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 in the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array and not being free."

"As for safety, there is no need to worry."

"As the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has always advertised, the Hedao cultivators are beyond the ability of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array."

"With your strength, the young master should not be afraid of a mere formation, right?"

"If you can exchange a little freedom for enough benefits, I believe you will be very happy."

"What exactly exists under the abyss and outside the fog, the young master is really not curious?"

After Ji Hongdao finished speaking, the young master's twisted figure reappeared on the Duchen Boat.

Without saying a word, 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 built, the Tianxuan Mirror will also be sublimated again."

"By then, the unfinished business two hundred years ago may have a great chance of success."

"Besides, if the sublimated Tianxuan Mirror wants to go further, in addition to occupying the territory of the Five Elders Association, it is nothing more than exploring outside the boundary."

"As a breakthrough point, it will naturally not give up the Yuan Devouring White Mist easily."

"As long as it spares the energy, the Yuan Devouring White Mist will definitely not be able to stop it. It's nothing more than how much time it takes."

"What Shaojun has to do is to wait patiently."

"So many years have passed, do you still care about this moment?"

Shaojun did not seem to be bewitched by Ji Hongdao, and his voice was slightly sarcastic: "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 distant fairy fortress again, with a faint smile on his lips.

…

The next day, Li Fan's hard work in the Chizha Abyss officially began.

In addition to Xue Mu, the formation master responsible for coordinating the construction of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Formation also included 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 the Soul Locking Formation outside the Chizha Abyss is a difficult task, and it requires the joint efforts of many departments.

First, the garrison stationed in the Eternal Immortal Fortress, named [Qingxuan], under layers of protection, struggled to open up a blank passage in the white fog where they could set up the formation.

Then the cultivators of the Tianji Hall came forward and selected a suitable position in the passage.

The cultivators of the Yanwu Hall cooperated with the Qingxuan garrison to quickly create dozens of footholds before the white fog recovered the lost ground.

These footholds are where Li Fan and his team rest after each formation.

In order to improve the construction efficiency, under the advice of Dou Xingsi, an experienced array master, the Soul Locking Array that shrouds the abyss adopts the method of multi-point blooming and simultaneous construction.

Seven array masters each start to expand outward from one direction, and finally the outer array is closed.

Then construct the central core array inward.

Finally, when everything is complete, the core array hub is placed and the final debugging is done.

There is no big problem with the plan, but the actual construction is extremely difficult.

Even a tenacious person like Li Fan is almost exhausted by the process of building the array.

For example, if you want to arrange the array node in the white fog, you must first expel the Yuan Devouring White Mist.

The vacuum zone opened up 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 array node so that it can be connected with other array structures later.

If a mistake or accident results in only a semi-finished product being completed within the specified time, facing the surging Yuan Devouring White Mist, Li Fan can only retreat temporarily.

It is equivalent to throwing away all the previous efforts and having to start all over again next time.

The nodes of the formation that had been built before were already submerged in the thick white fog.

Once there was a problem and it needed to be repaired, Li Fan would have to risk his life and go deep into the white fog to investigate accompanied by several monks.

Not to mention, in all the processes, he had to be careful to guard against the invasion of the abyss magic sound.

In most cases, the outbreak of the magic sound was like a tide, with a regular pattern to follow.

The Qingxuan Army would provide the time of each sound wave so that Li Fan and his team could avoid it.

But there were also emergencies, and the magic sound tide suddenly attacked.

Although the location where Li Fan built the formation was already outside the abyss, the magic sound had passed through the Eternal Immortal Barrier, and most of its power had been absorbed.

But when he really faced the magic sound frenzy, Li Fan really felt what it was like a flame that could go out at any time in the storm.

Those resentful, sharp and terrifying sounds surrounded him.

It made him lose his mind.

At one point, the danger level was so high that even Huanzhen's body protection energy dropped by several percentage points.

Fortunately, the Qingxuan Army was also professional in dealing with the Abyss Demonic Sound.

At every critical moment, they remained calm despite the shock.

They guarded Li Fan in the center, while each of them took out the strange treasure that swallowed the sound.

A strange black stone with holes all over it.

A faceless human face with only two pairs of ears.

Green grass that danced with the sound.

There were many varieties like this.

Li Fan had even seen the red-haired beasts on Wanlai Island several times.

The effect was also extremely significant.

After the sacrifice, the demonic sound that was like a tsunami just a moment ago suddenly disappeared.

It's just that Li Fan keenly noticed that after swallowing 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 sounds.

Therefore, the Qingxuan Army basically replaced the strange treasures every once in a while.

When the reserves around them were exhausted, they needed to go to the Eternal Immortal Fortress to replenish supplies.

In addition to the silencer treasures, the [Black Death Talisman] that maintained the base and allowed the cultivators to survive in the Yuan Devouring White Mist was also a consumable.

If for some reason, the deployment was delayed, the construction would be forced to stop.

In short, building the Tianxuan Locking Soul Array in the vast white fog is definitely several times more difficult than in ordinary states.

Perhaps it is also for this reason that even though the progress is slow, Li Fan's ranking on the gold list of the big competition is not far behind.

Basically, it is 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.

Jindan cultivator Guo Yezhong.

Now it has been almost a year since the competition officially started, and his points are still at zero, motionless.

He is the only one in the entire list, so he is much more conspicuous than the first one.

The cultivators speculated that Guo Yezhong was either missing and trapped somewhere, or he had directly defected.
