Chapter 2212: Quick Burial and Construction

It took one day longer than normal to return to Soul-Breaking Ridge.

After four days of flying, Zhenyuan Shenjun and Zhang Xuezhou finally carried the Empress Dowager to Broken Soul Ridge.

"Are we just going to bury the Empress Dowager like this?"

On the cloud sedan, the Empress Dowager was covered in a jade robe with gold threads and jade, and there was no breath from her nostrils.

But the Empress Dowager still had some life left and did not fall into complete death.

Zhang Xuezhou had no taboo about burying the dead, but he always felt weird about burying the Empress Dowager before she was fully dead.

"A borrowed life is not a fortune-teller." Zhen Yuan Shenjun was silent for a moment and said, "She is no different from being dead now. Burying her early is burying her, and burying her later is burying her!"

"Then can our Wanshou Fruit Tree withstand the evil spirit from her?"

"Feces and urine are what plants and trees like, but the Wanshou Fruit Tree has an even stronger taste. I'm afraid it won't be able to wait for it to be happy!"

Zhang Xuezhou asked again, and Zhenyuan God shrugged, indicating that the illness of the Empress Dowager was just a pile of fertilizer for the longevity fruit tree.

Sealed and protected by the golden jade burial suit, the Empress Dowager's body was still intact after being drained and eaten.

"Should I ask?" Zhang Xuezhou asked, feeling something was wrong.

"It would be even more cruel to ask Daoist Dou this kind of question after he wakes him up!"

Zhenyuan God sighed, then reached out and grabbed the longevity fruit tree.

Without waiting for the roots of the longevity fruit tree to extend and grab, he directly dug a hole for the longevity fruit tree and fanned the Empress Dowager on the cloud sedan into it.

By the time her sleeves were patched up, the Empress Dowager had already been buried in the charred soil of Wantao Garden.

"It will take some time for the Wanshou Fruit Tree to drain her dry, so let's not just wait here. Fellow Daoist Dou gave me a batch of array stones and array tools, and also gave me the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams array. You are familiar with array techniques, so help me figure out how to set up the array!"

Zhenyuan God spread out his sleeves again, and a pile of formation stones and hexagram stones rolled down from his sleeves.

These array stones and hexagram stones have different colors and sizes, some are as big as a human head, some are as small as a goose egg, and there are also array pieces such as gold threads, bells, flying blades, wooden stakes, copper coins, and gold objects.

"The Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation involves 72 formation stones, 144 trigram stones, and 64 formation components. This formation is complex and mottled. It can confuse the opponent, generate the power of the formation to strike, and conceal the figure of the master of the formation. It also has the ability to provide warning!"

Zhenyuan Shenjun was extremely satisfied with the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation, which almost met all his needs.

He continued to earn money by attending aristocratic banquets in Chang'an City, but after half a month he only had three hexagram stones and also got a formation piece. These formation materials were of medium to upper quality.

But he complied with the Empress Dowager's request, and every item he obtained was a fine product.

This is a set of items that Zhenyuan Shenjun has been unable to collect even after decades of looting, and it is also a set that Daojun cannot possibly lend out.

This is not to say that the Taoist Master is reluctant, but that the Taoist Master does not have such foundation. In fact, the protective formation of the Yide River Holy Land where the Taoist Master is located is probably not as good as the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation.

"This formation is wonderful, especially the formation diagram is very detailed. We only need to study it and then adapt it to set up the formation," Zhang Xuezhou praised.

The formations that Zhen Yuan Shen Jun was familiar with were theoretical and had never been actually deployed. The Kunlun Holy Land also did not provide him with an area to deploy formations.

But Zhenyuan Shenjun also asked the wrong person for advice. Zhang Xuezhou has been practicing formations for so many years but is just a big talker. He has never done any real work except causing trouble.

At this time, construction is needed, and both of them are only full of theories, and their practical levels are almost the same.

But in this desolate mountain area, Zhenyuan Shenjun has no one else to rely on.

Regardless of whether the design succeeds or fails, he needs to start pushing it forward.

He invited Zhang Xuezhou, and Zhang Xuezhou put aside his worries and was eager to try, thinking that he finally had the opportunity to show his talent in formation.

"Let's measure the size of this secret place and determine the east, south, west, north and core of the secret place. First, determine the center of the formation and then calculate the other seventy-one places!"

