The Grandmasters of Aoyama had cooperated with the young priest to eliminate the hidden swordsmen and the rebellious divine animals, and brought dozens of ascendants from Chaotian to the Federation of the Milky Way. As a result, the Federation of the Milky Way had developed at a high speed for almost one thousand years.
After that, he came to the Ancestral Star and began to live in seclusion. Jing Jiu asked General Li, Ceng Ju, Chen Ya and the others to deal with the war against the Sea of Dark Matter, the guidance of the ascendants, and the cooperation with the praying hall. Jing Jiu paid no more attention to the affairs of the mortal world until Jing Jiu arrived.
What had he been doing on the Ancestral Star for the past few hundred years? Return to the ancestral home of human civilization, dig out the secrets that had been buried underground for hundreds of thousands of years, find out what the childhood of human beings was like, and then find the path for the future of human beings?
Of course, this was definitely something he wanted to do, but it was not necessarily everything he did.
By now, people finally knew that he had spent hundreds of years transforming the solar system into a sword formation with the help of the female priest and the resources of the entire Federation of the Milky Way.
No wonder this place had always been known as a forbidden area. Even those ascenders were not allowed to approach this place without permission.
"Then how did we get to … this Mars?" Yu Shan asked with his eyes wide open.
"I still don't know how the Grandmaster of Aoyama was able to build such a huge Sword Array, but since it's a Sword Array, it must be guarded. If there's an array pivot and base, there should be an array eye. If there's a death door, there must be a life door. "Tong Yan said," Lord Night Howler found the life door, so he brought us here. "
Shen Yunmai, Yuan Qu, Yushan and Tong Yan had all learned the sword work of Aoyama, but they were far inferior to the Dead Dog's natural spiritual awareness of the Sword Formation of Aoyama. The group could not help but feel a little fearful when they heard that. If they did not bring an Aoyama ancestor with them, they would have been slashed into pieces by the sword formation along with the black warship.
Yushan asked worriedly, "That ship has also entered. The seniors probably don't know about the existence of this sword array. Will they be alright?"
Tong Yan said, "The sword formation has been completed. Even the master of the formation can't move without permission. Anyone who enters will die."
Shen Yunmai said in a mocking tone, "With the two loyal dogs, Chen Ya and Ensheng, he might not have the heart to kill them."
Su Ziye asked, "What should we do next? Since this Mars is where the Gate of Life is, is the exit also here? "
The deep and warm voice of the Dead Dog rang out, "This sword formation has no exit."
Hearing this, the edge of the cliff fell silent again.
It was well known to all the Cultivation practitioners in Chaotian that the Living Gate was available, but it didn't mean that they could leave.
However, such a formation had never appeared in Chaotian. This was because the biggest problem with this kind of Death Array that isolated the inside from the outside was the position of the Array Master.
If the master of the formation was outside the formation and wanted to control the operation of the formation, he would have to communicate with the inside of the formation.
If there was a connection, there would be a passage.
If the master of the formation was inside the formation, then wouldn't this Death Formation also trap him inside?
If it was a normal spell formation, it could still be broken by brute force. However, the gigantic sword formation that spanned across the entire solar system — the Grandmaster of Aoyama had spent hundreds of years to set it up. Would he still need hundreds of years to break it?
Nobody expected that the Grandmaster of Aoyama would actually do it.
"Why did the Grandmaster do it?" asked Yuan Qu bewilderedly.
"He imprisoned himself," said Shen Yunmai.
Imprisoned himself? What did it mean?
"He imprisoned himself in the solar system, so he could imprison the whole world in the outer space." Shen Yunmai's voice was devoid of any emotion. "People like us who are here to visit him have no way to leave."
What he said was somewhat philosophical. But why did the Grandmaster of Aoyama want to turn the solar system into a prison from which no one could escape? Why did he imprison himself in it?
"It's because he was afraid that I would come and kill him."
Shen Yunmai raised his thick mechanical arm toward the blue planet in the sky, as if he was ready to fire a weapon at any moment.
The atmosphere by the edge of the cliff was rather depressing, but they couldn't help but react when they heard what he said. They all expressed their disdain for him.
"The Grandmaster turned the solar system into a sword formation … It's no different from a miracle. Why would he be afraid of you?"
"Have you read too many ancient novels? Do you think all the patricide will succeed?"
"It's more likely that the Grandmaster was afraid of Senior Master, but you?"
Hearing this, Shen Yunmai felt quite annoyed. "Regardless of whether he was afraid of Jing Jiu or the Snow Girl, he was still afraid of them!"
