The essence of the Black Abyss Martial Exhibition Games was actually to compete for Spirit Balls. The side that managed to grab the most would be able to divide up the resources after the Martial Exhibition Games.
Because of the uniqueness of the Black Abyss, it was the first time that the cultivators here were participating in the Martial Exhibition Games. Even if they had the experience of their predecessors, there were some things that they couldn't grasp without personally experiencing it.
Now, the nine people from the eastern side had taken the initiative, taking advantage of the fact that the other two sides were entangled to snatch a Spirit Ball. Taking the initiative, they were all in high spirits.
According to the previous arrangement, Lu Ye and the other eight people flew to the edge of the Spirit Ball and poured their Spirit Qi into it, pushing it in the direction of their camp.
Han Molong took the lead, flying in front of the Spirit Ball.
He wasn't leading the way, but rather clearing obstacles.
In the space inside the Black Abyss, there were many large and small meteorites flying around, and the Spirit Ball had a special characteristic, which was that once it was forced, it would move in the opposite direction. So, in the process of pushing the Spirit Ball towards the camp, it was necessary to ensure that there were no meteorites in front of it to avoid wasting time.
Especially in the early stages of fighting for the Spirit Ball, time was especially precious. The closer they were to the camp, the greater the advantage they would have.
On Han Molong's side, it was unknown what kind of Secret Technique or Spirit Talisman he used, but his already fat body became even more bloated, looking as if it was filled with air. Whenever he found a meteorite in front of him that could collide with the Spirit Ball, he would ignore it and rush towards it.
His body seemed to have become extremely elastic, and with every collision, he could change the direction of the meteorite's movement and clear the obstacles.
With him clearing the way in front, the remaining eight people had a simple task. In the early stages when there were no enemies chasing after them, they only needed to pour their Spirit Qi into the Spirit Ball and control its flying speed.
Lu Ye was also exerting his strength while familiarizing himself with the Spirit Ball.
Not only did the Spirit Ball have a special characteristic of moving in the opposite direction when it was forced, but it also had a special characteristic of increasing the speed of absorbing Spirit Qi. The more Spirit Qi it absorbed, the faster it would move, and vice versa. If there was no Spirit Qi poured into it, or if there was no force, it wouldn't move.
This meant that if Lu Ye and the others wanted to send the Spirit Ball back to the camp, they had to constantly pour their Spirit Qi into it. And if they wanted the Spirit Ball to reach a fixed speed, they would have to go all out, which was extremely taxing on their Spirit Qi.
So, in the previous entanglement of the Spirit Qi, the three sides, no matter who it was, to restore Spirit Qi................................
At first, everyone from the Eastern Division was rather nervous. They couldn't be sure if the other two divisions would chase after them. As the weakest side, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
However, as time passed and they got closer and closer to their own camp, everyone's anxious hearts slowly relaxed. There was joy, but there was also bitterness.
They were happy because the Eastern side got off to a good start and got the first Spirit Ball. So, even if they came in last this time, they wouldn't lose too badly.
But they were sad because the other two sides really didn't put the Eastern side in their eyes. Obviously, they didn't think it was a big deal to let the Eastern side get the Spirit Ball first. They only saw each other as opponents. Otherwise, there would be no reason for no one to chase after them.
Looking down from the sky, Lu Ye and the others looked like eight ants carrying a huge fruit, with one ant scouting ahead …
The constellations were busy. In the Sunshine realm, the Southern and Western Sunshine cultivators congratulated Chen Xuanhai and the others. Chen Xuanhai snorted coldly and didn't say anything. He understood that the two Sunshine cultivators must have told their juniors to focus on the other side and to slow down the suppression of the Eastern side.
Otherwise, the Eastern side wouldn't have been able to get the first Spirit Ball so easily.
Although he understood, he couldn't do anything about the Black Abyss Exercise. At this point, the three Sunshine cultivators of the Eastern side knew that the Eastern side would come in last again.
It wasn't that they didn't work hard enough, but that the enemy's lineup was too strong.
In the Black Abyss, the Eastern side was only halfway through transporting the Spirit Balls when they felt a mysterious energy fluctuation coming from a certain direction.
The third Spirit Ball appeared.
Although they didn't know what the situation was over there, with the appearance of the third Spirit Ball, the conflict between the Southern and Western Tribes should come to an end. Because each of the Southern and Western Tribes could get one Spirit Ball each, there was no need for them to fight over it anymore.
The Eastern side was still busy transporting the Spirit Balls. After a long time, they finally returned to the smooth platform where they had first appeared. The transportation was complete.
Although the Spirit Balls could still be fought over, there had never been a case where a Spirit Ball that had already been delivered to the main camp was snatched away again.
This was because they had too much of an advantage when fighting in their own camp. They could almost revive infinitely and immediately join the battle. Even the Eastern side, which was the weakest, wouldn't have the possibility of a Spirit Ball being snatched away again.
