n“The Dao of array formations is derived from nature.”

nThis was the first thing Jiu Han said to Lu Ming when he first came into contact with the Dao of array formations.

nLong before the emergence of extraordinary power, many worlds already had legends of array formations.

nThe classic was like the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Formations on Earth.

nOf course, due to the lack of extraordinary motivation, the power of such an array formation was not too impressive. But it was sufficient for simple tasks.

nFor example, tracking or hiding.

nYou could even put it more bluntly.

nThe maze could probably be barely classified under the Dao of array formations.

nAnd this was the foundation of Lu Ming’s creation of a safe zone.

nUsing materials imbued with non-source power extraordinary energy, he set up a simple tracking formation.

nUsing other energy fluctuations to mask the source power fluctuations of the silver patterns and the Boshi Tower to prevent strange gazes and covetous gazes.

nAt level 7893 Dao of array formation, Lu Ming quickly determined the construction process of the Tracking Formation. For the current Lu Ming, this was really quite simple.

nOne by one, the strange stones were moved by Lu Ming to fixed positions. He even dug up some ordinary stones on-site for filling.

nAfter a busy day, the array was basically formed, covering an area of nearly 10,000 square meters.

nAnd for Lu Ming, these spaces were temporarily sufficient.

nAfter returning to an antique house, Lu Ming checked the array formation while busying himself with other things.

nFirst, there was the Boshi Tower.

nHe took out the Boshi Tower and placed it beside him.

nBut he did not enlarge it, just maintaining it at the size of his palm to facilitate carrying it with him at any time during his escape.

nHis perception flowed through the array formation and landed in the Boshi Tower.

nLu Ming saw that the interior of the Boshi Tower was layered, with a total of 999 floors. Each floor had a decent area, enough to accommodate people. Some larger floors even had fertile fields, treasure mines, and vast landscapes.

nAfter all, it was a divine artifact. Jiu Han had indeed put in a lot of effort into the Boshi Tower.

n“It can meet the daily needs of me and the people inside the tower.”

nThe Boshi Tower itself could produce water and food. Even though there were quite a few people inside now, given the Boshi Tower’s resource reserves and land area, it could easily support them.

nMoreover, Lu Ming had even changed the array formation inside the Boshi Tower yesterday.

nThe original Spirit Gathering Formation had become a Spirit Locking Formation. On the one hand, this could reduce the source power fluctuations of the Boshi Tower. On the other hand, it could also slow down the rate of source power loss inside the Boshi Tower. This not only protected the safety of the people in the tower, but also prevented the rapid deterioration of some materials, treasures, and the main array formation inside.

nHowever, this obviously was not a long-term solution.

nSpeaking of which, there was no long-term plan…

nThere was not a bit of Source Power left in the black mist, and it was all sucked away by the Anomaly. Any creature or dead thing with Source Power would slowly dissipate its Source Power until it was completely sucked dry—this was the so-called Source Power Tide.

nTo put it simply, it was the principle of water naturally flowing downhill.

nAnd Lu Ming could slow down this process with the use of array formations, but he could not completely prevent it.

nHe then took out a smartphone from his pocket.

nDialing a call and sending messages were completely ineffective.

nLu Ming had tried this a long time ago. This black mist completely blocked all technological communication methods.

nAfter a simple operation, Lu Ming put away his phone and was not discouraged.

nJust with a thought, his whole person turned into green smoke and fused into the Boshi Tower.

nInside the Boshi Tower, Lu Ming’s manor.

nStanding in a familiar place, without the sinister atmosphere of the external Black Mist, Lu Ming’s mood also relaxed considerably.

nHe drew the Divine Source from Moon Fiend as usual, ensuring that Moon Fiend would not awaken from her dormant state. Then, Lu Ming looked at the four Divine Spirit Realm experts, including Shu Fang, whom he had saved.

nIt had been a day since he saved them.

nHowever, during the first wave of the black mist’s impact on them, a powerful anomaly drew away their Divine Source, causing their divinity to fall into a dormant state.restraint over source

nUntil now, they still had not awakened.

