The metal ball did not look big from the outside, but there was another world inside. As soon as Xia Pingan entered it, he found that it was extremely large. There were pavilions, terraces, gardens, and waterside pavilions. There were many courtyards inside, just like the courtyard of a wealthy family. The place where they appeared was the square at the entrance of the courtyard. The surrounding area was quite spacious, with arched doors and corridors leading to different courtyards.
Except for Xia Pingan, the others entered through an empty door one after another. As soon as they passed through the empty door, their belongings, elixirs, weapons, and Red-crowned Crane Everlasting Lanterns all flew out. They could not hide anything even if they wanted to.
The people of Wan Shen Sect had also obtained hundreds of Red-crowned Crane Everlasting Lanterns.
In addition to these Everlasting Lanterns, only the people involved knew whether they had gained anything else after entering the Divine Palace.
"Ahem, Elder Li, I have a lot of things in my space-teleportation equipment. Do I need to pass through the empty door too?" Xia Pingan asked cleverly.
Elder Li glanced at Xia Pingan and calmly shook his head. "No, you're not a member of Wan Shen Sect in this exploration of the Land of the Fallen Gods, so you don't need to check …" In fact, Elder Li thought that no matter how lucky Xia Pingan was, it was impossible for him to obtain two fragments of Divine Tools in the palace. Previously, Xia Pingan had given the fragment to Immortal Xia Pingan and Immortal Minghe had acknowledged it in public. At this time, it was useless to say anything. If he were to be rude to Xia Pingan, he would appear to be stingy. Therefore, he simply ignored it. However, in his heart, Elder Li thought highly of Xia Pingan's character and secretly admired him.
"Ahem, in addition to that Everlasting Lantern, I've also obtained some other Everlasting Lanterns. I'll give them to Wan Shen Sect. Elder Li, please check them. I've done my part …" Xia Pingan was very thick-skinned, or rather, he had a good attitude. As he spoke, he waved his hand and took out dozens of Red-crowned Crane Everlasting Lanterns and put them aside. This was a contribution to Wan Shen Sect, so others had nothing to say.
Elder Li waved his hand and put away all the Everlasting Lanterns. Of course, he had ways to check whether there were any other strange items or fragments of Divine Tools in the Everlasting Lanterns.
"Elder, we've encountered an accident in the Land of the Fallen Gods. We've tried our best … but those huge snakes have been killed....... But we didn't use the method that we discussed before to deal with them............. Are we still able to integrate the Realm beads of Sage Masters?" Gu asked shamelessly when he saw Elder Li... was.........
Qu Yitong and the others also looked at Elder Li!
As summoners, the reason why they were willing to take the risk to participate in this mission was because of the conditions promised by Wan Shen Sect.
"I have to report to the sect about this accident, so we'll talk about it when we get back to Immortal City. Don't worry, Wan Shen Sect won't let those who work for the sect suffer!" Elder Li replied calmly, comforting everyone. Then, with a wave of his hand, he gave Xia Pingan a key and pointed to a courtyard not far away. "Long Huan, you can stay in the Celestial Rain Garden. The house there is still empty. Rest here for five days and we will reach the Immortal City. Everyone is a little tired these days, so rest well here!"
"Okay!" Xia Pingan took the key.
Elder Li didn't say anything else. He walked directly to the courtyard in front, closed the door, and disappeared in front of everyone.
Qu Yitong glanced at everyone and said in a low voice, "The sect has a gag order for this mission. Everyone is not allowed to talk about it when we get back. If anyone asks about Junior Fan, just say that you don't know …"
"Those who can join the Ten Thousand Gods Sect should be mentally prepared for this kind of thing …" Hong Endao shook his head and smiled bitterly. "The road to becoming a god is not so easy. All the resources are obtained with blood, sweat, and life …"
"I'm not thinking about becoming a god …" Gu Yulong looked around and sighed. "I just want to reach the Energy Shaping Realm. I'll be satisfied. As long as I leave the Godslaying Bug World, Energy Shaping Realm experts are the top figures everywhere. I'm not satisfied with the Reflection Realm. Oh right, Junior Long, to be honest, I admire you. You actually took out the Divine Weapon Fragment. If you had thought of a way to fool Lord Ming He and then handed the Divine Weapon Fragment to Wan Shen Sect, you wouldn't have to worry about cultivation resources in the future …"
"Since I've already made a promise, I can't go back on my words. I can't forget about the benefits. Even if I can reach the Divine Focus Realm in the future, what's the point?"
