Chapter 1314: Chapter 1089: Deployment
Sun and Moon Ascension Array!
Qin Meng raised his hand, and with a shimmering treasure light, took out a moon-shaped Star Device that flowed with cold light and constantly changed phases.
It was one of the Holy Artifacts stored by the Great Flame—Moon Phase Wheel.
Besides this treasure, there were also several exquisitely crafted stone pillars, resplendent with starry light and full of runes.
"The basic principle of the Sun and Moon Ascension Array is the Yin Yang Formation, with Nine Palace Changes.
Besides Cangqiong and Cloud Cliff serving as the array eyes of the double stars of sun and moon, seven Heavenly Star Connecting Pillars must also be set up.
By accepting the Heavenly Star Power, the array’s range and power can be expanded, leveraging sun and moon power to stir the boundless stars.
Once this array is activated, it can suppress other powers with the might of the sun, moon, and heavenly stars.
As long as one is within its coverage range...
King Levels below Third Stage will have their Star Power suppressed by around seventy to eighty percent;
Even Sixth Stage King Levels will have their Star Power suppressed by nearly half;
And even those above Seventh Stage will be affected by two to thirty percent!"
After hearing this, everyone, including Su Yuan, felt a shock in their hearts.
Even King Levels above Seventh Stage can be suppressed by two to thirty percent?!
Qin Meng smiled and continued: "If no one enters the array, it can use the might of the sun, moon, and heavenly stars for defense.
If people like Fang Yu and Yuwen Imperial Throne are leading the array, even several High Stage Demon Kings would find it difficult to break it from the outside!
And if someone does enter the array to break it... using the array’s might, Star Shifting and Nine Palace Changes can swiftly redeploy personnel!"
Everyone was even more surprised at these words.
Usually, without war, the vast majority have never seen an Eighth-level Array.
And an Eighth-level Array, with its terrifying suppression on King Levels, has unimaginable strategic significance!
No wonder the department dares to assault the Grey Realm so boldly.
With this array, if well executed, it can completely block the first wave or two of the Grey Realm’s impact!
After speaking, Qin Meng stepped aside, and Fang Qingxiao took over, addressing the crowd:
"After we conquered Cloud Cliff Royal Court and Cangqiong Royal Court, the nearby Royal Courts have retreated for self-preservation, without fully taking away their many treasures.
But deeper in the Grey Realm, more experts are continuously moving into the northern Daze Ridge, in the Fierce Sun and Lion Heart High Stage Royal Courts, ready to attack anytime once they have enough manpower, so we must quickly set up this array."
Everyone replied solemnly, with a tense feeling of the overwhelming clouds pressing down on the city.
Seeing this, Fang Qingxiao smiled and said: "Everyone, don’t worry too much, reinforcements from the Military Supervision Department and the Education Bureau are already on their way, and large-scale Transmission Array for retreat has also been established simultaneously."
Subsequently, Fang Qingxiao unfolded a map projection, telling everyone:
"The positions for setting up the Heavenly Star Connecting Pillars have been marked. Next, you will need to take the pillars and deploy them at the respective positions.
Wei Chi, Yu Ming, Qi Feng, Su Yuan, head to Li Palace.
Liang Cheng, Wen Ziqing, Zhou Lin, Jiang Lan, head to Dui Palace.
..."
Cangqiong and Cloud Cliff simultaneously serve as the array eyes, with overlapping yang and yin, heaven and earth. Cloud Cliff Royal Court is where Fang Qingxiao is stationed with the Moon Phase Wheel.
Besides this, Cloud Cliff also has to handle three of the Seven Palace Positions.
Thus, Fang Qingxiao divided the personnel into three teams.
"Yes, Imperial Throne!"
The team leaders, including Wei Chi, stepped forward to take the Heavenly Star Connecting Pillars from Qin Meng.
At this moment, Qin Meng reminded from the side: "Everyone, once these pillars are set, they will attract the Heavenly Star Power, making a considerable commotion, so please be careful."
