Then Thomas looked at Minamoto and said, "Tell us about your idea. How can we handle this situation for 5 minutes?"
Minamoto replied, "We have to provide spiritual energy to Xing Tian."
"And how are we going to do that?" Gu Jian asked.
"Did you forget about the Qi Gathering Formation?"
"No, I don't know about this formation." Gu Jian said
"Then let me tell you how the formation works. Basically, you have to place spiritual stones in a star shape and start the formation with a talisman called 'Black Hole.' This talisman will suck all the energy from the outside and transfer it to whoever is inside that formation."
"I know that. But you see, the spiritual energy around here is almost gone. Xing Tian absorbed all the energy for his breakthrough." Thomas said
"I know that. My plan is:-we can provide him our own spiritual energy for 5 minutes."
"Wait a minute. Are you trying to say that instead of using the world's spiritual energy, we have to provide special energy from our bodies?"
"Yes. You see, the spiritual energy here is gone now. We don't have any other choice."
Thomas said, "Let me think for some time."
"There is no time for thinking! Look at Xing Tian! Did you see the white light change into blue energy? That means he is using his soul power for this breakthrough."
They looked and saw blood coming from Xing Tian's mouth, nose, and eyes. Also, the energy around him had disappeared completely, and the white light had indeed changed into a blue light.
Minamoto continued, "And you guys know Xing Tian is not a soul cultivator. His soul power cannot handle the spiritual energy for long. If this continues, he might die."
Thomas, the most intelligent among those five elders, immediately said, "Okay then, guys, prepare the Qi Gathering Formation. Place the spiritual stones in a star shape." Thomas said, "Okay, so half of the work is done. Now we just have to use the Black Hole Talisman on this formation to make it work." He checked his space ring, trying to find the Black Hole Talisman, but he couldn't find one.
"Guys, I can't find the Black Hole Talisman. Does anyone have that talisman?"
Everyone checked their space rings. Minamoto said, "No, I don't have any." Su Yan also said the same. Gu Jian didn't have any either. The situation became tense because this was their last chance to save Xing Tian. All this time, Tian Zhen was watching from the side. He understood the situation. He quickly checked his space ring and tried to find that talisman.
"I have that talisman that I put on my ring. Why can't I find it now?" After some searching, he found something. Then he said, "Elders, I found the Black Hole Talisman!"
Every elder looked at him and exclaimed, "What did you say? You found the Black Hole Talisman?"
"Yes."
They all felt relieved. Thomas said, "Quickly, give me that Black Hole Talisman."
"Okay," then he gave the talisman to Thomas.
After receiving the talisman, Thomas activated the Qi Gathering Formation. The formation glowed with a golden light. Thomas said, "Quickly, start transferring your spiritual energy into this formation." Hearing this, every elder began transferring their special energy to that formation. Tian Zhen also started transferring his spiritual energy to the formation.
The Holy Emperor Clan Leader was watching all of this from his room. He activated the voice transmission skill and said to his father, "Father, should I also transfer my spiritual energy to the formation?"
Thomas said, "No, you don't have to transfer your spiritual energy to this formation. You come here and guard us while we transfer our spiritual energy."
"Why? You guys are so strong. Who is going to attack the five great elders in the Cultivation Continent?"
"Just do as I say. And if you still want to know the reason, look at the Ming Clan residence. I feel a strong killing intent from there. We can't move now; if they attack us, we'll have to move, and the formation will stop."
"Ohh, I understand everything now. I am coming with some clan elders to guard you guys."
"Yeah, come quickly. By the way, do you know why those guys are giving us that much killing intent?"
"Father, they are not releasing killing intent for you guys. They are releasing their killing intent toward Elder Xing Tian."
"Wait, what?! They are releasing their spiritual energy to Xing Tian? Why?"
"Why, Father? You don't know what happened some time ago? Aren't you one of the elders of this ceremony? What were you doing at that time?"
"Ahem... He felt embarrassed and said I was fighting with a demon at that time. You just tell me what happened earlier."
Alex knew about his father's personality. Without another word, he started saying what had happened some time ago.
Hearing all of this, Thomas got angry. "What did you say? How dare they touch a lady in the ceremony? Don't they know that I am an elder of this ceremony? Looks like I personally have to teach them a lesson."
Alex knew this would happen because his father respected all women. Now that someone had insulted a woman, he wasn't going to stop. Then he said, "Father, we are coming to guard you guys."
Scene shift to the Ming Clan :
The clan leader was very angry with Xing Tian because of the insult. There was one word in his mind: revenge. But he thought, "How can I get revenge on him? Even Father, the strongest person in our clan, is nothing in front of him." He needed an opportunity for his revenge. But after some time, the opportunity came to them.
"I didn't expect that the opportunity would come to me so soon. I can't miss this opportunity. I have to grab this opportunity and get my revenge." Then he loudly spoke to his clan members, "Do you all remember the insult they gave our clan some time ago?"
"Do you guys wish for revenge?"
Everyone they brought from their clan was around his age. Their personalities were similar. They all said, "Yes, we remember." So they felt the insult the same way that Ming Tian felt. So they all said, "Yes, we all want revenge for our insult."
Hearing this, his father was scared. His hands were shaking. He went close to Ming Tian and said, "What are you trying to do?"
"I think you understand what I want to do."
"Don't do that. Our clan will be finished if we make a move."
"No, it will not happen. Did you forget I am already at the Lose Immortal realm? I can kill them all while they are busy."
"No, you can't. You can't understand their power. You are nothing in front of them. Each elder can wipe out our entire clan in one attack."
"I am going to do that. And did you forget about the clan rules? In the clan, the leader's word is absolute. If you don't listen to the clan's word, you can leave the clan."
"Okay. I think there is no way to save you. But there is a way to save myself. From now on, I am not a part of the Ming Clan. But I will give you one last warning: do not provoke them, or you will die."
"Seriously, are you really quitting the clan? Okay then, just watch how I destroy the elders."
Then he left for the ground with his clan members to kill those five elders.
His clan people told him, "Sir, the Grand Elder left the clan. Aren't you going to do anything about that?"
"Oh, forget about Father. After we defeat the elders and rule over the entire Cultivation Continent, he will himself come to our clan."
