Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1429 The Great Array Successfully Upgraded
Since the spiritual veins of White Wolf Mountain are currently only of the seventh-grade upper level, the spiritual energy they contain is far from sufficient to support the immense energy required for the operation of the ninth-grade mountain-protecting formation.

Therefore, the most crucial step in successfully upgrading the mountain-protecting formation is to raise the grade of the White Wolf Mountain spiritual vein to the ninth level. If this step is not achieved, all subsequent plans will be nothing but empty talk.

To overcome this core challenge, Liu Changxu specially gathered all the array masters in the family with cultivation levels of the fifth rank or above, totaling more than thirty people, to come together and pool their wisdom to work together to tackle the problem.

Because this matter concerned the life and death of the entire family, no one dared to be negligent in the slightest. They were exceptionally enthusiastic during the discussion, and one ingenious idea after another emerged.

Among them, a proposal from a sixth-order array master named Liu Jidong gave Liu Changxu a sudden inspiration.

Liu Jidong is a descendant of the eldest son Liu Han. As he watched this young man clearly articulate his ideas, Liu Changxu couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. In recent years, he had been busy with important matters of the clan and dealing with external enemies, and had neglected to carefully cultivate the younger generation of the clan. He never expected that such a insightful young talent had quietly emerged in the clan.

Following Liu Jidong's suggestion, the most urgent task is to set up nine top-grade eighth-rank spirit-gathering arrays around the main peak of White Wolf Mountain, arranged in a nine-square grid. By using the combined power of these nine arrays, the source of the spiritual vein can be nurtured and strengthened, gradually raising its grade to top-grade eighth rank.

Once the spiritual vein's grade has stabilized at the eighth-grade top level, then using these nine eighth-grade top-quality spirit-gathering arrays as a foundation, nesting them layer by layer, a ninth-grade spirit-gathering array will be laid out to cover the entire mountain. By using the power of the array, the grade of the spiritual vein will be completely elevated, reaching the ninth-grade level.

"Nourish the pulse with the formation, and promote the formation with the pulse..."

After listening to Liu Jidong's suggestion, Liu Changxu's eyes flashed with approval, and he continued:

"Ji Dong's idea is indeed prudent and feasible. It avoids the risk of collapse that might result from forcibly elevating the spiritual vein, and allows the formation and the spiritual vein to complement each other, proceeding step by step."

The other Liu family formation masters nodded in agreement after hearing Liu Jidong's suggestion.

Another person added a suggestion:

"The foundation of the nine eighth-grade top-quality spirit gathering arrays needs to be constructed using two ninth-grade spiritual materials, namely the Profound Yin Stone and the Crimson Yang Jade, which are extremely Yin and extremely Yang respectively. Only in this way can the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with the two attributes of Yin and Yang be balanced to avoid damaging the source of the spiritual veins."

As the discussion deepened, the initially vague ideas gradually became clearer, and the group quickly devised a specific plan to upgrade the formation, which greatly satisfied Liu Changxu.

After developing a detailed plan for upgrading the mountain-protecting formation, Liu Changxu ordered the upgrade to begin.

As a result, all weapon refiners and array masters of the fifth rank and above in the entire Liu family and even the Great Han Immortal Dynasty were mobilized to devote themselves to the crafting of array plates, array flags and other array-setting tools.

As the family's only ninth-tier array master and weapon refiner, Liu Changxu once again entered the weapon refining hall to carry out the refining of ninth-tier array flags and array plates, as well as some eighth-tier array flags and array plates.

Just as Liu Changxu was engrossed in his work in the weapon-refining hall, another storm arose on Taibai Star.

After a period of silence, the troll army reappeared, leaving devastation and bloodshed in its wake. This time, however, their iron hooves did not trespass into human territory, but instead brazenly invaded the demon race's lands.

Led by the five Demon Emperors, the troll army swept across the mountains and forests inhabited by the demon race like dark clouds, slaughtering countless demons and ultimately becoming their prey. Vast swathes of once vibrant demon lands were transformed into a living hell.

When the news reached Liu Changxu, he temporarily put down his work and secretly considered how to deal with it.

The trolls marched into the demon realm, slaughtering other demons. At first glance, things seemed peaceful between them and the human territory. However, Liu Changxu was well aware of the hidden dangers. If the trolls were allowed to plunder enough blood and flesh in the demon realm and grow stronger through slaughter, their fangs would inevitably turn towards the humans. At that time, the troll army, now stronger, would once again become a major threat to the human race.

However, judging from the messages from the other Holy Emperors of the human race, they clearly had no intention of intervening at this moment. Liu Changxu could understand this; when the Kunlun Holy Land was besieged by the Giant Demon Clan, the human race paid a heavy price to seek the help of the demon race.

Now that the demon race is trapped, the human race is naturally unwilling to rush to their aid regardless of the cost. After all, each race has its own defenses to protect, and no one is willing to sacrifice themselves for another race in vain.

"Everyone understands the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,' but to actually take out all our savings to fill the gap..."

Liu Changxu muttered to himself, raised his hand to rub his temples, and finally could only shake his head helplessly.

Next, Liu Changxu continued the work of refining array-setting tools.

For Liu Changxu, the only way to cope with all uncertainties is to seize the time to improve his own and his family's strength. As for the chaos in the Demon Realm, perhaps the only option is to let it develop on its own for now and then seek a better opportunity to deal with it later.

Therefore, Liu Changxu devoted all his energy to upgrading the mountain-protecting formation, urging it day and night without daring to slack off in the slightest, hoping to complete the upgrade before he could launch his campaign against the trolls.

Time flies, and soon it was March 18th, 805 of the Great Han Dynasty. After several years of hard work, the upgrade of the White Wolf Mountain protective formation was finally completed.

The moment Liu Changxu personally activated the array's control panel, a deep hum resounded throughout the world, as if an ancient behemoth had been awakened from its slumber.

Immediately afterwards, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of billions of miles around White Wolf Mountain seemed to be summoned by an invisible force, and rushed towards this place like a surging river.

Before long, the entire White Wolf Mountain was completely enveloped by the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The spiritual herbs and trees on the mountain stretched their leaves under the rich spiritual energy, making a soft "rustling" sound.

Just then, a colorful, transparent light curtain slowly rose from the foot of the mountain. It was as clear as glass and as heavy as a rock. It spread upwards along the mountain and eventually completely covered the entire Liu family territory. The runes flowing on the surface of the light curtain flickered and emitted a reassuring pressure.

As the grand formation activated, countless cultivators from the Liu family looked up in awe and excitement. With the ninth-order mountain-protecting formation, not only was their safety more assured, but it also greatly benefited their cultivation. Cheers resounded through the sky.

Seeing that the mountain-protecting formation had been successfully activated, Liu Changxu breathed a sigh of relief. With the protection of the ninth-order mountain-protecting formation, he could finally relax and focus on improving his and his family's cultivation level, or go and eliminate the powerful giant demons.
