Chapter 162 - Formation

Jian and Song Yu had gotten their instructions about the final task of the second area. Jian had checked the seed of Thunder Fire Spirit Fruit and then handed it to Song Yu. Then he took the scroll.

While she was checking, he took out the scroll, which contained acquiring the Fruit. 

"Thunder Fire Spirit Fruit contains two different elements. Since both components are Yang type, so their combination is possible.

For the final task, you have to use the cores you acquired to germinate a spirit fruit. You are using the roots and following the steps given below. 

First, you will arrange the cores according to the formation drawn on the back of the scroll. You will organise everything according to the figures.

After arranging events, the seed will be kept in the core of the formation. As long as you put the source, the building will be activated.

But only formation will not help germinate a Fruit because as the building is activated as six strikes, tribulation will happen. 

The first three tribulation strikes are for Fruit to absorb Thunder element and the remaining are its tribulation. 

While it would absorb the Thunder of you will have to control the Fire Qi from the first element core and supply it to the seed because both elements need to be balanced. 

You should be careful while supplying the elements because if they are not balanced, the seed will be destroyed. 

As long as you follow the formation and balance the elements, the Fruit will germinate and get the Thunder Fire Spirit Fruit. 

The formation is on the back, and a single mistake can cause the seed to burst."

After finishing reading the scroll, the first thing Jian did was curse. Because even though it was stated that the tribulation is for the fruit, Jian knew that someone has to control and supply the element to the seed.

So that person will have to face the whole tribulation, and their burden will increase. He then thought of the same plan as they did first, but the system interrupted.

"Host, you can't use a similar method to pass the tribulation."

Jian was baffled. He couldn't understand why the system said he couldn't use a similar method. The plan had always encouraged him to find a perfect solution, but this time, it is saying that he can't use it the same way. 

"Why can't I use the same method?"

"Because you are only one cycle away from completing ten processes of the cultivation, and as you complete the cycle, you will break through to Core formation realm. 

If you reach Core Formation Realm, then you will have to survive a tribulation so that it will be added to the current problem, and its strength will increase twofold.

For now, you can't handle it, and it is impossible for Song Yu because even though she could control minor tribulation, she still had performed her technique multiple times and couldn't take the six strikes tribulation.

You have to find a way to defend yourself and survive. You will also have to pay attention to balancing the elements; otherwise, the seed will be destroyed."

After hearing the system's reasoning, Jian calmed down and thought about it. After thinking for a while, he also came to the same conclusion as the system. 

Be sighed; now he has to find a way to defend the tribulation. Song Yu saw that Jian expression had become solemn after he read the scroll.

Song Yu then asked for the scroll, and Jian handed it to her. He waited for her to finish reading it. As he had expected when she finished reading, her expression was grim.

She then asked if it was possible to use a similar plan as they used in the first part of the tomb. But Jian denied it and explained the reason to her. 

She then thought about it and also came to identical conclusions as Jian. She knew her strength, so she knew that she couldn't handle the control of the tribulation. 

Her expression was also the same as Jian. They knew that they only had one way to take the tribulation head on and hope for the best. 

Jian then looked at the formation and saw that he had to arrange twenty-five beasts cores in a circle, and the centre earth element core would be kept. 

He didn't waste time and arranged it. After that, he had to do the same with the Fire element core and beasts core. So he also set them. Both arrangements were near each other, and there was some gap kept in between to put wood element core. 

When all scores were arranged, Jian started to draw the formation around them according to the drawings. The building worked by connecting all hearts in one shape, and the wood element core will act as a medium for all seats.

After half an hour, he was drawn to the formation. He once again checked and compared it with the drawing to see if anything was wrong. He also told the system to see if there is any difference between scrolls formation. 

After getting confirmation that it was correct, Jian sighed relief and sat down. Song Yu, on the other hand, focused on the formation. 

Although it wasn't an exact detailed formation, it was still intriguing. Song Yu checked every line Jian had drawn and how it is connected to all cores.

While she was looking at the formation, Jian was recovering because he had to use his Qi to draw the building; although the installation was simple, it was still very exhausting for Jian to remove.

When the formation is activated, the seed will first absorb the earth core to become a pantheon; it will absorb the wood element core. 

The area of the earth core will become empty as it will be absorbed in the seed, the tribulation will start. When the source had drunk half of the wood element core, Jian and Song Yu had to start supplying the element.

After the earth element core becomes empty, Song Yu will control the Thunder element and supply it in the formation while Jian will stand on the fire element core to provide the fire element. 

When the fire core is exhausted, they have to stop supplying the Thunder element. Another element in the seed will become unbalanced. 

The remainder wood element core is going to act as glue which holds the Thunder element and fire element together. If they are successful in controlling the part, then they will germinate the fruit very quickly. 

Because when they stop supplying the elements, all they have to do is help the tree survive the tribulation and get the fruit.

They had to do many things, so their concentration should be peaked because a single hesitation or mistake can destroy the seed.

After checking the formation, Song Yu also sat down and tried to recover to the top condition because she was the one who was going to control the Thunder element. 

So she focused on the Thunder Guiding Strike technique and recovery. With this, she will be able to supply the Thunder element very quickly. 

Jian also focused on recovering, and he practised controlling fire Qi. Although it will be a lot easier for Jian compared to Song, Yu still practised his control.

Before drawing the formation, they both have already discussed what they will do after the building is activated, and they have decided to switch the place when the fire core is absorbed. 

Jian was going to take the remaining tribulation because it would be helpful for him and prepare for the future when he breakthrough to the Core formation realm. 

After half hour, they stood up and once again confirmed their jobs when the formation would be activated. After considering it, they stood by their side. Jian was on the fire element cores side, and Song Yu stood on the earth element cores side. 

The seed was in Jian's hand as he was about to put it on the wood element core. Song Yu interrupted him. He looked up and saw that she was sweating. He immediately knew that she was nervous, so to calm her down, he asked her.

"What happened?"

"Can you check the formation once again?"

To calm her down, Jian told her to follow him, and one by one, he checked every trim line of the formation. He also showed her that each line are correctly drawn. 

When they were done checking, they stood on their designated spot, and Jian asked if he should start the process; as she nodded, Jian put the seed on top of the wood element core, and the formation was activated. 

As the seed was put on the wood element core, the formation lit up, and the beast's cores wholly disappeared. The qi started to move around the building.. Jian and Song Yu were able to feel the changes as the building was activated.
