Chapter 1763: Chapter 1752: Ancient Defensive Array
When the Demon Emperor Xue Tian learned about the events outside Heavenly Sound City.
Spiritual Medicine Valley and the Refining Sect naturally became aware of this news as well. As Ye Chenfeng and Su Bingyun had anticipated, upon learning of this news, these two sects immediately headed towards the alliance of the three major sects.
Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng was within Heavenly Sound City.
After all members of the Heavenly Sound Sect moved into Heavenly Sound City, Ye Chenfeng himself took out five million High Grade Spirit Stones. He then gathered another fifteen million High Grade Spirit Stones from the Heavenly Sound Sect and other sects, totaling twenty million High Grade Spirit Stones.
Although Ye Chenfeng had once swept through the treasure vault of the Blood Soul Clan within the Ancient God Demon Land, after periods of consumption, there were still tens of millions of High Grade Spirit Stones in his Chaos Ring! He possessed far more spirit stones than any sect in the Earth Profound Realm.
However, since other sects were also part of this alliance, the spirit stones certainly couldn’t be provided solely by Ye Chenfeng.
The reason Ye Chenfeng was confident in ensuring everyone’s safety yesterday was because of the knowledge gained from Old Black and Old White, who informed him about an ancient defensive formation and an ancient killing formation.
Ye Chenfeng aimed to collect twenty million High Grade Spirit Stones to install the ancient defensive formation, which he learned from Old Black and Old White. This ancient defensive formation was a relatively simple existence among ancient formations, but it was more than sufficient for the Earth Profound Realm.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t initially set up the ancient killing formation because it was far more complex to arrange than the ancient defensive formation. Given the limited time available, with the alliance of the three major sects possibly attacking soon, Ye Chenfeng decided to set up the simpler ancient defensive formation.
The entire twenty million High Grade Spirit Stones were piled on a square within Heavenly Sound City. Under the sun’s rays, the blocks of High Grade Spirit Stones looked exceptionally appealing.
Ye Chenfeng stood at the forefront of the square, with all sects that had joined the alliance present.
Ye Chenfeng’s alliance now consisted of Heavenly Sound Sect, Yunxian Sect, Sunset Island, and the Red Flame Sect, along with an additional Second Grade sect and two Fourth-Rank sects. It could be said that Ye Chenfeng’s alliance was still relatively weak in power.
Ye Chenfeng was very confident in the Heavenly Sound Sect and Yunxian Sect and other sects. However, he wasn’t as confident with the additional Second Grade sect and two Fourth-Rank sects. Nonetheless, the news about Ye Chenfeng had spread to these three sects yesterday. Although they weren’t certain if Ye Chenfeng was genuinely a Fifth-Rank Alchemist and a Fifth-Rank Artifact Refiner, they chose to trust Heavenly Sound Sect and temporarily accepted Ye Chenfeng as the Alliance Hierarch.
Ye Chenfeng cleared his throat and said, “I’ve provided five million High Grade Spirit Stones myself and requested you to gather fifteen million High Grade Spirit Stones. I intend to set up a formation within Heavenly Sound City. As long as this formation exists, the alliance of the three major sects and the demonic path, if they want to invade our Heavenly Sound City, it will practically be impossible.”
Ye Chenfeng spoke firmly and powerfully, holding several pieces of white cloth in his hand. On the cloth, he had drawn the arrangement and placement of the spirit stones. He handed these pieces of white cloth to Su Yue and said, “You must arrange the twenty million High Grade Spirit Stones within Heavenly Sound City according to the drawings on my cloth.”
“There is a pattern in the arrangement of the High Grade Spirit Stones. I only need to demonstrate to you once, and you will find it extremely simple to set them up. Arrange the High Grade Spirit Stones according to the positions marked on the white cloth.”
Ye Chenfeng directly demonstrated to Su Yue and others how to arrange the spirit stones. After confirming that Su Yue and the others had learned it, he then instructed them to start arranging the spirit stones inside Heavenly Sound City according to the positions marked on the white cloth.
Then Ye Chenfeng walked out of Heavenly Sound City and arrived at a city wall outside. He took out a massive brush from his Chaos Ring, which counted as a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact. He requested this brush from the Heavenly Sound Sect yesterday.
Next, Ye Chenfeng brought out a wooden barrel from his Chaos Ring, filled with a type of red liquid. Ye Chenfeng had compounded this using several precious Spirit Grass yesterday, and last night he compounded thirty barrels!
Ye Chenfeng sliced his finger and dripped twenty drops of blood into the barrel. The red liquid in the barrel became even more vivid.
Ye Chenfeng directly dipped the massive brush into the barrel. As he drew out the brush, Spiritual Energy quickly concentrated into the brush from within Ye Chenfeng’s body, and his mind focused intensely. The massive brush in his hand began to sketch on the wall in front of him.
