Facing the threat of the dragon clan, in order to give Mo Rushi and others more confidence, Ye Zan introduced Ye Ping'an to them. However, neither Mo Ru and others nor Ye Ping'an himself could understand Ye Zan's intentions. After all, no matter how powerful a Dharma Realm Dao Lord is, even if he is an invincible being in the Dharma Appearance Realm, he cannot compete with the might of the dragon clan.
And Ye Zan was not stupid enough to think that relying on a Dharma Master like Ye Ping'an could really help the Yuqing Sect solve the Dragon Clan's troubles in the way they thought. In fact, he introduced Ye Ping'an to Mo Rushi and others just because he needed Ye Ping'an to show up. Since the two parties would meet eventually, wouldn't they still have to introduce him sooner or later
Regarding the dragon clan problem, the real solution or plan actually lies in Ye Zan's head. Ye Ping'an is just the only one who can help in Ye Zan's plan, but it is not a real support.
"Your Majesty, this disciple is getting more and more confused! Could it be that Your Majesty wants to set up some traps on Tongtian Peak and bring the Dragon Clan in?" Mo Ru asked Ye Zan with a puzzled look on his face.
Just now, Ye Zan had already said that he wanted to ask Ye Ping'an to help him make some arrangements on Tongtian Peak. But what should be arranged to block the powerful powers of the Dragon Clan? At least from Mo Rushi's perspective, it seemed like there was nothing more than a trap.
However, let alone setting any traps, just letting the dragon clan into Tongtian Peak is an extremely risky approach. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation was very powerful, and it had trapped and killed many powerful intruders in the past. However, that does not mean that the formation can still exert such power under their control.
You must know that after the catastrophe ten thousand years ago, Tongtian Peak was able to become a new restricted area, mainly because there was a problem with the operation of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation.
If we say that the formation in its normal state is a well-organized but very tough net. Then, the great formation after the catastrophe is equivalent to a tangled ball of thread, and no one can sort it out. It is precisely because of this that those powerful men who broke into Tongtian Peak still find it difficult to escape even if no one is in charge of the formation.
But now, after being sorted out by Xuanyuan Daozu, the formation has returned to its original appearance. Such a large formation is easier to control and control, but at the same time it also has higher requirements for the controller, and it is no longer the kind of thing that uses its power randomly.
In other words, today's Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Realm Suppression Formation relies more on the performance of the controller.
It's not that it's weaker now, but from a usage perspective, no matter how powerful the uncontrolled formation is, it's difficult to bring benefits to people. And if there are people who understand the formation well enough and have a level of cultivation that matches it, they will definitely be able to use the formation to exert more powerful power if they can control the formation.
However, in the current Yuqing Sect, after Daozu Xuanyuan left, even if the remaining people could master the formation, they would not be able to exert the true power of the formation at all. Therefore, in the eyes of Mo Rushi and others, the safest way is to keep the enemy out of the formation instead of bringing people in.
"Trap? No, I don't need a trap, and I don't intend to lure the dragon clan into the formation." Faced with Mo Rushi's question, Ye Zan simply shook his head, denying the other party's speculation.
For Ye Zan, no matter what the plan is, he needs to rely on this large formation to cover it up, so it is naturally impossible to let people go.
"But, since you said you won't bring in the Dragon Clan, what arrangements need to be made in this formation?" Ye Ping'an also interjected curiously.
Facing everyone's curiosity, Ye Zan also knew in his heart that if he didn't say something, he might not be able to calm everyone down. So, he bowed his hand to Ye Ping'an, then turned his eyes to Mo Rushi and others, and said: "This large formation is well-defended, but it has no means of attack and can only be beaten passively. If the Dragon Clan is really determined, I want to If we want to make our Yuqing Sect look good, we must have some means, but we must beat them to the point of pain and fear."
"However, this formation exists to protect the dojo, and everything is designed to defend against attacks by outsiders. Since the Supreme Lord also said before, we must beat the dragons into pain and fear, then with this formation , It seems that I can't meet the requirements of Tai Shang," Mo Ru said with a frown.
