Chapter 1222: Rank Six Grand Formation

After everyone left, Shang Xia’s clone remained above the heavenly screen and continued to observe everything that was happening.

Since they established the Teleportation Formation, they haven’t stopped sending people or creatures over.

From the initial tests where individuals were slowly being sent over, to 5 man squads, all the way up to 20 men squads, to the point where 30 cultivators were sent over, no problems occurred. Only after verifying that there wouldn’t be any problem with continuous transfers did they finally stop and start to test sending goods.

As the materials and resources gathered in Five Peaks City were sent back in batches to the You Continent, the You Continent sent back talismans, weapons, medicine, and other types of resources. Once again proving the viability of sending goods over, Sun Haiwei allowed the Formation Grandmasters to announce that the Teleportation Formation would be open to everyone.

Great cheers soon broke out in the crowd.

In the eyes of some more observant people, they discovered that there were hundreds of members of the Tongyou Institution in the Five Peaks City and many more batches of resources.

Without a doubt, from how the Heavenly Star Palace had been showing signs of backing out from the Jiao Continent, the Tongyou Institution was making their preparations in case anything went wrong. They were prepared to take back control over the regions the Heavenly Star Palace would be giving up once they left.

It was also why Yin Jingxu’s expression turned unsightly at the end as he hurried back to the Star Observatory.

Shang Xia’s clone finally left after seeing that the operation of the Five Element Teleportation Formation didn’t run into any problems. He headed straight back to the You Continent.

When he just arrived above the heavenly screen above the You Continent, he observed that some change was happening within.

In no rush to return to the institution, he simply stared at everything happening below. He discovered that the institution had disappeared from his perception and even the city looked like a mere illusion.

“This...” Seemingly realizing something, a look of joy appeared on Shang Xia’s face before he descended.

Even though the Tongyou Institution had shielded itself from the perceptions of many cultivators, it didn’t actually disappear. With how deeply he understood the Tongyou City and his connection with it, there was no way he would lose his way.

A ray of light descended from the heavens as Shang Xia’s clone appeared back in the institution. The first thing he did was to release his divine soul and he quickly detected where many cultivators had gathered. It was one of the core nodes of the rank six grand formation in the institution, and it was where the Five Element Ring was located.

The 3 deputy patriarchs, Instructors, and teachers of the institution were also gathered there, and even many Hall Masters and deacons were gathered. It was so crowded that they nearly couldn’t squeeze in.

Formation Grandmasters of the institution were moving about hastily in the formation node under Chu Jia’s orders.

From what Shang Xia could feel with his divine soul, the formation node was like a massive fortress and it was basically impregnable. There were even countless layers of protection beneath the ground.

He appeared so silently and his concealment was so strong that not even Chu Jia, who was the most sensitive to changes in the surroundings, noticed him.

Slowly approaching where the 3 deputy patriarchs were, Shang Xia asked, “Didn’t we just succeed in deploying the long-range Teleportation Formation to the Jiao Continent? Why have the members of the Formation Hall gathered here so suddenly?”

The 3 deputy patriarchs turned around abruptly and stared at the twisted space where he was. With their gazes on him, Shang Xia couldn’t help but feel a little weak.

Eventually, Yun Jing explained, “It was such a coincidence. We just completed the deployment of the formation in the south of the city, but maybe it was because of the powerful spatial fluctuations, or maybe we came under attack, but our grand formation was activated...”

Shang Xia chuckled happily, “Would that mean that our rank six grand formation is finally complete? It’s a lot faster than we expected. However... Why do they look to be in such a rush?”

Yun Jing snorted at his question, “From now on, the Teleportation Formation in the south of the city will be active often. If it activates our grand formation every time, how much world origin do you think we have to waste?!”

“It doesn’t seem that difficult to solve... We can just lay down a formation that prevents the spatial fluctuations from affecting the core formation node, or we can adjust the sensitivity... It doesn’t seem too difficult, right?”

He might not be a Formation Grandmaster, but he at least had basic knowledge of it.

Yun Jing mumbled, “Yeah, but the main point here is that Little Chu decided to take the opportunity to retrieve the Five Element Ring and the entirety of the Formation Hall has been activated. It’s to ensure that the grand formation can still operate with the five elements being balanced even after the removal of the Formation Divine Artifact.”

“Why are there so many people here then?” Shang Xia’s clone couldn’t help but ask again.

Ji Wenlong was the person who answered his question. “Originally, Little Chu called us here to assist her in case things went wrong. Now that you’re here, it looks like we don’t need to do anything...”

Shang Xia’s clone nodded slightly and understood what happened. He looked at Chu Jia who was hovering above the formation node to wait for the perfect moment to take action.

Almost an hour passed when she finally yelled, “Everyone, take your positions! When I give the signal, all you need to do is to pour your inner qi into the formation!”

The next second, she seemed to have noticed Shang Xia’s clone and she heaved a sigh of relief silently. Her originally taut nerves relaxed a lot.

Looking down, Shang Xia’s clone noticed that everything beneath him was part of the formation node, or actually, it was more appropriate to say that the entire region they were in was part of the formation node.

The next second, the dozens of Formation Masters who ran into the central area that housed the Five Element Ring came rushing out.

As soon as she saw them, Chu Jia yelled, “Begin!”

The cultivators of the Tongyou Institution immediately started pouring their inner qi into the ground below as fate dipper qi, extermination qi, and different types of energy poured into the ground below.

The sturdy formation node started to tremble all of a sudden as the shaking slowly started to spread to the rest of the institution.

“Now!” Chu Jia yelled loudly as brilliant rays of light emerged from around her and shot deep into the ground below.

It was as though something had awakened as a loud ringing sound rang in the ears of every cultivator in the city. The next moment, a large screen of five colored light shot up into the air before merging with the glow around Chu Jia.

When the light finally faded, they saw a spinning light ring around Chu Jia and they didn’t need to rack their brains to realize that it was the Five Element Ring.
