I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1735: Chapter 895: Small Reversible Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation_2

This can increase the probability of cultivators with Ice Spirit Root forming their Core; the Immortal Gate also has it. It’s a specialty of the sea territory’s depths, called Heavenly Blue Ice Jade.

Chen Mobai gave it to Yan Bingxuan a long time ago. Over the years, she has nurtured it with her spiritual power, just waiting to refine it into her body during Core Formation.

”I have prepared another gift for you. After you get the Water Element Golden Core Pill, I’ll give it to you.”

Chen Mobai took the Ice Marrow Pure Jade from Yan Bingxuan’s hand. As he spoke, it suddenly slipped from his hand. The beautiful jade fell along the smooth ice-like skin, disappearing into a deep crevice, vanishing in an instant.

With a startled exclamation, Chen Mobai reached in, laboriously groping, and finally managed to retrieve that piece of Ice Marrow Pure Jade.

At this moment, Yan Bingxuan’s snow-white cheeks were already flushed with embarrassment.

After a year passed, the Three Great Halls of the Immortal Gate suddenly shifted from their previous leisurely state to a tense and busy one.

After announcing the opening of a war last year, regardless of the situation in the neighboring different world, the Immortal Gate needed to be prepared for wartime.

Among them, the Orthodox Law Hall’s Military Department was especially so.

After Chen Mobai inspected the Ten Great Military Regions, which are also the ten pivotal nodes of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, they are of utmost importance. After close observation, the fifth rank formation knowledge of the Immortal Gate in his mind began to come together.

At this time, he could already be said to be the formation master second only to Patriarch Qian Xing and Yunhai Master in the Immortal Gate; even if he went to take the Fifth Rank Formation Master exam, he might only stumble on the final major question, but he was confident in scoring full marks on the rest.

Of course, even though he had learned it, whenever he had time, he would still go to the Nature Studies Academy to solidify his knowledge with Yunhai Master.

After perfecting the formation, Chen Mobai immediately returned to the Eastern Wilderness.

First, he rebuilt the large formation of Northern Abyss City.

He didn’t dismantle everything because the Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation had consumed many resources of the Five Elements Sect.

An excellent array master needs to adapt formations according to the environment rather than changing the world at great expense just to arrange formations as prescribed.

Only after becoming a fifth-rank formation master did Chen Mobai realize that the Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation, which reassured all cultivators of Northern Abyss City, had so many flaws and vulnerabilities.

He remodeled and upgraded it with the Immortal Gate’s fifth rank direct and inverse Nine Palaces Formation concept, combined with the topography of Northern Abyss City. Due to the limitation of spiritual veins and the lack of core fifth-rank spiritual objects, Chen Mobai only completed an upgrade to a fourth-rank superior grade blueprint.

This upgraded city-protecting formation, based on the original Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation and infused with the Immortal Gate’s fifth rank direct and inverse Nine Palaces Formation, was named ”Small Direct and Inverse Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation.”

When conditions permit in the future, upgrading to a fifth rank array can transform it from small to large.

After completing the design and theory of the ”Small Direct and Inverse Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation,” it still needed practical operation.

It also served as an opportunity to determine if the sect’s formation masters were worth nurturing.

With this in mind, Chen Mobai immediately called over Yi Shaoqing from the Formation Division. Over the years, Yi Shaoqing had shown the highest talent in the Dao of formations, working diligently and reliably.

Upon seeing the formation, Yi Shaoqing’s eyes widened. Having studied formations all his life, he had never seen such exquisite and detailed blueprints.

Some characters and marks in it were beyond his comprehension, but they must be profound formation inheritances, the sect’s top secrets, so Chen Mobai didn’t explain, and Yi Shaoqing dared not ask.

”This is the city-protecting formation I remodeled. Take a look, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, ask quickly. After explaining this, we’ll go check the formations of the other Immortal Cities and Scholarly Mansions in the Eastern Wilderness to get those blueprints created as soon as possible.”

Upon saying this, Yi Shaoqing could no longer hold back his pent-up questions and blurted them out one after another.

