Chapter 159 Comprehension
"Eight trigram slaughter formation", Zhan Chen recognised the formation technique immediately. He was somewhat familiar with this formation as it could be considered as one of the most complex formation, he had come across in his life.
Zhan Chen had a solid grasp on this technique. So, he looked no further and pushed his soul consciousness towards the painting where he found the Eight trigram slaughter formation technique.
After sinking his soul consciousness into the painting, Zhan Chen found the painting moving. Silhouette of a blurry figure became clear in the painting and the blurry figure started to talk about the Eight trigram slaughter formation technique.
"Heaven\'s way is obscure. Earth\'s power comes from its vastness. What could be seen is earth and what is present yet invisible is heaven. Comprehend the heaven and earth and draw the line of eight trigram. Connect the sky with earth, draw upon the power of heavenly wind and thunder. With the great mountain as the foundation take the sea as the base. Water and fire become one and the divine formation known as eight trigram".
Zhan Chen\'s mind became entranced as he heard the blurry figure describe the Eight trigram slaughter formation technique. He didn\'t resist when the teleportation formation activated.
Zhan Chen didn\'t mind the new place as he thought upon the words of the blurry figure. As a cultivator himself, he was aware that, he couldn\'t afford to keep distracted at this moment.
The words of the blurry figure echoed inside his mind and Zhan Chen gradually became submerged in the words about the Eight trigram slaughter formation.
Zhan Chen didn\'t know when he forgot about his surrounding as the only thought inside his mind was the words of the blurry figure. Time went past yet Zhan Chen sat in his place like a stone statue.

"To think a mere eighteen year old brat can enter the state of thoughtlessness! How enviable. Moreover, I can\'t look through his cultivation level", an indistinct mumer was heard in the place where Zhan Chen was meditating.
The comprehension of all the other cultivators were over after they spent the time of seven to eight hours. Cultivators who were teleported to receive the inheritance started to appear one after another.
Li Shu and Li Yan were the first to reappear in the ground floor of ancestoral palace. Other talented cultivators who had found resonance with the inheritance started to reappear one after another.
When Shen Ruyan came out, the ground floor was bursting with noise.
"Young miss", the Shen clan experts called out excitedly after seeing Shen Ruyan reappearing in the ground floor.
Shen Ruyan nodded at the Shen clan experts and turned her head to look around. All of their companions were present except Liu Nanxi, Su\'er and Ling\'er.
"Where are these two mischievous girls?", Shen Ruyan thought to herself.
It was a long day and too many incidents had happened. Shen Ruyan felt tired by now and she was missing both of the bubbly girls by her side.
"Look, elder Liu Nanxi has appeared", one of the Shen clan warrior pointed towards the distance. Shen Ruyan turned her head and found Liu Nanxi in a distance.
She was still adjusting her bearing after the teleportation. It took only some moments for Liu Nanxi to return back to her cold self.
"Aunt, welcome back. Congratulation for receiving an ancient inheritance", Shen Ruyan greeted Liu Nanxi.
"Same goes for young miss. You have also managed to find a suitable inheritance for yourself. Patriarch will be proud if he learns about it", Liu Nanxi replied while scanning the other cultivators present in the ground floor.
An absent minded look appeared in her cold face as she scanned the entire crowd. "Where is he?", she subconsciously murmured after not seeing Zhan Chen among the crowd of cultivators.
"Wait, Zhan Chen! I am thinking I am missing something important and now I know what I am missing. It is Zhan Chen!", Shen Ruyan face palmed herself.
"Where is that shameless fellow? He has vanished along with both Su\'er and Ling\'er", Shen Ruyan thought to herself. Liu Nanxi noticed Shen Ruyan \'s gaze on her after coming out of her momentary absent minded condition. She blushed lightly after seeing Shen Ruyan looking at her.
"To think aunt would blush. How rare! That shameless fellow really has his tricks", Shen Ruyan thought to herself with a smile. She looked away with a smile on her face so as to not cause any awakeardness for Liu Nanxi.
It was already past mid night by the time the last cultivator reappeared in the ground floor. The Shen clan group waited patiently as time started to flew past hour after hour.
The golden rays of sun shined upon the ancestoral palace of Cleansing Incense ancient sect and along with arrival of new day, a irresistible force fell upon the cultivators.
Before anyone knew what was happening, all the cultivators were already out of the ancestoral palace.
"What happened?", Kai Min rubbed her eyes and looked towards Li Shu and Li Yan. She was just dozing off after waiting for so long but yet something unexpected happened and she was already out of the ancestoral palace of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect.
Kai Min looked towards Li Shu and Li Yan for answer but none of them had answer for her. Both of them wore same expression on their faces like her and it was same for the warriors of the Shen clan.
The sudden expulsion came as a surprise to everyone present inside the ground floor of ancestoral palace.
"Looks like the ancestoral palace of this ancient sect has completed its objective. So, it forcefully expelled the cultivators out of its premise", Liu Nanxi analyzed calmly.
"Probably. But it is really shocking to find out that such a sect existed just four hundred years back. Just from the teleportation formations alone, one could imagine how shocking the true power of such an ancient sect", Shen Ruyan commented.
"Young miss, young master Chen and both of your maids still has not come out. What should we do now?", a warrior of Shen clan asked.
"We wait", Shen Ruyan replied calmly.