However, in the face of everyone's confusion and doubts, Ye Zan smiled confidently, and then said: "Indeed, the current formation is more than enough for defense, but it is almost impossible to counterattack the attacker. It’s impossible. And this is why I brought you to see Lord Yongye and why you need to make changes in the formation.”
"This..." Ye Ping'an, Mo Rushi and others found it increasingly difficult to understand Ye Zan's words.
Seeing the expressions of Ye Ping'an, Mo Rushi and others, Ye Zan said that it was not enough to just talk, he had to come up with something real. So, without waiting for anyone to ask questions again, he reached out and took out a projector and projected a picture in front of everyone's eyes.
"Is this Tongtian Peak?" Mo Rushi and others saw the scene and immediately saw that it was the Taoist temple of Yuqing Dao. Although none of them have actually seen the entire Tongtian Peak, they can still find some familiar places.
What Ye Zan showed everyone was not just the main activity area of the Yuqing Sect, but the real overall projection of Tongtian Peak. In this projection, the various peaks of Tongtian Peak, and even the five outer peaks of Yuqing Sect in the distance, are displayed in detail. In fact, to be precise, this is not the entire view of Tongtian Peak, but the entire area covered by the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation.
Back then, after the catastrophe ten thousand years ago, Tongtian Peak was blocked by a large formation, and the Yuqing Sect could only move to the Five Peaks where the outer gate was originally located. It's not that the five peaks are outside the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation, it's just that the formation has shrunk in scope due to falling into chaos.
Therefore, if someone is really in control, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation can be expanded to the five outer peaks, and the five outer peaks can also be enveloped in the formation. Of course, just like a balloon, the greater the range of the formation, the weaker the defensive capabilities will be, and vice versa.
"Come and see, this is the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation!" Ye Zan said, controlling the projector and changing the projected image. In the picture, the originally unobstructed Tongtian Peak was covered with a translucent light film.
"Your Majesty, if this formation expands to the five outer peaks, I'm afraid the defensive power will be scattered. Why not, let the disciples withdraw all the people from the five outer peaks to the main peak before the Dragon Clan arrives. In this way, we can It would be much safer to just protect Tongtian Peak with a large formation," Mo Ru suggested to Ye Zan after seeing the scene on the screen.
However, after hearing this, Ye Zan smiled slightly and said noncommittally: "I haven't said yet what arrangements are to be made. You can read on."
Following Ye Zan's words, the projected picture changed again. Black lines like spider webs appeared on the originally translucent light film.
Of all the people present, only Mo Ru knew something about the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation, so after looking at it carefully for a moment, he finally said: "Your Majesty, are these black lines the lines of the formation?"
"Yes, these are the formation veins, and these are the nodes of the veins." Ye Zan said as he continued to control the projection to change, and countless light spots lit up in the network composed of black lines.
The veins of the formation are actually circuits for energy circulation, and those nodes are of course where energy gathers. However, Ye Zan marked it with black lines and light spots on the projection screen. In actual operation, these black lines and light spots did not exist.
Mo Rushi and others looked at the projection screen and listened to Ye Zan's explanation, but they couldn't think of anything to do with the arrangement that Ye Zan said. Fortunately, they also knew that what Ye Zan wanted to show was not finished yet, so they did not interrupt to ask any more questions.
Ye Zan, on his side, did not wait for Mo Ru and others to ask, and then cooperated with the projection screen to tell his plan, saying: "This Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation is the same as most of the magic formations. , it is all about restraining the power. Whether it is a phantom formation, a trap formation, or a killing formation, only when people enter the formation will they be affected by the power of the formation. But my idea is to cooperate. Some of my specially crafted weapons release the power of the formation outwards, giving it the ability to attack outwards."
During Ye Zan's narration, strangely shaped suspended objects gradually appeared on the "big array" in the projection screen. Those suspended objects, relying on the veins of the formation, move back and forth between nodes, looking like satellites orbiting one by one.
