Cultivation is just so scientific!-Chapter 225 - 159 Formation Setup
Chapter 225: Chapter 159 Formation Setup
Li Shiming was unaware of the events unfolding on Seven Star Island, for during his descent, he had already thrown out all thirty-six array flags.
By the time his feet touched the ground, he found himself at the center of a formation.
With a flick of his fingers, six mid-grade spirit stones were sent into the formation’s nodes.
Since no spiritual veins existed here, the battle formation he was about to employ couldn’t be sustained by the spiritual energy in the void.
As the six mid-grade spirit stones were placed into the formation, the thirty-six array flags disappeared with a flash of light, and a grand formation emerged beside him.
This was the ‘Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation,’ a defensive formation of astounding power.
Cultivators who recognized the formation were all momentarily taken aback; this was not an array done with an array plate, but a true arrangement using array flags that required calculating environmental variables on one’s own.
And the complex spiritual power environment created by the two Golden Core cultivators was not something the Array Formation Starlight Sea could compute the data for in a short time; without the data, it was impossible to arrange the formation.
Even a high-level Array Master would struggle to rapidly establish the ‘Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation’ in such an environment as Li Shiming did.
Once the ‘Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation’ was up, Li Shiming felt much more at ease, at least placing himself in an invincible position.
Upon hearing that formations could be employed in this operation, he had prepared suitable formations for battle.
As he was not lacking in spirit stones, he had made many array flags, which could be combined at will when needed, allowing him to arrange most formations.
Of course, all these array flags were made of first-grade formation materials, which had their limitations in terms of effect.
But the ‘Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation’ laid out by thirty-six array flags was definitely not something a Qi Refining cultivator could break through, unless they used talismans.
“Brother He, why don’t you join the formation!” Li Shiming invited He Chuan after setting up the ‘Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation’.
“Since Junior Li has invited me, I would surely follow!” He Chuan was not polite, knowing the risks of this battle, and with a flash, he stepped into the formation.
Li Shiming then looked towards Shang Haoquan. Though he said nothing, the invitation in his eyes was very obvious.
“Thank you!” Shang Haoquan didn’t hesitate at all; the impressive ‘Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation’ was plain to see, and his figure too entered the formation.
In a brief moment, the battle began.
The battle between cultivators was not like that of armies with their attention to formation, mainly because cultivators moved too swiftly, each cultivator’s speed varied, and fighting in formation could actually hinder those who excelled in agile combat.
Thus, at the onset of battle, all Qi Refining Cultivators paired off and went at each other.
Three Qi Refining Cultivators charged towards Li Shiming, making it clear that the Beishu cultivators also had a planned assignment of combat targets.
Even with the formation present, it didn’t affect the momentum of the three Qi Refining cultivators.
“Junior Li, these cultivators seem excessively strong!” said He Chuan, his brows slightly furrowed as he spoke softly.
Safely within the protection of the formation, he had time to observe the battles of the other cultivators.
Almost upon first contact, the Qi Refining cultivators of the seven sects were overwhelmed and outmatched.
The Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators didn’t use any special techniques but completely overpowered with stronger abilities, in terms of magic artifact control, and application of spiritual power, they proved significantly more formidable.
It was not only He Chuan who noticed this; the Golden Core Elders of Seven Star Island also saw it.
“It turns out the Beishu cultivators have much more profound foundations than us!” Elder Zhuo of the Demon Spirit Sect shook his head and sighed.
“How vast is Beishu, how numerous its population, and not to mention its resource output, it’s natural for it to be stronger than our seven sects. But I didn’t expect their Qi Refining Cultivators to suppress ours, whom we’ve cultivated so carefully!” Elder Gong said with a wry smile.

The land occupied by the seven sects, although referred to as a continent by the sects, was, in fact, just a designation they gave to it themselves.
In the perception of others, the land held by the seven sects was known as Sky Sea Island; indeed, it was just a rather large island.
Therefore, other than the higher-ups of the seven sects, neither books nor maps referred to the name Sky Sea Island.
This self-aggrandizement seemed somewhat pretentious, yet it was born of necessity; Sky Sea Island was separated from the mainland by a perilous sea, making contacts extremely scarce.
Even if one became aware of the outside world, escaping Sky Sea Island was virtually impossible.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Beishu cultivators had made it to Sky Sea Island; if Beishu hadn’t become unlivable, who would have braved the dangers to leave a land of plenty and come to this impoverished place known as Sky Sea Island.
Moreover, the price paid by the Beishu cultivators was not small; merely for scouting the path, they lost a Golden Core Sword Cultivator who was their strongest in the Golden Core Realm.
And along the way, even with Yun Xingyi paving a relatively safe route, they still suffered considerable losses.
“Brother Yin, we should let the Qi Refining cultivators join the formation together; otherwise, they’ll stand no chance against the Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators!” Elder Gong told Elder Yin.
“Brother Yin, the overall situation takes precedence. Besides, if our other Qi Refining Cultivators fall, even Li Shiming’s formation will have a hard time holding up,” Elder Sheng also reminded softly.
Elder Yin fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
Li Shiming operated the ‘Inverted Nine Palace Trigram Formation’ with ease, keeping the three attacking Beishu Qi Refining Cultivators at bay.
“Brothers, this formation is capable of outward attacks; feel free to use your spells or magic artifacts!” he said to the two brothers who were apparently just watching by his side.
“This good, huh?” exclaimed He Chuan as his eyes brightened, and immediately, a small hammer appeared beside him and flew out.
