Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 320 - 320 Circular Formation 309

320: Circular Formation 309 320: Circular Formation 309 Instead of rashly attacking the Earthfire Serpents, Jiang Chen quietly retreated from the volcano, exploring the terrain around it.

Jiang Chen intended to familiarize himself with the surroundings to deploy a powerful magic formation according to the terrain, refining all the Earthfire Serpents that were entrenched here.

“The earth-fire here is abundant and the heat is intense.

It seems suitable to arrange a fire-attributed magic formation.”

“In due course, the force of the formation would mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth, forcibly enhancing the potency of the Earth Vein’s toxic fire, causing it to transform into Earth Core Divine Flame.

This could see an increase in power by a hundredfold and maybe blaze all these Earthfire Serpents to death.”

In no time, Jiang Chen devised a complete plan to burn these Earthfire Serpents to death with the power of earth-fire.

However, he quickly overthrew his plan.

“It won’t work.

The Earthfire Serpent was born from earth-fire and has a great resistance to it.

The power of the Earth Core Divine Flame might not be able to torch them.”

“On the contrary, the Earth Core Divine Flame could become a boosting force for the Fierce Beasts, making them even stronger.”

“Wait a minute…

”

“Maybe I could set up another magic formation.”

As soon as an idea popped into his head, Jiang Chen thought of another solution, to arrange a thunder-attribute formation outside the earth-fire formation.

Let the earth-fire boil, and the power of the formation will call upon heavenly thunder.

By then, the heavenly thunder will couple with the earth-fire, enough to explode an unimaginable power to shatter those Earthfire Serpents into pieces.

Furthermore, if this is still not safe enough, several more magic formations can be arranged.

For example, the Earthly Fiend Yin Yang formation could mobilize the power of the Earth’s profound Yin force.

By then, Yin and Yang would balance each other, wearing out all things directly, would be enough to make the Earthfire Serpents drink a pot.

After having an idea, Jiang Chen’s mind started to work faster.

A series of formations successively formed in his mind, quickly linked together to form a shocking killing formation.

Nevertheless, after making a decision, Jiang Chen didn’t start right away.

Instead, he quietly operated Innate Eight Diagrams, checked and filled in the gaps in his plan.

Not until he couldn’t find any issues that he began to prepare for the arrangement of the formation.

Sun God Gold obtained from the Nine Yang Spring and gloomy stones obtained from the Underworld River were gradually taken out by Jiang Chen.

Under the refinement of the Tao mirror, they gradually transformed into something Jiang Chen wanted: the array flags needed for arranging formations.

In this era, there is no concept of an array disk, so arranging formations is quite troublesome.

You need to confirm the directions and then place the array flags.

After a series of procedures, you can start the formation.

All in all, it’s quite troublesome.

It’s for this reason that Guang Chengzi was so shocked when he saw Saintess Wudang using instantaneous formation techniques during their battle.

Speaking of which, this instantaneous formation technique should be the precursor of the array disk.

Give Saintess Wudang more time to research, and the array disk method might come into popularity.

The array disk can also be regarded as a kind of magic treasure.

It is a magic treasure that refines a complete formation without the need for prior arrangement.

It can be directly activated to form a formation, which is very convenient.

If Saintess Wudang accomplishes this, she would not only be the founder but also earn a tremendous amount of Merit.

Unfortunately, Saintess Wudang is Jiang Chen’s master.

For this Merit, Jiang Chen could have abandoned everything in his hands, focused on cultivation, developed the method for refining an array disk in advance, and intercepted this Merit.

Alas, it’s a pity that Saintess Wudang is Jiang Chen’s master, making him reluctant to start.

How regretful.

While Jiang Chen was deep in thought, the Array Flags for three formations were refined by the Tao mirror: the Earth Core Mysterious Fire Array, Shenxiao Thunder Summoning Array, and the Earthly Fiend Yin Yang Array.

These three formations, one after another, complement each other.

Connected, their power can increase dozens of times, refining the Earthfire Serpents within should not be difficult.

Even if it did not succeed, it didn’t matter.

Jiang Chen had a backup plan.

After the Demon Suppression Soldiers arrived, he set up an Innate Soul Refining Array outside these three formations.

In such a tightly-knit manner, the group of Earthfire Serpents was doomed to be doomed.

…

…

After a while over a cup of tea, seven thousand Demon Suppression Soldiers quietly arrived at Jiang Chen’s side led by Sun Wukong.

Seeing Jiang Chen hidden in the dark, watching the volcano ahead with a stern face, Sun Wukong came to Jiang Chen and asked in a low voice, “Brother, is there any treasure in this volcano worth your full deployment?”

At his words, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Treasures, always treasures, didn’t this monkey know anything but treasures?

However, the Fierce Beasts indeed were treasures.

The entire body of a Fierce Beast can be considered a treasure.

Whether its flesh, bones, tendons, or skin are used for refining tools or medicine, they are all very useful.

Moreover, those powerful Fierce Beasts can be used to refine Innate Spiritual Treasures.

That’s right, Innate Spiritual Treasures.

They are said to be impossible to refine, but they can be refined out of Fierce Beasts.

Of course, Fierce Beasts that satisfy the conditions for refining Innate Spiritual Treasures also have extraordinarily powerful abilities, at least reaching the Dao Venerable Realm.

But from this point of view, it proves the preciousness of Fierce Beasts.

How could they not be precious if they can refine Innate Spiritual Treasures?

Jiang Chen looked at Sun Wukong and said, “Indeed, there are treasures, living ones.”

Then, Jiang Chen pushed Sun Wukong towards the volcano where Earthfire Serpents were lurking.

“Monkey, the treasure is inside there.

You try first to see if you can take those treasures.”

Jiang Chen intended to use Sun Wukong to scrutinize the power of the Earthfire Serpents and determine whether his formation could refine and kill the Earthfire Serpents.

While he was confident in his formation, he was not comfortable not knowing the limits of the Earthfire Serpents.

What if the Earthfire Serpents were holding back their strength and he didn’t notice?

This scenario demanded caution.

Therefore, Jiang Chen needed to verify the strength of the Earthfire Serpents to be reassured.

…

Boom!

After a moment, a large rumbling sound suddenly emanated from the volcano, followed by an earthquake.

Seeing this, a smile couldn’t help but appear on Jiang Chen’s face.

Then, he turned his head and instructed the Demon Suppression Soldiers around him, “Hold the Soul Refining Banners and arrange the Innate Soul Refining Array in the dark.

Surround this area completely, and don’t let any living thing escape.

After the order was given to the Demon Suppression Soldiers, Jiang Chen flashed himself into the volcano.

Boop!

As soon as he entered the volcano, a group of earth-fire rushed towards him.

Jiang Chen did not dodge or hide, went straight through it, and then he saw Sun Wukong being surrounded by a group of serpents.

Every serpent attacking Sun Wukong was about a thousand feet big, covered with a layer of black evil air.

The red scales reflected the chilly light, and their crimson vertical pupils were devoid of emotions, possessing endless frenzy and ferocity.
