How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 273 Feng Ji Needs to be Utilized Again

Lin Xiaosu smiled softly:

"I’ve already seen it, let’s proceed!"

Silently, Lu Sanqian stepped down from the sky and returned to the small house.

Outside the house, there were 37 people.

stood still in the courtyard, like 36 stone sculptures.

At the front was a man, around thirty years old, refined and elegant, who was Lu Sanqian’s son, Lu Rufeng.

Son, Rufeng, daughter, Rusi.

They appeared refined, but what they reflected was also the bleakness of fate.

In the former Li Palace, a hundred years of sorrow, human life was as fragile as grass, like silk in the wind...

"Young Master Lin, all the array crystals are here, and everyone you need is also brought! What to do next, please instruct us, Young Master Lin!" Lu Rusi bowed gracefully.

"I’ll go inside to prepare!"

Inside the room, there were two other people, the Peeping Heaven Elder and Feng Ji.

In front of them was a pile of array crystals.

Array crystals were a peculiar type of crystal stone, formed in the gaps of the Heavenly Dao, most capable of communication.

Array crystals with engravings form arrays and connect with the Heavenly Dao’s power, where everything becomes possible...

This was the basic understanding everyone had about arrays.

However, few knew how the array patterns were engraved and how the arrays were formed.

Today, Lin Xiaosu would open a brand new window on his cultivation path: array formation.

In Shenghua Valley, he broke the array.

And today, he would form an array.

Breaking an array and forming an array are completely different domains...

There are countless ways to break an array.

But there is one essential for forming an array!

The person forming the array must be a true Array Master.

Lin Xiaosu picked up the hexagonal array crystal on the table. This array crystal wasn’t particularly good, its quality was rather average, but it was still quite beautiful.

"Young master, I’ll stand guard outside!" said the elder as he exited the room.

The door closed from outside.

Everyone stood around the room, looking outward.

This was respect and etiquette.

Array Master engravings cannot be observed by others.

Inside the room, there were only Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji.

Feng Ji raised her eyes and looked at Lin Xiaosu, asking with her gaze if she should avoid it too.

Lin Xiaosu gently shook his head: "Senior sister, you don’t have to. After all, in Shenghua Valley, we were together."

Shenghua Valley was where his array formation journey started.

In fact, to be honest without being too far-fetched, Lin Xiaosu’s array path actually benefited from Feng Ji. If it weren’t for Feng Ji teaching him how to recognize Ancient Text, he wouldn’t have been able to decode the Circulation Array left by the Ancient Array Sect.

But Feng Ji would never think of this, as her demeanor was always cold.

Lin Xiaosu brought out the bronze pen and engraved the first pattern.

As the first engraving was completed, the array crystal began to change, the lines carved by the bronze pen played out wondrous lights under the candle flame.

One, two, three...

Ten, twenty, thirty...

Until thirty-six!

Lin Xiaosu stretched out his hand, the bronze pen vanished from his palm, his gaze lifted, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The entire process took less than an hour.

Feng Ji glanced from the thirty-six array crystals on the table to his face: "Is it done?"

"It’s done!"

"This array... compared to the Immortal Locking Array that sealed Shenghua Valley back then... which is superior?"

"Arrays are not about superiority, but about suitability."

Purely in terms of array power.

The Immortal Locking Array was far superior to the present array in countless ways.

This array couldn’t confine those in the Enlightenment Realm, while the Immortal Locking Array confined Hua Miaoyi, who was a genuine Enlightenment Realm cultivator, and she couldn’t escape.

This array could only last a day and a night, while the Immortal Locking Array could last three hundred years. If Lin Xiaosu hadn’t broken it, it could easily last another three hundred years.

Does this mean the Immortal Locking Array is more advanced?

It’s not comparable this way.

You bring the Immortal Locking Array to Xiaoyao Peak and it won’t be effective.

Why?

Firstly, the Immortal Locking Array requires extensive construction to establish the array platform. Can you undertake extensive construction under Xiaoyao Peak’s watch?

Secondly, the Immortal Locking Array can only block one side — Shenghua Valley is shaped like a bottle gourd with just one opening, hence it can be sealed. Try sealing Xiaoyao Peak? There’s simply no way.

The path of array formation tests adaptability the most.

It has no difference in superiority, only suitability...

Feng Ji nodded lightly: "The people outside have waited a long time, shall we start the setup?"

"Lord Lu, let them all come in!" Lin Xiaosu spoke.

Led by Lu Sanqian, thirty-nine people entered the room.

The room was crowded.

Yet, there was no noise.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with eagerness...

"Everyone is gathered, the array crystals are engraved, now is the final step, forming the array!" Lin Xiaosu said, "This array formation is extraordinary because we are essentially completing this millennial feat right under Xiaoyao Palace’s nose. Hence, no one must make a single mistake. I’ll explain the specific operations, everyone must pay close attention..."

Everyone held their breath, completely still.

Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, and the thirty-six array crystals he had just engraved flew towards the thirty-six individuals.

"Array formation requires strict positioning!" Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, activating the Dragon Eye. The Dragon Eye projected high-resolution photos taken from the sky into the room. The Dragon Eye was truly remarkable, not only were the photos detailed, it also offered holographic projection with adjustable size, exuding a technological feel.

Everyone’s eyes lit up...

Such a projection method had never been seen before...

Because this was modern technology.

