After making an appointment with Jing Xiu and saying goodbye to her, Zhou Bai took the air corridor and descended to the bottom of Dong Hua City.
Dong Hua City was a two-thousand-meter-tall, three-dimensional city. The way up and down was made up of air corridors. Zhou Bai descended all the way to a height of about a hundred meters, which was the stratagem layer of Dong Hua City.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would not be able to come to this layer. However, after Zhou Bai tested his authority, he realized that his authority had reached level five, so he could come to this layer.
There were many stratagem layers like this in Dong Hua City to connect the Heavenly Cycle Stars Matrix that covered the entire city.
The reason why Zhou Bai came here today was because he heard that Xia Li had gone to the stratagem maintenance center of the City Defense Department for an internship. Today, she should be in charge of maintaining the Heavenly Cycle Stars Matrix in this stratagem layer.
As far as the eye could see, the entire formation layer was filled with pitch-black metal pillar-like objects that were engraved with densely packed runes. From time to time, there would be flashes of green light, as if there were lightning leaping around.
That was because the extremely dense spiritual vigor was concentrated in the huge pillars that were used to arrange the Heavenly Cycle Stars Matrix. It even produced some phenomena that interfered with the physical world.
"Such dense spiritual vigor. Is it because of the Heavenly Cycle Stars Matrix?"
Although Zhou Bai did not study the stratagem of the Earth Map, he had learned the basics of stratagems before. He understood that most of the stratagems required the use of spiritual vigor in order to display various powers that could interfere with reality.
"But such dense spiritual vigor …"
Ever since Tendo was distorted, the spiritual vigor in the entire world had been contaminated. Without any protection, both ordinary people and cultivators would be in great danger if they came into direct contact with it.
However, there was a limit to everything. With such a high density of spiritual vigor, even with the Heavenly Cycle Stars Matrix filtering, Primordial Spirit adjustment, and rune vaccines, the possibility of distortion would increase greatly.
Even Zhou Bai felt slightly uncomfortable when he was immersed in such dense spiritual vigor.
"Who are you? Without permission, you are not allowed to enter the Array Formation. "When the guards saw Zhou Bai, they immediately stopped him.
After a round of inspection and reporting, the guard looked at Zhou Bai with a gentler gaze. "Please wait here for a moment. We've already sent someone to call Xia Li."
Zhou Bai smiled helplessly, "I was too naive. The formation layer is such an important place, it must be heavily guarded. If I had known earlier, I would have left a message at Xia Li's room yesterday. I wouldn't have come here."
In the process of waiting, the guards looked at Zhou Bai with curiosity and admiration. They seemed to want to say something but were trying hard to restrain themselves.
Zhou Bai looked at their heavy armor and asked, "The concentration of Spiritual Vigor here is very high, right? Will it be dangerous to stay here for too long? "
"That's right," a guard shouted. "Give Zhou Bai a set of protective armor."
"Quick! Hurry up and put them on. "
"The concentration of Spiritual Vigor here is more than a hundred times that of the outside world. Even with the Primordial Spirit adjustment and the rune vaccine, it's still too dangerous."
Although Zhou Bai felt that he shouldn't have to worry, seeing the concerned and worried expressions on the guards' faces, he still obediently put on the protective armor.
The guard then said, "It will definitely be dangerous to stay here for too long. We basically have to change shifts every two hours."
Someone asked, "You're that Zhou Bai, right? The one who won the Four Schools Tournament? "
"Is it true that you defeated the Sky Demon in West Peak City with a sword?"
"Well fought! You have no idea how excited I was the entire night when I heard the news. I couldn't sleep. "
Zhou Bai looked at the guards who were as excited as children. He smiled and told them about the Sky Demon's experience on the battlefield.
At this moment, a group of people hurriedly carried a person over.
"Something happened! Someone is going to mutate! "
"Quick, quick, quick! Send him out first. "
"His body is starting to mutate. He can't be saved."
Looking at the group of people hurriedly sending the suspected mutated person out, the guard sighed. "Sigh, another one."
Zhou Bai asked, "Who are they?"
"Cultivation map, cultivators who maintain the array," the guard said.
Zhou Bai communicated with the guard for a while and understood. The Heavenly Cycle Star Array covered the entire city and protected 300 million people from being contaminated by Spiritual Vigor. It also had to defend against the Sky Demon's attack. This was an extremely large array that was rarely seen in human history. It was a miraculous project.
The size and complexity of the entire array was unprecedented.
Although such an array was powerful, it required continuous maintenance. The runes and treasures at the key positions had to be checked and changed regularly.
Some of the tasks could be replaced by Termination Energy, but many of the key positions needed to be driven by Primordial Spirit Energy.
Moreover, although things like Spiritual Vigor could be gathered and dispersed manually, it was impossible to completely isolate it.
As time went by, there would always be some problems, either with the body or with the mind.
The guard said, "The people in charge of entering the array layer and maintaining the Heavenly Cycle Star Array are much more dangerous than us. I admire them from the bottom of my heart. To be honest, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing. It's really risking my life. "
Hearing this, Zhou Bai nodded and thought, 'The job of maintaining the Heavenly Cycle Star Array is indeed very dangerous. I wonder how Xia Li is doing.'
Ten minutes later, a short person wearing heavy protective armor walked out clumsily. Seeing Zhou Bai, she kept waving. It was Xia Li. "Zhou Bai? Why are you looking for me here? "
Zhou Bai told her about the matter and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Xia Li nodded. "There's no problem … But are you really going to learn the second of the Five Major Mystical Powers? Isn't it a little too fast? Do you want to be like the principal and record your last words in advance to distribute your assets? "
Zhou Bai slapped Xia Li's protective armor, causing her to tremble. "Do you know how to speak?"
Xia Li hugged her head and said angrily, "Stop slapping me. I'm just worried that you might fail."
Zhou Bai pursed his lips and took out a bottle of Iceheart Pills, which he had left behind from his previous business dealings.
Zhou Bai passed it to Xia Li. "Here, it's for you. When you're here to maintain the array, take one if you feel like you can't do it. It can stabilize your mind and prevent any abnormalities. "
Xia Li grabbed the bottle and curiously opened it to take a look. Then she let out a cry of surprise, "Iceheart Pill? We only give one a month. Where did you get so many? "
Zhou Bai said, "It's a reward from the higher-ups. Keep it well. Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. "
Xia Li looked at the Iceheart Pill and then at Zhou Bai's back. She thought, 'Damn rich man, he's getting richer and richer. But I can't afford it. '