"Weapon? What kind of weapon is this!" Mo Rushi and the others finally couldn't help but asked curiously when they saw the suspended objects moving back and forth on the formation.
"This kind of weapon, which I call the suspended turret, mainly relies on the magic power of the formation to provide energy, and can concentrate the power of the formation at one point and launch it. According to my calculations, without affecting the normal defense capabilities of the formation, at most It can maintain the energy supply for 100,000 turrets. However, time is tight after all. Even with the help of Lord Yongye, we can only build less than 10,000 turrets before the Dragon Clan arrives." Ye Zan just finished speaking. The projection screen also changed immediately, and a large number of forts appeared in the screen.
One hundred thousand forts, this number sounds scary, but Tongtian Peak itself is very large. In particular, if the formation expands to the five peaks of the outer gate, the area covered will be much larger. Spreading out 100,000 floating turrets in such a large area would actually not be as crowded as people think.
At this point, Ye Zan finally told Mo Rushi and others his plan in full. There may be some details in this, which Ye Zan did not explain further, but those are not things that Mo Rushi and others must understand.
All in all, Ye Zan's plan is to use the teachings of the "Multi-turret God Cult" as a guide to build and improve the self-defense armed system of the Yuqing Sect.
The biggest limitation of the technological weapons used by Ye Zan, including the energy particle weapons, is the energy supply. Whether it is using a nuclear battery or directly connected to a nuclear reactor, the power of the energy output determines the power of the weapon to a certain extent.
If you are only facing a soul-level enemy, just like Zhenjun Fuguang who attacked the Yuqing Sect, the power of a starship main gun is enough. However, when faced with Dharma-level or even Tongtian-level enemies, the power of the starship's main gun is far inferior.
Unable to create an energy source with stronger output power, Ye Zan decided to set up the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation.
You must know that this Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Suppressing Formation is not only able to absorb spiritual energy from space and convert it into mana, but it is also supported by the spiritual veins under Tongtian Peak. Moreover, since this large formation can block the attacks of powerful enemies, its energy output has naturally reached a very high level.
Therefore, after analyzing and calculating the large formation, Ye Zan designed this special magic weapon turret that can be combined with the large formation and can transfer the power of the large formation to the outside.
However, whether it is the refining of this suspended turret or the process of combining the turret with the formation, it is not something that Ye Zan's small Yuanshen realm can solve.
Then, Ye Zan thought of a safe night.
Although it is said that the allies of the Yuqing Sect, especially the Moyi Sect, do not lack the Dharma Prime Minister. However, this matter involves the Yuqing Sect's mountain-protecting formation, and even allies have to be wary. Then, Ye Zan was embarrassed to invite him to do coolies with Qinghong Daojun, whom he really had a good relationship with. After all, this matter is really not an easy job, it is definitely quite tiring.
Therefore, in Ye Zan's opinion, Ye Ping'an is the best person to do this no matter what aspect he considers.
At this time, Ye Ping'an had already understood Ye Zan's plan. He looked at the scene on the projection screen, turned to Ye Zan with a bad look, and said: "So, what Fellow Taoist Wuji means is that you want me to help you refine it." These forts, and then combine them with the formation? "
Helping Yu Qingzong or Ye Zan is actually a matter of course for Ye Ping'an, who has made the oath of the inner demon. Ye Ping'an doesn't know either, because Ye Zan wants to help himself, so he is not satisfied with Ye Zan or Yu Qingzong.
But the key is that Ye Ping'an noticed what Ye Zan said before about the number of forts.
In Ye Zan's plan, a complete Yuqingzong self-defense armed system requires 100,000 suspended turrets to be considered qualified. Even in the early stage, Ye Ping'an still needs to complete the refining of at least 10,000 suspended turrets before the Dragon Clan's large army comes to kill them.
Ten thousand suspended turrets, what is that concept? Even if the Dragon Clan's team will arrive in two months, Ye Ping'an still needs to refine nearly two hundred forts every day. Don't forget, it's not just refining, he also needs to cooperate with Ye Zan to combine the suspended turret with the large formation.
