Subsequently, Li Mu took out a beast hide from his sleeve, and with a surge of magical power, a complex and intricate Formation diagram was revealed.
“This diagram shows the layout of the Spirit Eye Heavenly Dipper Array, along with its thirty-six key nodes!”
“The refining method for this array is extremely complex; it first requires setting up the ‘Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Gathering Spirit Formation’ to gather Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which serves as the foundation for refining the array.
Then, a high-level Yao Beast soul is used as an lead , to communicate with Heaven and Earth, and forty-nine kinds of Spiritual Materials are refined one by one until they fuse with each other, forming an Acquired Mist Spirit.”
“Finally, by integrating the Mist Spirit into the ‘Spirit Eye Heavenly Dipper Array,’ one can perceive every subtle movement around the Seal!”
“Next, I need everyone to cooperate with me to set up this array together!”
Li Mu gazed at the complex Formation diagram before him, then scanned the entire area, providing a detailed explanation.
“Elder Li, please give us any instructions you have! We will definitely complete them as required!” Ouyang Jin, the Fourth Elder of the Ouyang Family, said hastily, his scalp tingling as he looked at the intricate Formation diagram.
“That’s right! This array is too ingenious, too complex; we’ll just do as you say!” Ji Wuheng, the Third Elder of the Ji Family, chimed in.
The Void Refining Cultivators present all nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with both awe and anticipation, as being able to participate in setting up such a complex and powerful Formation was a rare opportunity to improve their own cultivation and Formation mastery.
Seeing this, Li Mu smiled faintly and said calmly, “In that case, I won’t be modest!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu took out a storage ring containing Formation Materials from his Pregnant , and with a thought of his Divine Thought, a massive amount of high-grade Spiritual Materials poured out of the ring like flowing light, suspended in mid-air.
Each Spiritual Material emitted a faint glow, imbued with rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
“First, we need to determine the nine main points and eight auxiliary points of the ‘Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Gathering Spirit Formation’.”
Li Mu lightly waved his finger, and instantly, nine bright points and eight slightly dimmer spots appeared in the Void Realm, scattered orderly within a virtual circular area.
After speaking, Li Mu pushed a batch of Formation pillars, the Spiritual Materials for setting up the Formation, and distributed them to Fang Yunjian, indicating, “Executive Fang, please take charge of setting up the Qian, Kan, and Gen Palaces among the Nine Palaces.”
“Understood!” Fang Yunjian accepted the order, put away the Formation pillars and Formation Spiritual Materials, and proceeded to the designated location to set up the Formation according to Li Mu’s instructions.
At the same time, Li Mu pushed another batch of Formation Spiritual Materials towards Nangong Ming and solemnly instructed, “Fellow Daoist Nangong, you are responsible for setting up the Kun, Zhen, and Li Palaces.”
“Yes!” Nangong Ming of the Nangong Family accepted the order and headed in another direction with the Spiritual Materials.
“Next are the Xun, Dui, and Central Palaces, as well as the eight auxiliary points.”
Li Mu nodded approvingly, then pointed to other positions on the Formation diagram, distributing tasks to others: “Fellow Daoist Ouyang, you are responsible for setting up the Xun Palace and four auxiliary points; Fellow Daoist Ji, you are responsible for the Dui Palace and the remaining four auxiliary points… Remember, every point needs to be precise and cannot afford any mistakes.”
Upon hearing this, everyone received their orders and began to set up the Formation according to Li Mu’s instructions.
For a time, the entire Yin Yang Valley was filled with their busy figures, everyone performing their respective duties, with Li Mu as the leader, jointly constructing a large-scale Formation.
Li Mu stood in the center of the Grand Formation, using his Divine Thought as eyes, closely monitoring the setup of each Formation point, sometimes transmitting instructions with his Divine Thought to guide everyone in setting up the Formation, and sometimes closing his eyes in concentration to sense the precision of the Formation patterns…
Under Li Mu’s control, the Cultivators were like a precise instrument, unleashing their magical power, using their thoughts as brushes, and Heaven and Earth as a canvas, to set up a large-scale Formation covering dozens of miles.
As time passed, the entire “Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Gathering Spirit Formation” gradually took shape.
The nine main points and eight auxiliary points dotted the virtual circular area like stars, each point emitting a dazzling light, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi formed a perfect resonance.
However, this was only the first step in setting up the Formation.
Next, Li Mu needed to connect these points to form a complete Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Gathering Spirit Formation.
He formed hand Seals, chanted incantations, and his entire body’s magical power surged out like a tide.
His Dao Lord-level powerful Divine Thought activated the Formation eyes one by one, connecting the nine main points and eight auxiliary points.
The next moment, countless Formation patterns emerged above the Yin Yang Valley, shimmering like stars.
Under Li Mu’s control, these Formation patterns seemed to come alive, intertwining and coiling in the Void Realm, forming complex and profound designs.
As the Formation eyes were activated one by one, the entire “Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Gathering Spirit Formation” began to operate, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was frantically absorbed into the Formation, forming a giant Spiritual Qi vortex.
The Cultivators, feeling the might of the Formation, all showed expressions of astonishment, yet this was only the beginning; the real highlight was yet to come.