Gu Yulong directly gave Xia Pingan a thumbs up.
"Oh right, Junior Long, how did you find out that the Crane Altar Lamp was a Divine Weapon Fragment?" Qu Yitong asked. This question had been on everyone's mind for a long time.
Xia Pingan scratched his head honestly, "I don't know either. When I saw that everyone was searching for something in the palace, I wandered around casually. When I arrived there, I found those Immortal Crane Eternal Bright Lanterns were very delicate. Therefore, I prepared to take a look at one of them. Unexpectedly, that Immortal Crane Eternal Bright Lantern was a bit special!"
"Was it also a coincidence that Junior Long obtained the Soul Splitting Secret Technique to refine Soul Weapons?" Gu Yulong looked envious.
"Well, it's about the same. I was just walking around, and somehow I found it …"
"It seems that Junior Long is very lucky. Others can't learn it even if they want to!" Hong Endao looked at Xia Pingan enviously and sighed.
"Alright, everyone is tired these days. Let's go back and rest …" Qu Yitong said as he turned around and walked towards a courtyard.
After staying in the Fallen God Land for seven days, everyone was indeed tired. After hearing Qu Yitong's words, everyone went their own ways.
Xia Pingan took the key and walked towards the corridor that Elder Li had pointed out. After a few minutes, he arrived outside a courtyard. There was a garden outside the courtyard. The garden was filled with plum blossoms and there was a rockery with flowing water. It was very quiet and secluded. Xia Pingan looked at the words "Celestial Rain Garden" hanging above the entrance of the courtyard. He opened the door with the key and entered the courtyard directly.
As soon as he entered, the courtyard door automatically closed.
The courtyard occupied an area of two to three mu. Xia Pingan lived here alone. There was a secret room, a bedroom, a hall, and a small courtyard in the courtyard.
Besides Xia Pingan, there were a few wooden puppets in the courtyard. When Xia Pingan entered, the two wooden puppets in the courtyard started to get busy. They made tea for Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan released Child of Fortune and summoned the Black Dragon. He walked around the courtyard and didn't find anything strange. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
Ever since he met True Monarch Styx River, he had been through a lot. However, he had gained a lot.
After drinking two cups of tea, Xia Pingan looked at the wooden puppets that swayed as they walked. He thought of the book "Kunlun Array Mechanisms Collection" that Zhuge Liang had given him.
In any case, he still had to stay here for five days. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well study array mechanisms.
As soon as this idea popped up, Xia Pingan couldn't sit still. He put down his teacup and went to the secret room. He rubbed his hands and started to prepare.
Array formations were very useful. Let's start with array formations.
Array formations weren't illusory things. For an array formation master, mountains, rivers, constellations, even a few stones, flowers, trees, and soldiers could be used to set up array formations. Zhuge Liang's "Eight Front Formation" used mountains, rivers, and stones to set up array formations.
However, to a Summoner, an array set up using the terrain of the mountains and rivers was a Fixed Array. A Fixed Array could not be taken away. It was like a fixed asset that could only be used to guard important places, such as sects, secret realms, cities, and secret residences.
Summoners liked array discs the most. Array discs were living arrays that could be carried around. When needed, they could be taken out. It was simple, efficient, and could be used repeatedly.
Xia Pingan recalled the knowledge he had grasped in his mind and began to refine his first array disc.
For a summoner, refining an array disc was a bit like making a special sand table model. The sand table model could be ever-changing, including mountains, rivers, and the universe. It was the same for an array disc. An array disc was actually a miniature array world.
The most common metals used to make array discs were gold, silver, and copper. Of course, iron could also be used. However, most array formation masters would choose gold, silver, and copper as the base material of the array disc. Some array formation masters would choose more special metals, or add some gems or even poisons. This also made the array discs refined by different array formation masters have ever-changing characteristics.
Xia Pingan used gold. He still had a lot of gold coins in his space warehouse.
Xia Pingan took out a pile of gold coins and placed them on the table in front of him. Then, he made a series of hand gestures. The gold coins on the table slowly floated up under the guidance of his hands. Then, they were surrounded by a scorching flame.
In the scorching flame, the gold coins gradually turned into a liquid and turned into a ball the size of a lead ball. Then, the ball slowly flattened and gradually turned into a disk.
