Dealing with the enemies was just a matter of convenience. Chen Xiao quickly put the matter aside and devoted himself wholeheartedly to planning the Feng Shui formation.
This Feng Shui formation must cover the entire Taizhen Realm, and every location must be at the intersection of the earth veins. If there is any mistake, the entire formation will experience a chain collapse.
To be on the safe side, the master and his three disciples traveled for more than ten months just to explore these key locations.
Some of the key nodes of these magic arrays are in deep mountains, some are on plateaus, and some are even in lakes and oceans.
Fortunately, Chen Xiao is now a cultivator, otherwise setting up nodes in lakes and oceans would be beyond human power.
Because there were only four of them who were serious Feng Shui masters working outside, and Chen Xiao was seriously short of manpower, he asked the Chongxuan Sect to assign Wu Xiujiang over in the name of a meritorious mission.
This was the first time Chen Xiao met Wu Xiujiang. People say that nephews look like their uncles, and it was obvious at first glance that the two were relatives.
Like Chen Xiao, Wu Xiujiang also had almond-shaped eyes and deep, bow-shaped lips. But compared to his uncle, Wu Xiujiang's chin was a bit square, not as sharp as Chen Xiao's.
This made him less handsome and more heroic.
Wu Xiujiang has average talent and has only recently built his foundation. He looks less than 30 years old and is actually older than Chen Xiao.
Actually, despite his average talent, he was able to successfully establish his foundation before the age of thirty, all thanks to his study of Feng Shui.
Wu Xiujiang has a special liking for Feng Shui and admires his uncle very much. He even used the compass left by Chen Xiao to refine it into his own magical weapon.
This compass was originally used to replace the innate spiritual roots to convert energy for storage. Now Wu Xiujiang has an extra dantian.
His true essence was mixed with this energy, and the two powers helped him build his foundation successfully ten years ahead of schedule. When Chen Xiao learned about this, he praised him highly, saying that he had opened up a new field of Feng Shui cultivation.
Wu Xiujiang was like a little fanboy in front of Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao was willing to teach him. Under Chen Xiao's words and deeds, Wu Xiujiang made rapid progress and played a significant role in the search for nodes, sharing the pressure for Chen Xiao and his four disciples.
After being away for more than ten months, they rushed back to Tangyan Street. Chen Xiao gave a shout to disperse, and the four of them staggered back to their rooms to sleep.
Chen Xiao couldn't rest yet, so he went to the study to organize some documents.
When it was getting dark, Du Rong came to report and told him that Shi Fengdu came to visit.
"Why are you here, Brother Shi?" Chen Xiao rubbed his eyes tiredly and said to Shi Fengdu.
Shi Fengdu looked at him apologetically and said, "I know you are very tired now, and it is inappropriate for me to come and disturb you at this time."
Chen Xiao laughed and said, "Brother Shi, what are you talking about? What kind of relationship do we have? I don't know you yet. You definitely wouldn't come here at this time if there was nothing wrong. Tell me, what do you want to see me about?"
Shi Fengdu raised his lips slightly, then quickly lowered them. He leaned forward and asked, "The Grandmaster asked me to ask you, brother, when will this Feng Shui formation be completed?"
Chen Xiao looked at him in surprise and said, "Master Bai should know that this formation will not be completed without three to five years. Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"
Shi Fengdu lowered his shoulders, sighed, and said, "It's because of the Tulu Tower. It's on the edge, and the landslide is spreading very quickly, and it's about to endanger the Tulu Tower. Three to five years... I'm afraid it won't last until then."
Chen Xiao frowned and said, "There is only one Atlas Tower in Taizhen Heaven Realm. If it is gone, the cultivators in Taizhen will have to go to other Heaven Realms if they want to enter and exit the Shenzhou Atlas in the future."
Shi Fengdu smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. Fortunately, Shenzhou Atlas is not a must-go place. Otherwise, many people might move to other places for convenience."
Chen Xiao pondered and said, "Even if this is the case, the Atlas Tower is also very important and should be preserved."
Shi Fengdu looked at him sideways and said with some hope: "Brother, can the Tulu Tower be saved?"
Chen Xiao said: "If we want to save the Atlas Tower, we can only try to slow down the weakening of the barrier and increase its thickness so that it can last a little longer."
Shi Fengdu said: "I remember my brother once said that the thickness of this barrier will slowly increase under the effect of the Feng Shui formation after Tai Zhen returns to its original position."
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, the magic array I designed is not a one-time magic array. If we use the star power to pull Tai Zhen back to its original position, the Feng Shui array will be useless and too wasteful. So I specially designed the Twenty-Four Pillars Chenxing Feng Shui Array to strengthen Tai Zhen itself, making it more stable and preventing accidents from deviating from the track. This Feng Shui array can strengthen the barrier of the heavenly realm year by year. The thicker the barrier, the lower the chance of spiritual energy escaping into the void. After a hundred or eighty years, the spiritual energy of Tai Zhen will become more and more."
Shi Fengdu didn't expect to have such an unexpected surprise, and his expression became much better. He said, "If this is true, there will be more blessed places and caves in Taizhen."
"Yeah." Chen Xiao responded, and he touched his chin, "Well, let me think of a solution first."
This unexpected turn of events made Shi Fengdu feel surprised and incredulous, "Brother?!"
Chen Xiao said calmly: "There are twelve nodes on the periphery of the twenty-four pillars of the Star Array. If we arrange these twelve nodes first, we can slightly enhance the strength of the barrier. Although the thickness is not high, it is enough to delay the collapse of the mountain range where the Atlas Tower is located."
Shi Fengdu stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Xiao: "My dear brother, on behalf of the thousands of cultivators in Taizhen, thank you very much!"
