Zhan Chen didn’t stop after inscribing on the dragon snake core. He took out the Thunderwoood branch and started to inscribe divine symbols on the top of it. His hand moved nonstop as different type of mysterious symbols appeared on the top of Thunderwoood branch.

“Wow, how pretty”, little Tao murmured as she looked at the dazzling symbols on top of the dragon snake core.

‘Tap, tap, tap’, a series of rapidly approaching footsteps came and little Tao turned her gaze to look at the approaching individuals. 

“Big sis, we are not late, right?”, the third aunt of Zhan Chen asked. She had an impatient look on her eyes as she was rapidly approaching the place where Zhan Chen was inscribing. 

“Third sis, why are you so anxious? Little Chen has just started. Arranging formation is a time consuming task”, the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen shook her head helplessly. 

“We will see if that brat is really capable”, the second aunt of Zhan Chen spoke. Zhan Chen’s mother was silent as she followed after everyone. Like everyone, she also had a curious look in her eyes.

“What is this energy fluctuation? Big sis, can you feel it?”, the second aunt if Zhan Chen asked.

“Yes, I can feel it. We should hurry and see what little Chen is doing”, the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen spoke.

The third of Zhan Chen was the first to arrive where Zhan Chen was inscribing. He was already done with the Thunder wood tree branch. Currently, he was working on Spiritual green sand.

Unlike the dragon snake core or the Thunder wood tree brach, the Spiritual green sand were only sand particles. Zhan Chen didn’t take out those particles out of the box. Instead, he inscribed symbols on top of its container which was made up of a special kind of material.

“Big sis, what is that pen?”, the third aunt of Zhan Chen looked towards the eldest madam of Zhan family.

“That is an inscription pen and most be a high quality one at that. Firecloud treasure pavilion is really generous towards him”, the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen spoke.

“No, the most valuable things are those formation materials around him. The dragon snake core and the Thunderwoood tree branch can be considered as rare fourth grade materials”, the second aunt of Zhan Chen exclaimed in surprise.

Considering the financial condition of Zhan family, they couldn’t take out such valuable materials. So, the second aunt of Zhan Chen felt shocked when she saw the materials.

“What is he inscribing?”, the third aunt of Zhan Chen asked. Her eyes were glued to the hands of Zhan Chen which were moving in a lightning quick speed.

“Those are called as divine symbols. A formation master most know how to inscribe them using their spiritual energy”, the first aunt of Zhan Chen described. A surrised look appeared in her eyes when she observed the Dragon snake core and the Thunder wood branch.

It did not take her long to find out the source of heavenly energy fluctuation. It was the spiritual materials upon which Zhan Chen had already inscribed divine symbols. Her eyes widened as she observed the spiritual materials more closely.

When she looked towards Zhan Chen’s second aunt, she was also looking at her. Clear shock written all over her pretty looking face. Both of their gazes met and both could see the amazement in eachother’s eyes.

After finishing the spiritual green sand, Zhan Chen moved to the horn of Flame spitting ox. Sweat drops were already pouring out from his tired looking face.

Inscribing divine symbols on the grade four spiritual materials were a heavy burden to his spiritual energy. But he still keep pushing himself as he knew the advantage of using spiritual energy for creating formation.

Spiritual energy and soul energy were two different kinds of energy altogether. Spiritual energy was a kind of mental strength which had nothing to do with the soul energy. With his current cultivation, if he had to use soul strength beyond true essence realm, his body would be damaged as his body couldn’t tolerate the input of soul strength.

But it was not the case for his spiritual energy. Spiritual energy or the mental energy was directly related to a person’s invisible connection with the heavenly energy. If a child was born with greater spiritual energy, then he could be considered as a genius in his surrounding area as he could feel the heavenly principles with his spiritual perception. What could be considered difficult for others would be too easy for him to do it.

In this life, Zhan Chen was no better than others considering the spiritual strength. But with the perception of his soul and his understanding towards heaven, he had managed to increase his spiritual energy in these few days.

