Chapter 258: Chapter 254 The Ruined Tower of Chaos_i

Li Cheng suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart. Having reached this step in his cultivation, he could invariably perceive a trace of Heaven’s secrets, and such a feeling indicated that something bad was indeed about to happen.

Li Cheng pondered, since he could think of refining the Judge Pen without fearing the Law field, how could the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor not know?

Therefore, it was highly likely that he would target the people around him!

With this thought, Li Cheng’s thinking became even clearer. It was certain that when the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor reappeared, it would be an unlucky time for those related to him.

Forcing such a figure as the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor into hiding was not good at all!

Furthermore, the Immortal Court might also use this kind of tactic to force him to hand over the Judge Pen.

Seeing Li Cheng’s brows gradually furrow, Tianji Zi patted his shoulder, “When the general meets soldiers and water meets earth, just go ahead with what you want to do without worry. Thanks to you, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect is no pushover now!”

Li Cheng thought it over and then nodded with a smile, “Ancestor Master, I came to ask for your help in refining the Judge Pen, but now that I think about it, I need to do something else first.”

To refine the Judge Pen, it was necessary to erase the imprints left by the Ten Thousand Aspects Immortal Emperor within, which would naturally alert him and might make him act desperately.

The risk was too great.

Therefore, Li Cheng planned on making full preparations before attempting to refine the Judge Pen.

“Ancestor Master naturally supports you with all his might!” Tianji Zi did not ask further and said with a smile.

Li Cheng bowed in gratitude and, with his Immortal Sense surging, located Mu Xingzhi.

In a short while, under Mu Xingzhi’s summoning, the high-level members of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect convened.

Above Heaven Secret Peak, in the sky hundreds of miles high, a group of high- level members looked down upon the Heavenly Mechanism Sect with varied expressions.

“Junior Uncle, our sect is developing rapidly. Look, taking the sect as the center, within a radius of two million miles there are numerous cities, all of which are affiliated with us. If you want to set up a Formation, you must consider these cities as well,” said the Sixth Elder, pointing downward.

Li Cheng had Mu Xingzhi summon everyone precisely to discuss the matters of the Sect Protection Array.

The Heavenly Mechanism Sect had grown to be the overlord of the Southern Domain, and even in the Central Continent, it held great prestige. The existing Sect Protection Array no longer matched the status of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

Moreover, since the revival of the Kunlun Realm, an ordinary Immortal Array could no longer serve as the Sect Protection Array, so a replacement was necessary!

In fact, the high-level members of the sect had discussed this long before, but alas, with only the Great Protector of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave as a formidable Array Master in the sect, it was difficult to finalize a new Formation in a short time. Plus, the rapid development of the sect meant the issue had been put off.

Indeed, Junior Uncle, the sect is not what it once was, and if we only focus on the sect’s dwelling, we will be seen as inferior,” the First Elder said in agreement.

Mu Xingzhi cleared his throat, “Junior Uncle, what the First Elder said makes perfect sense. I suggest that we spare no expense in setting up an Array that will resound throughout the Kunlun Realm!”

Upon hearing this, the First Elder’s heart skipped a beat, and he stared at Mu Xingzhi with widened eyes. Did he suggest setting up an Array that will resound throughout the Kunlun Realm?

Damn!

He got saddled with the blame again!

Indeed, one should never casually give their opinion in front of the Sect Master!

The slightest inattention could lead to being made a scapegoat by the Sect Master, which was exactly why one should not speak at all!

Mu Xingzhi’s words brightened the eyes of the others. Yes, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect now indeed deserved an earth-shattering great Array!

For a moment, expectant gazes turned toward Li Cheng.

Li Cheng, after some contemplation, approvingly looked at the First Elder, “The First Elder is truly deserving of his title, hitting the nail on the head!”

The First Elder’s mouth twitched, his expression becoming slightly rigid. Was it really him who said it? It was clearly the Sect Master’s remark!

“All the Elders are worldly and wise, why don’t you all share your thoughts?

What ideas do you have for the new great Array?” Li Cheng asked further.

When it came to formations, the person most qualified to speak first among the high-level members of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was naturally the Sixth Elder.

The Sixth Elder was already an Array Master and had learned quite a bit from Li Cheng in the past, significantly improving his Array Mastery.

The Sixth Elder clasped his hands together, “Junior Uncle, let me make a fool of myself first. I think, given the current development momentum of our sect, we should not merely confine ourselves to this radius of two million miles.

Instead, we should expand further. The new Sect Protection Array should cover as large an area as possible!”

But the larger the range covered by the Array, the more materials it will need and the greater the consumption after its completion, so we should try to leverage the power of nature to set up the Formation…”

The Seventh Elder cut off the Sixth Elder, saying, “You’re being too vague. In short, I think we should turn our sect into a fortress as solid as gold!”

“Both the Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder are correct, yet we still need to consider various factors, such as improving the cultivation environment, accommodating more cities…”

Suddenly, the lid was off the can of words, and the high-level members each started to voice their own opinions.

Li Cheng kept nodding, as ‘three cobblers with their wits combined could outmatch the wisdom of the sage Zhuge Liang’ was no idle saying. The thoughts of the high-level members, once put together, indeed gave Li Cheng many inspirations.

They discussed until the next day when Mu Xingzhi finally raised his hand to quiet the crowd, “After talking for one day, all we want is to maximize the cultivation environment and secure the sect as strong as a fortress. I won’t go into details… Right, First Elder, you’ve been quiet all day, why haven’t you said anything?”

The others also realized this and turned their gazes to the First Elder, in unison. Indeed, after a day of discussion, everyone had talked until they were hoarse, but the First Elder hadn’t said a word.

The First Elder smiled without a word. Ask me to speak? Is it because you want me to take the blame?

When Junior Uncle leads the entire sect to set up the great Array and everyone is worn out, these people will say: It’s all the First Elder’s fault. If it weren’t for him proposing such an Array, why would we be so exhausted?
