C1378 Automatic Repair
Upon exiting the main hall, the sect's leadership wasted no time in summoning their top Formation Masters to attempt repairs. To Lin Xuan, the grand array may have seemed fragile; his mere approach caused it to shatter under the immense force of his power. However, this was not indicative of the array's weakness. For years, it had safeguarded the Elemental Spirit Sect's heritage, deterring other formidable forces from attacking. Its apparent vulnerability was solely a testament to Lin Xuan's overwhelming strength, which eclipsed the capabilities of the entire Dongyuan Continent and exceeded what the grand array could withstand.
This Spell Formation remained one of the most potent of its time on the Dongyuan Continent and was not to be easily discarded. As the sect's final line of defense, the grand array was crucial. Even if a complete restoration was impossible, a new array, closely matching the original's efficacy, was essential to ensure the sect's security. The situation was dire.
In the heart of the formation, located in the Central Region at the center of the Elemental Spirit Sect, an open area not far from the previous council hall became the focus of activity. Master Elemental Spirit himself presided over the efforts. The sect's most skilled Formation Masters were engrossed in their urgent task.
Lin Xuan's unexpected arrival caught everyone off guard. "Greetings, Hall Master!" they exclaimed. "May we know if you have any instructions for us?" Upon seeing Lin Xuan, Master Elemental Spirit and the other martial artists, the Formation Masters approached and bowed with deep respect. All members of the Elemental Spirit Sect had witnessed Lin Xuan's formidable power and harbored no illusions of defiance.
"Carry on with your tasks; I'm just here to observe," Lin Xuan said with a dismissive wave of his hand. The group returned to their work, and Master Elemental Spirit remained close by, ready to respond to any of Lin Xuan's commands.
Lin Xuan arrived at a vast platform at the core of the formation and observed the actions of several Formation Masters.
The onlookers began to wonder to themselves.
Could it be that Lin Xuan placed great importance on this grand sect-protecting formation?
Though the Spell Formation was extraordinary, it seemed hardly a challenge for Lin Xuan.
Or perhaps, he possessed a method for its repair?
After all, this was a High-grade Emperor Level formation. Even if the Elemental Spirit Sect exerted all its power, repairing it quickly would be a daunting task.
After watching for some time, Lin Xuan silently shook his head.
The Dongyuan Continent truly paled in comparison to the Central Essence Continent in every respect.
These Formation Masters might have a decent grasp of this High-grade Emperor Level formation, but their own expertise was significantly lacking.
Their approach to restoration was methodical, following the Spell Formation diagram step by step.
Identifying problems required lengthy inspections and extensive discussions before solutions could be found.
At this rate, it might take a year just to repair half of the Spell Formation.
The pace was alarmingly slow.
But that was only from Lin Xuan's perspective.
For the Dongyuan Continent, this was relatively normal.
After all, this was among the finest Emperor Level High-grade Spell Formations on the continent.
Being able to repair it at all was a feat in itself.
The time it would take was inconsequential.
A sect-protecting formation could last for centuries, if not millennia.
Lin Xuan had no interest in delaying further.
On the Dongyuan Continent, this sect-protecting formation was indeed top-tier.
Yet, among the Emperor Level High-grade, it was merely above average and not the best.
He examined the Formation Map and the Formation Heart, gaining a thorough understanding.
Having acquired the Spell Formation legacy in the Secret Realm of the Heaven Cloud State,
he was capable of repairing even the complete Emperor Level sect-protecting formation at Jade Dragon Mountain.
This was merely an Emperor Level High-grade.
The Formation Marks didn't even reach the Emperor Level.
It was hardly a concern for him.
It was as effortless as blowing away a speck of dust.
Lin Xuan snapped his fingers.
A surge of spiritual energy entered the Stone Stand at the heart of the Spell Formation. Instantly, the Stone Stand seemed to come to life, glowing softly. The Formation Masters nearby were startled by the unexpected activation. Instinctively, they were about to reprimand the culprit. Such a complex array could easily be ruined with one false move, leading to even more damage.
However, they quickly recognized Lin Xuan as the one who intervened and hastily backed off. They had already witnessed his formidable power; compared to him, they were mere ants. For their own safety, they decided to remain silent.
Elemental Spirit, standing beside Lin Xuan, observed the scene with a puzzled look. He couldn't fathom Lin Xuan's actions but refrained from questioning or interfering. Perhaps it was just Lin Xuan's personal amusement. At worst, the repair of the sect's protective Spell Formation would require additional materials and time. And if it couldn't be fixed, it wouldn't be the end of the world. In Lin Xuan's presence, the protective array seemed incredibly fragile.
If Lin Xuan were to unite the continent, all the major powers would come under the banner of Celestial Essence Hall, coexisting peacefully and avoiding major conflicts. The significance of the sect's protective array would diminish greatly.
Looking back, the strand of spiritual energy seemed to take on a life of its own, weaving through the Stone Stand and tracing new Formation Marks.
"You don't need to follow me; I'm just going to take a look around," Lin Xuan signaled before vanishing from sight. Elemental Spirit, left with unspoken words, had no choice but to continue his vigil, awaiting the array's repair.
Before long, a series of astonished cries echoed from ahead. "How is this possible?" "What's happening? The formation's heart is repairing itself?" "The Formation Marks are being drawn automatically. What's going on?" Disbelief filled their voices.
Elemental Spirit's attention was drawn to the commotion, and he looked back, his expression shifting. He saw that the damaged Formation Marks on the Stone Stand were being restored, bit by bit, without any of the Formation Masters lifting a finger. What was this phenomenon?
Although he had little understanding of Spell Formations, the Formation Masters around him certainly did. They were among the most skilled in the Elemental Spirit Sect, having achieved the esteemed Emperor Level. Moreover, judging by their conversation, the Formation Marks that were being drawn automatically were accurate and continuously repairing themselves. The Elemental Spirit felt bewildered, struggling to grasp the reality of the situation. It was as if he were dreaming or had stumbled into an illusionary formation. In all his life, he had never encountered anything like this.
The Formation Masters nearby were equally unsettled, their exclamations unceasing. Lacking sufficient expertise, they feared encountering an irreparable issue. It took some time, but the Elemental Spirit eventually came to his senses, recognizing the scene before him as reality, not a hallucination. Yet, how could such an extraordinary event have occurred so abruptly? It was unprecedented. What had changed during this period? Then, like a flash of inspiration, it dawned on him...
