Chapter 733 - 303: Array Formation Restoration in Progress! Who Will Gain the Upper Hand First?

Chen Han couldn’t guess the purpose of Ancestor San Feng, after all, even Emperor Yongle who built this Feng Shui Array at Wudang, and the head priest of Wudang at that time, didn’t know.

Moreover, how could a distant descendant like him know?

He even suspected that the previous Thunderfire Alchemy Peak was incomplete because instead of placing a Feng Shui Stone inside the Golden Summit, there was a small statue of Emperor Zhenwu.

Otherwise, how could the people of Wudang not have discovered this in the past 600 years?

If they had discovered it, there would surely be some recorded heritage, but now Wudang clearly has nothing passed down.

The best approach now is to first draw out the Feng Shui Array of Wudang, then repair the Feng Shui Array of the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak, and thus understand its true purpose.

With this in mind, Chen Han left the Library Pavilion of Wudang with this ancient text.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Daoist Qingwei and Daoist Chen approaching.

Both of them came to see the situation of this Chen Patriarch.

After all, they were annoyed by those so-called expert supervisors and planned to set up a scheme for these people.

After all, this was their domain, and the times were different now.

In the past, due to special times, their ancestors dared not make any move, even saying a wrong word could lead to their ascension.

Now they want to play the same trick, really thinking Wudang has no connections?

Do they know how many people are connected just by Wudang’s tourism merit assets?

Do they know how much tax revenue their tourism and related income bring to this place?

Do they know who drinks tea with the Wudang Sect Leader when they go to city meetings?

Do they know this area is called the Wudang Mountain Special Zone, and there’s a special bureau for it?

However, Daoist Qingwei did not want this matter to influence the thoughts of the Chen Patriarch.

Everything should still focus on repairing the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak.

The key is to inquire about which ancient texts the Chen Patriarch is looking for, and Wudang should send more people to help search.

Their library has too many texts.

When they saw the Chen Patriarch coming out from the Library Pavilion, they hurried to greet him, performing a Taoist salute: "Patriarch Chen."

Chen Han returned the salute: "Daoist Qingwei, Daoist Chen, I found important evidence about the Feng Shui Array of the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak in an ancient text from your Wudang, and I’ve basically completed the Feng Shui Array."

As he spoke, he handed over the ancient text along with a piece of unknown fabric left by Ancestor Sanfeng: "This is what Ancestor Sanfeng left; take good care of it."

The two Daoists were taken aback.

How could there be a discovery so soon?

To know that Wudang’s Library Pavilion has so many collections, divided into three layers, it would take a long time for one person to read through.

That’s why they planned to arrange people to assist.

Who knew Patriarch Chen would have such good luck?

This was a discovery already?

No, it was Wudang’s luck that was excellent, as this was beneficial for restoring the Feng Shui Array of the Thunderfire Alchemy Peak.

Daoist Qingwei took the fabric left by Ancestor Sanfeng, covered in texts, all in classical Chinese.

These classical texts, fortunately, he could understand.

As the Wudang Sect Leader, although he might lack other abilities, in studying the Taoist Scriptures, he was no less learned than some classical Chinese experts.

Although many ancient texts have modern translations, the cultivation of the Tao is personally interpreted differently, and even the same phrase in the Taoist Scripture might mean different things to different people.

At his level, he couldn’t thoroughly follow others’ translations for cultivation; he must read the original texts himself, and at a certain stage, he even wished to write his own commentary on the Taoist Scriptures.

It’s not just him; many in the Taoist Sect possessing Purple Robes have this capacity to read classical texts.

However, many lack their own insights and achieve nothing in life, whereas others have insights but too few to write a book, at most sharing their understanding for debate to modify subsequent versions of Taoist Scriptures if proven correct.

This has evolved into modern discourse on Taoism.

One could say, even modern published Taoist Scriptures, might have slightly different content from year to year.

After roughly examining what Ancestor Sanfeng left on the cloth, he was also greatly astonished.

This Feng Shui Array’s most crucial core was indeed a Feng Shui Stone?

To know Wudang has plenty of peculiar stones, most of which could serve as Feng Shui Stones.

In the past, some suggested doing business with Feng Shui Stones, but such actions involve mining that would undoubtedly harm the scenery.

He was now somewhat thankful he hadn’t agreed to that.

He also realized that perhaps Wudang’s Thunderfire Alchemy Peak Feng Shui Array was never whole.

The information left by Ancestor Sanfeng was in this ancient text, unnoticed.

Over 600 years, there’s no recorded information about putting in a Feng Shui Stone within that Golden Summit, just a small statue.

Chen Han then said, "Daoists, I now need to return to my residence to draw the Feng Shui Array Formation Map of Wudang. I need paper, inkstone, and it would be best to have inks of different colors for labeling the Feng Shui paths and positions."

Daoist Qingwei quickly assured, "Patriarch Chen, rest assured, I will immediately arrange for it to be sent over. Concerning the Feng Shui Array Formation, we’ll rely on you considerably."

Chen Han nodded and returned to the Five Dragon Palace where he was lodging.

After he walked away, Daoist Chen unconsciously asked, "Senior brother, what did Patriarch Chen discover?"

Daoist Qingwei handed the piece of fabric to Daoist Chen.
