C1088 Arena continued 2
3On the first day after the war, when Yang Junshan had taken complete control of the land region, the cultivators guarding the land region had won a great victory.
In a battle with the alien cultivators, the human side had killed five alien cultivators that were at least at the True Demon level, wounding more than ten of them. However, not a single one of them had lost, and only six or seven of them had sustained varying degrees of injuries.
Outside of the great war between the high level cultivators, the casualties were even greater among the low level cultivators below the Martial Disciple Stage. However, with the protection of the Three Meridians Treasure Formation, the casualties on the human side were much lower than on the foreign side.
Yang Junshan had subdued most of the cultivators in the Earth Domain with just a single battle.
Compared to the former, they were much more willing to form partners with fellow daoists who could trust each other and hunt each other in the mysterious space of the Earth Fire Abyss Prison. This also caused Yang Junshan some degree of difficulty, after all, they had been constantly paying attention to the situation in the Earth Fire Abyss Prison for a long time, even to Yang Junshan, they were still an extremely heavy burden.
The next day, the cultivators of the Earth Realm suffered zero casualties once again. Only three cultivators returned with injuries, but they brought back two heads of higher cultivation level or higher. In the Three Meridians Pond, Yang Junshan once again used up all the power of his Dao array.
On the third day, the situation changed. The high-level Earth Realm cultivator finally met his doom, and he was the only one that died. Yang Junshan was distracted, so before he could use the array's power to assist, this Heavenly Dipper cultivator was suddenly beheaded by a Heavenly Dipper Realm senior from the Shi Clan.
The Earth Realm cultivators didn't blame Yang Junshan for this. Compared to the cost of killing the alien cultivators, Yang Junshan's Three Meridians Treasure Formation had only taken three days to kill a cultivator. This was enough to shock everyone.
Only Yang Junshan himself knew that this rogue cultivator called Lin Hui could have been saved. However, just as Sage Lin Hui was in danger, the Three Meridians Treasure Formation was suddenly activated. Someone was trying to steal away the remaining power of the Dao formation!
He had only used the remaining 16% of his power to defend the enemy. Before he had the time to ask the Heavenly Realm and the Human Realm for the stolen power of the fourth array, he had already found the convenient one, and had not even spared the last bit of its power.
If this was tolerable, then so be it!
Yang Junshan immediately started his counterattack. However, facing the aggressive pressure from the two grandmasters, Yang Junshan's counterattack could only temporarily interrupt the flow of the array from the other two realms, preventing the opponent from reaching his hand into the Earth Realm. Rather than a counterattack, it was more like a passive defense.
Yang Junshan used the advantage of his home ground to block the probing attacks of the other two realms. When he turned around, he heard Sage Lin Hui's miserable shrieks.
After three days of testing each other out, on the fourth day of hunting, only two cultivators were injured in the Earth Realm. Inside the pond, after Yang Junshan's meticulous calculations, he finally managed to save a portion of the Dao array source energy!
Looking at the portion of three meridians essence that he squeezed out with great difficulty, Yang Junshan didn't even have the appetite to absorb it. With a sigh, he poured all his remaining source energy into the array pool to store it.
Four days had passed since the start of the battle. Cultivators below the Dao Realm, regardless of whether they were from the human race or the foreign lands, fought for almost every day, but Dao Realm experts did not appear, so this did not mean that the two sides were controlling the intensity of the battle. In fact, the Dao Realm experts from both sides were watching each other closely.
Once Dao Realm experts started to fight, the power of the array formation that they needed to use was not something that could be compared with a small fight between the Dao Realm experts. Perhaps, when the two powers clashed, they could use up sixteen percent of the power of the three-channel formation. At that time, Yang Junshan wouldn't need to rely on the help of the other cultivators from the other two realms.
He came to the Burning Heaven Clan and actively involved himself in the war between the Earth Fire Abyss and the foreign forces. Originally, he wanted to fish in troubled waters, and this wasn't something that could be dealt with by just a partial complete array. Thus, he had to obtain even more array sources for his own cultivation.
There were only two ways to obtain a better supply of energy: one to open source, and the other to conserve energy.
Previously, Yang Junshan's control of array formations had already reached the limits of what he could do. He had precisely transferred the power of his Dao array to every location he needed, striving to not waste even a single bit of it. Even so, he only managed to save a single bit of the source energy of his Dao array in a single day.
Since he had already reached his limit, the only thing left was to open his origin ability.
With the exception of the 16% that Yang Junshan was now in complete control of, the remaining 80% was completely controlled by the other three. In order to compete for the power of the formation from these three, Yang Junshan would have to go with the principle of first picking up the soft parts of the formation. Yang Junshan's first target would naturally be the Adept Chi Gen, who had the lowest cultivation level in the array.
