Chapter 1210: Solution



Chapter 1210: Solution

The first person to speak after Yun Jing was done talking was Chu Jia, the Formation Hall Master, and the greatest Formation Grandmaster in the Spirit Luxuriant World. “Laying down a rank six grand formation in the Star Beast Nest seems like a waste of resources. However... A Star Beast Nest is already a considerable fortress... After all, it is able to nurture high-level treasures and if we use the already existing structure to replace a portion of the formation, it won’t be too difficult to deploy a grand formation there...”

“Of course, if we can borrow the strength of our Spirit Luxuriant World, laying down a rank six grand formation would be even easier.” Chu Jia also added.

Shang Xia glanced at her before looking at the person behind her.

They looked familiar, and he should have seen that person somewhere before. Racking his brains, he realized that it was the leader of the Formation Masters he saved back in the Azure Oddity World. From what he heard from Chu Jia, that person was really talented in the dao of formations and it wouldn’t be long before he became a rank five Formation Grandmaster.

Naturally, every high-level Formation Master had to rely heavily on their backer.

In order to lay down a formation, not only would one need to gather various types of resources, but they would also require help in many different places. Normally, every good Formation Master would be supported by a powerful faction.

The more talented a Formation Master was, the stronger the support they would receive!

Any Formation Master who didn’t receive much assistance from their faction wouldn’t go far in the dao of formations.

A thought couldn’t help but flash through Shang Xia’s mind. Perhaps, if they were to lay down a formation in the Star Beast Nest, the Tongyou Institution would be able to produce a second rank five Formation Grandmaster!

“If we truly need a high-level True Immortal to be stationed in the Star Beast Nest, and if Hall Master Shang cannot take on the role forever...” Lou Zizhang, the Deputy Hall Master mumbled while glancing at Shang Xia’s clone, “Is it possible for us to use Illusion Talismans on other True Immortals to make it seem as though they are high-level True Immortals?”

A light flashed in Yun Jing’s eyes and she quickly interjected, “Do you mean that we should fake a high-level True Immortal in the Star Beast Nest? How long can an Illusion Talisman last?”

Shang Xia’s clone thought for a second before he replied, “Even my true body didn’t think of something like that. As for how long it would be able to last... If the person in disguise doesn’t make a move, it shouldn’t be a problem for it to last half a year...”

Lou Zizhang’s idea seemed useful to a certain extent, and they had done something similar in the past. When they located the first Star Beast Nest and were attacked by the True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World, a Martial Dipper Realm expert of the institution once pretended to be a True Immortal to scare them from going too far.

Ji Wenlong also continued, “If it’s truly possible to pretend to be a high-level True Immortal, we might be able to gain more by doing so. After all... We can show the foreign world that we have more than a single high-level True Immortal. This way, they won’t be able to properly determine our strength and will be a little more wary when dealing with us.”

Yun Jing nodded in agreement. “In order to do so, we need to ensure that Little Shang contacts them and settles all the details before we try anything like it. He also has to show our determination to leave nothing behind if they show any malicious intent, while also striking fear in their hearts with his overwhelming strength. After all... Only when we are of comparable strength will we be able to negotiate on equal grounds...”

The next second, Liu Zhiyuan also spoke up, “We don’t have too many Free True Immortals in our Spirit Luxuriant World, right? Other than the True Immortals of our institution, the others are all in the first tier of the Martial Void Realm...”

That also seemed to be a problem. The Spirit Luxuriant World’s foundation was far too shallow.

Shang Xia’s clone chimed in suddenly, “Huang Jinghan should be breaking through to the second tier soon. If he’s able to complete the process in his time in the first Star Beast Nest, that would be for the best. If required, I can also help to stay in the Star Beast Nest in my true body’s stead.”

Huang Jinghan breaking through was a piece of important news to the Spirit Luxuriant World as it would directly affect the highest-level combat strength of the world.

Shang Xia told the deputy patriarchs of the news before and this time, he was informing the rest of the higher-ups of the institution. It would allow them to gain a better understanding of the situation of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

A commotion broke out as expected among them, but they eventually stared at Shang Xia’s clone in shock. Only then did they realize that Shang Xia’s clone also had a cultivation level at the second tier of the Martial Void Realm.

Shang Xia’s clone had experienced the surprise and confusion from the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World, and the curious gazes of the upper echelons of the Tongyou Institution were nothing to him at the moment.

Liu Zhiyuan continued suddenly, “If the patriarch was here... Things will be a lot easier.”

That might be what the rest of the experts of the institution were thinking at the moment, and their main purpose would be to learn any news of their patriarch

Shang Xia’s clone immediately retorted, “No, we cannot interrupt what he’s doing at the moment. He’s up to something important at the moment and there’s no need for him to return!”

Actually, the deputy patriarchs knew a little about what Kou Chongxue was up to. After all, it would be impossible to conceal what was happening in the Tongyou Elysium from them.

