The Ancient Sovereign

0Han Yan had just arrived outside the tribe when the Murloc guard recognized him. He heard the guard's voice tremble as he asked: "You, what are you doing here?"    

    

"I came to look for your Patriarch." Han Yan's eyes flashed, and his voice was cold and heartless.    

    

The guard hurriedly replied without thinking: "Come in! The Patriarch has brought the Murloc Palace to wait for you. " With that, he opened the array and let Han Yan in.    

    

Han Yan's body flashed, he arrived inside the Murlocs and flew straight to the main hall.    

    

After a while, Han Yan arrived at the entrance of the hall, and the guards at the entrance recognized him, they did not dare stop him and allowed him to enter. Arriving at the great hall, Han Yan saw that Qin Xiong and Chen Yue were discussing something softly. Seeing Han Yan coming over, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then revealed ecstasy all over their faces.    

    

Qin Xiong strode forward and arrived in front of Han Yan, saying somewhat awkwardly: "Fellow Daoist, please sit …" He really did not know how to address Han Yan. If Han Yan had not lost his memories, he could call him his son-in-law in broad daylight. But just now, he had found out from his daughter that he and Han Yan were already finished. This son-in-law couldn't be called out no matter what he said, and could only be called daoist friend in the end.    

    

Han Yan waved his hand: "No need, I've only come this time because I want to know the purpose of the Patriarch's request for me to come here."    

    

Qin Xiong did not waste time speaking and went straight to the point, "I believe that fellow cultivator was also able to see that my Murlocs is actually not a race from here, but a clan from the Ten Directions Continent. For thousands of years, the Murlocs has had a dream, which is to return to the Ten Directions Continent, to return to the place where I lived back then, and to rebuild my new home. "    

    

Han Yan was not interested in these things, but he still finished listening to all of it seriously.    

    

Qin Xiong explained the history of the Murlocs, and said after. "Fellow Daoist, with your current strength, it is impossible for you to pass through the Tian Luo Sea Area, so you want to borrow your strength to bring us along. Of course, this was not for nothing. As long as Fellow Daoist can bring us back to the Ten Directions Continent, after the treasures are opened, you can pick whatever you want. "    

    

Han Yan did not think much into it, and asked: "When are we leaving?"    

    

Qin Xiong thought for a while, then said: "There are still many mortals in the clan. If we were to take all of them, it would take at least five days or so to set out."    

    

"Five days?" Han Yan felt that this was a long time, and asked, "Can three days be it?"    

    

Qin Xiong laughed bitterly and said, "Fellow daoist, if I could take a few with me alone, three days would be enough. However, they are all mortals, and could not afford to fly too far, so they could only bring it along with them. Furthermore, the Spirit Sealing Tower could not hold so many people, so he could only make some compasses and place them on top of it before taking them away. "    

    

"Compass?" This was Han Yan's first time hearing about such a treasure that could bring people along. Out of curiosity, he asked, "What is a compass?"    

    

Qin Xiong did not hide anything and explained in detail: "The compass is a flying treasure that the Ancient Cultivator frequently uses. Although its speed is not fast, it can fly together with many people. As long as my spirit energy is not exhausted, I can theoretically continue to fly. "    

    

This kind of treasure was useless to Han Yan as he waved his hand, "Alright, I'll wait three more days." As he spoke, he prepared to leave.    

    

Qin Xiong seemed to have seen through Han Yan's thoughts, and immediately said: "Fellow, the speed of the compass is not fast, because he is only an incomplete product, if Fellow can produce the finished product, I cannot guarantee how fast he will be, but it will not be slower than teleportation." As he said that, he took out a piece of jade slip s from his sleeves and handed it over to Han Yan: "This is the blueprint for the compass. Fellow can take a look first."    

    

Han Yan's eyes flashed, he remembered what Qin Xiong had said just now, and accepted that piece of jade slip. Just now, Qin Xiong said that the compass was a treasure used to fly in the Ancient Cultivator. Since the Ancient Cultivator used this thing, its flying speed would definitely be good. Otherwise, how could the arrogant Ancient Cultivator use trash magic treasures to fly?    

