Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16438
Chapter 16436 Discovery
Just as they were flying forward, the seemingly ordinary forest in front of them suddenly vanished, and the next moment, the Cave Heaven City appeared before them. Above the Cave Heaven City, a hundred Creation Golden Wheels and countless spherical magical artifacts appeared. Most importantly, countless cultivators were flying out from beneath the Cave Heaven City, all dressed in uniform red robes, as crimson as blood.
Without the elder needing to speak, everyone stopped. The red-robed cultivators all turned to look at them, smiles on their faces. Those smiles, however, filled the eyes of the others with utter dread.
At this moment, a cultivator dressed in black flew out. He looked at the cultivators from the Divine Kingdom and smiled slightly, saying, “Go back and tell your people that we’ve taken over Dongtian City. By the way, here’s a piece of advice: you’d better leave the first line of defense, because it will soon be ours.”
Upon hearing this, the cultivators from the Divine Kingdom’s expressions changed. They exchanged glances, and then the elder in charge waved his hand and shouted, “Withdraw!”
No one spoke, but everyone retreated. They knew very well that attacking now was pointless. It seemed that the Blood Slaughter Sect had already occupied Dongtian City, and they still had so many Creation Golden Wheels and those large magic artifacts. It was too late for them to attack now.
They quickly returned to the teleportation array, but the elder, looking at it, suddenly realized what had happened. He immediately exclaimed, “Damn it! We’ve been tricked! They didn’t know where our teleportation array was before, but now they do! Quick, run! Split up!”
His words startled everyone, their expressions changing drastically. They exchanged glances, then scattered in all directions, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Just then, they heard a voice say, “You’re smart, you escaped really fast.” Hearing this, they sped up, looking behind them to see all the Blood Slaughter Sect’s spherical arrays appear at the teleportation array. A tentacle extended from one of the arrays, and a beam of energy struck the teleportation array, destroying it instantly.
Seeing this, they ran even faster, but fortunately, the Blood Slaughter Sect members didn’t pursue them, retreating back to Dongtian City.
Soon those people returned to their bases and reported the matter directly. Everyone at each base knew what had happened and reported it as well. Gongliang Juewen once again summoned everyone from each sect to the main hall of Wukong City.
Once everyone had arrived, Gongliang Juewen looked at them with a grim expression and said, “You’ve all heard about what happened in Dongtian City, haven’t you? What are your thoughts on this?”
The group exchanged glances, remaining silent for a while before one of the sect leaders finally spoke up: “We were planning an attack on Qianhe Mountain, but they turned the tables and attacked us first, even warning us to retreat from the first line of defense. Aren’t they taking themselves too seriously?”
Hearing this, everyone else nodded. However, one person remained frowning, seemingly deep in thought. Gongliang Juewen noticed this and immediately asked, “Wenjing, what do you have to say?” His words drew everyone’s attention to Wenjing.
Wen Jing glanced at Gongliang Juewen and the others, then spoke, “Your Majesty, I’m wondering, what exactly does the Blood Slaughter Sect’s warning mean this time?”
Everyone was taken aback, then looked at Wen Jing with some confusion. Gongliang Juewen asked, “Do you think their warning has another meaning?”
Wen Jing replied, “We’ve already experienced the Blood Slaughter Sect’s array techniques; they are indeed extremely powerful. Moreover, they possess the Creation Golden Wheel and that spherical magic weapon. We know that the spherical magic weapon can release spells and can also be used in close combat. As for the Creation Golden Wheel, the Creation God Sect has been using it incorrectly. This kind of magic weapon can only unleash its greatest power in the hands of someone who truly understands arrays. It can be said that…” “Their combat power is already formidable, but we have over a hundred bases along the first line of defense, not to mention the second line we’ve built. Even if they were to take down all the bases along the first line, it would take a very long time. Even if they attacked one by one, it would probably take them several years to conquer the first line. But now they say the first line will soon be theirs. A little over a year isn’t very fast. Could their ‘soon’ mean they have a special method to speed up the attack on the first line? And could this method be related to magic arrays?”
Upon hearing his words, everyone’s expression changed. They all looked at him, and Gongliang Juewen spoke up, “Is there any magic array that can quickly take down the first line of defense?”
