Volume 1: The Great Tribulation of Longhan Chapter 34: The Grand Formation is Completed, Ziwei Attacks
The starry sky.
Array diagram group.
"How are the preparations for the Jiamu position?"
"We are ready."
"Are the Bing and Wu directions ready?"
"It has been inspected and is absolutely appropriate."
"What about the Dingyou direction?"
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist!"
…
Taoist Yuanchen and Taoist Fuxi are constantly confirming the perfection of the formation diagram.
It's the last minute now, and we can't make any mistakes.
Refining group.
Yun Yangzi was also constantly checking.
"Have the battle flags in the East Sky Star Region been properly arranged?"
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist."
"Are there any unexpected surprises in the formation of the Southern Star Region?"
“No accidents have occurred since the last revision of the plan!”
…
Survey Group
Taoist Cangli confirmed the situation over and over again.
"Is there anyone on duty in the Northern Star Region?"
"I have already sent fellow Daoists Lanxiu and Kunyu to guard there for a long time!"
"Then have the people from the Western Heaven Star Region and Fellow Daoist Yun Yangzi connected?"
"It's connected."
…
In the central hall, Nuwa was on full alert.
Mingyu, Taoist Beichen, Star God Xiye, and Taoist Tengshe stood quietly in the hall, not daring to make a sound.
Not long after.
Cangli, Yunyangzi, Yuanchen and Fuxi came together.
They bowed to Nuwa and said:
"Everything is ready, the formation can be established!"
Nuwa heard this without any sign of relaxation and said:
"Please start, fellow Taoists."
It’s never too late to be happy once the formation is completed.
"yes!"
The four Taoists returned to their respective posts.
As the Taoists left, a formation diagram slowly rose into the air, with star-like lights radiating from above.
A star branch was suspended above the formation diagram.
In various star fields, the saints who received the orders took action.
Or activating formation patterns, or waving flags, or stepping into battle steps...
Small formations rose up in various star fields , and the small formations were linked together to form a large formation to protect the star field.
Afterwards, the major star field formations merged together to form a Zhoutian formation that covered most of the Eastern star realm.
As the formation took shape, the branches of the star tree transformed into a huge star tree.
Each of its branches is connected to a star, and three thousand branches represent three thousand stars.
After the Zhoutian Great Array was formed, the star tree began to circulate with starlight, emitting brilliant starlight.
At this time, the Zhoutian Array also began to operate frantically to draw in the chaotic energy.
Above the formation, one chaotic vortex channel after another appeared, and the rolling tides poured into the formation along the channels.
The chaotic tides were gradually transformed as the formation operated. After the rolling tides gathered at the location of the star tree, they turned into majestic innate spiritual energy.
The innate spiritual energy is transported along the branches of the star tree to various star fields and stars.
When the first wisp of chaotic tide was transformed into innate spiritual energy, the mysterious and yellow merits began to condense in the starry sky.
The great formation is constantly operating and merits are constantly accumulating.
When the formation completed a cycle, the Xuanhuang merits had turned into a golden ocean.
It is as much as one-tenth of Pangu’s merit in creating the world!
Subsequently, Xuanhuang's merits declined.
Twenty percent fell on Yuanchen and Beichen, one percent fell on Nuwa, half was equally divided among Yunyangzi, Fuxi, Cangli and Tengshe, and half fell on the formation diagram.
The remaining 60% was divided among more than 300 saints.
Mingyu also happily used the life halo to receive the merits that belonged to him.
The grand formation was completed, and the more than 300 sacred beings present were all delighted.
As long as this formation operates for one day, their merits and virtues will increase a little bit. Over the years, that will be a considerable number!
Of course, they also had regrets. This great Zhoutian formation failed to cover the entire Eastern Star Region because it had to avoid the closed main star. Otherwise, the merits of Xuanhuang would be even more considerable.
"If in the future I can..."
Many saints turned their gazes toward the western star realm.
If that is the case, then it would truly be a great merit.
Mingyu stared at the life halo and thought to himself.
He seemed to understand why he had tried to gain merit from "inventions" before but ultimately failed.
Merit, merit, only with merit can you gain.
Before this, the Way of Heaven was imperfect, and new things that appeared in the ancient times could fill the gaps in the Way of Heaven to a certain extent, so there would be merits.
But as the way of heaven continues to improve, it sets corresponding thresholds for "invention" so that there will not be too much merit at one time.
The first time is equivalent to a small reward, and the amount of merit will be determined based on the usage and scope of application of the invention.
His previous "inventions" were able to gain merit from the Way of Heaven, simply because they took advantage of the imperfections of the Way of Heaven.
Later, the Heavenly Dao raised the threshold and only gave him a symbolic bit of Xuanhuang merit for the things he "invented and created".
It is precisely because of this that Mingyu cannot even gather enough merit to improve the quality of her life halo and has to borrow from Nuwa.
"It seems that we need to adjust our thinking in the future and focus on things that can be promoted and have practical effects."
Mingyu stroked her smooth chin and made up her mind.
Just as Mingyu was daydreaming, a huge hand appeared in the sky.
It reached straight for the formation diagram in the starry sky.
A bright starlight fell and froze the big hand.
The stars in all directions are shining, as bright as day.
A river of stars surged with waves and shattered the huge hand.
"Ziwei, you really can't sit still anymore!"
Dou Mu Yuanjun appeared at the right time. She put away the Zhoutian Formation Diagram and looked towards the western starry sky with cold eyes.
A Taoist priest wearing a purple and gold robe and with an indescribable noble temperament appeared.
He didn't waste any words and attacked again.
A star fell from the sky, and thousands of murderous intentions collapsed the starry sky.
Dou Mu Yuanjun pulled out the silver hairpin from her hair, waved her hand, and a .
The cracks continued to expand and swallowed up the stars.
Then wave again.
A galaxy suddenly appeared, endless star tides overflowed, and the boundless starry sky waves swept in, trying to drown the Lord of Ziwei Star.
The Purple Star Lord's expression remained unchanged as he offered up a large seal and six small seals.
The seven seals are arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, suppressing the starry sky in all directions.
The star tide was instantly frozen.
At the same time, he took out a star flag, waved it, and the star tide gradually subsided.
Upon seeing this, Dou Mu Yuan Jun took out a hand drum and kept beating it.
The first time, the evil spirit descended
The second time, thousands of thunders raged
The third time, a storm in the sky arose
The fourth time, the bright purple light is like the sea
…
The seven seals of the Purple Star Lord determine the ten directions. Evil spirits and thunder cannot approach, and the purple light of storms cannot invade.
The star flag in his hand was waving continuously.
The two men kept attacking and countering each other's moves.
No one can do anything to anyone.
Suddenly, Dou Mu Yuan Jun showed her Dharma image.
Three eyes, four heads, eight arms.
The three eyes shone with divine light, the eight arms waved their magic weapons, and the four sounds of Tao sang in unison:
"Zi Wei, retreat quickly!"
Ziwei felt like he had been hit hard and took half a step back.
Then he suddenly woke up, his face looking terribly gloomy.
He stared at Dou Mu Yuan Jun and said, "Daoyou, you really have a good method!"
"It's not as good as fellow Taoist's magical powers."
Dou Mu Yuanjun retracted her Dharma image and responded indifferently,
"Fellow Daoist, please stay in my Eastern Starry Sky for a long time. Would you like to come to my Northern Dipper Heaven Realm and have a seat? You always stand at the door, and others think I am not treating you well enough."
“No need!”
The Lord of Ziwei Star turned and left.
