“According to the latest intelligence, the mysterious blood light formation beneath the Laiyang Fortress, which has already erupted, is not an isolated entity. It might be connected to other mysterious blood light formations that possibly exist, whether unknown or known!”
Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna’s expression was extremely solemn, “Moreover, this connection might be a formation connection!”
As he spoke, Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna took out a Shadow Capture Jade Slip, “This is part of the images our top experts risked their lives to obtain from beneath the Laiyang Fortress. Pass it around for viewing. Additionally, everyone who views this Shadow Capture Jade Slip must, upon leaving, use a secret technique to place a Divine Soul Imprint on the Oathkeeping Jade Scroll specially made by our Ancestor God Temple.”
Viewing it without leaking any information is the basic condition for such a supremely confidential jade slip, thus no one disagreed.
As they took turns waiting to view this supremely confidential Shadow Capture Jade Slip, everyone present wore a solemn expression.
The revelation from Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna was indeed shocking.
Though it was merely the phrase ‘formation connection,’ the significance of these words was anything but ordinary.
Great Zhou had already discovered that besides the mysterious blood light formation beneath the Laiyang Fortress that had erupted, and the mysterious blood light formation beneath the Blood River Fortress, which had been found but not erupted, there are other mysterious blood light formations throughout the entire Human Demon Battlefield.
Just looking at the power of the mysterious blood light formation beneath the Laiyang Fortress that had already erupted, its destructive capability was astonishing.
It not only conquered the Laiyang Fortress but turned it into an irremovable stronghold of the Demon Clan embedded in the Great Zhou’s Southern War Zone, causing severe difficulties and disadvantages in the operation of the whole Southern War Zone of the Human Demon Battlefield.
The Army of Great Zhou lost countless soldiers.
Apart from the forces of the Southern War Zone itself, it also tied down large numbers of the Eastern War Zone’s army, directly under the Grand Governor’s jurisdiction, as a mobile force, along with the reinforcements that Great Zhou was about to send.
The mysterious blood light formation beneath the Laiyang Fortress, which erupted independently, already caused such a massive impact.
It was like an unremovable sore festering on the battlefield of humans and demons.
In simple terms, the formation is a means through which ordinary forces could exert several times, even ten times, their original power and effect.
If the destructive power of the mysterious blood light formation beneath the Laiyang Fortress erupts tenfold, it’s estimated the entire Southern War Zone of the Human Demon Battlefield would rot away.
And based on current intelligence, such mysterious blood light formations are by no means limited to Laiyang Fortress and Blood River Military City alone.
Conservative estimates suggest that at least one exists in any given front line war zone.
In other words, once these mysterious blood light formations erupt and form chain reactions throughout the formations, the three front line war zones of the Human-Demon Battlefield of Great Zhou will become utterly devastated, perhaps even lost.
The consequences are simply unimaginable!
Within the silent chamber of the entire meeting, everyone, without exception, found their breathing becoming heavy, especially those who had seen it—displaying even more solemnity.
It wasn’t long before it was Ye Zhen’s turn to view the Shadow Capture Jade Slip.
Deep within the mysterious blood light formation beneath the erupted Laiyang Fortress, there were two very distinct formation passages, intricately engraved with countless formation patterns that Ye Zhen could not understand.
This drove Ye Zhen mad with frustration.
The numerous formation patterns that Ye Zhen could not comprehend weren’t entirely unfamiliar to him.
In part of the inheritance passed down from his master Lud Li of the Mystical Mechanism Daoist School, Ye Zhen had seen similar complex and extremely obscure formation patterns.
These overwhelmingly obscure formation patterns are known as Ancient Formation Patterns.
Ancient formation patterns, exceedingly complex and obscure, are extremely difficult to learn, but each contains immense power, superior to many of the currently popular formation patterns.
There exists a part of such ancient formation patterns in the inheritance from Master Lud Li, but Ye Zhen has never had the time to study them.
What Ye Zhen lacks now is time.
“Several Power Priests, what I want to know most now is, what is the purpose of the ancient formation patterns densely covering these formation passages?” After watching, Ye Zhen asked urgently.
“I didn’t expect you to know about ancient formation patterns.” Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo’s expression was a little surprised yet still bitter.
“The dense array of ancient formation patterns in these formation passages can be said to be the most ancient of all; Supreme Elder Wuy Lian recognized only one kind among them—sufficient in number—but if triggered, it possesses immense explosive power. The others, Supreme Elder Wuy Lian did not recognize at all and has already returned overnight to the Forbidden Land of the Ancestor God Temple to search through ancient texts there.”
“Explosive power?”
Ye Zhen instinctively inhaled sharply, “A significant number of ancient formation patterns, explosive power? If it erupts, wouldn’t it destroy all the defensive structures and defensive formations connected through the Earth Veins within the formation’s scope on the Human-Demon Battlefield?”
Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo silently nodded, then said with great difficulty, “This possibility is very high!”
“Without defensive structures and formations, is the Human-Demon Battlefield still even a battlefield?” Ye Zhen was at a loss.
At this moment, even Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna, who had shown no expression since entering, now wore a bitter face.
He bowed toward Hong Ru of the Heavenly Temple, “Lord Hong, does the Heavenly Temple have any understanding or means to decipher the ancient formation patterns witnessed in the formation passage on the Shadow Capture Jade Slip just now?”
Hong Ru also wore a solemn expression, “Tong Grand Power Sacrifice, I apologize!”
