The Old Daoist had long since returned to rest by the lake. After all, his old bones could not take all that exertion.
About two hours later.
After making a circuit, Lin Fan finally returned to the lakeside.
"So tired."
Lin Fan rubbed his brow. All forty-nine Heaven-Palm Bottles had now been buried in their corresponding positions.
He looked at the Spirit-Gathering Stone nearby. Now he only needed to activate the spiritual vein and place the Spirit-Gathering Stone in the center of the lake, and everything would be complete.
Lin Fan knew perfectly well that the last step was the hardest.
Since he wanted to use the spiritual vein as the array's foundation, he would inevitably encounter resistance from it when he set down the Spirit-Gathering Stone.
Although the spiritual vein was inanimate, some unseen force would surely prevent him from setting up this superior large-scale Spirit-Gathering Array.
"Still not done?"
Dao Tianji asked curiously, "You've buried all the jade bottles you refined underground. Shouldn't the magic array be ready?"
Hearing this.
Lin Fan smiled slightly and replied, "Senior Uncle, why do you seem even more impatient than I am? That was just the first step. The jade bottles will serve as ordinary array eyes and merge into the array's foundation."
"Now I have to activate the foundation, then place the most important central array eye. Only after I activate the magic array will everything be complete."
He walked over to the Spirit-Gathering Stone and hoisted it onto his shoulder through sheer strength.
Fortunately, everyone present knew him. Any ordinary passerby would probably have been stunned.
The Spirit-Gathering Stone was frighteningly heavy. Even five adults exerting all their strength could not lift it.
Back when this Spirit-Gathering Stone had been at Pingzhou Jade Market, moving it had required a forklift.
