#364 - The Frog Saint was painted with a formation totem

Li Chengfeng sighed helplessly upon hearing this. He knew he couldn't change everyone's decision and understood that in this world where the strong are respected, sometimes unconventional methods were needed to protect oneself.

However, he still insisted on his principles, stating that he would not directly participate in the altar's sacrificial ritual, believing it violated the spirit of Confucianism.

He said, "Alright, I can help with the construction of this altar, but I will never participate in the sacrificial offering. After all, Confucianism pursues benevolence and harmony, not such cruel rituals."

Liu Ruyan smiled softly upon hearing this and said, "Naturally, you don't need to personally participate in the sacrifice. Our Mountain Lord will make arrangements. Rest assured, we will handle it properly."

Her words carried a hint of gentleness and firmness, which put Li Chengfeng at ease.

Li Chengfeng smiled and nodded, then changed the subject, drawing everyone's attention to his spirit beast—the Frog Saint.

He excitedly said, "Everyone, come and help me arrange a formation for my spirit beast to see how it works and whether it can help it break through to become a second-order demon beast.

It is already at the peak of the first-order demon beast stage. If it is combined with a formation, it will definitely benefit greatly."

Everyone's eyes immediately lit up, and they all agreed with the suggestion.

Liu Ruyan was the first to respond, "Then we will use this frog as a test subject. If it succeeds, Little Green Mountain will be more adept at refining altars and large battle formations."

So, everyone began to express their opinions, launching a heated discussion around the Frog Saint.

As the implementer, Li Chengfeng carefully listened to everyone's ideas and incorporated them into his design.

The superb talisman brush in his hand, driven by the aura of righteousness, emitted a sharp and mysterious light, as if about to paint a shocking pattern on the Frog Saint's body.

As Li Chengfeng's brush moved like a swimming dragon, as fast as lightning, the Frog Saint's back, limbs, belly, and even toes and mouth were all engraved with intricate formation patterns.

These formations, like layers, overlapped, shimmering with brilliant and dim light, enveloping the entire Frog Saint.

When Li Chengfeng completed the final stroke, the entire scene seemed to be shrouded in a special power.

All the large formations suddenly began to operate, closely connected to the Frog Saint's destiny, as if becoming its natal formation.

This was an unprecedented attempt and a subject that Li Chengfeng had wanted to research for a long time.

He used the Frog Saint's body as a test subject, displaying everyone's ideas on it one by one.

In this way, even if these so-called Little Green Mountain elites were killed, Li Chengfeng could retain this valuable template and continue to develop his own formation system.

At this moment, he seemed to see a new world of formation studies opening its doors to him.

After completing the final stroke, Li Chengfeng suddenly retreated, put away the superb talisman brush in his hand, and looked at the Frog Saint with an experienced expression.

The Frog Saint initially seemed a little scared, but gradually, it seemed to have gotten used to the change, and the corners of its mouth even curled up into a cynical smile.

Suddenly, the Frog Saint's power exploded in full force, its demonic aura soared into the sky, and a small altar slowly rose from behind it.

Although the altar was not large, it exuded an extremely strange aura, as if some kind of power was surging inside.

The Frog Saint cackled loudly, saying triumphantly, "As expected of me, the Frog Saint, awe-inspiring the world, resounding throughout the universe! Who dares to compete with me!

If anyone with no eyes dares to challenge me, I can curse you to death with just a few words! Throughout the world, although there are many Confucian disciples, with the Frog Saint around, who dares to compete!"

It spoke more and more vigorously, completely immersed in the joy of its recent advancement to a second-order demon beast (equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage), its heart full of pride and self-satisfaction.

However, Li Chengfeng's cold snort was like a bolt from the blue, causing the Frog Saint to feel its scalp tingle, the altar on its back instantly disappeared, and the formation totems all over its body also vanished.

The Frog Saint immediately restrained its arrogant arrogance, put on a flattering expression, and looked at Li Chengfeng, saying, "Master, I was just talking nonsense.

