Chapter 2872 The Great Array
Since the great formation is called "Jade Universe Purification," in addition to its defensive capabilities, it can also eliminate the decaying aura through various profound means.
However, this ability to annihilate has its limits in terms of both speed and scale, and... the consumption is equally astonishing.
The True Lords have designed too many plans and tried their best to save costs.
However, the collapse of the world is ultimately beyond the capacity of this level to withstand.
All we can do is try to delay the completion of the Skyfall by expending a lot of resources!
“Then let’s begin,” the old woman agreed to Wen Shi’s suggestion. “Fellow Daoist Bo Ping, those worlds can be taken back now.”
The tribulations faced by Qi cultivators did not completely consume all the middle and small worlds.
In the near future, if the great formation consumes too many resources, these worlds will become resources for it.
“No problem,” Bo Ping Zhenjun said, starting to retract the light spot. “The good news is that the formation can be used for focused defense.”
The grand formation that everyone initially designed was aimed at the entire Lianxing Realm!
The sheer size of this formation is unimaginable; otherwise, Qu Jianlei felt that even if Wenxian Zhenzun were present, he would have gained something.
However, a formation involving the entire world is still a bit inconceivable.
Even with the participation of multiple True Lords and the supply of massive amounts of resources, it was still too strenuous, and the consumption was astonishing.
Therefore, even the most powerful pre-set formations have their own biases, primarily used to protect areas where cultivators exist.
But now everyone doesn't need to worry anymore, the team has successfully attracted most of Tianqing's hatred.
The reduced size of the formation not only uses fewer materials but also makes it easier for everyone to operate and allows it to withstand attacks for longer.
“Let’s use Lianxing’s treasure first,” Boping Zhenjun said without hesitation, “which is the Zhutian Sword…”
This is a divine weapon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage; the sword tip is broken and the blade is in a terrible state.
"Thank you all for seeing me off," a shadowy figure appeared, looking like a child of about ten or eight years old.
The child's face was covered with scars, his right eye was a deep pit, he only had a left eye, and both of his legs were broken, one longer than the other.
His left arm was severed at the wrist, but his right hand was intact, and his whole body reeked of decay.
He clasped his hands in a respectful bow, a bright smile spreading across his face. "I'm off now. If I succeed, remember to let the void know!"
"Go then," Bo Ping waved his hand and spoke calmly, "If I succeed in saving the world, I will reforge the Heaven-Slaying Sword!"
“No need,” the child vanished in an instant, “I have no regrets in this life, and that is already good enough.”
"This sword..." A thin, almost imperceptible mist appeared in the bright-eyed girl's eyes, "...can enter the vast realm!"
“There are too many predecessors in Lianxing who bravely faced death,” Boping sighed softly. “Fortunately, we have all the records!”
The next moment, a huge phantom appeared and floated in the void, which was the appearance of the Broken Sword Slaying the Heavens.
As Zhutian emerged, the surrounding decaying aura visibly receded.
However, as time went by, the phantom of the broken sword became increasingly faint.
Finally, at a certain moment, the phantom suddenly collapsed, turning into specks of light that gradually disappeared.
“It can last for another five days,” Bo Ping Zhenjun said calmly, without any sadness on his face.
Lian Xing had been fighting against Tian Qing for too long, and he had seen too many life-and-death scenes like this, so he was no longer moved by them.
The young woman sighed softly and said quietly, "Are there many more artifact spirits like this?"
She has lived long enough and seen too much of the world, so she can take a detached view of life and death.
However, she was also a kind of artifact spirit, and the scene of the Heaven-Slaying Artifact Spirit calmly facing death made it hard for her not to feel a little sad.
“Not many, but there are still some,” Bo Ping Zhenjun replied calmly. “When the heavens collapse, no one can escape.”
"I'm starting to suspect you're just trying to gain sympathy, aren't you?" the young woman said, expressing her slight displeasure.
These words were rather impolite, but Bo Ping Zhenjun remained calm. "That person... is actually a bit of a germaphobe."
These words left the young woman speechless, and after a long pause, she sighed softly, "Sigh."
The situation has been unstable over the past five days, with wave after wave of aura from the Heavenly Collapse attacking the great formation.
Each wave is stronger than the last.
Compared to the turmoil in the core area, the aura in other parts of the Star Realm, although it has also strengthened, is quite slowly.
It's almost impossible to observe without careful attention.
"It seems our efforts are having some effect," Luo Fu whispered to her cheap senior brother.
Qu Jianlei, however, was asking, "Do you have any treasures?"
Luo Fu hesitated for a moment before reluctantly taking out a piece of gold crystal, which had countless small pits and holes on it.
The once dazzling crystal now looks rather worn and rather... weathered.
However, she couldn't hide her melancholy, saying, "This is the true essence of martial arts that I have gathered over many years."
These pits and craters were formed little by little by her using the true essence of martial arts; strictly speaking... they are truly precious.
At the very least, it's much more valuable than the sword intent meteorite that Qu Jianlei previously obtained in the Girls' Starfield!
When Luo Fu left, she originally intended to leave it to the younger generation of the sect, which could be considered a long-lasting opportunity.
