Chapter 30: Setting Up the Great Array, New Mission
Jiang Yiming hadn’t expected that the mission to increase the sect’s fame was completed so easily.
Although defeating a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was indeed a big deal, it wasn’t like the Lingyun Sect had taken the initiative to publicize this matter, nor would the Huoyun Sect publicize such a shameful matter either.
From the looks of it, there was probably someone behind the scenes who wanted the Lingyun Sect to become the target of public criticism.
However, Jiang Yiming did not think too much about it. He would deal with it when it came anyhow.
The only thing he could do now was to increase his and the sect’s strength as soon as possible.
“System, I want to receive the reward.”
[Ding!]
[Notification]: Main mission “make a name for yourself” has been completed, the player will be rewarded with the Four Symbols Array.
[Notification]: Due to the Celestial King’s Privilege, the Four Symbols Array has been upgraded to the Thousand Changing Four Symbols Array!
With a thought, a virtual small-scale array immediately appeared in Jiang Yiming’s mind.
The array was incomparably mysterious and abstruse. The faint shadows of the four symbols appeared in the four directions.
With just a simple thought, the array changed countless times immediately, and killing intent surfaced everywhere.
In an instant, it was as if yin and yang were reversed, and the wind and clouds were surging, seemingly forming a mysterious and unpredictable world!
Jiang Yiming couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration while the information about the array poured into his mind.
The Thousand Changing Four Symbols Array was everchanging. The four symbols were virtual, and had the power that could shake the Heavens, Earth, and gods!
This formation was a top-class sect array!
It could defend against the enemy, and also had the ability to attack and trap the enemy.
The power of this array had no upper limit, which meant its power would increase as the sect’s strength increased.
If the current Lingyun Sect used this array, they could be void from the attacks of Nascent Soul Realm experts.
If Nascent Soul Realm experts were trapped by the array, they would most likely end up dead.
Even those in the Incarnation Realm would have to spend quite the effort to break the array!
“With the protection of this array, I can be at ease even if I’m not in the Lingyun Sect.” Jiang Yiming could not help but sigh in amazement.
[Ding — mission triggered]
[Type]: Main storyline
[Mission Name]: Recruit a disciple
[Mission Requirement]: The sect is quite famous now. Please recruit a new disciple as soon as possible to increase the fame of the sect.
[Mission Reward]: Heaven-turning Technique
The new mission was to recruit a disciple!
Jiang Yiming was not surprised by this mission.
After all, to strengthen a sect, the most important thing was to have enough people.
Of course, it was best to recruit a genius with outstanding talent.
Jiang Yiming had always preferred to have a lack of people over an abundance of ordinary people. If he could not find a disciple like Huang Chaoyu, then he would rather drag on with this mission.
Otherwise, if he took in a spineless and untalented person, the Lingyun sect would be in trouble.
“Forget it, I’d better go set up the array first,” As Jiang Yiming said this, with a flash, he arrived on the roof of the great hall.
The most important function of the sect protection array was to protect the sect, so it was a given the great hall would be the center of the array.
With a thought, a mystical small banner appeared in Jiang Yiming’s hand.
He waved it gently a few times, and in an instant, Heaven and Earth shook.
The earth seemed to suddenly come to life and began to shake violently.
Immediately after, the surrounding mountains, grass, trees, rivers, and houses all changed their positions.
A few huge beasts were vaguely formed, protecting the great hall.
To the east was a thousand-foot-long dragon that inhaled clouds and exhaled mist.
On the west was a ferocious tiger with a murderous aura.
As for the north and south side, they were the vermilion bird surrounded by fire and the snake-tortoise respectively.
The entire great hall emitted a vague aura.
Sometimes it was extremely powerful, and sometimes it was extremely deep. It was like an endless ocean.
Any attack was like a small stone. If thrown into this ocean, it would only cause a small splash.
“As expected of a top-class sect protecting array, how mystical!” Jiang Yiming could not help but sigh in amazement as he sensed the aura of this formation.
Even the power produced by Yan Rutian’s self-detonation back then was probably not enough to shake this array.
At this moment, even he was completely not confident that he could break this array.
With the protection of this array, even if the Huoyun Sect attacked again, they would be doomed to return empty-handed!
Just as Jiang Yiming was deep in thought, Huang Zhaoyu and the others had rushed over.
They were originally meditating in their residences when they suddenly felt Heaven and Earth shake.
For a moment, they thought that some powerful enemy had come attacking again, so they rushed out in a panic.
“Master, are the people from the Huoyun Sect here again?” Gu Lingfei frowned, his expression filled with worry.
Jiang Yiming looked at the three disciples’ nervous expressions and could not help but chuckle, “No, it’s just that I’ve set up a sect-protecting array. Look around you and you’ll know what I’m talking about.”
Hearing this, the three disciples heaved a sigh of relief and quickly scanned their surroundings.
In the next moment, the three of them were so shocked that their eyes widened.
“Master, is this the array that you set up?” Ye Yunfan stuttered as he asked.
“That’s right, this formation is called the Thousand Changing Four Symbols Array.”
“Master, this is simply too heaven-defying!”
Their eyes were bright and they were so excited that they were almost speechless.
Although they did not know what kind of array this was, they could completely feel its power.
Besides, once the formation was set up, it had changed the landscape of the mountains and rivers and become one with nature.
It was apparent this was a legendary array that could borrow the power of Heaven and Earth and form its own world!
They had only heard of a few first-rank forces that could possess such an array!
“Alright, there’s no need to be so excited. Though, with the protection of this array, you don’t have to worry too much about the people of the Huoyun Sect,” Jiang Yiming smiled and continued, “I have something to do so I’ll be heading out. The three of you, stay in the sect and cultivate seriously.”
When the three of them heard that their Master was going out, they were instantly stunned.
Jiang Yiming didn’t wait for them to speak. He took out a few magical treasures that he had obtained a few days ago from his backpack.
He gave them to his three disciples and then explained, “Keep these three magical treasures well. They are all very useful. The Thousand Miles Same Wind can transmit voices for over a thousand miles. If you need to contact me, you can use it to do so. As for the Shadow Movement, it will allow you to teleport some distance. It’s best for avoiding or escaping from the enemy. And this Purple Alms Bowl is immune to water and fire. It can be used to trap and kill enemies. With these three magical treasures as well as the array, your protection should be foolproof.”
When the three of them heard that the magical treasures in their hands had such wonderful uses, they were instantly delighted.
Following this, Jiang Yiming introduced the operation of the array to the three of them.
When the three of them heard that this array could be operated even if there was only one of them and that it was powerful enough to kill a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, they were astonished again.
They hadn’t thought that they had underestimated the array!
After Jiang Yiming finished telling them all this, he didn’t delay any further and directly turned into a streak of light, flying towards the direction of Ancient Moon City.
The three disciples behind him quickly cupped their hands and bowed, “Master, stay safe!”
