Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15797 Experiment
“Today we are conducting a probing attack. Everyone, please pay attention. This time, we are mainly testing the fire-avoidance formation invented by Zhang Hongliang to see how effective it is,” Zhong Wuya said, turning to the crowd.

Everyone nodded in agreement with Zhang Hongliang's words, especially the array masters, who were on high alert. They wanted to see if Zhang Hongliang's creation would work. If it did, they would be embarrassed. However, they also hoped that Zhang Hongliang's array would work, because only if it did would they have more time to observe the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Array. So, their feelings were quite complicated.

Soon, with a thought from Zhong Wuya, the giant skeleton opened its mouth again, and countless smaller skeletons flew out of the giant skeleton, rushing directly towards the direction of the Nine Yang Immortal Palace.

The same reaction occurred at the Nine Suns Immortal Palace. The sea of ​​fire appeared only when the skeletons entered the area within ten miles of the Nine Suns. The skeletons quickly reached the outer edge of the sea of ​​fire and then launched an attack on the fireballs. However, one of the skeletons directly burrowed into the sea of ​​fire. Everyone tensed up and stared intently at the sea of ​​fire.

Zhong Wuya stood there calmly. While the others didn't know the situation of the skeleton that had entered the sea of ​​fire, he did. He was connected to that skeleton. In the past, skeletons that entered the sea of ​​fire would lose contact with him shortly after entering, and he wouldn't know their condition. He had tried before, and the skeleton would lose contact with him within ten breaths at most. But this time, the skeleton that had entered the sea of ​​fire had maintained contact with him the whole time. He could clearly sense the skeleton's condition. The skeleton was now covered by a transparent shield, and although the flames in the sea of ​​fire were constantly attacking the skeleton, it was unaffected.

The skeleton didn't go far; instead, it stayed in one spot in the sea of ​​fire, not far from the edge. This was Zhong Wuya's order. Zhong Wuya was calculating the time, and just as the fifteenth minute was about to pass, he ordered the skeleton to leave the sea of ​​fire.

Everyone saw the skeleton emerge from the sea of ​​fire, and some of them couldn't help but gasp in surprise, followed by cheers.

A smile appeared on Zhong Wuya's face. He let the skeletons attack for a while, and then he had them retreat. As soon as the skeletons retreated, Zhong Wuya immediately retrieved the fire-avoiding formation.

However, when he saw the fire-avoidance formation, he found that it was now deformed and cracked, indicating that it was now useless.

Zhong Wuya looked at the fire-avoiding formation with some regret, then turned and waved to Zhang Hongliang. Zhang Hongliang was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Nong Gufeng, who nodded. Only then did Zhang Hongliang walk up to Zhong Wuya.

Zhong Wuya certainly saw Zhang Hongliang's actions. Instead of being angry, he breathed a sigh of relief because he knew very well that Zhang Hongliang's actions showed that he respected Nong Gufeng very much. Therefore, his identity was likely not a problem. Sometimes, it is the details that are most likely to reveal flaws.

Zhang Hongliang approached Zhong Wuya, bowed to him, and said, "Greetings, Elder Zhong."

Zhong Wuya nodded, then handed the fire-avoidance array to Zhang Hongliang and asked, "Can it be improved? Can its usage time be extended?"

Zhang Hongliang nodded and said, "Yes, but it will take time."

Zhong Wuya said in a deep voice, "What if we use better materials? That still won't make it last longer. But if we enlarge the magic array, wouldn't that make it last longer?"

Zhang Hongliang nodded and said, "Using better materials can certainly extend the lifespan of the magic array, but this would greatly increase the cost. This kind of magic array needs to be carried by everyone. We have a lot of people this time, and if we use high-grade materials, the cost would be too high, which is beyond our means. If we make the magic array bigger, we can certainly increase its range of influence and extend its lifespan, but then the transportation of the magic array would become a problem, and it would also be less flexible. Everyone would only be able to move around near the magic array, which would allow the enemy to concentrate their forces to deal with us, and we would not be able to set up a large formation. Of course, if we could really make this magic array as big as a magic weapon, its range of influence would be huge, but it would take a long time to make such a large magic array. After all, making a large magic array is not as simple as just making the array symbols inside the array bigger; there are many intricacies involved. Therefore, making a large magic array would take a long time, which is far less cost-effective than using a small magic array."