You are the true Confucian master. In the future, Confucianism will surely create new glory under your guidance."

Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, not dwelling on it, and turned to Ye Bitong, saying, "Mountain Lord, you flatter me. My spirit pet is just too talkative, but it's not bad in other aspects.

The reason I took it as a spirit beast is because I think that as a Confucian cultivator, being well-versed in the books of sages is a basic skill, and if this mouth can be used to read, it will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort."

Everyone laughed upon hearing this, expressing their appreciation for Li Chengfeng's wit and humor.

At the same time, their eyes also revealed a look of excitement, full of anticipation for the upcoming plan.

Seeing this, Ye Bitong immediately issued an order, "Immediately activate this plan! Sister Qianxue, you immediately start raising spirit stones,

Go to the Treasure Pavilion to purchase all the necessary materials. We must build the Little Green Mountain altar as quickly as possible."

Hearing this, Lan Qianxue immediately nodded in agreement, saying that she would go all out to complete the task.

Everyone also began to take action, each performing their duties, to fully prepare for the construction of the Little Green Mountain altar.

The entire Little Green Mountain suddenly became busy, but everyone's hearts were filled with hope and passion, because they knew that this would be a new beginning, an opportunity for Little Green Mountain to shine in the entire cultivation world.

Ye Bitong, as the Mountain Lord of Little Green Mountain, looked solemn at this moment and made arrangements for everyone present.

She first signaled to Qinghui, asking him to follow her to the secret room to assist in perfecting the assassination formation against the great demon Li Chengfeng.

Then, she turned to Li Chengfeng and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, please come with me as well.

You and Qinghui both have profound attainments in the way of talismans. If it is a critical moment, I may need your help."

Hearing this, Li Chengfeng nodded in agreement, saying with a firm expression, "If the Mountain Lord commands, I will not refuse."

Qinghui also expressed himself righteously, saying, "If the Mountain Lord has instructions, I will go through fire and water, even to my death."

So, the three of them left together and arrived in front of Ye Bitong's secret room.

Ye Bitong smiled slightly and reminded, "The two of you wait here for a moment. I will summon you when I need someone.

Remember, this place is full of traps and mechanisms, so do not enter without permission, lest something unexpected happen."

Her words were light, but the meaning of warning was overflowing.

After listening, Li Chengfeng smiled indifferently, expressing his understanding, "Don't worry, Mountain Lord.

I will wait here quietly for your good news. If you don't need my help, I will never trespass."

Qinghui also nodded in agreement, and the two then looked at each other, each finding a place to sit down.

Li Chengfeng took out a book and began to read to pass the time.

And Ye Bitong walked into her secret room alone. This secret room was only separated from the outer hall by a wall.

However, she had carefully arranged countless complex formations to hide her true intentions and actions.

The layout of the secret room seemed simple, but it actually contained hidden mysteries, every detail revealing Ye Bitong's caution and wisdom.

She couldn't wait to walk to the incense table, her eyes falling on the Wordless Heavenly Book.

With a thought, the Old Demon instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke, revealing its figure.

Its body was surrounded by red flames, appearing enchanting and eerie.

The Old Demon cackled and said, "What does Master summon the Old Demon for? I have refined all the karma fire here, and my strength has greatly increased."

However, Ye Bitong sneered, staring at the Old Demon with piercing eyes, "Old Demon, you still dare to say you submitted to me? Why did you hide the power of the curse hidden in this Wordless Heavenly Book? Isn't that too insincere?

Hearing this, the Old Demon panicked and stammered, "Master... how did you know these things?

It's not that I didn't want to tell Master, it's just that the power of this curse is too strong. I was afraid that Master would accidentally get infected and suffer from it..."

A trace of coldness flashed in Ye Bitong's eyes, obviously not buying the Old Demon's sophistry.

She knew that to completely control the power of the Wordless Heavenly Book, she must first get rid of this hidden threat.
