Chapter 1731: Chapter 636: Setting Up a Formation to Slay Demons, Controlling Flower Island

"So this is the Purple Spirit Sea Area?"

A gigantic Python Dragon slowly emerged from beneath the turbulent sea surface.

On its black back, four figures sat cross-legged.

Luo Chen looked at the purple mist drifting above the sea and couldn’t help but frown.

Beneath him, Black King spoke in a low voice, "It wasn’t like this the first time I came here. Back then, the purple toxic barrier only covered Purple Spirit Island. Half a month ago, when I arrived here with everyone, we noticed the purple toxic barrier started spreading from the island, enveloping this sea area."

Duan Li added, "Not only that, some low-order Demon Fish nearby seemed to be bewitched, becoming aggressive towards strangers."

Luo Chen was puzzled; his understanding of the Purple Monkey Flower was limited to records, and he seemed never to have heard of such strong Spirit Intelligence!

However, it was Sang Jiugong, who was skilled in the art of Spirit Plant cultivation, who provided an explanation at this moment.

"Purple Spirit Island is vast, with many Purple Monkey Flowers. Such clumping of a species often produces a very strong leader. The Purple Monkey Flower’s aggression is primarily its floral toxin; once outside the range of this toxin, there’s not much danger."

"Last time Black King escaped from Purple Spirit Island, it likely caused these naive Purple Monkey Flowers to feel a sense of crisis, thus deliberately expanding the range of their floral toxin."

Naive?

The three looked at each other, with such Spirit Intelligence, it already counts as intelligent!

Luo Chen compared them to the Withered Blood Vine King on Deadwood Ridge; comparatively, the Purple Monkey Flower is still weaker, needing to enchant other creatures to fight for it. It doesn’t have much strength on its own.

However, one is Fourth Order, the other Fifth Order, so a difference is normal.

"Master, what should we do next, should we just attack the island?" Black King asked.

Luo Chen waved his hand, "No rush, let’s first covertly explore the island."

Both involve going to the island, but the distinction between attacking directly and going secretly is significant.

The most immediate aspect is avoiding a direct conflict with the island’s creatures right away.

Luo Chen pointed a finger at his body, activating the Concealing Array, and his presence became undetectable.

He looked at the other three, who also began utilizing concealment techniques.

Lu Shanjun placed a Talisman on himself and glanced at Luo Chen with slight surprise.

"Friend, your concealment skills are indeed exquisite, not just swift but also miraculous in hiding one’s presence."

At this moment, Luo Chen stood before the three of them; without his body there, no one would sense his presence.

Luo Chen smiled softly, his mastery in concealment techniques was indeed exquisite.

Engraving an entire Third-Order Formation on his body, it’s as if a whole Array conceals him.

Without previous preparation, it would be extremely difficult to detect his movements.

Just recently, in a battle with the Hundred Craft Mountain Master, the opponent suffered a silent disadvantage due to this.

While the other was frantically using Qingyang’s Great Handprint, he secretly struck with the Treasure-dropping Copper Coin, which the opponent never noticed.

When the opponent realized it, the Treasure-dropping Copper Coin had already hit their protective shield.

Thus breaking the stalemate and allowing Luo Chen to gain the upper hand.

Mentioning this, one must note Luo Chen’s rich battle experience and keen combat awareness.

The Treasure-dropping Copper Coin is merely a Lower Grade Magic Item, its power is rather ordinary.

Back when a Cultivator on Coldlight Island used it against Luo Chen, it had no effect at all.

Yet in Luo Chen’s hands, he could defeat the strong with the weak, creating vulnerabilities in a shield at the Top Grade Level.

This shows that the power of a Magic Item doesn’t only depend on its order, but also on how the wielder uses it.

"Let’s go!"

Luo Chen spoke, flying towards the island shrouded in purple mist, followed by the three behind him.

Black King, meanwhile, slowly sank beneath the sea surface, watching.

...

"The island stretches over seventy miles long and about forty miles wide. Its overall terrain is sunken inward, resembling a basin. Hills on the side block the ocean winds, creating a peculiar spectacle of lingering toxic mist."

"It seems that this unique geographic environment is linked to the abundant reproduction of the Purple Monkey Flowers on Purple Spirit Island."

"If we were to form an Array here, we could employ the Inverted Jade Bowl Grand Formation, which aligns with our previous predictions."

Pieces of information were calculated in Luo Chen’s mind.

With his eyes bright, Luo Chen continued to cautiously observe if there were any hidden tactics on the island.

Upon learning that the news about the Purple Monkey Flower was intentionally given to him by the Hundred Craft Mountain Master to draw him out, Luo Chen had a lingering concern about Purple Spirit Island on his journey.

Now, under close observation, that concern finally dissipated.

For the sake of genuine information, the Hundred Craft Mountain Master really did not mess with Purple Spirit Island.

Of course, he might simply not have been able to.

Just in a short half-day, Luo Chen sensed the intensity of the purple toxic barrier on the island, luckily he had long prepared the improved Detoxification Pill.

Thus, he could move unhindered on Purple Spirit Island.

After mapping out the island’s general terrain, Luo Chen did not cease his actions but rather walked in each of the four directions: southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast.

At each location, he would take out the God Sealing Compass to check the flow of Earth Qi and the distribution of Spirit Veins.

Setting up a big formation solely with one’s resources would be too consuming.

Leveraging the geography could indeed yield twice the result with half the effort!

At the same time, he had to ensure that the Array’s power was controlled to a certain extent to avoid unrestrainedly extracting Spirit Qi and ruining the Spiritual Island where the Purple Monkey Flowers grew.

Until the sunset’s afterglow spread, he left Purple Spirit Island to reunite with the other three.
