ATG: Formation Master c32

Chu Yuechan and Chu Yueli looked at the red-robed girl in front of them. She was a delicate fairy with long black hair. The pair was still trying to process the fact that Cang Long was taking this girl as his wife!

“Good day to you two. I am Feng Xue’er, the Princess of Divine Phoenix Empire.” The girl respectfully bowed before them.

“Chu Yuechan.” 

“Chu Yueli.” 

Feng Xue’er looked at them, waiting for more information.

It became an awkward moment.

“Umm…”

“We are with Prince.” The Elder Chu announced.

“Are you two his consorts?” She asked while moving her head to the side. The girl looked like a cute animal to the pair.

Hard to resist…and not pat her head!

“No.”

“He took us as ‘his’ and that is about it.” Chu Yuechan explained.

Feng Xue’er looked at them, nodding in understanding. She got the idea. Her Royal Father did something similar.

However, she is surprised that Cang Long barely has any women at all.

“I am surprised that he took a wife. You are fortunate,” Chu Yueli said in a surprised tone, thinking in a similar direction.

“Truly? I thought he would have a huge harem with how impressive he is.” The Phoenix Princess is told from her perspective.

“Not at all. He is very picky.” Chu Yuechan shook her head as she recalled how many times he had ignored beauties.

“I see. Then I will make sure I ask him which women he wants to add to his harem.” Feng Xue’er stroked her chin as she was thinking of methods.

“As future Emperor of two Empires, he needs a considerable harem not to lose reputation as a Ruler.” The Princess explained, making the two fairies look at her with a weird look.

They didn’t expect to hear that from a Princess. She should be happy that she is the only wife-to-be at this moment!

But she wants to add more! Herself! 

“Are you certain you want that?” Chu Yuechan asked, trying to understand her train of thought.

“Of course! As future Emperor of Two Empires, he needs at least 900 wives.” Feng Xue’er announced.

“...900?” Chu Yueli squeaked, and here she thought that Blue Wind Emperor was already a womaniser with five wives!

“Double my Royal Father's amount. Honestly, maybe over a thousand? After all, he is the greatest conqueror in the recent history of the Profound Sky continent.” The Princess seriously pondered.

“Isn’t it a bit too much?” Chu Yuechan frowned. That’s an army, not a harem.

“Not at all. I am surprised, my sisters haven’t started your work as his harem.” Feng Xue’er sounded dissapointed.

“That hasn’t been on our mind.”

As the trio were talking, a distance away was Cang Long, sitting on a comfortable couch, drinking his tea and pondering life now that he had won the war.

His engagement party should invite Sacred Grounds. He already has reports of people in blue, green, and white robes watching from a distance.

Those were the Absolute Monarch, Sea Palace and Sword Region people. The Sun and Moon Hall most likely have spies in the cities.

Regardless, he will get their visit. If not, well…

He swirled the tea inside the cup.

“I will erase them.” They will cease to exist; having such power on his continent is not allowed.

They have been here far too long, becoming corrupt, allowing people like Xuanyuan Wentian to exist.

Honestly, he is not better himself, but that's the beauty of the cultivation world; everyone is a villain in one way or another.

After a while, Cang Long’s communication talisman vibrated. He fished it out and checked the message.

It was his royal father who announced that he would come to the Phoenix Imperial capital in two days.

“Is that so?” The Prince sighed. All he wanted to do now was laze a bit, but it seemed he needed to travel.

“Ji Chen, send the word, prepare my usual escort, and I will be going to Phoenix Capital. Take the armies back to Solid Earth City and wait for my return.

“Yes, my Prince, it shall be done.” His Lieutenant cupped his fist before leaving the tent.

In the meantime, Cang Long got up from his chair and walked to the girls.

“We will be going to the Phoenix Imperial City.” He got their attention.

“The treaty signing?” Chu Yuechan asked, as it had been a few days now.

“Yes, my Royal Father is coming to the capital,“ The Formation Prince said to the trio.

“So pack up, we are going.” 

The trio nodded; there was not much to pack, even less for Feng Xue’er as she arrived without anything.

Not long after, they left the military tent. Cang Long motioned, and from blue clouds, a dragon roar could be heard as Cang Long’s mount appeared. 

The Fire Dragon landed in front of him. He jumped on the saddle and looked at Feng Xue’er.

“Get on.” He motioned for her.

The Princess didn’t hesitate; she floated over. Cang Long got her to sit in the front. He hugged her, making the Phoenix Girl blush, as this was the second time they had got so close.

Without saying a word, the dragon spread its wings and got up from the ground at absurd speed. His escort soon followed after.

~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~

‘What the hell is this!?’ Yun Che rubbed his forehead as he read the questions! This was a legitimate scholar examination! 

Describe the most important things you need in combat formation creation.

‘How the hell am I supposed to know!?’

The guy bit a nail as he was looking for answers. He looked around, realising that everyone was writing eagerly.

They all knew what this was!

“I can see you are useless. Let me help.” Jasmine floated around, reading everyone’s answers. She ended by reading the answers of the black-haired girl Yun Che had spoken to before.

‘She is good. Very good!’ The crimson-haired girl was surprised by all the things this girl had already written down.

