297: If this formation can be used, it will shock the world.

Qin Zhe, who was still outside the house, heard Xin Mulan’s shocked shout from inside: “Holy crap! Old Qin, the Nine Stars Locking Yang Grand Formation you mentioned, could it be the entire Solar System?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhe was startled and quickly stepped into the room, only to hear Old Qin’s calm voice say: “Yes, haven’t I told you all before?”

Qin Zhe couldn’t help but roll his eyes, saying helplessly: “Come on, big brother, you did mention the Nine Stars Locking Yang Grand Formation, but you never said it was the entire Solar System!”

Old Qin shrugged helplessly, a hint of apology in his tone: “Uh… sorry, I thought you knew, I was overthinking it.”

At this moment, Xin Mulan suddenly interjected: “Hey, didn’t scientists already kick Pluto out? It’s no longer among the nine planets; now there are only eight!”

Qin Zhe shook his head, refuting: “That’s just the scientists’ definition; for us Cultivators, it doesn’t count.”

Xin Mulan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, then plopped down on a chair, grabbed an apple from the table, and took a big bite.

Instantly, the apple made a crisp sound, and juice overflowed.

Following that, while chewing the apple, she asked indistinctly: “So, according to you, what should we do next?”

Qin Zhe shrugged again, indicating that he was also helpless: “Well, we can only see what Li Mu can do; I have no other way…”

After Qin Zhe and Xin Mulan exchanged glances, they both turned their attention to Old Qin, wanting to hear his opinion on the matter.

Old Qin was lazily lying on the bed, looking indifferent, and casually said: “Why are you looking at me? Am I too handsome for you?!”

Hearing this, Xin Mulan rolled her eyes helplessly, while Qin Zhe stared at his future self with a look of disbelief.

He never expected his future self’s personality to be so…

After a while, the three of them chatted aimlessly for a bit longer, then got up and left.

Xin Mulan and Qin Zhe walked side by side, chatting all the way.

“Do you think Li Mu can successfully activate the Nine Stars Locking Yang Grand Formation?” Xin Mulan suddenly asked.

“Hard to say. Didn’t Li Mu’s diary mention that even in the future, he couldn’t activate this Formation? It seems this Formation might not be as easy to break as imagined,” Qin Zhe analyzed.

He then added: “That being said, Li Mu’s strength is unfathomable; perhaps he can successfully activate it this time!”

“Hmm, makes sense. If Li Mu needs my help, I’ll definitely do my best!” Xin Mulan stated firmly.

Qin Zhe looked at the excited Xin Mulan and joked: “It’s easy for you to say. Who among us doesn’t want to help Li Mu? But the problem is, do we have the ability? Sometimes you think you’re helping someone, but you might actually be causing trouble or holding them back!”

Suddenly remembering something, he looked at Xin Mulan beside him, “By the way, didn’t Li Mu say he was going to the Cultivation Academy before? Why didn’t you go with him?”

Xin Mulan sighed helplessly: “Alas, I did go to the Cultivation Academy, but I waited and waited and never saw Li Mu. Not only that, Sister Jin Meiting and Lan Kun are still there. I really don’t know when Li Mu will finally come…”

As the two were chatting, they unexpectedly ran into the Second Elder on the way.

Xin Mulan and Qin Zhe quickly bowed to him and asked with full of doubts: “Second Elder, you’re in such a hurry, where are you going?”

The Second Elder gently stroked the Treasure Seeking Rat in his arms and replied with a smile: “Oh, it’s you two. Well, the Grand Elder needs to see me, so I’m rushing over now.”

Hearing this, Xin Mulan and Qin Zhe exchanged glances, secretly guessing—the Grand Elder summoning the Second Elder at this moment was most likely because of what Li Mu said about the Nine Stars Locking Yang Grand Formation concerning the entire Solar System.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhe immediately cupped his hands and bowed: “In that case, we won’t bother the Second Elder anymore. We still have some matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave first.”

After the Second Elder nodded slightly, he walked with steady steps towards the Grand Elder’s office.

Pushing open the door, sure enough, the Grand Elder was sitting there with a solemn expression, seemingly having waited for a long time.

As soon as the Second Elder was seated comfortably, the Grand Elder spoke directly: “Regarding the matter of the Nine Stars Locking Yang Grand Formation…”

Before the Grand Elder could finish, the Second Elder suddenly sprang from his seat, his face filled with unconcealable astonishment.

He widened his eyes and asked with a slight tremor in his voice: “Is it really true?”

The Grand Elder nodded slightly in affirmation and continued: “Indeed. Although I had heard a little about the Nine Stars Locking Yang Grand Formation before, I never expected its scale to be so vast, covering the entire Solar System.”

After hearing this, the Second Elder slowly sat back down in his chair, pondering for a moment, and couldn’t help but exclaim: “If this Formation can be activated, it will surely shake the universe; how magnificent!”

For a moment, the room fell silent, both men awestruck by this world-shaking Formation.

… … … …

Just then, Jin Meiting and Lan Kun also happened to encounter Li Mu, who was checking the status of the Cultivation Academy’s Spirit Gathering Formation.

Seeing this, the two quickly stepped forward.

Li Mu showed no surprise upon seeing Jin Meiting and Lan Kun; instead, his lips curved into a slight smile, and he chuckled softly: “You two are here!”

Jin Meiting nodded slightly in agreement, then explained: “We happened to meet Senior Wu Ya on the way, and from him, we learned you were at the Cultivation Academy, so we rushed over immediately.”

Li Mu nodded slightly in response. At this moment, Lan Kun noticed that Li Mu seemed to be observing something, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart, so he asked: “What are you looking at?”

Li Mu’s lips curved into a faint smile as he replied: “Nothing special, Senior Wu Ya just mentioned that the scenery of the Cultivation Academy is very beautiful and suggested that I appreciate it more while I’m here.”

Jin Meiting’s lips held a brilliant smile as she enthusiastically said to Li Mu: “Li Mu, when did you get here? We also came to the Cultivation Academy because we had some matters to deal with, and we really didn’t expect to meet you.”

Lan Kun’s expression instantly became a bit uncomfortable upon hearing Jin Meiting’s words.

After all, when they were in the army, everyone was very direct; if it was good, it was good; if it wasn’t, it wasn’t. There weren’t so many complex thoughts and schemes; all problems were solved simply and brutally with fists.

However, how could any of this escape Li Mu’s eyes?

Li Mu subtly glanced at Jin Meiting and Lan Kun, already understanding in his heart that they were actually deliberately waiting for him to appear at the Cultivation Academy.

However, Li Mu didn’t expose them; instead, he continued to feign surprise, smiling and saying: “Then… what a coincidence!”
