Setting up the Formation
"Heaven and Earth are positioned, mountains and lakes communicate, thunder and wind interact, water and fire do not clash!"
"Qian is the head, Kun is the belly, Zhen is the feet, and Dui is the mouth!"
In Xuanming's Fortune Technique, the city of Wodila belongs to the four-legged position in the south.
If the array flags are used as a guide, the four flags will be positioned in the four directions, and the first flag will be positioned in the capital. When collecting the luck bead, the tail flag will be used to receive it and connect with the other six array flags, just like a turtle laying eggs to obtain the luck gain.
This is the first time Zhang Xuezhou has seriously sought out a feng shui site to determine the Aomeijia Alliance.
Like a scientific expedition team, he had to travel around searching.
The bad thing was that it was his first time doing something like this, so he didn't have much experience.
One good thing is that he has a wide field of vision. Not only does he have a telescope, but he can also patrol around in an aircraft or simply rely on his own flight power to travel around.
"I now stand as a pillar facing the nation, the twenty-four mountains as my Holy Spirit. The divine spirit has bestowed upon me the brush of this land, which I can use to shape eternity, to illuminate the heavens and the earth, to grant longevity to all, and to ensure the Lord's Spirit is present!"
Zhang Xuezhou chose a spot in the mountains near the city of Wodila to set up the flag. He erected the flag as if planting a tree, and from time to time chanted incantations according to the prescribed procedure.
His approach is largely similar to Xuanming's Fortune Technique.
The fact that Xuanming could use it to drive the three small worlds to seek the Qi Luck Pearl, and that Huang Daoxian was able to successfully implement it, shows that Xuanming's Qi-stealing Fortune Technique has a relatively good adaptability in terms of adapting to local customs.
Zhang Xuezhou's differences stem from "The Scarlet Bird Formation Qi Dao" and "The Five Elements Flag Fortune Dao".
Just as Ren Anran constantly tested the Heavenly God General Medicine and the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique with the Void Furnace, Zhang Xuezhou was also making corrections based on his own cultivation Fortune Technique when testing with the Aomeijia Alliance.
He cultivated a fast-growing beechwood flagpole, and finally, after dripping blood and pressing his fingerprint, he completed the planting of the flag.
"One person needs to stay here to prevent sabotage!"
"I'm stationed here!"
After making some arrangements, Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the opening on the flagpole.
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Bufan, who was rather calm and composed, had already agreed.
"My strength is only enough to defend second- or third-tier areas like Wodila City," Zhu Bufan said with a wry smile.
"Don't be ashamed. I haven't even entered the Seventh Sequence yet. I'm a step weaker than you," Zhao Tianhua said in a muffled voice.
"Please wait patiently!"
Zhong Rang whispered.
The Seventh Sequence that Zhao Tianhua lacks, and the sequence lock that Zhu Bufan lacks, are conditions that are significantly different from those of the others.
The former would require the Aomeijia Alliance to suffer a significant loss before it could be relinquished, while the latter would require Zhang Xuezhou and others to further enhance their strength before it could be possible to quickly unlock the sequence lock for Zhu Bufan, who had already reached the Seventh Sequence.
Of course, very few people in the current high-sequence group possess sequence locks, and there are none abroad at all. Zhu Bufan's strength is more than enough to guard a flag.
No one understood Zhang Xuezhou's eccentric behavior; they simply interpreted it as a request for divine favor from the Tuer God Zhang Xuezhou.
"Luo Gaogao said there are quite obvious patrols and searches in Wodila City, so be careful when you stay here," Song Xianzhong said.
"We forcibly requisitioned four aircraft at Oudilla Airport. Their patrols are targeting the aircraft and won't affect this flag!"
Zhu Bufan pointed to the aircraft parked on the hillside, indicating that he would be careful.
"We'll be going now, our next stop is Ponderworth!"
Zhang Xuezhou pointed in the direction, indicating the location he needed to search next.
Their journey would take a long time, and this Fortune Technique also involved supporting the rebels' actions. They would need to wait until the rebels took power and declared themselves emperors. Adding to that the time it would take for Zhang Xuezhou to travel to different worlds, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the overall progress would likely take about three months.
