Sixty-four Sky-nding Platforms were claid by various sects great and small from across the world, and ssages were sent in all directions, causing many to leave.
However, all array cultivators were retained by Lu Ye.
He had already imparted the construction and setup thods for the Sky-nding Platforms, but even so, with the cultivational accomplishnts of the Soaring Dragon's array cultivators, comprehending the subtleties therein was not easy. If left to their own devices, success was not guaranteed.
He kept them behind mainly to address their doubts during their learning process—Lu Ye had to ensure that there would be no issues with these sixty-four Sky-nding Platforms.
Three days later, all the array cultivators left dicine Valley, dispersing to various places around the world.
Lu Ye then set off for Sky Ravine, along with Yiyi and Amber.
Of the sixty-four Sky-nding Platforms, one was the main, the rest auxiliary.
The most central and primary Sky-nding Platform needed to be constructed right beneath Sky Ravine and was personally overseen by Lu Ye. In the past few days, the Three Great Overlord Sects had already sent over the materials needed for constructing the Sky-nding Platforms. Many workers were placed there in advance, only waiting for Lu Ye to take charge of the matter.
The entire Soaring Dragon World was bustling with activity.
Within the usually desolate high mountains and steep ridges, many more cultivators made their appearances, and nurous gigantic magic platforms appeared out of the ground.
For these sixty-four Sky-nding Platforms, one could say that the Soaring Dragon World fully utilized its foundation. Sects of all sizes opened their treasure vaults wide, allowing free access to all kinds of precious materials.
Only in this way could the construction progress of the Sky-nding Platforms be guaranteed.
This was the first ti Lu Ye oversaw an event of such grand scale. Even with the status of the Soaring Dragon ssiah, he felt trendous pressure. Beneath the Sky Ravine, he worked almost without rest, investing all his energy into the Sky-nding Platform, causing Yiyi to watch with heartache.
Fortunately, having received the Heaven-Earth Origin from Ye Liuli, Lu Ye was brimming with energy. Despite such rigorous labour, he showed not the slightest hint of fatigue.
He displayed his mastery in the Array Path to his heart's content.
When initially managing the array setup in dicine Valley, he did it both to repay Little Miracle Healer's dical fee and to validate his own learning. And wasn't this ti the sa? Overseeing an array of such magnificent scale was incredibly beneficial for advancing his knowledge in the Array Path.
In his mind, there was still a vast amount of information to digest, the gift from the Hundred Arrays Pagoda.
Days passed day by day, the Sky-nding Platform rose visibly higher.
Good news ca from all over the land. Under the premise of setting aside prejudices and sincerely cooperating, one Sky-nding Platform after another was successfully constructed. In less than half a month, only the central Sky-nding Platform that Lu Ye was responsible for remained.
In the anti, the Blood World and the Blood Race had not made any moves.
Leaving aside the Blood World for now, with the astonishing strike Lu Ye had delivered, the dependence of the Blood World on the Soaring Dragon had weakened, consequently making it exceedingly difficult for the Blood Race to descend upon the Soaring Dragon.
The last ti there was the Sky Ravine Sect's Blood River Great Array to bridge them, but this ti, there was no one capable of leading them here.
Even if they were left to their own devices, it would not be easy for the Blood Race to descend upon the Soaring Dragon in a short period. Therefore, there was no need to worry about the threat from the Blood Race for the ti being.
On this day, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was clear and blue.
Below the Sky Ravine, seated atop a hundred-foot-tall Sky-nding Platform, was Lu Ye.
This central Sky-nding Platform was finally completed the day before. Everything was ready, awaiting the activation of the array's power.
All across the lands, figures were seated on every Sky-nding Platform, at least two or three people, and up to four or five. Each one was at Cloud River Level 9, their expressions solemn and devout, their eyes closed in diation, ensuring they were in the best possible state.
In a mont, Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes as his audio transmission stone vibrated in his hand.
He listened to the audio transmission stone by his ear, then put it away and stood up.
The ti had co!
He looked up at the enormous Sky Ravine overhead and muttered softly, "Lend your strength once more!"
As the words fell, he stepped out, flashing to the central position of the Sky-nding Platform. Spirit force surged around him, pouring wildly into the Sky-nding Platform.
It was as if a pebble had been thrown into a placid lake, with him at the heart, ripples spread outwards.
With the expansion of the ripples, lines one by one lit up; they were Dao Runes inscribed with the array's patterns on the Sky-nding Platform. The luminance started beneath his feet, like a blaze in the prairie, quickly spreading to the surroundings, and then downward.
In the distance, nurous cultivators looked on, witnessing the complicated lines on the entire Sky-nding Platform surface beco visible and brightly lit, and they couldn't help but cheer.
They were unsure whether the subsequent developnts would go smoothly, but just from what was in front of them, today's event had a very promising start.
As the glow of the entire Sky-nding Platform lit up, a large quantity of Spirit Stones placed inside were rapidly consud.
So while the scene was magnificent, the consumption was not severe for Lu Ye; the power he was activating was at most a prir, with the real energy consumption coming from those Spirit Stones pre-placed inside the Sky-nding Platform.
"Thump!"
A muffled sound suddenly emanated from the Sky-nding Platform, akin to a giant heart beating once. When the sounds rang out, the many watching cultivators couldn't help changing their expressions slightly, instinctively covering their chests with their hands.
