Chapter 89: The Great Array of Brahma's Sound
Today's second update~~~
"Mantra fruit, what is Mantra fruit?" Zhang Chong heard Yue's words and quickly asked. Yue spoke slowly and said, "Originally, between heaven and earth, there are many rare and precious herbs, some of which don't need to be refined and can be used as is."
In this case, the Mantra Tree is one of the best array trees. A mature Mantra Tree can reach the sixth rank, and if it is nourished by spiritual springs and spiritual energy, it can be promoted to a higher rank, which is extremely rare in spiritual plants.
To know, the seventh-grade level is already absolutely impossible to see on the market such a spiritual plant. If you have a Fenyin tree like this, it can support a sect of over 100 people, which is more than enough.
The Mantra Tree itself can serve as the eye of a large array, supporting 1,024 sub-arrays. If all are deployed simultaneously, it is considered an extremely powerful sixth-grade array. Moreover, on this Mantra Tree, there is a strange fruit called the Mantra Fruit. This fruit has strong attacking power and will immediately launch an attack once it senses danger.
The Mantra Fruit ripens once every ten years, and its growth cycle has reached an astonishing fifty years. Every decade, the power of the Mantra Fruit doubles, so that by the time it reaches sixty years, its power is nearly thirty times greater, and cannot be said to be weak.
From Zhang Chong's description of the fruit with aggressive tendencies, Yue faintly felt that it was highly likely that this large forest array was set up with the Mantra Tree as its eye.
As soon as they guessed it was a Sanskrit tree, they immediately began studying the secret of breaking the array.
"You little scamp, you're indeed extremely lucky. You should know that the grand formation set up by Fan Yin is something that even a Golden Elixir level cultivator would find hard to break through if it were controlled by a person. Even if a Nascent Soul level cultivator came, they might not be able to break this formation in a short while."
"And what's more, this Sanskrit tree is a living thing, which means you can carry it with you and use it as an aid. With its help, the time it takes to set up your formation will be greatly shortened." Yue said.
After hearing Yue's words, Zhang Chong's fighting spirit became even more vigorous.
He slowly drew out the scenes he had seen, and then marked the positions of the two veins. He began to deduce based on these two veins.
The Mahayana Array can support 1024 sub-arrays, so it can calculate the number of meridians based on this, and then infer the possible location of the array eye.
This calculation process is extremely complicated, and it's really a very difficult thing for Zhang Chong to set up the four-product array with his current strength. Fortunately, he has Yue's help, so he can calculate it bit by bit.
Once he made some progress and inferred the location of the remaining veins, he immediately rushed out to verify them.
Hard work pays off, after more than five months of searching, he finally found the location of nearly 500 meridians. Based on the distribution of these meridians, there should only be three possible places where the array eye can exist.
With anticipation, Zhang returned to the first possible location. His eyes gazed at the tree in front of him that was no different from the others, stirring up the power of heaven and earth within his body. On the Devouring Heart Stick in his hand, two wisps of black and white mist suddenly emerged, lightly circling around that tree before dissipating.
Zhang Chong continued to increase the force on the stick, and as the power grew stronger, he felt a very strong resistance. However, this resistance was not like before, causing the tree to become transparent and fly out with Sanskrit sounds.
This rebellion was like a mighty flood, surging towards him. Zhang Ren patiently guided this force, causing it to soar into the sky. In an instant, the originally clear and cloudless sky was suddenly covered with dense foliage, blocking out the sky.
Just then, Zhang Chong's spirit was hardened and he squeezed into the tree.
What a powerful vitality! This was Zhang Chong's most vivid feeling, that kind of vigorous life force was stronger than any living being he had ever encountered before, yet it was strong but full of gentle meaning, and in interacting with Zhang Chong's mind, it also made Zhang Chong's heart as calm as water.
Zhang Chong's divine sense slowly seeped in, and finally, he encountered a slight obstruction. He could feel that it was a strand of divine sense power. It was very clear that this Mantra Tree was an owned object.
But that one strand of spiritual energy had long been unable to withstand the erosion of time, and in front of Zhang Chong's not-too-strong spiritual energy, it seemed weak and unstoppable. In Zhang Chong's heart, he silently recited the technique of erasing the gods that Yue had taught him, faintly erasing this strand of spiritual energy, and afterwards, everything went smoothly without any obstacles.
"This is the Mantra Tree, where the eye of the great formation lies." Zhang Chong didn't arrive until now, and only then did he feel an overwhelming joy in his heart. He understood that after infusing his own spirit and erasing the previous owner's spirit, this Mantra Tree would become his own magical treasure.
And the person who originally owned this Bodhi tree should also be a strong man, if he were alive, his strength would definitely be much stronger than Zhang Chong. However, just like Lan Xi Ping, they have great strength, but still not strong enough to resist time and life.
As time passed, their generation came to an end, and everything disappeared into thin air, leaving only the Bodhi tree waiting for its new master to continue writing a new chapter.
Zhang Chong's eyes lit up, he was no longer looking at this tree, but saw the entire forest, every leaf became his eyes, and with each breath, he could feel these trees gently swaying.
And before his eyes, he also saw many familiar figures, Liu Sheng, Lin Ye, Xiao Tian, and the Eight Immortals of Lin Hai, Hua Shan, Yun Wu. Each of them was as cautious as if they were facing a great enemy, walking back and forth in the forest, and many times, they were even very close to each other, yet they seemed to be unaware of each other's presence, and instead moved further apart.
Zhang Zhong's heart understood that this was the effect of the formation, and the Mantra Tree's large formation had 1,024 second-order sub-formations, all of which were of the illusion type. The intention was very clear, it was only hoped to trap the enemy, but did not intend to use this formation to launch an attack.
Zhang Chong's mind stirred, and the trees in front of him began to decrease at a visible speed. One by one, the tall trees that pierced the clouds slowly turned transparent and then disappeared.
On the ground, as if it had been plowed, appeared a series of marks, while only the tree where Zhang Chong was standing had scattered an even more emerald green color. That greenery penetrated directly into people's hearts, making them feel like they were bathing in endless spring breeze, cool and refreshing beyond compare.
On this tree, one after another, emerald green fruits appeared.
The full appearance of Manjusri's tree was revealed little by little under the gaze of astonishment and admiration after the efficacy of the array had been dispelled.
Everyone trapped in the formation was also greatly shocked by this change, and they soon discovered each other's existence, reassembled, and finally came to Zhang Chong's face.
However, in just a short while, most of the trees in this forest had disappeared, leaving only nearly a hundred trees with fruit. Zhang Chong recognized that these fruits were what he had picked from the forest to fill his stomach. The combination of reality and illusion was such that only these nearly a hundred trees were real, while the other thousands of trees were all illusory arrays created by the sound of Brahma.
Among the nearly hundred trees, the Bodhi tree stands out even more, its lush greenery is so vibrant that it emits a faint green aura around it.
And the people who reassembled, upon hearing Zhang Chong and them explain the situation clearly, were also shocked. They had been trapped in the formation for more than half a year, spending their time in solitude, and had already thought of no way to get out.
However, in the end it was Zhang Chong who broke through this formation and led them out of the predicament.
"Zhang Chong's younger brother has a unique talent, given time and opportunity, he will surely make a name for himself in this world." Bai Li said with sincerity.
Zhang Chong didn't hesitate either, and happily accepted it. After that, he sent the Mantra Tree into the Xuanji Ring, and only then did he say,
"Since we've settled this, let's move forward and explore further."
After finishing speaking, he walked forward.
