Xia Ruofei first called Liu Qingfeng and asked him to arrange for all the employees to leave their posts and gather in the project department building.
The project department building was designed with a reception function, and there were not many employees left. Including the management, there were only about 50 people, so it was more than enough to accommodate them.
In addition, there were only a few posts on Peach Blossom Island that required people to be on duty at night. Most of them were at the airport, docks, and other places. Most of the time, there was nothing to do. Because there were very few foreign planes and ships that only needed to enter the port, it was not a problem for the staff to leave for one night.
Liu Qingfeng was at his most energetic at this time. He did not ask the reason for Xia Ruofei's order at all. He did not hesitate and immediately expressed that he would carry it out. He also said that no one would be left out.
Then, Xia Ruofei called the mercenary group stationed on Peach Blossom Island and told them that there was an important event on Peach Blossom Island tonight. He asked Gibson to restrain his troops and soldiers and not to leave the station without permission. Otherwise, they would have to bear the consequences if any problems occurred.
Gibson did not take Xia Ruofei's call seriously, but Xia Ruofei was his employer. Since his employer had spoken, he reluctantly agreed for the sake of the US dollars.
Of course, the most important thing was that Peach Blossom Island was isolated overseas, and there was no entertainment on the island. Soldiers would not stay in the barracks at night. Who would be stupid enough to run around?
After informing the Family Liu's employees and the mercenary group, Xia Ruofei asked Tang Hu to call back all the brothers from the Hong Sect. No one would be left at the construction site.
Xia Ruofei also told Tang Hu not to leave the temporary housing area tonight.
Regarding Xia Ruofei's order, Tang Hu naturally did not have any hesitation and immediately executed it resolutely.
Li Yifu watched Xia Ruofei make one call after another, and he became more and more excited. He had been so busy these days. Wasn't it all for this moment?
After Xia Ruofei finished the call, he looked at Li Yifu and could not help but feel a little funny. This ninety-year-old disciple of his had completely lost the steadiness that an old man of his age should have. He was fidgeting like an impatient young man.
"Yifu, it's still early!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You haven't rested these days. Go back and have a good rest. I'll wake you up in the middle of the night!"
"Martial Granduncle, how can I sleep at this time …" Li Yifu said with a wry smile, "You're still able to keep your composure …"
"If you can't sleep, let's go out and see if there's anyone waiting outside." Xia Ruofei said, "I'm going to sleep for a while!"
Li Yifu quickly said, "Yes! In that case, Martial Granduncle, please have a good rest. This disciple will go and patrol the area now! "
With that, Li Yifu bowed slightly to Xia Ruofei and strode away.
Xia Ruofei smiled and shook his head. He turned around and got into the car, driving toward the airport warehouse.
Xia Ruofei's heart was actually very excited, but it wasn't to the extent that he couldn't sleep.
After returning to the airport warehouse, Xia Ruofei first took out the core array disc and some auxiliary materials needed to start the big array from the Ring-Tu space and put them into a backpack.
Then he went to his own camp bed and lay down in his clothes. After a while, there was a slight snoring sound.
At about one o 'clock in the morning, Xia Ruofei opened his eyes.
He turned over and sat up. At a glance, he saw Li Yifu, who was not sleepy at all, sitting in the darkness not far away. Li Yifu was probably worried about disturbing his rest, so he was very careful not to make any sound.
Hearing the sound of Xia Ruofei waking up, Li Yifu quickly looked over and whispered, "Martial Granduncle, you're awake?"
Xia Ruofei stretched and said, "You really stayed up for half the night … That's great!"
Li Yifu smiled embarrassedly and said, "This disciple really couldn't sleep. I'm sorry for making a fool of myself …"
"Let's go! Let's go! "Xia Ruofei said," Whether we can succeed or not depends on this! "
Li Yifu suddenly felt refreshed and said, "Yes! Martial Granduncle! "
After the door of the warehouse opened, the two quietly walked out from inside. Then, without anyone noticing, they went over the cordon guarded by several disciples of the Hong Sect. It was impossible for ordinary people to find traces of practitioners who deliberately hid their whereabouts.
