Chapter 251 - Array Formation (1/2)

How difficult would it be to build a saint mountain, refining the mountain itself and surrounding it with Heavenly Dharma soul weapons isn't enough.

Zhong Yue studied the Singing Goose Mountain. After a few days of refinement, the mountain now had a new look. Even so, it was still nowhere close to something like Gu Xia City, not to mention the real holy lands like Xian Kong Saint City or Swords Gate.

Places like Gu Xia City could only be achieved after thousands of years of establishment, with generation after generation of hard work strengthening it. However, Zhong Yue didn't have any of that.

Hence, he didn't think to compete with them. All he was asking for was to establish a good foundation so that one day his territory could really be developed into a holy land.

Zhong Yue took out the other soul weapons he had plundered. Most of them were the soul weapons of the Atman Body experts he had killed.

Other than these, there were the soul weapons of the Xiao Mang Celestial experts, and Lian Xin and Chi Liannu's Heavenly Dharma soul weapons.

Although the Heavenly Dharma soul weapons were strong, Zhong Yue couldn't wield them at all. He could only use the Atman Body soul weapons. If he wielded the Inner Core soul weapons, he could only unleash thirty to forty percent of their powers.

Zhong Yue was going to use these soul weapons, the Wu Yang River, the bright moon, and the totem pillars to construct an array formation on the mountain, and make it an impregnable fortress.

It'll be very difficult to place such a huge and complex array formation, how should I do it…

Zhong Yue was cracking his head to find an array formation that was suitable for the Singing Goose Mountain. He wasn't proficient in the ways of array formations, and had only practiced a few of them, such as the Sword Cocoon Sword Silk Array and Ba Ji Slaughtering Array.

In terms of array formation, Xin Huo is the master! I can ask Xin Huo to teach me one, the array formations he knows must be incredibly strong.

Zhong Yue asked Xin Huo about this, but surprisingly, the little flame shook his head and said, "Request declined."

Zhong Yue was piqued, and said, "Selfish!"

However, Xin Huo laughed and answered, "It's not that I'm selfish, but the array formations I know are all god-level array formations. Even if I taught you, you can't use them, as you probably won't understand anything at all. Furthermore, you already have more suitable array formations, why did you even ask me?"

Zhong Yue was stunned, "I already have more suitable array formations? Why didn't I know about them?"

Xin Huo then reminded him, "The spirit of Great Sun Golden Crow, the spirit of Jade Moon Star Toad, both of them contain the ways of array formations in them. All you need to do is understand them and attain the arts from them, it won't be a problem to place an array formation by then."

The Great Sun Golden Crow Totem Patterns and the Jade Moon Star Toad Totem Patterns contained information regarding the array formations. But Zhong Yue's attainments in them were not deep enough. Even though he had seen the array formation patterns inside them, they were disordered and it was nearly impossible to organize them, which was why he stopped learning them.

When Xin Huo brought this matter up, Zhong Yue was puzzled, and said, "The array formation totem patterns in the sun spirit and moon spirit are disorganized, and there aren't any array formations that can organize the totem patterns together into a complete array formation, so how can I do it?"

Xin Huo then asked him in confusion, "No array formation? But didn't the old man of Swords Gate teach you the ways of array formation?"

"The headmaster taught me the ways of array formation? Why didn't I know about it?" Zhong Yue was startled. "The headmaster only taught me the [Great Boundless Sword Qi] and the arts of sculpting, when did he teach me any array formations … wait a minute!"

An image suddenly came into his mind, it was the scene where the old man was sculpting, the Sword Qi that waltzed on the old man's fingertips. He then thought of the process when he sculpted; his heart skipped a beat and he murmured, "He did teach me the ways of array formation… and I ignored it all this while!"

Zhong Yue was enthralled and sank into his own thoughts. Walking into a palace in his monastery, marvelous thoughts came into his mind as he talked to himself, "Array formations, array formations… so these are the array formations!"

In his mind, one thought after another emerged, he was constructing and contemplating the array formations in his mind. After a long time, he closed his eyes, sat down and started to organize his memories.

All of a sudden, he opened his eyes wide, rays flashed in them. He reached out his hands to the outside of the palace, and brought a towering tree into the palace. While the tree was in mid-air, he had already cast out his Sword Qi to trim the tree into timber.

With the Sword Qi waltzing on his fingertips, the timber was sculpted into small pieces of wood pillars about one foot long.

Eighteen wooden pillars were lifted into the air by his psyche, his Sword Qi turned small and tiny, shuttling in between the wood pillars. Soon, as the wood shavings settled, he had carved the wood pillars into totem god pillars.

Zhong Yue put away his Sword Qi and surged his psyche into the eighteen totem pillars. Instantly, the totem patterns on the pillars emanated bright and dazzling rays, abstruse totem patterns shot out from the pillars, reforming and amalgamating around the array formation into a ninety-foot tall dragon turtle!

Following on the heel of the dragon turtle's emergence, a two hundred feet long snake with a pair of fluttering wings was formed right on the dragon turtle's back by the totem pillars' totem patterns. It wound around the dragon turtle, merging the two creatures into nothing else but the legendary Xuan Wu!

Zhong Yue had divided the totem patterns of the [Xuan Wu Gold Spirit Skill] into eighteen different parts and carved them onto the eighteen wood pillars. By connecting the eighteen Xuan Wu Totem Pillars together, they would form an array formation that could cast out the Xuan Wu!

Zhong Yue stared vacantly at the Xuan Wu in the mid-air. This was the result of the array formation made by the totem patterns he had just made, this was the Xuan Wu Gold Spirit Array Formation!

The old man had indeed taught him the ways of array formation, he hadn't realized it at all, as he had never thought that it could be done this way!

The [Xuan Wu Gold Spirit Skill] was a defensive skill, how could a skill be an array formation?

And yet, the arts of sculpting taught to him by the old man had changed this defensive skill into an array formation!

"So this is how it is, this is it…"

All of a sudden, Zhong Yue threw a punch at the Xuan Wu Array Formation. The strong and sturdy dragon turtle shook for a second, while the totem patterns on its back glimmered as they ward off the strength in his punch.

The Teng Snake fluttered its wings, coiling its body, and unloaded the impact force from the strike.