With that sound's ergence, an invisible force field spread rapidly from the Sky-nding Platform's center in all directions, in an instant covering thousands of miles...
On the Sky-nding Platform in Ganzhou, led by Monk Guangjing, several monks at Cloud River Level 9 sat with closed eyes, rosaries flowing through their fingers, chanting sutras.
When that invisible force resonated through platform after platform and spread here, Monk Guangjing suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "It has begun!"
The well-prepared monks imdiately exerted their power, pouring it into the Sky-nding Platform beneath them.
This Sky-nding Platform in Ganzhou quickly underwent the sa changes as the one where Lu Ye was located.
"It has begun!"
On the Sky-nding Platform in Lizhou, Yuen Changcun shouted lowly, and the experts from Haoran Academy simultaneously activated their power.
"Begin!"
"Begin!"
...
The cultivators scattered across the Soaring Dragon World, each manning a Sky-nding Platform, soon perceived the signal and collectively incited the might of the Formations within their platforms.
Suddenly, one-by-one, invisible force fields, emanating from the platforms, began to relentlessly expand in all directions.
Initially, the spreading frequencies varied, as not every cultivator activated the Sky-nding Platform at the sa ti.
But as ti elapsed, those invisible force fields seed to resonate with each other in a mysterious manner. In rely the ti it took for one incense stick to burn, all the force fields had expanded in a perfectly synchronized harmony.
And at the intersecting crossroads of these invisible fields, there erged an intricate major array that enshrouded the entire Soaring Dragon World.
These changes went largely unnoticed by others, but Lu Ye, who presided over the core Sky-nding Platform, saw it all as clear as day.
He took a deep breath. Success or failure hinged upon this very mont.
Even after doing all he could, anxiety was inevitable as the critical juncture approached.
"Array, rise!"
Atop the Sky-nding Platform, Lu Ye bellowed the command.
With one word, heaven and earth resonated with a hum!
Lu Ye's spirit ascended to an unimaginable height once again, yet this feeling differed from when he donned the Dragon Throne. Donning the Dragon Throne, he suddenly gained an extrely powerful external assistance that transcended his own limits, allowing him to view everything around him with a state of mind far beyond his own foundation.
This ti, the enhancent was even more terrifying.
For a fleeting mont, Lu Ye's spirit seed to blanket the entire Soaring Dragon World, sensing the location of each and every Sky-nding Platform with clarity.
All was silent, ti flowing soundlessly through his consciousness; the whole world appeared at a standstill.
But he knew ti had not stopped; it was his thinking that had transcended the constraints of heaven and earth.
While his power certainly had not reached such an inconceivable extent, he owed this capacity to Ye Liuli's final gift.
She had bestowed upon Lu Ye the Origin of this realm.
That wondrous power not only filled the void within Lu Ye himself, reviving him from near-death, but also enabled him to mobilize the forces of this world, to the extent of his reach!
If the power of the heavens and the earth were likened to a sword, then the Origin that Ye Liuli granted Lu Ye was the hilt that grasped the blade!
Holding the hilt of this heavenly and earthly sword, he wielded the power of this world.
Before the construction of the Sky-nding Platforms, many cultivators in the Soaring Dragon World shared a question: with such an astounding array covering the entire world, even divided into sixty-four platforms, who could possibly activate it?
Not even a reborn Divine Sea Realm cultivator could manage such a feat.
Indeed, the Divine Sea Realm cultivators lacked such capability.
Lu Ye had it!
Strictly speaking, only Lu Ye, who was within this realm, possessed such ability.
When the sword of the Soaring Dragon World, the heaven and earth, was wielded, the entire domain humd in response.
Lu Ye returned to his senses, looking up at the Sky Ravine above, his sharp gaze seeming to pierce the barrier between two worlds, seeing the Blood World's location.
"Begone!" A roar, filled with the rage of heaven and earth, traversed the domain.
As the voice fell, the entire Soaring Dragon World violently shook.
The invisible fields of the intricate major array, in this instance, mobilized the tendency of heaven and earth, transforming into a formless shockwave that thundered into the Sky Ravine.
Boom...
The muffled sound erupted deep within the hearts of all beings.
In that instant, the Soaring Dragon World seed to co alive, fiercely shaking itself off.
For a ti, throughout the realm, the land quaked and mountains trembled.
The common people, oblivious to the truth, prostrated in droves, praying for divine protection.
Although the cultivators understood what was happening, they hadn't anticipated such a grand disturbance.
Before they could recover their wits, another humming arrived.
The heavens and earth quivered.
The third ti...
The fourth ti...
As if doomsday had co, the Soaring Dragon World underwent strange transformations, silent volcanoes erupted, great rivers and seas churned with waves, and over the vast ocean, a tsunami spanned the sky.
Atop the core Sky-nding Platform, Lu Ye's gaze was fixated on the sprawling Sky Ravine, relentlessly powering the major array, manipulating the tendency of heaven and earth.
His mood was more tense and solemn than ever before.
Because by wielding the forces of heaven and earth to counter the Blood World's influence, the pressure he bore was montarily set aside. If he could not achieve a swift victory, the entire Soaring Dragon would face massive catastrophe. Whether the Blood World could be fended off was uncertain, but the Soaring Dragon would surely be destroyed first.
