Eh … the Pill Emperor was speechless. This brat's narcissism hadn't changed at all. Although the Sovereign Pill was very beneficial to Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators, Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators rarely had the chance to eat it. There was only one reason: the ingredients were too rare, and the people who knew how to refine it were even rarer.
Even the few ingredients the Pill Emperor had were secretly obtained from the Zhuo Residence. Du Feng's Cultivation in the Ultimate Emperor Realm had mainly relied on the Blue Residence's underground spirit vein and the Sky Demon Qi. If he had the pills earlier, he might have already reached the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm Level Nine Cultivation.
"Don't be so smug. Don't you still need to set up the formation?"
The two chatted for an entire night, but Du Feng still hadn't finished setting up the northern continent's Great Barrier Formation. Every day the formation wasn't set up was another day he couldn't leave in peace.
"Alright, alright, I'll go set up the formation now."
After working for an entire night, the sun had already risen. In any case, Du Feng wasn't sleepy. He went out and started setting up the Great Barrier Formation. The formation had to start from the outermost layer, which was the edge of the coast. Not only did it have to be set up at the edge, but it also had to be protected at the top. Otherwise, even if the top was protected, the ice layer below would be destroyed.
This was an extremely large project, but no one could help. There was no other way. Du Feng could only work by himself. At first, everyone was curious and followed him around the coast. After a long time, they still couldn't understand what they were looking at, so they slowly dispersed.
It took fifteen days to set up the outermost layer. Just the first layer of defense took so long. It had to be said that the northern continent was simply too large. It wasn't that Du Feng wanted to stop, but that he had no choice but to stop. He didn't have enough formation flags.
He felt like he would never be able to use up the hundreds of thousands of formation flags that he normally stored. A Five Elements Formation or Seven Star Formation could be set up with just a few or a dozen flags. Even for a large-scale killing formation, a hundred flags were enough. Even the pirates protecting his mother, Liu Fei, had only used a thousand and eighty-eight flags.
But the northern continent was different. Its territory was the size of several Rank 5 countries combined. The ice layer was naturally weaker than the rock layer, so it had to be well protected. He had used up all of Du Feng's stock of more than a hundred thousand, and he had only managed to make the outer skin.
"Just take it. I knew you weren't prepared enough."
Du Feng stopped and stretched his neck. Just as he was about to return to the Ice King Palace to refine another batch of array flags, the Pill Sovereign came over to him. Although the Alchemy Sovereign specialized in alchemy, he also had a certain level of attainment in array formations. Back then, the old housekeeper of the Pill Emperor Island was an expert in formations.
The Alchemy Sovereign did not know how to set up an array formation at the level of the Nation Protecting Grand Array. However, it was not a problem for him to refine some array flags. During these 15 days, Du Feng had been throwing out array flags while Alchemy Sovereign had been refining array flags in the Ice King Palace. He estimated that it was about time to use it. When he came out, he saw Du Feng standing there empty-handed.
"Haha, it seems like you understand me the best."
Du Feng took the storage ring from the Alchemy Sovereign. It was filled with brand new array flags. In this way, he did not need to waste time refining array flags. All he needed to do was set up the array formation. The outer defensive array of the northernmost continent had already closed up. Ice City and the Ice King Palace were not in a hurry. He needed to deal with the ice layer under the water first.
"Hurry up and go down. Stop showing off here."
In the entire northernmost continent, probably only the Alchemy Sovereign dared to scold Du Feng like this. He told him to hurry up and get down to work instead of standing on the shore and showing off.
"Alright, I'll go now."
Du Feng agreed, then dove into the ice-cold water. Apart from the fifteenth of every month, normal people did not dare to jump into a place like the Arctic Ocean. That was because they would immediately be frozen. Only ships made of special materials or sea beasts and members of the Dragons with special constitutions dared to swim in the Arctic Ocean.
But to Du Feng, who was in the Ultimate Emperor Realm, this was not a problem at all. His True Yuan flowed along the surface of his body. The icy water could not even get close to him. Not only that, but the circulating True Yuan could also propel him and increase his swimming speed.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …"
Large amounts of array flags were tossed out by Du Feng as if they were free. After entering the ice layer, they all disappeared. The amazing thing about array flags was that they could be fused with other objects. If he wanted to protect the water, once the water was disturbed, the array flags would also move, which could easily destroy the array formation. But entering the ice layer was different. He could turn the entire northernmost continent into an ice fortress.
By the time Du Feng came out of the Arctic Ocean, it was already more than twenty days later. After all, setting up an array formation in the water was slightly larger than on the surface, so it would take a longer time. At this point, the two cone-shaped barriers under the northernmost continent had officially merged together.
"It's not enough again!"
When Du Feng came ashore, the Alchemy Sovereign was already waiting for him. He was very clear that the array flags from before were almost all used up.
"Mm, it'll take a while."
For the safety of everyone in the northernmost continent, Du Feng was really going all out. Although the Queen of the Northernmost Continent had treated everyone quite well, she had not gone all out for the sake of the commoners. Even if he wanted to protect his friends and family, he could have just set up the array in the Ice King Palace. If he had a larger area, he could have extended it to the base of the city walls. Covering the entire northernmost continent was really too difficult.
Next, he needed to add a second line of defense, which was using the city walls as the boundary. The Great Nation-Protecting Array was not just for defense. At the same time, it could confuse, attack, and trap people. If someone broke through the first line of defense and stepped onto the northernmost continent, they would suddenly find themselves lost, stuck in a quagmire, or entangled by all sorts of poisonous vines as they advanced from the shore to the base of the city walls.
If someone even broke through the city walls, they would have officially entered the range of the killing array. Lightning strikes, fire bursts, earth spikes, stone spears, frost swords, and all sorts of large-scale destructive attacks were waiting inside the city walls.
Although the area to be set up was much smaller, it would still take a lot of time because the array formation was more complicated. After protecting the entire Ice City, what was left was the most important thing, which was the Ice Monarch Palace where his family and friends lived.
