Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 217 Killing the Enemy Thousands of Miles Away
In the Zichen Palace, Zhou Qing recounted the results of his trip to the Changsheng Sect to the elders in detail once again.

In conclusion, he said, "Overall, the results are gratifying. The connections between our eight sects are becoming closer, which is of great benefit to all of us."

"The most urgent task now is to establish a new long-distance communication system. I have discussed this with other array masters and the new long-distance communication system will require about 30,000 relay stations, with each sect responsible for 4,000 stations."

"Each relay station requires about twenty high-grade spirit stones, so four thousand stations would require at least eighty thousand high-grade spirit stones."

"This is a huge expense, and we hope the sect can provide support. Of course, a large part of it can be offset by dismantling the old long-distance communication system, so the final cost should be far less than that."

The sect leader nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I will personally hand over the reins of this matter."

With the sect leader's assurance, Zhou Qing felt relieved.

He immediately returned to the Array Academy and summoned the two array masters, Xuanzhe and Hongguan, to entrust them with the remote communication system array, the Thunderstorm Array, and the Ten Directions Illusion Array.

Zhou Qing said, "There are two tasks now. The first is to record the array of the long-distance communication system. This is the sect's top priority. You and Wu Tao will be responsible for organizing people to complete this task and establish the communication system as soon as possible."

"Then comes the second task. These two formations are the Thunderstorm Formation and the Ten Directions Illusion Formation. You will first copy them and save them in the library. Then you will be responsible for rewriting these two formations and adding them to the sect's protective formation."

These two formations come from the Seven Emotions Sect, so they cannot be used directly without some transformation. Using them directly would be tantamount to opening the door to the enemy.

Xuanzhe and Hong Guan said excitedly, "Okay, we'll get on it right away."

After the two left, Zhou Qing calmed down and thought about what she should do.

Shall we go back to Thunder Dragon Cave to cultivate now?

This is a bit too hasty. He plans to wait until the first relay station of the Qingyun Sect's long-distance communication system is launched before going back to see how it performs.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing decided to update the new runes he had obtained into the sect's rune library and then analyze all of them.

He can delegate other jobs, but there's really no one who can do this one right now.

While analyzing the runes, Zhou Qing also pondered ways to optimize the long-distance communication system.

He thought that the relay station should be given a flight function.

The current relay station only has a hovering function. Adding a flying function to this is not difficult, but we just didn't think of it at the time.

This feature allows relay stations to evade enemy sabotage within a certain range.

Of course, this is just an excuse to some extent.

A cultivator capable of flying to the Light Clear Layer to destroy a relay station must be extremely fast, and it is extremely difficult for a relay station to achieve such a high flight speed.

This feature is more useful for the little tricks he's hidden in the system.

It was precisely because of this little trick that Zhou Qing decided to stay and wait until the relay station was launched to see its effects before continuing his cultivation.

After half a month, Zhou Qing finally completed the update of the rune library.

The first relay station was also successfully built.

Xuanzhe and Hongguan asked Zhou Qing to go and inspect the goods.

When Zhou Qing went over to take a look, he found that it was a huge iron box in the shape of a Bagua (Eight Trigrams). The iron box was made using the secret method of the Weapon Refining Academy, which could ensure that the array diagram inside would not be easily damaged.

The array diagram was hidden inside the iron box and manufactured using methods to prevent unauthorized recording.

Zhou Qing circled the iron box a few times, and finally had an idea. He asked someone to carve a few lines on the iron box, indicating that it was a magic artifact shared by the eight families, and reminding passersby not to damage it out of respect for the eight families.

It cannot be destroyed, and naturally, it cannot be embezzled.

This can be considered a preliminary ultimatum.

Zhou Qing estimated that there would inevitably be some losses at that time.

After all, it's such a large piece of soft black jade floating in the air; why not take it?

At that point, the eight factions might have to resort to several ruthless methods to secure their air superiority.

Once everything was complete, Zhou Qing personally activated the array, watching the relay station slowly ascend and finally disappear into the clouds. A moment later, the relay station stopped at its designated location.

The courthouse has a tower specifically used to receive signals from relay stations.

Zhou Qing went in and established contact with the relay station.

Now that the first relay station has been built, it cannot be used for communication yet. Zhou Qing wants to test the methods he has hidden in the relay station.

Zhou Qing activated a hidden array in the relay station through the receiver.

Suddenly, a mysterious fluctuation of spiritual energy swept down from the sky.

This fluctuation of spiritual energy can detect the spiritual pressure between heaven and earth and report the spiritual pressure status back to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing closed his eyes and received the messages transmitted to him by the relay station.

It's as if he has an extra pair of eyes.

These eyes are located 1,500 feet above the ground.

These eyes can relay the spiritual pressure within a radius of fifteen miles to Zhou Qing.

He took in the chaotic spiritual energy of the thunderstorm layer, the eagles flying overhead, and even the spiritual herbs and beasts on Qingyun Mountain.

The relay station did not disappoint him.

In fact, the monitoring range of a relay station is very narrow, only a radius of a dozen miles.

Considering that the relay station is located at an altitude of 1,500 zhang, its monitoring of the ground is actually only within a radius of tens or hundreds of zhang.

This scope is far too narrow.

However, this is only the beginning.

Later, as the number of relay stations increased, he also transmitted the relay station array diagrams with enhanced flight capabilities to various sects, allowing them to build them in the same way.

With flight capability, relay stations can infinitely expand their exploration range.

In the future, he will have a unique information advantage.

No one in this world understands the power of information advantage better than him.

This means he will have the advantage of being a sighted person fighting a blind person.

In addition, there was the infrasound generation array he had buried within the formation.

Once this system is established, he will have the ability to strike any cultivator below the Golden Core stage from thousands of miles away.

His current infrasound ability cannot threaten the Golden Core stage, but it can cause discomfort to the Golden Core stage.

This would mean he would have an absolute information advantage, as well as environmental interference that would be advantageous to him.

That's what you call self-preservation!

It is thanks to this system that the potential of the Iron Shot Technique and Plasma Beam Technique can be truly realized.

Especially plasma beams.

This is a powerful ray that can travel hundreds of miles, but currently, limited by his visual range, he simply cannot achieve such a long-range strike.

Once he establishes this system, its ability to strike across hundreds of miles will truly make him invincible.

Zhou Qing was very satisfied with the relay station's capabilities after testing them.

He instructed Xuanzhe to produce the relay station as soon as possible and raise it to the designated location in the Light Clear Layer, and then he returned to the Thunder Dragon Cave with peace of mind.
