Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8336: 313-formation _1

Upon hearing Guna's response, Zhao Hai replied quickly, "That is more than enough. In that case, Martial Uncle, I shall take my leave now." Zhao Hai wasted no time and immediately moved to organize the magical formation. He was well aware of the gravity of the current situation. Even though their islands had successfully merged, the previous conflict had left the members of the Blood Massacre Sect feeling vulnerable. This sense of crisis was pervasive. The faster the defensive magical formation was established, the sooner the people would find peace of mind. Recognizing the benefits of haste, Zhao Hai was determined to begin the work at once.

Guna nodded his approval, "Very well, you may go. Actually, I should accompany you to personally inform the others. Let’s head out." He stood up, leading Zhao Hai and Yan Bei out of the courtyard and toward the exterior of the compound.

Once outside, Guna summoned the individuals responsible for the island's administration. Moments later, over a dozen people gathered before him. These men were all in the Refinement Realm and of advanced age; having reached the limit of their potential to become Island Masters, they served instead as Elders in charge of daily operations. Although Guna held the title of Island Master, these Elders managed the island's affairs.

The group saluted Guna upon their arrival. Waving his hand, Guna said, "Enough with the formalities. Let me introduce Zhao Hai, though I doubt he needs an introduction. I have called you here to outline our next steps. Zhao Hai is tasked with rebuilding the island-protecting formation. I have given my full consent, so you are to cooperate with him entirely. Is that understood?"

The Elders voiced their agreement, though their eyes remained fixed on Zhao Hai. They had heard tales of him but had never met him in person. Hearing that such a young man was to restore their vital protective formation filled them with uncertainty. They feared he might lack the necessary skill. An island-protecting formation was no mere decoration; it was the island's most critical defense. If the formation was flawed, the residents would be the first to pay the price.

Furthermore, Zhao Hai appeared exceptionally young and lacked a powerful aura. Could he truly handle a mountain-protecting formation? Sensing their hesitation, Guna’s expression darkened as he barked, "Listen well. Your only task is to assist Zhao Hai. He has already restored the defensive formation of Blood Wind Island. His mastery of magical formations is far beyond your comprehension. In this project, his word is final. Treat his orders as if they came directly from me. If anyone dares to obstruct him, do not expect mercy. Yan Bei will be monitoring the progress. Any recklessness will be dealt with severely."

A chill ran through the Elders at Guna’s stern warning. They quickly bowed, saying, "Yes, Island Lord. We will provide our full cooperation." None dared to cross Guna. Although Guna had been forced to retreat to headquarters during the last conflict, his reputation remained intact. Escaping from Bai Xin’s grasp was viewed as a feat of glory rather than a disgrace. Rumors even suggested Guna’s Cultivation was nearly on par with the eight Great Elders. Under such pressure, their doubts were silenced.

Guna nodded before turning back to Zhao Hai. "Little Hai, I am placing this in your hands. You have full authority. We possess little knowledge of formations, so the safety of Blood Bone Island rests with you. If you require anything at all, simply ask. Even if it is not on hand, I will find a way to procure it for you immediately."

After Zhao Hai acknowledged him, Guna returned to his courtyard. Once he was gone, the Elders turned their gaze toward Zhao Hai. He met their eyes with a calm smile. "I am Zhao Hai. I apologize for the trouble I will be causing the Elders during this period," he said with humility. He knew they wouldn't dare cause trouble, but he saw no reason to act like a tyrant using Guna’s authority. Putting on airs was not his way.

The Elders felt a wave of relief at Zhao Hai’s polite demeanor. Their internal discomfort faded, and they remained attentive. Zhao Hai continued, "Elders, since this concerns the defense of Blood Bone Island, I will speak plainly. Please organize your men to excavate all the existing formation talismans from the original island defenses. This includes the talismans from Blood Bone Island and all the other merged islands. Can this be done?"

The Elders nodded in unison. One of them replied, "That is manageable. While many lives were lost, the Sect still possesses the schematics for the island-protecting formations. Once we locate the positions using the drawings, we can retrieve them without issue."

