns at hand, it doesn’t prevent them from dividing up other patterns. Almost every time Qin Yu repairs a pattern, the elders have a predetermined claim on it.

"What’s going on with Bai Lan?"

On a distant mountain peak, Bai Huan frowned.

Wasn’t it agreed to let Qin Master try if he can repair the ancient array?

Why has a day passed without any movement at all?

Could Bai Lan have arranged for Bai Yaosha and that guy to run away, given Bai Lan’s protective nature, it’s quite possible!

"Humph, does he want to become a sinner of the Bai family?"

Bai Huan, feeling vexed, released his spiritual power.

"What’s this?"

The next moment, a scene appeared before Bai Huan’s eyes. His pupils contracted, his solid spiritual power trembled, almost dissipating.

Bai Huan took a deep breath and steadied his gaze.

When he "saw" Qin Yu’s proficient actions, his long stagnant spiritual power even showed signs of loosening.

In just a few breaths, Qin Yu had already outlined the pattern before him, a complete pattern emerged.

"He can really repair the ancient array?!"

Bai Huan felt an overwhelming shock within, his eyes revealing an incredulous expression.

Completing the ancient array typically relies on enlightenment, doesn’t it?

The difficulty involved is only known by array masters who have passionately dedicated efforts.

Yet, seeing the young man’s fluid actions, the broken ancient array patterns came alive under his hands, seemingly without a hint of pausing.

How is this possible?!

Bai Huan suppressed the shock in his heart and continued watching.

In just a moment, another pattern was repaired.

At this moment, Bai Huan was utterly unsettled.

Even as one of the Bai family’s Supreme Elders, he had never witnessed such a heart-stirring scene.

That ancient array, among the most intricate and complex formations in the Thousand Leaves Locking Heaven Array, how was it achieved?

Such a heaven-defying act, what were Bai Lan and the elders doing?

Why wasn’t he informed in advance?!

"Rubbish!"

Bai Huan swept his spiritual power, furious.

This group of scoundrels, actually comprehending patterns!

Moreover, each time Qin Yu perfects a pattern, an elder leaves a spiritual power mark.

What’s the meaning of this?

Dividing ownership?

Utterly absurd!

Clan elders of the dignified ancient race actually vying over repaired patterns? So uncouth, aren’t they afraid of being laughed at by outsiders!

A group of scoundrels!

Bai Huan cursed in his heart, and when he saw Bai Lan leaving a spiritual power mark on a pattern, skillfully declaring ownership, he could no longer suppress himself, rising into the air.

How dare you Bai Lan!

So it was you, the clan leader, who led this!

"Swipe!"

The next moment, a senile figure descended on the mountain peak.

Bai Yaosha glanced back but quickly returned her focus to Qin Yu’s actions.

Never seen, don’t recognize.

Bai Huan’s facial muscles twitched.

Ordinarily, he almost never shows up, only for matters vital to the Bai family’s survival would someone awaken the Supreme Elder.

Bai Yaosha not recognizing him can be understood.

Of course, the primary reason...

According to Bai Lan, that young man repairing the ancient array came specifically because of Bai Yaosha.

Bai Yaosha...is indeed a prized catch!

Watching Qin Yu’s skillful techniques, Bai Huan suddenly felt he was too conservative.

What’s the Kong family anyway?

To hell with them!

What nonsense, trying to touch my Bai family’s proud daughter?

Ridiculous!

"Oh, you must be Yaosha, right?"

Bai Huan’s aged face squeezed out a smile, proactively he said.

"Who are you...?"

Bai Yaosha still politely asked.

This peak had long been set with an array by her father, even the clan’s high-level members couldn’t break in.

The other party could ignore the array and arrive here; he should be a clan elder, right?

"Yaosha, do not be disrespectful; this is the Supreme Elder of our clan."

Bai Lan had just completed understanding an array pattern, and upon seeing Bai Huan, his expression immediately changed as he hurriedly explained.

"Yaosha greets the Supreme Elder."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yaosha immediately regained her senses and respectfully bowed.

"You have made significant contributions to our clan; there is no need for such formality."

Bai Huan nodded with a smile, only then turning to Bai Lan, his previously beaming old face suddenly collapsed.

"Huan Lao, why did you come personally? I was thinking..."

Bai Lan’s whole being tightened.

