Wonderful Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1806 Site Selection

Lei Ze Patriarch and Kua Fu Chong, along with the Dragon King, Ye Zhenjun and their entourage, arrived at their destination.

It truly is a treasure land.

"Backed by mountains and facing water, sheltered from the wind and gathering energy, it is an excellent location!"

Behind them stood a majestic mountain, its peak enveloped in a white mist formed by spiritual energy.

Although there is no sun or moon here, the unnamed minerals on the mountaintop and the glow of fireflies create a halo-like effect, like stars.

Not far away, a long river flows endlessly, its waters crystal clear and pristine. If it weren't for the occasional shadowy figure that seems to devour souls, it would truly resemble the rivers and lakes of an ancient divine realm.

A hundred miles away, the mountain range stretches out, resembling the four symbols of the I Ching, locking in the vital energy.

“It is indeed a good place!” The Dragon King nodded, agreeing with the vision of the Thunder Ancestor.

Fang Fengting couldn't help but exclaim, "Gathering water and concealing wind, the four elements appear and disappear!"

Kuafu Chong nodded while glancing at Ye Zhenjun out of the corner of his eye.

Ye Zhenjun seemed lost in thought, staring at the towering figure behind him with a complex expression.

"Without the Soul Devouring Technique, the ability to have the sun and moon shining overhead is truly comparable to the ancient divine realm!"

Kuafu Chong's sigh brought Ye Zhenjun back to his senses.

Ye Zhenjun chuckled lightly: "If there is a sun and moon, then the power of the celestial source will be generated, which the ancient divine realm probably cannot compare to!"

The sun and moon are the origin of the heavens, and they dared not even hope for them!

"I see that there are quite a few soul-devouring creatures in the mountains and rivers, and I'm afraid there are quite a few powerful ones among them. If we build a city, the commotion will be too great and will definitely attract their attacks!"

If not handled properly, it will all be a disappointment!

Ancestor Lei Ze coughed and shook his head.

When this was mentioned, the Dragon King immediately turned his attention to his nose and his mind, giving off an air of indifference, as if it were none of his business.

Kuafu Chong and Fang Fengting, intentionally or unintentionally, both looked at Ye Zhenjun.

Just as they were speaking, seven or eight Soul Devourers with Nascent Soul level combat power rushed over from the front and back.

Fortunately, they were all shot down by the Golden Core warriors under the command of Ancestor Lei Ze using the Fiery Eye Array.

After several expenditures, the Fire Eye Array treasures they brought out were basically exhausted of their spiritual energy.

Then came the Soul Devourer, which attacked intermittently.

Fortunately, several divine ancestors were present, so the situation was managed to be kept under control.

In particular, Ye Zhenjun was able to kill the Soul Devourer relatively easily, just like Chen Wanli.

Chen Wanli relied on divine fire, while Ye Zhenjun relied on a special rune technique.

Their previous conversation was interrupted by the Soul Devourer's attack, which deepened their worries about the Soul Devourer's harassment and their inability to build a city here.

Ye Zhenjun also shook his head and said, "The number of soul-devouring beings here is indeed too dense. It is not easy for the city's protective formation to withstand the impact of soul-devouring for a long time."

"If the Phoenix Clan's original True Flame were still intact, I would have a foolproof plan."

He paused slightly before continuing:

"It's not that there's no way out now; there are still one or two options, but we need to use high-grade spiritual materials as the source of the array at all times."

If that were the case, the gods would have to venture to the high reaches of the Lunar Altar to search for high-grade spiritual materials… This is something I don't want to see!

Ancestor Lei Ze narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

The Dragon King gave a soft snort, his expression unreadable.

Even Kuafu Chong and Fang Fengting remained silent.

Where on the high platform of the Moon God is the current realm of gods?

Even if there were ten or eight divine ancestors left, let alone only three, without a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to lead them, they wouldn't stand a chance.

Moreover, they cannot determine whether this statement is true or false.

"So, unless Chen Shenzu has a solution, otherwise... the Divine Race's current movement into the high places of the Moon Extreme Divine Platform is tantamount to suicide!"

Ancestor Lei Ze licked his lips.

“Chen Shenzu himself is not afraid of soul devouring, but we can’t just let Chen Shenzu sit in the city forever, can we?”

"Besides that, I can't think of any other way!"

"I've heard that Chen Shenzu is also a master of formations; perhaps he has other methods!"

"Difficult! I'm afraid even a skilled cook can't cook without rice! Although there is dim light here, there is no sun, moon, or stars, so there is no supreme yang fire. Other fire techniques, even the Phoenix Clan's original luminous fire, will eventually run out..."

The younger generation couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

As they were talking, Ye Zhenjun and the Dragon King suddenly looked up at the same time.

The next second, Chen Wanli and Lei Jiang appeared before them, accompanied by several elders of the Xiangshou clan.

"Chen Shenzu!"

The three progenitors of the gods led their followers forward to greet them.

Chen Wanli nodded.

Both Ye Zhenjun and the Dragon King showed surprise.

This kid seems to have changed again?

It seems that neither his cultivation level nor his aura has advanced any further.

But there was something indescribable about him, as if he had become more reserved than before.

This restraint is not a deliberate disguise, but a profound and weighty foundation, like a calm ancient well, yet as deep as the sea; or like a fully drawn divine bow, ready to be released, yet possessing immense power hidden on the string.

