Meanwhile, the excavation of the hidden ore vein in the rear mountains of Mountain Sect had also come to an end. The reserves of the ore vein they had uncovered were enormous, and this was what guaranteed the chains could be connected to the Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stones. In fact, calculated properly, the chains encircling the entire Windmist City had consumed no less than thirty-six Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stones' worth of material. By the time the grand formation was completely connected, nine-tenths of the Mountain Sect ore had been used up. The remaining ore would at most be enough to forge a few divine weapons and treasured artifacts; there certainly would not be enough for large-scale equipment.
Of course, there were not many large-scale devices that used Mountain Sect ore, so I did not think it was a problem for the grand formation to consume so much of it. It might even stabilize the price of Mountain Sect ore on the market. If all the ore were released instead, its market value would quickly plummet. As things stood, this could be considered the best of both worlds.
Before the grand formation was activated, the thirty-six Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stones forged from Mountain Sect ore were already immensely intimidating. These transparent giant swords were linked together with equally transparent chains, and the chains from all thirty-six swords ultimately converged on the central main Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stone. The magnificent sight alone was enough to make anyone who intended to offend the Heaven-Elevated Way Sect stop dead in their tracks.
Under the watchful eyes of several hundred Heaven-Elevated Way Sect disciples, I carried the Primordial Breath Soil and slowly flew up to the central Heaven-Suppressing Sword Stone in the middle of Windmist Hall. After clearing the surrounding area, I placed the Primordial Breath Soil—also known as