“Right, so listen up. For battle formations, you write—”

The girl explained that battle formations are prepared beforehand and rapidly cast in a battle through a medium.

The most important parts are intent, knowledge and profound energy control.

The other questions were about history, recent history, philosophy, things about Dragons, and why they are better than other beasts.

Honestly, Yun Che was confused by some of the stuff…

“And done!”

With hand motion, all of the papers flew into the lecturer’s hands.

“You will get your answers tomorrow. For now, move to the next hall, where you will receive timetables.” 

‘Timetables?’

The guy was confused and started to wonder if this was for cultivation at all. It sounded more like a place for scholars. 

As people left the hall, they saw more girls handing over tablets of some sort.

When Yun Che got his, he finally understood. These were timesheets for all the specific places.

The tablet shows him that he has 3 hours to spend in any of the specific cultivation formations.

To get more hours, he needs to perform well in tests and complete missions for the Profound Palace.

“Profound Energy Gathering Formation, Profound Comprehension Boosting Formation, Body Clensing Formation, Elemental Formations.”

Jasmine read through the timetable.

“You need to get more hours, Yun Che! I need to explore them!”

The girl was itching to learn. If this backwater city in the middle of nowhere has such formations, then what about the capital? The Imperial Profound Palace! It should be even more advanced.

“I hear you.” Yun Che looked at the formation that put pressure on the body. He can use that to reach Nascent Profound.

“Then don’t waste time!” She complained, finally, something new to learn, she doesn’t want to wait!

The guy rolled his eyes. What can he do? Just go there? The elders didn’t let them go yet!

“Now that you have your timetables, the Deacon will show you where you will be staying.”

After a bit, the Deacons motioned to follow as they were taken to a multi-floor building. There were five of them, each for a year. 

A bit later, he got a card like a talisman with a number on it. So he used the signs to find his room. He was on the fourth floor, and the number was 406.

Once he located the doors, he used the talisman to open them. The first one to enter was the crimson blur.

“Do you feel that? The Profound Energy is flowing through the whole room! The walls, the floor, even the ceiling. The density is much higher here than outside.”  She looked around.

If they can get such density in such a barren land, what about her place?

The girl’s crimson eyes gleamed. She needs to learn these formations! If not, she needs to get one so that he or she can make one for her!

If she could reach Peak Divine Master, she could have the power to face THAT MAN!

“Yeah, but it’s useless to me, I need to reach Nascent Profound First.” 

“Then don’t waste time and get to it!”

Yun Che grimaced. This red menace is starting to get to him mentally.

~~~~~~Meanwhile, on Other Side of The Comtinent~~~~~~

In the skies of Divine Phoenix Imperial City. A dragon's roar announced that the Crown Prince had arrived with his escort.

Outside the large Imperial Palace, large banners of the Phoenix Empire and the Blue Wind Empire were raised next to each other. 

Showing equal standing, at the end of the red carpet, the Phoenix Royal Family has lined up. Feng Zukui, his son Feng Tianwei, followed by the current Emperor Feng Hengkong and his most talented sons.

Feng Hengkong wasn’t in the best condition. His hand was covered in bandages, and half of his body was cooked in strong oil that he ordered ignited.

Not only is he in constant pain, but now his darling daughter is engaged to the Conqueror of their lands.

“Behave, don’t even dare to look at him wrongly. I will cripple you if you do that, do you understand?” Feng Zukui said to his children.

“...Yes, Father/Grandfather!”

As the dragon landed, Feng Hengkong trembled. he saw his daughter in his hands!

“Wonderful, they are bonding.” Feng Zukui happily nodded, and Feng Tianwei nodded at him.

“I should have thought of this, Father, like always, you know the best way.” The previous Emperor praised his father.

The old man nodded as he stroked his grey beard.

Cang Long and Princess jumped off the dragon’s back and began to walk towards the waiting Royals. The Crown Prince was holding her hand as they walked.

“My Royal Father will come in two days to finalise the treaty; in the meantime, I can spend time in your city.” The Formation Prince spoke with the Emperors of the Divine Phoenix Empire.

“That's Good. In the meantime, you can enjoy what our city has to offer.” The Ancestor of the Phoenix Clan nodded, already thinking about what kind of entertainment to provide.

“My Prince, could you show us your mastery over formations and heal my grand uncles and Royal Father?” Feng Xue’er hugged his hand as her eyes glistered with hope. The girl didn’t even realise that she was being seductive with her actions. She was far too pure to understand that!

Cang Long looked at those puppy eyes. He grimaced a bit. She is very powerful—way too powerful! 

“...I guess…” He tried to resist, but she kept bugging him with that puppy gaze.

“Wonderful! Tell me, do you need anything?” Feng Zukui looked pleased.

“Not really, just give me space.” He shook his head. 

“I see, then follow me.” The Ancestor motioned to follow. He was pleased that Cang Long ignored the Princes as they had ugly expressions on their faces.

If anything, Feng Xue’er’s request came at the right time.

As they walked, Cang Long’s dragon flew away and disappeared into blue clouds. All that was left was his escort, which followed at a distance away.

“Will this be enough?” Feng Zukui showed a large hall inside the Imperial Palace.
