ATG: Formation Master c18

As a massive version of Dharma Body stood up, Cang Long was inside a diamond-shaped orb in the forehead of the Construct.

The blue warrior moved its hand, and above them, the sky turned blue as a formation began to descend. With a heavy thud, symbol-shaped pillars were dropped into the ground in the area's four corners.

The formation kicked in, and profound energy began to rush into Cang Long’s Dharma Body.

The construct began to improve as the armour became more visible. Golden dragon ornaments manifested on the pieces of armour, and they became sharper and more ‘real’.

As the Dharma Body became closer to completion, the Ice beast moved in, but it was slow. Cang Long quickly noticed that it could barely move; all it had to offer was its size.

It was clear that this thing only cared about absorbing Profound Energy from the Water Seed in its body, not refining it, as ice is not that easy to just add to the body without understanding the mechanics behind it.

The Prince sighed as his Construct moved, delivering a heavy punch to the mountain-size monkey’s face. He went right for the nose.

The punch caused the beast to take a step back as Dharma Body’s leg moved in, kicking the leg, causing the massive beast to lose balance.

And fall to the ground.

The place that used to be a lake ceased to exist as all of the water blasted in all directions. Not that Cang Long waited as he continued with his assault.

He jumped on the Monkey and began to deliver devastating punches to the beast’s face.

Each strike would send shockwaves for miles in all directions, it would unroot trees and shatter mountains.

Before long, all there was in the area was a wasteland. But the damage to the beast's face was insignificant. A broken nose, shattered fangs, and some bloody cuts on its face.

The beast pushed Cang Long away. As it tried to stand up, it was way, way too slow. The Prince could run circles around it, but it had seriously thick fur and layers upon layers of Profound Energy.

He had a hard time not seeing this creature as a pig that kept stuffing itself with the limitless amount of food it had access to.

“Since you are that robust, let’s test some things on you.” 

 Once more, Cang Long’s construct raised its hand, and the sky turned blue from all the clouds that manifested from thin air.

Formation circles began to dot the sky as they all pointed at the creature.

~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~

Chu Yueli, alongside Gong Yuxian, looked at the scene in the distance, their eyes could not believe what they were looking at.

A Tyrant Profound Beast was inside this Secret Realm!?

They never heard about this! Countless generations of fairies would come here, but they never heard about such a powerful beast living here.

Yet, it was not it that shocked them! It was Cang Long and his crazy Dharma Body technique. 

It can transform into a mountain-sized form and fight against a Tyrant Beast as an equal, if not beat it!

Because constant attacks generated powerful explosions and shockwaves, they needed to hide a large distance away.

But the distance doesn’t mean anything, as the clouds in the sky turned glowing blue, and circular formations manifested, turning into weapons and beginning to rain down from the sky.

The impact of each and every single weapon ramming into the flesh of the Tyrant Profound Beast caused the earth to shake and caused sonic booms.

“Heavens… is he truly a Sky Profound? This is madness!” Gong Yuxian was baffled and terrified at what she was seeing.

“Yes, he is. It’s that this is the power of the Dharma Body. It’s what it's capable… it allows him to fight equally if not win—”

**THUD**

**BOOM**

The ice gorilla collapsed on the ground, causing the biggest earthquake so far.

The pair of fairies adjusted as they rose into the air to dodge the earth shaking.

“If not, win the whole thing.” As Chu Yueli said, the blue giant turned into a pyre of blue flames. It rapidly began to shrink.

“Come, Li’er, we need to congratulate him for this victory.” Gong Yuxian motioned for her to follow.

The fairy nodded as she followed after the Palace Mistress.

The younger sibling of Chu Yuechan was finally able to see the true power of the Dharma Body… it’s… far greater than she had envisioned. 

To fight on an equal footing with a Profound beast of the size of a large mountain… It's something else!

As the pair flew over, they saw Cang Long sitting on a boulder cross-legged, cultivating. It was surrounded by a blue aura, absorbing energy at a rapid pace.

“Hmm?” He opened his eyes as he saw fairies land not far from him.

“You two.” He was a bit surprised to see them.

“Your Highness, we are to congratulate you on your victory against the Tyrant Profound Beast.” Gong Yuxian respectfully cupped her fist.

She was followed by Chu Yueli, who did the same.

“It was not that hard. The beast stuffed itself with profound energy without refining it properly. I was running circles around it.” He explained to them.

The fairies looked at the pincushion of a corpse. It was radiating Ice-Profound energy. The pair gulped down. A Tyrant, Profound Ice Beast! The core of such a beast…

It makes them salivate just from thinking about what they could do with such a core.

“I see… so it was hypernating while cultivating.” The Mistress realised that it was absorbing some sort of energy to be able to cultivate it like that.

“Indeed.” Cang Long didn’t expand on it.

The pair stayed silent for a while until Chu Yueli was fiddling nonstop.

“What is it?” He asked. There was a small smile on his lips as he found her squirming amusingly.

