Earth Mother?
The entire palace was lifted up, creating a very exaggerated visual effect!
The imperial palace of Cloud Capital is enormous, almost the size of a normal city. The sheer weight of the structure supporting such a massive palace is truly terrifying; it must be something even higher than the Earth Mother.
Chen Qing secretly unleashed his spiritual power to protect the somewhat panicked students from Jiangnan.
Although the others were all experienced in grand occasions, the sheer spectacle still took many of them by surprise.
"How did something this big manage to hide underground?" Shen Qi frowned and whispered, "This Cloud Capital Formation is probably much stronger than ours in Jiangnan, how could it not have been able to defend against underground attacks?"
In Jiangnan, at the Tong Pass, even the disciples of the academy can build a magic array capable of defending against heaven and earth. How could these Ancient Demon of Cloud Capital, with such meticulous planning, not have considered the underground issue?
And how come no one noticed something so large coming from underground?
Chen Qing squinted at Kagura. The Four Great Guilds control two Samsara in this world. They really do have a strong foundation!
"How did you do that?" At this moment, the old celestial master looked at the broken magic array around him, and for the first time, a gloomy look appeared on his face.
He knew the situation in Cloud Capital. There were three layers of protective arrays around Cloud Capital. Anyone who entered Cloud Capital would be detected, especially the area around the Cloud Capital Palace. In order to ensure that the ceremony would not be interrupted, the arrays were so precise that they involved multiple layers of spatial structure. Each part was set up with great effort during the Warlock Dynasty. It was impossible for such a huge python to invade without anyone noticing.
"You think you've done it so discreetly?" Kagura said calmly, " The Warlock Dynasty was such a unique era, gone just like that, without leaving any trace. Do you think we wouldn't be suspicious?"
"The magic array outside your Cloud Capital is so sophisticated that it can be detected as soon as you get close. Such a top-notch magic array has remained untouched for the past twenty years since the dynasty was unified. Do you really think that you won't be on guard just because you don't take the initiative to attack?"
Old Celestial Master: "."
"Even if we had suspicions, if you broke our magic array beforehand, we should have known." The old celestial master still couldn't understand.
The three magic arrays, one after another, were incredibly precise. How could they have broken through three layers silently without the others noticing?
It's important to understand that many of their technologies originated from the void, and even the ancient techniques mastered by those Reincarnator cannot be easily destroyed.
"It is troublesome," Kagura laughed. "That's why we are very cautious. Ever since you sealed off Cloud Capital ten thousand years ago, we have been planning how to invade. Although I don't know what you are plotting, I am a cautious person and will never allow a mysterious and unknown force to lurk here."
"Do you know why Thousand Mechanisms Pupil was brought to this world?"
" Thousand Mechanisms Pupil?" The other person frowned. "That thing can't be used for a short time either."
Wait a minute, the other person said. Ten thousand years ago?
"Looks like you've figured it out," Kagura said with a charming smile.
Shen Qi looked at Chen Qing curiously, eager to know the reason behind it. He knew that his master's expression remained unchanged, which meant he probably knew what was going on.
" The Thousand Mechanisms Pupil can gather intelligence and predict the future to a certain extent. Although this function is very resource-intensive, their advantage lies in having enough time." Chen Qing roughly understood what was going on and explained in a low voice, "This woman has a powerful backing, with enough top-tier array masters. Although we can't break through it silently for the time being, we have the Thousand Mechanisms Pupil to help us."
"To crack a magic array, even a tiny part of it, first devise a method, then have Thousand Mechanisms Pupil predict whether it will succeed. If it succeeds, continue; if not, find another way. No matter how sophisticated the opponent's magic array is, as long as enough time is spent analyzing it step by step, even if your magic array has millions of structures, even a single mistake can raise alarms. The opponent can rely on enough array masters to deduce and slowly unlock it all!"
"Once we successfully deduce the method to unlock the magic array and find the right opportunity, we can silently break through the underground defenses and sneak in. The intense elemental fluctuations during the Four Saints Trial just now also prevented us from predicting the giant python's approach."
"Hiss, you can do that?"
Both Shen Qi and Chen Baifeng were stunned by Chen Qing's statement. After countless failed rehearsals and deductions, this method could still be used to break someone's magic array?
"You..." Upon hearing this result, the old Celestial Master's face darkened instantly. He had never imagined that such a method could be used to preemptively plan and break the formation.
"With your limited resources, you actually dare to plot such a big thing. You really have a lot of nerve," Kagura said quietly.
"This junior has certainly broadened his horizons today," the old Celestial Master said through gritted teeth.
"If this method works, wouldn't all the magic arrays in the world be useless?" Shen Qi looked at Chen Qing with doubt.
"How easy is it to imitate?" Chen Qing shook his head with a wry smile, "Do you think everyone has the Thousand Mechanisms Pupil to practice with? Do you think everyone has tens of thousands of top-tier spatial array masters to perform calculations and deductions? And the premise is that you still need enough time to deduce. The fact that the Warlock Dynasty's array has remained unchanged for ten thousand years is one of the reasons why they were targeted. They were too confident in their own array. If they had been more cautious over these ten thousand years, changing the array every hundred years... no, every thousand years, this situation would not have occurred."
That's true.
Shen Qi immediately realized that this method of deduction not only required a sufficient number of array masters, but also the ability to predict the future through the Thousand Mechanisms Pupil, and even more time for trial and error. After all, the Thousand Mechanisms Pupil consumed a huge amount of energy, and each use would likely require several days of rest. If it weren't unchanging for millennia, how could one directly break the array using this method?
The old Celestial Master's face darkened upon hearing this. He spoke so casually, changing it only once every thousand years. During the years when the Earth Spirit energy disappeared, the Earth Spirit was scarce. This kind of grand formation, capable of encircling the entire Cloud Capital, consumed countless resources, and it's changed every thousand years? What power could be so extravagant?
"Senior is indeed impressive, but even if you managed to smuggle some Heavenly Python over, do you think you've already secured victory?"
The old celestial master stared at the other party with a gloomy expression. The eyes of the Four Saints Guard flashed with a scarlet light, and a monstrous aura rose up instantly. Ten thousand Transcendent Four Saints Guard were worth a million Ghost Army. The Ancient Demon Dynasty dared to plot against the world, so it was naturally well prepared!
In terms of military strength, no force can defeat them at present, which is why he was still full of confidence even though he knew that the capital had not been completely captured!
"Who said there are only some Heavenly Python?"
The Celestial Master was stunned. Suddenly, his eyes flashed crimson as he looked at the rising palace. Only then did he realize that beneath the giant python, countless armored soldiers were crawling up from the ground.
The old master's pupils contracted; he recognized them almost instantly—they were soldiers from Jiangnan!
"You... you guys?" The old master looked at Chen Qing, never expecting that Chen Qing would cooperate with the other party.
Chen Qing remained silent. He was unaware of the current situation in Jiangnan. The Power of Faith had already reached a warning level, and he needed to reserve enough for a decisive counterattack. Therefore, after informing Wei Gongcheng of the potential internal rebellion, he had no choice but to trust his subordinates completely.
It seems your subordinates have given you quite a pleasant surprise.
But how did this come about?
"It's the West Sea Army!" Shen Qi recognized it at a glance, clearly somewhat surprised.
Chen Qing hadn't expected that it would be Tian Heng's West Sea Army that arrived, because according to his previous deductions, Tian Heng was the most likely to betray Jiangnan.
What on earth happened?
