Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1764: Chapter 1764: The Surprise Came Too Suddenly

”Master, I wonder what will happen if she doesn’t have the ability?” Thinking of this, the follower priest changed his words.

”If I don’t have the ability, I will naturally hand over the position of Main Priest.” Han Yan said with a solemn expression.

From the beginning, she had guessed that Ling Baobao harbored ill intentions, and it turned out to be true. Array materials? Han Yan thought for a moment and didn’t stop Ling Baobao, as Huayu Temple was too poor, collecting some array materials was beneficial.

Yes, collecting! After seeing Wen Gaoren’s array formation technique, Han Yan had an epiphany, and the various doubts in her mind finally had answers.

Her array formation technique on the Holy Court Continent was already good, even the array masters at Long Yan Academy regarded her as an equal, not daring to treat her as a junior. Her experience in deducing the secrets of formation from Star Falling in Eight Desolates made deducing the Array Formation from Eight Desolate God Fall not difficult; however, these deduced principles were too mysterious, and she lacked basic array setup experience on Divine Continent, rendering her unable to utilize them freely.

But after seeing Wen Gaoren’s hand gestures for arrays now, with mutual verification, everything naturally fell into place.

Moreover, her Divine Sense was much stronger than Wen Gaoren’s, fixing this array was not difficult for her.

”Think it over, Master Priest!” Hearing Han Yan’s words, An Xiaxin and others were taken aback.

Even if Han Yan couldn’t repair the Star Thunder Array, Wen Gaoren hadn’t managed it either. Handing over the position of Main Priest seemed like too big a loss.

”No need to worry.” Han Yan waved her hand, speaking calmly and confidently.

An Xiaxin was about to persuade further, but suddenly saw Sikong Qinglan giving a meaningful glance.

Could it be that Han Yan really had the ability? An Xiaxin, having been away for so long, didn’t know what Han Yan was up to, but she knew Sikong Qinglan wasn’t one to act recklessly, so the glance must hold deep meaning.

An Xiaxin’s mind suddenly recalled the scene where Han Yan bullied Long Wudang—those small flames, that earth-shattering fireball, and Long Wudang’s terrified, helpless expression. Her heart slightly moved; maybe, Wen Gaoren, like Long Wudang, was being played by Han Yan.

Thinking this, An Xiaxin refrained from speaking further.

”Alright, alright, as you say then.” Wen Gaoren, having been struck silly by lightning, knew well the difference between gaining and losing, and agreed without hesitation.

Fearing Han Yan’s regret, Wen Gaoren took out a fist-sized Jade Tripod from his bosom, shook it lightly, and various Meteorite Gold Stones appeared, piled like a small hill.

This old man is indeed wealthy. Han Yan smiled slightly and entered the Star Thunder Array, slowly performing hand gestures.

”Hmm...” Wen Gaoren’s follower priests whispered in surprise, as Han Yan used the same hand gestures their master had just performed, wondering where she learned them from.

An Xiaxin and others showed puzzled expressions. They didn’t know that although Han Yan comprehended the Star Thunder God Array, she lacked experience and was most familiar with Wen Gaoren’s Hand Formation, conveniently borrowing it.

Watching Han Yan’s hand gestures in confusion, slowly, Wen Gaoren and his followers recognized something, showing disdain.

”It’s one thing to rely on panic support, but to learn my master’s array formation technique unscrupulously and still boast about it is a joke.” A follower priest disdainfully said.

It’s not surprising he showed contempt; Han Yan’s hand gestures were clumsy and awkward, clearly a beginner, suggesting she had learned them from Wen Gaoren’s array hand gestures just moments ago.

”Indeed, the Master Priest of Huayu Temple, learned his techniques just by watching a few times—what extraordinary natural talent, truly admirable.” Another companion ridiculed in agreement.

The others joined in the cold ridicule and laughter.

”Just borrowing scraps; if this can repair the Star Thunder Array, I’ll eat all these Meteorite Gold Stones.” Wen Gaoren, previously humiliated, now had a chance to retort, speaking coldly.

An Xiaxin and others felt embarrassed, their faces slightly flushed. Earlier, seeing Han Yan’s confidence, they imagined her array formation was incredibly exquisite, yet she had learned Wen Gaoren’s hand gestures and was awkward with them.

What is the Master Priest thinking? Could it be pressure that’s making her want to throw this hot potato of Huayu Temple away early? But that doesn’t seem right; based on recent interactions, she didn’t seem the type.

While they wondered in puzzlement, Wen Gaoren’s expression suddenly changed.

Indeed, Han Yan’s hand gestures started awkwardly; being learned hurriedly, it was inevitable. But later, the speed increased, becoming more adept. Hand gestures rapidly formed, leaving an afterimage around her, a mysterious yet wonderfully rhythmic and elegant beauty.

Though Han Yan stood before them, they all felt the illusion that she had completely merged into the array.

Even if they weren’t familiar with array formation techniques, it was clear that although Han Yan learned Wen Gaoren’s hand gestures, her variations were more complex and mysterious, coupled with extraordinary rhythm and elegance, far beyond Wen Gaoren’s comparison.

”Boom!” Thunder roared, countless blue electric lights spread across the array.

Initially resembling what Wen Gaoren did earlier, but soon everyone noticed the blue electric lights seemed to gain spirit, following different array patterns, intercrossing to form gleaming blue runes, which together mirrored the Beidou Seven Stars.

”Seven stars converge, Divine Thunder Technique, formation complete!” Han Yan performed the final hand gesture and announced.

Having learned the hand gestures from Wen Gaoren, she simply borrowed his mnemonic as well, saving mental effort.

The blue runes flashed simultaneously, as if slapped by an invisible giant hand, blending into the array.

Everyone felt light, while the unique aura of the Array Barrier permeated the hall, imposing solemnity.

Looking through the window, a nearly transparent light projection slowly appeared, like a vast light shield, covering Huayu City’s last two patches of farmland. The rice fields, once swaying in defiance against the harsh wind with vitality, calmed and thrived.

Successful, Han Yan was indeed successful! She really repaired the Star Thunder God Array!

An Xiaxin, Sikong Qinglan, and others looked at Han Yan with surprise, tears in their eyes, momentarily forgetting to cheer.