As Xia Pingan continued to make hand gestures, the disk also kept changing shape. Half an hour later, the golden disk had completely cooled down. The disk was covered with mysterious array patterns that looked like a Tai Chi diagram. There were also two special grooves in the array patterns.
Xia Pingan picked up the disk and looked at it. He found that the disk didn't have any major problems except that it didn't look delicate enough and was slightly rough.
After all, it was understandable that it was his first time refining an array disc.
This disk wasn't an array disc. It was just an embryonic form of an array disc. It was an embryonic form of an array disc.
For this embryonic form, Xia Pingan used the most common embryonic form of the Yin-Yang Two Forms Array.
After placing the embryonic form, Xia Pingan took out a handful of gold coins and began to make hand gestures to smelt them. After a while, the gold coins turned into liquid again. The liquid turned into two small golden swords.
After the hand gestures were finished and the disk cooled down, Xia Pingan obtained two small golden swords that were more than two inches long. Looking at them carefully, the small golden swords were densely covered with array patterns that were difficult for others to understand.
These two small swords were the array tools of the array disc.
Xia Pingan inserted the two small golden swords into the grooves of the embryonic form of the array disc. With two clicks, the two swords fit perfectly.
As soon as the two small swords were inserted, the embryonic form of the array disc slowly rotated as if it had a life of its own.
The combination of the embryonic form of the array tool only formed the base of the array disc.
Of course, this wasn't the end. An array disc wasn't that easy to refine. Although Xia Pingan wanted to refine the simplest array disc of the Yin-Yang Sword Array as practice, there was still a lot of work to be done. The most important thing was the arrangement of the array eye and the array door.
As Xia Pingan made a hand gesture, the array disc suddenly floated up. The two small swords flew out of the array disc and revolved around the embryonic form of the array disc like two fish in a Taiji diagram.
Xia Pingan's hands made a series of hand gestures. Every ten minutes or so, he inserted balls of colorful divine power array patterns into the array disc.
As Xia Pingan inserted the patterns, the array disc flashed and grew bigger and bigger. Gradually, it became as big as a millstone and rotated above Xia Pingan's head.
One day later …
As Xia Pingan inserted the last array pattern, the array disc suddenly emitted a golden light.
Success!
Xia Pingan was overjoyed.
But his joy didn't last for more than three seconds. Xia Pingan found that the first array disc he had refined began to shake violently. The array patterns in the array disc began to melt and the spatial energy in the secret room, which was affected by the array disc, began to become chaotic and irritable.
"Not good …" Xia Pingan quickly summoned a water shield to protect himself.
"Boom …" With a loud sound, the first array disc that Xia Pingan had made exploded. Smoke curled up and countless golden fragments scattered in all directions like bullets.
Xia Pingan's face was covered in dust.
The first array disc had failed!
Fortunately, the secret room was surrounded by iron walls. It had considered all kinds of situations and had a strong protective ability. The destruction of the array disc didn't cause much damage to the secret room.
However, Xia Pingan was not discouraged. When everything in the secret room calmed down, he collected all the scattered fragments of the array disc and put them in front of his table. He put all the fragments together and reassembled them into the shape of the previous array disc. He began to analyze and study it bit by bit to see where the problem was.
A few hours later, Xia Pingan had a thoughtful look on his face. "I was inexperienced when inserting the array pattern. The array pattern was a little squeezed and deformed, and finally melted …"
After thinking for a moment, he pinched his fingers and the broken golden fragments once again floated in the air and began to be interrogated by the flames.
Xia Pingan began to refine the array embryo again.
A moment later, a new array embryo was refined. Compared to the previous one, it looked much more exquisite.
After a while, two small golden swords were refined and inserted into the array embryo again.
Another day passed, and the golden light in the secret room once again flourished.
The table-sized disk array finally spun in the air and turned into a golden light that steadily fell into Xia Pingan's palm, shrinking to the size of his palm.
Looking at the array disc in his hand, Xia Pingan laughed loudly. The first array disc of the Yin-Yang Sword Array that he had refined was completed.
Xia Pingan held the array disc and was happy for a while. He then said to himself, "If I add flames and icicles to the Yin-Yang Sword Array, the damage should be greater. But in this way, the previous array embryo needs to be adjusted a little and new array pattern needs to be added. Well, I can give it a try …"
After thinking about it in his mind, Xia Pingan put the completed array disc into his interspatial equipment and then took out a pile of gold coins to refine a new array embryo …
