An hour later.
Mu Jinyu waited for Gu Xiyan and the others to finish recuperating. Without further delay in Luo City, they set off for home during the night.
Meanwhile, as they boarded the private jet bound for Jiangnan Province.
At the manor where the Dan Pavilion was located.
A group from the Dragon King Hall stormed in, beginning the process of eliminating the remnants of the Dan Pavilion and taking over.
From then on, the Dan Pavilion, which had once styled itself as the second major organization in Huaxia and even harbored ambitions to replace the Dragon King Hall, ceased to exist.
Back at Yinlong Mountain.
It was deep into the night.
Mu Jinyu told Gu Xiyan and the others to return to their rooms to rest.
He himself took the Tai Sui Stone out from the Shennong Cauldron and began to work overnight to perfect the Defensive Formation and convert it into a truly autonomously operating Mountain-Protecting Array.
After a whole night of setting up.
"Hum!!"
As a hint of dawn began to appear in the east.
As the morning sun began to gently spill over Yinlong Mountain, a faint golden energy shield visibly enveloped the vast mountain, resembling an inverted sea bowl.
The gentle breeze that blew did not make the golden energy shield appear fragile and trembling with the wind, instead, it stood firm, exuding an unshakable robustness.
"Clap Clap!"
Mu Jinyu clapped his hands twice to dust them off, tiredly stood up, faced the morning sun, and lazily stretched, "Finally, it's all done."
"Rumble!!!"
As his words fell.
The various arrays linked together to form the Mountain-Protecting Array finally began to unleash their true power. Whether it was the Spirit Attraction Formation, the Spirit Gathering Array, or the Spirit Locking Formation, their strength was incomparable to when they had just been completed half a month ago!
Suddenly, massive amounts of nature's spiritual energy crazily surged toward Yinlong Mountain from all directions.
Just like the saying goes, trickling streams form rivers and rivers flow into the sea, never returning.
In an instant, the concentration of nature's spiritual energy within Yinlong Mountain increased tenfold compared to when the Spirit Attraction and Spirit Gathering Arrays were just completed a half month ago, and now it had multiplied several more times!
Yinlong Mountain, which initially had a not-so-great cultivation environment due to the broken dragon vein, had now completely transformed into a Heaven Cave Blessed Land!
"Breath...in..."
Mu Jinyu felt the surging, almost solid-like spiritual energy, feeling extremely comfortable, spread his arms wide, as if embracing the world!
"Very well, let's test the effects of the Slaughter Array and the Defensive Formation now."
As he spoke, Mu Jinyu's divine sense surged forth, connecting to the core of the Mountain-Protecting Array. He formed a sword gesture with one hand and activated the Nine Heavens Mysterious Kill Sword Formation representing the Slaughter Array!
"Clang clang clang!!"
In an instant, the sound of swords echoed nonstop.
One could see the nine mountain peaks that encircled the entire Secluded Valley, where, in a flash, thousands of grimly sharp swords appeared, suspended in the sky, obscuring the sun, darkening the skies momentarily!
The chilling sword qi permeated the entirety of Yinlong Mountain, making the ever-spring-like environment due to the Mountain-Protecting Array start to carry a hint of chill.
"Not bad, the power has increased several times. Now, I reckon that warriors in the middle stage of the Divine Realm Fifth and Sixth Layers who dare to cause trouble in my Yinlong Mountain will be directly obliterated to bits!"
Mu Jinyu looked up at the sword sweeping through the area and the winds stirring the clouds, and said with great satisfaction.
However, he still felt a bit of regret.
Because the dragon vein of Yinlong Mountain had not been completely repaired. Otherwise, if the Mountain-Protecting Array fully integrated with the geomancy of Yinlong Mountain when he had activated the Nine Heavens Mysterious Kill Sword Formation just now, not only would there have been the scene of pervasive sword shadows all around, but the nine peaks rising like swords into the sky would have also burst forth with the most terrifying sharpness!
"Release!"
Having understood how much the Great Killing Formation had enhanced its power, Mu Jinyu changed the sword technique in his hand.
Immediately, the myriad sword shadows that had obscured even the sun in the sky gradually dissipated.
"Defensive formation, activate!"
After roughly understanding the enhancement from the Killing Formation, Mu Jinyu began to activate the defensive formation that had been set up overnight.
This defensive formation was different from the Killing Formation. The Killing Formation had been successfully established independently before the Mountain Protection Array was properly set up, whereas the defensive formation was instantly connected with the other arrays to construct the ultimate Mountain-Protecting Array.
Thus, Mu Jinyu was quite aware of the power of the Killing Formation and the enhancements it received after merging into the Mountain Protection Array, but he was not as familiar with the defensive formation, he just roughly understood that it would not be far off from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Kill Sword Formation!
As Mu Jinyu activated the Great Defense Formation.
Instantly, the energy shield that enveloped Yinlong Mountain like an upside-down ocean bowl instantly changed from pale gold to pure gold in color!
"Ha!"
Mu Jinyu let out a light shout, stomped on the ground, and his whole body suddenly soared, quickly rising to a height of one thousand meters.
Standing in the high sky, he looked down at Yinlong Mountain, which was strongly surrounded by the golden protective shield, his expression calm and slowly raised his hand.
"Swish!"
On Mu Jinyu's palm, a sword qi as tangible as solid material condensed, resembling a blade as thin as a cicada's wing.
With a flick of his hand, this sword qi, approximately at the power level of a Complete Energy Transformation Stage, directly slashed at the sturdy golden-yellow energy shield!
The sword qi struck the defensive formation without causing any earth-shattering noise, and the golden energy shield did not ripple or wave.
Mu Jinyu's sword qi vanished without a trace, like a clay ox entering the sea.
It appeared that the defensive capability was indeed remarkable; an attack from a Complete Energy Transformation Stage Warrior couldn't shake the shield at all.
However, Mu Jinyu did not lower his guard. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used only strength around Complete Energy Transformation Stage to test the power of the defensive formation.
Sure enough.
During what seemed like a calm process, Mu Jinyu suddenly felt a ferocious attack hurtling towards him. The force of the attack was about as strong as a full-power strike from a warrior who had just entered the Divine Realm.
"Ha!!"
Mu Jinyu shouted lightly, effortlessly neutralizing the counterattack.
"Not bad."
Mu Jinyu continued to test several more times, gradually increasing the force of his strikes to the First Layer of Divine Realm, Second Layer, and slightly higher. He dared not be reckless to avoid killing himself!
After over a dozen tests.
Mu Jinyu confirmed that no matter from which direction the attack came, the defensive shield would counterattack the assailant just like "Star Shift," drawing Qi from nature's spiritual energy to increase its power!
In simple terms, if a warrior in the Middle Stage of Divine Realm were to assault his Yinlong Mountain and attacked the defensive formation with full force, he wouldn't need to lift a finger; the assailant would die from his own attack.
Unless his initial attack was merely a probing one!
Then, there might be a chance to stay alive.
But for those who come to invade, knowing that it is a defensive formation, how many would start with a tentative attack before going all out?
All are too eager to break the protective shield, to enter the mountain and seek revenge through killing!
"Very good, with this Mountain-Protecting Array, even if Dragon King Hall truly encounters any troubles, we don't need to worry too much."
Mu Jinyu finished his tests, feeling very satisfied with the power of the defensive formation.
Using the Tai Sui Stone as the core of the defensive formation, Mu Jinyu was initially worried about whether it could manage to suppress, and if the Tai Sui's ability to counterattack could still exist.
Now proven it could exist, Mu Jinyu felt his special trip to Luo City yesterday, where he killed four warriors from the Divine Rankings, was worth it.
