Before the official start of construction, a site had to be chosen for the Large Formation.
Court Leader Zhou and Elder Yu specifically sought Mo Hua’s opinion.
Since the Large Formation was painted by Mo Hua and also designed and constructed by him, it was natural for Mo Hua to determine the site.
After deep contemtion, Mo Hua ultimately decided to locate the Large Formation at the ck Mountain Stronghold.
The Five Elements ughter Demon Great Formation is a trapping and killing type of array rather than a defensive Protective Sect Array, so it cannot be ced in Tongxian City; in fact, it must be far from Tongxian City.
Otherwise, once the Large Formation is activated, Tongxian City would suffer from the spiritual power unleashed by the Large Formation’s attacks.
The most suitable location is deep in the mountains.
Killing Feng Xi directly in the deep mountains, preventing its entry into the city, is the best option.
Among the deep mountains, the most suitable ce is naturally the ck Mountain Stronghold.
The ck Mountain Stronghold is nestled between two mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In other words, it is rtively enclosed and suitable for a trapping and killing formation.
Patriarch of the Qian Family built the ck Mountain Stronghold here because the location was suitable for constructing arrays.
Moreover, although the ck Mountain Stronghold has been destroyed, a foundation of formation patterns still exists. Building the Large Formation on this foundation can save a lot of effort.
While Court Leader Zhou and Elder Yu were somewhat surprised, they both nodded in agreement.
Mo Hua then said to Leader Yang, "Uncle Yang, we need to find a way to contain Feng Xi, to dy it for some time."
The construction of the Large Formation is guaranteed to take two months, but in case of unforeseen dys, it would be disastrous if the construction is not finished and Feng Xi starts foraging for food.
Therefore, it was necessary to try to prevent Feng Xi from refining Blood Qi and to buy as much time as possible.
Leader Yang nodded, "Rest assured, I have used the Yang Family’s connections to petition the Taoist Soldiers Court. I’ve also requested the transfer of two more units of Taoist Soldiers. During this period, we will find a way to harass Feng Xi and slow down its speed of refining Blood Qi."
Afterward, everyone’s tasks were clear: Court Leader Zhou would distribute the spirit stones and materials, Elder Yu would arrange the manpower, and Mo Hua would be fully responsible for the formation.
The construction of the Five Elements ughter Demon Great Formation officially began.
The overall blueprint of the Large Formation was designed by Mo Hua based on the Formation Pivot and records of other arrays and after also considering the opinions of Craftsman Master Ban.
The first step was to clear the remaining structures in the ck Mountain Stronghold and reconstruct the foundation and framework of the Large Formation, which was the responsibility of the craftsmen.
At the same time, Refinery Shops in Southern City worked tirelessly day and night, with Artifact Furnaces operating non-stop, beginning to refine the array tes, formation locks, and formation gates needed as Formation media for the Large Formation.
Alchemists were making pills for cooling, detoxification, miasma dispelling, and restoring physical and spiritual power, supplying them to the craftsmen building the Large Formation.
Food from both the Fulu Building and the An Family’s Food Building was supplied to everyone.
Monster Hunters, led by Yu Chengyi and Mo Shan, zed a trail through Big ck Mountain, starting from Tongxian City, passing through the inner and outer mountains, and leading directly to the old site of ck Mountain Stronghold.
The mountain road wound along the terrain, wide and smooth, facilitating the transportation of the many materials needed for the Large Formation.
At the same time, the Monster Hunters were also responsible for driving away the Monster Beasts from the sides of the mountain road, to prevent them from attacking the Cultivators.
A few dayster, some Loose Cultivators from Qingxuan City also came to help, and Cultivators from nearby Immortal Cities, having heard that Tongxian City was building a Large Formation tobat Big Demons, also gathered to contribute their strength.
The number of Cultivators building the Large Formation was growing, and the Tao Cultivation project became increasingly majestic.
Mo Hua stood on a mountaintop of ck Mountain Stronghold.
Looking down, one could see a continuous mountain road from the base of the ck Mountain Stronghold, meandering with the terrain of Big ck Mountain, extending all the way to Tongxian City.
On the mountain road, a dense crowd of Cultivators methodically transported cultivation construction materials and various supplies.
The foundations of the ck Mountain Stronghold beneath were unmade and rebuilt, and the frameworks for some basic Formation media were already established.
Master Ban led a multitude of craftsmen, bustling among them, the shape of the Large Formation slowly taking form.
And in the distance, Tongxian City buzzed with activity; the Refinery Shops were bustling, the Alchemist’s Businesses had their fires burning brightly, and the Fulu Building’s cooking smoke curled skyward.
Prepared food boxes, pills, and Spiritual Artifacts were either handed directly to the various Cultivators or transported along the winding mountain roads into the deep mountains...
Tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of Cultivators, working together with one heart, were constructing the grand Taoist Large Formation - the Five Elements ughter Demon Great Formation.
This scene filled Mo Hua with an inexplicable awe.
"Is this what a Large Formation is..." he mused.
When a Single Formation is not strong enough, enough of them are gathered and connected through a core Formation Pivot to form a Large Formation.
When a single Cultivator is not strong enough, enough Cultivators are gathered to work together with amon goal.
Human power sometimes has its limits, but as long as there are enough people, the power bes endless.
In a trance, Mo Hua had a sudden enlightenment.
He could paint the Large Formation, kill Feng Xi, and save the Cultivators of a city.
Yet in truth, it was not just him saving others but everyone saving each other.
Without him, no one could paint the Large Formation, but without so many Cultivators uniting, he could never build the Large Formation.
Destiny is never changed by one person alone; it is only through the concerted efforts of all Cultivators that true defiance of fate can be achieved!
