Chapter 1803 Building a Camp
Chapter 1803 Building a Camp
"That's correct?"
Xiang Dehong looked at Chen Wanli with a puzzled expression.
So what if this teleportation array didn't originate from the Demon Cave?
All eyes turned to Chen Wanli, whose smile was profound.
The last time Chen Wanli came to Yueluo Cave, he used the teleportation array to travel to different regions, and he didn't think much of it.
Just now outside the Moon God Platform, Xuan San asked if the array at the entrance led to the first level of the Moon God Platform.
The seemingly ordinary question inexplicably triggered a cheeky, rhetorical question in Chen Wanli's mind: If not to go to the first floor of the Moon God Platform, where else could we go?
However, just as he was about to blurt it out, Chen Wanli's scalp went numb!
How can we be sure that the ultimate location of this teleportation array can only be the first floor?
It's not impossible to teleport to the second, third, or even fifth or seventh level of the Moon God Platform.
This was just a baseless thought.
But this still aroused Chen Wanli's vigilance.
Based on his understanding of teleportation arrays from the Immortal Healer's Scripture, there was indeed room for manipulation, but the cost would be quite high.
I couldn't help but silently speculate: if this formation really had the potential to change like this, then who created it?
Was it later built by the Demon Cave Clan for the convenience of exploration?
Did Ye Zhenjun create this himself to achieve his goals?
It seems possible.
Throughout the journey, Chen Wanli kept pondering this matter. Starting from logical possibilities, he also thought of another possibility.
It may have always been there.
As a remnant of the spirit realm, it is possible that it possesses inter-regional teleportation arrays.
Chen Wanli had no clue which one it was, and could only calculate it by elimination.
As the clan most skilled in formations in ancient times, the Xiangshou clan certainly had keen eyesight.
According to Xiang Dehong, the possibility of the Demon Cave being created by the three races of demons, monsters, and gods is decreasing.
The latter two possibilities are increasing.
If Ye Zhenjun is indeed an old monster from the spirit world who possessed another body, then even if he didn't create it, but rather it was an existing teleportation device from the spirit world, the probability that he knew about it is very high.
The probability that Ye Zhenjun could use the teleportation array to do something underhanded has increased.
Upon reaching this conclusion, Chen Wanli's expression relaxed slightly.
It must be said that among the forces that have entered the Moon God Platform with ulterior motives, Ye Zhenjun's purpose is the most unclear.
Without knowing their purpose, it's difficult to judge what they will do next or what they can do.
Then there is no way to prevent it.
The discovery of the teleportation array here is, for Chen Wanli, at least a clue.
Although we don't yet know what this loose thread is for, it's definitely important.
Seeing Chen Wanli's delighted expression, everyone was completely bewildered.
"Alright, let's not talk about that now, let's set up a camp first!"
Chen Wanli waved his hand, directly changing the subject.
The crowd was puzzled, but they didn't press for an answer.
Building the city is the priority right now.
Outside the city, there are many voices opposing the construction of the Moon God Platform.
Now, everyone is filled with anticipation.
If the Soul Devouring problem can be solved, this place will be far better for the cultivation of the gods than the Demon Cave.
They even hoped to explore the second or even third level of the Lunar Divine Platform and find a treasure spot!
Xuan Lie also had this thought in mind, and couldn't help but ask, "Does Ancestor Chen intend to build a city on the first level of the Moon Extreme Divine Platform?"
Chen Wanli saw through their thoughts at a glance and shook his head inwardly, thinking, "Greedy!"
Whether human, god, demon, or monster, greed is ingrained in our genes.
Before they came in, they all had a lot of complaints, and were afraid of everything.
Once inside, he immediately became distracted and greedy.
Based on his current understanding of the Lunar Altar, the risks increase exponentially with each subsequent level.
The first level is considered manageable in terms of risk, but the second level is somewhat beyond the scope of the curriculum.
When he was traveling from the second floor to the third floor, he had to drink a lot of the Soul Devourer's potion that guarded the teleportation array before he could barely send his golden body in.
Of course, his strength has greatly improved now, and with the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun behind him to use each other, he is no longer the same as before.
But Chen Wanli had another consideration.
After all, he didn't really intend to sell out the Protoss. A more controllable layer also meant that if trouble really arose, the Protoss could get away more quickly.
"Eat your food one bite at a time!" Chen Wanli only said this one sentence.
But Xuan Lie immediately understood and bowed, saying, "I will leave it to Chen Shenzu to arrange."
Chen Wanli nodded, his gaze sweeping over the Nascent Soul level warriors present, and said slowly and deliberately:
"Don't rush to choose a site, build the camp first! I will create some array treasures, and you will divide into teams to use them to clear out the soul-devouring enemies, and then choose a site to build the city's protective array."
"A campsite would be a safer place for temporary rest. What do you think?"
After a moment's thought, everyone nodded.
Their trust in Chen Wanli has also increased significantly. Although this method is slow, it is indeed reliable and has no intention of using the gods as cannon fodder.
"If we don't know how the camp is built, what can we do? This fire barrier is entirely dependent on Chen Shenzu; it's not a long-term solution, is it?"
Xuan San pointed to the golden flame barrier that enveloped her head.