Fang Qingxiao also said: "The two High Stage Royal Courts at the northern Daze Ridge have started preparing for war, monitored by White Feather Guards.
I will personally keep an eye on the experts among them. Be extra cautious while deploying the array..."
The Five Great Armies of the Strong Assault Imperial Court—Red Fangs fierce, Yellow Mountain robust, Purple Thunder strong, White Feather swift, and Dark Corrosion tricky...
With the imminent war, although the nearby Royal Courts have retreated, any major movement from the Great Flame’s side would not escape the eyes of the White Feather Guards.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Fang Qingxiao looked at the crowd: "Then, let’s begin the operation."
"Yes, Imperial Throne!"
...
Wei Chi led Su Yuan, Yu Ming, and Qi Feng rapidly northward.
Li Palace was the most northerly of the three locations, which was why Wei Chi was leading the team.
After a long while, they stopped in a valley surrounded by mountains.
Wei Chi flipped out a map, gave it a brief glance, and said in a low voice: "Here it is."
With that, Wei Chi flipped out the Heavenly Star Connecting Pillar given by Qin Meng and set it firmly into the ground.
As the ground trembled, the pillar slowly sank underground, becoming stable.
Although this pillar wasn’t a Holy Artifact like the Moon Phase Wheel, it was still a custom-made item more precious than a Dragon-level Pulse Setting Column.
As the pillar was set, the runes engraved on it began to flicker fiercely, and the Heavenly Star Connecting Pillar rapidly expanded by a hundredfold, while massive array patterns quickly spread around.
With a humming sound, starry light flickered in the high sky, and the sky changed, resembling a pouring galaxy, as the descending Heavenly Star Power converged upon the pillar.
This scene bore a striking resemblance to the Starlight Dragon Vein in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm.
Everyone focused their eyes, immediately becoming alert.
Qi Feng gazed at the descending starry light and couldn’t help but sigh softly: "This sight is nothing ordinary, no wonder Grandmaster Qin advised us to be more cautious..."
Yu Ming glanced at it, then said solemnly: "An Eighth-level Array, naturally, won’t be simple..."
Qi Feng, hearing this, suddenly thought of something and turned to Su Yuan:
"It’s said that Royal Envoy Su is also highly skilled in array techniques and stepped into the Grandmaster level in his early years. With such talent, he may have the prospect of reaching the Grandmaster realm in the future!"
Su Yuan replied, "Qi Envoy jests. I could never compare to Grandmaster Qin."
Qi Feng chuckled and was about to say more, but was interrupted by Wei Chi.
"Qi Feng, scout the area, while the others prepare for defense," said Wei Chi.
"Understood!"
Qi Feng, with a serious expression, complied and immediately flew to the mountaintop ahead to conduct investigation technique and remain on guard.
Meanwhile, Wei Chi drew a fierce horizontal blade from his hand, planted it into the ground, and closed his eyes with his hands resting on the hilt.
Su Yuan sat down, surrounded by silver light, with fluctuations in the void, apparently familiarizing himself with the just-mastered Space Law.
"Even during preparations for battle, Royal Envoy Su diligently cultivates. His talent is remarkable, and his diligence surpasses the common man..." Yu Ming commented unexpectedly.
Yu Ming’s words were not just about the present but also hinted at Su Yuan’s previous absence during the unified action due to his deep immersion in cultivation practice.
On the mountaintop, Qi Feng’s eyes flickered, and he slightly turned his gaze.
But Wei Chi remained motionless like in meditation, showing no reaction.
"Better late than never, fortunately, slaying a few Demon Kings made up for it." Su Yuan calmly stated, "Besides, no matter how diligent I am, it may still take ten to twenty years to barely catch up with Royal Envoy Yu’s level."
Yu Ming’s words caused a slight pause, followed by a low snort.
Thousands of years of cultivation, and Su Yuan could catch up in ten to twenty years—was that not stifling?
Given this person’s cultivation history, perhaps he truly could achieve it!
