Preparations: The Sect Guardian Grand Formation
Since the Luozhen Sect moved to Azure Jiao Marsh, its mountain gate has been set up at the entrance of Luozhen Island.
According to Li Yunjing's plan, a super-large formation will definitely be set up to protect the entire Luozhen Island.
The entrance where the mountain gate is located is the only entrance to Luozhen Island.
However, this formation is currently very difficult to set up.
Resource consumption is not a problem; the current resources of the Luozhen Sect are sufficient to support such a large-scale formation.
The only thing to consider is the formation master.
Currently, the Luozhen Sect does not have enough array masters.
Therefore, Li Yunjing could only put this idea on hold for the time being.
Upon arriving at the mountain gate, Li Yunjing summoned the control panel.
The current sect level is lv7. Upgrading requires 5,000 units of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi and 500 sect reputation points.
Five thousand units of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi were already available; Li Yunjing's storage space contained exactly five thousand units of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi.
As for sect reputation, it has already accumulated to over seven hundred.
With the upgrade requirements met, Li Yunjing silently chanted "upgrade."
[Mountain Gate (lv8)]
[Current effect: Warning range increased by 300 zhang, enhanced spiritual light, and added soul-shaking effect, effective on cultivators at the Golden Core Perfection.]
It can unleash a soul-shaking impact, obliterating cultivators who forcibly break into the mountain gate; it is only effective against cultivators at the Golden Core Perfection stage.
In conjunction with the sect's protective formation, it connects with the clouds and mist to create a maze, forming Spiritual Qi barrier to protect the Luozhen Sect.
By drawing upon the Spirit Vein of the Luozhen Sect and channeling Spiritual Qi throughout the sect via the sect's protective array, the Spiritual Qi concentration within the Luozhen Sect's territory is increased by 40%.
Together with the Sect Grand Hall, it absorbs the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi, producing 700 units of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi per month. The amount of Pure Spiritual Qi produced by the Sect Grand Hall per month increases by 50 units.
There is an 8% chance to trigger "Mountain Gate Blessing" every month, granting all disciples of the sect a "Soul Defense +30%" effect (lasting for one month).
The Spiritual Qi energy barrier now has a new "Spirit-Devouring Countershock" effect: cultivators who forcibly attack the barrier will suffer Spiritual Qi backlash equal to 15% of their attack (only effective for cultivators at the Golden Core stage and below).
[Level 9 Spiritual Effect: Increases warning range by 500 zhang, enhances spiritual light, and adds a soul-shaking effect. It is most effective on Golden Core Perfection cultivators.]
It can unleash a soul-shaking impact, obliterating cultivators who forcibly break into the mountain gate; it is most effective against cultivators at the Golden Core Perfection stage.
In conjunction with the sect's protective formation, it connects with the clouds and mist to create a maze, forming Spiritual Qi barrier to protect the Luozhen Sect.
By drawing upon the Spirit Vein of the Luozhen Sect and channeling Spiritual Qi through the sect's protective array, the Spiritual Qi concentration within the Luozhen Sect's territory Luozhen Sect by 50%.
Together with the Sect Grand Hall, it absorbs the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi, producing 900 units of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi per month. The amount of Pure Spiritual Qi produced by the Sect Grand Hall per month increases by 70 units.
There is a 12% chance to trigger "Mountain Gate Blessing" every month, granting all disciples of the sect a "Soul Defense +40%" effect (lasting for one month).
The Spiritual Qi energy barrier now has a new "Spirit-Devouring Countershock" effect: cultivators who forcibly attack the barrier will suffer Spiritual Qi backlash equal to 35% of their own attack (only effective for cultivators at the Golden Core Perfection level and below).
The sect's protective formation has been upgraded to Luozhen Island Full-Territory Guardian Grand Formation, bringing the entire Luozhen Island under its protection. The barrier's defensive capabilities have been enhanced to the point where it can withstand cultivators in the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
[Upgrade Requirements: Successfully deploy basic defensive arrays covering the Luozhen Island.]
Upon seeing the new spiritual effect that would appear when the mountain gate reached level 9, Li Yunjing was immediately taken aback.
He was just thinking about setting up a grand formation to protect the entire Luozhen Island, and now that the mountain gate has been upgraded, he can have the ability to make his words come true and his wishes fulfilled?