    

There were no formations or Spiritual Sense Imprint on the jade slip. Han Yan's mind moved, and after entering inside, he immediately saw a huge map. The map depicted a palm-sized disk. Completely written on it were complex ancient characters as well as some incomprehensible symbols. Below the map, there were some words detailing how to make the compass, as well as the materials required.    

    

Han Yan read through them carefully, especially the array formations that needed to be added in when refining, he paid more attention to them. Although there were some array formations that Han Yan was unable to set up within a short period of time, he was certain that these array formations would accelerate, and even have one or two spatial array formations. Such an exquisite item was indeed a rare treasure.    

    

After he finished reading, just as Han Yan was about to hand the jade slip over to Qin Xiong, he heard Qin Xiong say, "If fellow cultivator likes it, feel free to take it."    

    

Han Yan hesitated for a moment, then handed the jade slip over to Qin Xiong and said: "I cannot accept such a precious thing."    

    

Qin Xiong did not go to pick up the jade slip, but said: "Dao friend, this is not something that these things can compare to. After saying that, he paused for a bit and said, "Although we are also refining a compass, it is much simpler than fellow cultivator's. After reading the map, how confident is fellow cultivator in that it can succeed?"    

    

Han Yan thought for a moment, then said: "If all the ingredients are complete, I have a fifty percent chance of success in refining it."    

    

When these words came out, Qin Xiong and Chen Yue's eyes were wide open, filled with shock. Compass was extremely difficult to refine. Even for them, they only had less than a ten percent chance of being able to successfully refine it. With such a complicated high-level compass, not to mention how confident they were, they were even unable to set up all of their spirit formations. Thus, how could they possibly be able to refine them?    

    

Qin Xiong was shocked and could not help but ask: "Fellow can set up these array formations?"    

    

"Although these array formations seem difficult, they are actually not difficult at all. As long as you follow the steps and execute them, you will at least be able to succeed once out of ten times." Han Yan's attainments in formations far exceeded his cultivation. To put it bluntly, there was only a formation that Han Yan had never seen before, no formation that he could not set up. As long as the laying out methods were complete, Han Yan would definitely be able to comprehend it within a month.    

    

Hearing that, Chen Yue immediately laughed bitterly, at the same time, his heart was in turmoil. He had also seen the rough map of the Compass Immortal. Thus, he knew very well how difficult the formation on the Compass Immortal was. For Han Yan to say such a thing, it could only mean one thing. His understanding of formations had already reached an unimaginable level.    

    

As the saying goes, one moment is enough, one hundred times is enough.    

    

As long as you comprehend some of the formations so that they can be set up according to your will, no matter how difficult the formations are, as long as you slowly study them and deduce them, you will be able to comprehend the mysteries within.    

    

These words sounded simple, but they were extremely difficult to put into practice. After all, who would possess such talent? Even if they had this kind of talent, how many people would have so much time? With an increase in Cultivation base, one's longevity could be increased. However, no matter how powerful the spell formation was, it wouldn't be able to live for more than a few hundred years. Therefore, other than someone who had a natural interest in formations, ordinary people would not easily study them. Even if they did, they would not analyze the methods to arrange them. At most, they would only learn the basics of how to set them up.    

    

Qin Xiong sucked in a cold breath of air and said: "If I could provide you sufficient ingredients, how long would it take for fellow cultivator to refine such a formation?" Even though he was able to refine a low-level compass, his failure rate was extremely high. Even if he were to have everyone in the clan refine it together, it would still be rather difficult for him to create so many compasses within five days.    

    

If Han Yan could refine a high level compass, the result would be completely different.    

    

Han Yan was startled, obviously not expecting Qin Xiong to provide all the materials. One had to know that there were astonishingly large amounts of materials needed to refine a Compass. First, there were a large number of Nine Heavens black iron and the Deep Sea black iron. This kind of stone could only be found within spatial rifts. As for how to open one, Han Yan did not know either.    

