Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 197 Success
Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The once beautiful and elegant courtyard has been completely transformed, riddled with holes, resembling a construction site. Even the few obstructing trees have been uprooted and thrown aside.

After countless trials and adjustments.

Chen Li finally tuned the Yin Yang Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array to the point where it was beyond modification, and its power was fully unleashed.

Most importantly, he finally gained some insights into formation and mastered various techniques, no longer just having a vague understanding as before.

pity……

Even so, the attribute panel still did not show the skills I hoped for.

Chen Li felt a little regretful, but he quickly came to terms with it. After all, this was just a formation technique, far from being a skill, let alone a mastery of the "Yin Yang Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array".

Even a Golden Core sect like the True Sect, which has been passed down for over six hundred years, only knows how to set up formations!
As for the structure of the formation and how the array artifacts were made, Chen Li could only occasionally glean some clues from between the lines of text.

To this end, Chen Li also briefly looked through books on weapon crafting.

After all, weapon crafting also requires the use of formations.

There are indeed quite a few inside.

He found the methods for crafting thirteen kinds of magical artifacts.

Ten of them are first-tier magic artifacts, and three are second-tier low-grade magic artifacts.

But it's a pity.

The formations inside are also fragmented and lack a coherent system.

It's like drawing a talisman.

Chen Li has learned so many talismans, many of which have reached the maximum level. His success rate in drawing talismans is 100%. You could say he could draw them with his eyes closed. But when it comes to how much he understands talismans, he still feels a bit vague. He has only a vague understanding and seems to have grasped some patterns, but he can't quite put his finger on it!

Fortunately, Chen Li didn't aspire to be a master of formations.

He just needs to know how to use it.

After the Yin-Yang Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array was running perfectly, Chen Li then began to explore the Azure Origin Misfortune Avoidance Array.

As a mid-grade second-tier Azure Origin Misfortune-Avoiding Array, this array possesses seven major functions: gathering spirits, creating a spring-like atmosphere, silencing, illusion, defense, attack, and warding off misfortune and bringing good fortune.

Regardless of whether this magic array truly lives up to its name of "avoiding misfortune and bringing good fortune."

Its defense alone is far stronger than the Yin Yang Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array.

If he hadn't been hiding nearby and hadn't taken advantage of Lin Qing opening the formation to slip into the formation and capture his opponent, but instead had fought head-on, even if Chen Li had a max-level True Fire Technique comparable to a second-tier eighth-level technique, it would have taken him quite a bit of effort.

In addition, this formation can also emit a beam of azure light under control, with power comparable to a strike from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, for Chen Li, this attack was better than nothing.

Because of her previous experience, Chen Lihua spent even less time this time, completing the Qingyuan Avoidance Formation perfectly in less than ten days.

From the outside, the entire magic array and the defensive array of Stanley City are compatible with each other, like a drop of water entering the sea, or like parasitic fusion, without any hindrance to each other, and operate in a harmonious and smooth manner.

Moreover, the energy is not visible at all, as if it is hidden!
If it weren't for the misty illusions surrounding the area, one would never have noticed that a magic array had been set up here.

"That's true. Compared to this super city-protecting array of unknown level, what is a mid-grade second-tier array? Would anyone notice a tiny glimmer of light under the blazing sun? As long as it can be perfectly integrated into the city-protecting array, it can naturally be hidden from view." Chen Li pondered to himself.

"Even Zhou Yuanpeng back then probably couldn't have reached this level with the same formation."

Chen Li felt pleased with himself and gained even more confidence in setting up the "Earth Bright Light Array".

"However, we can't test it in the yard this time; it's too noisy and too dangerous... I wonder if it would work underground?"

This was one of the considerations behind digging the underground shelters so deep in the first place.

Small-scale formations typically don't have a high coverage area.

The area covered by the magic circle is like an inverted dome, forming a hemispherical shape. A small magic circle covering an area of ​​a dozen acres will generally have a maximum height between forty and seventy meters, and will not exceed seventy meters.

The underground shelter covers an area of ​​over a thousand square meters and extends more than fifty meters underground.

To set up such a small formation.

The maximum height of the enclosure is only twenty-one meters.

It could not possibly extend outside under any circumstances. In addition, there was a barrier of rock layers up to thirty meters thick, as well as the cover and absorption of the Qingyuan Avoidance Formation outside. The magical fluctuations caused by the formation could be basically eliminated.

But this matter still needs to be considered carefully.

Chen Li thought it over and over again.

Repeatedly weigh the risks involved and the corresponding strategies.

In the end, I gritted my teeth and decided to give it a try.

Otherwise, it would be a huge waste to leave such a high-level formation in a storage bag to gather dust.

Even so, Chen Li did not take immediate action. Instead, he repeatedly studied the contents of "Detailed Explanation of the Wutu Bright Light Array," scrutinizing the details bit by bit, and frequently went to the basement to conduct on-site surveys and collect various data.

After pondering for five or six days, and having thoroughly memorized all the details and mentally rehearsed them countless times, Chen Licai finally prepared to take action.

The day before he took action, he spent the whole day out with his wives and concubines, and stayed overnight at an inn not far from his home.

……

late at night.

afterwards!

……

After being tormented several times, the two women finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Li quietly got up, put on his robes, changed his appearance, and then walked to the corner of the room, casting spells to release eight illusory bodies.

The phantoms left the inn one after another, with seven of them set up within five or six miles of their homes. Each of them used a technique to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, monitoring every move around them.

Firstly, it serves to check whether setting up the Earth Bright Light Array will break through multiple barriers and trigger strong magical fluctuations. Secondly, in case of danger, it will also generate warning signs to help avoid misfortune and provide sufficient time and options to deal with the situation calmly.

The other avatar, carrying a storage bag full of array artifacts, headed straight for the underground shelter in the house.

During this time, no one was alerted.

Everything happened without anyone knowing.

Thanks to thorough preparation, once Chen Li's illusory body had deployed all twenty-one array artifacts, and after only three minor adjustments, the array emitted a booming "hum," causing the entire earth to tremble. The array's central core shone with a brilliant yellow light, and then, with an overwhelming and invincible force, it suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire underground space.

The third-tier, mid-grade Earth Bright Light Array was successfully activated.

Chen Li then used other illusory bodies to observe from the outside.

As expected, there's absolutely nothing to tell!
Everything was perfectly concealed.

"It's done!" Chen Li thought with delight.

Although this formation is far from perfect and is still quite rough, all that's left is to slowly fine-tune it.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, sensing that the time limit for the illusion was almost up. He quickly canceled the illusion and looked at his sleeping wives and concubines. He wanted to do something more to celebrate, but in the end, he decided against it.

After all, there's plenty of time in the future!