"Ha, were you planning to wait until you all finished comprehending before informing me, this old man?!"

Bai Huan’s voice was indifferent, laced with anger.

Truly, human hearts are cold; as the Supreme Elder, he had worked tirelessly for the Bai Family, only to receive chilly indifference.

Ridiculous, pathetic, lamentable indeed!

"Huan Lao."

The Great Elder and several clan elders also discovered the arrival of the Supreme Elder, all suddenly silenced as if in shock.

"I do not blame you; the zeal of our clan members for the ancient array is a good thing."

"After all, I am old, with at most a hundred years left; even if I comprehend several more array patterns, of what use could it be, right?"

"Continue your comprehension; I will stand guard."

Bai Huan’s expression was indifferent, neither joyful nor sad, yet his old eyes carried a difficult-to-conceal loneliness and sorrow.

The clan elders looked at each other, momentarily at a loss.

Recently, when the Supreme Elder had just emerged from seclusion, he had summoned these clan elders and given them a stern scolding; his unchallenged dignity and robust presence could hardly be associated with the elderly figure before them.

Moreover, with his cultivation, he should not be of declining age?

"Huan Lao, how about this, I’ll give you three array patterns to comprehend first?"

Bai Lan, worthy as the clan leader, hesitated for a moment before resolutely speaking.

"Ha!"

Bai Huan sneered, shaking his head.

Do you take this old man for a beggar?

There are eight patterns here with your markings!

You give me three?

"Bai Lan, I recall when your grandfather was young, I even held him in my arms..."

Bai Huan’s face was filled with loneliness, his eyes brimming with nostalgia.

"Four patterns!"

Bai Lan gritted his teeth.

Fine, fine, even bringing up grandfather!

"You might not know, but when your father was young, he was also quite mischievous; I saw he had the Innate Dao Spirit Body and specially sought him a piece of thousand-year earth crystal..."

Bai Huan shook his head, sighing softly.

"Five patterns, no more!"

Bai Lan took a deep breath, reaching his final compromise.

"Alright."

Bai Huan’s old face finally broke into a smile, waving his hand to erase Bai Lan’s spiritual power markings and imprinting his own.

Once the Supreme Elder’s gaze moved away from him, Bai Lan’s body relaxed, but thinking about the five array patterns he gave up, his heart couldn’t help but ache.

Careless indeed.

At the next moment, the Great Elder’s expression darkened.

"Bai Yi, do you remember eighty years ago, when I held you, you kicked out one of my teeth?"

Bai Huan’s expression was kindly, like an aged elder.

"Huan Lao, I am willing to give up three array patterns."

The Great Elder took a deep breath, speaking with pain.

"Sigh, look at you, not as generous as the clan leader. Besides, I’m half dead already, do you think I came to vie for patterns?"

Bai Huan shook his head, looking pained.

"..."

The Great Elder remained silent.

No, really can’t give them up!

Bai Lan is shameless, that fellow went first to comprehend the patterns and seized the most; giving up five patterns, he still has many left.

I’m not the same!

Bai Huan watched the Great Elder for a long time; seeing the latter with lowered head, refusing to look at him directly, his face immediately darkened.

"Humph!"

At the next moment, an overwhelming surge of spiritual power spread out, enveloping five array patterns, erasing the Great Elder’s spiritual marks with formidable strength.

"???"

The Great Elder’s face turned ashen.

Old thing, have you no shame?

Not giving, yet you forcibly seize?!

But what could he do; mainly, he couldn’t beat him.

"Bai Feng..."

Bai Huan casually shifted his gaze to the Second Elder.

"Huan Lao, I am willing to give up four array patterns."

The Second Elder’s mouth twitched, bowing in respect.

He was very tactful.

After all, if I don’t give them, they’d be seized anyway.

"Good, a teachable child."

Bai Huan’s old face creased with an increasingly broad smile.

"..."

The Third Elder, hot-tempered, didn’t wait for the Supreme Elder to speak, and directly erased his marks from his seized four array patterns.

Immediately, the remaining clan elders dared not defy the Supreme Elder, even if inwardly cursing, they wouldn’t reveal a trace.

Bai Yaosha quietly watched the friendly exchange between the clan elders and the Supreme Elder.

Truly deserving of being the clan elders, such magnanimity was truly admirable; to give up their acquired treasures.

This level of awareness is certainly not common.
