At this moment, the coastal areas of the Divine Land mainland are at the forefront of the tsunami's impact.
A large number of people have already arrived here. Upon closer inspection, most of them are at the Late Qi Refining Stage. They have gathered here, completely surrounding this usually deserted beach.
Many others have also learned rudimentary flying techniques, hovering in the air in twos and threes, attracting considerable attention.
There's a reason they're gathered here.
At the very center of the circle of cultivators was a female cultivator. Dozens of images formed from magical Magic Power were slowly rotating around her, and each image contained information Dharma Aspect.
Indeed, this female cultivator is Xia Yuqing, currently the strongest array master in Divine Land besides Li Xingkong, and she was in charge of designing the entire Nation-Protecting Grand Formation.
In order to deal with the sudden natural disaster caused by this accident, she had no choice but to go to the scene in person and use the limited time to mobilize everyone present to combine their strength into one in order to fight against this natural disaster.
Construction is still underway at the gap in the grand formation. Most of the lower-level cultivators who came to help have already participated in the construction of the grand formation, trying to seize the time and complete the formation before the disaster strikes.
The remaining cultivators, whose cultivation levels were higher, faced an even more arduous task.
They needed to keep the tsunami out of the great formation before it was fully set up.
Although cultivators in the Late Qi Refining Stage can ascend to the heavens or even the moon, they are still somewhat powerless against natural disasters of this magnitude, only being stronger in their own right.
Under such a natural disaster, they can probably save their own lives, but asking them to withstand the disaster and keep it out of the country is undoubtedly like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Even after cultivation, a person is still a human being. Humans are inherently social animals, and the power that a group of people can exert often far exceeds that of an individual. With the blessing of an array, the power that can be exerted will only be greater.
"We need a group of people to act as the core of the formation, connecting the entire Nation-Protecting Grand Formation to form a unified whole. This is the only way to effectively withstand the impact of the tsunami. However, once they become the core, they need to provide their own Magic Power to support the array, so this is not an easy task. It will take at least 1,000 people to get the entire array running. And the key nodes for its operation are shown here..."
On the shore, Xia Yuqing was quickly assigning tasks. As soon as she conjured the node diagram, a group of cultivators stepped forward, took the diagram, and began to assign the nodes they were to be responsible for.
Those cultivators who are willing to come here are naturally here to contribute to the Divine Land. Those who are selfish or unwilling to follow arrangements would not have come here in the first place.
As for coming here to cause trouble, that person must have something wrong with their brain. With so many cultivators together, how brain-dead must they be to dare to cause trouble in this place?
"Part Two: Normally, the grand formation can withstand the impact of a tsunami, but this time the situation is somewhat different. The scale of this tsunami is somewhat excessive. If the grand formation is impacted by the tsunami over a large area, it may cause excessive energy consumption of the formation, and the energy of other parts of the formation cannot be transmitted in time, causing the grand formation to be forcibly broken through. Therefore, there must be someone guarding the nodes of the grand formation that are at risk of being impacted."
This part of the work is slightly easier, but it's not as simple as just sitting there. Since the designer said so, it means that the location of these nodes still carries a significant risk.
After these nodes materialized, a small portion of the cultivators received their orders, each assigned a node, and headed to their respective locations.
These two groups have already transferred half of the high-level cultivators who will provide support, and the remaining half still have a crucial step to take.
The temporary array pieced together using cultivators as nodes cannot Dharma Aspect in terms of either effect or range. Therefore, more processing is needed before this entire large array can be completed.
This method of processing was designed by combining formation techniques with modern scientific theories.
They planned to use the remaining cultivators' power Magic Power to extend the temporary array a distance into the sea, creating several sufficiently long Tesla valves to weaken the impact of the tsunami.
A Tesla valve is a special type of water valve that can use the impact force of the water flow itself to slow down the water flow, achieving an effect similar to force against force.
If the Tesla valve is long enough, the power of the tsunami will be weakened indefinitely until it is unable to move forward.
However, this is the ideal situation. A Tesla valve that has been built in advance can indeed be used in this way, but the problem is that it is too late for them to start construction now. At this time, the cultivators can only take matters into their own hands and use their own Magic Power to build a Tesla valve made of pure Magic Power.
This also means they need to face the tsunami head-on, using their bodies to confront its full power.
This part is also the most dangerous part of the operation; even those at the Late Qi Refining Stage cannot guarantee a safe return.
After this part of the plan's milestones was presented, the cultivators present hesitated. After all, many of them believed that this part was truly life-threatening. After cultivating for so long, was it worth losing their lives for this?
This is indeed a great test for practitioners.
However, the hesitation didn't last long, and someone was the first to step forward.
Tang Cheng was the one who stepped forward. Although the task was arduous, what did it matter to him to rise to the challenge? As someone in an important position, he naturally had responsibilities to bear, and he had no choice but to take on the task.
After taking the node diagram, Tang Cheng withdrew from Xia Yuqing's vicinity. After all, there were still some other matters to arrange, and those who wanted to participate in this most difficult part of the task would naturally come to Tang Cheng to discuss the node arrangement.
That's basically the layout along the coast. The remaining arrangements are just patrols and support duties. While these duties are also important, they are much less dangerous than the previous ones.
There aren't enough people at the Late Qi Refining Stage; even mid-stage cultivators can handle a large part of the work.
After obtaining the node diagram of the Tesla valve, Tang Cheng brought it to the designated deployment location, not worried that no one would come.
He immediately set the node map aside and began to examine it in relation to the terrain. In this map, the cultivators on the outermost edge were in the greatest danger. They had to face the impact of the tsunami, which had not been weakened in the slightest. Moreover, this impact was not a one-time event and might last for a long time.
Having accepted this mission, Tang Cheng naturally wouldn't hide behind others; he was bound to share the burden during this most dangerous period.
