Chapter 354: Difficulty in Building a Formation
Ji Hongdao seemed not to notice the other party disappearing, and continued to talk to himself: "What the young master should worry about is nothing more than being trapped in the Tianxuan Soul Locking Formation and being unable to move freely."
“As for safety, there is no need to worry.”
"Just as the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has been promoting, the Hedao cultivators are beyond the capabilities of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array."
"With your strength, young master, you shouldn't be afraid of a mere formation, right?"
"If you can exchange a little freedom for enough benefits, I believe you will be happy to do so."
"What exactly exists beneath the abyss and beyond the fog? Aren't you really curious?"
After Ji Hongdao finished his words, the young master's twisted figure reappeared on the Duchen Boat.
Without saying anything, he just looked at Ji Hongdao coldly, waiting for his next words.
Ji Hongdao was not surprised by his return: "After the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array is fully constructed, the Tianxuan Mirror will also be sublimated again."
"By then, there may be a great chance that the unfinished business from two hundred years ago can be accomplished."
"Besides, if the sublimated Tianxuan Mirror wants to go further, apart from occupying the territory of the Five Elders Association, it can only explore outside the boundary."
"As a breakthrough point, it will naturally not give up easily."
"As long as it spares the energy, the Yuan-devouring White Mist will definitely not be able to stop it. It's just a matter of how much time it takes."
"What you need to do is wait patiently."
"So many years have passed, why do you still care about this moment?"
Shaojun didn't seem to be bewitched by Ji Hongdao, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Ji Hongdao, you really haven't changed at all."
Without waiting for the other party to respond, his figure disappeared again.
Ji Hongdao slowly turned his head and looked at the busy cultivators in the immortal fortress in the distance again, with a faint smile on his face.
…
The next day, Li Fan's hard work in the Chizha Abyss officially began.
In addition to Xue Mu, there were five other formation masters responsible for collaborating in the construction of the Tianxuan Locking Soul Array, including five cultivators from the Tianyuzhou Strategy Formation Hall.
Unlike in ordinary states, one only needs to consider the construction of the formation without worrying about safety issues.
Building a soul-locking array outside this abyss is extremely difficult and requires the joint efforts of many departments.
First, the garrison stationed at the Eternal Immortal Fortress, named Qingxuan, with layers of protection, struggled to open up a blank passage in the white fog where they could set up their formation.
Then, the monks from Tianji Hall came forward and selected a suitable location in the passage.
The monks from the Martial Arts Hall cooperated with the Qingxuan defenders and quickly built dozens of footholds before Baiwu recaptured the lost territory.
These resting places are where Li Fan and his team rest after setting up the formation each time.
In order to improve the construction efficiency, under the suggestion of Dou Xingsi, an experienced formation master, the Soul Locking Formation covering the Chizha Abyss adopted the method of multi-point blooming and simultaneous construction.
Seven formation masters each started from one direction and expanded outwards, and finally the outer formation was closed.
Then construct the central core formation inwards.
Finally, when everything is complete, place the core array hub and do the final debugging.
There was nothing wrong with the plan, but the actual construction was extremely difficult.
Even a tough guy like Li Fan was almost exhausted by the process of building the formation.
For example, if you want to arrange formation nodes in the white fog, you must first expel the Yuan-devouring white fog.
The vacuum zone created by the Qingxuan Army cannot last long.
Before the white fog returns, Li Fan must race against time to complete the manufacture of a small formation node so that it can be connected to other formation structures later.
If a mistake or accident resulted in only half the product being completed within the specified time, Li Fan would have no choice but to retreat temporarily in the face of the returning surging white mist.
It is equivalent to wasting all previous efforts and having to start all over again next time.
The formation nodes that had been built before were now submerged in thick white fog.
If any problem arises and needs repair, Li Fan will have to risk his life and go deep into the white fog to investigate, accompanied by several monks.
Not to mention, during the entire process, one must always be careful and guard against the invasion of the demonic sound of the abyss.
In most cases, the outburst of demonic sound follows a regular pattern, like the tide.
The Qingxuan Army will provide the time of the arrival of each sound wave so that Li Fan and his team can avoid it.
But there are also unexpected situations, and a sudden wave of demonic sound strikes.
Although the location where Li Fan built the formation was already outside the Chizha Abyss, most of the power of the Demonic Sound had been absorbed after passing through the Eternal Immortal Barrier.
But when he really faced the tide of devilish sound, Li Fan truly felt what it was like to be a flame that could be extinguished at any time in a storm.
Those resentful, sharp and terrifying noises surrounded him.
It made him lose his mind.
At one point, the danger level was so severe that even Huanzhen's body protection energy dropped by several percentage points.
Fortunately, the Qingxuan Army is also professional in dealing with the Abyss Demonic Sound.
In every critical moment, they remained calm despite being shocked.
They guarded Li Fan in the center, and at the same time, each of them took out the rare treasure that could swallow the sound.
A strange black stone full of holes.
A faceless human with only two pairs of ears.
The green grass dances to the music.
There are many varieties like this.
Li Fan had even seen the red-haired beasts on Wanlai Island several times.
The effect is also extremely significant.
After it was sacrificed, the devilish sound that was as loud as a tsunami just a moment ago suddenly disappeared.
However, Li Fan keenly noticed that after consuming a certain amount of magic sound, these strange beasts and treasures seemed to undergo some changes.
The strange beasts became more manic and difficult to control, and the strange treasures would occasionally emit strange noises.
Therefore, the Qingxuan Army would basically replace the rare treasures every once in a while.
When the supplies around you are exhausted, you will need to go to the Eternal Immortal Fortress to replenish supplies.
In addition to the silencer treasure, the [Black Death Talisman] that maintains the stronghold and allows the monks to survive in the Yuan-devouring White Mist is also a consumable.
If for some reason the deployment is delayed, the construction will be forced to stop.
In short, building the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array in the vast white fog is definitely several times more difficult than in an ordinary state.
Perhaps because of this reason, even though the progress was slow, Li Fan's ranking on the gold list of the competition was not far behind.
They are basically stable around the top 100.
The current points gap is not too wide, and the top ten lists are constantly changing.
What is more eye-catching than the top ones is the last one among the 783 people.
Jindan monk Guo Yezhong.
Now, almost a year has passed since the competition officially started, and his points still remain at zero.
He is the only one like this on the entire list, so he is much more conspicuous than the first place.
The monks speculated that Guo Ye Zhong was either missing and trapped somewhere, or he had simply defected.
