The matters of Penglai Island's inner island had been settled, but the outside still needed some arrangements. Once the exterior was set up, Yuan Tian could set off for the Primordial Continent he had long yearned for. As for the Innate Five-Element Fruit Tree, Yuan Tian did not plan to concern himself with it for now, nor did he want to move it. He would leave it on Penglai Island; in any case, there was no one who could compete with him for it. With a flash, Yuan Tian left Penglai Island without even greeting the two Little Green Willows again.
Yuan Tian did not depart immediately. He intended to set up two more formations outside Penglai Island. One was to protect the two Little Green Willows on the island; Yuan Tian still valued them greatly. The other was that Penglai Island could be considered his "old nest" from now on. He could not possibly return someday only to find his old nest occupied by someone else. Wouldn't that make Yuan Tian too ridiculous, too pitiful, too speechless? Thus, Yuan Tian planned to arrange two formations on Penglai Island to prevent any accidents. Caution came first in all things.
Yuan Tian planned to arrange two formations on Penglai Island: the Nine Heavens Annihilation Formation and the Chaos Wutu Formation. That was right—the two great formations contained within Yuan Tian's life-bound Spirit Treasures, the Nine Heavens Chart and the Mountains and Rivers State Chart. The Nine Heavens Annihilation Formation specialized in attack. In terms of pure offensive power, it could at least rank among the top ten in the Primordial Wilderness. The Chaos Wutu Formation specialized in defense and trapping. So long as one's cultivation was lower than Yuan Tian's current cultivation, then sorry—you had better stay obediently inside the formation and forget about coming out.
As for the Chaos Star Formation contained within the Chaos Star Chart, Yuan Tian would not use it for now. He had a feeling that this trip to the Primordial Continent would bring the Chaos Star Chart unexpected benefits. Cultivators usually had very strong "sixth senses," even stronger than a woman's sixth sense. Therefore, Yuan Tian did not plan to use the Chaos Star Chart to arrange a formation this time. He intended to take the Chaos Star Chart with him as he ventured through the Primordial Wilderness. Besides, Yuan Tian himself needed a Spirit Treasure for protection. With the Chaos Star Chart, he would at least have one more treasure to save his life.
In Yuan Tian's view, the combination of the Nine Heavens Annihilation Formation and the Chaos Wutu Formation was practically invincible. With the power of both formations combined, Yuan Tian figured that even an expert at the Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm would likely need ten thousand years to break them. And ten thousand years was enough time for Yuan Tian to rush back from anywhere in the Primordial Wilderness. Then they would see who the deer died in whose hands.
Yuan Tian stretched out both hands, and the Nine Heavens Chart and Mountains and Rivers State Chart appeared in his palms. He lightly tossed the two treasure charts toward Penglai Island, with the Nine Heavens Chart in front and the Mountains and Rivers State Chart behind. Without any further movement from Yuan Tian, the two great formations were completed in an instant. This was the advantage of Yuan Tian's three formation-chart Spirit Treasures. Unlike other formations, which required long periods of setup, Yuan Tian only needed to throw out his three charts and silently recite the incantation in his heart.
The moment Yuan Tian tossed the formation charts toward Penglai, Penglai Island was instantly enveloped by the formations. First came a stretch of violet radiance, giving off an illusion-like feeling. Everything seemed so beautiful, yet behind that beauty lay boundless danger. This was the phenomenon that appeared when the Nine Heavens Annihilation Formation took shape. Then Penglai Island was covered once more by an earthy yellow glow, which gave people a sense of steadiness, as though the formation could grant endless security. In truth, the formation indeed could bring safety—but that depended on who you were. Allies would naturally be safe. If you were an enemy, then sorry, just stay nicely within this formation that made you feel so safe and be trapped to death. This was the light emitted when the Chaos Wutu Formation took shape. Then the violet and earthy yellow lights vanished, as though they had never appeared at all. Once the formations were complete, they automatically concealed their unusual radiance. Otherwise, wouldn't they be showing others a bright road? There are good things here, come and take them! Wouldn't Yuan Tian be depressed to death?
When the two lights flashed in succession and then disappeared, Yuan Tian knew that the two formations had been successfully arranged.