Chen Xiao hurriedly helped him up. "Don't thank me yet. How quickly we can lay out the twelve pillar nodes on the periphery depends on how many weapon refiners the Island Master's Mansion can invite."
Shi Fengdu looked up in surprise and asked, "Why do we need a weapon refiner?"
Chen Xiao said, "I originally wanted to cast the twenty-four Feng Shui pillars of this Feng Shui formation myself. It would take quite a while to cast just these twenty-four pillars, so I said it would take three to five years. Now the plan has changed, and the twelve nodes must be arranged in advance. I don't have enough time to cast them myself, so I can only ask the refiner to help make semi-finished products, and then I will complete the second half of the refining." After a pause, he continued, "However, such Feng Shui pillars will not last too long, and will break in a few decades at most."
Shi Fengdu smiled: "That's enough, that's enough! I'll go find a weapon refiner right now!" After saying that, without waiting for Chen Xiao to reply, he turned around and left quickly.
It was already completely dark. Chen Xiao had the dinner that Du Rong personally brought to him and buried his head in his work.
He could have taken a break, but because of the Atlas Tower issue, he had to work overtime to design the feng shui pillars at the twelve outer nodes.
The size of the Feng Shui columns is the same, but because of the different locations, the appearance of the columns and the materials used are different. Placing Feng Shui columns at the nodes can be shared by disciples, but designing these columns is not possible.
Chen Xiao felt sleepy. He was already very tired after traveling today, and he had been doing brain-intensive work for such a long time. Even though he was in good health, he couldn't hold on any longer.
He was planning to lie down on the table and close his eyes, but he ended up falling asleep.
Not sure how long it had been before Chen Xiao felt a touch on his cheek. The gentle movement was as gentle as a butterfly touching a flower pistil.
Chen Xiao curled the corners of his lips, sighed and opened his eyes hazily. Xi Yunting was standing beside him, bending over, and leaned over to kiss his lips gently.
"If you want to sleep, go back to your room." Xi Yunting said in Chen Xiao's ear.
The feeling of being hugged and kissed by him was so wonderful and comfortable. Chen Xiao was lazy and hummed coquettishly, "I don't want to move."
Xi Yunting chuckled and hugged him in his arms. Chen Xiao simply closed his eyes, put his arm around his shoulders trustingly, and let him carry him back to the bedroom.
Chen Xiao had no memory of what happened afterwards, and when he opened his eyes, it was already the next morning.
After a good sleep, Chen Xiao felt refreshed.
After washing and eating, he walked around inside and outside and didn't see Xi Yunting, so he went back to the small garden in the southwest corner.
This garden has become a forbidden area for the entire Dongyu Sect in the past year. When it comes to it, everyone in the sect, from the chief steward to the servants who sweep the floor, is very secretive.
The garden has no walls and has the same open layout style as the entire mansion. There is a rockery in the garden and a small pavilion on the hill.
From a distance, you can see a person sitting in the pavilion. Whenever people see a figure there, they know they cannot get close.
When Xi Yunting doesn't want to stay in the quiet room, he will come here.
He had chosen this pavilion specifically to prevent anyone from accidentally getting around him and getting hurt by the aura of misfortune.
Chen Xiao always believed that this was the tenderness that belonged only to Xi Yunting.
Before he got close, Chen Xiao saw Xi Yunting, and Xi Yunting also noticed him.
He took two or three steps up the stairs and climbed up to the pavilion. Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I was so sleepy yesterday that I fell asleep right away."
He walked in and sat directly next to Xi Yunting. Xi Yunting raised his hand and gently stroked his face with concern: "You have lost weight, is it because you don't eat well?"
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "The food was okay, but the schedule was too tight."
Xi Yunting sighed and said, "It took ten months to determine the locations of the twenty-four nodes. You have to go to two or three places a month and select the nodes. You work so hard, but I can't accompany you."
Chen Xiao followed Xi Yunting's arm and leaned against his chest, breathing comfortably. He said, "It's important for you to condense your sword body as soon as possible. How can you run around with me?" He raised his head. Xi Yunting was afraid that he would fall backwards, so he raised his arm and supported him with his palm. "How is your heart sword condensation going? Any progress?"
Xi Yunting raised his other hand and after a moment's thought, Chen Xiao felt that the surrounding aura fluctuations suddenly changed. A gloomy, obscure, long strip of invisible energy appeared in front of the two of them.
If Chen Xiao had not been able to observe the fluctuations in the aura, he would not have been able to see this invisible ball of disaster energy at all.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but straighten up and look at the disaster curiously.
It seemed very unhappy, twisting violently in Xi Yunting's hands, sometimes pulled into long strips, sometimes rolled into a donut, and occasionally showing its teeth and claws to act like a starfish.
Xi Yunting looked at the disaster and said calmly, "This is the best I can do at the moment."
Chen Xiao felt that this was already amazing. You know, this was a disaster that represented misfortune and catastrophe. It was an invisible and intangible existence. It took Xi Yunting less than a year to gather it into such a group!
Chen Xiao praised Xi Yunting enthusiastically, and Xi Yunting couldn't maintain his cold expression and pursed his lips in embarrassment.
Chen Xiao looked at the disaster eagerly, turned his head and asked Xi Yunting, "Can I touch it?"
Xi Yunting frowned and said hesitantly: "Although you are not affected by it, I am not sure if it will be dangerous for you to touch it."
Chen Xiao said firmly: "It's okay, I will be careful, and if there is anything wrong, I will get out of the way immediately."
Xi Yunting tried harder to suppress the disaster, and bound it into a discus. "You try it."
Chen Xiao carefully stretched out a finger and poked the invisible energy.
Obviously, the discus began to tremble as if it was ticklish.