“As a monk, I have not delved much into the path of formations! However, among my fellow disciples, there are those who excel in the study of formations. If the Second Grand Power Sacrifice permits me to share the ancient formation patterns recorded in this Shadow Capture Jade Slip with others for research, I can give it a try.”
“Of course, you may.” The Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna readily agreed. “Please ask Lord Hong and your fellow disciples, even your master, to contribute their utmost efforts. This concerns the safety of the Human-Demon Battlefield. If something happens here, the entire Primordial Continent will be plunged into misery and suffering.”
“I understand!”
Hong Ru affirmed with confidence, “I will certainly urge my fellow disciples to do their best, even consulting their rarely-seen master. However, these ancient formation patterns have been lost for a long time, so I can’t guarantee any results.”
“The fate of the world is at stake, just do your best.” The Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna said.
Everyone present was aware of the severity of the situation; the rest of the meeting was no longer crucial.
It was about further strengthening the already established measures.
The first is to task the Human-Demon Battlefield Grand Commander’s Mansion with strictly implementing the strategies of corpse possession and burning corpses.
Without a solution to this underground mysterious Blood Light Formation, the only way is to use a brute-force method to prevent its continuous growth or even eruption.
The second is to task the Ancestor God Temple with continuing to assign personnel to accelerate the unraveling of the mysterious Blood Light Formation beneath the Blood River Military City.
Whether through formation-breaking techniques or brute-force methods.
The third is to instruct the Heavenly Patrol Department and Secret Overseer to accelerate the infiltration and acquisition of Demon Clan intelligence, sparing no expenses as long as similar intelligence can be obtained.
The fourth is to enhance the defenses of the Blood River Military City.
Should these underground mysterious Blood Light Formations be interconnected, a simultaneous eruption could destroy the entire Human-Demon Battlefield’s defenses and Defensive Arrays.
Therefore, the mysterious Blood Light Formation beneath the Blood River Military City is the most crucial link.
With formations, as long as one node is not triggered, the full power of the formation cannot be unleashed. Even if forced, its power would be greatly reduced.
By then, in the worst-case scenario, the mysterious Blood Light Formation beneath Blood River Military City would become the last hope to preserve the Human-Demon Battlefield’s defensive works and Defensive Arrays.
Subsequently, the meeting concluded.
Unexpectedly for Ye Zhen, this time, the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna did not urge Ye Zhen on the deadline for his task.
However, Ye Zhen became even more aware.
The Great Zhou’s obsession with the truth behind the underground mysterious Blood Light Formation beneath Laiyang Fortress has reached a fever pitch.
Ye Zhen believes that if he does not complete the task by the deadline, the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna will certainly take military action against him.
Moreover, by then, no one could plead for Ye Zhen or offer him an excuse.
This matter has escalated to a level of national importance.
After the meeting, the heir of Prince Lik’s Mansion, the Corps Leader of the Green Brilliance Army in the Human-Demon Battlefield Grand Commander’s Mansion, Ji Jiong, left the Blood River Military City in haste, returning to the Human-Demon Battlefield Grand Commander’s Mansion.
Following this meeting, according to the wishes of the Qiankun Palace of Luoyi, the previous measures must escalate to become the top priority.
In the battlefield, the most thorough method of implementing orders is to elevate and refine the details of this matter to the military law level.
After all, military law is as unyielding as a mountain!
The Holy Land True Inheritor from the Heavenly Temple, Hong Ru, did not leave the Blood River Military City.
This time, the Heavenly Temple did not send just him alone; he is merely the leader among them.
As a courtesy, Hong Ru and the group of Heavenly Temple experts were allocated a piece of land within the Blood River Forbidden Land, filled with small but exquisite rooms for rest.
Returning to his own Silent Chamber, Hong Ru casually set up a seemingly ordinary Guardian Formation, and immediately, four Heavenly Temple Great Divine Masters appeared silently, standing guard around Hong Ru’s Silent Chamber.
Inside the Silent Chamber, Hong Ru took out a gemstone that was as smooth as jade, filled with countless ripples internally, and with a thought from his Divine Sense, a strand of his Primordial Spirit Divine Thought entered the gemstone.
Almost simultaneously, within the Heavenly Temple Lower Court, the Heavenly Temple Moon Hall Master Baili Fei suddenly felt a change in emotion and casually pulled out an identical gemstone.
“It’s here!”
With a low command, countless Spiritual Power glows and vast Divine Soul power surged into the gemstone. Under the guidance, the strand of Primordial Spirit Divine Thought that Hong Ru sent forth transformed into an avatar, first bowing to Baili Fei.
“Greetings, Hall Master. Disciple has made a significant discovery and must report it to the Hall Master. Fearing leaks, I used this magical projection secret technique,” the avatar projection of Hong Ru said respectfully.
Baili Fei did not rush to reply but gave a command, “Rise,” and suddenly, hundreds of invisible formations rose abruptly from all sides of the hall, enveloping it tightly, preventing any eavesdroppers from hearing even a single word.
“Speak, what have you discovered!”
“Reporting to the Hall Master, the discovery in the mysterious Blood Light Formation beneath Laiyang Fortress, which has already erupted, is strikingly similar to the Secret Record I read in the Holy Land Secret Codex before my departure!”
“Especially one ancient formation pattern with explosive impact, it’s exactly the same!” As he spoke, Hong Ru paused, then said respectfully to Baili Fei, “What comes next, whether to help Great Zhou or not, and how to respond, I await your directives, Hall Master!”
