Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 579: Transformation

The Village Chief received the book of formation and noticed that there are only three kinds of formation inside. One for defense, one for killing and one for healing. Even though there are only three arrays in it, each of them was beyond the strength of what they have right now. However, this is what they truly need at this moment.

The Village Chief said, "This is good. These three arrays are what we need the most!"

The villagers were delighted,

"We are saved! Saved!"

"Ah! A hope! We can survive now!"

The three who had indirectly sent the book of arrays were stunned with what the village chief had just said. The three had just secretly returned and were hiding behind their Ancestor’s egg when they heard what the village chief had just said.

Baimei said, {Eh? Did we hear it correctly? Does that book only have three arrays?}

"Impossible! I’ve read that book before. There is no way there are only three!" said Xue Renxue. "I’m right aren’t I, Bing’er?"

"That’s a book of arrays from the Mistress itself. She had written and created it when she was bored. There should be at least a thousand arrays in that book. For it to only retain three arrays, then that means our interference was allowed. But only three within the thousands arrays were allowed," said Tan Bingyu.

This princess of Tan Clan turned serious at this moment. When this world they are in made changes on that book she didn’t even feel any shift of energy which meant the one who made a move had done it before their eyes and they didn’t notice anything. Just how powerful that person is to make such a move without one noticing.

Feng Bingrui noticed the change in Tan Bingyu. Though trying to find the right answer is the correct path, overdoing it was never a good thing. Once one overthinks, the result would be further from the truth.

{Xiao Bing, don’t overthink. These three arrays are enough. A thousand will be considered too much. Your Mistress must have deep understanding with formations and arrays, that this world itself prevented it as it may cause the balance of the world to be destroyed.}

{Those three arrays that were left behind. I’m afraid as long as one controls it properly even a Peak Mahayama Realm cannot break it. You have a powerful master.} 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Tan Bingyu who was usually expressionless suddenly smiled and said, "Of course. No one can defeat the Empress."

Everyone watches as the village chief and the other villagers talk about the arrays and the materials to build it. But there seems to be one problem, one important material in the list was something they didn’t know about. Tan BIngyu and the others overheard the conversation between the villagers and learned what they were worrying about.

"What is this spirit stone this book is talking about?" A villager asked. "Do you do this?" He asked another villager.

Village Chief Xue frowned, "The spirit stones are the source of energy of these arrays. It’s not the same as us using our qi. Is there a difference? Where can we get such a thing?"

But most villagers shook their heads when they were asked about the spirit stone. Thankfully, Feng Bingrui, is someone from the Immortal World and knew about the existence of spirit stones. Since this is something that was used as a currency in the Immortal World, he had a lot in his inner world.

{Xue’er, don’t worry. I have those Spirit Stones,} Feng Bingrui said as a few rainbow colored spirits stones appeared in thin air and fell in Chief Xue’s arms.

Village Chief Xue looked at the rainbow colored gem like stone with the size of a fist in her arm and observed it closely.

"Are these spirit stones? Are you really going to give it to us, Rui-ge?" She asked.

Feng Bingrui said, {It’s yours. But those are high-grade spirit stones. Just one enough for an array to last for a year at least. It can be used to activate those arrays in the book. You should work on it now.}

The Village Chief said, "Thank you, Rui-ge!" She runs off with the other villagers and starts building the three arrays according to the instructions in the book.

Once the village chief and the villagers were gone again, only then did Tan Bingyu, Xue Renxue and Baimei come out from behind the egg. They watch the villagers working on the array together.

Xue Renxue asked, "They should be alright now right?"

{Let’s not talk about it. We might jinx it,} said Baimei.

Xue Renxue asked again, "Are we not going to help build it? It would be faster that way."

"If we help them with making it, it would be considered our doing and it might get taken back. Let them take their time," said Tan Bingyu.

Even though Tan Bingyu said these words, after three days had passed, the village chief and the villagers still hadn’t built the foundation of the arrays. Creating formations are extremely into details, one part wrong and everything could go wrong. They had watched the village making it and failing again for three straight days. In the end, Tan Bingyu can only pretend to point out things indirectly allowing the formation to be made.

