Chapter 2548: Chapter 2551: Help When Help Is Needed

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Two hundred spiritual seals appeared in the sky. Around Su Qingluan, there were a hundred and twenty spiritual seals, while Jiang Chen had a hundred surrounding him.

"Not bad, reaching the Grandmaster level of spiritual seals in such a short time!"

Su Qingluan glanced at Jiang Chen with a hint of surprise in her eyes, chuckling as she praised him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen took a look at the spiritual seals around Su Qingluan and chuckled, "Elder Su, don’t tease me. This probably isn’t your true strength, is it?"

"Oh? You’re trying to catch up with me so soon."

Su Qingluan smiled slightly.

"Catch up with you?"

Jiang Chen’s expression changed slightly, his face breaking into a teasing smile, and he declared, "Elder Su, I’m engaged!"

"You..."

Su Qingluan’s face reddened, giving Jiang Chen a glare before turning around to continue arranging the formation, ignoring him.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and also continued to set up the formation.

"Grandmaster of Spirit Arrays!"

"Mr. Jiang is also a Grandmaster of Spirit Arrays!"

Jiang Chen and Su Qingluan chatted leisurely in the sky, while those waiting below changed their expressions suddenly.

Elder Feng exhaled deeply, sighing, "If that little drunkard hadn’t already contacted the academy, I would have snatched him into the academy by now."

"The Son of Heavenly Dao with the powers of six Great Paths, and a Grandmaster of Spirit Arrays, this guy..."

Si Huang’er showed a hint of amazement in her eyes, followed by a strong battle intent.

"The Necrotic Tide this time might be the luckiest moment of my life, Kuang Long! Someday, I should feel proud and honored because of this Necrotic Tide!"

Kuang Long looked at the figure setting up spirit arrays in the sky, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"There are four levels of Grandmasters of Spirit Arrays, the first level being ordinary Grandmasters of Spirit Arrays."

In the sky, Su Qingluan softly introduced while setting up the formation.

"The first level refers to spirit array masters who can arrange less than a hundred spiritual seals. The power of their spirit arrays is equivalent to the attacks of cultivators at the Divine Infant Realm."

Perhaps because of Jiang Chen’s teasing words earlier, Su Qingluan felt somewhat stirred and didn’t look at Jiang Chen while saying softly:

"The second level is the Hundred-Seals Grandmaster, capable of condensing one hundred to nine hundred and ninety-nine spiritual seals; these spirit array masters are equivalent to cultivators at the Void Refinement Realm;

The third level is the Thousand-Seals Grandmaster, capable of arranging one thousand to nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine spiritual seals, creating spirit arrays comparable to those at the Unity Realm Stage;

The last level is the Ten-Thousand-Seals Grandmaster, whose spirit arrays hold the power equivalent to Semi-Saint strength."

Jiang Chen nodded upon hearing this. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Though his current spiritual seal formations are not as powerful as those arranged with Spirit Stones, he already deeply feels the ingenuity of the spiritual seal formation.

He believes that once he masters spiritual seal formations, he might be able to face off against the realm-constrained Qi Shan without relying on Heavenly-tier Battle Techniques.

After all, those Heavenly-tier Battle Techniques consume too much spiritual power and the power of the Great Dao. If not for his fully opened meridian points and the fusion of the Five Elements Great Path into the Great Dao Wheel of Light, he wouldn’t even have the ability to use such an attack.

Moreover, after executing that strike, which appeared to fiercely kill Lin Guanghui and another, he was essentially spent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed to rest for a day before entering this grand formation.

If he could arrange a powerful spiritual seal formation, things would be different.

As Jiang Chen and others entered, the large formation covering a hundred miles stopped trembling as the forces that nearly shattered it seemed to have weakened.

As the current controller of the formation, Jiang Chen was quite aware that the formation vibrated not because it was about to break but because it couldn’t contain the numerous Necro Spirits.

To break this grand formation, the formation base must be removed!

With this thought, Jiang Chen glanced at the central location of the grand formation where the formation base lay, and even Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel a wave of excitement upon seeing it!

He glanced around at those combating Necro Spirits from various forces, silently muttering that he’d need to deal with them before retrieving that item, which was the greatest treasure in the City Lord’s Mansion!

Time slowly passed amid the cyclical slaying of Necro Spirits, and a week flew by without anyone noticing.

During this week, the Necro Spirits within the formation space dwindled until they’d been completely eradicated.

"Brother Jiang, thank you!"

After all Necro Spirits were slain, Zuo Qingfei approached Jiang Chen and clasped his hands in salute, "If Brother Jiang can overcome this crisis, you must visit my home when passing through the Array Spirit Domain so that I can show you some hospitality."

"No need!"

Before Jiang Chen could respond, Su Qingluan declined Zuo Qingfei’s invitation on his behalf.

Jiang Chen and Zuo Qingfei were both taken aback, looking at Su Qingluan in confusion.

"The Formation Family Zuo Clan in the Central Region belongs to your clan, doesn’t it?"

Su Qingluan looked at Zuo Qingfei calmly.

"Yes! Does the young lady know someone from my Zuo Clan?"

Zuo Qingfei looked at Su Qingluan in puzzlement.

"I am from the Su Family, and Jiang Chen is the person I invited to participate in the clan competition."

Su Qingluan said plainly.

Zuo Qingfei paused, stared at Su Qingluan deeply, with an understanding appearing in his eyes, and turned to Jiang Chen with a gentle smile, "Brother Jiang, it seems soon we’ll become opponents. I hope Brother Jiang can show me mercy then."

"Just say the word."

Jiang Chen looked at Su Qingluan in surprise before nodding at Zuo Qingfei.

"Then I shall take my leave first. Though the clans oppose each other, I still regard Brother Jiang as a friend. I hope Brother Jiang can pass the hurdle of the Abandoned Town, and during the clan competition, we can drink and celebrate together!"

Zuo Qingfei offered his farewell with a clasped hand.

Jiang Chen returned the gesture.

With Zuo Qingfei’s departure, members of various forces expressed thanks to Jiang Chen and turned to leave the grand formation.

Over this period, everyone had investigated the grand formation thoroughly and had found nothing of value, so they left confidently.

"Elder Su, what is this clan competition you mentioned?"

Jiang Chen asked Su Qingluan in confusion.

"The clan competition I mentioned is the same contest as the one in Huang’er’s clan, but Huang’er’s clan focuses on individual strength, whereas the competition our family participates in tests formation expertise!"

Su Qingluan spoke softly, "Though our family doesn’t have the awkward status of Huang’er’s clan, winning the competition provides significant benefits, so you should focus on formation expertise. Being a Hundred-Seals Grandmaster is nothing significant, and it’s laughable if you use Spirit Stones to set up formations during the competition."

"Understood."

Jiang Chen nodded.

The two didn’t exchange pleasantries; Su Qingluan didn’t ask whether Jiang Chen would be willing to help.

Nor did Jiang Chen comment on it; they didn’t need such courteous discussions anymore.

Of course, he would help when needed!
