Dragon-Teng Empire

Now that the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram is complete, we must quickly gather the materials and set up the Immortal-Slaying Formation.

A glint flashed in Long Xuan's eyes. He immediately put away the Formation Diagram and quickly walked outside.

It took half a year to study the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram, meaning Blackstone City has been besieged for almost two years.

Shi Haojun controlled a horde of corpses to besiege Blackstone City Blackstone City two years, but failed to capture it. The fact that the various races in the city could hold out for two years under the endless siege of Plague Corpse shocked everyone and was beyond everyone's expectations.

Of course, no one knows the reason for this except for the Long Family themselves.

The Long Family secretly transported supplies into the city through their Spatial House, thus thwarting Shi Haojun's attrition tactics.

City Lord Yan Pojun remains completely unaware of the situation, harboring no suspicion whatsoever. He simply believes that Blackstone City is a large city where all races have resource reserves, and that even if supplies are scarce, there are still some to be found.

The Long Family thus made a fortune from the war and became the biggest winner.

With such a large fortune in hand, one wonders how many Blood Dragon Battle Gu the Long Family will refine as a result.

Long Xuan knew very well that the Long Family had no shortage of the main ingredient for the Blood Dragon Battle Gu. After countless millennia of accumulation, the Long Family had an abundance of Supreme-grade Spirit Insect Divine Dragon Gu.

Once there is no shortage of top-quality master insects and enough wealth to purchase materials, then the Blood Dragon Battle Gu can be mass-produced.

Because the Far West Long Family controlled the channels through which grain was transported to Blackstone City, the Western Land Long Family had to purchase the water and food they needed from the Far West Long Family. The Far West Long Family took the opportunity to raise prices and made a fortune, making it no problem for them to refine some Blood Dragon Battle Gu.

Long Xuan was pleased to see the two clans growing stronger. The stronger the two clans were, the easier it would be for him to curry favor with them and protect his future wealth. Long Xuan, carrying the Longevity Gu Recipe the patriarch's pavilion.

As expected, Long Wanli became excited again, and the entire Long Family was soon thrown into chaos once more. The elders of the clan were once again alarmed and rushed out of their residences, excitedly running towards the council hall, without even having time to tidy themselves up.

Before long, all the clan's high-ranking members had arrived. In the past, these old guys had difficulty walking and would dawdle during meetings, but this time they all arrived instantly, as if they had flown in directly, with not a single one absent.

"Improving the quality of Gu Insect Gu Insect by extending their lifespan—what a divine idea! How come I didn't think of that?"

"This is the first time I've ever heard of Gu Insect being able to improve their quality. It's practically a miracle in the Gu World! Is it possible for other Gu Insect to improve their quality by extending their lifespan in this way?"

"What's the point of improving the quality of supreme-grade Gu worm? Could there be Saint-grade Gu worm or God-grade Gu worm appearing in the future?"

The second elder stared at the little fat worm in the middle of the conference table, his eyes wide with fury, and shouted like a madman, baring his teeth and claws.

"Hehe!" The elder stroked his beard and chuckled, "Forget about improving the quality of supreme-grade Gu worm. All Gu Insect with a growth rate exceeding ten thousand years are collectively called supreme-grade Gu worm. Regardless of their strength or the difference between them, there won't be any Gu Insect of higher quality."

"Otherwise, do you really think the Plague Demon Gu is still supreme-grade Gu worm? It has long surpassed the category of supreme-grade Gu worm; its strength is simply abnormal."

"If there really is a quality classification after the supreme-grade Gu worm, even if the Plague Demon Gu were to be upgraded by one or two levels, it would still be far from enough to stop it."

"That's right!" Long Wanli interjected, "That idea is acceptable, but let's put it aside for now. This kind of Longevity Gu is only effective against the Thatch Gu,' and it won't work against other Gu Insect."

"If you want to achieve what you're looking for, then you'll have to create another kind of Gu Recipe yourself, which is just too expensive. You all know how much resources it consumes to create your own Gu Recipe."

"We have many ways to make money now, and we have many things to do, so there's no need to expend energy on other things."

"Our current focus should be on the transformation of the Thatch Gu. Establishing teleportation portals in various locations is the most important task for our clan right now. Whether our clan will achieve glory depends on this."

A glint suddenly appeared in Long Wanli's eyes, and his expression grew increasingly excited.

The elder clan leader, who valued the Thatch Gu most highly, suddenly stopped smiling, revealing a very solemn expression, and said in a deep voice, "Don't be too happy yet."

"This is a groundbreaking technology that could replace Teleportation Array. The stakes involved are enormous, and if not handled properly, it could lead to the extinction of our entire race."

"This profit is something we can't hold onto, not even if we joined forces with the Western Land Long Family."

"We have limited resources; even with abundant resources, it's impossible to cultivate a large number of Gu King in a short period. Finding a powerful backer is our only option."

"This is something I mentioned a long time ago. Once we successfully research the ability of the Thatch Gu to carry living creatures, we will contact relatives in various places to jointly protect this treasure."

"Now it's time to get this plan started."

The elders all nodded, their smiles fading as their expressions turned grave. Long Wanli also calmed down, took a deep breath, and sighed, "This is indeed the only way, but it also carries risks."

"There are many people in this world with the surname Long, and many of them share the same roots, but they haven't been in contact for eight hundred years, no, for countless millennia. Apart from sharing the same surname, they belong to different factions."

While forces with similar roots are easier to trust, there's no guarantee they won't harbor malicious intentions.