Although arranging a formation was draining but it could also increase one’s connection with the ethereal principles of heaven. In this way, one could increase his spiritual energy after inscribing divine symbols. It was another kind of cultivation which would increase one’s spiritual energy.

The second aunt of Zhan Chen gasped in surprise when Zhan Chen took out the Abyssal jade. Compared to her, the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen didn’t feel any surprise as she couldn’t recognise the identity of the Abyssal jade.

“Big sis, that is an abyssal jade. It’s value could be compared to some fifth grade materials”, the second aunt of Zhan Chen spoke.

Zhan Chen’s mother also felt surprised after she heard her second sister’s words. She knitted her pretty eyebrows as she looked at Zhan Chen. “What is Chen-er doing? No matter how wealthy she is, we shouldn’t take advantage of her in that way?”, she thought to herself.

Zhan Chen wiped off his forehead after storing the inscription pen inside his pocket. “Finally, it is complete”, he murmured to himself.

“Eldest aunt, second aunt, third aunt, mother”, Zhan Chen called out after storing the inscription pen inside his pocket. A smile appeared on his face after seeing the look on the faces of his aunts and mother.

His gaze fell upon little Tao and he felt speechless after seeing her appearance. She was literally drooling while looking at the beautiful looking abyssal jade. Her big eyes were glued to the glowing surface of the Abyssal jade.

“Little Tao, stop staring at it. I will bring you to the Firecloud treasure pavilion later. You can pick up some things at that time”, he spoke after seeing the expression on her face.

“Little Chen, what formation you are planning to arrange?”, the eldest aunt of Zhan Chen asked after coming out of her entranced appearance. The deeds of Zhan Chen was so heaven defying that even she forgot how to talk to him for a moment.

Eldest aunt, I am going to arrange a Five element profound tribulation formation for our Zhan family estate. When it is used, it can deter even the experts above the Core condensation realm”, Zhan Chen replied.

“Ok, now I am going to place the Dragon snake core here”, Zhan Chen spoke. He threw the dragon snake core towards one of the guards.

“Put it at the deepest part of the hole. Then fill up the hole again”, Zhan Chen commanded. The guards did as he instructed and filled u the hole with muds and stones.

“Ok, come with me. We are going to dig up four more such holes”, Zhan Chen looked at the two guards. He personally guided them to the north, west and south direction and pointed at the most suitable place for placing the spiritual materials.

After putting up the Thunder wood tree branch binnthe northern direction, he placed the spiritual green sand in west direction. Then he turned to south and placed the horn of Fire spitting ox there.

The last place he chose was the central part of the Zhan family estate. The two guards dug up a hole where he pointed and Zhan Chen placed the Abyss jade there.

“Young master, is it completed?”, the two guards inquired after he placed the last piece of spiritual material. 

“No, the most crucial part is not over yet. We have only placed the spiritual materials in right places but it is only part of the entire process. The most crucial part was to make a connection between those materials”, Zhan Chen replied with a smile. The guards scratched their heads as Zhan Chen’s words feel like some profound things to him.

“Then young master, what should we do now?”, the two guards asked.

“No need to fret over it. Your work is already finished. You have done well. Now, leave everything to me”, Zhan Chen spoke.

The guards nodded their heads and waited for Zhan Chen’s next action. Zhan Chen sat crosslegged on the spot where the Abyss jade was buried. He closed his eyes and calmed his mind.

He operated the Celestial Yin Yang sutra and started to cultivate in that spot. His body started to recover after Zhan Chen operated the celestial Yin Yang sutra. 

He opened his eyes after cultivating for an hour. His body and mind felt refreshed after he cultivated for a period of time. His spiritual strength had also recovered and it had increased slightly than his earlier level.

He spread his soul consciousness to the surrounding and the entire Zhan family estate appeared inside his mind. He had already learned where the mysterious senior of that night was staying. He spread his soul consciousness around him without disturbing his cultivation.