As the Grandmaster in charge of the Immortal Sealing Array, although the Grandmaster in charge of the main array formation was weaker than Zhang Sundang, Miao Xuan and Yang Junshan in terms of array dao, he definitely had the trump card to suppress the entire array formation. According to common sense, even if Yang Junshan wanted to challenge the other two grandmasters in the array formation, he shouldn't have provoked the Immortal Palace, but while Yang Junshan was adjusting the array for the other three array formations, he was also constantly paying attention to the movements in the other three, which made him realize a strange phenomenon.
According to Yang Junshan's conjectures, there were two reasons for this situation. The first was that Spiritual Master Chi Gong had already given up his dignity as a formation master of the Burning Heaven Clan and was beginning to completely lean towards the other two factions, which was why the strength of the formation array was so easily used by the two domain formation grandmasters. The second was that Spiritual Master Chi Gong was either currently losing control of the entire formation or could be desired by the other two grandmasters.
No matter what the situation was, Yang Junshan had to figure it out, so the attack on the main array pond had to be done!
Even though Yang Junshan had prepared everything beforehand, the next action he took against the main array pool was full of dust.
Yang Junshan's covert actions were admirable. He was not planning to attack from the earth realm, as that would easily attract the attention of others. He was planning to do so through interference with the supply of spirit veins.
Regardless of whether it was the entire system of dao arrays or the relatively independent local system of the three realms, both couldn't be separated from the supply of spirit energy from the spirit vein. And in the entire Burning Heaven Clan, if there was anything else other than a complete and massive sect protecting system, then the Burning Heaven Clan's spirit vein supply system was also an interrelated whole.
The number of spirit sources, spirit veins, and spirit rivers in the Earth Domain exceeded two spirit rivers, and appeared to be comparable to the Western Mountain. One must not forget, in the entire Burning Heaven Clan, there was still the Heavenly Domain and the Realm of Humans; if all three of these spirit veins were balanced, that would mean that the number of spirit veins in the entire hall could reach a total of seven or eight spirit rivers.
Moreover, this was without considering Candle County and Cauldron County; otherwise, the total number of spirit veins under Burning Heaven Clan's control would have already far surpassed the amount of ten spirit rivers. From this, one could see the foundation of the number one sect in the cultivation world.
This time, Yang Junshan had chosen an ordinary spiritual vein as the medium. Since the first day of Yang Junshan's control of the Earth Domain Array Pool, the spiritual energy that it emitted had been completely collected and poured into the crystal mine for storage. In other words, Yang Junshan had been preparing for this ever since the beginning.
As for the perfect control of the spirit vein, don't forget that the Spirit Searching Technique was originally a separate technique that developed gradually from the Array Dao. Although Yang Junshan didn't specialize in the Spirit Searching Technique, his mastery of the Spirit Searching Technique was only slightly lower than Yang Junxin's.
Why did Yang Junshan seal the array for three days from the beginning?
Aside from having full control of the Three Meridians Treasure Formation, there was another meaning, which was that the spirit veins of various sizes in the Earth Realm could be used to supply the meridians. And this spirit vein that Yang Junshan had chosen was the branch river that was closest to the Main Array Pool.
In the dead of night, Yang Junshan suddenly reversed the array. The massive spiritual energy that had been stored in the crystal mine for several days was instantly poured into the spiritual vein, and at the same time, the reverse three-channel array completed its suppression on the spiritual vein, causing the spiritual vein, which was injected with the spiritual weapon, to not make the slightest movement. Then, the turbulent spiritual energy started to flow upwards along the spiritual vein, entering the spiritual river that was the core of the crystal mine.
It was as if countless giant beasts were galloping underground, and soon after, the ground began to tremble, and a large portion of the Burning Heaven Clan's training hall was awakened. Many cultivators even thought that the foreign powers had launched their main attack from the depths of the Earth Fire Abyss.
Right at this moment, a vast formation diagram appeared in the sky above Burning Heaven Clan's training hall. The stars and moon in the sky instantly lit up, and right after, Yang Junshan sensed that the various earth meridians and spirit veins below the training hall began to stabilize the entire Burning Heaven Clan's training hall like the roots of a large tree. Then, from the direction of the human world, a deathly still and desolate aura suddenly surged out, like an ancient beast from ancient times, selecting its prey in the darkness.
It was actually the main diagram of the Trinity Immortal Sealing Formation!
Yang Junshan blinked in astonishment. How could this Daoist Master Red Palace be so sensitive? He did not hesitate to draw out a total formation diagram to activate the entire Triple Layered Heavens Immortal Dao Formation. It was only a reverse spiritual vein.
Yang Junshan's probing hadn't succeeded and was already in its infancy. Not to mention sharing some of the power of the formation array from the main formation pond, even if he didn't get caught by the red palace man, it was already too quick for him. Otherwise, he would be in trouble for the crime of being a lackey of an alien force.