In an instant, Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly, his Divine Thought became clear, and he felt a sudden understanding of the concept of the Large Formation.
The formerly somewhat rough Formation Patterns of the Pivot seemed to be etched clearly into his Sea of Consciousness.
With this newfound understanding, Mo Hua had an epiphany.
He truly could build and control the entire Five Elements ughter Demon Great Formation with ease!
```
Following behind Mo Hua, Master Luo was contemting theplexity of the Large Formation when suddenly, looking up, he saw Mo Hua as if struck by sudden enlightenment, exuding an arcane aura that he found difficult to fathom.
As though grasping some profound principle, his mastery over formations had improved yet again.
There was even a faint sense of the demeanor of a grandmaster of formations.
For an instant, Master Luo thought his eyes were deceiving him.
He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, he found that Mo Hua had lost that profound aura and was back to being the simple little cultivator.
As noon had arrived and someone shouted "time to eat," Mo Hua used the Water Passing Step to happily run off and grab a chicken leg...
Master Luo stood rooted to the spot for a long while before he sighed with aplex expression and muttered doubtfully to himself:
"Did I just see things..."
…
Ten dayster, the foundational frame of the Formation media waspleted.
Thanks to the concerted efforts of all cultivators, this speed was much faster than Mo Hua had anticipated.
Next, it was time to draw the official Formation.
The Five Elements ughter Demon Great Formation takes the Formation eye as its source, the Formation Pivot for overall coordination, the Single Formation foryout, and the Formation media as the cornerstone.
The Formation eye of the Large Formation isposed of multiple first-grade Gathering Spirit Compound Formations, used to refine Spirit Stones, draw in Spiritual Energy, and congeal Spiritual Power for the Formation, thereby providing a source of power for the operation of the entire Large Formation.
The core of the Large Formation is the Formation Pivot, which centrally controls the opening, closing, starting, stopping, flow, and strong inhibition of Spiritual Power.
Only after sessfully drawing the Formation Pivot can oney out the Single Formations that extend beyond it, in sequence.
Simrly, within the entire Large Formation, the Formation Pivot is the most difficult to draw and also represents the core and most secretive part of the Formation. It must be personally drawn by the lead Formation Master.
Or rather, only one capable of drawing the Formation Pivot qualifies to be the lead Formation Master, directing thepletion of the Large Formation.
Mo Hua chose a high peak as the location for the Formation Pivot.
With its high elevation and good visibility, and being rtively far from the central area of entrapment and killing, this location is not only suitable for overseeing the entire Large Formation while in control, but also less likely to be affected by the flux of Spiritual Power when Feng Xi is being trapped and killed.
The Formation media for the Formation Pivot is a huge Array te forged with fine iron, extremely sturdy and not easily damaged.
Before Mo Hua started drawing, Master Luo and all the other Formation Masters withdrew.
As the Formation Pivot is the core and secret of the Formation Master, it naturally needs to be drawn in secret.
At the same time, Master Luo also knew that it might not necessarily be Mo Hua himself drawing the Formation Pivot; it could be his Gentleman who would begin the drawing, so he took all the Formation Masters out to prevent this matter from being exposed.
Master Luo was quite "considerate" in his considerations for Mo Hua.
But what he didn’t know was that the Formation Pivot of the Large Formation was indeed being drawn by Mo Hua himself.
The Formation Pivot is difficult to draw.
Even though Mo Hua had reached a thorough understanding, drawing the Formation Pivot was still challenging.
When drawing the Formation Patterns on the Array te forged with fine iron as the Formation media, the consumption of Divine Sense was even greater.
Due to insufficient Divine Sense, Mo Hua failed twice and had to use Spiritual Dissipation Liquid to erase the Formation Patterns and start over.
Also, because of the overly intricate Pattern lines, he made mistakes in two ces and had to start again.
…
After failing five or six times, Mo Hua was not discouraged.
Thanks to the understanding he had just gained, the Pattern lines of the Formation Pivot were clearly presented in his mind.
He knew he could draw it out; he just needed to familiarize himself more and also needed some opportunities for trial and error.
Five dayster, after Mo Hua had made countless attempts, he finally managed to draw out the Formation Pivot of the Five Elements ughter Demon Great Formation.
Threading his Divine Sense through the Formation Pivot, every Pattern line came forth distinct and clear, with the paths of varying Spiritual Powers also matching the records in the Large Formation Jade Slip.
Not feeling reassured, Mo Hua checked it over from beginning to end several times before finally letting out a soft sigh of relief.
He had seeded!
Mo Hua gazed at the profound andplex Formation Pivot before him, a surge of joy welling up inside him.
The structure of the Formation Pivot was strict; the umted meticulous strokes formed sharp edges, creating aplex and arcane sense of beauty.
The only drawback was that this was the first time Mo Hua drew the Formation Pivot on the Array te, and his strokes were not yet proficient; there were too many attempts, making it look somewhat unsightly.
Although not visually pleasing, it was functional, and that’s what mattered!
Mo Hua felt that being pragmatic as a Cultivator was more important; practicality trumps everything.
Once the Formation Pivot wasplete, Master Luo led the other Formation Masters back in, and upon seeing the scene before them, they were all deeply shaken.
So this was the Formation Pivot of the Large Formation...
Theplex Pattern lines were daunting, clearly beyond their ability to learn...
After marveling for a while, Master Luo scrutinized the Formation Pivot for a long time.
On one hand, he was amazed that this highly skilled person’s mastery of formations was superb, actually managing to draw the Formation Pivot; on the other hand, he was puzzled by the seemingly inexperienced strokes of this "highly skilled person," reminiscent of a child’s scribbles, with so many reapplyings...
