Chapter 2859 - 2835: Preparing for Battle

Chapter 2859: Chapter 2835: Preparing for Battle

"How could the teacher’s ideas be something we can speculate on?" The Eternal God Emperor said respectfully, his gaze looking far into the distance. Perhaps their conversation was being observed by the teacher at every moment. Behind all of this, not only is he the manipulator, but his teacher is the one who truly chose Lin Feng. Looking at the Spirit Ruins Emperor and the Moyan Divine Emperor sitting nearby, he asked, "What’s wrong? Any thoughts?"

"Old Spirit Ruins, are you not going to participate in the battle?" The Moyan Divine Emperor said to the Spirit Ruins Emperor with a laugh. He had heard that Lin Feng had defeated the Spirit Ruins Emperor back in the day, and it seemed that the Spirit Ruins Emperor was not willing to confront Lin Feng this time.

The Spirit Ruins Emperor snorted and said, "It’s because I promised Lin Feng that I would never become his enemy; a man should keep his word. I won’t make a move!"

"Hahaha!" The other God Emperors simultaneously burst into laughter. These old fellows spent their days cultivating and hadn’t laughed this heartily in a long time. However, at the same time, they secretly thought to themselves that Lin Feng was indeed extraordinary. With such talent, he would surely become a pillar of the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm one day. Perhaps the entire realm would ultimately depend on Lin Feng.

The Eternal God Emperor nodded at everyone and then said, "Enough, enough. We will decide at that time. However, how can someone the teacher has eyes on be a mortal? We must take this matter seriously."

"Yes, you’re right..."

"Let’s have another round!"

"Is there any more wine..."

...

No one could see the scenes in the sky. They just drifted in the boundless air, which was their daily life. Now, the only thing they could do was wait for the day of the sect war. Perhaps Lin Feng would bring them some surprises.

Lin Feng directly teleported back to the sect. This time, he decided to arrange everything promptly because he knew this battle was inevitable and would come very quickly. He had to push for the fastest progress.

Stowing away the Teleportation Disk, Lin Feng was surprised to discover that Rong City was now suspended in the deepest part of Thunder Abyss Valley. Looking up at the floating Rong City, he nodded satisfied but had no time to inspect the place. He directly went to find Gu Tianhai, who was busy in the hall.

At this moment, Gu Tianhai was looking at the map inside the sect, his brows slightly furrowed as if pondering a problem. Seeing Lin Feng suddenly appear, he excitedly went to meet him and said, "Young Master, you’re back."

"Hmm, Tianhai, is your health okay?" Seeing Gu Tianhai’s serious expression just now, Lin Feng knew that Gu Tianhai must have been working hard for the sect’s affairs lately. However, seeing Gu Tianhai’s improved complexion, he wanted to ask whether his recent illness had recurred.

Gu Tianhai pulled out a chair for Lin Feng to sit, then poured him a cup of tea. Lin Feng had only been gone for a few days and had returned so quickly. Seeing Lin Feng safe and sound, he presumed the Demon Clan must have been driven away and said with a smile, "Young Master, I’m fine now. Is everything with the Demon Clan resolved?"

Lin Feng nodded, looking at Gu Tianhai, and said, "Yes, all taken care of, but only temporarily. We don’t know when the Demon Clan might return. By the way, have Wan’er and the others returned?"

"Reporting to the Young Master, three days after you left, Miss Wan’er joined Zhu Tao and the others in returning to Thunder Abyss Valley. They had a rough journey and took a long time to find the sect’s location. They have been resting these past few days, waiting for you to return to arrange the matters of Rong City," Gu Tianhai replied.

"I understand. Has anything else happened?" Lin Feng asked Gu Tianhai, having been gone only a few days and planning to greet Wan’er and the others, he unexpectedly saved much trouble, indicating Zhu Tao had thoroughly researched the Mechanism Puppet. He would need to check it out later.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Tianhai responded, "Ma Biaohu has gone to Lin City to fetch Miss Tao Tao and the others. If they’re traveling by Aurora, it might take some days before they return. The other tasks you assigned are also underway. I didn’t expect you to return so soon."

"The Demon Clan sent only a Three Stars Demon General this time, so it wasn’t too troublesome. However, if the Demon Clan learns that their forces were entirely wiped out, they’ll surely be enraged, making matters difficult. Additionally, the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm has officially declared war on the Rising Dragon Hall and will arrive at Thunder Abyss Valley soon, so we must hurry," Lin Feng said, his expression serious as he looked at Gu Tianhai. This matter was something the establishment of the sect had to face, so whether it came sooner or later made no difference to him. The Myriad Heavens Divine Realm’s advantage lay in their numbers, while the power of the Ascenders was limited, which was his concern.

What? So soon!

Gu Tianhai was secretly shocked, knowing the sect had to face the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm but didn’t expect it to be so soon. The timeline was indeed very pressing for them. At that moment, he blamed himself for falling ill; otherwise, progress within the sect could have been faster. Looking at Lin Feng, he asked, "Sect Master, I should start arranging immediately."

