Merit Earned

Four months later.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

One wave of black mist after another slammed madly against the barrier, each collision producing a deafening boom.

Under the repeated bombardment, the barrier's light flickered incessantly, yet it remained standing firm, blocking every attack from the black mist.

Long Xuan stood before an enormous metal pillar. Blazing Setting Sun Divine Flame burned against the pillar, and under the force of his powerful soul power, tiny Formation Inscriptions invisible to the naked eye were left upon its surface one after another.

Within an area no larger than a palm, there were no fewer than ten thousand Formation Inscriptions.

And how many palm-sized areas did this metal pillar contain? How many such metal pillars were there here?

How could a grand formation capable of sealing a True Spirit possibly be simple? The number of Formation Bases was beyond imagination.

Only because Long Xuan could control such an enormous number of Soul-Splittings, borrowing their strength to carve Formation Inscriptions, could he complete such a colossal workload. Otherwise, relying on himself alone, there was no way he could have finished it.

Without the help of his Soul-Splittings, even if he spent a hundred years here, it would have been difficult for him to leave this place.

His Soul-Splittings, together with the Soul-Splittings of his many clones, had forcefully shortened a century-long project to four months.

"It's already been four months. How much longer will it take?" Zhu Jiǔge asked anxiously from the side.

She could not help at all here, yet she had stayed with Long Xuan for four months without leaving.

Though she had remained here the entire time, she had not wasted her cultivation time. The spiritual energy density here was simply too high, even far surpassing that of the Demon Suppression Tower above.
