Chapter 1273 - 1272: Refining the Array Flags

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1272: Refining the Array Flags

There are thirty-six common Formation Arrays in the Heavenly Realm.

Of course, based on these thirty-six Formation Arrays, other Arrays can also be derived, but this depends on the personal mastery of the Array Master.

Moreover, the same Array, when set up by different people, will definitely have different effects. For instance, the "Nine Palaces Lock Heaven Array," if arranged by Leonidas King, wouldn’t be too effective, but if arranged by a Divine King, it would be a super Big Array.

To create an Array, first you need to be able to refine Array flags, because Array flags are the foundation of an Array. Exotic treasures are secondary; good exotic treasures can strengthen an Array, while ordinary ones can also form the Array.

After entering the mountains, Yusuf Zuck found a cave to burrow into and then spent a day choosing three Arrays out of the thirty-six.

One is the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, which serves as the outer Big Array. The second is the "Heaven and Earth Upside Down Array," the second layer, and the core is the "Five Elements Extermination Array."

He didn’t learn others, focusing only on these three Arrays, meticulously studying and deeply comprehending.

Formation Arrays are much more complex than Alchemy. Yusuf Zuck had insights into Alchemy and possessed Strange Fire, so making Elixirs was not difficult for him, but after he started researching Arrays, he felt the difficulty.

This is because Arrays require calculation, precision, and a macroscopic layout; every detail, every step, every position, etc., must not have any mistakes.

Moreover, not everyone can refine Array flags, and there are even hundreds of types of Array flags. What properties each Array flag has, how much energy needs to be infused, etc., all require conversion.

In fact, an Array is a vast mathematical formula, and unfortunately, mathematics was Yusuf Zuck’s biggest headache during his school days.

In elementary school, he could still do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, at least memorizing multiplication tables. But when he got to middle school, geometry, square roots and the like confused him, leading to his math scores typically being below twenty points, seldom exceeding twenty.

Although things are different now, his mind has widely opened, and he has become extremely keen, he still finds numbers to be a headache.

However, even with the headache, he now has to grit his teeth and persist because it relates to his future, even to his life and death.

Once learned, it will become a skill, and later it can also be a means to secure a living.

Starting from scratch, he deeply immersed himself in it.

In the Heavenly Realm, time passes very quickly, as any person’s Cultivation Level progresses very slowly; without hundreds of millions of years, you cannot expect to advance in rank, and everyone spends their days in dull Cultivation.

In a flash, thirteen years passed. He sat alone in the cave for thirteen full years, his whole body covered with a thick layer of dust.

And after thirteen years, when he opened his eyes and stood up, he walked out.

Outside Shuanggushan, Leonidas King was still there, arranging a Formation. After all, thirteen years had passed, and he was originally an Array Master, so he continued to fulfill the task Yusuf Zuck had given him.

However, the God Array is very difficult to set up, and because his Cultivation Level is too low, he wasn’t even able to form the outermost Array.

He refined flags while setting up the Array, at an extremely slow pace.

Yusuf Zuck also knew the difficulty of setting up an Array; often, setting up a Big Array successfully could take several years, or even decades or hundreds of years, so his incomplete work after thirteen years was understandable.

"Big brother, my Cultivation Level is too low, and the materials in the Divine Realm are special. My Divine Fire is not powerful enough to let me quickly refine Array flags, so..." Leonidas King said embarrassedly, because he had claimed that it would take a few years to arrange the Array, but now more than a dozen years had passed and there’s not even a shadow of the Big Array, so he felt somewhat ashamed.

"Let’s go, follow me into the city!" Yusuf Zuck smiled and did not blame him. If it had been in the past, he might have scolded him, but he had also learned about formation arrays, so he was well aware of the difficulties in setting them up.

After returning to Northwest Guard City, the two of them first went to a restaurant for a big feast, and then went to the market together to purchase materials for crafting formation flags and setting up formation arrays.

"The materials you are buying should be for setting up formations like the Nine Palaces Bagua, Heaven and Earth Upside Down Array, and Five Elements Extermination Array, right?" Leonidas King was a bit baffled seeing Yusuf Zuck splurging on all sorts of materials; within the thirty-six formation arrays, these three were of the highest rank and also the most difficult to set up. It could be said that one could not succeed in setting up such formation arrays unless they were below the level of a deity.

"You have a good eye, those are indeed the three formations!" Yusuf Zuck praised.

"But these three formations, one cannot set them up at the divine-human level, because the flags for these formations must be forged with deity-level Karmic Fire!" Leonidas King hurriedly said.

"I have my methods, let’s go, back we go." Yusuf Zuck finished buying the things and did not elaborate further to Leonidas King, and left right away.

Leonidas King was completely stunned. Had his older brother, who had only studied formation arrays for thirteen years, already become capable of setting up these unparalleled grand formations?

With his questions, he followed Yusuf Zuck back to Twin Peaks Mountain.

"Once I’ve set up the formations, make a trip to the City Lord’s Mansion. ’Twin Peaks Mountain’ doesn’t sound nice. We will make this place our home and it will be where we start our rise, so let’s change the name of this mountain to... Kunlun Mountain!" Yusuf Zuck’s eyebrows shot up. The terrain here was in fact similar to the mundane world’s Kunlun Mountain, and it was also located in the northwest. Furthermore, the connotation of Kunlun Mountain was very positive.

Kunlun was where the Heavenly Emperor resided on Earth, and it was also associated with myths such as the archery contest to shoot the sun in Kunlun mythology. Thus, Yusuf Zuck wanted to create his own mythology in the Heavenly Realm, and this place would be the origin of that mythology!

"What does Kunlun mean?" Leonidas King asked, not understanding.

"Holy, or ’heaven’," Yusuf Zuck explained as he paced around the spot. The more he thought about it, the more appropriate the name Kunlun appeared. Thus, he couldn’t wait to say, "You go back to the city right now, tell the City Lord to rename Twin Peaks Mountain to Kunlun Mountain, let’s handle it this way!"

In fact, Yusuf Zuck had another motive: if Ember Vance heard the word ’Kunlun’, would she come over? Therefore, the name Kunlun was a must.

"Alright, I’ll go now. But, don’t you need my help to forge the formation flags?" Leonidas King asked.

"No need," Yusuf Zuck shook his head.

"Then I’m off," Leonidas King did not hesitate and went back to the city right away.

As for Yusuf Zuck, he soared into the sky to survey the ley lines of Kunlun Mountain, planning to lay out the Nine Palaces Bagua Array based on the natural geographical environment.

This Nine Palaces Bagua was a peerless grand formation that combined defense, illusion, and offense, involving a total of three hundred and sixty formation flags. Once the formation was set up, one formation would transform into nine palaces, each palace containing eight gates, and each gate potentially fatal.

Two days later, when Leonidas King came back, Yusuf Zuck was still surveying the terrain while also marking positions.

Leonidas King didn’t interrupt him but followed him around the mountain for turns.

Seven days later, Yusuf Zuck with red eyes landed, took out a huge pile of materials, and with a flip of his wrist, the Thunder Purple Flame appeared. With a flick of his fingers, those materials rapidly transformed into small flags burning with Thunder Purple Flame!

Leonidas King was dumbstruck, his entire being frozen in shock as he witnessed Yusuf Zuck forge the formation flags as if crafting children’s toys, so damn fast!
