Chapter 1189 Air Defense Formation

"We in the Eastern Nine Regions will also put aside our prejudices and work together with all of you fellow Taoists to keep the enemy out." Zhang Xuan also expressed his opinion.

"Okay," Donghua Shangzun nodded with satisfaction, "I feel relieved after hearing what you two said."

Zhang Xuan asked again: "Shangzun Donghua, besides destroying these strongholds, do we have any other countermeasures? After all, the foreign forces are very cunning, and there is no guarantee that they will not continue to deploy nodes in other places."

After hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.

After all, areas such as the Land of Chaos, the Chaoxi Sea, and the Great Wilderness Ancient Forest are too large.

The power of a few gods alone may not be enough to complete the search, and the foreign forces may not necessarily establish transmission nodes in these places.

Donghua Shangzun nodded, his expression solemn: "Fellow Daoist Zhang is right. In addition to destroying the stronghold, we also need to arrange a backup plan, just in case. This backup plan is to set up an "air defense formation" within the boundary membrane of the Great Wilderness Realm. Even if the foreign forces break through the boundary membrane, this formation can block them from entering the Great Wilderness Realm."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall showed surprise.

The East Sea Divine Rhino frowned and said, "Supreme Lord Donghua, to set up a formation of this scale, the materials and manpower required are probably enormous. Although our major forces have a deep foundation, it may be difficult to gather so many resources in a short period of time. And is there really such a magnificent formation in this world?"

Lord Donghua waved his hand, and an ancient battle formation diagram appeared in front of everyone.

"I'm sure all of you fellow Taoists know that tens of thousands of years ago, a meteorite hundreds of miles long passed through the boundary membrane from the void realm and fell right into my Donghua Treasure Territory. This air defense formation is a large-scale complex formation. It was obtained from this meteorite from outer space. It is of the fifth-grade upper grade."

Everyone's eyes were focused on the ancient array diagram. The densely packed lines of the array seemed to have some kind of mysterious rhythm.

For a moment, the hall was completely silent except for the sound of heavy breathing.

Fifth-rank formation master Piaomiao Zhenren was surprised and said, "A fifth-rank, top-grade large-scale complex formation... This level of formation is simply unheard of!"

His voice trembled slightly, full of disbelief.

Dayan Divine Venerable was also shocked. He touched his chin with his hand and exclaimed in amazement: "Wow, got it from a meteorite from outer space? This luck is too incredible! If this is really set up, how terrifying will the power be!"

As a half-step fifth-level formation master, Zhang Xuan could naturally see the exquisiteness and profundity of this large-scale complex air defense formation. If it could be successfully arranged, it could even achieve the effect of a sixth-level formation.

However, Zhang Xuan seemed to have thought of something, and frowned as he said, "Even if there is such a wonderful formation diagram, in order to refine this fifth-grade upper-grade large-scale complex formation, materials and high-level formation masters are still a big problem. We only have one fifth-grade lower-grade formation master in the East Nine Regions, and as far as I know, there is no fifth-grade formation master in the Chaoxi Sea Region. Who can lead the formation masters to refine this air defense formation?"

His words were filled with deep worry, causing several gods around him to nod in agreement.

Donghua Shangzun's expression remained calm. He slowly swept his eyes over the crowd and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang is right. This formation is extremely difficult to refine. We will talk about collecting materials for the formation later. As for high-level formation masters, this is the focus of what I will talk about next."

He paused for a moment, and continued, "To be honest, I am a fifth-level mid-grade formation master. With me as the leader, I can draw five fifth-level formation masters, a thousand fourth-level formation masters, and ten thousand third-level formation masters from various major incarnation forces. With everyone's combined strength, we will surely be able to successfully refine this formation."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace.

No one expected that Lord Donghua was actually a fifth-rank mid-grade formation master, he was very well hidden.

If it weren't for the invasion from outside, it wouldn't have been possible to blow it up.

What made everyone even more distressed was that in order to refine a large-scale fifth-grade top-grade complex formation, so many high-level formation masters had to be drawn from various forces.

The East Sea Divine Rhino could not help but say, "With such a large-scale withdrawal of array masters, how will the daily defense and array maintenance of each force be handled? This will have a significant impact on our own strength!"

His face was full of worry. After all, there were no fifth-level formation masters in the Chaoxi Sea. This transfer meant that they would be in a situation where no one was available for high-level formations.

Zhang Xuan also said with some doubt: "Supreme Lord Donghua, although so many formation masters are being transferred for the safety of the Great Wilderness, the various forces will inevitably have some concerns. Not to mention that fifth-level formation masters are already rare, fourth-level and third-level formation masters are also the backbone of various forces. If they are suddenly transferred, it may affect the operation of many affairs."

There is only one fifth-rank low-grade formation master, Piaomiao Zhenren, in the Eastern Nine Regions. He usually has to refine a fifth-rank spirit gathering formation. If he is transferred out, the Eastern Nine Regions will have no spirit gathering formation available.

But thinking of the threat from foreign forces, he was also well aware of the importance of this air defense formation and was caught in a dilemma.

Dayan Divine Venerable scratched his head and said, "Supreme Venerable Donghua, your request is a bit high! Among us, there is only one fifth-level formation master among the independent cultivators, and there are even fewer fourth-level and third-level ones."

Just as everyone was discussing this, the Great Saint Lord of Beixuan Treasure Territory, who had been silent all this time, stood up and said:

"Everyone, now that foreign forces are pressing in, the Great Wilderness is in danger. This air defense formation is our last line of defense, and it is related to life and death. Although withdrawing formation masters will bring temporary difficulties to various forces, compared with the safety of the entire Great Wilderness, these difficulties are nothing. We should abandon distractions and fully cooperate with Supreme Donghua. My Beixuan Treasure Territory is willing to take the lead in responding, withdrawing the only fifth-level formation master, and provide 80 fourth-level formation masters and 500 third-level formation masters to contribute to the refining of the formation."

The words of the Great Lord of Beixuan Treasure Territory were so powerful that the hall suddenly became quiet.

Although everyone still had concerns in their hearts, they were also touched by the words of Beixuan Baoyu Huashen.

Zhang Xuan thought to himself, if Beixuan Treasure Territory could be so decisive, how could Dongjiu Territory retreat?

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said loudly: "What the Great Saint Lord Beixuan said is absolutely right. Although my East Nine Regions are poor in cultivation resources and lack of talent in formation, we are willing to cooperate with all our strength and transfer our only fifth-level formation master to provide 2000 fourth-level formation masters and third-level formation masters to do our part to protect the Great Wilderness Realm."

Dayan Divine Venerable looked at the Great Saint Lord of Beixuan Treasure Domain, then looked at Zhang Xuan, and suddenly laughed: "Okay! Since both of you said so, we casual cultivators can't let down the chain. Our casual cultivator alliance is willing to contribute this only fifth-level formation master. As for how many fourth-level formation masters and third-level formation masters we can gather, no ambiguity!"
