After dark, the site was still being set up.
It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that the preparations for the formation were finally completed.
This was not a pure array formation. There were also some unknown instruments and equipment set up in the surroundings.
"Okay, we just have to wait until midnight to officially start."
"Why do we have to wait until midnight?" Chen Zhao asked.
"For that snake demon to evolve into a flood dragon, it needs the right time, the right place, and the right people. Not a single one can be missing. The right time refers to the time, the right place refers to the environment and array formation here, and the right people refers to you. Tomorrow is the Opening Day, where Yin and Yang meet."
"What Genesis Day? I've never heard of it. "
"It's like the 24 solar terms. In the spiritual world, there are also Spiritual Qi Solar Terms. Some seasons have more Yang and less Yin, while others have more Yin and less Yang. Genesis Day is the first day of the Spiritual Qi Solar Terms. It's like the first day of the new year after New Year's Eve. Genesis Day is the first day when Spiritual Qi turns from more Yin and less Yang to more Yang and less Yin. It's the first day when Yin and Yang are reversed.
"Tell me more about the Spiritual Qi Solar Terms."
"After Genesis Day is Bright Yang at the beginning of April. At that time, Yang Qi reaches a high level. June is Full Yang, and June is the month when Yang Qi is the most abundant. It lasts until July 15th. Other than the Ghost Festival, it's also called Yin Opening in the spiritual world. From then on, Yin Qi will gradually increase. Mid-Autumn will be Perineum Yin, and November 5th will be Full Yin."
Zhou Yiren paused and said, "Primordial Opening, Bright Yang, Full Yang, Opening Yin, Perineum Yin, and Full Yin are the six solar terms of the Spiritual Energy Solar Terms. Nowadays, few cultivators know about these solar terms. However, in ancient times, some cultivators would cultivate or make breakthroughs according to the Spiritual Energy Solar Terms, which would indeed be helpful to their cultivation and realms. For example, Primordial Opening and Yin Opening, where the extreme of Yang produces Yin, or when the extreme of Yin produces Yang, are important turning points for breakthroughs and enlightenment. Another example is that if one's cultivation is of the Yang attribute or Yin attribute, one can also allocate the cultivation time according to the Spiritual Energy Solar Terms."
Although Chen Zhao's cultivation leaned towards Yang, he had never paid attention to things like the Spiritual Qi Solar Terms.
Now that he heard Zhou Yiren's words, he felt enlightened.
Although he wouldn't be able to break through immediately after listening to it, he could try his best to cultivate in accordance with the solar terms in the future.
"Alright … Mr. Chen, go over there and try the device. See if the input of magical power is smooth."
Chen Zhao nodded and walked to the device. There was a pair of palm prints on it.
"Place your hands on the palm print, and then use the smallest amount of mana output."
Chen Zhao obeyed and began to pour out his Mana.
The moment Chen Zhao inserted his magic power, the formation lit up.
"Mr. Chen, you can increase your Dharmic power output."
Chen Zhao increased the output and the formation grew brighter.
The other personnel in charge of monitoring the equipment and formation made an OK gesture.
"The magic power attribute is positive. The array is operating normally and the power output is stable. Just follow this output frequency," the monitoring staff said. "However, it needs to be maintained for at least an hour, possibly longer."
Zhou Yiren looked at him. "Mr. Chen, I need one or more than an hour. Do you have a problem? If you have any questions, it's best to bring them up now so that we can make backup plans. "
"Sure, no problem."
"Alright then." Zhou Yiren checked the time. "One minute countdown. Shao Jiaqiu, stand in the eye of the formation and summon the snake demon. It's about to start."
Shao Jiaqiu stood in the eye of the formation and summoned the two-legged snake.
The two-legged snake couldn't be any more well-behaved here.
Apart from Chen Zhao, there were many people here that it couldn't afford to offend.
Even if it was Zhou Yiren, who looked so ordinary.
He was also very strong.
Shao Jiaqiu still didn't know the exact process.
So, she seemed a bit nervous.
"Countdown, ten seconds, nine, eight …"
"Countdown, three, two, one … Start."
Chen Zhao started to input his magic power.
The formation lit up and Zhou Yiren commanded from the side.
"Snake demon, activate your bloodline and begin evolution."
The two-legged snake mumbled, "I'm not a snake demon. Why do you keep calling me snake demon?"
However, it didn't dare to let others hear it. It just complained.
The two-legged snake's scales started to change color from green. The color became darker and darker, as if it was congested with blood. It turned dark red and glowed faintly.
Chen Zhao's magic power was channeled into the formation through the device and then into Shao Jiaqiu.
It then flowed into the two-legged snake through Shao Jiaqiu.
Shao Jiaqiu and the two-legged snake were connected by blood.
So, they wouldn't reject each other's magic power.
The two-legged snake straightened its body in front of it.
However, the evolution process wasn't comfortable. It could even be described as extremely painful.
Many magical beasts and demons died because they couldn't endure the evolution process.
The two-legged snake knew the consequences, so it persisted.
If it relaxed even a little, it would be smashed to pieces.
It had to keep absorbing magic power to stimulate the bloodline in its body.
Bloodline and constitution were two different things, but they complemented each other.
Bloodlines forged a stronger physique, and a stronger physique gave birth to a stronger bloodline.
It had been half an hour, but the two-legged snake was still the same.
There weren't any obvious changes in its body.
Zhou Yiren cursed silently. This guy's talent was really bad.
No wonder it couldn't evolve when it was stuck on two legs.
"Mr. Chen, the evolution process might take longer this time. Do you have any problems?"
"Not at the moment." Since Chen Zhao had agreed, he wouldn't leave halfway.
The length of time didn't make much difference to him.
Finally, after another half an hour, a tumor grew out of the two-legged snake's head.
The tumor grew longer slowly. Then the outer layer of skin started aging and fading, revealing a single horn.
It finally had some characteristics of a flood dragon.
But just then, a patch of dark clouds appeared in the sky.
Zhou Yiren's heart skipped a beat.
"What's going on? Didn't you check the weather? Why are there dark clouds all of a sudden? "
Chen Zhao looked at Zhou Yiren. "What happened?"
"Mr. Chen, if it rains, you can stop using magic power."
"What? If I stop now, the snake's evolution will definitely fail. With the amount of magic it absorbed, it and Shao Jiaqiu will definitely explode. "
"I can't help it. If it rains later, there'll definitely be lightning."
"I know some lightning spells. I'm fine."
Chen Zhao had experienced the Thunder Tribulation himself when he was breaking through to the Ascension Level.
Even if the snake's evolution triggered lightning, it wouldn't be stronger than his own, so he wasn't worried.
"Mr. Chen, are you really fine?"
