Chapter 595 - 219: Completion of the Inverted Five Elements Grand Array, Changes Within the Five Peaks Spirit Land (Part 2)

"The array, it's done!"

"The Inverted Five Elements Array.

It's done.

Ends and beginnings are now linked, the array is officially formed."

"This array is truly extraordinary.

Why does it feel even stronger than the Yin Yang Qi Formation of our Zheng Family?"

"That's only natural.

This set of arrays, I've heard, was acquired by the Peak Master for over four hundred thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones from an auction at the Celestial Essence Summit.

Moreover, Master Tian Heng added some enhancements later, and the Peak Master spent another hundred thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones for further improvements.

In total, setting up the entire array cost more than five hundred thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones,

and you get what you pay for.

Our Yin Yang Qi Formation only cost two hundred thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, how could it compare to the Peak Master's fifty-plus thousand?

Not to mention, we even hired the Second-Grade High-Level Array Master, Master Tian Heng, to undertake the work..."

...

As the grand array took shape,

each cultivator began discussing.

Apart from the Zheng, Chen, and Zou families,

many loose cultivators who had decided to rent in the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land now also bore an inexplicable sense of relief on their faces.

Indeed.

Previously, although they rented in the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land,

their safety wasn't guaranteed at all.

The Heaven and Earth Alliance hardly cared for their well-being.

They were often harassed and coerced,

living in constant peril.

The protective arrays of their cave mansions and residences merely served to ensure some privacy and preparedness.

They couldn't genuinely guarantee their safety.

In case of real conflict, they could only rely on themselves.

Now, it's different.

With the entire Mountain Protection Array activated,

external cultivators can't pose any threat to their safety unless they breach the array.

At least, they no longer had to worry excessively about safety.

Inexplicably, they suddenly felt that renting in the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land was indeed an excellent choice.

Even,

they were unexpectedly urged to invite friends and family to come.

After all, loose cultivators also have relatives and friends.

It's just that each cultivates with difficulty, minding their own business, unable to consider others.

But if convenience were truly guaranteed, they would naturally think of their kin since having familiar cultivators around provided additional support.

...

"The grand array is done.

However, this array has just been formed, and in conditions of weak Spiritual Qi, its power is relatively weaker.

It needs to operate for three more days to accumulate enough Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, achieving the defensive strength to withstand full-force attacks from seven or eight Foundation Establishment realm cultivators.

Additionally, since the array is newly formed, there might be some issues in its operation.

Therefore, we will stay here with you for three more days, after which,

if everything runs smoothly,

we will take our leave."

Seeing this, Master Tian Heng took a step forward and said to Zhou Changwang, "Of course, if any issues arise later, you can always visit the 'Celestial Balance Array Residence' in Celestial Essence City, and we will naturally have someone assist you in maintenance."

"Thank you, Master Tian Heng."

Zhou Changwang cupped his hands and said,

"Daoist Kunpeng is too polite.

Since you're a Pill Master,

I might have to seek your expertise in the future.

I hope when the time comes, you'll lend your assistance in light of our current camaraderie."

Master Tian Heng smiled slightly and couldn't help but say,

He is, after all, a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, and although he doesn't lack Spirit Pills for cultivation due to his status,

the position of a Pill Master in the Cultivation Realm is indeed higher than that of an Array Master.

Especially Second-Grade and above Pill Masters have a revered status.

He naturally wanted to cultivate a good relationship.

"Naturally."

Zhou Changwang smiled humbly and agreed readily.

...

Zhou Yinglong was a loose cultivator.

His cultivation path was quite arduous.

Although he had always lived in the Cultivation Realm, looking back, it was only in his grandfather's generation that there was a cultivator, who had reached the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation.

Unfortunately,

his grandfather died early.

He hadn't even had the chance to check his Spiritual Root talent before he passed away mysteriously.

His parents were also affected; one died, the other was injured.

After many twists and turns, it wasn't until he was nearly an adult that he met a fellow loose cultivator who helped him discover his Spiritual Root talent, which turned out to be Gold, Fire, and Earth Three-Attribute Spirit Roots.

Such cultivation talents were considered rather good among the common Four or Five Spirit Roots of loose cultivators,

even qualifying him for major Immortal Sects.

Unfortunately.

He started cultivating too late.

Beginning after adulthood, he had only advanced to the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation in his forties.

Due to resource scarcity, he could only maintain himself by renting in the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land under Heaven and Earth Alliance's control.

Unexpectedly, things changed, and the Spirit Land changed hands.

The new Kunpeng Peak Master, upon taking over the Spirit Land, immediately invited Master Tian Heng to set up the Mountain Protection Array.

Now that the array was completed, as he gazed at the formation enveloping the whole sky, an inexplicable sense of peace overcame him.

Feeling as though the days of living in trepidation were gone forever.

Inside, he couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

The key factor is.

Once the array formed, he noticeably sensed that the Spiritual Qi around him had become noticeably denser.

Though not a huge increase, only about thirty percent,

he'd heard that this was merely because the array was newly formed.

In a few days, as Spiritual Qi accumulates, its density will increase by another thirty percent on this basis.

Under such circumstances, the Spiritual Qi density within his cave mansion can directly reach mid-tier Second Grade levels.

To him, the cultivation speed could almost double.

Thus, despite the increased rent being double what the Heaven and Earth Alliance charged, he felt it was all justified.

Therefore,

he immediately thought of the fellow loose cultivator, Fang Heng, who played a pivotal role in his initiation to the Dao.

Fang's circumstances weren't much better, with his cave occasionally being intruded upon by Demon Beasts.

Thus, he pondered inviting Fang to rent in the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land.

Not only would they have mutual care, but also the Spirit Land environment here was far superior to before.

Of course, he had invited him before,

but Fang was wary of the Heaven and Earth Alliance's reputation, thus hesitant to relocate.

Now things were different.

The Peak Master being a Pill Master now offers a chance to buy Spirit Pills at a discounted rate.

Unable to sit still, he hastened out of his cave mansion.

At this moment, many shared his sentiment.

Just stepping out, he overheard a couple of loose cultivators talking not far away.

"Husband,

the current environment in the Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land is so much better than before.

The Spiritual Qi density has almost doubled.

Should we invite my cousin and your good friend Liu Neng to come over and rent here too?"

The female cultivator suggested.

"The environment indeed is much improved.

Initially, with the rent increase, moving out seemed logical if it remained unsatisfactory.

Now, thinking about it, it's evident why it costs more."

The male cultivator smiled but quickly turned serious, shaking his head, he said, "However, inviting your cousin and Liu Neng over should wait for now.

Though the Spiritual Qi environment improved,

we mustn't forget the most critical factor.

The Peak Master still has friction with the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Though now, with Xu Kun and Zhang Dong from the Celestial Essence City Guard Team stationed, the Heaven and Earth Alliance dares not act rashly fearing the City Lord's Mansion.

But these two will eventually leave.

Once they depart,

it will be a moment for the Heaven and Earth Alliance cultivators to exert pressure.

Only after the Peak Master overcomes this hurdle will the entire Five Peaks Mountain Spirit Land be genuinely secure.

Otherwise, this place might turn into a vortex,

not necessarily stable."

His words were mature and well-considered.

The female cultivator beside him, hearing this, nodded appreciatively, showing agreement.