"Ah? Don’t you think this part here is a bit weird?"

"Why are you putting it there?"

"Ah! Isn’t it supposed to be here?"

Xue Renxue and Baimei watch as Tan Bingyu walks around pretending to stumble here and there. Would accidentally place materials in this area or something else. She never did anything directly that no one would have guessed that every of her movements were intentionally done by her to help them make the array faster. Just as the village was about to finish the defensive array, they noticed that the temperature in the area had suddenly dropped.

A villager asked, "Don’t you think it had gotten so cold all of the sudden?"

"Focus at work. You should have worn something thicker today!" Another village retorted.

A commotion was suddenly heard, "What the hell? What is happening with this shadow?"

"What shadow?"

When a villager looked up, it saw a huge ice shard falling onto them and his face turned pale in fright.

"Hail... Hail falling!!"

"No way! Did the hailstorm fall again?"

"Ah don’t run! The formation is breaking!!"

With the sudden chaos breaking out, the village chief noticed this commotion and looked up. She jumped towards the hail and destroyed it to pieces before it fell to her village. A loud explosion appeared above the village.

Village Chief Xue said, "Hurry! Hurry and complete this defensive array!! Focus on it! Leave the hail to me!"

"Yes, village chief!" The villagers said as they hurried the creation of the array.

Unfortunately, even if they increased their speed in making the array, the second wave of the hailstorm had descended. Seeing the falling ice block from the sky, the village chief tried to block everything. It was still alright with the first and the second round. However, once the storm has arrived, it is almost impossible for one person to destroy the falling ice in the sky alone.

Village Chief Xue had already spent most of her qi blocking a few dozens of hail falling onto the village but it had no intention of stopping its fall, instead it just increased more in number.

Just as she blocked the nearest hail, the village chief could only watch as the rest of the ice block fell. Just as she was about to feel despair as she can imagine the disaster that was about to destroy her home, Xue Renxue and Baimei made their move.

Xue Renxue used the sword artifact from the Moon Goddess to cut the huge ice into smaller pieces and let it fall as pellet size to the ground. While Baimei clawed the ice only cutting it enough to avoid it falling onto the houses.

"You guys!"

Village Chief Xue was stunned as she didn’t expect that these youngsters were this skilled. Even though their realms are a bit low compared to theirs, their sword techniques and spells were all high grade.

"Senior, descend and meditate. We will handle the ice falling in the sky. You focus on the array! Bing’er, said she will activate her domain to temporarily block the hail before the activation of the array." Xue Renxue said as he lightly pushed down the village chief while he flew towards the falling hail and once again cutting it to small pieces.

Those who were hit below would just feel a bit of pain, it was the same feeling when someone threw a small rock at them. Baimei would also run around the ground to save some villagers who trip and fall on the ground. While Tan Bingyu was watching the change in the sky and would immediately back her dao companion in case he can no longer bear it alone.

The village chief can see that the young man was about to end up like her, overusing his qi to destroy the hail. She is nervous and couldn’t ask the villagers about the progress of the array.

She asked, "Has the array been completely made yet!?"

"Just a bit more... Close enough!"

"Hurry! That child cannot block all those hail alone!" Village Chief Xue said.

Suddenly the worst situation came, the sky was suddenly covered with a doze of ice shards falling from the sky at the same time.

"Ah! Look at the sky!"

"No way... How can this be?!"

{Renxue, Retreat!!} Baimei shouted as she noticed that Xue Renxue had no intention of backing down.

Tan Bingyu’s expression turned into that of a panic. She was about to see her beloved get injured when she felt her whole body boil with urgency. The next moment before she can react, a sound of a bird comes out of her mouth and she transforms.

CAWS~

An ice phoenix ascended from the ground and grabbed Xue Renxue protectively while destroying the ice shards that were onto them. The sight of an ice phoenix suddenly flying towards the sky was such a beautiful sight and everyone, including the outsider, were dumbfounded by the scene.
