Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1427: Chapter 760: Arranging the Formation

“Right now is the time for unity against external threats, you don’t need to worry about any moves from Hongguang Venerable. I’m here watching, I won’t let you suffer losses. Of course, I’ve heard you once slew Master Ge Guang; I imagine Hongguang Venerable won’t be able to threaten you!” Master Wu Ge looked at the distant figure of Hongguang Venerable and whispered to Li Yuanba.

Hongguang Venerable, although he came to interrupt, remained quite restrained, without approaching too closely, only standing by the formation. It was apparent that Hongguang Venerable still harbored considerable apprehensions.

“I’ll go help Hongfa and see if we can speed up the setup of the formation!” Li Yuanba thought of letting Great Venerable Hongfa finish sooner and suggested.

“The battle over there will soon rotate to me, so I won’t accompany you!” Master Wu Ge spoke with no objection.

With Li Yuanba’s involvement, the setup of the space acceptance array accelerated by several times.

Li Yuanba had cheated; he connected to the IBMz15. After examining the environment of this formation area with his Divine Sense along with ‘Divine Eye,’ IBMz15 provided the precise location of each formation node and clear instructions on how best to connect the spiritual power lines of the nodes.

Thus, setting up the formation transitioned from a task requiring thought to a simple assembly.

Great Venerable Hongfa originally believed his centuries of experience in installing the space acceptance array, coupled with two continuous years of setting up new arrays, meant Li Yuanba, although an innovator of the space acceptance array, couldn’t match his hands-on capability.

But upon seeing Li Yuanba’s actions, Great Venerable Hongfa’s pride was shattered. His admiration for Li Yuanba increased once more.

The setup that was supposed to take three days was completely finished in just six hours thanks to Li Yuanba’s participation.

After completing the formation setup, Li Yuanba discovered that the first batch of reinforcements from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion hadn’t arrived.

He led Great Venerable Hongfa to a tent not far from Master Wu Ge’s grotto heaven, which was their temporary residence.

A hundred tents had been set up here for the reinforcement Sword Cultivators from Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion.

The use of tents instead of the cultivators’ favored grotto heavens was due to Hell Island’s small size; in fact, only the latter half area could be utilized on Hell Island.

The first half served as the exile site for cultivators, unsuitable for ordinary cultivators to reside.

Li Yuanba entered the tent; although small from the outside, it was quite roomy inside.

This was a tent deploying a spatial formation, though it lacked the safety of grotto heavens in protection, other aspects were largely similar, at least superficially.

The tent space was divided into a hall, several rooms with different purposes, and the spiritual energy of the cultivation room was drawn from Hell Island’s spiritual vein.

“Hongfa, you needn’t venture out again; I’ll check the battle situation!” Li Yuanba arranged a room for Great Venerable Hongfa and spoke.

“Yuanba, although my strength is lacking, I still want to contribute; with me joining, at least some more Hell Creatures can be slain!” Great Venerable Hongfa understood Li Yuanba’s desire for battle, as he didn’t want to stay back and have Li Yuanba fight alone.

“Aren’t you worried about encountering Hongguang Venerable?” Li Yuanba, somewhat tempted by Great Venerable Hongfa’s words, still inquired.

Despite Great Venerable Hongfa being unskilled in combat, he was still a Great Venerable, capable of effortlessly dealing with Hell Creatures at the Fourth Grade Middle Stage.

“We’ll have to face it eventually; we’ve already encountered him just now. We’re all on this small island; Hongguang will get used to it!” Great Venerable Hongfa answered with a smile.

Li Yuanba realized that Great Venerable Hongfa had truly opened his heart at some point, though he didn’t understand why, it was a good thing.

Li Yuanba didn’t know that his continuous display of abilities had led Great Venerable Hongfa to admire him in many respects, affirming that his choice was right.

Although Great Venerable Hongfa’s sentiment resembled a psychological suggestion, it granted him the courage to face fellow cultivators from Da Leiyin Temple.

Li Yuanba and Great Venerable Hongfa stepped out of the latter half area into the first half area.

Entering the first half, they immediately sensed the differences between the two regions.

The spiritual energy in the first half was only one-quarter of the depth in the latter half, though its level of spiritual power concentration was acceptable. However, the radiation here exceeded by more than tenfold.

Looking at the position of the first half region, the reasons for strong radiation became apparent.

This area connected with a tunnel to Hell Cave Heaven, transmitting radiation foremost to this location.

They also saw cultivators here, whose gazes lacked spirit, containing only lifelessness. Although living, they weren’t much different from the dead.

Among these cultivators, Li Yuanba unexpectedly recognized an acquaintance.

It was Supervisor Sun from Central State Commerce; naturally, Supervisor Sun didn’t recognize Li Yuanba.

Back then, Supervisor Sun had betrayed Li Shiming’s intelligence, leading to Li Shiming being ambushed. Later, after Central State Commerce uncovered Supervisor Sun’s crime, he was sent here.

Now, after twenty or thirty years, Supervisor Sun’s once wealthy frame had become emaciated, and the original shrewdness in his eyes had turned to numbness.
