Chapter 484: Repairing the Great Formation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ever since the appearance of the emperor-level patriarch of the Xuantian sect, the influence of the Xuantian sect in the world expanded once again.

During the battle between humans and demons, a large number of humans fled.

Many human families protected their geniuses before they were destroyed.

After these geniuses lost the protection of their families, they went to the Xuantian sect one after another.

As the number of geniuses increased, the number of disciples of the Xuantian sect also increased rapidly.

The disciples of various clans started to form groups, and some geniuses tried to rope in each other.

In order to combat this phenomenon, the entire Xuantian sect strictly required disciples from every corner, and downplayed their factions and origins.

Every disciple was required to wear the uniform of the Xuantian sect.

Many of those who disobeyed were punished.

Especially when the Xuantian sect did not spread the news of the Xuantian sect forming groups and fighting, they were even punished to go out and serve hard labor.

The sudden appearance of disciples who did not wear the uniform of the sect surprised them.

“Should we remind them?”

“Remind them? This rule has existed for decades. Which Xuantian sect disciple doesn’t know about it? You don’t have to remind them. Maybe they did it on purpose.”

“Don’t meddle in other people’s business. Maybe it’s an elder!”

“An elder also wears the uniform of an elder, unless it’s a semi-god realm expert.”

“Humph! Semi-god realm elders are all busy cultivating and educating their own disciples. Who would be so idle?”

“You guys go to the cultivation room. I want to watch a good show here.”

Then, a few disciples stayed not far away to watch Li Mu.

Then, the disciples who came and went also stopped. They either stayed not far away or hid in a corner to wait for the incident to erupt.

Perhaps they were too anxious to wait, and some disciples secretly ran out to report to the law enforcement team.

“Sigh, there are politics everywhere.”

Li Mu did not know how to describe this disciple who was a snitch.

After all, without the identity of a disciple of the Xuantian sect, it was not in accordance with the rules of the Xuantian sect to appear in their premises.

When the law enforcement team arrived, Li Mu’s figure suddenly disappeared.

After that, Li Mu appeared in a forest of pagodas.

These pagodas were all the memorial tablets of the Xuantian sect’s disciples who had died in battle.

Most of them were newly built.

Apart from the newly built pagodas that had been destroyed and rebuilt by the Dragon clan’s experts, there were also the disciples who had gone out to battle and gain experience over the years.

“I didn’t expect that the Xuantian sect’s elder would actually build this place as part of the array base.”

That’s right!

It was a bit of a waste to use such good materials to build the Merit Pagoda Forest.

Using such good materials could be considered as a consolation to the disciples of the Xuantian sect who died in battle.

Shua ~

A servant disciple waved a broom and swept away the fallen leaves in the Merit Pagoda forest.

Li Mu slowly walked into the Merit Pagoda Forest.

Every pagoda was engraved with runes.

Hundreds of thousands of pagodas formed a huge array base.

“It’s also the Xuantian sect. If it was any other faction, they wouldn’t be able to build such a spectacular pagoda forest.”

If other demonic beasts died, so be it.

The better ones would be left with a tomb, while the worse ones would be buried in the stomachs of other demonic beasts.

Many demonic beasts who were about to reach the end of their lifespans chose to perish together with their opponents. In the end, the better ones would die in their own caves and their demonic bone demonic cores would be dug out by their descendants.

And among the humans, no faction had such a long history as the Xuantian sect.

The Merit Pagoda Forest was just a way for the Xuantian sect to settle down their disciples who had died in battle.

“Sigh, the Xuantian sect still lacks a formation master! What is this like?”

Li Mu shook his head.

Not only were these runes low-grade, there were even some runes that had errors.

This was a huge project.

There were hundreds of thousands of pagodas, and each pagoda had countless small formations.

It was just like every punctuation mark on the software.

Every single rune modification on each small formation could change the entire formation.

There was no need to be afraid of modifying these runes. It would take some time.