nLooking at the four of them, Lu Ming’s brow slowly furrowed.

n“Restraint.”

n“Absolute restraint.”

n“Anomalies have an absolute and overwhelming restraint over source power, divinity, and the Divine Spirit Realm.”

nIn fact, compared to Lu Ming, these gods were even more overwhelmingly restrained—because of the divinity and the divinity’s dormant state.

nWithout anyone reminding him, Lu Ming had already realized something.

nSource Power, Divine Source, Divinity, and the Heaven Ascension Stairs.

nThere were major issues in these aspects.

nHe thought of the divinity reconstruction experiment he had yet to complete.

nLu Ming had a faint premonition—from this experiment, perhaps he could find the answers he was looking for.

nWith this in mind, Lu Ming suddenly was not in a hurry to leave this place.

nAfter the Tracking Formation was formed, Lu Ming’s safety within the black mist was reasonably guaranteed.

n“Then let’s complete the experiment first before considering anything else.”

nMuttering to himself, Lu Ming returned to the cultivation room and entered the void space.

nSource Power outlined array patterns. The array patterns formed array formations. The array formations attracted the Divine Source to form array patterns, and the array patterns formed array formations.

nThis was roughly the entire process of the divinity reconstruction experiment.

nAt present, Lu Ming had already completely grasped the composition of the divinity array formation, and what remained was just careful manipulation and refinement.

nStep by step, slowly outlining.

nNot seeking speed, only seeking precision.

nDuring the process, Lu Ming kept increasing the level of the array formation increasing the level of the skill could also enhance the precision of Lu Ming’s operation.

nTime passed bit by bit, and Lu Ming enjoyed the process.

nIn the outside world, the effect of the Tracking Formation was beyond Lu Ming’s imagination.

nVarious non-source power energy stones emitted fluctuations that perfectly masked the source power fluctuations of the Boshi Tower. The main formation resembling a maze also made it so that mindless strange entities that unwittingly entered this area would unknowingly circle out from another entrance.

nThis array formation might not be able to guarantee permanent safety, but it did give Lu Ming a moment of peace.

nIn the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

nOn this day, Lu Ming suddenly opened his eyes in the void space.

nAfter a short rest, Lu Ming had already dispelled the mental fatigue that had accumulated due to prolonged concentration.

nLooking ahead, he could see faint divine sources in front of him, gradually forming intricate patterns under the influence of the source power array formation. In the midst of countless complex and precise source power array formations, a faint golden crystal, about the size of a grape seed, was gradually taking shape.

nAt this moment, the Divine Source created by Lu Ming had already been perfected by 99%. It was only a few strokes away to be completely formed. In order to reach this step, Lu Ming had experienced countless failures and had spent a long, long time in the Void Realm.

nBut all efforts eventually paid off!

n“This time, it will definitely succeed.”

nSuch an inexplicable premonition arose in Lu Ming’s mind.

nAnd then, he became even more focused.

nOutside.

nThe Blood Flesh Mother Tree, with great caution along the way, finally arrived outside Xuanshui City.

nStanding at a high place and gazing at the Xuanshui City that had already turned into ruins, the blood Flesh Mother Tree waved its large hand.

nSoon, thousands of humanoid monsters scattered and walked towards Xuanshui City.

n“I have no way to precisely locate Lu Ming’s position.”

n“I can only conduct a carpet-style search.”

nSpeaking these helpless words, the Mother Tree also showed a helpless expression.

nAlong the way, it had figured it out.

nThe current Mother Tree hoped that Lu Ming could survive until help arrived.

nAfter all the humiliation it had suffered, it truly wanted to repay twofold.

nIt wanted to see Lu Ming’s desperate face.

nIt wanted to see Lu Ming suffer humiliation.

nIt wanted to see Lu Ming standing in front of it, respectfully and humbly saying, “Please save me.”

nHow could the Mother Tree not love the feeling of beating a drowning dog?

nAt this moment, everything was going according to the Mother Tree’s plans.

nFarther away, across almost half of the Black Mist Zone,

nJiu Han followed Zero to a small island in the Western Sea..
