Shen Yu was levitating in the air as he designed his sect. He wasn't going to make it too grand, at least not yet. He would do that when he had more disciples. For now, a simple sect would be enough.
However, that simple wasn't so simple.
He clicked his fingers as a semi-transparent dome appeared around the hill he had created. That was a Rank 10 Seven Lotus Guardian Formation. It was of the highest rank so that it could take on attacks from even Ascension Realm practitioners.
With this Formation, his sect was indestructible. Nothing could penetrate its defense. He made it so that it remained safe even if he wasn't there in the sect.
However, thinking of his best friend who had killed him, he decided to add some more precautions. After all, he was powerful himself, and if he became the sect Master of that sect, there was a high chance he could breach the defenses.
Clicking his fingers, he added a Rank 10 Hundred Mirage Illusory Formation to the surroundings. It was a high-rank formation that could mislead the senses of even Ascension Realm practitioners.
Shen Yu felt this should be enough, so he dismissed the formations after making some minor changes based on the knowledge he had gotten from the system.
They were activated and would function but would not be visible to anyone. Now, nobody could enter his sect unless he wanted them to.
Mentally giving himself a pat on his back, Shen Yu entered his soon-to-be sect. However, he didn't notice the subtle glow in the formations he had set because he had left.
Because of the minor changes he had made in the Formation, it had become something so grand that he would have never expected.
Not only that, even the dragon made entirely of Qi snorted arrogantly after Shen Yu left.
This all happened because of minor misunderstandings. Since Shen Yu wanted to enjoy his life while not worrying about his whole strength, he had asked the system to give him Cultivation, which would allow him to be invincible in the world. Not only that, but he also had proficiencies and knowledge about many things, like Formations and alchemy.
However, he forgot that he had transmigrated into a Xianxia World where higher realms were way too common. So when he asked the system to give him Cultivation of the top, the system assumed the world as the whole world, including all the higher and lower realms.
The same thing happened with the knowledge part. Shen Yu now had the knowledge and proficiencies of nearly everything existing.
He was standing at the top of the world, but he had a slight misunderstanding about himself.
On the other hand, Shen Yu was utterly oblivious to the changes he had made. He was inspecting the land and thinking about what to place where.
"First, the sect master's abode will be a huge classic building with seven floors," Shen Yu thought as he made a Seven-Floor Pagoda.
It stood highest in the sect, giving the impression that it was the most important building, which it was.
Satisfied, Shen Yu began to work on other things, such as the Alchemy Pavilion, Refining Pavilion, and many more. He also made luxurious quarters for the disciples.
The quarters had a Qi Gathering Formation and many other things that would help the disciples increase their Cultivation. He then proceeded to the Training Grounds and Library.
While Shen Yu was designing and making his sect, a little distance away from the hill his sect was on, a figure clad in black clothes was dragging herself through the dense forest.
Wherever she passed, blood dripped, leaving a deep red trail behind. But she wasn't in a condition to care about that since she was heavily injured.
She clutched her side where a deep gash could be seen where even the internal organs were visible. She dragged herself and coughed up blood, which made her already pale face even paler.
"No! I can't die yet, not like this," She gritted her teeth and forced herself to continue forward. She was basically limping at this point, but she was determined to move forward. Because she knew stopping here meant death, death she didn't want, not yet.
She heard some rustling behind her and tensed up. They were catching up to her, and if things remained as they were, she would get caught and have a fate worse than death.
She gritted her teeth and tried to walk, but the pain was too much. Her mind was getting fuzzy, and her vision was blurry. She should have already lost consciousness, but her sheer will forced her to be awake.
"I swear if I survive, you all will beg me to kill you," She swore. She had ended up in this situation because she trusted them and they had betrayed her trust. She wouldn't let them off, Never.
But she needed to survive to take her revenge, and she was trying her best. The light of hope was dying out, and then she sensed something in front of her.
It was a High Rank Formation.
Her eyes lit up. She didn't know what type of Formation it was, but she knew it was there. Her perception had been very high since childhood, so she could sense a powerful formation in front of her.
Entering this unknown Formation could mean death to her, but wasn't she already dying? But she knew one thing: her pursuers wouldn't notice the Formation, and she was sure of that. That would mean that even if she died, she would take them with her in death.
"Although it's a pity that I can't take you guys with me, it's fine. After all, you will lose some of your best," A mad grin appeared on her face.
Now, she didn't care what happened to her. All she could think of was revenge. So, making the decision, she walked forward, entering the terrifying Formation.
Shen Yu who was marveling at his creation suddenly sensed Someone entering his Formation. He raised an eyebrow, "Someone already came? Good thing I already made the Formation."