Modifying the runes while the array formation was in operation was something that even array masters did not dare to do.

It had always been the case that small arrays could operate to form a large array formation.

Only when there was no problem with the operation of the large array formation could it be used as the foundation.

If there was a problem with the operation of the Large Array Formation, then they would have to dismantle the other small arrays one by one to find a reason.

A super array like the sect protecting array was made up of countless array bases.

If there was a problem with a small array, then there would be a problem with the array, and the entire sect protecting array might collapse because of it.

When repairing a random tower, Li Mu had to make sufficient preparations.

Once the sect protecting array collapsed, it would not be easy to pick it up.

When the array collapsed, what was burned was not software, but a lot of hardware. Some formation bases could not withstand the energy and were damaged, so the losses would be huge.

Li Mu’s spiritual sense landed on the merit tower and began to look for errors and loopholes.

He stood there for a day.

Shua ~

The gray-clothed handyman waved his broom and swept in front of Li Mu.

He glanced at Li Mu and swept away the fallen leaves beside Li Mu’s feet.

The next day, Li Mu began to recover.

Every recovery step had to be paid attention to.

On this day, Li Mu’s spiritual sense kept surging, and the Merit Pagoda Forest quietly changed.

Shua ~

The gray-clothed handyman waved his broom and swept in front of Li Mu again.

He glanced at Li Mu and swept away the dust around him.

In the next few days, the handyman still did not disturb Li Mu.

If there were trash around Li Mu, he would sweep them away. If there were none, he would go around him.

Like a lowly servant, he worked silently.

After a few days, the Merit Pagoda Forest erupted with a marvelous aura. Following that, the entire formation became even smoother. Even the sect protecting formation had become much stronger.

“Not bad. At least I still have some results after doing it.”

Thinking about how he had worked hard in the secret land for so many years and had not obtained anything after racking his brains, his heart felt much better now.

Regardless of whether this result was related to him or not, at least there was a result.

“This handyman is a little interesting.”

When he turned around and left, Li Mu swept a glance at the handyman with his spiritual sense.

His heart was filled with indescribable emotions.

Back then, he was also a handyman.

His fate was the same as this handyman.

He was in the cold palace, while this one was in the cooling Merit Pagoda Forest.

The handyman looked to be in his thirties, with a cultivation at the peak of the Xiantian realm.

If he was in the southern region back then, he would have been a genius.

But in the Xuantian sect, a person in his thirties was still at the Xiantian realm. He was almost no different from trash.

From this handyman, Li Mu saw his appearance after not having any opportunities.

“Perhaps I won’t be as good as him after not having any opportunities!”

Turning his head, Li Mu looked at the Merit Pagoda Forest again.

His spiritual sense moved again.

Following that, mysterious runes rose up from the Merit Pagoda Forest.

The vitality of the entire forest was also rising rapidly.

Two months later, Li Mu returned to the secret land again and continued to crack some of the restrictions.

It was the same as before.

After many restrictions were opened, it was empty.

Apart from the daily signing rewards that could calm Li Mu’s mood, the rest of the time, Li Mu’s mood was very bad.

Especially after he spent a lot of effort to crack a cave abode, there was nothing.

“What exactly does the rune on the bronze coffin mean?”

Anxious yet helpless.

Time passed bit by bit.

Two years later, in a certain valley, a strange red bird with a head and eyebrows flapped its wings and flew towards the Heavenly Shine region.

“After all these years, that human emperor-level expert should have let down his guard, right?”

The strange red bird’s face was full of worry, and its eyes were full of worry.

Should he launch another sneak attack?

The Red Bird counted the treasures in his hands and shook his head.

He couldn’t do that anymore.

Once he was discovered, he would really die this time.

He had to go back first

No matter what, he had to go back and ask the elders first. Even if he was sent out again, he had to prepare enough trump cards before he came out.

“I hope that human forgets about me and allows me to return smoothly.”
