"Are the things I asked for ready?"
"Ready, ready." Inside the Ice and Fire Two Heavens Eye, the Aromatic Silk Beauty responded with fear and respect, while simultaneously lowering its flower stems repeatedly in rapid succession to indicate constant nodding.
The petals trembled slightly, and a piece of Wu Jue stone floated over slowly. (T/N: The stone that the Yearning Heartbroken Red is attached to)
After taking it, looking at the large white flower resembling a peony rooted upon it, Chen Junting nodded in satisfaction.
After storing it away, he turned and walked toward the Ice and Fire Two Heavens Eye without looking back, allowing the trembling Aromatic Silk Beauty to breathe a sigh of relief.
Upon learning that Huo Yuhao was taking Wang Dong'er to tour Nine Treasure City, he had not intended to disturb them. Anyway, with Huo Yuhao accompanying her, it would not be too late to resolve other matters after he finished his own tasks.
Thus, he came to the Ice and Fire Two Heavens Eye.
Taking the Yearning Heartbroken Red that the Aromatic Silk Beauty had cultivated was one thing, but more importantly, he needed to take away the developing Golden Ancient Tree and copy the terrain of the Ice and Fire Two Heavens Eye.
Chen Junting walked to the side of the Fire Spring. A small tree not yet as tall as an adult swayed its branches occasionally, emitting a faint golden light, inhaling and exhaling heavenly and earthly vital energy, appearing radiant.
He reached out and gently stroked the trunk of the Golden Ancient Tree.
"In just a few years, a branch from back then has grown into a small tree. But today, I am here to take you to a new home."
As the saying goes, all things have spirits, let alone the Golden Ancient Tree.
As if it understood, the branches and leaves of the Golden Ancient Tree suddenly trembled rhythmically. A feeling of reluctance rarely emanated from a small tree that was not even a soul beast.
But the feeling of reluctance lasted only a moment before this small tree displayed a posture of "pick me as you wish."
Sensing all this, Chen Junting felt both amused and helpless.
You're just a tree, can you stop being so dramatic?
Then…
Without another word, he began his actions.
Setting up the formation, digging up the tree, transplanting and planting it—everything was done decisively and cleanly. In less than three minutes, the small tree was transferred into a flower pot and then stored inside a Storage Soul Tool capable of preserving living things.
As for why not put it into the Undead Demiplane…
Come on, it would "suffer from incompatibility."
After doing all this, he opened the Eye of Fate, aimed it at the Ice and Fire Two Heavens Eye, and copied its terrain completely.
Although he had done this before, his realm in array techniques was different now. Since he was here, he naturally had to check for omissions and fill gaps, ensuring the subsequent sect-protecting great formation was perfect.
Suddenly, the light within the Eye of Fate shifted.
A beam of golden light fell until it reached the bottom of the spring eye.
Obviously, Chen Junting had become interested in the remains of the two great Fire and Water Dragon Kings and wanted to use the ability of the Eye of Fate to peek at them.
Soon, the power of fate reached the golden pattern.
"This is Teacher's method…"
He murmured, but the power of fate continued to circulate, easily penetrating what Electrolux had left behind.
Shortly after, his gaze completely reached the bottom of the spring eye.
There, two massive corpses were sleeping deeply. The power they emitted was constantly resonating with the Ice and Fire Two Heavens Eye. As god-level existences, merely the energy after their death had created this treasure land of the Ice and Fire Two Heavens Eye, a place of heavenly creation.
The gaze of the Eye of Fate swept continuously, discovering that within the bodies of the two great Fire and Water Dragon Kings, there existed a Dragon Dan (Pill) respectively.
But unfortunately, these two Dragon Dans could not be taken, because like the corpses of the two great Dragon Kings, they formed the cornerstone of the Ice and Fire Two Heavens Eye, nurturing the earth veins that were still in their infancy.
However, although the Dragon Dans were out of reach, two other items did not pose an obstacle. For example, after a soul beast dies, there is a chance for a Spirit Bone to be born. Hundred-Thousand-Year soul beasts guarantee one, let alone god-level ones.
The Water Dragon King's Torso, the Fire Dragon King's Right Arm.
Compared to other dragon bones, these two places were special.
"Torso bone and right arm bone… Fortunately, I don't have them yet. It seems I'll have to leave these two positions empty for now."
Withdrawing his gaze, he closed the Eye of Fate.
Now, everything was prepared.
...
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Plaza.
A small tree emitting a breath of life was planted in a huge flower bed. Although this combination looked extremely discordant, the tree's divinity made people overlook this point.