Indeed, not long after, Li Mu transmitted a message to everyone, indicating, “The Spirit Formation is complete.
Next, we will use a high-level Yao Beast soul as an lead to communicate with Heaven and Earth, and refine forty-nine types of Spiritual Materials to form the Acquired Mist Spirit.”
Upon hearing this, everyone retreated to the side to observe; they could no longer assist in the next steps.
Li Mu took out a pre-prepared altar from his storage ring and placed it in the center of the Formation.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he condensed a ball of Five Elements Spiritual Fire.
At this moment, Li Mu’s expression became exceptionally solemn as he slowly walked onto the altar.
At the same time, he took out a jade bottle sealing a high-level Yao Beast soul from his storage ring.
He gently twisted it, and a wisp of green smoke curled up from the bottle’s mouth, transforming into a phantom Yao Beast form.
It was bound in the air, full of terror, yet unable to struggle, as if controlled by a powerful restraining force.
“This is the soul of a Seventh-tier Nether Howling Moon Wolf Emperor, which will serve as the Spirit of this array.”
Li Mu whispered an introduction to everyone, then formed hand Seals and chanted incantations, his magical power continuously surging into the altar.
Soon, Li Mu used the Five Elements Spiritual Fire as a medium, and with the power of Heaven and Earth, he refined the forty-nine types of Spiritual Materials, causing them to fuse with the soul, forming the Acquired Mist Spirit.
Under Li Mu’s meticulous control, the Five Elements Spiritual Fire burned fiercely, illuminating the space above the altar.
The forty-nine types of Spiritual Materials, guided by Li Mu’s magical power, were successively thrown into the flames, and with soft crackling sounds, they began to melt, releasing their unique Spiritual Qi and Law power.
These Spiritual Qi and Law power intertwined and collided in the air, as if engaged in a silent contest.
However, under the suppression of Li Mu’s powerful Divine Thought and magical power, they were eventually subdued one by one, gradually fusing into a pure and powerful energy flow, converging towards the Nether Howling Moon Wolf Emperor’s soul in the center of the altar.
When the Nether Howling Moon Wolf Emperor’s soul sensed the approach of this energy, its originally terrified expression gradually became calm, even subtly revealing a hint of anticipation, as if it knew this was its chance to break free from its shackles and gain new life.
Under Li Mu’s guidance, this energy flow slowly permeated into the soul, beginning a deep Fusion with its internal will and power.
Throughout the process, the light on the altar grew increasingly brilliant, and countless rays of light intertwined in the Void Realm to form mysterious patterns, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.
The Cultivators stood in the distance, silently watching this scene, filled with awe, as they watched Li Mu complete such a massive and complex Formation step by step.
Next, they would witness the completion of the “Spirit Eye Heavenly Dipper Array.”
Time passed bit by bit, three days, seven days…
Until the morning of the tenth day, within the Yin Yang Valley, the light above the altar finally reached an unprecedented Peak, dazzling and almost illuminating the sky.
Under the illumination of this light, the entire valley seemed to be enveloped by a mysterious mist, and within that mist, endless Spiritual Qi and Law fluctuations were contained.
Li Mu stood by the altar, his expression solemn and focused, his eyes tightly closed, as if he was engaged in some deep-level communication with the Nether Howling Moon Wolf Emperor’s soul within the altar.
The light on the altar began to converge into a thick beam of light, shooting straight into the sky, drawing in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, forming an even more spectacular Spiritual Qi vortex.
Under the influence of this power, the Nether Howling Moon Wolf Emperor’s soul gradually and completely fused with the energy flow transformed from the forty-nine Spiritual Materials, forming a phantom yet solidified wolf-shaped Mist Spirit.
This wolf-shaped Mist Spirit was surrounded by a faint Spiritual Light, and its eyes shimmered with the light of wisdom and power.
It seemed no longer a mere soul, but a Formation Spirit with new consciousness and powerful strength.
Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hands, and instantly extinguished the Five Elements Spiritual Fire on the altar.
At the same time, he injected all his magical power and Divine Thought into the wolf-shaped Mist Spirit, guiding it to slowly integrate into the “Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Gathering Spirit Formation.”
With the integration of the wolf-shaped Mist Spirit, the entire “Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Gathering Spirit Formation” underwent a drastic change once again.
The already powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuations became even more turbulent and surging, as if even Heaven and Earth trembled because of it.
And under the influence of this power, the thirty-six key nodes of the “Spirit Eye Heavenly Dipper Array” also began to be activated one by one, emitting dazzling light.
Finally, under everyone’s gaze, the wolf-shaped Mist Spirit perfectly fused with the “Spirit Eye Heavenly Dipper Array,” forming a vast and complex Formation, condensing into a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
This beam of light illuminated every inch of the Yin Yang Valley and formed an eye-shaped pattern in the sky, as if the will of Heaven and Earth was at this moment paying attention to the entire Spirit Valley.
As the Spiritual Light of the altar receded, Li Mu produced a jade tablet, on which complex runes were carved, flowing with a faint light, as if echoing the “eye” in the sky.