There was no time to celebrate. After the Spirit Balls were placed, Haitang and the others immediately started to set up the formation.
The Miniature Humans were a very special race. They were extremely talented in the art of talisman crafting. Almost every Miniature Human was talented in this aspect. In the field of talisman crafting, no other race could compare to them.
With the help of a variety of talismans, they could complete a variety of tactical arrangements.
For example, they could set up a barrier here!
Although there was almost no possibility of the Spirit Balls placed in the main camp being snatched away again, it was still necessary to take precautions. Their overall strength was not as good as others, and they didn't have many people, so it was impossible to separate some people to guard the Spirit Balls.
They could only rely on talismans to set up a formation.
Except for Lu Ye, the others were all from the Miniature Humans and were familiar with each other. For this moment, they had made a lot of preparations in advance.
So in a short time, a barrier was set up, isolating the inside from the outside.
This kind of formation was not very strong. After all, no matter how prepared they were, it was arranged in a hurry. If someone gathered a certain number of people and attacked, it could still be broken.
But this was enough. If someone really attacked this place, their own people could quickly come back to help.
While they were busy here, Lu Ye didn't interfere. The main reason was that he couldn't do anything. He observed while sensing the movement of the other two Spirit Balls.
What he could confirm was that the two Spirit Balls had now been taken by the Southern and Western Divisions. They were quickly moving in the direction of their respective camps. It wouldn't take long for them to be placed properly.
The first wave of competition came to an end for the time being.
Next, they had to wait for the second wave of competition.
At this time, if a fourth Spirit Ball suddenly appeared, the situation would be greatly advantageous to the Eastern Division.
Because the Eastern Division could immediately rush over to fight for it, the other two divisions were still on the way to transport the Spirit Balls and couldn't immediately react.
But according to the rules of the previous Martial Arts Exercises, after the first wave, the second wave would not start so quickly. This gave everyone a certain amount of time to recover.
In reality, the real fight would usually only start after the second wave. The first two waves of competition were usually more peaceful. This was also a kind of convention.
Lu Ye took out an item and said, "Fellow Daoists, we didn't have time to get to know each other. I believe everyone knows about my background. But no matter what, since we're participating in the Martial Arts Exercises and promised someone something, we have to give it our all. I have an array disc here that might be useful. Take this time to familiarize yourselves with it."
What he took out was naturally the Twin Spirit Connected Array Disc.
This thing played a huge role in the Nine Continents' fight against the Insect Tide and the expedition to the Blood Refinement World. It was especially useful for True Lake and Cloud River Stage cultivators.
But Lu Ye had long discovered the drawbacks of this item. Because the range of the array disc was limited, it was far less useful for Spiritual Ocean Stage cultivators than True Lake and Cloud River Stage cultivators.
The reason was that when a cultivator's cultivation was high, their range of movement would be larger. If the range of the array disc was not large enough, it would naturally be difficult for it to be effective.
When one reached the Constellation Stage, the range of movement would be even larger. Often, with a casual shake of the body, one would exceed the range of the array disc.
When the Constellation Stage cultivators worked together, they could not be tied together. That way, they would be in greater danger. So even if they worked together, they were not inseparable.
This point was vividly reflected on the ghost ship.
In the final battle, even if Qin Zong and the rest had the Twin Spirit Connected Array Disc that Lu Ye gave them, it was difficult for them to form a decent formation. They were basically in a loose alliance state.
It could be foreseen that as their cultivation increased, the effect of the Twin Spirit Connected Array Disc would become more and more limited. Unless Lu Ye found a way to improve the spirit patterns and the array disc.
For the time being, this item could still be of some use. Of course, it could only be used by a small number of people. There was no way for nine people to become a whole.
If he did not agree to Su Yuqing's second place result, Lu Ye could have just done whatever he wanted. If he could help, he would help. If he could not, then there was nothing he could do.
But since he had already agreed, then he had to put in some effort. Otherwise, if Su Yuqing really wanted to force him and the Thought Moon Immortal to stay for a hundred years, he really could not resist.
In such a situation, any bit of help was indispensable.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Haitang.
Haitang put on the airs of a leader. "Junior Brother Lu's words are my words!"
How could anyone have any objections? As Lu Ye activated the power of the Twin Spirit Connected Array Disc, everyone immediately realized the mystery of this item. All of them were shocked!
However, after Lu Ye explained the pros and cons of this item, the eight people from the Eastern Region understood that this item was indeed useful, but not as useful as they had imagined.
Han Molong said, "This array disc is somewhat similar to the array talismans of our Little Human Clan, but in comparison, the array disc is more flexible."
Haitang also nodded. "The array disc is only auxiliary. In fact, it is still based on people. Array talismans are different. They are based on talismans and need the cultivator to cooperate with the mystery of the array talisman."
