Chapter 896: Chapter 895 Star Array

"Formation?"

The crowd exclaimed in surprise, Su Yang had actually proposed such a method?

These people, coming from the Great Sects, were all well-informed and experienced. Moreover, many of those Sects had their own Sect-Protecting Great Formations, so they certainly knew the power of a great formation.

But all great formations had been laid down by Earthen Immortals of generations past. Furthermore, each Mountain Protection Array required the Earthen Immortals to spend decades, even scores of years sculpting before they could achieve miraculous effects.

Not any formation could be casually set up; setting up formations had never been an easy task since ancient times!

Thus, despite such circumstances, no one had considered setting up a formation.

Now, Su Yang proposing this method truly baffled everyone. Was Su Yang indulging in wild fantasy, or what?

"Master Su, this... setting up a formation is not an easy task..." the Hua Tuo Sect Leader said, lowering his voice: "To set a formation, first, one needs particularly good materials to lay out the embryonic form of the formation. Moreover, the power of a formation generally comes from the force of heaven and earth, which often requires an Array Eye capable of operating the formation. The Array Eye, in turn, must be constructed from superb materials and must be imbued with immense power so that it connects with heaven and earth, allowing it to draw the force of heaven and earth for the use of the formation. Only then can a formation be operated."

"Getting a formation to operate is only the first step. Because setting up a formation isn’t something accomplished overnight, after the formation starts to operate, it must still be carefully sculpted and corrected, often needing a dozen years to finally achieve the desired effect."

"We only have one day’s time. Even if we have enough materials and power, we still don’t have this much time to sculpt and correct it!"

The others also nodded. Although these people couldn’t set up formations themselves, they at least had heard of such matters and naturally understood how difficult this was.

Su Yang smiled faintly, "The formation I want to set up isn’t like the ones everyone knows about. I want to set up the Star Array. It only requires people to stand in fixed positions, and they can harness the power of the stars to form a formation."

"There’s such a formation?" everyone was astonished; they had never heard of this formation before.

"The Star Array corresponds to the heavenly bodies. There are three hundred and sixty-five stars, and thus we need three hundred and sixty-five people to set up this formation," said Su Yang. "That is to say, our Great Sects together need to gather three hundred and sixty-five people to establish this formation!"

They all glanced at each other; assembling that many people wasn’t difficult. However, what would this formation’s effects actually be?

A Sect Master asked, "Alliance Leader Su, with so many sects together, not to mention three hundred and sixty-five people, we can gather four to five hundred. However, these people vary in strength, some strong and some weak; the disparity is significant. Setting up a formation with such a variety will it impact the effectiveness of the formation?"

"That won’t be a problem," Su Yang said. "The main purpose of this formation is to trap those below the Fusion Realm. So, even if they are only at Qi Refinement level, as long as they set up the formation as I’ve instructed, they will be able to trap anyone below the Fusion Realm!"

"Oh?" everyone enlightened, another Sect Master said, "Alliance Leader Su, with such a large alliance of powerful families and sects, there are probably one to two hundred people above the Fusion Realm. Below the Fusion Realm, there are likely two to three thousand. Can our formation really trap so many? Even if it does trap them, what about those above the Fusion Realm?"

The crowd nodded; this was indeed their main concern.

"Once this formation is set, even if there were ten thousand of them, once they enter the array, they won’t be able to leave," Su Yang looked at Huo Zihen and others and continued, "As for those above the Fusion Realm, I’ll need your help!"

Huo Zihen nodded, "We will surely give our all!"

"Thank you!" Su Yang bowed, "At that time, you just need to block those Fusion Realm masters for me. As for those Sovereigns, I’ll handle them personally!"

"Ah?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and Huo Zihen was also aghast, "Master Su, the Southern Six Provinces have always valued martial prowess, and their martial strength far exceeds ours in Pingnan and Pingbei. Among them, there are likely thirty to fifty at the Sovereign Realm, and moreover, there are experts like Han Tianyuan, Wan Mingshan, and Xie Feiyu, as well as notorious villains like Wu Qianqian and Zheng Jiusha, and assassins lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment. You facing them alone is too dangerous. Perhaps, let Lian Family’s Thirteen Hawks assist you?"

The crowd looked towards Lian Family’s Thirteen Hawks seated far away. Although few had seen the Thirteen Hawks, they all knew from Jeang Zier’s recount of the battle in Pingbei that the Thirteen Hawks had forced Su Yang into retreat. If it were not for Su Yang using a powerful Secret Technique, he might not have been able to defeat the Thirteen Hawks, which showed their fierce prowess!

Huo Zihen suggesting that Lian Family’s Thirteen Hawks help Su Yang indicated his concern for the situation. After all, for Su Yang to battle so many masters alone was truly perilous!

"No need!" Su Yang shook his head, "I can handle these people alone. Everyone just needs to maintain their positions, absolutely do not move. Leave the rest to me!"

Everyone exchanged looks, honestly feeling that Su Yang was being overly confident. To battle thirty to fifty Sovereigns, including so many long-standing experts whose strength was no less than Su Yang’s — wasn’t this tantamount to courting death?

"All right, that settles it!" Su Yang declared: "Sect Leaders and Great Elders, please go back and select eligible people from your sects to set the Star Array. Remember, you must find reliable ones with steady strength. A wrong position could disrupt the entire operation of the Star Array, and that would cause us trouble!"

Seeing Su Yang speak so assuredly, no one said anything more and they went off to arrange for personnel.

Three hundred and sixty-five people were selected quickly.

Su Yang led these people to different positions on Accumulated Cloud Mountain, assigning one here, another there. Then, each person was given several pieces of Supreme Green Jade, used to communicate with the formation.

This was fortunate that they all belonged to Medical Sects, which never lacked Supreme Green Jade. Otherwise, supplying so many pieces of Supreme Green Jade alone would have been impossible.

After dispersing everyone’s positions, it was already past midnight.

At this time, outside the mountain gate, those people were still miserably kneeling on the ground. After half a day of kneeling, many were exhausted, but not one dared move recklessly — after all, their lives were at stake.