However, considering that she didn't know when she would be able to return after leaving, she worried that she would bring disaster upon the sect and cause its destruction.
That's right, even if she is a True Venerable, this possibility objectively exists. Those who follow the path of martial arts are prone to impulsiveness.
Even if she can punish the culprit when she returns, the damage will have already been done and cannot be undone.
After much deliberation, she decided to take the item with her. As for the care she would give to her original sect, she could consider that later when she was stronger.
This shows that she really, really values this piece of gold crystal.
“Never mind, that represents your life journey,” Qu Jianlei waved his hand, “It’s very memorable.”
He casually said, "I'll give you your treasure, but first I'll give you a small Jianmu sapling."
His words were quite polite, mainly because he didn't want to be too harsh on his fellow disciples.
In front of so many powerful figures, to reveal the true essence of martial arts at the True Venerable level... it is indeed very precious to you, but is it appropriate?
"Jianmu..." Upon hearing this, Luo Fu's eyes lit up immediately. "Isn't it too precious?"
“If it can grow, it’s a Jianmu tree,” Qu Jianlei said expressionlessly. “If it can’t grow, it’s just waste material!”
He obtained this treasure from the Forgotten Peninsula and was absolutely thrilled with it at the time.
But over the years, he has been wandering and adventuring, without the opportunity to find a home for Jianmu and carefully nurture it.
The Jianmu tree can support a world, easily grow to the middle thousand worlds, and the great world is not impossible.
But for him now, the Middle Thousand Worlds are no longer worth paying much attention to.
If you really want it, just look for it in the void. As long as you don't think about destroying the other party, how much karma would it take to forcibly take it?
As for cultivating it into a great world... goodbye, he doesn't have that much time, patience, or resources!
"Thank you, senior brother," Luo Fu said, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She couldn't possibly refuse him—they were fellow disciples, and she would repay him sincerely in the future.
"Wow, you've got a lot of good stuff," the young woman couldn't help but exclaim, "Why didn't you keep it?"
"I can't afford to keep it," Qu Jianlei replied without hesitation. "If you think it's good, shall we switch?"
"No need, I can't afford to raise them," the young woman replied decisively.
"Back then, I had two Jianmu seeds, which I traded with the sect with great reluctance... Hmm?"
"Hmm," Qu Jianlei snorted, "The Earth Fire Pill Room, is that also your doing, Ancestor?"
"I really didn't know that," the young woman said frankly, "but in this situation... Jianmu is really suitable!"
The Jianmu tree is no ordinary treasure. The reason why Qu Jianlei felt it was somewhat useless was because he had too many things to do!
Moreover, the growth of Jianmu requires too many resources, which is really too much for the average person to afford!
Those who are dedicated to the path of survival, hiding in the wilderness until the end of time, and still managing to make some extra money from time to time, are the ones who can afford to accompany you.
Considering that the Jianmu saplings in his possession were likely traded by the young lady, this further illustrates the point.
Tai Yuanhai has never displayed her wealth, but there is no doubt that she has lived for tens of thousands of years without any loss.
The Three Thousand Minor Realms are not just a boast; the True Lords who have presided over discussions on the Dao for tens of thousands of years could not possibly have gained nothing from them.
Even with her wealth, she had to give up Jianmu wood in exchange for resources, which shows that this thing... is something that ordinary people really can't afford to play with.
Using Jianmu in this context is quite appropriate, as it possesses immense life potential.
That's the potential to support a vast world!
It's difficult to cultivate a Jianmu tree into a useful tree, but the energy that can be released by overdrawing its potential is absolutely extraordinary.
Once the five-day deadline passed, the decaying atmosphere on the periphery began to stir again, eager to make a comeback.
Bo Ping Da Jun then threw out half of a broken seal, which clearly possessed the aura of a Nascent Soul level cultivator and also carried a trace of the karmic consequences of the Heavenly Collapse.
However, the seal lacks a spirit, and its state of disrepair is comparable to that of the previous broken Dao stele.
As the great seal was cast into the formation, Bo Ping Zhenjun calmly stated, "Eleven to twelve days."
I really don't know how much Lian Xing paid when he dealt with Tian Qing, with one broken magic weapon after another.
The old woman spoke up, "I'll take the next one. I can't let Lianxing keep making sacrifices."
Bo Ping Zhenjun smiled wryly upon hearing this, "I, Lian Xing, still possess quite a few of these treasures."
“There’s a limit to how much more there is,” the old woman said calmly. “I don’t know how much longer I have to keep going, so there’s no point in arguing.”
So the third treasure, which she took out, was also a somewhat damaged artifact that allowed her to leave her body.
She said with a touch of melancholy that this was something she had used years ago and had some sentimental value, so she had not traded or given it away.
Although the old woman brought all her possessions, she didn't have many useless treasures; she exchanged most of them for things that might be useful.
These two are the main force behind the treasures, because they are the true core True Lords.
Other high-ranking officials, of course, couldn't possibly invest nothing either; some even made substantial investments—after all, the bigger the investment, the greater the return.
Fortunately, there were prior plans in place, so everyone didn't panic.
