Just Now, Zhang Yan had a flash of inspiration. He suddenly remembered that the proper Earth Virtue Array was to refine the mountains, rivers, and rivers into the map. Those who did not have the ability to do so could only draw the mountains and rivers and move the Spiritual Qi to set up the array. Although he didn't have the time to do it, he had a True Weapon by his side, and it was innately able to carry the Mountain and River Projection, which was somewhat similar to the formation diagram. If he could use this treasure to set up a formation, would he be able to evolve the formation diagram?
He pondered for a while and thought about it again and again. In the end, he shook his head.
Even if this path could be taken, it was not something that he could achieve with his current attainments in arrays. It would not be too late to make plans after he understood the Array Essentials and the Hui Heng Detailed Book in the future.
However, other than that, he had another idea. Without the Essence Prisoner Pot, using the Mountain River Map as a replacement for the array might be feasible.
The Essence Prisoner Pot relied on the essence of eight water dragons to hold the array. Although Lu Yuanxing's cultivation was not good enough and he could only control two water dragons, it did not hinder him from using this array. At most, he could not display the full power of this array.
Although the Mountain River Map did not have any essence, it could absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Zhang Yan thought that he could take some spiritual veins of the mountains and rivers and plant them in the Mountain River Map. Although it could not be compared to the eight water dragons, it should be enough to set up an array.
After thinking for a while, he flipped the book further.
There were eight arrays in the Earth Virtue Array. He looked at them one by one. After a few glances, he finally chose one of them, the Six Return Earth Leaping Array, and memorized it.
When he was on Kun Island, he had a rough understanding of arrays. There were some mysteries in this array. He could not understand the intricacies at a glance, but if he wanted to set it up, he could barely do it.
The reason why he chose this array was because the other seven arrays were all about variations. Only this array relied on the number of people to win.
He had more than two hundred thousand demon soldiers under him, and he could not waste them.
He looked at the array a few more times. After thinking for a while, he thought that he should find a place to set up the array and try it out.
However, there were more than ten thousand people. The two hundred-thousand-odd demonic soldiers could not be used in this Elegant Manor at all. It would also easily startle the Clear Feather Sect disciples, so they had to go outside the island to use the demonic soldiers.
These demon soldiers were easy to kill, but they had to be trained. But it was also a troublesome matter, and Zhang Yan did not want to waste his energy on it. Fortunately, he had Lu Changsu as his mount. This demon was originally a demon general of the Reef Prefecture, so he should be able to do the job. It was just that he was not present at the moment. They could only wait for him to return before they could make arrangements.
After making up his mind, he sent a flying talisman to Tao Zhenren's place while he sat in the manor patiently studying the theory of formations.
This wait lasted for more than half a month. Just Now, Lu Changsu was following Wang Yingfang back to Xuanling Island.
After meeting Tao Zhenren, Lu Changsu heard that Zhang Yan was looking for her. She did not dare to delay and rushed to the Xiuyuan Villa at the back of the mountain to pay her respects.
When he saw Zhang Yan, he kowtowed and said loudly, "Old Master, I have returned. What do you need me to do, Old Master, please tell me. "
Zhang Yan looked at him and said slowly, "Stand up and talk."
Lu Changsu kowtowed again and stood up as instructed. He untied a pouch on his back and held it up with both hands. He said, "This is Tao Zhenren's order, I pass it to Old Master."
Zhang Yan knew that it was something that was gathered from the Reef Prefecture. He was not in a hurry to open it and said, "This matter is not urgent. Take it with you and follow me on a trip. There is something I need you to do."
Lu Changsu responded, opened his mouth and swallowed the pouch. Then, he shook his body and revealed his dragon whale form, soaring into the sky.
Zhang Yan stood up and leaped onto its back. The dragon whale roared and spread its fins, stirring up the wind and clouds as it rose into the sky.
With a slight command from Zhang Yan, the dragon whale swayed its huge body and flew towards the east.
After traveling for more than three thousand miles, the man and the whale circled around the sea a few times. Zhang Yan saw a wide island and descended.
This place was still considered to be under the boundary of Mysterious Spirit Island. However, because the island was barren, there were few plants and trees, and there was no spiritual energy, no one could be seen. The disciples on duty only came to patrol once every half a month, so it was a suitable place to use the formation.
Zhang Yan got down from the dragon whale and stood on the highest rock on the island. Lu Changsu also changed back to his human form and stood beside him.
Zhang Yan focused his mind and transformed the Water Element True Light. It spread out for a few miles and separated the two hundred thousand demons into ten waves.
After those demon soldiers came out, they immediately rolled all over the ground. Their mouths were full of curses and curses, making a lot of noise. Thousands of seabirds on the beach dozens of miles away were also startled and flew away, dispersing in an instant.
When Lu Changsu saw this, he gathered all the mana in his body and shouted, "All of you, stop!"
When the demon soldiers heard this shout, they came back to their senses. Seeing that it was Lu Changsu, they naturally recognized this general of the residence and immediately quieted down. However, there were still a few muddle-headed soldiers who thought that they had never been under Lu Changsu's command and continued to curse and scold him.
Zhang Yan sneered and waved his sleeve. A gust of wind blew and thousands of Blood Thread Golden Worms appeared in the air.
After these worms had eaten their fill, thousands more appeared. They buzzed and danced in the air. When they saw the demon soldiers on the ground, they couldn't help but bare their teeth.
Zhang Yan looked at those disobedient demons and gave an order in his mind. Receiving permission, the Blood Thread Golden Worms immediately rushed forward and devoured them. In the blink of an eye, they had devoured hundreds of demon soldiers. Then, they flapped their wings and swaggered back behind Zhang Yan, letting out strange cries.
