Hearing Han Mang's words, Wei Chen snapped out of his thoughts and quickly asked, "If you have any ideas, please share them. We can strategize together."
Han Mang's expression was serious as he squinted his eyes and said, "It is absolutely impossible to block the sun; that is beyond human capability. Even the strongest among us would find it impossible. For us, what we can do is merely to relocate and protect this Magic Stone Space as much as possible."
"Relocate? What do you mean by that?" Wei Chen inquired.
Han Mang replied, "We can transfer the sun here to another space, can't we?"
"Old man, isn't that a bit too ambitious? Can we really manage to relocate the sun?" Wei Chen's face showed helplessness as he thought to himself that this old man might be losing his mind; his suggestion was essentially no solution at all.
Han Mang took out paper and pen from his pocket and spread them on the ground, beginning to sketch.
Soon, a preliminary formation appeared before Wei Chen's eyes.
"I know a formation whose rank is unclear, but its function is to transfer. It can transfer all forms of energy. What we can do is not to move the sun within this Magic Stone Space but to transfer the heat it emits."
"Transfer heat?" Wei Chen's eyes lit up; if it was just about transferring heat, it might actually be feasible!
"Exactly, transferring heat! We can establish countless transfer formations to move the heat away from here. Once your strength is sufficient, with this formation, it might even be possible to directly transfer the sun to another space. But for now, our ability only allows us to transfer heat," Han Mang explained.
"Old man, how much area can such a formation transfer heat from?"
"A radius of one hundred meters."
"Alright then."
Wei Chen's expression fell back into disappointment; just one hundred meters? The entire Magic Stone Space was so vast! How many formations would be needed? Conservatively estimating, it would be several hundred million!
Han Mang's plan was completely scrapped.
Han Mang understood Wei Chen's expression, and his own face turned extremely gloomy. The vast area was proving to be a hindrance; even with the entire Soul World’s Formation Masters coming to help, it was impossible to set up that kind of formation within the Magic Stone Space in just two months.
This was not some low-level formation; on the contrary, its grade was uncertain, but it was definitely advanced, as evidenced by its complexity.
The two fell into disappointment once again.
“Old man, is there any possibility that with our current strength, we could set up a formation to transfer the Nine Suns out? If the formation is identical, what we lack is merely power. Is there anything that can infinitely enhance the power of the formation?”
Upon hearing this, Han Mang nodded slightly and said, “In theory, it is possible. For example, if we use the highest-grade Tenth-Grade High-Level Soul Stones on each Formation Base and sprinkle Divine Beast Blood along every line of the formation, we could amplify its strength. This is just one direction; if we can find better amplifying materials, we could use something even stronger. In short, the better the materials for setting up the formation, the more powerful it will be, which can compensate for our lack of strength to a certain extent. Whether it will succeed in the end, I cannot guarantee. If we are going to do this, we should act sooner rather than later; time is of the essence as the suns here are growing stronger.”
Hearing Han Mang's words, Wei Chen felt a surge of excitement. “We can use a more refined energy body instead of Soul Stones. And for the blood along the formation lines, instead of just using Divine Beast Blood, we should mix several types of Divine Beast Blood together after refining them into pure blood.”
As Wei Chen spoke, he thought about his Spatial Martial Soul and wondered if he could utilize it as well.
When operating the formation, he and Han Mang's strength would naturally be insufficient. Bringing Gu Yuehong and Ni Junlin along with Yan Qiqi might strengthen their efforts even more. Especially with Demon Lotus’s power—now that was true strength!
Han Mang nodded vigorously. “It’s worth a try!”
“Alright then, let’s head out first.”
Once outside the Magic Stone Space, Wei Chen immediately sought out Pharmaceutical Sovereign. He gathered a large amount of Dragon Blood, Phoenix Blood, Xuan Gui Blood, and even some blood from the Seven-Colored Devouring Python provided by Ni Junlin. He handed these over to Pharmaceutical Sovereign and urged him to refine and purify them as quickly as possible.
Returning to the Magic Stone Space, Wei Chen shouted fiercely, “Demon Lotus Emperor! Where are you? Get out here now!”
“Damn it! If you don’t come out soon, this Magic Stone Space will really become a dead zone!”
“Quit lurking around! If you’re a man, come out quickly!”
Wei Chen shouted with all his might, calling out deep within his heart, but the Demon Lotus Emperor remained silent.
"Damn it, I've found a solution, but I need your help. Stop pretending to be deaf and come out quickly!"
"What? You found a way?"
As soon as Wei Chen finished speaking, the voice of the Demon Lotus Emperor echoed in his ears. In the blink of an eye, the Demon Lotus Emperor appeared before him.
This time, the Demon Lotus Emperor looked significantly different from when Wei Chen last saw him.
He seemed more real now; his body no longer appeared as a gray mist but had a tangible presence.
"You've solidified your body?" Wei Chen asked in astonishment.
"Not exactly, just a little bit. Now, stop beating around the bush and tell me what you’ve thought of."
Wei Chen shot a disdainful glance at the Demon Lotus Emperor and recounted the situation regarding Han Mang and their negotiation.
The Demon Lotus Emperor's eyes lit up. "That's a good plan; it's worth a try. When the time comes, I'll join you to activate the formation. We'll be stronger than anyone else."
"Aren't you a Soul Body? How can you join in?"
"I'll return to your body and temporarily control the Demon Lotus Heart. Using the Demon Lotus Heart to activate the formation will maximize its effect. As for what happens before that, you'll have to handle it yourselves and strengthen the formation as much as possible!"
