As for the other formations they could choose from, either cultivators needed a long period of familiarity before they could coordinate with one another, or the formation could move but was geared mainly toward offense, with defense weakened by far too much.
In the end, the cultivators of the two sects selected four sets of formations. In order to achieve their goal as soon as possible, the discussion had not actually taken very long.
It was at that moment that Bai Rou timidly mentioned that she also had such a formation in her possession.
This formation came with the Thousand-Array Ancient Ape itself. It was the outward projection of the Array of Stars Across the Dipper, but naturally, she would not reveal that so directly.
She merely said that the formation used a puppet as its formation core, then spread out a defensive light barrier to cover the surrounding area.
However, given the terrifying power of the flying stones here, roughly ten cultivators would need to maintain it at the same time, and spirit stones would also be needed to assist the puppet's operation.
With so many people and spirit stones sustaining it, the formation could weaken the impact of outside forces by around twenty to thirty percent.
At the same time, once the puppet was used as the formation core, the formation would continuously follow along as the puppet advanced.
Since the puppet itself was where the formation core lay, the formation would not become unstable during this process.
Furthermore, cultivators not participating in the formation's maintenance could temporarily meditate atop the puppet's body after it enlarged, recovering their depleted strength.
She would also control the puppet to knock away flying stones that came too close to its body, ensuring their safety.
The moment Bai Rou made this proposal,
