Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15887
Chapter 15885 Talent
“Elder Zhen, that magic artifact is moving.” Ding Chunming looked at the projection and suddenly spoke.
Elder Zhen nodded and said, “I saw it. For so many days, only that magic artifact hasn’t moved. Their defense is very good. They haven’t moved at all to conserve their strength. They’re a smart person. Let’s see what they do next.”
Elder Zhen was referring to Zhuge Qingsong’s magic artifact. He had been paying close attention to Zhuge Qingsong’s magic artifact these past few days. It could be said that Zhuge Qingsong had done the best. He hadn’t moved recklessly but had been defending with all his might. In Elder Zhen’s opinion, this was the best choice. Of course, Zhuge Qingsong’s choice could only be considered average, because although he hadn’t moved, he hadn’t tried to break the formation either. In Elder Zhen’s opinion, this was unacceptable. They knew they were inside the formation but didn’t think about breaking it. This was indeed very unacceptable.
However, Elder Zhen was unaware that he was using the Blood Slaughter Sect’s mindset to judge Zhuge Qingsong. In fact, Zhuge Qingsong’s inaction was also a tactic. Elder Zhen believed that such a large formation consumed unimaginable amounts of energy daily; no force could sustain such a massive drain. Therefore, he had been waiting for the formation’s energy to run out. But several days had passed, and the formation’s energy showed no signs of depletion, remaining remarkably stable. Only then did Zhuge Qingsong have no choice but to take further action.
At that moment, Elder Zhen saw several people fly out of the magical artifact. These people split into several teams and arrived at the four directions of the artifact. Then, they began attacking the surrounding area, without any clear target, relentlessly attacking in one direction.
Upon seeing this, Elder Zhen immediately understood their intentions. He raised an eyebrow and said, “We’ve encountered an expert.”
Ding Chunming, watching Zhuge Qingsong and his group’s actions, was also taken aback. He then asked, “Is this a test?”
Elder Zhen shook his head and said, “Not only that. They’re constantly attacking in all directions, trying to cause energy fluctuations in the array, or even a counterattack. Once the array moves, they can observe its movements, find its weaknesses, and break it. It seems the commander of this magical artifact is an expert, very knowledgeable about arrays. This is quite interesting.”
Upon hearing Elder Zhen’s words, Ding Chunming… He was taken aback for a moment, then immediately asked, “What should we do if they really do that?”
Elder Zhen smiled slightly and said, “Don’t they want to see a flaw? That’s simple, we’ll just give them one. However, this flaw is the one we want them to see, but we can’t let them see it yet. I want to see just how much this guy understands about magic arrays.”
Ding Chunming knew that Elder Zhen was interested when he heard Elder Zhen say this. It seemed that Elder Zhen admired the commander of this magic artifact, and it seemed that even if the commander of this magic artifact joined the Blood Slaughter Sect, he would still enter the Divine Mechanism Hall.
On the other side, Zhuge Qingsong had been watching the situation outside through the projection. As those people attacked, there were indeed some energy fluctuations around them. Suddenly, countless wisps of mist appeared all around, and the mist grew thicker and thicker, slowly surrounding them, to the point that they could hardly see anyone on the other side.
The other kingdom-level experts’ faces turned grim upon seeing this. In their view, with such thick fog obscuring everything, what could they possibly discern? It seemed their plan was doomed.
However, Zhuge Qingsong laughed and said, “There’s a reaction! Excellent! This fog actually makes it easier to see the energy fluctuations here. Gentlemen, I’m going out to take a look. You wait here.” With that, he ordered the hatch opened, and he flew out of the large magical artifact.
Zhuge Qingsong was a member of the Fire God Sect, and their large magical artifact was quite unique. It was a fire ship—yes, it was shaped like a ship, and a large fire was constantly burning on it; it was a true fire ship.
There were no other small magical artifacts around their fire ship, only the fire ship itself. After Zhuge Qingsong flew out of the fire ship, he only glanced around. The fire on the ship was quite aggressive, but Zhuge Qingsong wasn’t afraid. This fire was a divine fire created by their Fire God Sect, and he could bind it to his master. It had almost no killing power against the disciples of the Fire God Sect because this fire complemented the sect’s techniques. A great fire that was deadly to others was harmless to the disciples of the Fire God Sect, so he wasn’t afraid of it.
