This setup method has its benefits, because it is individually apportioned, the efficiency will be very high, and the three-month time limit should be sufficient. However, it also has drawbacks, as the attainment in the Array Path differs among individuals. This may result in uneven quality in the set-up regions, potentially affecting the overall operation of the big array.

Moreover, if the regions cannot be seamlessly aligned with each other after the setup is completed, it will have to be rearranged, which is cumbersome and labor-intensive.

Hence, this matter requires someone to oversee and control the entire project, distributing the tasks of each formation region to each participating array cultivator or ghost cultivator.

As for the choice of overseer, Wuchang is undoubtedly the candidate, possessing both the qualifications and the attainment needed.

Eligible array cultivators and ghost cultivators to contribute to such a grand project gathered at Haotian City, with more and more assembling, regardless of their cultivation level. Even a Cloud River Realm cultivator can participate, as there are numerous mundane tasks during the array setup requiring manpower, which is the time for Cloud River Realm cultivators to contribute.

Thus, in such a grand project, the more manpower available, the better.

Not only due to the pressure of the three-month deadline, but for ghost cultivators and array cultivators, such an array diagram from a Sun Blaze Realm expert is also a rare treasure. It is extremely helpful for them to enhance their own Array Path attainment.

No one imagined that array-cultivating cultivators from the Nine Provinces would gather in this way, on the plaza where the celebratory banquet was previously held, congregating to study the array diagram and discuss intensely.

Lu Ye was also among them.

Like others, he was very curious about the specific function of this array diagram and wanted to gain answers through research and discussion, but unfortunately did not yield any significant results.

While the array cultivators in Haotian City studied the array diagram and assigned tasks, other Constellation Realm cultivators had gone ahead.

Although Liyuan has been chosen as the setup location, it is too vast and still requires finding a suitable area within it.

Moreover, setting up a big array of this scale requires adequate preliminary preparations.

Just like building a house, one must first compact the foundation; the more solid the foundation, the more stable the constructed house will be.

The same principle applies to array setup, especially with such a large-scale array. Having a good foundation facilitates later array setups while maximizing the array's effectiveness.

Once the decision to set up the array is made, no one will slack off.

Yueh Xin set a three-month deadline, but no one knows if he will return halfway to supervise the progress. If he finds that people from the Nine Provinces have cut corners and only gone through the motions, no one can endure his wrath if he gets angry.

Thus, they can only dedicate themselves, striving for perfection and extremity at this stage!

A massive amount of resources has already been dispatched in advance, with contributions from various minor sects, but most coming from the Heaven's Augury Mercantile Union.

The Heaven's Augury Mercantile Union is an enterprise secretly supported by Number Nine, who even holds the title of Store Manager, although no one has ever seen the true face of the Store Manager from time immemorial.

This big array matter concerns the entire Nine Provinces, and the Heaven's Augury Mercantile Union cannot stay aloof. Thus, under the secret dispatch of Number Nine, the resources stored within the Heaven's Augury Mercantile Union significantly dwindled overnight.

Thus, ten days later, a vast stream of light departed from Haotian City.

The preliminary preparations have already been completed, and next, it is time to proceed with the array setup, naturally involving these array cultivators and ghost cultivators.

Those with high cultivation levels first flew to Liyuan. For those with insufficient cultivation, slow flying speed, a few treasure ships were deployed from Haotian City to transport them, which wouldn't delay more than a day or two.

Atop Liyuan, under the leadership of Wuchang, Lu Ye, along with a group of ghost cultivators and array cultivators, arrived early. Overlooking from high above, they all remained silent.

In ten days, the foundation for setting up the big array has been prepared; it is an area covering about 30 miles in circumference.

Now what the array-cultivating cultivators must do is lay out the entire array diagram over this foundation.

This is certainly an immensely grand undertaking, and it is definitely not something a single cultivator can complete alone. Although this is an action taken under external coercion by a formidable outsider, it is also a grand feast.

After a long while, Wuchang finally said, "Everyone, I leave the rest in your capable hands!" As he spoke, he waved his hand grandly: "Begin!"

Behind him, one figure after another turned into streams of light, falling into different positions as previously assigned.

Although the number of array cultivators and ghost cultivators from the Nine Provinces is quite a lot, in such an environment, only cultivators above the Divine Sea Realm can exert their strength. All ghost cultivators and array cultivators below the Divine Sea Realm can only assist since they are too slow. Once they arrive, Wuchang will assign them to various regions to assist the Divine Sea Realm cultivators with array setup.

A range of hundreds of miles is enormous, and there are barely five hundred Divine Sea Realm array cultivators and ghost cultivators available from the Nine Provinces to exert their efforts. Averaged out, almost each one has to be responsible for an area of about 30 miles.

The amount of resources consumed is undoubtedly beyond estimation, and the time consumed is also bound to be exceedingly long.

