Chapter 397 Deterrence
He did recognize the array pattern, but when they were put together, he didn't recognize it.
The array core was unfamiliar, beyond his knowledge of arrays, and he couldn't understand it.
How could this array core be other arrays?
And this array, which was clearly only of the first grade, contain eleven array patterns?
Sun Yi's eyes went dark for a moment, and he was puzzled.
Then he thought again:
"Is this kid lying to me?"
"Is he giving me a fake array?"
Sun Yi speculated in his heart, and then denied it himself.
Impossible...
Although he couldn't understand it, he always had a vague feeling that this was indeed a complete array, and an extremely profound array.
More likely, it was the array left by his Sun family ancestor!
In this case, it was normal that he couldn't understand it.
Because this was the array passed down by his ancestors.
His own array attainments were far from those of his ancestors, so it was normal that he couldn't learn it.
But what he couldn't accept was.
He couldn't learn this formation, but this little formation master surnamed Mo could actually learn it?
He was a foundation-building cultivator, and this kid was just refining qi.
Being able to draw the formation left by the ancestors, doesn't it mean that this kid's formation level is comparable to the ancestor of his Sun family?
Sun Yi's heart was in turmoil, and he murmured:
"Impossible..."
Sun Ze, who was standing aside, saw that his father was completely dumbfounded when he saw the formation, and his expression kept changing, so he whispered:
"Dad..."
Sun Yi came back to his senses, but he was still frightened.
Sun Ze asked: "Dad, is it this formation?"
Sun Yi frowned, nodded slowly, and then shook his head.
"Dad, what do you mean?" Sun Ze didn't understand.
Sun Yi didn't say anything.
He couldn't just say in front of so many people that he couldn't understand it, couldn't learn it, so he wasn't sure...
Sun Ze thought for a while and tried:
"How about we take this kid down and torture him?"
Sun Ze gently clenched his fist, "No matter how hard his mouth is, it's not as hard as a fist. Beat him up and he'll confess everything."
Sun Yi was a little hesitant.
The other side heard Mo Hua's crisp voice:
"The formation is given to you, it's time to make way, those who break their promises will not have a good end!"
"Dad..." Sun Ze was also urging.
Sun Yi frowned and struggled.
He didn't dare, but he was unwilling.
If this boy really had such a high attainment in the formation, he would never dare to do it.
But he was unwilling to let them go.
He had thought before that he would first trick the formation into his hands, and then catch Mo Hua and force him to marry into the Sun family and work for them.
But at that time, he thought Mo Hua was just talented, and his formation level would not be higher than his.
Now seeing this formation, he suddenly realized that he had underestimated this young cultivator.
At the same time, he also overestimated himself.
He had ridiculed before, saying that this kid would never be able to learn the formation of his Sun family ancestor. Now it seems that the one who really can't learn it is himself...
But can a seventh-level Qi Refining really draw such a formation?
Sun Yi still didn't believe it.
Is this kid lying to me?
Sun Yi frowned and asked:
"Boy, have you learned this formation?"
Mo Hua nodded, "Yes."
Sun Yi's eyelids jumped.
He pondered for a moment, and suddenly his face sank again, and he said with a fake smile:
"This formation is the ancestral formation of my Sun family, and it is not passed on to others. Since you have learned it, you are a member of my Sun family. You need to join my Sun family, work for my Sun family, and repay my Sun family's kindness."
Repaying kindness is fake, keeping talents is real.
Sun Yi decided to take a gamble.
He figured out a truth.
The formation of the ancestors was so profound that he might not be able to learn it in his lifetime.
He couldn't learn it, but this kid should be able to.
Even if he couldn't, it didn't matter.
Just based on his talent for formation, he would let him marry into the Sun family and give birth to a child with Sun family blood.
Formation geniuses are not easy to find.
He wanted to keep this kid's formation talent in the Sun family, and pass it down from generation to generation with the help of Sun family blood.
So no matter whether this little formation master learned this formation or not, he would keep him today.
Sun Yi said this, just to go back on his word and tear his face apart.
The Sun family cultivators were ready to move.
Ling Nong clenched his sword and gun, looking alert.
Ding Dachuan also cursed angrily, "As a dignified head of the family, he doesn't keep his word, it's like farting!"
Sun Yi just sneered and ignored him.
He just looked at Mo Hua and asked loudly: "Little brother, what do you think? If you marry into my Sun family, the Sun family will definitely treat you well."
But Mo Hua shook his head and said: "Your Sun family is too small, I'm afraid there is no room for me."
