Volume 5: Baptism of Life and Death Chapter 620: Building a Spirit Gathering Array
It was not until nearly half an hour later that Li Xuanfeng's body became blurred again. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the purple annihilation space and returned to the cave again.
After returning to the cave, Li Xuanfeng looked extremely helpless. He didn't expect that it would take so long to get out of the Purple Destruction Space.
Although he can now enter and exit the Purple Destruction Space, it takes too long, nearly half an hour to enter and exit. Therefore, he can only choose to enter the Purple Destruction Space in an empty secluded place.
Although the process of entering the Purple Destruction Space can be interrupted, if other cultivators see this scene, it will definitely arouse suspicion and even lead to the secret of the Purple Destruction Stick being discovered.
However, Li Xuanfeng has no other options now. He can't find any way to improve his ability to travel through space. He can only increase his speed as his cultivation level improves or he becomes more proficient in traveling through space.
After returning to Xuanling Sect again, Li Xuanfeng immediately went to find his senior brother Zheng Cheng.
Li Xuanfeng proposed the idea of building a large spirit gathering array in the sect. Naturally, the eldest senior brother Zheng Cheng fully agreed and even said that the materials in the sect were at Li Xuanfeng's disposal.
Li Xuanfeng was not polite either. He wrote out a very long list and asked Zheng Cheng to prepare the materials for refining the formation.
Not only that, Li Xuanfeng also gathered the elders in Xuanling Sect who were proficient in formations and began the work of building a large spirit gathering formation.
Although Li Xuanfeng's cultivation has reached the second level, his research on the art of formations is not in-depth. It would be more efficient to get twice the result with half the effort if he could find these elders who are proficient in formations to build together.
Upon hearing that it was an invitation from Grand Elder Li Xuanfeng, the expressions of these elders suddenly became extremely excited. They immediately put down the matters in their hands or ended their retreat and rushed to help Li Xuanfeng.
Li Xuanfeng proposed to build a spirit gathering array whose grade exceeded that of the perfect spirit god realm, which immediately made all the elders applaud.
The spirit gathering formation within the Xuanling Sect is still only at the initial stage of the Spirit God Realm. If a spirit gathering formation that exceeds the perfection of the Spirit God Realm could be built, the concentration of spiritual power within the Xuanling Sect would be greatly increased!
As the concentration of spiritual power increases, the speed of cultivation of disciples and elders will be accelerated, making the strength of Xuanling Sect increase faster.
This is a project that will benefit generations to come.
After hearing Li Xuanfeng's ideas, these elders were filled with excitement. It was a great honor for them to be able to participate in such a project, and now they could complete it together with the Grand Elder, which made them feel very lucky.
Thinking of this, the expressions of these elders were filled with excitement. They even neglected sleep and food for this matter, and only wanted to build this spirit gathering formation as quickly as possible.
However, with their level of cultivation, they do not need to sleep and eat, but they have put aside their cultivation and the matters at hand and devoted themselves to the task of building the spirit gathering array.
The task of these elders is to research a set of sophisticated formation drawings, and Li Xuanfeng will build this spirit gathering formation according to the drawings.
Upon learning that the Supreme Elder was going to build this spirit gathering formation himself, the expressions of these elders suddenly became more excited, and many ideas that had previously been impossible to realize were boldly put forward.
The cultivation level of Grand Elder Li Xuanfeng has reached the second realm, which is simply incomparable to them. Many refining tasks that they cannot complete can be easily completed by the Grand Elder.
Because of this, these elders were extremely bold and combined everything they had learned, and finally handed a formation blueprint to Li Xuanfeng a month later.
Under the witness of these elders, Li Xuanfeng began to build this spirit gathering array with his own hands.
Before refining, Li Xuanfeng smiled and said, "I would like to ask all elders to temporarily forget my identity. If there is anything inappropriate in the refining, please point it out immediately without any scruples."
After hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, all the elders nodded with a smile. They completely relaxed in their hearts and no longer felt nervous about facing the Grand Elder.
Originally they were a little hesitant to make any requests to Li Xuanfeng, but now they found that the Supreme Elder had no intention of doing anything at all, so they immediately relaxed and asked him to pay attention to various aspects of refining.
At this time, they had entered a state of selflessness, and their only thought was to complete the construction of this spirit gathering formation.
The most basic and important part of the art of formation is the formation base.
Refining a sufficiently sophisticated array base is the most important step in unleashing the power of the array.
Although the formation base thought out by the elders this time was quite complicated, with Li Xuanfeng's second-level cultivation level refining it, everything became quite simple.
When Li Xuanfeng was refining the formation base, all the elders kept a close eye on his every move, fearing that any omissions would cause problems when connecting the formation.
With Li Xuanfeng's current vast spiritual power and divine consciousness, he could refine the array base extremely quickly, and he could refine several array bases at the same time, which made the elders overwhelmed. In the end, they had no choice but to decide to divide their attention and split into two groups, each focusing on refining half of the array base.
The Spirit Gathering Formation was not an overly complicated formation, but it required extremely expensive materials to refine the formation base, which was simply not something a small sect could afford.
The materials used in the spirit gathering array that Li Xuanfeng was going to build this time were enough to make even the big sects shudder at the mere mention of it.
