Chapter 373 Test!

Upon seeing the palace outside the Pu tribe's royal city, they found that two Holy Hou tribe servants were diligently guarding it.

Yin Xun's initial anxiety vanished completely, like a great flood dissipating.

If they weren't from the same ancestor, Yin Xun would have loved to curse Yin Hou's ancestors until they were fuming.

Why the hell aren't you answering your messages?

Whether you know it or not, this matter has already been reported to the clan leader.

On a grander scale, this concerns the future succession of the Holy Hou clan.

Yin Xun rushed into the palace of the Pu Clan royal court like a gust of wind.

The golden moo and golden crocodile guarding the palace were startled when they saw the falling figure clearly.

"Lord Yin Xun, what brings you here!"

"Why am I here?"

Yin Xun laughed angrily, "I'm so bored."

Sensing the aura emanating from Yin Xun, Jin Mou and Jin E trembled and knelt down involuntarily.

At this moment, Yin Xun rushed into the palace and finally realized that something was wrong with the aura emanating from the Empress.

"What's wrong with the Silver Queen? Why isn't she setting up any formations for cultivation?"

Based on Yin Xun's understanding of Yin Hou, this guy, as an array master, would set up a small array for himself both when cultivating within the clan and when cultivating outside.

Not only is there no formation set up now, but his aura is also very strange, as if he has fallen into silence.

"what happened?"

Before Jin Mou and the other could respond, Yin Xun's voice grew cold.

"Reporting to Lord Yin Xun, my master has obtained a high-level array inheritance!"

Jin Mou quickly gave an explanation.

"A fourth-order formation can be combined to form a sixth-order grand formation!"

"Or did you obtain it from the humans?"

If Yin Xun didn't know that servants couldn't lie, he would have liked to grab the two servants in front of him by the ears and make them listen to what he was saying.

"Yes, after our master received the inheritance from the Giant Mountain Range, he went into seclusion, and we dared not awaken him."

At this moment, Jin Mou and the other person realized why Yin Xun had appeared.

It seems they can no longer contact their owner.

But they were wronged too.

"Lord Yin Xun, the master received the inheritance too hastily this time, and he was in a hurry to go into seclusion, so he didn't have time to give us the communication jade tablet."

"Yes, we didn't dare to pry into Master's seclusion. We thought he had contacted the adults while he was in seclusion."

Jin Mou and Jin E spoke up. As servants, they could help their masters with some trivial matters, and receiving messages was one of their duties.

However, the master possessed some communication jade tokens that were beyond their reach.

After figuring out what had happened, Yin Xun breathed a long sigh of relief.

What a scare! I was almost scared to death.

Yin Xun's divine sense entered the palace, sensing the Empress's cultivation. Unfortunately, after sensing for a long time, he gained nothing. Since he couldn't touch the Empress's divine sense too much, he had no choice but to withdraw it.

Then he wondered what kind of array inheritance it must be, since even a sixth-order array master like Silver Queen had fallen into silence.

If a fourth order can be combined to form a sixth order, wouldn't a fifth order be combined to form a seventh order?

Yin Xun didn't know much about formations, but he had never heard of low-level formations forming high-level formations.

"We don't know anything about the inheritance of the formation either. We heard from the Pu people that this great formation was built by a group of human ants."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Xun was taken aback.

He really wanted to grab his own ears so he could hear clearly what he was hearing.

He was not from a small mountain tribe, but a member of the Holy Hou tribe, one of the alliance tribes of the ancient city of Tu Shang. He was a sixth-level martial artist who had cultivated for three thousand years. He was a know-it-all and a fiery-eyed person who could go in and out of water and fire, handle business for the alliance, and had ventured out to various tribes in the Great Wilderness.

A bunch of ants can build a sixth-order array? What do they take a sixth-order array master for?

"If you wish to learn more, you can summon the Pu Clan to inquire. They also have a fifth-tier array master who has received the inheritance and is currently in deep comprehension. They understand arrays better."

"After my master arrived, he searched the souls of the Pu Clan warriors before leading us to obtain the array inheritance."

Yin Xun initially suspected that the two servants were talking nonsense, but then he heard that someone from the Pu clan had also accepted the inheritance.

That won't do; this person must be taken back to the tribe.

What kind of status does the Pu clan have that allows them to inherit the same legacy as the Holy Hou clan?