Tong Yan rubbed her eyebrows with her fingers and said tiredly, "Since he could turn the solar system into a sword formation, he's qualified to be afraid of nobody."
Shen Yunmai sneered, "Why do you think the old man imprisoned himself then?"
Tong Yan stood up slowly and looked at the blue planet while supporting her waist with her hands. Then she turned her head to look at the other planets. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "He intended to create another Chaotian."
Upon hearing this, everybody, including Shen Yunmai, fell silent. They vaguely felt that it might be the case.
The solar system had turned into a magnificent sword formation, cutting off all the connections between the outside and the outside world, which was tantamount to being separated from the universe.
Of course, it was not the real Chaotian, but something similar.
Did the Grandmaster of Aoyama intend to create another refuge for the humans? Or did he intend to keep this ancestral home of the human civilization?
Shen Yunmai shook his head expressionlessly and said, "No matter how powerful this sword formation is, it can only block our universe."
It was true. Judging from the effect of the shapeless sword wills in the Kuiper Belt, this sword formation might not be able to block the Sea of Dark Matter.
"There's still plenty of time. Everything is possible."
Tong Yan fell silent for a while before saying, "Who could have thought that a solar system could be turned into a sword formation?"
"I don't understand." Que Niang said softly, "Even if this sword formation could block the Sea of Dark Matter in the future, what would happen to the other places three hundred years later? Does the Grandmaster intend to ignore the humans and live alone? "
"Live alone forever?" Shen Yunmai remarked mockingly, "It's indeed something he would do."
"No, he intends to outlive Jing Jiu to death. As for the Snow Girl, I don't know what he intends to do," said Tong Yan.
Su Ziye remarked icily, "Are we going to be trapped here forever?"
Que Niang tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "This state won't last long."
It was not the fault of the Grandmaster of Aoyama; it was that they couldn't allow such a situation to happen.
As long as the Snow Girl and Jing Jiu were still alive, they would come to the solar system to kill the Grandmaster. By then, they would probably be killed by this sword formation of the solar system or be imprisoned on this red planet like they had been. To prevent such a situation from happening, they had to find a way to dismantle this sword formation and go to the ancestral planet to kill the Grandmaster in advance. However, the Life Gate was not the exit, but the place between life and death. Where could they go when this magnificent sword formation blocked the sky?
Was it truly impossible to dismantle this sword formation that stretched across the solar system?
No, there was nothing that couldn't be dismantled.
Even a small piece of Jing Jiu's earlobe had fallen off, to say nothing of the other objects in the universe.
To dismantle a solid object, one had to know what it was made of first.
To dismantle this sword formation of the solar system, one had to figure out the operating rules of the sword formation and how the Mountain of the Ancestors of Aoyama did it.
Crouching by the cliff's edge, the black dog looked at the permanent star that had turned from blue to white in Silence.
"Let's begin," said Tong Yan.
Shen Yunmai uttered "hmm" and maneuvered the robot away from the Dead Dog. He walked to the cliff's rocks and unfolded a light screen.
The information related to the defense system of the solar system appeared on the light screen. Soon after, many mathematical tools appeared in front of them in various forms.
Que Niang brought out dozens of small bronze mirrors and placed them around the mountain pass, forming a formation.
The barren world devoid of the energy of heaven and earth suddenly had a sense of freshness.
Shen Yunmai glanced at her appreciatively, and then started his lesson.
Different from the lessons on the black battleship, what he taught today was the history of the defense system of the solar system and the operating rules of the heavenly bodies in this world.
The relevant data was changing on the light screen even faster than his voice.
Que Niang and Tong Yan stood in front of the light screen and listened attentively, asking questions once in a while.
Standing a little further away, Su Ziye furrowed his brows slightly while looking at the lines and functions on the light screen; it was unclear how much he had understood.
Yuan Qu and Yushan stood further away. They were certain that they couldn't help Shen Yunmai, and their gazes were fixed on the sceneries on Mars.
Peng Lang was the only one who didn't take a glance at the light screen from the beginning to the end. It was unclear what he was thinking about; perhaps, he didn't think about anything at all.
It didn't take long before Tong Yan and Que Niang reached the same conclusion as Shen Yunmai. After a while, Su Ziye nodded in agreement.
This super sword formation across the solar system must have been built on the original defense system of the solar system, but the source of its energy and the operating rules were completely different.
The only force that could activate this sword formation and isolate the universe was the gravitational force between the sun and the heavenly bodies. These gravitational forces formed a kind of super space passage, which dispersed the spiritual awareness and sword wills of the Grandmasters of Aoyama among the galaxies, and then caused some particles to scatter … But, how could such a high-level energy be released?
