Chapter 53 Research on the Great Array
How exactly do we break this grand formation?
Bai Sheng didn't actually have any ideas.
The process of creating something from nothing, from zero to one, is always the most difficult.
We can only figure it out slowly.
Bai Sheng continued to observe the ghost-face-shaped formation.
Think about what you don't like.
such as,
Those two depressions are the most concave areas on the entire face, most resembling "eyes".
If there is a formation here, the eyes are very likely to exist as the core of the formation.
Just do it.
Bai Shengxian manipulated his clone to descend from the earthen slope.
Returning to the wasteland,
Head straight for the hollows around the eyes on the east side.
At the same time, two backup clones nearby were dispatched to the western depression.
Once all three clones are in position,
Bai Shengrang's later-formed clones leaped onto a higher earthen slope.
To oversee and direct operations.
The remaining clones split into two groups to be responsible for digging.
Without digging tools,
The clones picked up some pebbles from the abandoned ditch as a substitute.
Each of them started digging down from the edge of the depression.
They dug about two feet deep.
The clone from the left eye socket segment was the first to send back feedback.
The gravel hit a hard object, and the sound was muffled.
Bai Sheng ordered his other clone to stop attacking.
Focus your energy on controlling the clone in your left eye socket to clear away the loose soil.
Click!
Click!
The two clones exerted their strength simultaneously, taking turns digging in the soil.
Soon,
A grayish-white stone slab was exposed beneath the soil.
The surface is rough, but the shape is too regular.
Square and upright
There are several very shallow chisel marks on the edge.
Bai Sheng determined that it was not a natural stone.
It looks more like it was buried by human hands.
He instructed his clone to continue digging downwards, and the full outline of the stone slab gradually came into view.
It is about one foot square.
Each of the four corners is engraved with a minimalist symbol.
A circle, several radiating lines.
A triangle, a cross.
The symbols were engraved very shallowly.
The gray-white stone slabs were filled with mud.
But it's not hard to see that they are four different markings!
Bai Sheng didn't know what these four symbols represented.
A dark red stone, the size of a pigeon egg, was embedded in the very center.
The surface is dull.
Bai Sheng stared at it for a while, but then felt he had been looking at it for too long.
You can feel something wriggling very slowly inside.
"What kind of weird stuff is this?"
He didn't rush to move the stone.
Tell the clones to step back.
Sweep the entire wasteland again.
If you have one of these in your left eye, is it highly likely that you'll have one in your right eye as well?
as predicted,
The clones also dug out a similar stone slab from the depression beneath the right eye socket.
The same four-corner symbols, the same central groove, and the same dark red stone.
Using his clone's vision from the high ground, Bai Sheng found several more similar locations.
For example, areas like the space between the eyebrows, nostrils, and cheekbones.
Although most of them came up empty-handed.
but,
At the bottom of the ditch at the lip position,
They actually unearthed a third stone slab!
Because it was buried quite deep in the silt, it took a lot of effort.
Bai Sheng didn't rush to remove the stone slab.
I just carefully considered the patterns within them.
The three stone slabs were found to be in very precise positions.
The standards seem a bit forced!
"Um?"
These three stone slabs are arranged in a perfect triangular shape.
These correspond to the right eye, left eye, and mouth positions on a human face, respectively.
They were about three hundred paces apart.
It forms a perfectly standard isosceles triangle.
Bai Sheng tried his best to concentrate and control his perception.
Try your best to sharpen your senses to the highest level.
He felt that
There is some extremely subtle energy being transmitted between the three stone slabs!
It slowly circulates between the three stone slabs along some kind of vein deep in the soil.
The loop path starts from the mouth slab.
Go clockwise, passing the left eye and then the right eye, before returning to the mouth.
Complete a full cycle of the Great Heavenly Cycle.
Each time the loop completes one revolution,
The aura brightened slightly for a moment.
Then it fell silent again.
This doesn't seem like a dead end.
It's working!
Bai Sheng had his clones regroup in front of the stone slab around his left eye socket.
He decided to start with this area.
The clone probed the stone fragments into the edge of the groove.
Carefully pry the dark red stone outwards.
Hehe!
The moment the stone loosened,
A dull tremor spread from beneath my feet.
The ground of the entire wasteland trembled slightly.
"Holy crap, an earthquake?"
Bai Sheng was somewhat dazed.
The clone on the earthen slope transmitted back an overhead view.
The outline of the human face,
A faint, dark red halo flashed by.
Then everything returned to normal.
Simultaneously,
The dark red stone on the left eye socket slab turned gray.
A few seconds later,
It turned into a plain gray stone, with nothing flowing inside anymore.
Bai Sheng stared at the broken stone for a moment.
Suddenly I understand a little.
This formation doesn't look like the ones in cultivation novels.
That kind of intricate array built with spirit stones,
More like a naturally formed energy cycle system.
The dark red stone is not used for energy.
And it functions similarly to the valves in the heart.
It controls the direction and speed of energy flow between the stone slabs.
Removing one piece breaks the loop...
"The formation didn't collapse; it only trembled briefly before returning to calm."
It seems this formation has a higher margin for error than he expected!
Or rather, its design itself does not exclude human intervention!
That makes sense.
If this formation is so easily destroyed, so fragile,
How could it possibly keep running so easily?
He had his clone pick up the broken, dark red stone.
I realigned it with the groove and pressed it back in.
The stone fell back into the groove with a click.
The four symbols at the four corners of the stone slab simultaneously flashed with a very faint dark red halo.
The ink flows from the four corners toward the center along the grooves and is poured into the bottom of the groove.
The dusty, stone surface began to undulate again.
That extremely slow, internal flow is back.
The ground trembled slightly again.
It's much lighter than when it was removed.
It's like something restarted.
The clone on the earthen slope transmitted back an overhead view.
The dark red light along the edge of the face's contours flickered.
Then it disappears again.
Bai Sheng leaned back on the sofa and raised an eyebrow.
It can be put back.
This indicates that these three dark red stones are not disposable items.
It's more like a component that can be repeatedly plugged in and out.
As a result,
Bai Sheng's mind became much more active.
He then had his clones remove all the dark red stones from the three stone slabs.
Then change positions.
Move the stone from the mouth slab to the left eye.
Move the left eye to the right eye, and the right eye to the mouth...
After all the replacements were completed,
The energy flowing deep within the soil began to circulate again.
The direction of this operation is exactly the same as before.
The clone on the earthen slope transmitted back an overhead view.
The dark red light along the edges of the face flashed again.
From this perspective,
The stones themselves are no different.
Each stone may have the same internal structure and energy properties.
"What if we dig out the entire stone slab underneath?" Bai Sheng wanted to try again.
Suddenly, a slight feeling of dizziness washed over me.
His vision went black for a moment.
Bai Sheng recalled all his clones.
True essence flows back to the dantian.
After that,
A strong sense of fatigue surged through my entire body.