Regardless of whether the formation is one that even ants could build, that the Silver Queen could comprehend, or that had fallen into silence, as the two servants claimed, the mere Pu Clan dares to meddle with.

"Then let's meet."

Then, Yin Xun enveloped his body, transforming into an upright, human-like form.

As for the body hair, it doesn't matter; scales and fur are common among various races in the Great Wilderness.

"I will go and summon Prince Pu right away."

Jin Mou soared through the air towards the direction of the Pu Clan's royal palace.

When Pu Wang heard that another sixth-tier expert had arrived, he was overjoyed, wondering if his efforts had finally earned the recognition of the distinguished guest from Tu Shang Ancient City.

He hurriedly ordered his clansmen to prepare a banquet, and then led the royal court officials to the temporary palace outside the capital.

"The chieftain of the Pu tribe greets Your Excellency."

In another hall of the palace, Prince Pu, accompanied by more than a dozen royal officials, bowed to Yin Xun.

Among these dozen or so nobles, Lord Qingmu was one of them, and he bowed to Yin Xun along with the others.

Then, a large number of servants came in and began to set out the prepared banquet.

Yin Xun wasn't very interested in the banquet prepared by Prince Pu and went straight to the point.

Gray Uncle was still unconscious when he was carried over.

Yaoyuebo and Shanyangbo, who had previously visited the Juyue Mountains, were also subjected to soul searches by Yin Xun.

Thankfully, Uncle Shenyan wasn't there, otherwise he would have been patted on the head by Yin Xun too.

Yin Xun was stunned after his soul was searched.

The crocodile servants were not lying after all; the human ants of the Giant Mountain Range had indeed gained the ability to stir up the sea.

These ants can create a sixth-order formation using a fourth-order formation. If the Silver Queen, a sixth-order formation master in her clan, were to comprehend the inheritance, wouldn't that be...?

The current crisis facing the Holy Hou Clan is precisely the lack of successors!
With the protection of a seventh-order grand formation, the lineage can still be preserved.

No, do a bunch of human ants even deserve to cultivate such a formation inheritance?
They should all be captured and brought back to the Holy Hou tribe, becoming slaves of the Holy Hou tribe just like the Crocodile tribe.

For a slave race to become a seventh-tier holy race, the ancestors of these humans must have been incredibly lucky.

The banquet became somewhat quiet and cold because Yin Xun remained silent, and Pu Wang's awkward smile was plastered on his face.

Uncle Qingmu also had a smile on his face, holding his wine cup neither too high nor too low, but in his heart he was wondering what this guy from Tushang Ancient City was up to.

The banquet ended quickly, mainly because there was no atmosphere. Prince Pu didn't dare to ask, and he couldn't figure out what the distinguished guest was thinking.

As for the other Pu clan members, they could only go with the flow and awkwardly laugh together.

……

The Juyue Mountains.

While overseeing the construction of the grand formation in the mountains, Shen Can received a message from his clone, Uncle Qingmu, at the same time.

Warriors have arrived at Tu Shang Ancient City again, still focused on the great formation built by the human race.

At the banquet of the King of Pu, the martial artists from the ancient city of Tu Shang were all focused on Soul Searching, which was clearly their attention to the formation.

At this moment, Shen Can wondered if the 'divine healing' he had given the sixth-level array master was insufficient, which was why the master had sent a message to his clan.

Afterwards, Shen Can suppressed his thoughts and sent a message to his Beast King disciples, Lu Zhen, Weaver Girl, and others.

"Master."

“Temple”.

On a hilltop, several figures rapidly approached from all directions.

"Re-examine the Star Array and check the array's foundation inventory."

"Master, is there an external force attacking the formation?"

The ferret king raised its little head, its purple eyes sparkling with intelligence.

"It's possible."

Upon hearing this, the others perked up.

Even at the very beginning of establishing the great formation, everyone anticipated that it would attract unwanted attention.

After all, such a large formation, with towering pillars of starlight standing like a forest, makes the surrounding area brightly lit, especially at night.

It's impossible not to attract attention.

Lu Zhen spoke up, "Back at the temple, while we were building the second great array, we were also accumulating the array bases for the first great array. The backup array bases for each great array average more than a hundred pieces. I will have someone recount them immediately."

Yan Chong continued, "Then I will reorganize the artisans of the protective camp and recall all those who are visiting relatives or resting, to prepare for maintaining the operation of the formation during wartime."

