Upon hearing his words, the eighteen girls were somewhat bewildered, seemingly not quite understanding what he meant.Tang San didn't say too much; he knew what brainwashed human vassals were like. Change required time, and the most pressing matter was to take care of the most important tasks at hand.
"Teacher, let's go outside the waterfall, all of you follow me as well," Tang San called out to the eighteen Red Fox girls.
Once they returned to the waterfall, Zhang Haoxuan parted the curtain of water with a gesture of his hands. Tang San had the eighteen girls come close to him and then wrapped them with the wind element, tossing each of them to the shore amidst their screams. Thanks to his exquisite control over the wind element, each Red Fox girl landed gently on the bank.
Only then did Tang San and Zhang Haoxuan follow suit and also go ashore.
The girls looked at him with different eyes than before, amazed by the magical elemental control. Although unfamiliar with the world, they had an innate reverence for power, and seeing that Tang San appeared to be about their age, they felt more comfortable with this new young master than with the Monsters from whom they definitely preferred him by far too much. For a moment, their fear abated considerably, and their gazes towards Tang San were filled with more curiosity.
Tang San said to Zhang Haoxuan, "Teacher, I'm going to begin. I cannot be disturbed, please protect me while I work."
"Hmm," Zhang Haoxuan nodded. He was also curious about what Tang San would do.
Looking up at the position of the sun and then at the pool, Tang San began walking around the perimeter of the water. He walked with focus, his Spiritual Power roiling, with the white glow of the Heavenly Fox Transformation shining in his eyes.
Choosing the right location was crucial for what he was about to do, so he reinforced himself fully with luck.
After walking around the pool twice, he eventually stopped about five meters away from the water's edge.
He pulled a golden-yellow branch out of his Storage Bracelet and began to slowly trace lines in the earth, his movements deliberate yet absorbed. Zhang Haoxuan could sense that Tang San's current Spiritual Power fluctuations were astonishingly intense, so much so that even he was a bit surprised.
The effects of the Purple Sun Fruit are truly incredible; why does it seem like this kid's Spiritual Power has reached a level that I can barely fathom?
With careful precision, Tang San drew interlacing lines upon the ground. The lines were mysterious, as if he were drawing an abstract painting on the canvas of the earth.
Zhang Haoxuan understood that Tang San was outlining a magic array and could not help but watch closely, but he was unable to make any sense of it. Yet, within this array, there was a strange essence, and although there were no energy fluctuations yet, Zhang Haoxuan could still feel an intense and ominous power.
Without pausing, Tang San meticulously sketched line after line, continuously adding complexity to the array and expanding its scope. The Red Fox girls patiently observed from a distance, their faces full of curiosity, even more clueless about what Tang San was doing.
After more than an hour, a complex pattern with a diameter of over five meters emerged on the ground near the small pool. At a glance, it seemed circular with many ring patterns within and numerous crisscrossing lines, whose purpose was unclear. But once it was fully drawn, that mysterious air was even more distinct.
Behind Tang San, a golden light flickered, and massive wings unfurled—the Golden Peng Transformation. Flapping his wings gently, he lifted off the ground, not using the wind element to float because the energy spent on crafting the array had significantly depleted his Spiritual Power, and if he mishandled the control of the wind element, any damage to the array below would render all his previous efforts in vain.
He floated above the center of the array, took a deep breath, and slowly inserted the branch of Golden Wood used to outline the array into the ground. He planted it deep, burying it halfway into the earth. A faint golden hue appeared on the surface of the Golden Wood, and the entire array—seemingly just lines traced in the dirt—seemed to tremble ever so slightly.
A faint smile emerged on the corners of Tang San's mouth; he could feel that there was nothing wrong with the magic array he had depicted.
Next, he took out a piece of Golden Wood and inserted it into the second position, followed by the third and the fourth.
Shocked expressions began to appear in Zhang Haoxuan's eyes as he watched Tang San insert the golden wood rods into the formation one by one. He noticed that the lines drawn on the ground, which seemed to be mere markings, came to life as if they were resonating at the same frequency.
While Tang San had been depicting the magic array earlier, Zhang Haoxuan had already noticed some of the mysteries. Tang San's Spiritual Power had always been maintained over every line, imbuing his Spiritual Power into them and thus maintaining a sense of wholeness in the seemingly unrelated markings.
Now, as the Golden Wood was being inserted, it was like adding the finishing touch to a dragon painting, illuminating the entire magic array. Accompanied by vibration, the Spiritual Power within the formation decreased, and they began to vibrate with energy waves of the same frequency. Naturally, this energy wasn't granted by the soil nor from the Golden Wood themselves, but rather it felt like the rich fusion of the Origin Energy of heaven and earth.
Without a doubt, the Origin Energy was being influenced by this wondrous magic array and converging towards it.
Merely this characteristic of connecting with the universe made Tang San's magic array quite a success.
As each piece of Golden Wood fell into the formation, each insertion made the golden color on the surface of the Golden Wood embedded in the soil grow richer, creating an incredibly striking and dazzling effect.
Finally, the last piece of Golden Wood appeared in Tang San's hand. In an instant, his Spiritual Power burst forth, his eyes exuding a blazing brightness, and an odd sensation of luck was released.
"Plop"—the piece of Golden Wood in his hand fell, accurately inserted into a designated spot.
"Hum—" A fierce buzzing sound arose, followed by an invisible golden halo that instantly rippled outward.
Each piece of Golden Wood began to tremble intensely, and the water on the surface of the nearby pool also rippled with waves.
Tang San leaped down to the ground, his face looking somewhat pale. He deactivated his Golden Peng Transformation, but his eyes were filled with excitement.
"It's finished!" Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Each piece of Golden Wood, emitting a soft golden light, settled from vigorous shaking to a steady state. The golden color began to flow from top to bottom, down into the magic array, and as the golden rings expanded outward, passing by Zhang Haoxuan and the Red Fox girls, they didn't feel any change. However, they sensed that something had been added to the scenery of this mountain and rivers.
Zhang Haoxuan's perception was the strongest. He discovered that the spirituality of heaven and earth seemed to become more concentrated with the completion of the magic array. Initially, it wasn't obvious, but as time passed, it seemed that with every second that elapsed, the Aura here would increase a bit more. The speed of this increase was not very fast but was continuous and stable. And this spirituality of heaven and earth was not spreading into the air but was extending towards the formation, merging into it, and quietly vanishing.
Tang San sat down on the spot and began meditating to recover the energy he had expended earlier.
Zhang Haoxuan, on the other hand, walked around the magic array several times, silently sensing its changes.
Without a doubt, this magic array did more than just connect with the universe; it was also absorbing the spirituality of heaven and earth from the outside. What was more peculiar was that under its pull, the speed at which the absorbed Aura arrived was slowly increasing. The pieces of Golden Wood now looked like ordinary branches, and below the magic array, there were golden halos flowing intermittently, exuding a sense of wonder.