At this moment, except for Ning Bowen, the Sect Master, all the elders and grand elders still within the sect who were not in closed-door cultivation, along with some sect disciples and others, gathered together in groups, watching Chen Junting's operations after planting the small tree.
At this moment, a Void Gate opened.
Gu Tianchen walked out from it and nodded to Chen Junting.
"The other tree has also been planted in the graveyard according to the orientation."
"Then let's begin."
In an instant, the Eye of Fate opened abruptly.
He waved his hand, a gray six-pointed star shone, and a door suddenly opened, emitting an indescribable aura.
At the same time, within the Undead Demiplane.
Electrolux raised his eyes slightly, "The time has come."
He pointed from afar, and two beams of golden light fell into two hills successively. The formation originally trapping the two dragon veins instantly collapsed. In the void, two dragon roars seemed to resound through the sky.
The next second, one red and one blue beam of light soared into the sky.
Then, as if receiving some kind of guidance, they flew toward the open gate in the sky, disappearing after plunging into it.
Seeing this, Electrolux's originally ethereal figure also turned into a ball of gray light, carrying a stream of air and following closely behind.
At this moment in the outside world, the array runes in Chen Junting's hand were continuously drawing in the void, emitting shimmering golden light.
"Roar—" ×2
Dragon roars sounded, and the two dragon veins broke out of the gate. Subsequently, the energy they contained continued to overflow, about to scatter into heaven and earth.
But Chen Junting did not give them a chance. With a grip of his large hand, the formation activated. Having prepared measures, he easily grasped the two dragon veins completely and then drove them underground.
Using his own soul power as a guide, he connected the array runes inscribed underground at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect when he just returned from the Ice and Fire Two Heavens Eye, combined with the two trees containing life and death planted at the graveyard and the plaza, setting up an Ice and Fire Two Heavens Sect-Protecting Great Formation.
The formation was complete, ice and fire converged, and wind and clouds surged.
Above the firmament, a huge vortex formed, spreading the produced dense heavenly and earthly vital energy along the ground.
"This is the power of the array Junting spoke of."
Ning Bowen looked at all this before him, his thoughts surging in his heart. If this sect-protecting great formation was like this, then what kind of power did the Heavenly Tribulation Array capable of blocking three Limit Douluos possess?
"Array Master?"
"This is vastly different from Soul Masters."
Several Elders also gazed at the sky. Zhi Yong couldn't help but let out a sigh, "The appearance of arrays is like the soul tools that appeared thousands of years ago; it will bring huge changes to the world, and it has already far exceeded the Soul Spirit system proposed earlier."
These words received agreement from everyone.
And if even the Grand Elders agreed so much, not to mention the other sect disciples. Ning Tian even lifted her chin, feeling pride and happiness from the bottom of her heart.
This was her man!
At the same time, beside Ning Tian, Wang Dong'er was also completely shocked by Chen Junting's move. Even putting aside her previous irritation, she shouted loudly, "Brother Junting, you're amazing!"
Once shouted, it directly ruined the atmosphere. Even upon seeing that it was a girl who shouted, it nearly caused quite a few people to faint!
But regardless, Chen Junting was not disturbed.
The continuous drawing of array runes caused the great formation to fully take shape. Underground in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the two dragon veins were completely locked, turning into immobile earth veins. Amidst the vibrations, they were covered by the formation's array runes, capable of absorbing external vital energy and also releasing it outward.
Endless and inexhaustible.
Ice and Fire Earth Veins, Life and Death Array Eyes. The four were one yin and one yang, with you in me and me in you, truly unmatched in strength.
This great formation had two forms under Chen Junting's arrangement.
The first form was to create the environment of the Ice and Fire Two Heavens Eye during normal times, but because of the two ancient trees, under the rotation of life and death, people would not be invaded by the power of ice and fire, allowing all soul masters to cultivate. Moreover, within a hundred-mile range of the formation's core, the heavenly and earthly essence was the densest and most suitable for cultivation.
The second form was for protecting the sect—ice and fire impact, life and death erosion. Even a Titled Douluo would tremble with fear. Once caught in the core position, an ordinary Titled Douluo would hardly survive.
Thus, the Sect-Protecting Great Formation was complete!
"Phew—"
Chen Junting let out a long sigh, his face slightly pale. Arranging a great formation covering the entire sect consumed quite a lot from him.
At this time, the gray gate in the sky had also closed.
A gray ball of light, difficult for ordinary people to detect, flew over, drilled into the back of Chen Junting's head, and returned to his Spiritual Sea.
Then, Electrolux's voice followed.
"Junting, your array skills can be said to have truly reached proficiency and almost touching the higher realms."
