Zuo Mo was actually quite uncertain in his heart.
The Tian Huan Yue Ming Formation had only been set up to forty-five arrays, and was still twenty-seven arrays short of the seventy-two array mark. Formations like the Tian Huan Yue Ming Formation usually have a special characteristic - the more arrays there are, the greater their power. Moreover, the increase in power is not proportional to the number of individual arrays added, but rather increases in units of six, twelve, thirty-six and so on.
The power of the 45-son array is only slightly greater than that of the 36-son array. If one can complete the 72-son array, the power of the Fu array will be on a completely different level from that of the 36-son array, and it will have advanced to a whole new stage. According to Zuo Mo's estimates, the power of the 72-son array is more than four times that of the 36-son array. Of course, the difficulty of setting up the array also differs greatly. When the number of son arrays reaches a certain level, adding one more son array will almost double the difficulty.
But at this time, it was no longer the moment to consider these things, he had no other choice.
Zong Mingyan didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and instead took a step closer to Zuo Mo.
Zuo Mo no longer hesitated and with a flick of his hand, he conjured up a five-colored crystal pagoda.
The five-colored pagoda flew into the air, and as it encountered the wind, it suddenly grew larger, transforming into a towering figure in the blink of an eye. The five-colored pagoda soared above the puddle, and instantly, misty vapors enveloped the water below, with waves churning violently. The turbulent steam rapidly rose upwards until it reached the base of the five-colored pagoda, and from a distance, it seemed as if the steam was supporting the pagoda.
The Five-Colored Pagoda shone brightly, and countless fine, thread-like five-colored rays flew out from the pagoda body, piercing into various talisman arrays.
The jade pieces, iron nails and bronze furnace of the ten-acre-sized talisman array were like dense lanterns, constantly being filled with five-colored fine lights, centered on the water pool, layer by layer lit up.
If the array of symbols that was just laid out, about ten mu in size, were to emit a dazzling glow, it would be like a large piece of gold embedded on top of a green watermelon hat, completely revealing the face of a nouveau riche, and naturally earning the unanimous disdain of everyone.
When a whole ten-acre array of talismans is activated, all of them light up in an instant, what a dazzling scene, how many people have seen it?
No one has ever seen it.
Such a large-scale array, it can only appear in the forbidden land of a sect's treasure, and not even in an ordinary-sized sect's forbidden land. There is no such thing around the Sword Cave of Wu Kong Jian Men, nor is there one around Dong Fu Dian. Xin Hu Jian Pai does have one, but it has never been activated before; the last time it was activated, I don't know how many hundreds of years ago that was.
The monks surrounding Dongfu were as dense as a swarm of bees, and they were all completely shocked by the magnificent scene!
Wei Sheng and Gu Yongping's battle was undoubtedly more profound and technically rich, but in the face of such a vast array of symbols, it became insignificant. During Wei Sheng and Gu Yongping's Qi Condensation stage, a single sword aura was only seven or eight zhang long, at most ten zhang, no matter how dazzling they were, they couldn't compare to the brilliance of the Ten Mu Symbol Array when activated.
In an instant, the entire Dongfu was eerily silent.
After a moment, people began to come back to their senses from the shock, and Dong Fu suddenly exploded. Tens of thousands of cultivators spoke out at the same time, and the extremely quiet place was suddenly filled with a deafening roar. Some cultivators with relatively weak cultivation only felt a buzzing in their ears and couldn't hear anything.
It wasn't until some time had passed that their hearing returned to normal.
But the crowd's discussion did not stop for a moment, on the contrary, it became more intense.
"It was worth it! Not in vain running so far!"
"Awesome! You said Luo Mo is indeed a bit capable, always able to stir up some trouble!"
"What kind of formation is this? It's simply a forbidden one!"
……
Among the astonishment of the crowd, Fu Zhen had already fully activated. The ten-acre-sized Fu Zhen underwent a transformation.
A bright moon hangs high above the water, its light shining brightly. A blue mist rises from within the array, a hazy veil. Within the mist, countless large and small rings of light rise up, floating in mid-air, gathering and dispersing like schools of fish, their movements ethereal to the extreme.
Three people stand side by side on the roof of a civilian house in Dongfu.
"Zuo Mo is indeed a genius of the Symbol Arrays, to be able to comprehend the Heavenly Ring Moon Whistle Array in such a short period of time. He's truly formidable! Fortunately, we didn't offend him that day." A red-robed man stared intently at Zuo Mo's shadow, exclaiming in admiration.
These three people were none other than the guests who had let Zuo Mo refine the Ink Lotus that day.
"Hmph, he's just a Qi Condensation cultivator who can only rely on external forces. What kind of accomplishments can he achieve?" the burly man sneered.
"It's better if you're less talented." The hawk-nosed man said gloomily.
"You think you can take him down? Don't forget he has a formidable senior brother!" The burly man with a scar on his face shook his head, Wei Shengqiang's overbearing behavior made the three of them extremely wary.
"We are just short of manpower. His senior fellow is a good supplement." said the eagle-nosed man.
The burly man with a scar on his face shook his head: "He's just in the foundation-building period, no matter how powerful the symbol array is, it has its limits."
"As long as there is talent, it will be done." The red-robed man suddenly spoke up: "This isn't a heavenly environment, and cultivators who are proficient in symbol arrays are hard to find. Wei Sheng's strength is formidable, but after all, he's just one person; we three brothers aren't afraid of him either."