“This is the Formation tablet of the ‘Spirit Eye Heavenly Dipper Array’.”
Li Mu’s voice was steady and powerful.
He gently raised the Formation tablet, displaying it to everyone: “It can provide real-time warnings of Spiritual Qi fluctuations and can also be used to constantly monitor movements within a thousand-mile radius around the Yin Yang Valley, whether it’s people or Yao Beasts, or even subtle changes in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi—nothing can escape its surveillance.”
Fang Yunjian and the others were all amazed upon hearing this, knowing that this Formation tablet was the control center of the “Spirit Eye Heavenly Dipper Array,” and an important tool for them to guard the Yin Yang Valley and explore the unknown in the future.
With that, Li Mu handed the Formation tablet to Fang Yunjian.
Fang Yunjian took the Formation tablet, slowly injected magical power, and silently thought of an area around the Yin Yang Valley.
A moment later, a clear image emerged in Fang Yunjian’s mind; whether it was mountains and rivers, or plants, insects, and fish, they were all lifelike, as if appearing right before his eyes, and the range was many times greater than what he could perceive with his own Divine Thought.
“Truly astonishing!” Fang Yunjian couldn’t help but exclaim, the power of the “Spirit Eye Heavenly Dipper Array” far exceeded his imagination.
“The ‘Spirit Eye Heavenly Dipper Array’ warning Grand Formation has been set up.
Next, I plan to set up another Protective Grand Formation.
If Demon Abyss forces attack, it can help you rely on the Formation to resist the enemy, fighting one against a hundred, and buy time for reinforcements.”
Li Mu smiled faintly, looking at everyone and indicating.
“May I ask, Elder Li, what kind of Protective Formation do you intend to set up?” Sword Elder - Yun Yi looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.
This time, Sword Elder - Yun Yi was the only Body Integration Cultivator stationed in the Yin Yang Valley.
However, with the Demon Abyss forces coming fiercely, the appearance of a Great Vehicle Dao Lord was not impossible.
Therefore, although he had confidence, he inevitably felt a bit uneasy.
Compared to the warning Formation, Sword Elder - Yun Yi was even more eager for Li Mu to display his superb Formation-setting skills and set up a powerful Protective Grand Formation for this place.
Li Mu’s gaze swept across Yun Yi and the other Cultivators’ faces one by one.
Seeing that everyone was full of anticipation, he smiled and replied, “The Protective Formation I want to set up is an ancient wondrous Formation—the ‘Burning Sun Killing Array’.
This array is no small matter.
It utilizes the advantageous terrain of the Yin Yang Valley, with mountains as its bones and this Spiritual Vein as its foundation, and then borrows the Extreme Yang Qi to unleash its Killing Array power.”
“Burning Sun Killing Array?” Yun Yi and the Cultivators present all had their expressions turn solemn upon hearing this.
Although there were many among them who had dabbled in Formations, the name ‘Burning Sun Killing Array’ was well-known, even to those battle-hardened Cultivators.
As the name suggests, this Formation takes Yang power as its core, condensing the Yang Qi between Heaven and Earth to the extreme, forming a scorching pure Yang Law Domain, which dispels demons and evil, and is invincible, making it perfect for dealing with Demon Cultivators.
Even Righteous Path Cultivators, in the face of the endless Burning Sun power, can unleash the power of extinguishing life.
“That’s right, it is the ‘Burning Sun Killing Array’.
Once this Formation is set up, it will not only be able to resist external enemies but also launch counterattacks at critical moments, sweeping away all invaders.”
As Li Mu spoke, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
The power of this Formation was indeed immense; with the enhancement of this protective Formation, their confidence in defending this place would undoubtedly increase greatly.
But at the same time, the Cultivators couldn’t help but feel some doubts.
A hint of worry flashed in Sword Elder - Yun Yi’s eyes as he looked at Li Mu and asked in confusion, “Elder Li, it’s certainly good that you can set up such a Killing Array by utilizing the advantages of this place, but won’t it damage the Extreme Yang Seal Grand Formation?
If the Seal Grand Formation collapses because of this, wouldn’t we be sinners?”
Upon hearing this, Li Mu smiled faintly, as if he had already anticipated this question, and quickly reassured them, “Everyone, don’t worry.
Although this Formation borrows the Extreme Yang Formation power of this place, what it consumes is less than one or two ten-thousandths of it, so it won’t have much impact on the Seal Grand Formation.”
“Moreover, the Burning Sun Killing Array needs everyone’s guidance, and its power is also within everyone’s control.
When using this array to resist enemies, we only need to make slight adjustments to make it target only the enemies, without harming the Yin Yang Valley in the slightest.”
Li Mu added by way of explanation.
After hearing this, the doubts in the Cultivators’ hearts completely dissipated.
“Since that’s the case, we will fully cooperate with Elder Li to complete the setup of the ‘Burning Sun Killing Array’,” Yun Yi quickly stated.
The other Cultivators also nodded, expressing their willingness to fully support him.
Li Mu smiled and nodded, using his sword as a brush and his thoughts as ink, imprinting complex Formation patterns onto the Formation walls of the Yin Yang Valley. (End of this chapter)