Shen Can nodded and looked at Yan Zeng, "Speed ​​up the construction of the second major formation."

Yan nodded and accepted the order.

After arranging the operation and construction of the formation, Shen Can returned to the Alliance's main city, the Temple of Heroes, and notified the Alliance Chief, Volcano. Soon, the communication tower in the Alliance's main city began operating rapidly, its light shining brightly.

With the message relayed, the alliance's decree quickly spread throughout the four states of Yong, Dai, Yun, and Mu.

All allied tribes, upon receiving the decree, harvested grains, gathered and raised livestock, and migrated as a whole to the Juyue Mountains.

Those who had long journeys and difficulties in migrating should disperse and hide in place.

The four smelting workshops of the alliance were simultaneously relocated to the Giant Mountain Range.

Not all tribes were affected by the relocation; those that moved were those that were farther away from the Giant Mountain Range. The tribes that were closer to the mountain range had already been covered by the Giant Mountain Formation.

However, the entire alliance was in an uproar upon the issuance of this edict.

For decades since its establishment, the alliance has been somewhat chaotic at the beginning, but in subsequent battles against alien races, it has consistently dominated the surrounding alien races.

They wiped out the earthworms and ginger worms, and drove away the roosters; every battle was a resounding victory.

But now, the alliance has suddenly issued an edict to relocate the entire clan into the Juyue Mountains. What happened?
In a short time, all sorts of rumors and gossip emerged from various places.

Some say the alliance has encountered a formidable enemy, who must have set their sights on the great formation on Mount Juyue and is trying to seize it.

"Damn aliens, they're stealing from us humans again!"

……

"With such dazzling starlight every day, how could it not attract attention? Sooner or later, this calamity would come!"

"Going to Juyue is suicide; they're trying to drag us down with them."

……

"Damn it, it must be that the alien race doesn't want us to live in peace. Once my kid graduates from the martial arts academy, he must kill a few more aliens for his father to vent my anger."

"What a pity, such good land, just ripened."

"It's no pity. We can continue planting after we drive away the alien races and come back."

"Damn it, if I knew who was trying to stop us from farming, I would twist their head off."

"Can you turn it?"

"Try it even if you can't twist it. At worst, you'll get his mother's blood all over you."

……

After the Alliance decree was issued, the various departments began to relocate.

However, due to differences in clan territory and resources, the speed of relocation naturally varied.

The alliance also dispatched giant tortoises, flying boats, warships, tanks, and even soldiers to help the various units relocate.

The Juyue Mountains are a vast area. Although there are many mountains, there are also many river valleys, so there is still more than enough space for the human race from the four states to migrate in.

Moreover, this migration only involves areas that are relatively far away.

A side hall of the Alliance's main hall.

"Alliance Leader, my people have sent me a message saying that there are all sorts of rumors circulating within the alliance. They've heard a lot of slanderous things about our alliance while we were migrating."

Lord Jusha arrived near the volcano. As an elder of the Alliance Chief's staff, he usually rested in his mansion in the city when he had nothing to do. He could come or not come as he pleased.

"Speaking of which, if it weren't for the establishment of the alliance, how could my Giant Mountain Human Race have achieved such a prosperous state over the years?"

Besides, there's no such thing as getting all the benefits without getting hurt. They've had their fill, and now that they're in danger, they're starting to blame the league. It seems the league has been too lenient with some people all these years.

"Alliance Leader, I suggest that we establish an internal intelligence department within the alliance. This is not to monitor our own tribes, but to investigate those who are taking advantage of the alliance but have ulterior motives."

When the old master Sha Wanli said this, several elders in the side hall were taken aback.

Sha Wanli, you're a fake fifth-tier player, you're being way too ambitious.

Sha Wanli didn't pay attention to the expressions of others; the idea came from an old guy who had retired from the Alliance.

By the way, this idea has absolutely nothing to do with his son, Sha Changyun, a fifth-order early-stage beast-form martial artist.

Inside the side hall, there was also a fire pit.

Now that such a big thing has happened in the league, he has to stay by Volcano's side.

As Sha Wanli said, the alliance has had a smooth run of success over the years.

Led by the Blazing Flame, they used more advanced magical artifacts to drive the surrounding alien races into a chaotic retreat.

This sudden relocation of four states has had a significant impact, causing widespread anxiety and prompting many to subconsciously speculate that something major has happened.

