Although Wang Zhen already had a hunch that the background of the person behind the scenes definitely wasn't simple, after careful consideration, he felt a chill run down his spine.
If even Gu Shunzhi couldn't sense this person, then he had to be outside of order …
As far as Wang Zhen knew, Wang Ling was the only person in the world who could jump out of order!
"Don't scare yourself. The enemy may be very strong, but he's definitely within control," said Loopy Toad. In any case, it was a demon king and had been by Wang Ling's side day and night for so long, so it had naturally learned a lot from him.
Staying calm was the best way to deal with any unexpected situation!
"If this person really is outside of order, why did he choose to attack Earth?" Loopy Toad raised the key question.
While it was terrifying to be outside of order, there was a way to deal with it if it was within the five elements.
The reason why the other party chose to attack Earth was definitely because there was something on Earth that the other party definitely wanted, and it was highly likely that this person could obtain new abilities or multiply and improve his original abilities.
Considering the situation on Nine Dragon Mountain and the information it already knew about the other party's attempt to seize the "Nine Dragon Mountain Heavenly Vein," Loopy Toad felt that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed; the heavenly vein might just be a cover … What the other party wanted to seize might be something else.
This person was outside of order, and even Gu Shunzhi, the keeper of order, couldn't detect him. While Nine Dragon Mountain's heavenly vein master valve was the source of all the underground spirit veins on Earth, since the other party had an identity that even the keeper of order couldn't detect, why would he activate the heavenly vein master valve?
The only reasonable explanation was that the other party definitely had another purpose.
At the very least, activating the heavenly vein master valve wasn't to absorb the heavenly vein!
"Brother Dog has a point." Wang Zhen agreed with Loopy Toad's conjecture. If the other party simply wanted to seize the heavenly vein master valve, there was no need for him to go through so much trouble. He had deliberately chosen to stir up trouble during the national competition. It was a little like he was deliberately sending a signal to make people think that he was going to seize the heavenly vein …
Wang Zhen continued Loopy Toad's analysis. "If the other party's goal is to seize the heavenly vein, going through so much trouble is a little suspicious."
"So what do you think is the most reasonable explanation?"
"Everything is a cover. He doesn't want to seize the heavenly vein at all. He had chosen to act at this time to make everyone believe that he was here for the Vein of the Heavens. Apart from that, the most important thing is that the other party purposely resurrected so many people … It's highly likely that they're trying to disrupt our line of sight and stall for time. "
Speaking up to this point, Wang Zhen, Loopy Toad and Little Silver practically thought of the same keyword.
That's right!
It was the hour!
Based on the above analysis, the most important condition of the mastermind's plan was all for the sake of "time"!
A specific time, a specific characteristic, and then a specific action …
In the world of Cultivators, what kind of things needed to be considered in accordance with the "hour"?
"An array … is the other party going to set up an array?" Wang Zhen frowned.
It was common knowledge that the prerequisites for an array formation were spiritual energy, array diagrams, and seals!
These were the three basic requirements for constructing a formation as stated in the Cultivation Encyclopedia!
But in fact, apart from these three basic conditions, the Cultivation World's almighty figures actually paid more attention to the fourth condition: time.
All large-scale formations paid particular attention to the necessity of timing.
The twenty-four hours of a day were divided into twenty-four hours of feng shui, which was to say, two hours were two hours.
Feng shui changed at different times of the day. That was to say, the reason why large-scale arrays paid so much attention to timing was in fact to absorb more spirit qi of heaven and earth in the right place at the right time, so that the array could resonate with heaven and earth!
"The other party is pretending to seize the heavenly vein, but in fact doesn't need to seize it at all; he just needs to open the heavenly vein main valve. So, his real goal is to use the power of the heavenly vein to stir up feng shui and set up a huge hidden array? "Loopy Toad made its own conjecture after putting all the above together.
Then, based on this conjecture, there was a new problem …
The other party had summoned so many dead souls and resurrected them in order to stall for time: time.
He had painstakingly planned to pretend to seize the heavenly vein main valve, but in fact, he was secretly plotting to open the heavenly vein, and didn't really want to seize it. Once the conditions were met, he would be able to obtain the spirit power needed to set up the array!
Assuming that the other party already had the seals, what was the array diagram?
What was an array diagram? This became a new problem.
Since he wanted to break the array, he had to first understand the diagram.
To set up an array diagram, he naturally had to draw a circle or an oval … But Nine Dragon Mountain's terrain was complex, and there didn't seem to be any favorable conditions for setting up an array diagram.
"Don't tell me it's to use these nine peaks to circle the mountain dome?" Little Silver asked.
"I don't think so." Wang Zhen shook his head. Using the peaks of Nine Dragon Mountain and the mountain dome in the center to set up an array was too clumsy; anyone with the slightest bit of array experience would be able to see through it. Furthermore, if it was set up like this, it wouldn't be called a large-scale array at all.
Wang Zhen had once heard his parents tell the story of the war between the gods in the Domain of the Gods. In ancient times, the most outstanding array master in the Domain of the Gods could set up an array around a small country! In order to revive his country, this crazy array master chose to destroy his own country first, and then came up with the idea of setting up a large-scale array.
In order to set up this large-scale array, the crazy array master calculated the position and timing, and dug a tunnel deep underground day and night until he finally completed a perfect circle around the country. Then, he activated the array in an attempt to sacrifice the entire population of the country!
This inhumane dark array was the most notorious "Country Blood Sacrifice Array" in the battle of the gods! Once the array was formed, the souls of all the Almighties at a certain level inside the array would be sacrificed in an instant, and their bodies would turn into dust.
But this large-scale array had long been restricted, and both Earth and the Domain of the Gods were under strict control … Wang Zhen had only heard about it a few times from word of mouth since he was a child.
"If they're setting up such a large-scale array … Huaxiu Alliance shouldn't be completely unresponsive." Wang Zhen was deeply worried.
He was thinking about something …
If the layout of this array formation was a little bigger ….
What if the setup of this giant array was not limited to just one country?
What if the other party's goal from the very beginning was to use Earth as the end of the array …