Three months may seem like a lot, but if any mistakes occur in between, it might truly be insufficient.

Lu Ye's assigned area is in the upper left corner of the array diagram, and the personnel to assist him have not arrived yet, so he can only be self-reliant for now.

Such a massive formation is completely different from the ones he set up before. The construction of all the formation patterns requires refining various materials into them, and different positions require different materials. It's not something that can be casually constructed just by channeling spirit force, hence it is very troublesome.

He worked tirelessly here for an entire day, only completing a formation map area the size of a tabletop, which shows the complexity involved.

Luckily, at this time, the array cultivators and ghost cultivators below the Divine Sea Realm arrived and, under Wuchang's assignments, each headed to different areas to lend a hand.

Ying Wuji was among them. As per Wuchang's assignment, he came to the upper left corner of the foundation, and with a glance, he nearly turned and left.

It's not fair. Of all the Divine Sea Realm array cultivators and ghost cultivators present, why was he specifically assigned to Lu Yiye?

When he saw Lu Ye, Lu Ye naturally saw him too.

They looked at each other, Lu Ye smiled slightly, and Ying Wuji was full of embarrassment.

Throughout the entire Nine Provinces, out of billions of cultivators, Lu Ye was the last person he wanted to see. He had been tormented quite a bit before and now he wasn't tormented anymore, but meeting still inevitably led to feeling inferior!

Ying Wuji considered himself a dragon among men, a genius with a talent as high as sixty-three leaves, but compared to this guy Lu Yiye, he was simply a bit revolting.

When he was in the Cloud River Realm, his cultivation was a bit higher than Lu Ye's. But by the Early Stage of the True Lake Realm, his cultivation began to lag behind, and now it's even more outrageous. He is still only in the True Lake Realm, while Lu Yiye has already reached Divine Sea Level 7!

The disparity is so vast, it's simply heartbreaking.

Ying Wuji just couldn't understand what on earth Lu Yiye had consumed to boost his cultivation to such an illogical extent.

Of course, he knew cultivators shouldn't compare themselves to others. He envied Lu Yiye, and many more people would envy him.

But knowing is one thing, it's hard to avoid having all sorts of thoughts, which made him feel that his character and cultivation were lacking!

He straightened his back, took a step forward, thinking that since fate decreed he had to face Lu Yiye, he should make good use of this opportunity to overcome this inner demon!

"Little Ying, go over there and fetch some supplies, we're running low." Lu Ye pointed to a spot where people from Heaven's Augury Mercantile Union were guarding the supplies, available for use as needed, and could be replenished at any time, making it quite convenient.

Ying Wuji instinctively responded, "Oh, okay!" But after a few steps, he suddenly turned to glare angrily at Lu Ye: "Don't call me Little Ying!"

Shouting as if we are so familiar with each other.

Lu Ye didn't bother with courtesy: "Less nonsense, hurry up!"

Ying Wuji instantly became dispirited, thinking that the days of working under Lu Ye would be truly hard to endure.

Fortunately, more people soon joined in, and under Wuchang's directives, each Divine Sea Realm cultivator had several people assisting, relieving some of Ying Wuji's embarrassment.

On Liyuan, it was a bustling scene, with Wuchang patrolling back and forth, occasionally stopping to discuss and study with a Divine Sea Realm cultivator.

On the massive foundation, in the patches of areas, the formation's patterns began to expand and extend. Judging by the current progress, although the three-month deadline was tight, at least it could barely suffice.

Setting up a formation is a very troublesome task. Activating spirit force to set up a formation before was simple but those formations generally didn't last long. To maintain it truly for long, it required the consumption of a lot of manpower and resources, just like what's happening now.

In the process of setting up the formation, whether for a Divine Sea Realm cultivator like Lu Ye or someone like Ying Wuji who assisted him, both gained a lot.

With increased contact, Ying Wuji found that surprisingly, Lu Yiye didn't seem to have much intention of tormenting him, be it due to his cultivation improvement or a more open mind, which allowed Ying Wuji to ease his mind.

When assisting Lu Ye with others, he sometimes raised some questions, and Lu Ye tried his best to answer them.

Lu Ye never intended to torment him, not before and even less now.

As his cultivation increased, he gradually discovered a problem, which was that his cultivation speed was too fast, so fast that his companions and friends couldn't keep up.

It was the same for his companions and friends before, and the same for his past enemies.

This meant he would spend less and less time with his companions and friends, inevitably meeting new friends and enemies, and the past would eventually turn into memories.

This left him feeling melancholy often.

Amber and Yiyi clearly realized this issue too, so even lazy Amber has been working hard in cultivation lately. But no matter how hard they try, they have just been promoted to Divine Sea, and the cultivation gap with Lu Ye is still significant.

Soon, they will have to face a very real situation. Lu Ye will be the first to ascend to the Constellation Realm, leave the Nine Provinces, and step into the stellar space, and then separation will be inevitable.