"Alright!" Wei Chen nodded and added, "I need something similar to Soul Stones that can be condensed from the energy here—exactly one thousand of them."
"Those are called Spirit Stones, you country bumpkin," the Demon Lotus Emperor scoffed at Wei Chen but nodded in agreement. Absorbing spiritual energy to condense one thousand Spirit Stones was not difficult for the current Demon Lotus Emperor. However, in order to preserve the hope of the Magic Stone Space, he would do whatever it took.
"How many do you need?"
"Ten."
"Alright, we should set up the formation, it’s about time for ten."
...
The Pharmaceutical Sovereign worked tirelessly to condense his essence blood. In his lifetime, he had never seen so much powerful blood. For an alchemist, having such abundant raw materials to indulge in was a blessing, even if it meant working overtime with little sleep.
Wei Chen and Han Mang hid within the Magic Stone Space, gradually setting up the formation. The formation wasn’t very large, but its intricacy was absolutely on par with a Tenth-Rank Advanced Formation.
With hope in sight, Wei Chen was full of vigor, and Han Mang felt the same. He understood deeply that the Magic Stone Space was a vast treasure; if they could preserve it, it would be a tremendous boost to Wei Chen's future development. Han Mang even thought that with this resource, he might be able to accompany Wei Chen to the Upper Realm and learn stronger formations.
He was enamored with formations; as long as he could learn more powerful ones, he could temporarily set aside his feelings for the Peach Blossom Sect.
Thus, Old Man Han Mang's enthusiasm was no less than Wei Chen's.
Theoretically, ten was needed to complete the formation, but due to the strong determination of Wei Chen and Han Mang, they finished with just seven.
At the same time, the powerful blood condensed by the Pharmaceutical Sovereign was brought into the Magic Stone Space by Wei Chen. The Demon Lotus Emperor appeared just in time and produced a thousand spirit stones.
Han Mang did not see the Demon Lotus Emperor; he had already slipped into Wei Chen's soul.
Seeing those spirit stones, Han Mang asked in shock, "What are these?"
"Spirit stones. The purest form of energy, a million times purer than the Soul Stones from the Soul World."
After hearing Wei Chen's words, Han Mang nodded and refrained from asking further questions.
Wei Chen had many secrets; the more one tried to understand them, the more one would realize that there were countless mysteries surrounding him that could never be fully unraveled.
Wei Chen and Han Mang began to set the spirit stones into the Formation Base. They placed one hundred spirit stones at the core of the formation, which was crucial for its function. The pure blood, containing terrifying power, was smeared along the formation lines, amplifying its might.
Once everything was prepared, both Wei Chen and Han Mang couldn't help but feel anxious. All their efforts, sleepless nights, had led to this moment.
"Old man, do you think it will work? The distance between the formation and the sun is just too great."
"Distance is not an issue. This formation can infinitely shorten the distance to the sun. For us, that distance remains unchanged, but for the formation, its wonders will be different."
"Alright, when do we start?"
Han Mang looked up and said, "Let's wait a few more hours until the sun is about to set below the horizon. Theoretically, at that time, the sun's power is at its weakest."
Han Mang continued, "I don't know if that's true, but waiting a few hours won't hurt us. There's no need to rush."
Wei Chen nodded, suddenly recalling something. "In these few hours, let's set up a Soul Gathering Array around this formation to draw in the surrounding energy. Although the energy here isn't Soul Power, I believe the formation's effects will be universal for any kind of energy."
After thinking for a moment, Han Mang immediately got to work.
Wei Chen also busied himself with arranging the formation. The Soul Gathering Array wasn't difficult to set up; in fact, it could be quite simple and would be ready in no time.
Within his soul, the Demon Lotus Emperor said, "By creating this Gathering Spirit Array to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, when we activate the formation later, it will definitely enhance its power. Moreover, the more spiritual energy there is when we activate it, the stronger it will be; there’s no downside to this. The level of this formation is truly terrifying; I feel that it’s something that shouldn’t exist in your world."
The Demon Lotus Emperor sounded somewhat alarmed and transmitted a message to Wei Chen: "If this formation were aimed at me and I were lured here, even in my peak state from my previous life, I would still be transported somewhere else by this formation."
"That's so terrifying?"
"Yes, extremely terrifying. This formation is very powerful; you must remember this. If you encounter strong enemies in the future, setting up such a formation in advance can be used against them."
Wei Chen silently noted the Demon Lotus Emperor's words and remembered the formation. With the Soul Palace Army approaching, perhaps once the matters with Magic Stone Space were resolved, he could set up a similar formation within Cang Mountain?
Thinking of that possibility, Wei Chen's lips curled into a sinister smile.
Finally, the sun was about to set, and it felt as if the sun's power had indeed reached its lowest point.
"Wei Chen, when I start, I will definitely expose the identity of the Demon Lotus. What about that old man?"
"It doesn't matter. Let him see it; he's someone you can absolutely trust."
"Alright then, let's begin."
Wei Chen stepped into the center of the formation, motioning for Han Mang to stand aside and watch.
Although he felt something was off, Han Mang respected Wei Chen's decision. If he wanted to do it alone, then let him do it alone. If it failed, they could always try again.
But after a few breaths, Han Mang's eyes widened in shock, his pupils rapidly constricting as he stared intently at Wei Chen!
He saw a black lotus flower appear above Wei Chen's head!
That lotus was none other than the Destruction Demon Lotus from years ago!
