Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15885 Talent
"Elder Zhen, that magic artifact is making a move." Ding Chunming said suddenly while looking at the projection.

Elder Zhen nodded and said, "I see. In all these days, only that magic artifact has remained unmoved. Their defenses are very good. They haven't moved at all in order to conserve their strength. He's a smart man. Let's see what he does next."

What Elder Zhen was referring to was, of course, Zhuge Qingsong's magical artifact. He had been paying close attention to Zhuge Qingsong's artifact these past few days. It could be said that Zhuge Qingsong had done the best; he hadn't moved it recklessly but had been focusing all his efforts on defense. In Elder Zhen's view, this was the best choice. Of course, Zhuge Qingsong's choice could only be considered average, because although he hadn't moved it, he hadn't tried to break the formation either. In Elder Zhen's view, this was unacceptable. They knew they were inside a formation, yet they didn't try to break it; this was indeed very unacceptable.

However, Elder Zhen was unaware that he was using the Blood Slaughter Sect's mindset to judge Zhuge Qingsong. In fact, Zhuge Qingsong's inaction was also a strategy. He felt that such a large formation consumed unimaginable amounts of energy every day, and no force could withstand such a huge consumption. Therefore, he had been waiting for the formation's energy to run out. However, several days had passed, and the formation's energy showed no signs of running out, remaining as stable as ever. Only then did Zhuge Qingsong have no choice but to take the next step.

Just then, Elder Zhen saw some people fly out of the magic artifact. These people split into several teams and came to the four directions of the magic artifact. Then they began to attack the surroundings. They didn't have any specific target; they just kept attacking in one direction.

Upon seeing this, Elder Zhen immediately understood what they were trying to do. He raised an eyebrow and then said, "We've met an expert."

Ding Chunming was taken aback by Zhuge Qingsong and the others' actions, and then asked, "Is this a test?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Not only that, they keep attacking in all directions, trying to cause energy fluctuations in the array, or even a counterattack. As long as the array moves, they can observe the movement of the array, find its flaws, and break it. It seems that the commander of this magic artifact is an expert who has studied arrays very well. This is quite interesting."

Upon hearing Elder Zhen's words, Ding Chunming was taken aback. He immediately asked, "What should we do if they really do that?"

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Don't they want to see a flaw? That's easy, we'll just give them one. But this flaw is the one we want them to see, but we can't let them see it yet. I want to see just how much this guy understands about formations."

Upon hearing Elder Zhen's words, Ding Chunming knew that Elder Zhen had become interested. It seemed that Elder Zhen greatly admired the commander of this magic weapon. Moreover, it seemed that even if the commander of this magic weapon joined the Blood Slaughter Sect in the future, he would also enter the Divine Mechanism Hall.

Meanwhile, Zhuge Qingsong was watching the situation outside through the projection. As those people attacked, there were indeed some energy fluctuations around them. Suddenly, countless wisps of mist appeared all around, gradually enveloping them completely, to the point where they could hardly see anyone on the other side.

The other kingdom-level experts all turned pale upon seeing this situation. In their view, with such thick fog, nothing could be seen at all, so it seemed their plan was doomed.

However, Zhuge Qingsong laughed and said, "There's a reaction! That's great! With this thick fog, it's actually easier to see the energy fluctuations here. Gentlemen, I'm going out to take a look. You wait here." After saying that, he immediately ordered someone to open the hatch, and then he flew out of the large magical artifact.

Zhuge Qingsong is a member of the Fire God Sect, and their large magical artifact is quite unique. Their large magical artifact is actually a fire ship. That's right, their large magical artifact is shaped like a ship, and this ship is constantly burning with a great fire. It is a real fire ship.

There were no other small magical artifacts around their fire ship, only this one. After Zhuge Qingsong flew out of the fire ship, he only glanced around. The fire on the fire ship was quite aggressive, but Zhuge Qingsong was not afraid, because this kind of fire was a divine fire created by their Fire God Sect. He could recognize it as his master. It had almost no killing power against the disciples of the Fire God Sect, because this kind of fire complemented the Fire God Sect's techniques. A great fire that was deadly to others had no killing power against the disciples of the Fire God Sect, so he was not afraid of the great fire.

After he came out, he landed directly on the top of the ship. He then carefully looked at the fog around him. The fog was neither white nor black, but a variety of colors. The fog was churning and rolling, creating a spectacular scene.