"This matter is definitely risky, but it's certainly more reliable than dealing with outsiders."

The elder nodded and said, "I share this concern. If one side is too strong and the other too weak, then even if they share the same bloodline, it will be difficult to maintain an equal partnership."

"My idea is to first unite the weaker relatives to form an alliance, then let the alliance grow larger and larger, and finally have this alliance contact the strongest power in the Central Land, the Dragon-Teng Empire."

"With the strength of the Dragon-Teng Empire, I think it's enough to hold onto this business." The elder's eyes flickered.

Mentioning this power caused all the elders to change their expressions, their eyes revealing fear.

Among the thirty-six lands of the Western Region, the Central Land is the strongest. The Central Land is the largest in area among the thirty-six lands, containing countless super powers and powerful figures.

The Dragon-Teng Empire is the overlord of the Central Land and one of the strongest forces Central Land. As a nation-level power, it has so many Gu King that they are impossible to count, and there are many powerful warriors like Yan Pojun.

It's no exaggeration to say that anyone from the Dragon-Teng Empire could easily wipe out the Far West Long Family; that's how vast the gap is between them.

"I think it's feasible," Long Wanli said with a determined look in his eyes. "Although risks cannot be completely avoided, it's simply impossible to achieve great things without taking any risks at all."

"A few days ago, the West Sea Long Clan was besieged by the Zhu-Song Families and sent a letter to our clan requesting assistance."

"Originally, I didn't want to get involved. Meddling in other people's affairs would only lead to the loss of our Lineage's experts, and it would also easily make enemies and bring trouble."

"But now it seems necessary for our clan to intervene. The West Sea Long Clan is not weak. Once our clan lends a helping hand, we will be indebted to them and they will become our first stable partner."

The elders all nodded in agreement. The second elder said, "When the Beast Tide broke out in the Far Western Lands last time, the forces from the West Sea provided assistance, including the West Sea Long Clan."

"It's perfectly reasonable for us to act out of gratitude, and we can do it."

Everyone nodded again, and no one raised any objections. The important matter of sending troops to the West Sea was thus settled at this meeting.

Two weeks later, at Violet Star Peak.

The Immortal-Slaying Grand Formation is special; it doesn't require a large area, so setting Immortal-Slaying Grand Formation up doesn't take too much time. With the help of his five clones, Long Xuan successfully set up the Immortal-Slaying Grand Formation in just half a month.

As soon as the Immortal-Slaying Grand Formation was completed, Long Xuan couldn't wait to call Long Ziyan over.

"Grandma, go inside, and remember your promise."

Long Xuan gestured for her to proceed, looking at her with a mischievous grin.

Long Ziyan frowned slightly, looking at him suspiciously.

He actually did it? How is that possible? He must be bluffing himself.

Someone who has never even touched a sword can create a formation that simulates Sword Intent? What a joke! She would never believe it, not even if you beat her to death.

Long Ziyan looked at the eighteen white pillars in the center of the arena, her brows furrowing even deeper.

The array that Long Xuan haphazardly concocted was not only small in area, but also strangely had eighteen pillars erected on it.

The pillars couldn't be superfluous. According to her understanding of formations, these should be a kind of Formation Base for inscribing array Formation Inscription. Inscribing Formation Inscription horizontally is quite an imaginative idea.

The combination of horizontal and vertical Formation Inscription Formation Inscription creates a more complex function, enough to make people dizzy. Even if she doesn't have a deep understanding of array formations, she knows that such an array is extremely difficult to deal with, and basically no one can break it without understanding this ingenious concept.

No one had ever inscribed array Formation Inscription horizontally before; otherwise, wouldn't the Formation Inscription be completely visible to others if such pillars were erected? Wouldn't breaking the array be an easy task?

No formation master would do something so foolish. How could Long Xuan make such a basic mistake? Such a wild idea is simply impossible in this world. Long Ziyan looked puzzled.

However, when her Evil Dragon Emperor Eye swept across the pillar, she scanned it carefully for a long time but couldn't see a single Formation Inscription Formation Inscription, and she didn't know where he had hidden them.

She was even more confused.

"Are you sure this is an array? Are you sure you can effectively deploy such a large-scale array?" Long Ziyan asked in surprise.

"Actually, the formation could be larger, but Immortal-Slaying Grand Formation is for defending against enemies. If it's just to help someone comprehend Sword Intent, there's no need for such a large area. These spaces are sufficient."

"Don't underestimate such a large formation; the Formation Inscription within it far exceed your imagination."

"It looks small from the outside, but once you go inside, you'll find that the world inside is infinitely large, and you can't even walk to the end."

"Once you get lost inside, even if you're not killed by the Sword Intent, it's very difficult to get out, and you'll eventually be trapped and die."

"I'm not bragging, but this formation already deserves to be called a world-class formation, and it might even be ranked among the top." Long Xuan revealed a smug smile.

"This is the Formation Key; you can activate Formation Key whenever you think of it."

"Go in and experience it for yourself; the world inside will amaze you."

After Long Xuan placed a sword-shaped token into Long Ziyan's hand, he pushed her without saying a word, shoving her into the Immortal-Slaying Grand Formation, specifically into the center of the eighteen pillars.

As soon as Long Ziyan entered the Immortal-Slaying Grand Formation, the eighteen pillars immediately began to flash with light, releasing a dazzling and intense glow.

Not long after, the eighteen pillars and Long Ziyan inside vanished into thin air...