Hearing Zhang Hongliang's words, Zhong Wuya frowned and said, "Making a small magic array bigger is just enlarging the array talisman, isn't it? Why can't it work?"

Zhang Hongliang shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Some array symbols, when they are small, release energy containing a certain amount of interference energy. Because the array symbols are small, the interference energy is also small, so it won't have a big impact on the array. But once the array symbols are enlarged, the interference energy also increases. This interference energy will conflict with other energies in the array. At that time, the entire array will fall into an energy conflict. At best, it will affect the power of the array; at worst, it may make the array unusable, or even self-destruct. Therefore, building a large array is not simply a matter of enlarging a small array. There are too many things to calculate." Zhong Wuya frowned, then turned to look at the other array masters and said in a deep voice, "Is that so?" All the array masters nodded, and one of them even said, "That's right. So the number of large arrays we use now is only so many, far fewer than the number of small arrays. It's because of this that energy conflicts occur not only when small arrays are enlarged, but also when large arrays are reduced in size."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wuya nodded and said, "I see, I understand." Then he turned to Zhang Hongliang and said, "It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to see if they have another way to amplify this magic array." Zhang Hongliang nodded in response, showing no displeasure.

Zhong Wuya looked at Zhang Hongliang and said, "How long will it take to improve this magic array? I want to make this magic array last longer."

Zhang Hongliang said in a deep voice, "This requires a lot of time to test. If Elder Zhong agrees, please ask all the array masters to help me. If we test together, it may take less time."

Zhong Wuya immediately turned to look at the array masters, then at the elders of the other sects, and said, "Everyone, you have all heard what Zhang Hongliang said. In order to conquer the Nine Yang Immortal Palace as soon as possible, I would like to ask for your consent to put all the array masters of the various sects under Zhang Hongliang's command. What do you all think?"

Without a second thought, the elders of those sects all nodded in agreement. For them, conquering the Nine Yang Immortal Palace was the most important thing. Letting the formation masters temporarily follow Zhang Hongliang's command was no problem at all.

Zhong Wuya nodded, then turned to look at the array masters and said, "You all heard what we just said. Everyone, I hope you will listen to Zhang Hongliang and work together to improve this array as soon as possible. Ideally, you should be able to break the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Array. If you can do this, then after we destroy the Nine Suns Immortal Palace, I will definitely ask the various sects to give you the greatest credit. What do you all think?"

The formation master was actually quite simple. They couldn't disagree; their sect's supreme elder had agreed, so how could they disagree? If they dared to disagree, they would be disrespecting their supreme elder, and they would certainly suffer the consequences.

Zhong Wuya was giving them face by saying this, so they couldn't refuse him and agreed immediately.

When Zhong Wuya saw that they all agreed, he turned to Zhang Hongliang and said, "There are a few larger rooms in my formation. You can move there. Just tell me what you need. I only have one requirement: improve the fire-avoidance formation as soon as possible. Also, you must come out and observe during the daily attacks. It would be best if you could come up with a way to break the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation. What do you think? Any questions?"

Zhang Hongliang immediately shook his head and said, "No problem, but we need to increase our attack power."

Zhong Wuya said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Zhang Hongliang nodded and didn't say anything more.

Zhong Wuya turned to look at everyone and then said, "I will copy the array diagram in a moment and send a copy of each one back to your sects. Have your sects help refine a batch of fire-avoiding arrays. Once these fire-avoiding arrays arrive, we will organize a large-scale attack. At that time, the range of the sea of ​​fire at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace may expand. Once the scale of their sea of ​​fire expands, our people will immediately withdraw. This way, we will not only force out the power of their sea of ​​fire, but we will also not suffer too many losses. Does everyone agree?"

They all understood Zhong Wuya's plan. Zhong Wuya's plan was very simple: each sect would create a batch of fire-avoiding formations, and then the disciples of each sect here would all carry these fire-avoiding formations to launch a large-scale attack on the Nine Yang Immortal Palace. The Nine Yang Immortal Palace had been keeping a secret, but once they saw them send people out to attack, the Nine Yang Immortal Palace would definitely increase the intensity of the Nine Yang Burning Heaven Formation, trying to kill everyone. However, since those people carried fire-avoiding formations, they would have time to escape from the Nine Yang Burning Heaven Formation. In this way, not only would they escape, but they would also force out the true power of the Nine Yang Burning Heaven Formation. This was indeed a good method, so everyone nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Zhong Wuliang said, "Alright, it's decided then."