Sun Yi was startled and laughed:
"Our Sun family is big enough for you to live in!"
Mo Hua said reservedly: "I am also a person of status."
At such a young age, what status do you have?
Sun Yi sneered in his heart and said with a fake smile on his face: "No matter what your status is, our Sun family can accommodate you."
"Really?"
Mo Hua smiled faintly, took out a ring and put it on his white and tender little hand.
The ring is white jade inlaid with gold, simple and luxurious.
There are nine star marks engraved on it, symbolizing the ninth grade of formation.
A little starlight above the star mark symbolizes the real first-grade formation master recognized by the Dao Court.
Sun Yi's smile disappeared, and his pupils shook violently:
"Tianshu Ring?!"
Sun Ze didn't know why his father was so surprised, and asked in confusion:
"What is Tianshu Ring?"
Sun Yi trembled and said: "Tianshu Ring... He... is a first-grade formation master..."
As soon as these words came out, all the Sun family cultivators took a breath of cold air and showed disbelief.
The Sun family has a legacy of formations, although not many, but there are still some.
There are also many formation masters in the family.
They are well aware of the difficulty of formation masters being graded.
In remote states, formation masters who can pass the graded test are rare.
Even the head of the family, Sun Yi, has not been able to be graded as a first-grade formation master until now.
But now this ten-year-old cultivator is actually a first-grade formation master? !
Even if he has learned formations since his mother's womb, it is impossible...
That's a first-grade formation master.
Formation masters who have not been graded are only "self-proclaimed" formation masters.
Only those who have been graded by the Tianshu Pavilion of the Dao Court can be considered as true formation masters.
In other words, once a formation master is graded, the Tianshu Pavilion, one of the seven central pavilions of the Dao Court, stands behind him.
It is considered a leap from a fish to a dragon, and his status and position are different from ordinary cultivators.
"Is that really the Tianshu ring?"
"How do I know?"
"The head of the family said it is, so it should be..."
The Sun family cultivators lowered their voices and discussed.
Most of the Sun family's formation masters, let alone the qualification to participate in the qualification, naturally have never seen the Tianshu ring.
Sun Ze also asked in a low voice: "Dad, is that really the Tianshu ring?"
Sun Yi was still shocked and nodded slowly.
Relying on his status as a foundation-building cultivator and half-formation master, he visited several first-grade formation masters and saw the white jade inlaid with gold, Tianshu rings on their hands.
At that time, he was envious and jealous, so he was deeply impressed.
Sun Yi dreamed that one day he would pass the qualification and have his own Tianshu ring.
But he never expected that he had not yet qualified, and now this ten-year-old cultivator already had a Tianshu ring in his hand.
"Is it stolen?" Sun Ze asked again.
Sun Yi frowned again.
He thought it must have been stolen, but he felt it was impossible.
The formation master regarded the Tianshu ring as his life, how could it be so easy to steal?
It was even more impossible for someone to dare to steal the Tianshu ring and show it off blatantly.
Sun Yi looked at Mo Hua again.
Mo Hua's fair little hand, wearing such a solemn and luxurious ring, looked a little incredible.
But this Tianshu ring was indeed similar to his aura.
And his demeanor and temperament when wearing the ring were indeed the bearing of a first-class formation master.
Sun Ze's eyes were greedy, and a cold light flashed, and he whispered:
"Dad, let's grab the ring!"
This time Sun Yi couldn't help it, and slapped him directly.
"Do you want to die?!"
Sun Ze was stunned by the slap, his eyes were confused, and he didn't know what taboo he had violated.
Sun Yi gritted his teeth and explained in a low voice:
"You are not a bandit, not a bandit, but a family cultivator!"
"You have a name, a surname, and a family property. Such a large mansion is built in Qianjia Town. Every cultivator in the family is listed in the Dao Court."
"How dare you steal the Tianshu ring of a first-grade array master?"
"First-grade array masters are recognized by the Tianshu Pavilion, and the Central Dao Court stands behind them!"
"You stole the Tianshu ring, which offended the Tianshu Pavilion and disobeyed the Dao Court."
"If the higher-ups investigate, it is possible that our entire Sun family will be executed!"
...
Sun Yi became more and more angry as he spoke, and slapped Sun Ze again.
Sun Ze was shocked and dared not speak.
Sun Yi's remaining anger gradually subsided, and he sighed deeply, and said with fear:
"This little cultivator, our Sun family can't afford to offend..."
