The Windless Abyss wasn't a regular circular space, but a long and narrow fissure spanning over a hundred miles …
The edges of the fissure weren't regular either. There was a cylindrical cliff with a diameter of a hundred meters at one point.
Chu Xingyun was wearing tight clothes with a rope tied around his waist. He was busy climbing up and down the walls of the cave.
Around him were thirty-six Heavenly Craftsmen and a thousand skilled craftsmen. They were waving their hammers and digging at the cliff.
Along the circular cliff, the thousand craftsmen dug out a circular passageway.
Then, they used the smelted metal poles as materials and began to extend into the abyss.
Under the efforts of all the craftsmen, a cylindrical space with a diameter of a hundred meters and metal poles on the ground appeared in the Windless Abyss.
Three hundred and sixty-five long metal poles extended from all directions towards the center of the cave.
All the metal poles met at the center of the circular space and were fixed together.
The three hundred and sixty-five metal poles evenly divided the ground into three hundred and sixty-five sections. Looking down from above, it gave off an incomparably profound and unadorned feeling.
Then, under the busy work of the thousand craftsmen, three thousand white jade bells were tied to the sky silk and hung on the three hundred and sixty-five beams according to a certain pattern.
Then, on top of the three hundred and sixty-five beams, an incomparably verdant and glossy bamboo floor was laid. The project was thus completed.
Then, the craftsmen didn't leave. Instead, they used the trunk of the Arrow Bamboo to build a large number of bamboo houses on the ground with a diameter of a hundred meters.
There were a total of eighty-one miniature bamboo houses. Each bamboo house was located at a node of the large formation. In the center of the bamboo houses was a metal pillar. A transparent crystal ball the size of a human head was installed at the top of the pillar.
The entire project took a total of a month to complete.
In the center of the large formation with a diameter of a hundred meters was an incomparably exquisite and gorgeous bamboo house. In the center of the bamboo house was an Eight Trigrams Formation.
In the center of the Eight Trigrams Formation was a Yin-Yang Taiji Formation. In front of the Eight Trigrams Formation was a white jade praying mat.
This Golden Crystal Ball was very expensive. Just this crystal ball alone was worth one billion spirit stones.
This golden crystal ball's greatest feature was that it could contain and store wind energy.
The entire formation was personally designed and built by Chu Xingyun. It was called the Wind Capturing Formation, and its function was to collect wind.
Chu Xingyun checked the entire formation and made sure that there were no problems with all the lines of the formation. Then, he took out a ninth-grade spirit stone that was worth one hundred million spirit stones and embedded it in the core of the formation, on the platform below the golden crystal ball.
As the ninth-grade spirit stone was embedded, the entire array began to tremble violently.
Amidst the intense trembling, the eighty-one transparent crystal balls in the eighty-one bamboo houses gradually lit up. Threads of faintly discernible light began to flicker within the crystal balls.
There was a total of eighty-one ninth-grade spirit stones embedded in the formation.
Ninth grade spirit stones had always been priceless. Although it was said to be worth 100 million spirit stones, no one would be willing to sell it if you really used 100 million spirit stones to buy it.
The greatest feature of a ninth-grade spirit stone was that it could self-replenish its energy.
As long as it was not exhausted in one go, the ninth-grade spirit stone would automatically absorb the spirit energy in the air to replenish itself. It would never be exhausted.
It was all thanks to Bai Bing's help that they were able to obtain so many ninth-grade spirit stones.
It was only because of her good relationship with the military that they were able to exchange for eighty-one ninth-grade spirit stones.
The reason why Bai Bing had such a good relationship with the military was because the White Cloud Chamber of Commerce was able to generate 20 million spirit stones for the military every day. This greatly increased the military's little treasury.
Thousands of craftsmen hurriedly got to work when they felt the formation tremble.
The reason why the formation was trembling was because the formation was not precise enough. Some parts were loose, and some parts were too big, so there was no buffer space.
Thousands of craftsmen on the platform had ropes hanging from their waists. They adjusted the formation nodes at various positions, and the trembling of the entire formation was quickly reduced.
From intense trembling to normal trembling, and then to light trembling …
Finally, with the hard work of thousands of craftsmen, the trembling of the entire formation was completely suppressed.
Sitting cross-legged at the core of the formation, Chu Xingyun could no longer feel any tremors. Only then did he nod his head in satisfaction.
After the formation was set up, the next thing to do was to test the performance of the formation.
Three thousand white jade bells were hung from the bottom of the platform using natural silk. They were arranged at different heights to form a wind collection formation.
The huge wind collection formation covered the entire space under the platform, which had a diameter of a hundred meters. As long as the metal wind appeared in this area, it would not be able to escape.
Ding Ding …
Finally, a golden light flashed, and a white jade bell shone with a golden light.
As the jade bell trembled, it let out a clear ringing sound. Under the guidance of an invisible force, the metal wind, which was as thick as a strand of hair, was instantly pulled upward along the natural silk.
The ends of the natural silk were connected to the eighty-one transparent crystal balls in the eighty-one bamboo houses.
The metal wind entered the transparent crystal balls without a hitch.
These crystal balls were non-elemental and could temporarily contain energy of all attributes. However, their capacity was limited, and they could not be stored for too long.
After spinning rapidly in the transparent crystal balls for a few rounds, the metal wind left the crystal balls and followed the natural silk between the crystal balls toward the center of the formation.
Hiss Hiss … Hiss Hiss …
At this moment, in the huge bamboo house in the center of the formation, Chu Xingyun watched excitedly as the metal wind continuously flowed into the golden crystal ball in front of him.
Three thousand white jade bells were triggered one after another. Streaks of golden light flowed through the lines of the formation at lightning speed. Finally, they entered the golden crystal ball one by one.
Not only could the golden crystal ball contain the metal wind, but it could also store it forever. As long as there was no external force, the metal wind in the crystal ball would always exist.
Chu Xingyun could not help but smile as he watched more and more metal wind in the golden crystal ball.
At this rate, the three thousand white jade bells could capture three hundred thousand strands of metal wind in a day. In a year, they could capture more than a hundred million strands of metal wind.
Soon, over ten thousand strands of metal wind had gathered in the golden crystal ball.
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Chu Xingyun took out a fist-sized transparent crystal ball and gently pressed it against the golden crystal ball. With a gentle suction, over ten thousand strands of metal wind were sucked into the transparent crystal ball.