Although Yuan Tian had never arranged them before, he could still confirm that the two great formations had been successfully set up. Though he was certain the formations were complete, Yuan Tian still planned to test their power. Without testing them himself, he always felt a faint trace of unease. Practice was the sole criterion for testing truth, so Yuan Tian wanted to personally test the formations' might.
Yuan Tian did not control the formations. With a flash, he entered the Nine Heavens Annihilation Formation. The instant Yuan Tian entered, he was immediately attacked by the formation. Innate Sword Qi filled the skies, and all kinds of heavenly lightning continuously struck at him. Taken together, those attacks possessed at least the power of an ordinary Zenith Heaven True Immortal going all out. The attacks continued without pause for ten years, as though the barrage filling the heavens had no end. The entire Nine Heavens Annihilation Formation seemed as though it had taken an aphrodisiac, going on and on without stopping. From beginning to end, Yuan Tian did not feel the attacks weaken. On the contrary, they faintly showed signs of growing stronger. Even with Yuan Tian's mana, over a hundred times greater than that of an ordinary Zenith Heaven True Immortal, and a body as tough as a Mid-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, he was beginning to be unable to endure it. Within the formation, he simply could not absorb spiritual energy, while the formation could slowly absorb spiritual energy from outside to strengthen its own attacks. With one side dwindling and the other growing, how could Yuan Tian possibly withstand it? Even a Daluo Golden Immortal would be finished under such attack. Thus, Yuan Tian made a splendid retreat. After all, it was his own formation. With a single thought, every attack within the formation vanished, and Yuan Tian was safe again. His conclusion was that the Nine Heavens Annihilation Formation's offensive power was extremely strong.
After experiencing the Nine Heavens Annihilation Formation, Yuan Tian did not dare relax in the slightest regarding the Chaos Wutu Formation. He first recuperated for a hundred years. Although he had not been injured within the Nine Heavens Annihilation Formation, his spiritual energy consumption had been considerable. After ten years of depletion, Yuan Tian actually needed a hundred years to recover.
Once Yuan Tian's condition had fully recovered to its peak, he once again arrived before the Chaos Wutu Formation. He needed to test the strength of the Chaos Wutu Formation. The Chaos Wutu Formation was the foremost defensive formation under Yuan Tian's command, and its defensive power was extremely important to him.
Yuan Tian first struck the Chaos Wutu Formation with the power of a Peak Zenith Heaven True Immortal, yet the Chaos Wutu Formation did not react at all. For the following year, Yuan Tian continuously attacked it with the power of a Peak Zenith Heaven True Immortal, but the result was still no reaction whatsoever. Thus, Yuan Tian began increasing his strength—twice the power of a Peak Zenith Heaven True Immortal, three times, five times, ten times, twenty times—yet there was still no response. This was already equivalent to the full-force attack of an ordinary mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal. Yuan Tian continued increasing his attack power, and only when he reached twenty-five times his power did the formation show a slight ripple. Of course, it was only a slight ripple.
Seeing the formation ripple, Yuan Tian continued increasing the force of his attacks—thirty times, fifty times, eighty times, until finally Yuan Tian struck with all his strength. The formation still remained the same, with only a slight ripple and no intention of shattering whatsoever. Yuan Tian felt as though he had been teased. Wasn't this just playing with me? Is this how you play? Giving me hope but never letting it come true? But overall, Yuan Tian was still quite happy. His goal was not to break the formation, but to test its defensive power. He was extremely satisfied with the result. Although he did not know the limit of its defense, even his strength—one hundred times that of an ordinary Zenith Heaven True Immortal, roughly equivalent to the full-force attack of a Peak Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal—could do nothing to it. Its defensive power was more than enough to satisfy Yuan Tian.
As for the Chaos Wutu Formation's ability to trap people, Yuan Tian did not plan to test it further. These two were about enough. Yuan Tian did not believe there were already Quasi-Sage-level experts in the Primordial Wilderness. If he truly encountered a Quasi-Sage, then relying on two formations with no one controlling them would still be rather unreliable.
With the two formations arranged and satisfactory test results obtained, Yuan Tian was finally at ease. He could now go to the Primordial Continent and travel properly—oh, no, that was wrong. He should call it experience and tempering.
