“Wei Chenzi, have you made up your mind? Or do you still want to play with fire? In my opinion, it’s better to let it go. The Nine Dragon Coffin Formation sounds wonderful, but what you don’t know is that in the end, it will be our bodies being dragged in those nine coffins, not the enemies’.”
The Nine Dragon Coffin Formation was already in preparation, and as the moment approached, Han Mang gave Wei Chen one last piece of advice.
Wei Chen smiled lightly and said, “Old man, you’ve grown old and timid. If it were you in your youth, I’m sure you wouldn’t hesitate, right? You understand the principle of ‘Fortune Favors the Bold,’ don’t you?”
Han Mang sighed helplessly, “Well, do as you wish. Whatever ideas you have, we old folks will only support you. If you dare to do this, I suppose you’re well prepared?”
“Of course. If Master Jin really wants to play tricks on us, I’ll make him unrecognizable to his own parents!”
…
The so-called Nine Dragon Coffin Formation actually has little to do with the nine coffins or the Nine Dragons. It merely borrowed their names; where could one find nine dragons in the Soul World?
This formation is both defensive and offensive. It is extremely difficult to breach once inside; ordinary people simply cannot do it—only high-level experts from the Soul Realm can manage.
Once inside the formation, the nine dragons pull the coffins in a rapid spin, creating a misty spatial environment that stuns and confuses enemies. In their dazed state, the formation activates its attack for maximum effect.
The Nine Dragon Coffin Formation has a resounding name and indeed possesses Tenth Rank High-Level power, but it has little genuine connection to dragons or coffins.
Of course, this is Master Jin’s explanation. As for the real situation, one can only find out after the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation is fully established.
On Cang Mountain, there are over ten thousand Formation Masters. Whether they are Formation Masters or ordinary ones, each has received a part of the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation. They know nothing about it; each person has a different blueprint and is responsible for a segment of the formation, setting up nodes and lines all around Cang Mountain.
With so many people working together, Master Jin predicts it will take at least six or seven days to complete. One can imagine just how immense this formation is.
First, the construction of the formation is in full swing.
Second, after changing the blueprints, the positions of the Formation Masters have also shifted; no one holds a primary position. Wei Chen did this to prevent any connections between them that could lead to someone quietly stealing the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation.
By the third stage, they were still working on basic lines with new blueprints and new positions.
By the fourth round, the weakest Formation Masters had already been eliminated, forced to sit aside and watch as others continued to strive for the great Nine Dragon Coffin Formation.
In the fifth round, even more were eliminated, leaving only a hundred or so to continue setting up the formation. The difficulty of the fifth formation had increased somewhat, and it took three rounds before they finally completed their diagrams by the eighth.
In the ninth round, they changed their diagrams and continued, this time taking even longer, completing it only by the fifteenth.
In the sixteenth round, the difficulty of the formation increased once again, with only a dozen Formation Masters remaining. They switched diagrams and positions, spending a full half month to complete the final step of the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation.
A month had passed, and the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation had already taken shape, awaiting Wei Chen and Master Jin to finish the final stage together.
"Wei Chenyu, the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation is almost complete. Those Formation Masters are all contributors! Without them, we would never have succeeded. The Nine Dragon Coffin Formation involves millions of formation eyes and lines; if we were to do it ourselves, it would take countless years. There’s truth in the saying that many hands make light work."
Looking at the faintly visible formation eyes and lines scattered across the mountain in midair, Master Jin was filled with pride and vigor, as if he had regained a few years of youth.
Wei Chen smiled and said, "Everyone is a contributor, but the greatest contributor is naturally you, Master Jin. All the diagrams were designed by you alone; the essence of the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation lies within your heart. Without you, no matter how many people we had, it would be of no use."
Hearing Wei Chen's words, Master Jin chuckled proudly and said, "There's no need for us to be modest; everyone has played a part in this without a doubt. As long as I can fulfill my lifelong wish, I will be very satisfied. Now comes our final push!"
"Wei Chenyu, have you memorized all the diagrams I gave you?"
"I have memorized them all. I understand the entire Nine Dragon Coffin Formation now. I've reviewed all the diagrams; Master Jin, surely you wouldn’t play tricks or use fake diagrams to deceive me?"
Wei Chen looked at Master Jin with a calm gaze, a hint of cold laughter flickering in his eyes.
Master Jin retorted angrily, "Wei Chen, what do you mean by that? I have been wholeheartedly helping your Peach Blossom Sect; do you really suspect that Old Man has impure motives? Let me tell you, the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation is my wish. Using your Peach Blossom Sect as an experiment is solely to fulfill my lifelong dream. Not everyone is as sordid as you think. Besides, haven’t I shown you all the diagrams? Including this one in my hand? The current Nine Dragon Coffin Formation is already in your mind; think about it—what could I possibly have missed?"