After he came out, he landed directly on the top of the ship and carefully observed the surrounding mist. The mist wasn’t white or black, but various colors. It was currently churning and rolling, creating a spectacular scene.
Zhuge Qingsong kept staring at the mist, and a jade slip appeared in his hand. He occasionally entered something into the jade slip, watching intently.
A short while passed. The first wave of attacking disciples retreated, and the second wave took over. Their attacks never stopped, and Zhuge Qingsong remained standing there.
On the other side, Elder Zhen was also watching the projection, his gaze fixed on Zhuge Qingsong, a smile on his face. Ding Chunming, seeing Elder Zhen’s expression, couldn’t help but smile and say, “Elder Zhen, it seems you admire him quite a bit.”
Elder Zhen nodded and said, “Yes, his talent seems quite good, especially in the art of magic arrays. The fact that he can reach the Kingdom level while researching magic arrays shows that his talent in cultivation is also very good. If someone like this joins our sect, I suggest immediately placing him in the Divine Mechanism Hall. His future achievements will definitely not be inferior to Hongliang’s.”
Hearing Elder Zhen say this, Ding Chunming was somewhat surprised. Zhang Hongliang’s talent in magic arrays was very strong, yet Elder Zhen said that this person’s talent in the art of magic arrays was no less than Zhang Hongliang’s, which greatly surprised him.
The elder continued, “I deliberately left a flaw in this formation, but it’s not something an ordinary person can discover. If he can find it within three days, he can enter the Divine Mechanism Hall. If he finds it within two days, his achievements there won’t be inferior to the elders. If he finds it within one day, his talent won’t be inferior to Hong Liang’s. Judging from his expression just now, he should be able to find the flaw very quickly. Did you notice that his gaze fell on the same spot several times? That’s where I left the flaw. This means he’s already noticed it. Give him some more time, and he will definitely find the flaw, but it shouldn’t be too fast. He should find it within ten hours.” “If he finds a flaw, his achievements might even surpass Hongliang’s.”
Upon hearing Elder Zhen’s words, Ding Chunming was truly stunned. He quickly said, “Is his talent really that good? Should we let him go and see if we can get him to surrender? If he surrenders, that would be best. If he doesn’t, we can just turn him into an undead.”
Elder Zhen smiled and said, “Of course. But someone as clever as him should surrender. He doesn’t look very old; he probably doesn’t want to die because he still has plenty of time to live.”
Ding Chunming nodded and said nothing more. Then they kept watching Zhuge Qingsong, who was still calculating. Sweat was beading on his forehead, slowly turning into white mist that seemed to blend into the surrounding fog.
Zhuge Qingsong stood on the boat for eleven hours, his mind constantly engaged in intense calculations. Finally, after eleven hours, he let out a long breath, put away the jade slip, and returned directly to his magical artifact. Once inside, he immediately said, “Tell all the disciples to return. Stop attacking. I’m going to rest. We’ll break the formation when we come out.”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then excited, and immediately responded. Zhuge Qingsong went to rest, his steps unsteady as he walked back to his quarters, showing that he had truly exerted all his strength in this calculation. The
others immediately called all the disciples back, and they resumed their defenses. The surroundings gradually returned to calm, and even the mist disappeared.
Elder Zhen, of course, also noticed this situation, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face. Just as I guessed, his talent was similar to Hongliang’s. Unfortunately, he had only ever studied planar arrays and had no concept of three-dimensional arrays. Even if he joined the Divine Mechanism Hall, he would still need to study for a period of time before he could truly keep up with the hall’s progress, since the things the Divine Mechanism Hall was now researching were already quite advanced.
Five more hours passed before Zhuge Qingsong finally emerged from his room. He had fully recovered and even seemed quite spirited. Clearly, he was very happy because he felt he had found the weakness in the array and could break it soon. Once he broke the array, they could get out, which was extremely important for them.
Zhuge Qingsong arrived at the command hall and glanced around. He was pleased to see a Kingdom-level expert still present. He hadn’t initially planned for one, but they had volunteered, demonstrating their unity, which was crucial for them. Zhuge Qingsong
said in a deep voice, “Pass on my order. Everyone prepare yourselves. Await my command. Input as much energy as possible into the magical artifact. We must break this formation today. We only have one chance. If we fail, we may never escape. Do you understand?”
Everyone responded. Zhuge Qingsong began adjusting the fireship’s angle, while the others waited anxiously.
