Chapter 602: Chapter 602: Unraveling the Zhou Tian Formation, The Appearance of Alchemy (First Update)
Everyone followed where Xue An pointed and turned their gaze to the Black Giant Tower, their faces all showing looks of bewilderment.
Among them, Cang Yayun’s expression was particularly dumbfounded.
Because in her memory, the Black Giant Tower had been standing there for a very long time.
Generations of Sect Leaders had tried to decipher what the purpose of this giant tower was, only to return without success.
When she first became the Sect Leader, she too put in great effort, researching for a long time and scouring through the legacy texts left by the Puppet Immortal Sect in hopes of finding the origin and builder of the tower, but ultimately, she failed as well.
Later, she pushed the matter to the back of her mind and stopped paying attention to it.
To her surprise, this man from the Hua Clan had brought up such a statement, naturally shocking Cang Yayun.
Xue An gestured at the Mechanical Puppet.
The Mechanical Puppet obediently followed behind him until they approached the Black Giant Tower.
Xue An looked up at the towering spire that reached into the clouds and chuckled lightly.
“Reveal your largest form.”
Following Xue An’s command, the Mechanical Puppet’s entire body began to swell, and in the blink of an eye, it grew to be a hundred feet tall, almost level with the height of the tower.
Xue An leaped onto the shoulder of the Mechanical Puppet and commanded in a deep voice, “Grasp the spire with both hands and pull upwards with all your might!”
The obedient Mechanical Puppet took hold of the spire of the Black Giant Tower and began to pull upwards with all its strength.
Along with a series of crisp mechanical sounds, a buzzing noise emerged from the bottom of the Black Giant Tower.
Everyone was taken aback.
It was then someone exclaimed, “Quick, look at the base of the giant tower!”
Everyone looked over.
They saw from the base of the Black Giant Tower, strands of dazzling radiance began to emerge, like intertwined vines or complicated patterns that made one’s head spin, rapidly spreading upwards.
In an instant, these patterns covered the entire Black Giant Tower, dizzying anyone who laid eyes upon it.
Cang Yayun cried out in shock, “It’s an Alchemical Formation!”
This was the very Alchemical Formation that the Puppet Immortal Sect had been tirelessly researching.
But at this moment, Cang Yayun was virtually dumbstruck.
Because the Alchemical Formation on this Black Giant Tower was infinitely more complicated than any she had practiced and studied, and after only a brief glance, Cang Yayun felt a stabbing pain in her head with her Divine Sense rapidly weakening.
Frightened, Cang Yayun dared not look any closer, knowing this was the backlash from forcibly studying an extremely profound Alchemical Formation.
And if just a fleeting glance could induce such a powerful backlash, how terrifying must the Alchemical Formation on the Black Giant Tower be?
As for the others, they were faring even worse.
A disciple of the Puppet Immortal Sect had merely glanced at it and was struck by the backlash, spitting blood.
After Liu KekKe looked at it once, she felt restless and agitated, quickly closing her eyes before loudly warning, “Do not look any further! Otherwise, you will die, your souls vanishing!”
Hearing her, everyone bowed their heads and closed their eyes, not daring to look anymore.
Xue An, however, stood quietly on the Mechanical Puppet’s shoulder, watching the flickering Alchemical Formation, which seemed almost like a living thing breathing, and smiled lightly.
Having said that, Xue An slowly closed his eyes, and his Divine Sense spread out from between his brows like an ocean.
No sooner had his Divine Sense touched the Black Giant Tower than the brightness of the Alchemical Formation on it surged dramatically, and then a massive screen of light unfolded gradually.
The screen was filled with countless intricate lines, both high and low in a tangled chaos, which was dizzying to look at.
And each point of light flickered above the nodes of these pathways, like a chess piece, waiting for someone’s deduction.
“This… This is the legendary Zhou Tian Solution Array Technique!” Cang Yayun trembled all over, her teeth even chattering.
Because, in the tomes passed down by the Sect, this technique for solving arrays was a top-level resolution method used by great alchemists in ancient times, and it had long been lost.
Unexpectedly, it reappeared today in this man from the Hua Clan.
At this time, Xue An, controlling the chess pieces with his Divine Sense, began to deduce step by step.
People could clearly see at first, but then it got faster and faster, until in the end, they could only see the points of light swirling rapidly within the chaotic formation.
This skillful method of resolving the formation stunned everyone.
Because this required not only an extremely strong Divine Sense but also an almost impossible level of mental prowess; otherwise, it was not possible to control so many points of light within the formation at the same time.
Moreover, if one step was incorrect, the entire formation could self-destruct immediately. This immense psychological pressure was not something ordinary people could bear.
The resolving points of light had reached an extreme speed, and people could only see streaks of light flashing unpredictably.
The points of light came to a halt.
Did the resolution fail?
Just as this thought emerged in Cang Yayun’s mind,
she saw the Alchemical Formation covering the entire Black Giant Tower start to collapse, and with it disappeared the blackness of the tower, revealing a cold, metallic luster.
At the same time, simple and clear Alchemical Formations began to emerge.
It was as if something was being drawn out, and the entire mountain also began to tremble.
Light began to appear at the base of the Black Giant Tower, converging towards the tip of the tower via the Alchemical Formations.
Alchemy Energy Concentration!
Cang Yayun watched dumbfounded as these wondrous Alchemical Formations numbed her with shock.
Soon, terrifying energy, refined to the utmost, accumulated at the top of the tower.
At this moment, Xue An opened his eyes, glanced at the metallic tower, and smiled lightly.
“Activate the formation!”
all the brilliance paused for a moment, and then intricate patterns appeared on the slender tip of the tower. The light surged along these patterns and burst forth from the tip of the tower.
It was an indescribable, dazzling beam of light, akin to a colossal silver needle piercing straight into the sky.
The night sky instantly lit up as if it were day, and the light, upon reaching its zenith, dispersed like a fountain, forming a screen of light that poured down and enveloped the entire Puppet Immortal Sect.
The originally gentle Spiritual Energy became fierce, and the plants covering the mountain grew and mutated rapidly, along with the Exotic Beasts, all gradually taking on the appearance of mechanical creations.
Like how the bodies of birds and beasts steadily transformed into the likeness of metal castings, even the wild rabbits running on the ground sprouted metallic wheels.
And the entire mountain gradually emitted a stern metallic sheen.
In just a few breaths, the entire Puppet Immortal Sect transformed from a fairyland grotto to a land of Alchemy shining with a cold metallic luster.
The Mechanical Puppets, already tall, grew even more massive under the blessing of the light screen, quickly reaching over one hundred and fifty zhang in height.
Everyone gazed agape at this spectacle.
Then a disciple of the Puppet Sect shouted excitedly, “My Cultivation Level has also become more formidable!”
More people just gazed blankly, with only one thought in their minds.
This… couldn’t be a dream, could it!