Just standing there quietly, it seemed as if it were quietly merging with the surrounding天地 (heaven and earth) and subtly transcending the outside world, making it difficult for even people of their level to see it clearly for a moment.

"This place is indeed nice, and it's one of my three favorite punctuation marks. Since you've chosen this place, let's settle on it here!"

Chen Wanli immediately approved the site selection.

The last time I visited the Lunar God Platform, I didn't explore every corner of the second floor.

However, I do have a general understanding and memory of it.

This place is indeed a good place, the only drawback is that there are many soul-devouring creatures in the mountains.

Unless one possesses extraordinary supernatural powers, this place is not the first choice.

Because, comparatively speaking, soul-devouring creatures are easiest to clear in open areas, followed by those in dense forests, while those underwater are the most troublesome.

The river is not far away, and the Soul Devourer could come out at any time to harass you, which is like planting a mine.

However, this is probably the best option right now.

"Ahem, actually there is a big problem!" Ancestor Lei Ze immediately explained their judgment and what True Monarch Ye had said.

"So, the flame of Benming has been exhausted?" Ye Zhenjun asked.

Chen Wanli nodded: "This tinder can no longer be used."

Ye Zhenjun shook his head regretfully: "Then I really have no better way. However, if we change the city location and choose a place where soul-devouring is rare, I might be able to find a solution."

Although it's not a permanent solution, the spiritual materials only need to be replaced every three years, and the time cycle is even shorter...

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Wanli waved his hand and said, "No need to change! This is fine!"

Then he turned to Xiang Dehong and said, "Use the largest city defense formation that the Xiangshou clan has ever built as a model to build the formation base."

I will handle the rest after the base is built.

The members of the Xiangshou clan all nodded and began to measure and plan the foundation for the formation.

It's like building a house; you first need to lay a solid foundation.

In this regard, Xiang Shoushi was an expert, and no one doubted his abilities.

Ye Zhenjun glanced at it a few times and then stopped caring.

What people are more concerned about is where Chen Wanli's confidence comes from.

Even the Dragon King couldn't help but lean closer to Chen Wanli and mutter, "You mean you can build a city-protecting array and no longer fear the Soul Devouring Impact?"

"Ok!"

"Uh... actually, there's no need to force ourselves on this. If we gain anything from exploring the higher reaches of the Moon God Platform, the high-grade spiritual materials we bring back will be enough to power the divine race's protective city formation for many years..."

Ye Zhenjun said meaningfully.

Kuafu Chong and Fang Fengting exchanged frantic glances.

It has to be said that Chen Wanli looks much more reliable than Ye Zhenjun at this moment!

Of course, this is all predicated on Chen Wanli being able to keep his promise.

If we could really build an "iron-clad and bronze-cast" city here, we could defeat the Soul Devouring Invasion once and for all!

Actually, there's been some misunderstanding between you.

Chen Wanli saw the doubt in everyone's eyes and spoke slowly.

"What do you mean?"

"Ah! Is it possible or not?"

"The city-protecting formation I'm building isn't just for resisting Soul Devouring attacks!" Chen Wanli raised his head, a confident glint in his eyes:

"It will purge all soul-devouring beings here!"

"???"

"???"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Zhenjun's eyes.

If someone else said this, it would be considered bragging, regardless of their skill level, and they would be dragged away on the spot.

But it was Chen Wanli who spoke.

The Dragon King stroked his chin, unsure for a moment who was digging a pit for whom in this round.

Was Chen Wanli telling the truth, or was he setting a trap?

The Dragon King had always believed that although he was not particularly cunning, he was still quite wise and resourceful.

But now he has to admit that ever since he got involved in Chen Wanli and Ye Zhenjun's game of chess, his scalp has been getting increasingly itchy... as if he's temporarily growing a brain...

Not to mention the gods like Kuafu Chonghe, Fangfengting, and Lei Ze Laozu, who had some information gaps.

Chen Wanli didn't explain much.

The Xiangshou clan acted quickly, but the array base covered a large area, and it took them three or four days to complete.

At first, people from all sides intentionally or unintentionally came to see what was going on.

But soon they discovered that Chen Wanli didn't seem to be involved in the formation at all.

The Xiangshou clan also built it according to the basic principles of a common city-protecting formation.

Aside from Kuafu Chong, I had a vague feeling that the "materials" that Xiangshoushi brought out several times looked familiar, as if I had seen them somewhere before.

The camp! Oh right, I've seen it at the camp before.

It's not surprising that Xiang Shou Shi prepared the array base materials in advance, but Kua Fu Chong had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to say it.

Morning of the fourth day.

The beastmen finally stopped what they were doing.

"Ancestor Chen, the array foundation is complete! We are just waiting to begin setting up the array! May I ask which grand arrays Ancestor Chen wishes to set up? Do you need our assistance?"

Xiang Dehong cupped his hands in greeting.

Everyone looked up at the same time.

They had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

"No need, I'll do it myself!"

Chen Wanli stood up and walked steadily toward the central array plate engraved with intricate array patterns.

With each step taken, the dust that had accumulated on the ground seemed to retreat on its own, as if an invisible majesty was spreading out.

Everyone present involuntarily held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on him.