Wei Chen replied with a smile, "All the diagrams of the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation are firmly etched in my mind. I've analyzed them several times and indeed found no omissions."
"Then what are you still doubting me for? Let me tell you this: since the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation is not yet complete, Old Man has been doing his best. Don’t let something crucial fail at the last moment and then turn against me when things go wrong!"
Master Jin stared coldly at Wei Chen, his words carrying an unmistakable threat.
“Master Jin, I trust your character; you wouldn’t sabotage us at the last moment,” Wei Chen said, looking at Master Jin with a slight smile. “But honestly, I trust myself more. What I create with my own hands is the best. The blueprint for the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation has no issues whatsoever, and it remains flawless to this day. My research on formations isn’t too shabby either; I know that this blueprint is indeed for the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation, and I understand its principles clearly. Whether you take action or not doesn’t matter; in the final phase, we can work together to complete it. If I were to do it alone, it would only take me six.”
“I’m not pressed for time right now, so let me handle the final phase myself. If it’s something I can do alone, why trouble you? The Nine Dragon Coffin Formation was established by you, and your name will be prominently featured on the Peach Blossom Sect’s Merit Tablet. Helping you complete the final part of the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation would fulfill your wish, wouldn’t it?”
Wei Chen smiled at Master Jin, his grin resembling that of a sly fox.
At this moment, Master Jin finally understood why Wei Chen had been so attentive and eager to please him over the past month.
He had fallen into Wei Chen's trap without a doubt.
Master Jin's eyes blazed with fury as he fixed his gaze on Wei Chen. “Wei Chen, what do you mean by this?”
“You know the saying: ‘A heart steers a ship for ten thousand years.’ You’re only concerned with the successful establishment of the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation. If I handle it myself and succeed in setting up the formation, the credit will still go to you. Is there any doubt about that? If you were to take charge and decide to play some tricks at the last moment, given your skills in formations, it’s entirely possible that you could activate the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation to attack us all from within. Even though we have the strength to withstand its assault—there are two experts beyond Soul Realm Peak within our Peach Blossom Sect—it would be easy to prevent the destruction of the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation. However, any damage inflicted on others and all our hard work during this time would be in vain.”
“Wei Chen, don’t judge others by your own standards! Old Man is upright and just; how could he possibly do such a thing?”
Master Jin was furious now, his eyes red as he scanned those surrounding him.
Wei Chen had summoned Ni Junlin, Gu Yuehong, and Donghua—three formidable individuals who were crucial pillars of support for Peach Blossom Sect at this critical moment. Even if Donghua had ulterior motives, before Wei Chen fully matured, he would serve as a powerful weapon for him.
With these three present, Master Jin couldn’t make a move no matter how hard he tried.
Wei Chen’s scheme was undeniably insidious.
“Regardless of whether you can do it or not, it’s always better to be cautious. Master Jin, my apologies in advance; after the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation is completed, I’ll personally apologize to you.”
Wei Chen exchanged glances with Gu Yuehong, who swiftly moved forward and restrained Master Jin.
It was truly tragic for someone of Master Jin's stature—renowned as Soul World’s top Formation Master and having made outstanding contributions to Peach Blossom Sect’s Formation System—to end up in such a predicament.
However, Wei Chen's actions were indeed necessary to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
Standing not far away, the three old men—Han Mang, Han Che, and the Pharmaceutical Sovereign—finally felt relieved. Wei Chen was meticulous in his actions.
Meanwhile, the future leader of the Peach Blossom Sect, Musa, fully experienced Wei Chen's prowess. Every detail about Wei Chen was etched in Musa's heart. He knew that once Wei Chen departed, it would be up to him to lead the Peach Blossom Sect forward.
"Brother Wei, rest assured, I will learn everything from your methods. From now on, for the growth of the Peach Blossom Sect, I will be even more ruthless than you!" Musa declared silently as he looked at Wei Chen and then at the restrained Master Jin.
When Wei Chen handed over the position of leader of the Peach Blossom Sect to him, Musa initially struggled to adapt. However, as time passed, he gradually became accustomed to it. In a high position, one must consider not only personal gains and losses but also those of the entire Cloud Spirit Sect.
Just like Wei Chen now; he knew that his actions would be mocked by Master Jin and ridiculed by subordinates. Yet for safety and the future of the Peach Blossom Sect, what was sacrificing oneself?
Wei Chen's sacrifice was worth it.
Master Jin's eyes were filled with rage as he stared intensely at Wei Chen. However, he was restrained and unable to move or even speak. He could only watch helplessly as Wei Chen flew toward the center of the nearly completed Nine Dragon Coffin Formation to carry out those final tasks.
Wei Chen worked alone, his pace unhurried. After five moments, the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation was essentially complete.
Finally, Wei Chen revealed some of the mysteries of the Nine Dragon Coffin Formation!
His conjectures were entirely correct!
"With Master Jin paralyzed, there's no way he can play tricks on me!"
