Chapter 2274 Idling

Inside the room, a large branch magic array was carved on the floor.

It was a type of comprehensive magic array.

Fang Heng had added a portion of small-scale teleportation power into the integrated magic array.

“Whoosh!!!”

Within Fang Heng’s right eye, the rapidly rotating magic array was reflected.

The teleportation function of the magic array in front of him was quickly triggered.

Swoosh!

With a flash of light, Fang Heng instantly vanished into the magic array, teleporting into the third basement.

Abe Akaya!

In the third basement, within a secret room newly renovated in the Temple of Incantation, several root vines overflowed from the central magic array of the room.

There were many empty rooms equipped with magic arrays similar to this one, and the Leaf tribe themselves couldn’t keep track of how many there were, let alone have the time to assign people to guard each one.

So, Fang Heng was allowed to exploit.

Abe Akaya had been obedient to Fang Heng’s instructions, never expanding, only absorbing the dimensional strength overflowing from the magic array on the ceiling.

Everything was going smoothly.

Now, it was time for the next step.

With a flick of his wrist, Fang Heng took action.

Another jar filled with dimensional energy materialized in Fang Heng’s hand.

Fang Heng stepped forward and placed the sacrificial jar at the center of the magic array.

Next, when the master magic array was activated next time, the sacrificial jar here would also be triggered, allowing Abe Akaya to fully absorb the dimensional energy within it.

With this done, Fang Heng teleported back to the upper room.

Mission accomplished!

On to the next step!

The two Leaf tribe members responsible for surveillance outside the room were surprised to see Fang Heng leave so quickly and one of them asked, “Fang Heng? Is it over already?”

“Yeah, ran into a little trouble. I need to go back to the hall for another test,” Fang Heng replied hastily, not waiting for their response before rushing back to the main hall.

The two followed suit, exchanging glances.

“Everyone, we’ve encountered a minor issue. I’ll be operating the magic array again to try and identify the problem. Elders, rest assured, the operation of the magic array won’t affect the sacred tree sapling,” Fang Heng announced to the group.

An idle magic array?

Though puzzled, no one questioned it. They all knew Fang Heng was the architect of the magic array.

So, they followed Fang Heng’s instructions, positioning themselves back at the center of the magic array and activating it.

The magic array began to rotate slowly.

Unbeknownst to them, in the third basement…

The energy within the sacrificial jar slowly began to overflow.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”

Abe Akaya absorbed the dimensional energy leaking from the sacrificial jar, and his experience points rapidly increased!

…

Meanwhile, on a small island by the sea.

Abe Akaya, after being transformed by the magic array, took root and sprouted on the island. It rapidly spread across the entire island, covering it completely.

Cleriway stood by Abe Akaya’s side, her eyes filled with a sense of awe.

Abe Akaya…

Starting half an hour ago, Abe Akaya began to expand rapidly!

The speed of this growth…

It was truly astonishing!

At this moment, Abe Akaya’s vines and leaves had spread throughout the entire island, even extending into the seabed, rapidly spreading in the underwater domain.

“Fang Heng…”

Cleriway couldn’t help but look into the distance.

There must have been a breakthrough on Fang Heng’s end.

The Federation quickly noticed the special energy fluctuations emitted by Abe Akaya.

“Report! Anomalies in natural energy fluctuations detected in the area of Shayun Island.”

Shayun Island?

The Minister of the Federal Garrison District frowned as he looked at the marked area on the map.

That area…

If he remembered correctly, it should be the area where Fang Heng was temporarily hiding.

What kind of special research is Fang Heng conducting there?

“I see. Continue monitoring.”

…

The news of Fang Heng’s successful modification of the magic array was immediately reported to the upper echelons of the Leaf tribe.

Upon hearing this, Great Elder Senzo’s face showed a hint of joy.

It was one of the few pieces of good news they had received during this time.

It seemed that Ovi was right. The modified magic array could indeed produce such good results.

“Is the news accurate?”

“It is.” Vannes nodded and replied, “If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

“Good!”

With this development, the Leaf tribe could gain a significant advantage in the cultivation battle for the sacred tree!

After some thought, Senzo nodded and said, “In that case, let’s fully cooperate with Fang Heng’s efforts. Remember, this is an important secret of our Leaf tribe. Make sure the information doesn’t leak out.”

“Understood!” Vannes replied. “Great Elder, how should we handle Fang Heng?”

“We need to protect him closely. Consider allowing him to receive some inheritance of natural energy. If he refuses to cooperate, we cannot let him fall into the hands of other clans.”

A hint of coldness appeared in Vannes’s eyes as he replied, “Yes, Elder, I understand what needs to be done.”

“Also, humans do possess some ability in alchemy magic arrays. I recall Ovi mentioning that Fang Heng is a member of a human alchemy magic association. Find a way to bring someone from that association here. We need to be prepared on all fronts in case something goes wrong with Fang Heng.”

“Got it.”

…

The next morning dawned.

Zet returned to the Temple of Incantation with a total of five sacrificial jars filled with dimensional energy.

“Prepare to activate the magic array immediately!”

Despite staying up for two consecutive nights, Zet didn’t feel any fatigue. Excitement gleamed in his eyes.

After Vannes left yesterday, Zet personally led his subordinates to continue collecting dimensional energy in the dimensional world overnight.

Of course, this time Zet was even more daring. He brought three times as many people and directly brought five sacrificial jars.

Naturally, the results were very satisfying.

All five sacrificial jars were filled with dimensional energy!

Meanwhile, Fang Heng discreetly filled his three sacrificial vessels with energy.

Upon Vannes’s return to the settlement, he waited in the Temple of Incantation. Seeing the group return, he cast an inquiring glance at Zet.

“We have not failed you, Elder.”

“Excellent.” Vannes nodded, preparing to witness the next changes in the sacred tree sapling. He said, “Let’s begin the next step as soon as possible.”

All eyes turned to Fang Heng.

In reality, only Fang Heng could control the magic array.

“Let’s make preparations first. We’ll start in half an hour. Before we begin, I need to double-check the operation of the magic array,” Fang Heng said. With that, he began to inspect the magic array alone.

Two Leaf tribe surveillance personnel immediately followed him.

Although called surveillance, most of the time they were kept waiting outside the door.

Half an hour later, when Fang Heng secretly placed the sacrificial jars into the hidden chamber of the third basement, the central magic array began to operate again.

The energy drawn from the five jars had already increased dramatically.

The overflowing dimensional energy almost filled the entire magic array.

The sapling of the sacred tree absorbed the transformed energy frantically, rapidly increasing in size.

Compared to before, the growth of the sapling was now visible to the naked eye!

Hint: The sacred tree, Abe Akaya, absorbed dimensional energy, gaining 21,000 experience points…

Hint: The sacred tree, Abe Akaya, absorbed dimensional energy, gaining 43,000 experience points…

As the numbers rapidly scrolled, Fang Heng suddenly noticed a swiftly passing message.

Hint: The sacred tree, Abe Akaya, has returned to the growth phase.
