Lu Feng replied calmly, "Balancing Momentum alone can only stabilize the protective formation where we are. It has very little effect on those extensions, so I reinforced them while I was at it, using a few Solidifying Momentum techniques."
"Reinforced them while you were at it?" Fourth Uncle clicked his tongue, eyes wide.
Miao Qiuyun's mouth twitched sharply. "Solidifying Momentum techniques!?"
They all understood the application of "balancing" techniques in Mending Arrays. It was nothing more than "tearing down the eastern wall to patch the western wall"—calming the overabundant portions of a formation and replenishing the weakened areas.
Yet none of them knew how Solidifying Momentum techniques specifically worked. Even though they had just witnessed it firsthand, they could not discern any clue of its workings.
It was truly difficult to imagine the mystery within.
Since it concerned Exquisite Valley's secrets, Lu Feng did not explain much. Though Solidifying Momentum seemed mysterious to outsiders, once one understood its principles, it was not actually difficult to perform.
Given the current circumstances, those mounds of earth that had been formed to obscure the eye and confuse others should have collapsed and scattered away. Even Balancing Momentum could not have maintained them completely.
But it was barely possible to freeze them at the very instant before collapse, keeping them in an extremely unstable state that would scatter at the slightest touch. That was the application of Solidifying Momentum.
It was like a massive balloon, inflated to its limit and about to burst. At the very instant before it exploded, it was frozen in place, maintained at the threshold of breaking but not yet broken.
The moment an external force touched it, its explosive momentum would erupt. That was the principle.
More accurately, those earthen mounds could no longer be considered part of the