The two did not drive. After crossing the cordon, they flew directly to the west side of the island. Xia Ruofei needed to set up the core array disc of the array, and the location of the array disc had already been determined. It was on the west side of the island, about 500 meters away from the seaside cliff.
At this point, Xia Ruofei had already set up a solid cement house. The brothers of the Hong Sect had finished building it on the first day.
Although the cement was not completely dry, it did not affect the use of it.
Both of them were practitioners, so their speed was naturally very fast. Of course, Xia Ruofei could still suppress his speed. Otherwise, Li Yifu would not be able to keep up with him even if he used all his strength.
After a while, the two of them had already arrived in front of the cement house.
Li Yifu was already familiar with all the modification points. As soon as he arrived, he understood and asked, "Martial Granduncle, is this the location of the core array?"
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and said, "That's right!"
"This place is too close to the seaside. In the future, in terms of safety, will it …" Li Yifu could not help but ask.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Yifu, don't be mistaken. Once the array is activated, the entire Taixu Mystical Clear Formation will be a whole. The edge and the center are the same … Moreover, in theory, the closer you are to the core of the array, the stronger the protection will be. There is no need to worry about safety here. "
"Yes, Martial Granduncle!" Li Yifu humbly accepted the advice.
"Let's go in!" Xia Ruofei said casually.
The two of them stepped into the small cement bungalow. They were both cultivators, so they did not need to light up to easily see everything in the house.
Of course, the furnishings in the house were quite simple. To be precise, there was almost nothing. It was a bungalow with only one door and no windows. There was nothing in the house.
The only thing that stood out was the floor of the house. It was completely made of a piece of green jade. If one scanned it with their spiritual power, they would find that the inside of the green jade was as smooth as a mirror. There were mysterious array patterns scattered around.
These array patterns converged from all directions to the center. At the center of the green jade, a circular groove had been dug out.
In addition, there were three small circular holes around the groove. If these three holes were connected with a line, they would form a standard equilateral triangle.
When this piece of green jade was shipped from the United States, it was still a flat piece of green jade. The grooves and small holes were all personally processed by Xia Ruofei on Peach Blossom Island. The array patterns inside the green jade were, of course, carved by Xia Ruofei himself.
Although these array patterns were mysterious and complicated, compared to the core array plate, the level of difficulty was not just a little bit. It was simply a world of difference.
Xia Ruofei casually put his backpack on the ground and took out the core array plate from it. After pondering for a moment, he put the array plate into the groove.
As a cultivator, Xia Ruofei's precision in processing this kind of material was naturally very high. The size of the formation disk was just right for the reserved groove. After putting it in, there would not be any obstructions, and at the same time, it was done seamlessly.
Li Yifu stood aside and watched Xia Ruofei's every move nervously. He did not even dare to breathe loudly.
However, he discovered that after putting the array plate in, there was no change at all. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
At that moment, Xia Ruofei took out three crystals from his backpack with a pained expression. He muttered to himself, "I've really invested a lot this time. I hope the Star Plucking Sect is rich enough. Otherwise, it'll be a huge loss …"
Li Yifu was speechless. The Star Plucking Sect had a Golden Core cultivator in charge. Martial Granduncle was actually treating them like they were already in the bag. It was as if the Star Plucking Sect's assets were already reserved for him.
Of course, Li Yifu had blind faith in Xia Ruofei. Although he was shocked, he did not feel that Xia Ruofei was being arrogant. Instead, he felt a trace of heroism.
Xia Ruofei took out three pieces of Origin Crystals. This was a treasure that was even more precious than Spirit Crystals. Even Aurous Core Stage cultivators could use it to cultivate. For Aurous Core Stage cultivators, one piece of Origin Crystal was enough to support them all the way to the ninth layer of Aurous Core Stage. Now that he had to take out three pieces at once, Xia Ruofei's heart ached.
During the activation stage, the spiritual Qi of the formation would not come out of nowhere. In order to activate such a huge formation, the amount of spiritual Qi consumed was naturally enormous. If a normal Spirit Gathering Formation was used, it would take a lot of time just to gather the spiritual Qi needed to activate the formation.