After studying the ”Small Direct and Inverse Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation” blueprint thoroughly, Yi Shaoqing actually entered a state of sudden enlightenment. Sitting atop North Abyss Mountain, he gazed down at the luminous Immortal City below. The blueprints in his mind materialized in his pupils, as if virtual lines descended upon various parts of the Immortal City, where lines intersect, there lay spiritual pivots, the sites for array flag placements.

And all the lines ultimately converged at the center, where he sat atop North Abyss Mountain.

But Yi Shaoqing knew this formation had both a direct and inverse core.

They overlapped now, which was why only one could be seen.

He couldn’t help but rise, requesting the core array plate of the Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation from Chen Mobai, who smiled and handed it to him, whereupon Yi Shaoqing left Northern Abyss City with the array plate.

At this moment, the previously overlapping direct and inverse cores began to shift.

The direct core’s fourth rank Longevity Wood remained suppressing the peak of North Abyss Mountain.

The inverse core’s array plate, held by Yi Shaoqing, moved along with him.

In this dynamic process, the lines extending between the direct and inverse cores constantly changed, rendering the ”Small Direct and Inverse Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation” equally changeable and unpredictable.

This meant that even if the complete blueprints of the formation fell into the hands of the Five Elements Sect’s enemies, they couldn’t follow the blueprint to resolve the ”Small Direct and Inverse Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation.”

Could the Dao of formations be this exquisite and mysterious!?

Yi Shaoqing was thoroughly opened to a new world.

Returning to the peak of North Abyss Mountain with the array plate, Yi Shaoqing paid great respect to Chen Mobai.

”Thank you, Sect Leader, for leading me into the true realm of the Dao of formations.”

It was at this moment that Yi Shaoqing realized how brief and crude his previous formation knowledge was.

”Stand up, you were able to become a third-rank array master in an environment like the Eastern Wilderness, your talent is indeed impressive.”

Chen Mobai was gratified to see Yi Shaoqing’s ability to adapt and master the rudimentary elements of the Immortal Gate’s Formation Dao after just one lecture.

He couldn’t teach the Immortal Gate’s formations, but he could touch upon basic knowledge during the blueprint explanations.

Still, Yi Shaoqing’s comprehension was surprising to Chen Mobai, as it required high aptitude and insight.

The lack of knowledge in the Eastern Wilderness had buried many talents.

If it were the Immortal Gate, Yi Shaoqing’s achievements would not pale compared to Yunyang Bing.

”Sect Leader, I have come up with some new questions to ask you.”

Having been immersed in his newfound understanding of the Dao of formations, Yi Shaoqing pulled out a pen and paper. He began to describe the problem he encountered during his realization process while integrating the ”Small Direct and Inverse Mount Meru Nine Palaces Formation” with Northern Abyss City, questioning why certain lines twisted and turned in their paths.

”Aren’t there many houses built there? If we don’t circumvent them, we’d have to demolish them, and the owners probably wouldn’t agree; that would definitely cost a lot of spirit stones.”

Chen Mobai explained it, still unable to shake off the perspective from the Immortal Gate.

It’s well-known that in the Immortal Gate, land acquisition challenges lie in demolition. If the people are unwilling, not even the Three Hall Masters can proceed with the demolitions.

”Sect Leader, who would dare object if our Five Elements Sect wants to demolish anything in Northern Abyss City?”

Yi Shaoqing remarked, puzzled. He felt the circuitous paths of the formation lines only added unnecessary difficulty to the layout.

In his view, it wasn’t necessary.

”It seems you are right.”

Prompted by Yi Shaoqing, Chen Mobai realized.

This isn’t the Immortal Gate. Why should he be so considerate of the people here?

Were he to order demolition, even if it meant tearing down Northern Abyss City entirely, no one in the Eastern Wilderness would dare utter a word against it.

Nevertheless, this couldn’t be entirely blamed on him, for the Immortal Gate’s formation knowledge emphasized a people-centered approach, explicitly stated in their standards.

But here in the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai held the ultimate authority!