However, Shang Xia was the only one who knew exactly what Kou Chongxue was up to. Even the deputy patriarchs only had a vague idea and could only guess blindly.

“So... That begs the next question. After Little Shang leaves, how should those within the Star Beast Nest evacuate if foreign experts attack and catch us off guard...” Yun Jing no longer continued to speak about matters regarding Kou Chongxue’s return and brought them back on track. “I’m afraid that’s the most difficult part of what we need to do!”

If Shang Xia remained in the Star Beast Nest, he would definitely be able to send their core members into the spatial tunnel before he returned personally while wiping away all traces of their existence so that they couldn’t be tracked.

Even if they could solve the problem of there being a high-level True Immortal by making one appear with an Illusion Talisman, it wouldn’t be easy to reproduce the abilities of one.

Ge Qingzhu eventually suggested, “The Star Beast Nest is massive and according to Hall Master Shang, it’s as large as an Elysium. That would mean that the most important problem we have to deal with is how we can gather everyone together in case anything happens.”

“Martial Dipper Realm cultivators can pass through the secret region as they please, but it won’t be easy for cultivators in the Martial Extermination Realm...” Dou Zhong mumbled at the side.

Martial Dipper Realm cultivators in the Spirit Luxuriant World might be in great numbers at the moment, but they were still core members of the various powers. No matter how important a secret region was, there was no way a faction would send all their Martial Dipper Realm experts over to take charge of it.

They would have to send cultivators in the Martial Extermination Realm, and even Martial Intent Realm to manage the secret region.

Lou Zizhang glanced at Shang Xia’s clone again and asked, “If all of us bring an Escape Talisman... They might be able to move extremely quickly!”

He wasn’t making things difficult for the Talisman Hall on purpose. If everyone who went to the Star Beast Nest really carried an Escape Talisman, that would be a massive opportunity for the Talisman Hall as the demand for talismans would skyrocket. After all, there would be people going to the Star Beast Nest from time to time, and talismans would lose their effects after a few years. The Talisman Hall would receive a never-ending contract to craft Escape Talismans in that case.

Sun Haiwei shot the Deputy Talisman Hall Master a glance at his response. Even though he was a little bit of an ass-kisser, one had to say that he had a part to play in the constant progress of the Talisman Hall. After all, they were still able to operate normally with Shang Xia dealing with matters outside, and their efficiency usually never dropped.

Of course, being an impressive Deputy Hall Master was one thing, but they still had to look at the problem objectively. Sun Haiwei quickly interjected, “Even with an Escape Talisman, they won’t be able to travel fast enough. It would be best if they had a way to travel through the space of the Star Beast Nest to quickly arrive at the gathering point.”

Lou Zizhang’s expression sank immediately. If we’re talking about teleportation, rank four talismans would barely be able to make it happen... However, if we try to use rank five Teleportation Talismans... It’s too much to give everyone heading there a rank five Teleportation Talisman!”

Being a colossal waste was one thing, but the other was that even if Shang Xia personally crafted rank five Teleportation Talismans, he would need a long time to complete them all! Any other Talisman Grandmasters would take even longer, and god knew how many resources would go to waste.

They would also need to replenish the talisman from time to time, and no one was able to invest all their time in crafting rank five Teleportation Talismans.

Because of that, everyone was stuck in a dilemma as no one knew how to proceed.

Seeing as no one was speaking, Yun Jing chuckled, “There\'s no need to be discouraged. Maintaining the Star Beast Nest isn’t just the responsibility of our institution. If we can’t think of anything for the time being, that doesn’t mean that the other great powers are equally clueless.”

She couldn’t help but burst out laughing the next moment, “They can’t expect our Tongyou Institution to solve all the problems, right? In that case, we should just manage the Star Beast Nest ourselves... Why do we need to share it with them?”

The experts of the Tongyou Institution heaved a sigh of relief at her response.

Ji Wenlong also snickered at the side, “We can’t underestimate the other great powers. There are also many factions that possess their own Holy Lands that have histories far longer than us. There’s no need to mention the Northern Sea Mystic Sect, Eternal Palace, and Divine Capital Sect. God knows how much more information they’re hiding and haven’t shared with us. This difficult problem we’re facing might just be solved if they share a secret art or two...”

“Alright, let’s talk about the next problem then. Wiping away all traces when escaping is another important point we need to take care of... In fact, it’s the most important problem we have to solve. If we are unable to clear our tracks, our Spirit Luxuriant World might be exposed to the enemy and fall into great danger. If we can’t think of a solution to this problem, there is no way anyone will agree to the development of the Star Beast Nest.” Yun Jing continued on to the next topic of interest.

Once again, everyone fell silent.

... Before the deputy patriarchs could comfort them and leave it up to the rest of the great powers to think of a solution, Chu Jia broke the silence. “Perhaps... Perhaps, our Formation Hall has a way to erase our tracks when we retreat!”
