Chapter 352: Hard work building the formation
Ji Hongdao seemed to have not seen the other party disappear, and still said to himself: "What Shaojun should be worried about is that he is in the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation and is not free."
"In terms of safety, there is no need to worry."
"As the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has been promoting, Hedao monks are beyond the capabilities of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array."
"With your strength, Young Master, you shouldn't be afraid of formations, right?"
"If you can exchange a little freedom for enough benefits, I believe you will be very happy, Mr. Shaojun."
"Aren't you really curious about what exactly exists under the abyss and beyond the fog?"
After Ji Hongdao finished speaking, Shaojun's twisted figure reappeared on the dust boat.
He didn't say anything, just looked at Ji Hongdao coldly, waiting for his next words.
Ji Hongdao was not surprised by his departure and return: "After the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array is completely constructed, the Tianxuan Mirror will also be completed and sublimated again."
"When the time comes, the unfinished business two hundred years ago may have a great chance of succeeding."
"Furthermore, if the sublimated Tianxuan Mirror wants to go further, it will not only invade the territory of the Five Elders Association, but also explore outside the boundary."
"As a breakthrough point, the Yuan-devouring White Mist will naturally not give up easily."
"As long as it spares its energy, the Yuan-devouring White Mist will definitely not be able to stop it. It's just a waste of time."
"What you have to do, young master, is to wait patiently."
"After all these years, do you still care about this moment?"
Shaojun didn't seem to be bewitched by Ji Hongdao, and his voice was slightly mocking: "Ji Hongdao, you really haven't changed at all."
Without waiting for the other party to respond, the figure disappeared again.
Ji Hongdao slowly turned his head and looked at the busy monks in the distant immortal base again, with a faint smile on his lips.
…
The next day, Li Fan's hard work in the Abyss officially began.
In addition to Xue Mu, the array masters responsible for cooperating in the construction of the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Array include five monks from the Tianyu Prefecture Ce Array Hall.
Unlike in ordinary states, you only need to consider the construction of formations and don't have to worry about safety issues.
Building the Soul Locking Formation outside this abyss is extremely difficult and requires the joint efforts of many departments.
First, the defender stationed at the Eternal Immortal Fortress, named [Qingxuan], under layers of protection, struggled to open up a blank channel in the white mist for formation.
Then the monks from Tianji Hall came forward to select a suitable location in the passage.
The monks of the Yanwu Hall cooperated with the Qingxuan defenders to quickly create dozens of footholds before Baiwu regained the lost ground.
These footholds are where Li Fan and others rest after each formation.
In order to improve the construction efficiency, under the suggestion of Dou Xingsi, an experienced formation master, the spirit-locking formation covering the abyss was constructed at multiple points at the same time.
The seven formation mages each started to expand outward from one direction, and finally the outer formation was closed.
Then construct the central core formation inward.
Finally, when everything is complete, the core array hub is placed and final debugging is done.
There were no big problems in 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 mist, you must first expel the element-devouring white mist.
The vacuum zone created by Qingxuan Army cannot last long.
Before Bai Wu returns, Li Fan must race against time to complete the production of a small array node so that it can be connected to other array structures later.
If a mistake or accident resulted in only a semi-finished product being completed within the stipulated time, Li Fan would have no choice but to retreat temporarily in the face of the fiercely returning element-devouring white mist.
It's like wasting all your previous efforts and having to start over again next time.
The formation nodes that had been constructed before were already submerged in the thick white mist.
Once any problem occurs and maintenance is needed, 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 all the processes, one must always be careful to guard against the invasion of the abyss's demonic sound.
In most cases, the outbreak of magic sound is like a tide, with a pattern to follow.
The Qingxuan Army will provide the time for each sound wave to come, allowing Li Fan and others to avoid it.
But there are also emergencies, and the tide of magic sounds suddenly strikes.
Although the location where Li Fan built the formation was already outside the abyss, most of the magic sound's power had been absorbed after passing through the Eternal Immortal Barrier.
But when he really faced the craze of magic sound, Li Fan truly felt what a flame could be extinguished at any time in the storm.
Those resentful, sharp and terrifying sounds surrounded him.
Let him lose his mind.
Once, the level of danger and even [Huan Zhen's] body protection charge plummeted by several percentage points.
Fortunately, the Qingxuan Army is also professional in dealing with the Abyss Demonic Sound.
In these critical moments, they remain calm despite being frightened.
Guard Li Fan in the center, and at the same time, each took out the strange treasure that swallowed the sound.
A strange black stone covered with hollows.
A faceless human face with only two pairs of ears.
Green grass dancing with the music.
There's so much variety.
Li Fan has even seen the red-haired strange beasts on Wanlai Island several times.
The effect is also extremely significant.
After the sacrifice, the demonic sound that was roaring like a tsunami a moment ago disappeared immediately.
But Li Fan was keenly aware that after swallowing a certain amount of magic sound, these strange beasts and treasures seemed to undergo some kind of change.
The strange beasts become more manic and difficult to control, and the strange beasts will occasionally spontaneously emit strange sounds.
Therefore, the Qingxuan Army basically replaces the exotic treasures every once in a while.
When the reserves around you are exhausted, you need to go to the Eternal Immortal Base to replenish supplies.
In addition to the silenced treasure, the [Black Death Talisman] that maintains strongholds and enables monks to survive in the element-devouring white mist is also a consumable item.
If the deployment is delayed for some reason, construction will be forced to stop.
In short, building the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation in the vast white mist is definitely several times more difficult than in an ordinary state.
Perhaps for this reason, even if the progress is slow, Li Fan's ranking on the competition gold list is not far behind.
But what is more eye-catching than the top ones is the bottom one among the seven hundred and eighty-three.
Jindan monk Guo Yezhong.
Now almost a year has passed since the official start of the competition, and his points are still at zero, motionless.
He is the only one on the entire list who is like this, so he is much more conspicuous than the first place.
The monks all speculated that Guo Yezhong was either missing and trapped somewhere, or had defected directly.
