Chapter 359: Mother Tree: Watch Me Beating A Drowning Dog

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

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

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

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

Of 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.

For example, tracking or hiding.

You could even put it more bluntly.

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

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

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

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

At 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.

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

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

And for Lu Ming, these spaces were temporarily sufficient.

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

First, there was the Boshi Tower.

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

But 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.

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

Lu 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.

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

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

The 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.

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

The 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.

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

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

There 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.

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

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

He then took out a smartphone from his pocket.

Dialing a call and sending messages were completely ineffective.

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

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

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

Inside the Boshi Tower, Lu Ming’s manor.

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

He 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.

It had been a day since he saved them.

However, 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

Until now, they still had not awakened.

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

“Restraint.”

“Absolute restraint.”

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

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

Without anyone reminding him, Lu Ming had already realized something.

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

There were major issues in these aspects.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Source 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.

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

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

Step by step, slowly outlining.

Not seeking speed, only seeking precision.

During 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.

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

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

Various 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.

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

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

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

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

Looking 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.

At 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.

But all efforts eventually paid off!

“This time, it will definitely succeed.”

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

And then, he became even more focused.

Outside.

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

Standing 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.

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

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

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

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

Along the way, it had figured it out.

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

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

It wanted to see Lu Ming’s desperate face.

It wanted to see Lu Ming suffer humiliation.

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

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

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

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

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