    

In addition to these three materials, he also needed the soul of a Level 7 demon beast, as well as some common ores that could be bought on the continent.    

    

"You have all these materials?" Han Yan's heart was moved. If there really were these ingredients, he was prepared to give it a try.    

    

Qin Xiong nodded his head, and said: "Although my Murlocs did not bring the treasures here, I did bring some Refining materials s. I can provide the materials needed to refine a high level compass, but only twice. If we fail, we can only wait until we find the treasure before refining it. "    

    

"Twice?" Han Yan thought for a moment, then said, "If it was only two times, I'm afraid it would be impossible."    

    

"It's fine even if it doesn't succeed." Qin Xiong did not mind at all as he said, "Anyways, these ingredients would be a waste if I put them in my hands, why not let fellow cultivator refine them?"    

    

"Thank you very much." Han Yan cupped his hands, "I hope that clan leader can refine a low level compass too. If I am unable to succeed, we can also set off in five days."    

    

Qin Xiong nodded his head, and said: "Don't worry, I will have all the cultivators with Elemental Infant-changing Stage in the clan refine all the low leveled compass, and will definitely not delay their journey in five days." With that, he pointed to a nearby door and said, "Fellow cultivator, please wait for me here. I will go get the materials needed to make the compass."    

    

The moment Qin Xiong left, Chen Yue walked in front of him and said: "Congratulations, fellow cultivator."    

    

Han Yan's brows twitched, and said: "What?"    

    

Chen Yue smiled slightly and said: "For Fellow to be able to breakthrough to the seventh circulation within ten years, this is the first time it has happened since the creation of this world; isn't this a happy occasion?"    

    

These words sounded like praise, but Han Yan could hear from the other party's words that the other party was reminding him that the reason he was able to cultivate to such a level in such a short period of time was all because of Qin Rouer. Han Yan didn't want to continue the topic, so he changed the topic: "I wonder what plans the aristocrats have after leaving this place?"    

    

Chen Yue had already thought of how he could persuade Han Yan, but he did not expect Han Yan to actually say such a thing. He laughed awkwardly and said, "I don't know what to do after we migrate either. We need to listen to the clan leader's arrangements." With that, he changed the topic. "Fellow cultivator, I don't know about your past, but I would like to say something. If Fellow cultivator wishes to reach the Soul Formation stage, then the dual cultivation will not stop." He clearly knew that Han Yan didn't want to talk about this topic, but he was still talking about it. His goal was very simple, he really hoped that Han Yan would be together with Qin Rouer.    

    

Once Han Yan accepts Qin Rouer, not only would it benefit Chen Yue, it would also benefit the entire Murloc. If one were to think about it, when the Murlocs returned to the Ten Directions Continent, they might even be discovered by the local cultivators. At that time, there would be cultivators who would try to rob the Murlocs's women for their dual cultivation, or even steal some of their clan's treasures.    

    

If there was a super powerhouse guarding the clan, would they come to snatch it?    

    

Other than this, Chen Yue was also selfish. As long as Han Yan stayed in the Murlocs, his daughter would have the chance. On the way back, he had already seen through his daughter's thoughts. As long as Chen Xiaomeng worked a little bit, he would be able to go along with Han Yan. At that time, if he wanted to break through to the ninth cycle, there was even hope for him to reach the Soul Formation stage. Because during the Nine Revolutions and the Spirit Transformation, Han Yan, as his son-in-law, couldn't possibly not help.    

    

Of course, Chen Ye knew that this possibility was close to zero. But even so, he still wanted to give it a try.    

0

    

Han Yan let out a long sigh, and said: "I understand what you're saying, but I really don't want to hurt her."    

    

"You have already hurt her, all the women in Murlocs are infatuated, are you not afraid that she will court death?" Chen Yue's eyes flashed, and he asked.    

    

Hearing that, Han Yan's face darkened, immediately he had a bad premonition. Then he flickered into motion, flying out of the temple.