Standing in front of the light screen, Shen Yunmai controlled the mechanical arm to write all kinds of formulas and equations quickly. He proposed many possibilities, but they were all denied by Tong Yan soon.
Then, he came up with another idea, but Que Niang found the problem in it.
Time elapsed slowly. The distant sun didn't seem to move, and the thin air on the surface of Mars seemed to be frozen.
The words and figures on the light screen appeared and then were erased, resembling the podium in a university classroom.
Standing in front of the podium, Shen Yunmai looked like a professor; but all his deductions were questioned by the students.
His handwriting became more and more sloppy.
Tong Yan and Que Niang offered fewer and fewer opinions, but more and more suggestions.
After a few days, the sloppy figures and words on the light screen were all gone, leaving only a function that looked simple but was actually quite complicated; or, more precisely, it was a conjecture about a function.
Even Yuan Qu and Yushan could figure out some meaning from the form of this function.
But it didn't mean that they had succeeded.
By now, Shen Yunmai, Tong Yan, and Que Niang were certain that if they wanted to deduce the working rules of this Great Formation without the accurate changes of the data, they would have to find a brand new method of deduction, which was a mathematical tool in the modern language.
The problem was that even though they were the smartest people in this universe, they couldn't create a brand new mathematical tool in such a short time.
They didn't even have a direction, not to mention any inspiration.
Su Ziye suddenly walked to the front of the light screen and waved his sleeve.
Seeing this, Yuan Qu and Yushan, who were about to ask for leave, were startled, thinking that Su Ziye had grown impatient and was about to make a fool of himself.
Fortunately, nothing happened. The extremely complicated function on the light screen was still there quietly.
What happened in the next moment was a bit miraculous. Thousands of soul-fires came out from Su Ziye's fingers and landed on the light screen.
Those soul-fires began to flicker according to the deduction process on the light screen, growing brighter and brighter.
The atmosphere by the cliff's edge grew tenser. Everybody fixed their gazes on that spot.
All of a sudden, those soul-fires vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a small golden flower that looked like a candlelight.
"The numbers … or formulas you used aren't wrong, but you're missing three, no, at least two very important points."
Su Ziye said tiredly as he retrieved the small golden flower.
"You're right. I think there's another problem in this problem."
Looking at the numbers on the light screen, Tong Yan also found the problem.
The sun was located in the center of the galaxy, and the eight planets revolved around it, so it couldn't be Silent. If the Grandmasters of Aoyama wanted this Great Formation to last for at least hundreds of thousands of years, the eye of the formation couldn't be one of the planets. Then, where was the eye of the Sword Formation of the Solar System?
Maybe it was the missing number in this function.
"If only Master were here," Que Niang sighed softly.
Hearing this, Yushan nodded repeatedly.
In their minds, no matter how difficult this function was to be solved, or even if the initial conditions were not complete, Jing Jiu would be able to calculate it clearly as long as he had enough time.
"The eye of the formation is moving," a voice suddenly came out from the cliff's edge.
It was Peng Lang who spoke.
Shen Yunmai was about to taunt him, but he suddenly fell silent.
If the eye of the formation was indeed moving, what would it be if it was not the eight planets?
A small planet? And it was a very inconspicuous meteorite?
Since the key values were missing, and no suitable mathematical tools were available, there was only one way left, which was to observe it directly and then simulate the calculation.
Tong Yan regulated her breathing for a while, and then lifted her head to look at the night sky without hesitation.
What she saw was real.
In an instant, his face turned pale beyond compare.
Que Niang took a magic pill and looked at the night sky bravely.
A dozen breaths later, she drew back her gaze, a trickle of blood seeping out from the corner of her mouth. She shook her head apologetically as she met Shen Yunmai's gaze.
A dozen breaths later, Tong Yan drew back her gaze and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yushan supported Que Niang and infused the fairy energy into her body to treat her wound.
Yuan Qu tossed a bottle of medicine to Tong Yan.
Shen Yunmai remarked in a mocking tone, "You only know that you can spit out blood when you play chess; but it turns out you can also observe the stars?"
"Do you have the ability to take a look at it?" Su Ziye demanded expressionlessly.
Nobody could see through this Great Formation of the solar system, let alone see the direction and the approximate amount of the energy flowing in the Great Formation and find the moving eye of the formation.
"I'll go and have a look."
Peng Lang stood up and placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword.
The Dead Dog stood up slowly and turned into a black mountain, blending into the dark universe.