However, they were all familiar with the scene before their eyes — Xiaoyao Peak.

"I will mark the positions of the array bases on this projection. Lord Lu, divide the people to ensure each position has one person. When the time comes, activate simultaneously..."

Forming an array is an extremely complex process and also a highly detailed one.

Positions cannot be incorrect, everyone must not make mistakes. If one person errs, the array cannot be complete and thus won’t be effective at all.

If the array fails, and Xiaoyao Palace becomes alerted, they will undoubtedly crush the Li Palace with overwhelming force.

Therefore, this is an extreme strategy, a path to life through death.

This is a delicate scheme where one person’s mistake will ruin everything.

The thirty-six took the command!

Everyone’s faces showed expressions of solemn resolution!

A hundred-year plan had come down to the final step. In the dire situation, finally seeing a glimmer of hope ignited the fervent hearts of these Li Palace elites...

Lin Xiaosu finished explaining, Lu Rusi stepped forward: "Uncles and elders, you used to gather firewood and hunt under Xiaoyao Peak, tomorrow, you might still gather firewood and hunt!"

Lu Rufeng nodded: "Sister’s idea is excellent, change clothes, take the woodcutting knife, disperse and silently move to the assigned positions, wait for orders."

"Yes!" The thirty-six answered the command in unison.

Lu Sanqian looked at Lin Xiaosu: "Young master Lin, is there anything else you need us to do?"

"Everyone here are seasoned masters, there is no need for extra instructions from me. Just do as planned, tomorrow morning disguise and leave the city, ensure you are in position before noon, and activate at noon sharp!"

"We follow the young master’s command!" The thirty-six seasoned masters replied without hesitation.

Lu Rusi stepped forward and came to Lin Xiaosu: "Young master Lin, sister, you two have worked hard all night, please come to the guest room to rest."

The guest room was already open.

As they reached the guest room, it seemed like a gust of wind had blown through, causing the people in the courtyard to vanish without a trace.

Two maids brought supper, Lin Xiaosu ate supper and went to bed.

Last night, he hadn’t slept. Tonight, he had stayed up for half the night again.

Although he had built the Blood Tower, and his energy was still up, facing the crucial battle tomorrow, he decided to have a good night’s sleep.

He got into bed and quickly fell asleep.

At dawn, the birds’ chirping in Chishui City woke Lin Xiaosu from his sleep.

Birds chirping existed in every world.

Though in the modern world, bird chirping had become rare.

Lin Xiaosu opened his eyes, feeling his mind clear as if washed by water.

Everything was ready, and his key move to enter Kun Cang was to be initiated today!

A gentle knock on the door echoed...

Lin Xiaosu opened the door and saw Feng Ji.

At this moment, without a mask, Feng Ji held a tray and smiled brightly: "The maid was going to bring you breakfast, but I intercepted it because I have something to ask you."

"Ask away!" Lin Xiaosu smiled.

Feng Ji placed the tray before him: "First, have your meal, I don’t want to disturb your appetite."

Lin Xiaosu ate his meal, Feng Ji closed the door.

After breakfast, a cup of tea was handed to him.

Feng Ji slowly raised her head: "Your brilliant plan, presented last night, was indeed exquisite. However, there is one huge variable within it, do you realize?"

"Senior sister, please tell!" Lin Xiaosu lifted his teacup.

Feng Ji said: "The array in Xiaoyao Palace truly targets Dongfang Lie. However, Dongfang Lie is no fool. If he doesn’t fall for your trick, the entire plan will be ruined."

While saying this, Feng Ji’s expression was very serious.

This hidden worry wasn’t only hers, it was shared by Lu Rusi as well.

When Lin Xiaosu hadn’t yet woken up, Lu Rusi had already approached Feng Ji to raise this concern...

The two girls had analyzed the issue together and felt uncertain.

They wanted to bring it up to Lin Xiaosu immediately.

However, since he was sleeping, they didn’t want to disturb him.

Now that he was awake, Feng Ji brought it up at once...

Watching Lin Xiaosu’s reaction closely, Feng Ji saw no change in his expression as he continued drinking tea.

Such a calm expression...

While not completely reassuring, it did provide a bit of comfort, as at least his face didn’t change color, indicating that the issue was not an unexpected blow to him.

Feng Ji breathed lightly: "Xiaoyao Palace is a large palace with strong crisis awareness. Learning that their sect’s main peak is surrounded by a grand array would certainly cause chaos and panic. Based on conventional judgment, if the elders cannot break the array and discern the cause, the sect master, as the only one capable of escaping the grand array, should make a heroic effort to break out, at least to see what’s happening... This is your reason for believing that Dongfang Lie will surely break out, right?"

A long explanation was the result of Feng Ji and Lu Rusi’s discussion.

By usual analysis, Dongfang Lie should break out.

Because that aligns with the philosophy of the sect.

However, there’s no rule stating that one must follow conventional paths...

This was why their confidence was shaky.

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "Based on conventional judgment, there’s an eighty percent chance that Dongfang Lie will break out!"

"Eighty percent... Is that enough?" Feng Ji asked.

"Absolutely not enough!" Lin Xiaosu replied.

"So?" Feng Ji’s heart pounded...

"So we must add an incentive!"

"An incentive? How?"

Lin Xiaosu said: "At noon, senior sister, wear your mask and strike, destroy Xiaoyao Tower!"