If Li Xuanfeng had not accumulated a large amount of materials before, and if Xuanling Sect had not obtained most of the gains after destroying the four evil sects, as well as the accumulation of several decades, I am afraid that even Xuanling Sect would not be able to bear it!
This time of refining almost used up all the materials of Xuanling Sect for refining the formation, and even Shen Hua and Zheng Cheng felt a little painful.
Although they felt a little reluctant about so many materials, Shen Hua and Zheng Cheng fully supported Li Xuanfeng's decision.
They all knew that although refining the Spirit Gathering Array would incur great losses, it would benefit the sect for generations to come, with only benefits and no harm.
Ten days later, there were already thousands of array bases floating in front of Li Xuanfeng. At this time, all the array bases needed for the spirit gathering array had been refined.
The next step is to place all the array bases one by one according to the structure on the blueprint.
Li Xuanfeng even separated all five clones to speed up the process of burying the array base underground, so that he could connect all the array bases more quickly and build a complete spirit gathering array.
When constructing this large spirit gathering formation, it was combined with the sect protection formation, which increased the power of the sect protection formation by another 20%, and it was supported by spiritual power far exceeding that before.
One day later, thousands of array bases were buried. Li Xuanfeng controlled five clones at the same time, using spiritual power to connect all the array bases, instantly opening this spirit gathering array.
Although this formation has not yet reached the level of the second realm, it has already reached the grade of half-step second realm and can burst out with an extremely terrifying speed of gathering spirits.
The spiritual power between heaven and earth suddenly gathered towards Xuanling Sect at an extremely astonishing speed. The spiritual power in Xuanling Sect, which had become thin due to Li Xuanfeng's breakthrough in cultivation, was suddenly replenished at a rapid speed.
In just half a day, the spiritual energy level within the Xuanling Sect was completely restored, and was even slightly higher than before Li Xuanfeng's breakthrough.
Feeling the rapid recovery of the spiritual energy in the sect and hearing that the Supreme Elder had led many elders to build a spirit gathering formation, the expressions of the elders and disciples of the Xuanling Sect became extremely excited.
Feeling the rapidly recovering spiritual power in the sect, the elders and disciples of Xuanling Sect all had more respect for Li Xuanfeng. They were impressed that the Supreme Elder did not forget to build such an exquisite spirit gathering formation after his breakthrough in cultivation, in order to speed up everyone's cultivation.
But they never imagined that the main purpose of the Supreme Elder Li Xuanfeng was to save another person, and they could only be considered to have benefited from it.
If everyone knew about this, they would probably be stunned. The main purpose of the Supreme Elder building this formation was not to increase their cultivation speed.
Because the spirit gathering array was activated, the Xuanling Sect suddenly burst out with an extremely terrifying spirit gathering speed, which immediately attracted the attention of other sects.
They soon heard that Xuanling Sect's Grand Elder Li Xuanfeng took the lead in building the Spirit Gathering Array, and they also heard that Li Xuanfeng's cultivation had broken through the second realm.
After hearing these two things, the leaders and elders of the other four major sects all looked gloomy and helpless, but they could only shake their heads and smile bitterly, not daring to express the slightest dissatisfaction.
They already knew that the Xuanling Sect had a supreme elder and a spirit gathering formation above the Spirit God Realm, and the speed at which its strength was increasing had far surpassed that of the other four sects!
I'm afraid that the strength of their four major sects can no longer be equal to or even surpass that of the Xuanling Sect, unless a disciple with extremely extraordinary qualifications appears in the sect.
In the eyes of the four major sects, even if a disciple with extremely extraordinary talent appears, he needs to be able to grow up safely...
After building the spirit gathering array, Li Xuanfeng thanked the elders and returned to the cave to meditate again.
After activating the previously prepared formation again to cover the entire cave, Li Xuanfeng raised his hand and made a slight gesture. Suddenly, overlapping shadows appeared on his body, and a figure in a red robe stepped out in an instant.
It was Li Xuanfeng’s fire clone.
Li Xuanfeng smiled slightly and whispered to the Fire Clone standing beside him: "I'll leave this place to you."
The fire clone nodded slightly, sat down cross-legged, and changed into a blue robe. The power of his spiritual consciousness spread out and covered the entire Xuanling Sect within a hundred miles.
The reason why the Fire Clone was used as the guardian was to prevent the appearance of someone in the second realm, so that the power of their spiritual consciousness could penetrate the defense he had set up.
With this preparation, even if someone can send their spiritual consciousness through the formation he set up, they will be able to sense the fire clone left by Li Xuanfeng here.
He also changed the red robe of the fire clone, and used the technique to conceal his spiritual power. Even for someone familiar with the situation, it would be difficult to discover that there was only one clone of Li Xuanfeng in the cave.
However, if someone is not familiar with Li Xuanfeng, they would instantly think that he is a cultivator.
Even if the other party's cultivation is much stronger than Li Xuanfeng's, when he senses the fire clone, he will not realize that it is just a clone, but will instantly think that it is the original body.
Li Xuanfeng's clone was separated using the art of splitting the soul. In the true sense, this is not a clone, but another original body that was refined!
