Chapter 858 - Finally Ready

Qia was also there with Dian and Srevil, the two other Earth Peak-level Formation Masters. Of course, they were way older than Qia by a huge margin. Nevertheless, they didn't care. What they've seen so far in the Formation Hall had changed everything they knew about formations, so they looked more like kids every single day in there.

In any case, it had just been two weeks and a few since they joined the sect. Even if they had the abilities, it would take a lot more time for them to understand the usage of all the runes of the circuitry formations. Rean didn't mind it, though. He still had a lot of time to teach them and the other disciples. "Alright, let's give it another shot. Srevil, turn on the communication formation and let's see what happens."

Srevil couldn't build those formations by himself, but he already understood how to use them. "Alright, here we go."

The formation soon turned on as the antenna above the roof shone with a blue light. If one paid attention to Spiritual Sense, they would be able to tell that Water Element was being gathered around it. Rean's new long-distance transmitter worked a bit similarly to his half-moon brooches. It used the specific reading of an element to send a signal that could be received by another device made with the same elemental reading. 

This was a fusion of Blacksmithing, Talismans, and Formations in one mechanism. Unlike the Spiritual Smartphones, it didn't use Rean's or anyone else's Elements, though. In the Spiritual Smartphones or the half-moon brooches, to be more specific, only the element of the user could be used. Otherwise, it wouldn't work.

That's where blacksmithing came into play. Rean could create equipment that could gather elements on its own. Using this method, Rean devised a specific forging process that would always gather the Water Element with the same reading. That way, anyone would be able to use it.

"Good! It seems like it is working." Rean couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. "Srevil, try to send a thought through the communication formation."

That was the part where the knowledge of Talismans was used. Obviously, the method the Thoughts Transmission Talisman used came into play. Of course, only the principles were used here. After all, Talismans disappeared as soon as a message was sent. Rean's communication device obviously didn't have that issue.

Suddenly, Qia noticed another device on the table shining with blue light. Sure enough, that was a Spiritual Smartphone that Rean crafted with the help of the Blacksmith Hall's disciples. After all, the blacksmiths would need to know how to make them in the future to make the devices more widespread.

Qia quickly took out the Spiritual Smartphone from the table and used her Spiritual Sense to check if there was any message inside. 'Can you hear me?'

Qia nodded and used her Spiritual Sense to answer, responding, 'Yes, I can. There's a lot of interference, though.'

The communication system then turned off as everyone laughed. "Interference or not, it definitely works! Good job, everyone. This equipment will change the world!"

Rean agreed with the disciples there. "True. However, I still need to improve the transmission of the signals. The antenna is a lot more powerful, so the excess Spiritual Energy might be causing the interference."

Dian immediately came up with an idea. "I do know of a formation used to stabilize chaotic energy. It's normally used near places with volcanoes, storms, and things like that. Do you think it could work?"

"There is only one way to know!" Rean answered straight away. Sure enough, it was a lot better when many heads worked together. "The Spiritual Smartphone doesn't use too much Spiritual Energy nor does it gather too much element. Thanks to that, it doesn't have interference in the messages it sends back to the antenna. We just have to fix the antenna itself."

Rean then looked at the lower-level disciples before saying, "You guys already understand that it's impossible for you to craft the runes inside the Spiritual Smartphones at your level. In fact, it's hard for me as well. The runes are just too small. That's why I put you to work on the Minuscule Rune Carving Circuitry Equipment."

Qia already knew of the Minuscule Rune Carving Device. It was exactly the same thing she and Rean were working on before Sunkan Planet exploded. Naturally, they had all the blueprints in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, so they only needed to rebuild them. Rean left that task for the Formation Masters who were at the Earth High-level and below. It also served as a way for them to understand how the Circuitry Formations worked.

"So, how is everything going?"

Liza, who was now a Formation Master at the Middle-level, immediately replied. "We succeeded in creating the first one. However, it's very clumsy. It fails in the creation of runes nine out of ten tries." She couldn't help but drop her head when she said that. Well, not only her, but the other disciples did the same. Rean and Qia had truly made everything many times easier for them, but they didn't get very far.

However, Rean and Qia's answer took them aback. "What?! Nine out of ten?! That's incredible!"

Qia continued, "I remember the first machines we made. It took us half a year to finish it, and we would be lucky if it crafted a single rune in 20 or so tries."

"It seems like all our sweat was not in vain. With the blueprints ready, they're improving a lot faster," Rean also added.

Another disciple voiced out everyone's thoughts right after, saying, "Is this really okay? We aren't the least bit near to creating something usable. Let alone using this Minuscule Rune Carving Device to develop other devices capable of making even smaller runes."

"That's fine," Qia replied. "With the way you're going about it, it shouldn't take more than a month or so until it's ready. However, don't forget, Rean and I will not help you. We want you to understand how they work by yourselves."

Rean agreed with Qia, continuing where she left off, "As long as you finish building the first one, the next ones will become a lot easier. After all, you have the blueprints of the next ones as well."

Liza's group got excited, seeing that they were actually doing fine. "Great! Then, we'll head back to work straight away!"

Rean, Qia, Dian, and Srevil nodded. They would work on the antenna, so they needed more people to take care of other tasks.

After they left, Dian immediately passed Rean the Energy Stabilizer Formations he knew. In the past, Dian would never give the blueprints of his formations for free. Only he knew how hard it was for him to get them since he was a human. However, he simply didn't care anymore. This was truly a small price to pay compared to what Rean and Qia had shown him in the sect.

It wouldn't be before seventeen days later that Rean's group would finally succeed in adding the Energy Stabilizer Runes to the Communication System. "I guess we're finally ready to test real wireless long-distance communication."