When the demon soldiers saw this terrifying scene, their eyes were filled with fear. They all kept quiet out of fear and didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhang Yan turned around and said to Lu Changsu, "I'm going to set up a formation, so I'll need these pawns. Keep them in check."
Lu Changsu patted his chest and said, "Master, leave it to me. In three days, I will teach these bastards a lesson."
At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away in the open sea, Cui Mulong was flying northward on a cloud.
Not long after, he saw a snake-shaped island called Di Long Rock Market. The rocks and soil were red, and even the flowers and trees on the island were bright red. They looked like they were covered in fire, and the surrounding seawater was dyed a deep red. The spring water that flowed out from the cracks in the rocks looked like blood.
This island was called Fire Mamba Island, and it was where he wanted to go.
Before long, Cui Mulong arrived in front of the island. He shouted through the restriction, "Where are the Wei siblings? Cui Mulong is here to visit. "
A white ray rose from the island, and on it stood a fair-skinned, handsome young Daoist.
The young man wore a white robe and a black water sash. When he saw Cui Mulong, he was delighted. He cupped his fists and said, "Senior Martial Brother Cui, why are you here? Didn't you go to Clear Feather Sect to gather information?"
Cui Mulong waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Don't mention it. If I didn't act fast enough, I might not have returned. Is your sister here?"
The young Daoist smiled cheekily and said, "My sister went out to visit a friend. She hasn't returned for more than ten days."
Cui Mulong cursed in his mind, "Who is she looking for this time?"
He rubbed his belly and said in a muffled voice, "I've traveled for more than half a month, and my stomach is empty. I wonder if Junior Martial Brother has any delicious food in your residence?"
The young Daoist smiled mysteriously and said, "Senior Martial Brother, you have good food. Yesterday, when my sister wasn't around, I secretly caught a dragon carp."
Cui Mulong was shocked. He looked around instinctively and whispered, "Junior Martial Brother, how can you be so bold? Where did you catch this thing? "
The young Daoist waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, Senior Martial Brother. This dragon carp isn't the dragon carp you know. It's just a child that the old carp gave birth to with an unknown spirit monster. The old carp has thousands of descendants, and all of them are different species. How would it know that I caught one or two of them for a sumptuous meal?"
Only then did Cui Mulong relax and scolded with a smile, "I was wondering when your abilities had improved. So that's how it is. Hurry up and cook it so that we can share it."
The two of them went into the inner room and the young Daoist ordered a servant to cook the dragon carp. Not long after, the fragrance wafted out. It was already at the right time. He then cut the fish into sections and placed them on a basin.
The two of them drank wine and chatted while eating. Cui Mulong took advantage of the alcohol and told the young Daoist what had happened.
Hearing that he left after seeing Zhang Yan, the young Daoist couldn't help asking curiously, "Why did Senior Martial Brother do this? Could it be that this person is extremely powerful? "
Cui Mulong sighed and said, "Junior Martial Brother, how would you know? I've heard of this Zhang Yan. Back then, when Clear Feather Sect was established, there was a huge battle on the sea. In this battle, Chongyue True Temple lost a true weapon called the Murderous Shadow Blade. Rumor has it that this person obtained it. This is a sharp weapon for killing. If I didn't leave, would I be waiting to be killed by him?"
The young Daoist sucked in a breath of cold air and exclaimed, "This person actually has this blade in his hands?"
Cui Mulong shook his head and said, "That's right. Think about that Manor Head Lu and two elders under him, a total of three Yuanying masters, and over three hundred thousand demon soldiers. I later heard that they were all killed by him. If it wasn't for that true weapon, how could he have such abilities?"
He fled in a hurry but didn't dare to go back. Later, he only heard bits and pieces of news. Only then did he know that Reef Manor's Lu Family was destroyed in the battle. While he was glad that he reacted quickly, he was even more certain that the Murderous Shadow Blade was in Zhang Yan's hands.
After the two of them devoured the 'dragon carp' cleanly like a tornado sweeping away the clouds, Cui Mulong sighed in satisfaction and said, "This fish is still the most delicious. It eats wind, drinks dew, and swallows elixirs all day long. It seems like who can live such a simple life?"
The young Daoist advised, "Senior Brother Cui, ever since the Elder Ancestor passed away, our Mount Heng lineage has been scattered like sand on a plate. For example, Senior Brother He and the rest have long sought refuge with Clear Feather Sect. Those who aren't willing to stay here have also gone to other continents. If you want to regain your former glory, there's only hope if the Elder Ancestor returns. From what I see, it's better to seek refuge with Clear Feather Sect. It's better than having no foundation."
Cui Mulong said unhappily, "Junior Brother, why do you have to say such unambitious words? At our peak, our Mount Heng lineage had over ten thousand disciples. Even though we're scattered everywhere now, there are still over a thousand people left on this eastern sea. Among them, there's no lack of people with profound magic power. If we were to unite, who would dare to look down on us?"
The young Daoist frowned and said, "But once Reef Manor is destroyed, Clear Feather Sect will definitely rise. The outer sea will probably be peaceful for many years. If we don't seek refuge with them as soon as possible, I'm afraid we won't have a chance."
Cui Mulong twirled the wine cup in his hand and said with a face full of certainty, "Junior Brother, you've guessed wrong. I dare to say that since that Zhang Yan has appeared, I believe it won't take long for Chongyue True Temple to make a move. Just wait and watch the show."
