Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 174 Appearance
There was no change on the array plate.

The external smuggling array that he had connected to himself was not specifically displayed on the array plate that monitored all the arrays.

The person controlling the array disk was unable to discover that there was a loophole in his own warning array.

I'm afraid they won't be able to discover what tricks someone has done to their Ten Thousand Peoples Formation.

Lin Jian always believed that the chill that was like a bone-eating chill must have its source, and the most urgent task was to catch the person behind the scenes who had been hiding in the dark until now.

"Can you transfer the control to me?" Lin Jian asked inquiringly.

It’s not reliable to rely on the abbot.

The other party obviously didn't make much progress in the art of formation.

Even the simple secret door he made has not been discovered yet. It is difficult for Lin Jian to expect that the other party can discover another more critical change in the formation.

The abbot looked hesitant.

Bringing Lin Jian over to take a look shows that he has absolute confidence in his own cultivation.

Even if he is not good at fighting, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage can kill a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage with just a breath.

The huge gap in spiritual awareness allowed him to kill Lin Jian with just a thought.

The huge gap in their cultivation made him not afraid of any counterattack from Lin Jian. This was the most important reason why he dared to bring Lin Jian here.

And now, the other party directly reached out and demanded...

It was a bit beyond his expectations and was indeed a bit presumptuous.

But for the time being, since the actual operator of the other party's formation plate failed to discover the secret door he opened, the other party had already lost his prestige in Lin Jian's mind in terms of formation.

So, without waiting for the abbot to say anything to refuse, Lin Jian took the initiative to speak, "Abbot, can you carefully feel the difference between today's warning array and usual ones?"

"What's different?" The abbot recalled his memory in confusion.

His cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage has allowed him to merge his memories and spiritual consciousness into one, storing them all in the Nascent Soul.

No matter how devastating the blow to his body is, as long as his Nascent Soul is still alive, he can reshape his physical body, or directly take over another body, and ensure that this spirit occupying the new body still belongs completely to him.

Memory is the core of shaping a person's soul. As a Yuanying stage, he checks his memory as if watching the past that has been recorded in his mind.

The frame belonging to the array disk was frozen in the field of vision.

The overlapping of memory and reality, the completely identical comparison allowed him to discover a few anomalies in the array's feedback.

"The consumption of spiritual energy seems to be a little off?"

"The time to complete a cycle should be slightly extended, right?" Lin Jian reminded.

"Ah~" the abbot responded, "Ah, yes, yes! I was just about to say it."

Lin Jian pointed to the direction where he had made a secret door and said, "Abbot, you can try to use your spiritual power to flood this place. Perhaps you will find something new."

The abbot believed it even more now, and used a special spell to guide the magic circle, calling upon the spiritual power in it to begin to focus on irrigating the target area pointed to by the forest.

If someone were around the courtyard wall at this moment, they might be able to see that the patterns carved on the entire wall began to emit a faint golden light under the activation of spiritual power, and the light and dark were intertwined like breathing.

The mobilization of more spiritual power in this short period of time requires the consumption of energy that the entire warning array needs to maintain for a long time.

And as this spiritual power washed over again and again, some traces of lines began to appear faintly on the array plate.

Wherever there is a trace, there must be a trace. A small trick set up in the forest might be able to deceive the formation for a while, but as long as the enemy is always careful and checks frequently, such a hidden door will never last long.

Looking at the intermittent traces that looked like a small window protruding outward, the abbot was dumbfounded, "This, this, this..."

"I did it." Lin Jian admitted generously.

The abbot's heart tightened, "You..."

"How else did we get in?" Lin Jian looked at him with a smile, "Could it be that the abbot thinks we're inside your temple?"

Lin Jian continued, "If I can do it, others may be able to do it too. So before you even realize it, your temple's magic circle may have been penetrated like a sieve. Senior Abbot, for now, you have no choice but to trust me!"

The abbot hesitated for a moment before pulling out a small, exquisite core from his storage ring. "This is the core of the formation disk. Refining it will allow you to fully control the formation disk. However..."

The abbot pushed the core in mid-air and sent it to Lin Jian. "It's not easy to refine the core. I spent more than a month back then..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Lin Jian had bitten the tip of his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The diffuse blood mist instantly enveloped the core of the array disk that was emitting dazzling golden light, and the spiritual consciousness from the forest quickly accepted the core of the array disk.

Before the abbot could finish his words, he discovered that the connection between him and the core of the formation disk had been completely severed. "...Huh?"

Is it refined now?
"What's wrong?"

"It's okay." The abbot cut off the words he had just said.

This young man who was able to become a third-grade alchemist in the Foundation Establishment Stage is indeed quite capable. I didn't expect that he is also quite knowledgeable in formations.

I had always thought that he had a connection with Buddhism, and it turned out to be true!

This was actually the first time that Lin Jian came into contact with something like a formation plate.

But after accepting the core of the formation disk, the many ways of using the formation disk naturally became clear to him.

I saw a faint golden light on his palm, and he flipped his hand and passed it across the sky above the formation plate.

Golden rays of light intertwined and overlapped above the sand table in front of him, revealing the complete form of an entire magic circle.

……

Being in the formation, many believers who went up the mountain to catch thieves for Minguang Temple were all looking up at the sky at this moment.

The night that should have been dark is now illuminated by golden light.

Even the four imperial masters who were trapped in front of the Great Compassion Hall by a group of monks stood up and looked up in a daze at this strange phenomenon in the sky, watching the light spots with spiritual power wandering and flowing in the countless extremely complex array structures.

Within these golden lines, the courtyards, corridors, and temples are no longer their original material structures.

The golden lines outlined its position in this huge magic circle.

The place where the lines are densest and finally converge is underground beneath everyone's feet...

The collected true flames of the sun were transformed into blazing flames here, making the temperature of the entire Mingguang Temple a bit hotter than that in the imperial city even at night.

The golden faith from the believers was gradually transmitted downwards from the surviving structures of each hall. Even at night when there were no believers worshipping, the power of faith that had not been fully digested during the day kept the formation running day and night.

If one were to look down from a high vantage point and take in the entire Myriad Peoples Formation, perhaps one could roughly see...

This structure made up of all the golden lines looks like a giant tripod from a distance.