A campsite is a place for rest and recuperation, and naturally it must be able to isolate soul-devouring activities so that everyone can rest and recuperate in peace.
The only thing that can restrain Soul Devouring is Chen Wanli's fire magic, but it's impossible to keep Chen Wanli using his own magic power to maintain it indefinitely.
Everyone looked at Chen Wanli, their expressions showing the same confusion.
Chen Wanli could manage to keep up with his supernatural powers for a day or two, but wouldn't he be completely exhausted after three, five, seven, or eight days?
Xiang Dehong coughed lightly: "The Xiang Beast Clan knows a formation that can be maintained for half a day. If they keep building formations..."
Chen Wanli curled his lip: "Where would we find so many spiritual materials to consume like this?"
"what?"
"Although it consumes some spiritual materials, it's still better than damaging Chen Shenzu's divine power!"
"Does Chen Shenzu have another way?"
With his palm facing upwards, a tiny, crimson flame, as red as heart's blood, appeared in Chen Wanli's hand.
It was not a scorching flame, but a warm, vibrant light that pulsed with the rhythm of life—the Phoenix Clan's original flame.
"The Phoenix Clan's supreme treasure, the Original Bright Flame?"
With an exclamation.
Chen Wanli gently pressed the fire into the ground beneath his feet.
A series of complex runes were laid down.
The talisman, like specks of starlight, merged with the primordial fire, and upon touching the ground, it did not explode into flames, but rather dissolved rapidly like a drop of water seeping into sand.
Countless fine, hair-like golden-red fire lines spread out in all directions from the point of impact, outlining a huge and complex ancient totem.
Where the lines passed, the scorched earth revealed fine cracks, and deep within the cracks, a faint reddish-gold light flowed.
"rise."
As Chen Wanli gave his deep, resonant command, the earth trembled slightly.
All the fire lines rose upwards simultaneously!
They solidify and intertwine three feet above the ground, forming a translucent fence of flames.
It was not a solid wall, but a barrier composed of countless gently swaying feathers of light, layer upon layer, emanating a soft yet unassailable warmth.
The brightest point in the center shoots straight into the sky, and the shape of the flames vaguely resembles the outline of a phoenix with its wings folded and resting. With each breath it takes, warm ripples spread outwards.
Everyone gaped, speechless with shock at the scene before them.
The members of the Xiangshou clan were all dumbfounded.
Although they had witnessed Chen Wanli's battle skills before, they were still astonished.
Such a grand formation was created with just a wave of the hand, surpassing even the extraordinary talents and abilities of the Xiangshou clan.
"This formation can hold out for seven days. Within seven days, you just need to choose a good location for the city. After seven days, Benming's firepower will be exhausted, and the camp's protection will be rendered useless."
Chen Wanli said calmly, then added, "The elite of the Xiangshou clan will stay. I will teach you how to make some basic Fire Eye Array treasures. The rest of you can rest for now."
After some arrangements, only a few dozen elite members of the Xiangshou clan remained with Chen Wanli.
After a brief explanation, the Xiangshou clan understood Chen Wanli's meaning: they would create the foundation for the array treasure, and Chen Wanli would then seal strands of Yin and Yang fire within it.
When encountering a Soul Devourer, opening the Fiery Eye will cause divine fire to erupt.
They had witnessed the power of the Yin and Yang Fires; even a Soul Devourer with Nascent Soul level combat power would either die or be seriously injured if touched by them.
It is indeed a good way to clean up soul-devouring enemies on a large scale.
Moreover, this treasure array is very easy to make.
In just two or three hours, more than a thousand were produced.
Fang Fengpei and Xuan San immediately armed the team and they went out in separate formations.
Half a day later, almost every soldier in the Protoss army was equipped with the Fire Eye Array Treasure.
Chen Wanli also returned to cultivation from the state of "creating things".
Three days in a row.
Chen Wanli remained seated without moving.
The Xiangshou clan is still frantically "manufacturing array treasures".
Along the way, Chen Wanli and Xiang Dehong seemed to have discussed things a few times, but they were too busy cleaning up the Soul Devouring God Clan army to notice.
On the fourth day, Lei Ze and Kua Fu appeared nearby with their followers.
"What a grand display! I thought the city site was here!" Kuafu Chong pointed to the huge phoenix shadow above the camp.
Xuan Lie smiled and said, "I have indeed chosen a good place. Since you are here, let's go and take a look together! Once we have decided on a location, we will report back to Emperor Chen Shenzu."
He then recounted the details of clearing up the Soul Devouring to the elites of the two clans.
Old Ancestor Lei Ze didn't say anything, but Kuafu Chong stared at Xiang Shou Shi's "processing team" for a long time, his eyes half-closed:
"They're still making array treasures? They don't look quite like the ones you were assigned to."
Lei Jiang immediately curled his lip and said, "Why don't you go and ask Chen Shenzu for details? Let him explain to you what the function of each treasure is?"
Kuafu Chong Shen glanced at Lei Jiang.
This kid is far too vigilant.
Go ask Chen Wanli? He's got nothing better to do than be stubborn and ask for a beating.
"Humph!"
Kuafu Chong turned and left.
