It takes a hundred years to set up one array node. Wouldn't it take forever to complete the entire protective boundary array?
Gu Lan couldn't accept that.
However, he also understood that cultivators' perception of ti differed from that of ordinary people. Demon Clan, especially, had long lifespans and didn't mind this tifra.
But Gu Lan did mind. He didn't want to wait until Simu grew up into a young woman while the defenses of their holand in the mortal realm weren't completed with a hundred lines of defense.
So, he called all the Demon Clan masters together.
He sought their advice and asked for a good solution.
In short, it needed to be the shortest ti, the most efficient, and the highest completion rate.
"Elder is so strict!"
"This must be a test from Elder!"
"No wonder Elder has such a powerful level of formation skills at such a young age. He must always demand this standard of himself! We should follow Elder's example!"
For a while, the eyes of all the Demon Clan formation masters looking at Gu Lan changed.
They furrowed their brows and began to think hard.
Before long, a formation master suggested that they could first set up a conversion array.
By converting the water attribute spiritual energy into the other four types, the efficiency of the formation could be greatly improved.
This way, they could save half the ti.
Gu Lan was sowhat pleasantly surprised by this suggestion, though his expression remained unchanged as he nodded slightly.
Sure enough, he needed to push these Demon Clan masters so that they could work harder.
"Elder, you seem indifferent, so you must have already thought of this!"
"It seems that Elder wants us to pool our efforts to test our level of formation skills."
"The next thod, I must co up with it first!"
The Demon Clan masters worked even harder to think.
Soon after, ideas such as the Deep Sea Gathering Spirit Array, the Soul Locking Array, and the Sea Break Array erged one after another.
If all were implented, the ti could be reduced to just over a year.
"Not bad!"
"Quite creative, but it's still not enough. One year is still too long."
Gu Lan nodded lightly, showing no joy on his face. His voice even carried a hint of coldness.
In fact, he could barely accept a year's ti.
In case these guys couldn't finish the layout, he could lend a hand when he had the ti and finish it within a month.
However, the Demon Clan masters didn't know what Gu Lan was thinking and thought he was genuinely dissatisfied.
"It's over!"
"It seems that our plan still didn't pass Elder's test!"
"No, after finally coming to the mortal realm and witnessing such top-notch formation thods, we must not give up!"
This ti, even the nearby Dwarf Demon Clan master of artifact forging paid attention.
He didn't understand formations as well as those formation masters, but he wasn't weak either.
The biggest difficulty in arranging the formation in Deep Sea Prison, apart from the single type of spiritual energy, was the terrifying water pressure of the deep sea.
This could be compensated for by using the Sea Break Array, transforming this area into a land-like space.
However, setting up the Sea Break Array required a large amount of precious materials and cultivators of substantial strength. They were not lacking in materials, but in cultivators.
They were embarrassed to ask Gu Lan for help in personnel matters, but only relying on their few numbers would greatly increase the ti spent.
It would be great if they could bring more manpower from Demon Realm!
Thinking like this, a bright idea ca to his mind!
He thought of a way to supplent manpower, puppetry!
The Dwarf Demon Clan master of artifact forging showed a pleased expression and quickly released all the puppets he had refined.
"One, two, three... eleven puppets can shorten the ti by another half year!"
"No! This definitely won't pass Elder's test. We must further shorten the ti!"
The Dwarf Demon Clan master of artifact forging's mind flashed again.
He recalled the Ocean Clan flesh puppets he had just seen outside Dragon Palace, whose souls had been drawn away by the extraterrestrial entities.
If he could refine all those Ocean Clan bodies into labor puppets, it wouldn't take much ti at all!
Recycling waste was common in Demon Realm, but he needed to ask Gu Lan if it would work in the mortal realm.
So, he spoke out his idea.
"To all of you, feel free to use the bodies of those traitors!"
"Those who defected in battle are unworthy to be part of our Myriad Clans of East Sea!"
"After their deaths, their bodies can still be used to set up the protective array in the mortal realm, which can also alleviate their sins from their lives!"
"If you lack manpower, Myriad Clans of East Sea is willing to lend a hand to the mortal realm!"
Before Gu Lan could speak, the chief of the rmaid Clan imdiately stood up and agreed.
At this mont, she recalled the scenes of those traitors defecting and still carried a righteous indignation.
She had been listening for a long ti now.
She knew that Gu Lan and the others ca here to set up defensive formations in the mortal realm.
Such righteousness—if it weren't for the matters she had to attend to in her clan, she would have eagerly co to help.
If there were no such matters, the bodies of those traitors would have been sacrificed to the sea, comforting the souls of the fallen Ocean Clan warriors in this battle array.
"Elder!"
"I am Mingyue, a friend of Dragon Clan Princess Ao Qin'er."
"Elder has old ties with Dragon Sovereign and great favor to Myriad Clans of East Sea. If Elder gives orders, Myriad Clans of East Sea will surely obey!" Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
Chief Mingyue of the rmaid Clan was excited, about to kneel in a grand salute before Gu Lan.
However, a gentle force lifted her body.
"No need for that."
"The extraterrestrial entities are not enemies of Myriad Clans of East Sea but enemies of the mortal realm."
"I ca to East Sea thanks to the guidance of Dragon Sovereign, preventing those evil beings from causing great harm."
With a slight raise of his right hand, Gu Lan used his true qi to gently lift Mingyue's soft body.
Since she didn't mind and even wanted to lend a hand, he didn't mind either.
After a brief inquiry with the Demon Clan masters, Gu Lan estimated that with sufficient manpower, they could complete the core array nodes in about ten days.
He was quite satisfied with this tifra.
Thus, after obtaining Chief Mingyue's consent, Gu Lan decided to implent the proposal of the Dwarf Demon Clan master.
The sealing in Deep Sea Prison had been completed, so Gu Lan didn't linger. He brought the Dwarf Demon Clan master to the East Sea Dragon Palace.
At this mont, all those Ocean Clan traitors, whose souls had been extracted, were gathered outside the Dragon Palace.
"Very good!"
"These bodies, after being transford by the evil beings, are more suitable for making puppets than ordinary bodies."
"Give a day, and I can refine them all into puppets."
Having received Gu Lan's permission, the Dwarf Demon Clan master imdiately released his eleven puppets and began working directly.
anwhile, Gu Lan followed Chief Mingyue of the rmaid Clan to prepare to enter the Dragon Palace.
Nowadays, there were no longer any Dragon Clan mbers in the East Sea Dragon Palace. Even those shrimp soldiers and crab generals had been corroded by the evil beings. Although the evil energy had been removed, their souls were weak and it was difficult for them to survive.
Gu Lan was powerless in this regard.
Even the Revival Pills would not be effective in such circumstances.
Gu Lan continued walking forward and stepped into the Crystal Palace.
The mont he stepped into the Crystal Palace, a brilliant golden light suddenly rose from the Dragon Sovereign's throne!
It was the Dragon Sovereign Order!
