Moreover, given Chen Zhou's current ability to control true qi, setting up three formations in succession and keeping them from dissipating is no problem at all; Chen Zhou is confident in this.
However, the number of four formations is uncertain.
In other words, if Chen Zhou didn't know about the fourth formation, he would have to be extremely careful to successfully set it up.
"Brother Qi Rui, I'm about to begin. You and your tribesmen should stay ten meters away from me. I need to go to the base of the sacred tree," Chen Zhou said.
Yu Qirui looked at Chen Zhou with surprise and said, "Can we start now?"
Seeing Yu Qirui's surprised expression, Chen Zhou nodded. That's just how capricious I am.
"Why do you want us to step back ten meters?" Yu Junya asked immediately. She still didn't quite trust Chen Zhou. Once she left Chen Zhou's side, he would have a chance to escape. If Chen Zhou had ulterior motives, he would definitely not let such an opportunity pass.
It will be difficult for Yu Junya and the others to pursue them then, since they are already quite far apart.
"The Divine Tree Protection Array is much larger than you imagine. This distance is actually relatively small. Once I start setting it up, you'll probably have to retreat about ten meters," Chen Zhou said slowly. The system not only verbally analyzed it for him but also summarized a set of data in Chen Zhou's mind, showing the range of the array.
This formation is divided into four smaller formations, which are located on the four sides of the divine tree. After all four formations are set up, Chen Zhou will connect them with his true energy. Only then will the divine tree protection formation be considered to be successfully set up.
“Okay! We’ll retreat immediately.” Yu Qirui agreed without hesitation, and then left to call the Inata warriors on guard.
Now only Chen Zhou and Yu Junya remained, standing face to face. Chen Zhou looked at Yu Junya with a rather awkward expression and said, "Um, why are you staring at me like that?"
"I advise you not to try anything funny," Yu Junya said fiercely, then walked towards Yu Qirui and the others.
Chen Zhou didn't hold it against Yu Junya, nor did he take those words to heart. These issues would all be resolved once Chen Zhou finished setting up the formation.
Chen Zhou quickly walked to the base of the divine tree. Stepping from the outside to the base, Chen Zhou could clearly feel the change in true energy. The true energy under the divine tree was significantly denser. Chen Zhou could vaguely guess why this tribe had so many cultivators and even a Heartbeat Stage expert in charge.
It's likely that all of this is inextricably linked to this sacred tree.
Chen Zhou remembered the task assigned by the sect leader: to set up an array to make the Sword Cloud Sect's true energy more concentrated, thus greatly increasing their strength.
The sacred tree of the Natal tribe is probably equivalent to the formation needed by the Sword Cloud Sect; it's all the same principle.
The denser the true energy, the more powerful individuals there are.
Countries like the Southern Kingdom are located in areas where the true energy is relatively scarce on the Tianyun Continent, so there are very few strong individuals.
There wasn't even a single Golden Core cultivator; only the sect leader of the Sword Cloud Sect was at the Golden Core level.
There is only one Golden Core Realm cultivator in the vast southern jungle and mountainous region, which is enough to illustrate how weak the Southern Kingdom and the areas under its jurisdiction are.
Chen Zhou sat cross-legged under the divine tree, then opened the scroll and laid it flat in front of him. He silently activated his pupil technique and began to purposefully search for the array's core.
When Chen Zhou first searched for the array's core, he was aimless. Now that he has some understanding of the array, it will greatly help him find the core.
Chen Zhou first searched the four corners of the formation, attempting to find the core of the simplest formation first.
As expected, with the system's guidance, Chen Zhou quickly found the array eye of one of the formations, and then arranged it to the left of the divine tree according to the location of the array eye.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhou began to follow the array eye to find all the true energy lines related to this array eye, and then slowly began to outline the array on the left side of the divine tree.
The most tedious part of setting up the formation was drawing the lines, but Chen Zhou dared not relax his vigilance at all and focused all his attention on drawing the lines.
Setting up the first formation is like getting off to a good start, which gives Chen Zhou great confidence in setting up the next formation. If the first formation fails, it will be much more difficult for Chen Zhou to set up the next formation.
From afar, Yu Junya and Yu Qirui both saw the faint lines of true energy slowly emerging under Chen Zhou's drawing.
"He's already started?" Yu Junya asked, her face full of doubt.
He's only a level one array master, so why did he start setting up the array less than an hour after receiving the array diagram?
That damned level-three array master took a full three months to even begin setting it up.
Is this fake?
Is this guy trying to fool us?
Yu Junya naturally thought so, but she dared not say it. Now was the crucial moment for setting up the formation and morale was also needed. If she said it, she would not only be refuted by Yu Qirui, but also upset the morale of the Natal warriors present.
If Chen Zhou had glanced at them during the formation process and seen this demoralized scene, it would have certainly affected the formation.
So Yu Junya forced herself to suppress her thoughts and decided to wait and see.
Chen Zhou has now outlined most of this small formation based on the key point of the formation, and only the finishing stage remains. At this stage, Chen Zhou can start to multitask, outlining the finishing stage while searching for the key point of the next formation.
This can increase efficiency.
"Bang!"
Chen Zhou outlined the last line of the small formation, and then the formation was completed. At the moment of completion, the entire formation trembled slightly, and then floated quietly in mid-air without moving, as if it had a sense of joy.
A joy that I haven't felt in a long time.
"So even formations have feelings..." Chen Zhou muttered as he noticed this.
This protective array for the sacred tree had always accompanied it until it suddenly disappeared. Now, a small array has finally reappeared, which shows the joy it brings.
"It actually worked!!" Yu Junya's face immediately lit up with joy, and she couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.
Yu Qirui nodded, his face beaming with smiles. Some of the Antar warriors present didn't understand what was going on, but seeing their leader smiling made them happy too.
"Chen Dachuan, I knew I hadn't misjudged you..." Yu Qirui murmured with a smile.
Yu Junya's opinion of him completely changed at this moment. She put her hands down, which had been behind her back. This man was really helping them.