If the matter with the Star Plucking Sect did not exist, Xia Ruofei could have set up a Spirit Gathering Formation and let it slowly absorb the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Then, it would gather at the core of the formation and continuously compress and purify it until it reached the required level to activate the formation.
Once the formation was activated, it would naturally absorb the surrounding spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Not only would it satisfy the formation's needs, but it would also increase the concentration of spiritual Qi on Peach Blossom Island. In the end, it would become a paradise for cultivation.
However, this method of activation was obviously not suitable for the current situation because the efficiency was too low.
If he wanted to scheme against the Star Plucking Sect, he would have to activate the formation instantly.
The only thing that could meet this requirement was Origin Crystals.
Therefore, in a sense, these three Origin Crystals were really used up because of the Star Plucking Sect's interference. Xia Ruofei was not being unreasonable by blaming the Star Plucking Sect for this.
Of course, the most important point was that the amount of Spirit Qi gathered at the beginning of the formation's activation would definitely not be too much. To deal with the people of the Star Seizer Sect, the formation's ability to trap or even kill them would have to be used. These functions would also require a large amount of Spirit Qi.
Therefore, Origin Crystals were needed as backup energy. If the formation was unable to continue absorbing spiritual Qi, it could be immediately absorbed from the Origin Crystals to ensure that the various functions of the formation could continue to function.
The formation patterns that Xia Ruofei inscribed on the green jade were mostly designed to realize the conversion of spiritual Qi.
The principle was somewhat similar to that of a hybrid car. When there was insufficient power, or when more power was needed to climb a slope or accelerate, the car would automatically use fuel to achieve a seamless connection and switching.
Xia Ruofei inserted the Origin Crystals into the three round holes and carefully inspected them again. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he took a deep breath. Then, he controlled a surge of spiritual power to penetrate directly into the core formation disk and lightly tapped on one of the nodes of the formation patterns …
It was as if the ignition button of a rocket had been pressed. Rays of light lit up on the formation patterns and quickly spread toward the three Origin Crystals like fire dragons.
In the blink of an eye, the Origin Crystals were lit up.
Incomparably pure spiritual Qi was continuously absorbed from the Origin Crystals and gathered toward the core formation disk through the formation patterns.
The incomparably complicated formation patterns on the core formation disk also lit up at once. The center of the formation was as dazzling as the sun.
The light emitted by that point made people unable to look directly at it. A huge amount of energy was still gathering, and the light in the center grew brighter and brighter. Soon, a ray of light shot up into the sky. The roof of the cement house did not obstruct this invisible ray of light in the slightest. The light directly rushed out of the house.
Xia Ruofei had already brought Li Yifu outside the house. As soon as the two walked out, they saw that nine positions on the Peach Blossom Island had lit up. It was as if they were resonating with the light of the core formation disk.
Those nine positions were where Xia Ruofei had placed the nine jade pillars.
The closest one to them was naturally the jade pillar on the west side of the cliff.
Immediately after, Xia Ruofei and Li Yifu both felt the world's power being stirred. The entire Peach Blossom Island seemed to be trembling.
Of course, only cultivators could observe such a phenomenon. Ordinary people might be subconsciously shocked at this moment, but they could not see anything with the naked eye.
The whole process was actually very fast. From Xia Ruofei activating the core formation disk to the jade pillars in the nine positions resonating with each other, only a few seconds had passed.
After the world's power was stirred up, it was as if a huge millstone was slowly rotating. Under this mighty force, even the roaring of the sea stopped. The waves seemed to be suppressed, and the sound of raging waves hitting the shore disappeared without a trace at this moment.
After about two seconds of stagnation, Xia Ruofei seemed to hear a rumbling sound. Then, a huge light film appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire Peach Blossom Island.
The surrounding world's spiritual Qi gathered at an extremely fast speed. Then, the core formation disk stopped absorbing energy from the Origin Crystals and started absorbing the surrounding world's spiritual Qi.
The whole process was extremely smooth. The light film did not tremble at all. It could be said that the connection was seamless.
The sound of waves disappeared, the sound of insects disappeared, and the sea breeze was blocked outside. The Peach Blossom Island was unprecedentedly quiet.