Lin Feng nodded, watching Gu Tianhai quickly leave the hall as he sat quietly in the room, drinking tea without any disturbances. Now, he could finally calm down and reflect on everything that had happened on this journey so far.

The sect had now reached its most critical moment. This was about the survival of all Ascenders. With his strength, he could ensure his safety and that of those around him, but he couldn’t protect everyone in the sect forever. He could safeguard the sect for a day, but not for a lifetime.

Therefore, the best way was to show the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm their true colors and definitely intimidate them. It wasn’t necessary to destroy the entire divine realm’s sect; they just needed to instill fear in their hearts towards the Rising Dragon Hall and himself. Also, the strength of the people within the sect needed to grow stronger.

The conclusion he desired was for the Ascenders to live equally in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. He wouldn’t bully any sect within the divine realm; however, if any stood against him, that would be a different story. His goal was to shelter the Ascenders and ensure the enduring prosperity of the Rising Dragon Hall in the divine realm.

Thinking of this, he had a preliminary plan. He believed Murong Chuan and the others needed time to gather their forces. In these days, he’d be very busy and would make thorough preparations to properly welcome the people from the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. He anticipated that by then, unseen God Emperors would appear, possibly more than one, so he had considered the worst-case scenarios and knew he needed to take action now.

Lin Feng stood up and walked toward Yuan Su’s room, hearing clanking sounds as soon as he reached the door. He knocked gently before pushing the door open. What he saw made him chuckle; before him was a sand table clearly presenting the full view of Thunder Abyss Valley, layered with mini arrays. Yuan Su sat on the ground with array books in hand, his hair disheveled, sighing helplessly.

Seeing Lin Feng suddenly appear, Yuan Su immediately stood, tidied his attire, and respectfully said to Lin Feng, "Sect Master, you’re here. Look at this mess; please have a seat."

After saying this, Yuan Su pulled out a chair for Lin Feng to sit and poured water, standing beside him. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to return just a few days after leaving, and the tasks Lin Feng had assigned him before leaving were still undone, troubling him deeply as he felt he had let down Lin Feng’s trust.

With a slight smile, Lin Feng glanced at the sand table’s arrays, clearly showing the old man hadn’t left the room for days. He could tell Yuan Su had completed the Sect Grand Formation before he left, but the arrays Lin Feng had entrusted to Yuan Su might not have been fully figured out yet. However, he didn’t blame Yuan Su, as Yuan Su also wanted to perfect the arrays. After taking a sip of water, he softly asked, "What? Any ideas?"

Yuan Su, a bit embarrassed, looked at Lin Feng and said, "Just no idea; you previously instructed me to set up arrays at the sect’s entrance, and I thought purely defensive arrays were far from enough, so I envisioned multiple layered arrays. However, I’ve encountered certain issues and have been ponderingly stuck these past few days."

"Tell me," Lin Feng said with a laugh, observing Yuan Su’s troubled expression. He recognized choosing Yuan Su as the Array Master was indeed the right decision. This old man pursued perfection in everything, exactly what a Formation Master needed. Looking at the various colored array models before him, Lin Feng immediately discerned Yuan Su’s dilemma.

"When the Sect Protection Array is activated, the sect becomes shielded as if encased in a golden bell, extremely sturdy. Thus, if an enemy invades, they can only approach through the entrance. Therefore, outside the entrance, we should also set up arrays thousands of miles away at vital routes. Previously, I mentioned that most of the Thunder Array and Fire Array played defensive roles, which is excessively passive, making me wonder whether we should set up some offensive arrays outside Thunder Abyss Valley," Yuan Su said to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded without speaking, for Yuan Su’s words echoed his own thoughts—plans he had long considered but not yet implemented. Clearly, Yuan Su’s thinking was quite comprehensive. He signaled Yuan Su to continue.

"It’s a matter of priority. I’ve explored outside Thunder Abyss Valley; it’s a forest, an obligatory path into the valley. I think setting up a Maze Formation there is a good idea, while parallel to it in the sky, we should initially place Killing and Illusion Arrays. Even if the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm’s experts can jointly resist them, reaching the sect’s entrance would’ve exhausted them, greatly benefiting our limited strength."

Yuan Su elaborated on his thoughts with Lin Feng, having observed the Ascenders in the sect cultivating these days. He understood that if they clashed head-on with the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, it would add substantial pressure on Lin Feng, so he wanted to provide additional support through arrays.

"Excellent."

Lin Feng patted Yuan Su on the shoulder, understanding his perspective. He truly wasn’t mistaken in choosing Yuan Su. However, Yuan Su’s array skills were significantly inferior to Lin Feng’s. Lin Feng initially planned to let Yuan Su manage the configurations, but time was so tight now that they lacked the luxury of time.
