Chapter 220: Spirit Summoning Array

Hearing his words, the eighteen young girls seemed bewildered, as if they didn't quite grasp what he was saying.

Tang San didn't say much, knowing from personal experience what brainwashed human slaves were like. Change would take time. But the priority was to take care of the most important matters first.

"Master, let's go outside the waterfall. You all can come with me," Tang San called out to the eighteen Crimson Fox girls.

Returning to the waterfall, Zhang Haoxuan parted the water curtain with both hands. Tang San gathered the eighteen girls by his side, then enveloped them in a whirlwind, flinging them onto the shore. They panicked and shrieked as they flew, but with his exquisite control over the wind element, each Crimson Fox girl was placed lightly and safely on the bank.

Then Tang San, along with Zhang Haoxuan, also went ashore.

The girls' gazes toward him changed instantly; their eyes widened at the miraculous manipulation of the wind element. Although naive in the ways of the world, they naturally held a deep respect for the powerful. In addition, Tang San looked around their age, making him more approachable than the fearsome demons. Their fear diminished considerably, replaced by a growing curiosity as they looked at him.

Tang San told Zhang Haoxuan, "Master, I'll begin now. I must not be disturbed. Please guard me."

"Alright," Zhang Haoxuan nodded, curious about what Tang San was about to do.

Tang San looked up towards the sun, then at the pond, and began walking around it. He walked with purpose, radiating spiritual power. His eyes shined with white light, characteristic of the Celestial Fox Transformation.

The choice of location was crucial for his next task, as he sought to maximize his luck.

After circling the outer rim of the pond twice, he finally stopped about five meters from the pond.

He removed a golden branch from his storage bracelet and slowly began to draw something on the muddy ground. His movements were slow, yet entirely focused. Zhang Haoxuan could feel the intense fluctuations of Tang San's spiritual power, which were so strong that even he was surprised.

Is the effect of the Purple Sun Fruit this good? This kid’s spiritual power might well be stronger than mine,

thought Zhang Haoxuan.

Tang San drew with great seriousness. One after the other, crisscrossing lines appeared on the ground. Though simply etched in mud, the lines carried an air of mystery, almost as if he were painting an abstract piece of art.

Zhang Haoxuan understood that Tang San was outlining a spirit-summoning array. He couldn't help but move closer to watch, but when he did that, he found that he couldn't comprehend it. Even though it had no energy fluctuations, there was something about the array that felt both ominous and profound.

Tang San continued without pause, each stroke enhancing the complexity of the array, expanding its scope. The Crimson Fox girls, patient and distant, watched with faces full of curiosity, even more clueless than the mayor about what Tang San was doing.

An hour later, a complex pattern over five meters in diameter had been drawn on the shore of the small pond. It had many concentric patterns and intersecting lines, the meaning of which was unclear. But once fully lined, that mysterious aura Zhang Haoxuan felt became even more distinct.

Golden light flickered behind Tang San, and a pair of massive wings unfolded—the Golden Roc Transformation. He gently flapped his wings, lifting his body into the air. He didn't use the wind element to float because drawing the array had considerably drained his spiritual power. Poor control of the wind element could destroy the array below, rendering all his efforts futile.

He flew above the array's center, took a deep breath, and slowly drove the piece of Golden Wood into the ground, burying it more than halfway. A faint golden color appeared on the surface of the wood, and the entire array, seemingly just lines in the mud, seemed to tremble slightly.

A faint smile appeared on Tang San's lips. He could feel that the array he had drawn was flawless.

Subsequently, he took out another piece of Golden Wood and inserted it into the second position, followed by a third and a fourth.

Zhang Haoxuan's eyes gradually widened in shock. Watching Tang San insert the pieces of Golden Wood into the array, he noticed that the lines seemed to come alive, resonating at the same frequency.

During Tang San's earlier drawing of the array, Zhang Haoxuan had already discerned some of its mysteries. Tang San's spiritual power constantly remained over each line, infusing them with his energy, making these seemingly random lines function as a whole.

As the pieces of Golden Wood were inserted, it was like adding the finishing touches to a painting, illuminating the entire array. Accompanied by vibrations, the spiritual power within the array increased, and they began to resonate with energy fluctuations of the same frequency. These vibrations were not from the mud or the Golden Wood but felt like a dense fusion of the world's elemental energy.

This marvelous array was undoubtedly drawing the world's spiritual energy and converging towards it.

Communicating with the heavens and earth!

This feature alone indicated the success of Tang San's array.

The Golden Woods fell into the array one by one. With each additional piece, the gold color on the surface of the other pieces became more intense, appearing both strange and dazzling.

Finally, the last piece of Golden Wood appeared in Tang San's hand. His spiritual power surged instantly, and his eyes emitted a blazing white light. He felt a peculiar sensation—it was the little bit of extra luck he needed right now.

With a small thud, the Golden Wood in his hand fell to the ground, precisely inserted into its designated spot.

A loud hum resounded, followed by a transparent golden halo rippling outward instantly.

Every piece of Golden Wood began to tremble violently, causing ripples to spread across the pond's surface.

Tang San floated to the ground, his face somewhat pale. He deactivated the Golden Roc Transformation, but he could not be any more excited.

"It's done!"

Each piece of Golden Wood emitted a soft golden halo, and the vibration gradually stabilized from the intensity. The gold on their surfaces began to flow downward, merging into the array below. As they passed Zhang Haoxuan and the Crimson Fox girls, the expanding golden halos didn't seem to affect them but added an indescribable essence to the surroundings.

Zhang Haoxuan, the one with the strongest perception around, noticed that the spiritual energy here seemed to grow richer with the completion of the array. Initially subtle, it increased steadily and continuously over time. The spiritual energy didn't disperse into the air but flowed toward the array, quietly disappearing into it.

Tang San sat down on the spot, meditating to recover his previously expended energy.

Zhang Haoxuan circled the array a few times, silently sensing its changes.

This array did more than communicate with the heavens and earth; it absorbed the external spiritual energy. Even more peculiar was that the speed at which the spiritual energy was being absorbed gradually increased. The pieces of Golden Wood, now resembling ordinary branches, and the array below, with golden halos flowing through it intermittently, looked genuinely wondrous.