"The core of this secret place should be where the longevity fruit tree landed!"

"Then let's put a Shouyang stone in there first!" "Now that the Nine Palaces main position has been decided, we have to find the Bagua main position!"

……

The formation draws on the power of mountains and rivers. It sounds grand, but its arrangement is not much different from pulling electrical wires.

If the array stone is regarded as a source of energy connected to electricity, the hexagram stone is a switch, and the array components are the various instruments and equipment that utilize electricity.

Once things started, Zhang Xuezhou did not hold back when helping out, and his actions were so drastic that even Zhenyuan Shenjun felt it was outrageous.

Zhenyuan Shenjun has always believed that setting up an array is something that requires caution, but Zhang Xuezhou's steps are really rough and fast, and he has already determined the result before he can think about it carefully and confirm it.

He finally concluded that it was because of his bad character, he was too worried about gains and losses, and his formation level was inferior to Zhang Xuezhou's, which led to this situation where he was not as skilled as others.

After changing his mindset, Zhen Yuan Shen Jun also let go and focused on cooperation.

"It took Kunlun Holy Land ten years to set up the Hunyuan Wuji Formation. I didn't expect that it only took us ten hours to set up the Jiugong Bagua Formation!"

This secret place is called the Soul-Breaking Ridge. Not only is it named because a great monk died here, but this secret place also only has a mountain range.

Seventy-two formation stones and one hundred and forty-four hexagram stones were driven into the Soul-Breaking Ridge. Lord Zhenyuan felt that the speed of setting up the formation was extremely fast, which made him couldn't help but sigh.

"The Kunlun Holy Land is large, and there are many secret places connected to it, involving complex mountains and rivers. The Broken Soul Ridge is just a mountain, so it is much simpler to set up." Zhang Xuezhou said: "I originally thought that the foundation of this Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation could be completed in one or two hours according to the diagram, but I didn't expect it to take a whole day and night!"

Zhenyuan Shenjun felt that the time to set up the formation was too short, while Zhang Xuezhou felt that it was too long.

The two looked at each other, and Zhenyuan Shenjun stretched out his hand and pinched again, only to feel a slight sense of control over the many hexagram stones that he had refined.

If you want to make the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation work, you obviously need to practice continuously to be able to send and receive freely from your heart.

However, this sense of control and operability also proves that there is no problem in the arrangement of the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation, and it has indeed been successful from a technical point of view.

Next, just place the corresponding array equipment in the corresponding area to complete the creation of the corresponding array power.

"The components of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation are suitable for entanglement with buildings. I still need to carry out some repairs on the ground here so that this formation can fully exert its effect," said Zhenyuan Shenjun.

"Let's build a shed first," Zhang Xuezhou said, "it will be good enough if we can hide the Wanshou fruit tree!"

Small formations can be set up relying on mountains and rivers, and their power can be exerted by cleverly utilizing the natural environment.

A large formation requires the involvement of human forces. The stronger the power and the more complex the functions, the more construction is required.

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the empty mountains, and then looked into the distance where there was no trace of human beings. He felt that if Zhenyuan Shenjun wanted to perfectly use this large formation, he would inevitably have to do the hard work of building it.

"Isn't it too simple to build a shed?" Zhenyuan Divine Lord said, "I want to build it along the mountain to form nine palaces and eight courtyards. Each palace and each courtyard can bring different powers. If they are combined, they can play 72 different magical effects!"

"There are no people and no building materials in this kind of place. Everything needed to be built either needs to be provided by ourselves or transported from far away. Wouldn't it take decades to build it back and forth?" Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Decades of construction have paid off in exchange for a perfect, top-level formation. I think it's worth it!"

"Makes sense!"

Zhang Xuezhou responded briefly.

For Zhang Xuezhou, he never thinks about what will happen decades later.

Decades later, they may no longer exist, so no matter how big, beautiful, or useful the building is, it will not be of any use.

Seeing Zhenyuan God Lord imagining the future with great interest and conducting spell tests, Zhang Xuezhou did not delay to interrupt him.

He opened his eyes and looked down the mountain, wanting to catch some rabbits to fill his stomach, when he heard a painful sound coming from the ground behind him.

Zhang Xuezhou just turned around to look at the longevity fruit tree when he heard a clear cry and a huge bird with flames all over its body spread its wings and took off.

Darkness emerged, and the world before his eyes had changed.