Wen Jing shook his head, saying, “Your Majesty, I cannot think of one. All the magic arrays I know cannot quickly take down the first line of defense. Perhaps it’s because all the magic arrays I know are inferior to those of the Blood Slaughter Sect.” Gongliang Juewen’s expression grew
even more grim. He said in a deep voice, “Fine, if you can’t think of one, then you can’t. Let’s think about how to deal with the Blood Slaughter Sect. How did they manage to take down a base in such a short time? As far as I know, the defenses of the underground base in Dongtian City are probably the best of all the bases, right?”
Everyone nodded. Qingxuan said, “That’s right, the defenses of the underground base in Dongtian City are indeed the best. Not only does it have the Illusion Stone Array, but also…” Because of the presence of a fire vein there, Qingyou had also built a fire dragon array there for defense. However, those at the teleportation array outside the base noticed something was wrong. From the arrival of reinforcements from various sects to their retreat, only one or two hours had passed. In such a short time, the Dongtian City base had already been captured, demonstrating the speed of their attack. I’m wondering how they managed it. With so many people and two arrays in the base, how could they capture it in such a short time? It’s terrifying.”
Everyone frowned. Just then, a cultivator suddenly spoke up: “It’s indeed very strange. Could it be related to the arrays they used?”
Upon hearing the mention of arrays, everyone turned to look at Wen Jing, only to find him sitting there with a frown, his eyes unfocused, as if deep in thought. Seeing his expression, no one asked him any further questions.
Just as everyone was about to say something more, Wen Jing suddenly spoke up: “I remember now, but that’s impossible.” His voice was loud, startling everyone.
Everyone was stunned upon hearing his words. They all looked at Wen Jing with some confusion. Wen Jing, also looking astonished, stood up and bowed to Gongliang Juewen, saying, “Your Majesty, I remember now. I recall an ancient text from our Zhenyu Sect mentioning a method that, when used to its highest level, can utilize mountains and rivers as array symbols to create an awe-inspiring array. This array is enormous and its power is unparalleled; no one can break it. In fact, the Blood Slaughter Sect has already demonstrated this array to us before, at Thousand Lotus Mountain. Thousand Lotus Mountain is so large, yet they used an array to completely cover it. This is no simple mountain protection.” “I didn’t think too deeply about what the grand formation could do at the time, but now that I think about it, they might be using this legendary method of formation. Could they also be planning to use this method on the first line of defense?”
Thinking this, Wen Jing immediately said, “Your Majesty, I request that you bring up the map of the first line of defense, as well as the maps of Wuwei City, Dongtian City, and Jushi City.”
Gongliang Juewen replied, “Granted.” Immediately, eunuchs went to fetch the maps, and soon four huge maps were carried to the main hall. These four maps were placed on four shelves, which could fully open the maps so that everyone could see them clearly.
Wen Jing went to the first line of defense. He first located the three cities of Wuwei City, Jushi City, and Dongtian City, and marked their locations. After marking the locations of these three cities, his expression immediately turned extremely grim.
He then walked to the map of the three cities, carefully examining the terrain around them. With each city he examined, his expression grew increasingly grim. After finishing the map, his face changed completely. He immediately bowed to Gongliang Juewen and said, “Your Majesty, I understand. The Blood Slaughter Sect intends to use these three cities along the first defensive line to set up a legendary array.”
Pointing to the overall map of the first defensive line, he continued, “Your Majesty, please look here. These three cities are located at three crucial points along the defensive line, almost dividing it equally. Looking at the map of these three cities, there is an important…” “The iron mine has a gold vein, the Giant Stone City is famous for its stone production and has an earth vein, and the Cave Heaven City has a fire vein. Fire generates earth, and earth generates metal; the attributes of these three cities are mutually reinforcing. If three magic arrays of the same attribute are built in these three cities, and these three magic arrays originate from the same source, and then some energy magic arrays are set up in some places along the first line of defense, then they could potentially build an enormous Three Talents Array along the first line of defense. If they really build this array, then all the underground bases along the first line of defense will be under its coverage, and those of us on the first line of defense will likely be wiped out.”
