However, the next words from ng Zhenggong made Chu Ning’s expression suddenly beco extrely serious.
"After years of us persistently using the array, three months ago, we finally forced the spirit seed to appear and confird it as a Wood Spirit Seed.
This ti, the sect has arranged for you junior brothers who practice the Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique to co in, intending to force the Wood Spirit Seed to manifest once and for all.
What I didn’t ntion to you before is that, to avoid any long delays, you will directly enter the array formation area next and replace others in driving the array."
Enter the array formation area now?
Upon hearing ng Zhenggong’s words, Chu Ning, like many others, was completely stunned.
After all, what he heard from Zhuang Yunde was entirely different from what ng Zhenggong is saying now.
Just the other day, everyone was still preparing for long-term combat readiness.
"So, there’s no need to wait three to five years? And no ti to adapt or understand, we directly need to drive the array?"
Chu Ning was quite surprised by this sudden arrangent from ng Zhenggong and the others.
He’s unsure why there is this unexpected operation.
Could it be because of the Yin Demon Sect?
Since he had been here for two days, Chu Ning believed Tan Zhang should have taken the opportunity to inform ng Zhenggong and those in charge here about the Yin Demon Sect’s infiltration.
However, the sect seed to have taken no action.
It’s unclear whether ng Zhenggong and the others don’t know how to identify it and therefore cannot act, or if there’s another plan.
Of course, these are not matters for Chu Ning to worry about now.
After ng Zhenggong roughly explained these things to everyone, he organized another group of people to co in.
This group was larger than Chu Ning’s, nearly five hundred people.
In no ti, there were almost eight hundred Qi Refining Stage disciples in total present in the venue.
Most of the later arrivals looked unfamiliar, and Chu Ning guessed that they were likely Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique disciples who entered and stayed here earlier.
Sure enough, in the next mont, Chu Ning heard ng Zhenggong’s voice ring out again.
"Now all the disciples who practice the Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique have gathered here, next we will proceed to the place where the Qiankun Five Elents Array is set.
Replace the brothers and sisters of other attribute cultivation techniques, this ti driving the array is exceptionally crucial, everyone must obey orders and fully perform magic..."
At this point, ng Zhenggong’s gaze swept over the crowd of more than 800 people.
"If anyone makes a mistake halfway, don’t bla us for being unkind."
While saying this, ng Zhenggong’s tone beca a bit colder.
This made everyone look at each other; however, the expressions of newcors were more complex than others.
Those disciples who had long entered the Spirit Realm mostly looked calm, seemingly ntally prepared.
"There’s one more thing to emphasize, this ti in driving the array, you will take turns in pairs.
With no short-term replacents possible, the sect has specially prepared ample Replenishing Essence Pills for everyone.
If you feel your magical power is almost exhausted, you must imdiately switch and take the Replenishing Essence Pills to restore your magical power quickly, to prevent accidents due to magical power depletion."
After saying this, ng Zhenggong took out a jade scroll from his hand and said:
"Next, form groups according to the nas I call out, after grouping, each group will be led into the array formation area by one of us ten."
As ng Zhenggong started calling nas one by one, the 800 people were divided into four groups.
However, there were also a small number of about thirty people whose nas were not called, including those disciples who had temporarily broken through to the Sixth Layer.
But among them were also disciples from the Seventh and Eighth Layers, and even several from the Ninth Layer and Qi Refining Perfection.
The reason was unknown.
Chu Ning was assigned to the third group, and to his slight surprise, Zhuang Yunde was also in the sa group.
However, in the specific badge sequence, they were separated by a few numbers.
As they walked out, the two exchanged glances, communicating through eye contact.
As for other acquaintances of Chu Ning, none were in the sa group as him.
Tan Zhang was in one group, Mu Ling in the fourth, while Shang Zhaoxiang and Lin Lan were in the second.
This Shang Zhaoxiang had also just broken through from the Fifth Layer to the Sixth Layer, and was selected as well, though it was uncertain whether to consider it lucky or unfortunate.
Chu Ning observed the situation in each group and discovered the cultivation realms were very evenly matched, essentially pairing high-tier disciples with low-tier disciples.
Evidently, ng Zhenggong and others were very familiar with everyone’s cultivation realms.
Chu Ning followed the third group along with two Qi Refining Perfection cultivators; one was a Yan cultivator, in his early thirties, who spoke few words.
The other was a twenty-six or twenty-seven-year-old cultivator nad Liu, who chatted with everyone but with a hint of arrogance in his deanor.
Along with a disciple at the Ninth Layer, the three of them verified each individual’s identity and distributed an unusually large jade bottle to each person.
When Chu Ning opened it and took a quick look, he was sowhat surprised.
The large jade bottle contained as many as 100 Replenishing Essence Pills.
"Is this preparation for a prolonged battle?"
Chu Ning sighed slightly but naturally didn’t say much.
He just followed the Yan Cultivator, leaving the residence area and heading towards the array formation area.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Ning used secret voice transmission to ask Zhuang Yunde:
"Senior Brother Zhuang, if the Spirit Charm erupts, can we use magical artifacts or talismans to resist it?"