Maintaining contact among the group was not difficult. No matter how advanced the communication Aomeijia Alliance was, it would not prohibit civilian communication. Everyone had a communicator from the Aomeijia Alliance, so they could maintain relatively smooth communication anytime, anywhere.
"Why does this way of planting flags, Young Master Zhang, seem familiar?"
Among the crowd, only Xu Lu seemed somewhat confused and puzzled.
He looked at the blue banners fluttering with gold threads, feeling as if he had heard similar information before, but he couldn't quite recall it to make a comparison.
Xu Lu eventually lay down in the aircraft with everyone else, letting Zhang Manqian and the others control the aircraft, which had lost its communication system, and shuttle through the air.
"This method of freely controlling aircraft wasn't used by Qinmeng, but rather by the Aomeijia Alliance!"
Zhang Manqian was called over because she is skilled in aircraft piloting. She does not require aviation guidance, can adapt to most climates, can manually pilot the aircraft freely, and can also make relatively safe and reliable landings in the wild.
Qinmeng's situation stemmed from a lack of infrastructure and underdeveloped satellite technology, while the Aomeijia Alliance actively severed control over the flight communication system, depriving the aircraft of navigation and other related functions, leaving it to rely solely on technical expertise for piloting.
One aircraft leads the way, and three aircraft follow.
Beneath many of the aircraft were array flags strapped to them. Ren Anran glanced at the somewhat stiff-looking Xu Lu sitting to her left, then looked at Zhang Xuezhou in the co-pilot's seat in front of her.
"The more you rely on something, the more passive you will be when a crisis occurs. Only simplicity is practical," Zhang Xuezhou replied.
"Simple and practical..."
After Zhang Xuezhou replied, Ren Anran seemed to remember something and became somewhat dazed, sitting in the back of the aircraft.
Simple and practical!
Seeing that Ren Anran seemed to have been touched, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but smile wryly.
Ren Anran may pursue simplicity and practicality, while Zhang Xuezhou pursues complexity.
The more complex and difficult the problem, the more advantageous it is for Zhang Xuezhou. Either he solves the complex problem, or the complex problem stops others. Almost everything he has built is based on complexity.
Ren Anran has entered the Divine Ability Realm and then the Seventh Sequence. The Mental Strengthening Chapter has even reached its seventh chapter, and he has already embarked on his own path of cultivation.
This path of cultivation is completely different from Zhang Xuezhou's, yet it suits Ren Anran perfectly.
This made Zhang Xuezhou quite hopeful.
For example, much of Zhang Xuezhou's knowledge is not suitable for passing on to others. Even Zhang Manqian suffered a lot following him. Ren Anran's simplification might bring about a difference and could also help others.
"Aircraft are coming! My team can't shake them off; they've already opened fire from behind!"
When Zhang Manqian called out, Zhang Xuezhou quickly looked up and gazed into the distance.
Zhang Manqian's flying skills were top-notch, while the pilots following behind were inferior, even when Ren Yisheng personally took control.
Lacking the assisted piloting capabilities of the flight communication system, Zhang Manqian, mindful of the aircraft following behind, dared not recklessly fly at high speeds, allowing the flight squadron of Wodila City to pilot their aircraft in pursuit.
The aircraft lost the connection of communication equipment and could not communicate with each other. It could only rely on its senses to judge the behavior of the pursuing aircraft.
Zhang Manqian turned to Zhang Xuezhou and said something. Zhang Xuezhou picked up the large-caliber rifle from the platoon seat, pushed open the hatch, and fired a burst of shots at the pursuing forces.
No different from his actions, some of the people behind him opened the hatches and fired back directly.
It must be said that firearms are far more practical in aerial combat than Technique Method and hand-to-hand combat.
Firearms don't need to be used to kill people; simply damaging an aircraft can cause a plane crash.
Unlike the Sequence Holder, the aircraft does not have a protective layer. It is extremely difficult for the pilot to dodge bullets when operating such a heavy vehicle, especially when it is fired by skilled shooters like Zhang Xuezhou.
As Xu Furnace commented, the technological flying tools in the world today are as fragile as a piece of paper, with no other advantages besides being able to fly.