Zhao Hai nodded. "Excellent, I appreciate your help. I will survey the island's current geography with Senior Brother Yan Bei to design a formation perfectly suited for this terrain. Please begin." The Elders departed to gather their teams, while Zhao Hai and Yan Bei took to the sky to map the island's features.

Blood Bone Island, formed by several merged landmasses, was massive and possessed a unique silhouette. It resembled a charging wild boar, complete with a head, tail, and limbs. Despite the strange topography, the land was suitable for his plans.

Upon returning to the center of the island, Zhao Hai reflected for a moment before speaking to Yan Bei. "It appears the Six Harmonies Formation is the best choice for Blood Bone Island. It is a powerful array. Big Brother Yan, please return to Island Lord Guna and request six Dark Souls. Also, ask for six magic tools—those from the Ghost Sect will suffice. Since they are of no use to us, we might as well utilize them as formation anchors. I will go check if the Elders have finished gathering the talismans."

While Yan Bei went to fulfill the request, the Elders returned with the salvaged talismans. Zhao Hai inspected the collection and nodded. "This is a sufficient number. The array should be finished in a matter of days. You may all rest for now. I will draft a blueprint and distribute it. Once you have it, follow my markings to dig the necessary pits for the talismans, and then we shall begin the installation."

The group agreed, and Zhao Hai waited in the city. Yan Bei soon returned with the spirits and magical weapons. Zhao Hai examined the six items with satisfaction. He then retreated to a quiet room with Yan Bei to draft the map, meticulously marking every coordinate.

Having memorized the terrain during his flight, Zhao Hai accounted for every valley and peak. He spent five days painstakingly adjusting the formation layout to match the specific talismans and geography. When the blueprint was finally complete, he scrutinized it one last time to ensure perfection.

Zhao Hai summoned Yan Bei and the Elders, providing them with copies of the map. He instructed them to dig the holes for the talismans exactly as marked. He emphasized the importance of the specific depths and locations. The Elders, being cultivators, found the manual labor easy and finished the task quickly.

After a thorough inspection, Zhao Hai corrected a few errors where the depth or positioning was off. Once satisfied, he personally placed each talisman into its designated pit. He forbade the workers from burying them yet, as final calibrations were required.

He proceeded to set the main array core and the supporting items. At the heart of the formation, he planted a small flag. With everything in place, Zhao Hai began the activation sequence, shouting, "Formation!" He performed the Inner Binding Seal, channeling it into the primary array eye. The talismans across the island began to glow, shifting slightly as they synchronized. When the central flag began to vibrate and move on its own, Zhao Hai signaled that the adjustment was complete. "Bury them now," he commanded.

Next, Zhao Hai installed the Dark Souls into the six secondary eyes and the main core. He refined the spirits alongside the suppressing artifacts. As the central banner shrank to a height of one meter, he retrieved it. A quick test confirmed the formation was fully operational. Carrying the control banner and a Jade Slip, he went to find Guna.

Guna received them in the living room. Seeing them enter, he smiled. "Little Hai, how proceeds the formation? Do you require more materials? Do not hesitate to ask." Though he suspected the work was nearly done, his anxiety remained. He was prepared to provide anything needed to secure the island.

Zhao Hai smiled back. "Martial Uncle, the formation is complete. This flag controls the array, and this Jade Slip contains the operating instructions. Please, take a look." He handed the items to Guna. Having gained experience from his work on Blood Wind Island, he had completed this project even more efficiently.

Startled, Guna took the banner and the Jade Slip. "It is finished already? Let me see." He immersed his consciousness into the Jade Slip. After reviewing the details, he looked at Zhao Hai with wide eyes. "Can this formation truly achieve such power?"

Guna was stunned. The Jade Slip described a Six Harmonies Formation that far surpassed the strength of the original Blood Bone Island defenses. He was shocked not only by its potency but also by how remarkably simple it was to manage.