Ye Chenfeng was sketching formation diagrams. He had to draw formation diagrams on each surrounding city wall to complete the ancient defensive formation’s critical aspect.
Once Su Yue and others completed arranging the twenty million High Grade Spirit Stones within Heavenly Sound City, these formation diagrams could absorb the energy from the twenty million High Grade Spirit Stones to counter incoming attacks.
Of course, the defense of this ancient defensive formation was extremely formidable. Yet, the stronger the skill of the person sketching the diagrams, the more power the ancient defensive formation could unleash.
Within the alliance, only Ye Chenfeng had the capability to sketch such formation diagrams because Old White and Old Black continually guided him. If others were to learn this, it’s unclear how long it would take to fill the nearby walls fully with formation diagrams!
According to Old White and Old Black, although Ye Chenfeng’s strength was only at the Middle Stage of the Reincarnation Realm, this formation was, after all, ancient. With Ye Chenfeng’s skill in sketching diagrams, it was sufficient for defense.
Sketching formation diagrams certainly couldn’t use ordinary brushes. Originally, if the Heavenly Sound Sect didn’t possess Spiritual Artifacts like the brush, Ye Chenfeng would have had to refine one himself.
Also, the reason for dripping his own blood into the red liquid used for sketching the diagrams was to create a subtle connection between Ye Chenfeng and the formation once completed, allowing him to control the formation.
Therefore, when the red liquid from the first barrel is used up, Ye Chenfeng must still drip twenty drops of blood into the second barrel.
Of course, drawing the array diagram is extremely consuming of spiritual energy. Fortunately, Ye Chenfeng is an alchemist, and he can constantly rely on elixir pills to replenish the spiritual energy within his body.
Ye Chenfeng’s giant brush was constantly waving on the city wall, and each stroke he made was extremely cautious, with beads of sweat continuously emerging on his forehead and cheeks.
In the blink of an eye.
A day passed again.
Ye Chenfeng tirelessly drew the array diagram without rest.
Ye Chenfeng had already completed the drawing of the array diagrams on half of the city wall.
After Ye Chenfeng finished drawing another array diagram, he noticed Su Yue, Su Bingyun, and others standing beside him.
Ye Chenfeng threw the giant brush into a wooden bucket and asked, “Did you finish setting up the spirit stones?”
Su Yue nodded and said, “That’s right, Alliance Hierarch, although we finished setting up the spirit stones, we haven’t felt any changes within Heavenly Sound City.”
Ye Chenfeng carefully sensed through the array diagrams drawn on the city wall and realized that there was indeed energy slowly flowing into them. As long as he activated the array diagram, the defense would be immediately activated.
After all, given the large number of people Su Yue had, finishing the setup of twenty million spirit stones so quickly was normal.
Moreover, with energy flowing into the array diagram, it also proved that Su Yue and the others hadn’t placed the spirit stones incorrectly. These array diagrams were drawn by Ye Chenfeng, and only he could sense the changes within the diagrams.
Ye Chenfeng’s palm lightly touched the city wall in front of him, and the array diagram was instantly activated, emitting a faint power. Even Su Yue and the others could sense it now. However, this power was too weak, which caused Su Yue and the others to frown.
The array diagrams on the surrounding walls could be activated individually. Ye Chenfeng felt it necessary to demonstrate the power of the defense array in front of Su Yue and the others.
Ye Chenfeng said, “Everyone here exert all your strength to attack this wall, and you’ll see the power of the defense array.”
Su Yue frowned even tighter. Besides emitting a faint power, the wall in front of them showed no other special changes. In Su Yue’s view, even Reincarnation Realm individuals could easily destroy such a faint power.
“Are you sure you want us to attack together? And with full force?” Su Yue asked.
Ye Chenfeng replied, “That’s right, if you believe me, all of you exert your full strength and attack.”
Su Yue, Su Bingyun, and four Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Sound Sect as well as Zuo Deyuan from Yunxian Sect exchanged glances. Then, they simultaneously raised their momentum within, causing the surrounding space to suddenly become chaotic, with extremely strong momentum permeating the air.
Su Yue and the Nirvana Realm experts all launched their attacks on the city wall almost simultaneously.
Attacks from over ten Nirvana Realm experts were no small matter; the surrounding space seemed about to be shattered.
However.
As these extreme attacks were about to hit the city wall, the energy within the array diagram surged explosively, and the entire wall was enveloped in a white light.
With a “boom!”, the attacks from over ten Nirvana Realm experts were neutralized by the energy within the array diagram, and the white light enveloping the city wall didn’t stir even a ripple, nor did the wall reveal a single crack.
Ye Chenfeng smiled and said, “Pretty impressive, right? Once the array diagrams on all the walls are completed and activated together, the defense will become even more formidable.”
After speaking.
Ye Chenfeng ignored the stunned crowd, including Su Yue, and continued to draw the array diagrams.
