Chapter 1191 Your idea is not wrong...

"There seems to be something wrong with your formation!"

Ji Liuli, standing in the center of the formation, raised his head and said angrily, "What's wrong with it? How dare you question my formation?"

Feng Tingyu stood on the array diagram, carefully scanning the entire diagram, and then said, "According to the predictions of your array, an enemy should have just delivered himself into my hands, but he didn't."

Ji Liuli frowned and said, "Could it be that you've made a mistake?"

"No way! I can already feel what that thing looks like. It should be a small, white thing, and it's pretty tough. If we play with it slowly, we can take it for a few days." Feng Chuiyu said, gesturing as he spoke.

Ji Liuli frowned slightly and said, "That shouldn't be the case! Although this formation structure is very complex, I'm already very familiar with its basic framework. I just tested it. Look..."

Ji Liuli shot out a beam of Dao power into the array diagram, which instantly transformed into hundreds of streams of light. These streams flowed along the array's patterns, intersecting, dodging, merging, and splitting according to extremely complex rules. After a series of dazzling transformations, they merged back into a single point of radiance at the array's core, creating a wondrous and complex aesthetic.

"Look, there's nothing wrong with the Heavenly Secret Formation itself. Could it be something outside the formation?"

The formation's extremely complex changes could happen in the blink of an eye. But Feng Tingyu pointed to a section of the formation and said, "The structure here is too complex. Although it can eliminate some erroneous causal interference, perhaps precisely because of this, it will also make the Heavenly Mystery Formation overly sensitive, thus being affected or even suppressed by some higher-level causal influences."

As Ji Liuli pondered, he said, "But if the formation is not sensitive, it will miss those tiny but meaningful causes and effects, thus making it impossible to predict them."

"What if we could take both into account? The high-level ones are nothing more than immortal power. Let's create a sub-array to exclude the known types of immortal power, like this..."

Countless points of light shot out from various parts of Feng Tingyu's body, forming all sorts of numbers and formulas in the air, constantly spinning, some even somersaulting.

Ji Liuli hurriedly said, "Stop! You're making my eyes blurry. I told you before not to use this multi-point, dispersed deployment method. Other people's way of thinking is different from yours..."

“Uh…sometimes I can’t control them either…” Feng Tingyu tried to adjust, but many formulas and numbers still flew around like wild horses.

Only she knew that the symbols above her head and on her back were actually one entity. The two rows of symbols on her chest, however, were completely unrelated. It was already quite incredible that Ji Liuli could see all the thousands of symbols and numbers floating around her and then rearrange them into meaningful equations according to the rules.

Just as Feng Tingyu was trying to adjust, suddenly, with a loud slap, a large hand landed on her buttocks, followed by Wei Yuan's voice from behind: "Did you miss me?"

With that slap, half of the fluttering symbols and numbers were instantly extinguished!

Feng Tingyu turned around angrily and said, "You interrupted my train of thought!"

"Ah, I..." Wei Yuan was momentarily confused.

Feng Tingyu reached out and pulled Wei Yuan close, burying his head in her chest, and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that. We missed you too..."

Feng Tingyu may look petite, but she is actually incredibly strong. With Wei Yuan's current physical strength, he was caught off guard and was easily pinned down and kneaded by her. Naturally, he didn't struggle much.

At this moment, Ji Liuli said quietly, "You two, are you pretending I don't exist?"

Wei Yuan gasped in surprise. He hadn't seen Ji Liuli at all, because she had merged with the formation; unless one looked specifically, one simply couldn't see her. Wei Yuan was quite weak at the moment, and his senses weren't very sharp, so he hadn't noticed her either.

But Feng Tingyu wouldn't tolerate Ji Liuli's behavior, saying, "Little kid, go away!"

Ji Liuli was furious and said, "Who's a child? Where is the child?"

"Anyway, they didn't say your age..." Feng Tingyu sized up Ji Liuli's figure. This truly enraged Ji Liuli, who said coldly, "It seems it's been a long time since I taught you a lesson. You've forgotten the principle that on the path of immortality, the strong are respected..."

Feng Tingyu immediately unleashed a cloud of black mist, enveloping himself and Wei Yuan within it, and said, "I'll spar with you again tomorrow..."

Ji Liuli was no stranger to Feng Tingyu's Dharma form. He sneered and said, "Others can't do anything to your mental barrier, so why should I be afraid of it! Watch how I break it! I..."

Ji Liuli's voice suddenly froze! Originally, Feng Tingyu's Dharma form black mist could isolate the five senses and divine thoughts, but it was not absolute. There were still ways to break it, and Ji Liuli had several formations that could be broken.

However, as soon as she set up the formation, she discovered that all the surrounding spiritual energy had been locked by Feng Tingyu. Without breaking these locks, she couldn't set up the formation at all. In fact, each lock was extremely simple, similar to calculating eighteen divided by seven, but the problem was that Feng Tingyu had set up a full ten thousand locks!

Ji Liuli was so angry that her eyes were spitting fire. This was a typical competition that only focused on computing power and not algorithms, which was the kind of competition she hated the most.

However, since the two are now at the same level and Feng Tingyu has the advantage, Ji Liuli has no choice but to honestly unlock and set up the formation. Three breaths later, her eyes shot out beams of blue light, sweeping away Feng Tingyu's black mist.

Sure enough, the fog was empty; the two had long since vanished.

Ji Liuli paused for a moment, snorted, and remained silent, sitting there intently calculating the formation.

As the sun rose and set, it was already this time of day the next day. Suddenly, a black mist spread out from the spot, and Wei Yuan emerged from it. Seeing that Ji Liuli was still in the same posture, unchanged, Wei Yuan felt a chill in his heart, knowing that something terrible was about to happen.

Ji Liuli didn't even look up, and said indifferently, "So I'm already at the end of the line, is that right?"

"How is this possible? I really didn't know you were there just now..."

Ji Liuli coldly said, "I don't want to hear your explanation. Come with me!"

Wei Yuan hesitated, then followed.

In a secluded and eerie space, Ji Liuli's voice echoed: "You all think I can squeeze something out of me no matter what, so you put me last, right? If that's really what you think, then congratulations, you're right..."

……

Wei Yuan sat in his study in his immortal abode, sipping nourishing medicinal tea while reviewing the official documents that had just been delivered. In truth, the vast majority of these documents didn't need to be written down; they were already processed through the bustling world of the myriad realms. Therefore, those that were written down were either special matters or exceptionally important issues.

What Wei Yuan was holding was the gift that Yu Zhizhuo had just sent over to invite him to the opening ceremony of the new loom.

According to Yu Zhizhuo, this loom is a groundbreaking product, a watershed between two eras, and the guiding star that ignites the spiritual energy industry.

Hearing Yu Zhizhuo speak in such a mysterious and profound way, Wei Yuan also became interested. If he remembered correctly, after the first brocade workshop was built, Wei Yuan had decimated Ningxi's brocade industry in just over a year, and it was eventually uprooted.

Many of the original brocade craftsmen either moved to Qingming and were able to continue their original trade; or if they stayed in the same place, they could only work as waiters in the canteen or drive taxis on the street.

Why is there a loom now? In Wei Yuan's memory, Qingming already had many weaving workshops. Cloth was as plentiful as grain, so plentiful that there was nowhere to store it, so plentiful that there was nothing to sell, so plentiful that it could be used to pave the ground.

So how could a loom have such great significance?