The red-robed man was the most authoritative among the three, and when he spoke, the other two did not object. Moreover, what the red-robed man said was true - there were not many cultivators who were well-versed in talismans. Those with some reputation either asked for too high a price or were unwilling to take risks in person.
A burly man with a scar on his face smiled and said, "That's right, if he dares to have any evil intentions, our newly refined Ink Lotus Dark Flag will come in handy."
The man with a hawk-like nose frowned: "How can we persuade Zuo Mo? This guy is not easy to fool, and we can't use force either."
The man in red robe sneered, "Bribery! It's not necessary to mention that someone like Wei Sheng who is infatuated with the sword can't be swayed by such means."
As they spoke, Zong Mingyan had already walked to the edge of the Heavenly Ring Moon Whistle Formation.
At the moment when the sword array was activated, Zong Mingyan had an extremely brief loss of consciousness, but he quickly recovered and his footsteps resumed their usual calm and composed pace. However, the astonishing aura that emanated from his entire body revealed that his fighting spirit had reached its peak.
Zuo Mo's figure disappeared into the formation.
Cerulean mist pervades, as if forming its own realm. Countless large and small halos, lively and dynamic, occasionally collide with each other, emitting a tinkling sound like the intersection of crystal. The tinkling sound weaves through the mist, ethereal and clear, yet with an added sense of lingering resonance.
Everywhere in sight was a blue-green mist and halos that seemed to swim like fish, not only the left Mo, but also the jade pieces and iron nails laid on the ground had all disappeared.
Ding Dong!
Zong Mingyan involuntarily let out a cold snort. As the top young disciple of Dongji Sword Sect, he had followed his master to practice swordsmanship and only had a superficial understanding of talismans.
But what's the difference?
He was not afraid at all.
One sword to break all laws, that's what sword cultivators are about! He was still far from reaching such a magical state, but his opponent across from him was only a foundation-building cultivator. A foundation-building cultivator, could he withstand his own sword?
He doesn't believe it!
As for the feud with Zuo Mo, he had long forgotten about it. He never took that matter to heart, and the expulsion of his sect's disciples was just a matter of being inferior, which he didn't bother to care about. He also didn't have any particular ill feelings towards Zuo Mo, nor would he have any good feelings.
Unfortunately, Yu Bai and Nanyang Ping clashed.
He looked back at the fierce battle raging behind him, then at Zuo Mo in front of him, and his heart felt increasingly empty.
Even if it's not Yu Bai, Nanyang Ping thinks it's a good match, why is it Zuo Mo?
With a sigh of regret in his heart, he summoned the flying sword.
This is an extremely unique flying sword, shaped like a segment of old plum branch. The plum branch has many joints, like copper bones, ancient and strong. On the plum branch, seven bright and full plum blossoms are scattered among them, fresh and elegant as if they had just been picked, with a hint of plum fragrance floating in the air.
"Qī Méi Jiàn! Left Mei Tian actually passed on the Qī Méi Jiàn to him! Looks like they have high expectations for Zōng Míng Yán!"
"This is the first sword of Dong Qi Jian Men, 'Seven Plum Sword'? Indeed extraordinary! Zuo Mei Tian is really bold enough to give such a good flying sword to a Condensed Pulse stage disciple!"
The room was filled with gasps of amazement as everyone's faces were full of astonishment.
"Qī Méi Jiàn" is the most famous flying sword of Dōng Qí Sword Sect, ranked fourth in the list, and is best suited for Dōng Qí Sword Sect's "Zhé Méi Jiàn Jué". However, this flying sword became famous mainly because of its owner, Zuǒ Méi Tiān.
In the Tianyue realm, Zuo Mei Tian is a well-known figure, especially for his ruthless and cunning reputation, which makes everyone wary. In recent years, he has been living in seclusion, and rumors have it that he has been devoted to training his disciples. Now it seems that this is indeed true. The fact that he even passed on the precious "Seven Plum Sword" to Zong Ming Yan shows how deeply he cares for him.
Those who were drooling over "Seven Plum Sword" quickly dispelled their greedy thoughts. It's easy to deal with the young, but if you defeat the young and the old comes out, that would be unbearable.
The four people of Wu Kong Jian Men had a solemn expression, although they wished Zuo Mo would exit the competition early, but when they saw Zong Ming Yan take out the "Seven Plum Sword", their faces couldn't help but change slightly.
Zuo Mei Tian's ruthless and cunning nature was well-known, and his apprentice Zong Ming Yan looked like he wasn't one to show mercy either. They weren't worried about Zuo Mo losing the match at all, because that was a certainty; what they were worried about was Zuo Mo getting hurt. If Zong Ming Yan really had the same temperament as his master Zuo Mei Tian, then Zuo Mo would be in danger today!
However, at this time, Zuomuo's large array had already been fully activated, and through the mirage, they could hardly see the situation inside the array.
Cyan blue vast array, halo group dance, crescent moon high suspended!
Unlike the imagination of the masses, Zuo Mo was extremely busy. Under the cover of the large formation, he quietly made his way to the other end of the formation and continued to set up the "Heavenly Ring Moon Whistle Formation" sub-formation!
With one more layer of the Moonlit Ring Formation, its power will increase by another level.
He moved swiftly and set up forty-five arrays in a row, he was extremely proficient.
He estimated that Zong Mingyan was initially probing, so he planned to make good use of this time.
You hit, I lay!
Isn't it just about speed?
Are you going to break through first, or am I going to complete it first!
Zuo Mo's heart secretly grew more ruthless, his hands moving even faster.
Who would have thought that at such a critical moment, Zuo Mo was still persistently setting up his formation.