Li Yunjing couldn't help but laugh.
Very well, since this miraculous effect can occur after the mountain gate is upgraded, it saves Li Yunjing a lot of trouble.
The upgrade requirements are also very simple.
At this moment, a screen of light appeared in front of Li Yunjing.
The light screen displays an aerial view of the entire Luozhen Island, with the locations where array bases need to be placed marked.
Therefore, the mountain gate can be upgraded immediately.
Upon learning this, Li Yunjing immediately set up the array base according to the markings on the light screen.
Setting up the array base is very simple; all you need are array flags and some materials for setting up the array.
Li Yunjing is currently a third-grade array master, and with the help of the Ten Thousand Formations Celestial Pivot Banner, setting up the array base is a piece of cake.
In just half an hour, Li Yunjing had completed setting up all the necessary array bases on Luozhen Island.
Li Yunjing then returned to the mountain gate.
The conditions for upgrading the mountain gate have been met.
Li Yunjing immediately began to silently chant "upgrade".
[Mountain Gate (lv9)]
[Current effect:...]
The sect's protective formation has been upgraded to Luozhen Island Full-Territory Guardian Grand Formation, bringing the entire Luozhen Island under its protection. The barrier's defensive capabilities have been enhanced to the point where it can withstand cultivators in the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
[lv10 effect:...]
The Luozhen Island Full-Territory Guardian Grand Formation has added a "Spirit Vein Resonance Barrier": Consuming Earth Vein Spiritual Qi temporarily enhances the barrier's defensive power, capable of withstanding attacks from Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators (lasting one hour).
[Upgrade Requirements: Spirit Vein Pavilion Level ≥ 9]
The moment the mountain gate upgrade was completed.
Suddenly, a white dot of light appeared in the sky Luozhen Island.
The white light spot grew larger and larger in the next moment.
Immediately afterwards, beams of light, like silk threads, suddenly descended from the white light spot.
All the beams of light intertwined, forming a transparent energy shield.
The energy shield gradually descended, eventually enveloping the entire Luozhen Island.
The protective array of Luozhen Island is complete.
Li Yunjing was very pleased to see this.
This means that Luozhen Island finally has defensive capabilities.
"But that's not enough. If only the entire formation could protect the Azure Jiao Marsh," Li Yunjing thought to himself.
Azure Jiao Marsh is already the territory of the Luozhen Sect, Li Yunjing naturally does not want outsiders to interfere.
Therefore, it would be ideal to have an array to protect the Azure Jiao Marsh.
But this is just too difficult.
The area of Azure Jiao Marsh is far greater than that of Luozhen Island.
Setting up a grand formation to protect the entire Azure Jiao Marsh is something that probably only a handful of people in the entire Tianyuan can do right now.
Shaking his head, Li Yunjing returned to Grand Profound Grotto-Heaven.
Upgrading these few buildings is enough; the remaining buildings can be upgraded later.
Li Yunjing planned to conserve his strength and prepare for tomorrow's attack on Black Wind Cliff.
The next day,
Because he had an important matter to attend to today, Li Yunjing stopped cultivating very early.
Stepping out of his cave abode, Li Yunjing found the entire Luozhen Sect bustling with activity.
The two Extreme Crossing Boat have been re-energized and are carrying ample power, determined to conquer Black Wind Cliff.
In this attack on Black Wind Cliff, Li Yunjing mainly relied on two Extreme Crossing Boat.
After all, the overall strength of the Luozhen Sect is not yet sufficient.
There are too few Golden Core cultivators, and disciples with cultivation levels below Golden Core are of little use.
The combat power brought by the two Extreme Crossing Boat was far beyond what the disciples of the Luozhen Sect could match.
"It's not like Gu Anchen's research is any good." Li Yunjing thought of the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion in the Chenwei Dao Realm at this moment.
Before leaving the Heavenly Artifact Pavilion, Li Yunjing handed the design drawings to Gu Anchen, asking him to study them carefully and see if he could build it.
However, judging by the time, at most a day had passed in Tianyuan, and only an hour had passed in Chenwei.
Even if Gu Anchen is incredibly capable, this amount of time probably wouldn't be enough for him to figure anything out.
Just then, a rainbow light suddenly landed in front of Li Yunjing.
"Yunjing, everything's almost ready. When do we set off?"