“I-I was thinking what sister was saying.” 

“And that is?” He asked curiously, opening his eyes and looking at her.

That moment, space opened underneath the corpse of the beast, and chains rushed through the whole corpse, coiled around it and began to pull the beast into his Mindscape.

“...Didn’t she talk to you about… y-y-your harem?” She struggled not to just run away, but instead to talk about it.

“She did. Though I am not actively looking for one per se, I do find you interesting enough to consider it.” 

Chu Yueli sighed in relief. He wasn’t against it!

“However, I thought that you needed to leave Frozen Cloud to even consider anything like that.” He commented as he looked at the Palace Mistress; he needed an explanation in that regard.

“Yes. But, there are exemptions. For example, His Highness could be our Guest Elder.

An extremely flexible position, becoming a member but not fully

You would have all the benefits; your only responsibility would be to help us when our Palace was under threat.” Gong Yuxian explained to him what he would need to do.

“These benefits you speak of? What are they?” He genuinely asked because he doesn’t see them.

“Study our Frozen Cloud Arts, Frozen Heart Arts, Frozen Cloud Thirteen Sword Styles and lastly Frozen End Divine Arts.” She explained what he could learn.

“Apart from our arts, you could access our resources, get our ice-type herbs, plants and minerals, as well as all the pills we have will be available to you.” The Palace Mistress sounded like a merchant who wants to sell her goods.

“Hmm, I see that does sound decent.” He stroked his chin. What Cang Long is thinking is to add Ice Profound Arts to his Profound Palace.

“However, what I am thinking is to integrate Frozen Cloud closer to my Profound Palace.”

“...what do you mean by that?” Gong Yuxian got a bit worried there.

“Women who want to practise Ice arts will be given to Frozen Cloud; however, they will respond to my call when I require military service.”

The Mistress sighed in relief. She was a bit worried that he would absorb her Frozen Cloud.

“As well, I will create alternative Ice Arts with… no harmful effects.” He grimaced a bit while saying that.

“...You can do that?” 

“Indeed. Profound Arts and Formation are almost exactly the same, only with a few key differences.” He explained to them. 

That got them very interested. If he can do that, he could potentially know how to improve the art and remove the negatives!

“T-Then you could remove the negatives?” Gong Yuxian asked, hopefully.

“Technically, yes.” He stroked his chin. Theoretically, it’s very simple: They need to change from ice to water. As there is no ice law, ice is a form of water. They need to embrace what water is, and all of their issues will be fixed on their own.

“But like I said. I would only help if I got anything decent enough. I already have my Profound Palace that I improve in my free time.” He explained to them that he is not that excited to simply join them.

The Prince is telling them that he is not like other simps. He won’t fold by the fact that he could get close to two thousand beautiful women. Women are something he already has.

He just acquired a beautiful woman whose personality he can alter at will. That gives him chances to play some serious role-playing, but it's not even role-playing since she is not pretending.

“H-How about me? With me next to you, you would have both sisters. Didn’t you want that before?” Chu Yueli tried to play down how embarrassed she was.

“Hmm…” He looked at her, his gaze was intense, on purpose, making her fiddle with her robes even more.

“That depends on what I can expect.” When he took Chu Yuechan with him, it was on a whim. Only later did he realise that he had skipped the thinking part and just gone with the flow. What he got was a proud woman who sometimes doesn’t hold her tongue and can be more blunt than a blunt weapon.

Oh, and he noticed some anger issues.

Regardless, he likes her a lot, but if he has an array of these girls… well, he will go insane.

“...Umm… I don’t understand…” She doesn’t understand what he is asking.

“It’s simple. What can I expect from Chu Yueli joining my harem? Or more like, what can I expect from ‘creating’ a harem with your sister?”

“Well…” She looked to the side, then to the ground, before looking at him.

“Whatever you require of me? I-I am not versed in these things, my apologies.” The fairy bowed, her response made him realise that the Fairy is quite a blank slate, unlike Chu Yuechan, who had her high pride regardless of Frozen Heart Art.

“Hmm, I suppose. I can accept that.” He slowly nodded before floating down the boulder. By this point, the corpse of the Beast had already been pulled in, and he began to collect the Formation pillars for the Box Formation.

Truthfully, he was severely weakened now that he had used his arsenal of Formations. His Mindcape is practically empty, and his Profound Energy reserves are at an all-time low.

He recovered enough to defend himself, but that is it.

“Then!” The pair looked excited.

“We will have a test run. You will stay as my attendant for a while, and you will show me that you are the right choice for me,” Cang Long explained to her.

Chu Yueli didn’t expect another hoop she needed to pass. This prince is very different from all those horny men she has seen in the public places she has been.

It makes her… a bit intrigued, and even excited; she wants to know more.

The girl didn’t realise that he was utilising the same tactics that females usually use on me. Hard to get! It makes her, in turn, interested in him even more!

“I understand! I won’t disappoint you.” She slowly nodded, her tone very serious with a hint of excitement.