At this time, it's inevitable that many strange thoughts will arise.

Don't think that just because a martial artist is weak, they have no ambition. Some people just haven't had the chance yet.

“First, a group of soldiers will be drawn from the military palace to patrol the migration route. Anyone who causes trouble or creates chaos during the migration will be punished along with their entire clan.”

……

Valhalla.

Since the Alliance issued the decree, Shen Can, as the temple's chief priest, has been appearing at the Temple of Heroes every day, leading the priests in morning and evening sacrifices.

As for the migration, it was entirely handled by the Alliance.

Relocating the Alliance's human race is also a precautionary measure.

Over the years, the alliance has been recuperating and growing, and its population, food, and meat production have all doubled. Even martial arts training is thriving.

Such a good situation, we really can't afford to gamble.

Migration might only result in the loss of some food, but if half the population were wiped out, the alliance's decades of efforts to rebuild and recover would be completely destroyed.

Despite having 40 million rune artisans and tens of millions of other artisans, the more than one billion people in the four states are one of the foundations of the alliance.

Looking from the Temple of Heroes towards the Alliance capital, one can see figures hurrying back and forth, various airships constantly moving about, and everyone is busy.

……

To the northeast of the Juyue Mountains.

Yin Xun stood on an inconspicuous hill, gazing at the starlight stretching across the giant mountain, a look of awe involuntarily appearing in his eyes.

He had traveled extensively and encountered many races, including the protective formations of various clans.

I have never seen such a massive and majestic formation before.

Is this even a formation anymore?!

The memories of several fifth-tier juniors of the Pu Clan told him that such a massive and majestic formation was actually built by a group of ant-like humans.

If it weren't for the soul search and witnessing the formation with his own eyes, Yin Xun wouldn't have believed it was real.

These ants are no longer ants, but a group of treasures.

Even if the Silver Queen awakens after comprehending the array's inheritance, she will still need a group of people like this.

Not to mention, the fact that such an array could be built means that there is an array master among the human race who is no weaker than the Silver Queen.

Before arriving, Yin Xun went to great lengths to confirm the situation within the Juyue Mountains.

The source energy of this area was absorbed by the underground caves in the mountains as early as eight thousand years ago.

As a result, the source energy here can barely give birth to a few fifth-tier juniors.

In other words, this sixth-order grand formation was most likely built by a fifth-order human leading a group of people with even lower strength.

Arrest them all, make sure they are all taken; all the humans here should belong to his Holy Hou clan.

What Xuan Bird? That's something a small clan like the Pu Clan worries about.

Then, Yin Xun disappeared from his spot, appearing repeatedly in different directions of the great formation, trying to find its weaknesses.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

When he arrived at the eastern part of the Giant Mountain Range again, looking at the great array that was shimmering with starlight, he finally decided to test the power of the array himself.

Only after testing the power of the formation can we find a way to summon strong individuals from within the clan to break through the formation and capture all the humans inside.

boom!
Yin Xun made his move.

A powerful aura surged forth, and countless runes of magic emerged from his body, forming concentric circles.

Each of the runes that lit up resembled a small star, slowly revolving around his main body.

As Yin Xun made his move, the runes around him hummed, as if a priest were chanting an incantation, and burst forth with dazzling light.

In an instant, these rotating runes formed a gigantic silver beast.

In an instant, the silver beast crashed into the great formation, its silver light exploding like stars bursting apart.

Boom!

The silver beast collided with the great formation, and the energy momentarily stagnated.

Then, the star array that was struck lit up with a dazzling light, and the power of stars from all directions flowed down from the silver pillars like rivers flowing into the sea.

The starlight, like the Milky Way flowing backwards, engulfed the enormous silver beast within it.

After the attack, energy began to erupt, engulfing large swathes of the void and making it impossible to look directly at it.

Yin Xun retreated repeatedly, only to see the enormous array shaking for tens of thousands of miles.

The tremors that stretched for tens of thousands of miles were like tiny ripples on the water to the vast array that stretched as far as the eye could see.

A beam of starlight traveled from the point of impact towards a more distant part of the formation, causing the starlight pillars within the formation to sway and shake.

……

Shen Can quickly received the news that the great formation had been attacked, and he immediately confirmed that it was the newly arrived sixth-level expert from Tu Shang Ancient City who had made the move.

But by the time he arrived at the location where the formation had been attacked, the creature had already vanished without a trace.