Zhuge Qingsong kept his eyes fixed on the mist, a jade slip appearing in his hand. He would occasionally input something into the slip, watching intently. A short while passed; the first wave of attackers retreated, and the second wave followed. Their attacks never ceased, and Zhuge Qingsong remained standing there.

On the other side, Elder Zhen was also watching the projection. His gaze was fixed on Zhuge Qingsong, and he had a smile on his face. Ding Chunming looked at Elder Zhen and couldn't help but smile and say, "Elder Zhen, it seems you admire him very much."

Elder Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, his talent seems to be quite good, especially in the field of magic arrays. The fact that he can reach the Kingdom level while researching magic arrays shows that his talent in cultivation is also very good. I suggest that such a person should be immediately placed in the Divine Mechanism Hall once he joins our sect. His future achievements will definitely not be worse than Hong Liang's."

Upon hearing Elder Zhen's words, Ding Chunming was quite surprised. Zhang Hongliang's talent in array formations was already very strong, but Elder Zhen said that this person's talent in array formations was no less than Zhang Hongliang's, which greatly surprised him.

The old man continued, "I deliberately left a flaw in this formation, but it's not something an ordinary person can discover. If he can find it within three days, he can enter the Divine Mechanism Hall. If he finds it within two days, his achievements there will be no less than those of the elders. If he finds it within one day, his talent will be no less than Hongliang's. Judging from his appearance just now, he should be able to find the flaw very soon. Did you notice that his gaze fell on the same spot several times? That's where I left the flaw. This means he's already noticed it. Give him some more time, and he will definitely find the flaw, but it shouldn't be too fast. He should find it after ten hours. If he can find the flaw within ten hours, his achievements might even surpass Hongliang's."

Upon hearing Elder Zhen's words, Ding Chunming was truly stunned. He quickly said, "Is his talent really that good? Should we let him go and see if we can get him to surrender? If he can surrender, that would be the best outcome. If he doesn't surrender, we can just turn him into an undead."

The old man laughed and said, "Of course, but someone as smart as him should surrender. He doesn't look very old, so he probably doesn't want to die, because he still has plenty of time to live."

Ding Chunming nodded and said nothing more. Then they kept watching Zhuge Qingsong, who was still doing calculations. Sweat was beading on his forehead, which slowly turned into white mist, seemingly blending into the surrounding fog.

Zhuge Qingsong stood on the boat for eleven hours, his brain constantly engaged in intense calculations. Finally, after eleven hours, he let out a long breath, put away the jade slip, and returned directly to his magic artifact. As soon as he was back inside, he said, "Have all the disciples return. There's no need to attack anymore. I'm going to rest for a bit. Once I'm out, we'll break the formation."

Everyone was stunned when they heard him say that, but then they all became excited and immediately responded. Zhuge Qingsong then went to rest, and his steps were a little unsteady as he walked back to his residence, which showed that he had indeed given his all in this calculation.

The others immediately called all the disciples back, and they resumed their defenses. The surroundings gradually returned to calm, and even the mist disappeared.

Elder Zhen also saw this situation, and a smile appeared on his face. Just as I guessed, his talent was similar to Hong Liang's. Unfortunately, he had only learned about planar arrays and had no concept of three-dimensional arrays. Even if he joined the Divine Mechanism Hall, he would still have to study for a period of time before he could truly keep up with the progress of the Divine Mechanism Hall. After all, the things that the Divine Mechanism Hall was now researching were already very advanced.

Five more hours passed before Zhuge Qingsong emerged from his room. He had fully recovered and even seemed to be in high spirits. He was clearly very happy because he felt he had found the weakness in the magic array and could break it soon. Once he broke the array, they could get out, which was extremely important for them.

Zhuge Qingsong arrived at the command hall and glanced around. There was still a kingdom-level expert in charge here. Zhuge Qingsong was quite satisfied with this. He hadn't arranged for a kingdom-level expert to be in charge here before, but they had done so on their own initiative. This meant that they were still very united, which was very important to them.

Zhuge Qingsong said in a deep voice, "Pass on my order. Everyone, get ready. Wait for my command in a moment. Everyone, input energy into the magic artifact together. The more energy you input, the better. We must break this magic array today. We only have one chance. If we fail, we may really never be able to get out. Do you all understand?"

Everyone around responded, and Zhuge Qingsong began to adjust the angle of the fireboat, while the others waited anxiously.
