“Indeed,” Chen Xiaojun said with a faint smile, “It is indeed the Heart of the Divine Tree. This thing embodies yin and yang, and is full of vitality. Its power of containment and transformation is unparalleled in the world. When Second Uncle was designing this Qi-absorbing formation, he chose it as the only choice for the main core of the formation.”

"Only it can bear and harmonize such complex and violent negative energy, transforming it into pure forces such as 'sharpness,' 'blood energy,' 'destruction,' and 'yin energy' that can be used by various parties."

He closed the jade box, and the refreshing aura immediately subsided: "As for the cores of the nine array eyes, the requirements are relatively lower."

"High-grade soul crystals containing negative attributes, special Yin Sha gems, or even the remains of weapons and armor tainted with strong Yin energy can be used to refine alternatives. Of course, the higher the quality, the better the efficiency and stability of absorbing Yin energy."

Finally, Chen Xiaojun added: "In addition, if there is a Soul Master who has cultivated the corresponding technique at the core of the formation, such as our Chen family disciples using the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul as the guiding core and actively running the mental technique, the strength and range of the node to absorb specific negative energy (such as killing energy and evil energy) can be greatly enhanced."

"Similarly, the Karmic Fire Demon Blade, the Seven Deadly Bows, and the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix can also be used in this way, which is equivalent to adding a powerful 'amplifier' to the core of the formation."

“The other part, the complex resentment that is difficult to purify, the remaining violent will…” His eyes turned slightly cold, “so I will use it as a barrier of ‘thorns’. I will absorb and purify the remaining dregs of evil energy, mix them with the already rich Yin energy of the earth veins here, and re-weave them into the defensive walls, underground passages, and warning traps of the rebuilt castle.”

He looked around at everyone, revealing his white teeth: "In this way, the intruder, without being physically attacked, will have his soul eroded by invisible pressure, making him restless and his will wavering."

"It can also be used for large-scale overturning attacks, and can even trigger the 'bane-infused thorn wall' that covers the fortress, forming a mental storm impact. This is called 'turning poison into a blade, and transforming evil into defense'."

Qin Luguang couldn't help but let out a low shout, then chuckled, "This method is ruthless! Ingenious! Not only does it utilize resources, it also adds another layer of invisible armor to our fortress! Excellent!"

Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly, then changed the subject: "Furthermore, elders, think about it carefully. When we absorb all the filth that has accumulated in this mountain fortress for a hundred years, this place will be cleansed, the biting cold will be greatly reduced, and the resentment will dissipate. For our personnel who have lived and worked here for a long time, won't they be healthier, have smoother soul power circulation, and be more at peace?"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Ma Zhibin and the others: "As for those regular visitors to the dungeon—mercenaries, outlaws, thugs who live on the edge, and other low-level Soul Masters, as well as thrill-seeking tourists… they all have more or less accumulated malevolent energy and resentment within them that are difficult to dispel."

"If they come to this mountain fortress and can use the magic array to subtly absorb and dissolve some of the excess evil energy, making them feel comfortable and refreshed... do you all think they would linger and not want to leave? Would they come back again and again?"

Ma Zhibin slammed his hand on the table, making the teacups clatter. His face was filled with the excited realization of something new. Pointing at the blueprints in Chen Xiaojun's hand, he exclaimed, "Good lad! One link after another! This magic array is a treasure trove! It can be used for cultivation, defense, and even as a 'sanatorium' to attract customers! Wait a minute..."

He seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked Chen Xiaojun up and down suspiciously: "Xiaojun, you brought such detailed schematic diagrams today, could it be... that you've been preparing all along, just waiting to take down Ironjaw Fortress so you can install this precious magic array? The timing is just too perfect!" Chen Xiaojun's face was both helpless and frank. He gently shook his head: "Uncle Zhibin, you're overthinking it. I took these diagrams and studied them myself. This is my second uncle's painstaking work. Its conception is ingenious, and its deduction is difficult. It's not something that can be accomplished overnight, yet it was completed a month ago."

"The fact that it could be produced at this time and place is less a premeditated plan and more a coincidence of favorable timing, location, and people. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a schematic diagram, but a formal blueprint. However, we did have this idea when we were planning to take over Huagai District."

His eyes were clear: "The conquest of Ironjaw Fortress was the result of the bloody battles fought by our elders; the massive negative energy accumulated here is the legacy of the sins committed by the Bone Digging Gang over the past century; and we happen to have the solution, as well as the key resources for constructing the magic array—the mithril mine and the Heart of the Divine Tree."

"All of this is the path that fate has paved for our four-family alliance, allowing us to turn Second Uncle's ingenious ideas into reality at this moment, benefiting ourselves and laying the foundation for the mountain fortress."

Chen Xiaojun's detailed explanation clearly presented the grand blueprint, core principles, implementation path, and multiple benefits of the Absorbing Evil Formation to everyone.

This idea combines cultivation assistance, defense enhancement, environmental purification, and economic attraction with previous plans to form a unique and efficient cyclical system, which is highly innovative and even somewhat unorthodox.

As Chen Xiaojun finished speaking, the council hall fell into an even longer silence.

The expressions on everyone's faces were varied and fascinating. Chen Zhang's eyes shone brightly, revealing shock and admiration; Zhu Yanfeng and Qin Luguang frowned, clearly digesting this ruthless, meticulous, and imaginative plan; Xia Yun seemed to be deep in thought, as if pondering the impact of the "Haunting Thorn Wall" on the spiritual level.

Even seasoned individuals like Simon Wenye and Yang Zhicheng were shaken by this highly innovative thinking that combined pragmatism and transcendent abilities to the extreme.

This is not just a magic array, but a world-shaking scheme that can completely change the future cultivation landscape of the four families and lay the foundation for Ironjaw Fortress!
Its potential value and far-reaching impact even exceed the sum of all the mineral deposits, black market channels and industrial plans discussed earlier!

Today, Chen Xiaojun appears calm and composed, but beneath this calm, his surging thoughts are like a purgatory furnace, coldly refining order and power, turning all unfavorable factors into steps to strength.

This mindset, this vision, is truly inspiring.

Chen Zhang took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming. He looked around and said in a deep voice, "Good! The Soul-Absorbing Array is the cornerstone of our four-family alliance's rise! From this moment on, let's mobilize the strength of all four families and spare no expense to prioritize the construction of this array!"

“Send an urgent message to my second uncle in Chang’an, informing him of everything and obtaining the official blueprints. Uncle Lü Guang will be in full charge of site surveying and preliminary preparations. Brother He Zhi, recruit all the necessary personnel, including top craftsmen, array masters, and soul masters. Once the blueprints are in hand, disassemble and quantify them all.”

"Yes, sir!" Qin Luguang and Jian Hezhi clasped their hands in greeting at the same time.
