Chapter 1478 Heaven’s Protection Grand Array

1478 Heaven’s Protection Grand Array

“This formation is officially known as the Heaven’s Protection Grand Array. It’s a level 6 formation that prevents any death and serious injuries as long as one remains within the formation and someone doesn’t significantly exceed the strength of its creator.” Yuan explained to the people in the room.

“For example, I can slice your throat with a sword or stab your eyes with a dagger, and you’ll be perfectly fine as long as you stay within the formation. However, you’d still experience the sensation of pain as if the injury were genuine. Of course, if you’re worried about that, I can also create a formation that can alter the amount of pain you experience.”

“The protection formation isn’t limited to weapons. From martial techniques that can cleave mountains to spiritual attacks—it can protect one from all sorts of damage. If you would like to experience its effectiveness firsthand, we already have the formation set up in this room, so you can go ahead and test it immediately.”

Hearing his words, the people in the room exchanged glances with each other. Clearly, nobody there wanted to go first and was suspicious of its reliability.

Seeing this, Chairman Lee stood up and said, “I will volunteer to go first even though I have already experienced its effectiveness firsthand.”

He retrieved a steel sword and placed it on the table.

“I don’t care who does it. Go ahead and swing that sword at me with the intention to kill me.”

“A-are you sure you want to do this, Chairman Lee? What if something goes wrong…”

“How can you put so much trust in someone with no credibility or reputation? I don’t mean to be rude, but I’ve never heard of you until today, Mister Xian.”

Everyone in the room turned to look at Yuan. It was only natural to be suspicious of someone they’ve never heard of yet claimed to be able to create level 6 formations when their best array masters are only level 2.

“I don’t blame you for doubting my abilities. It’s true that I am a nobody, and the reason you have never heard of me is that I prefer to remain low-key. I’ll be completely honest with you. I have studied formations even before Cultivation Online existed.”

“What?! How is that possible?!”

“I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but cultivation existed long before Cultivation Online existed. There are even hidden families that have been cultivating since ancient times. I am from one of these families.”

The room fell silent.

While the existence of these hidden families, such as those from Jaded Garden, remained concealed from the public eye, they were long known among society’s elite echelons.

“Why have you decided to come out of hiding to do this?” one of them suddenly asked.

Yuan shrugged, “With the entire world now aware of cultivation, there’s no longer any reason to remain hidden. I am also tired of living a secluded life.”

“What do you wish to gain from this? Fame? Wealth?”

“I don’t need any of that, nor am I asking for any payment. I am doing this simply because I find entertainment in Faction Wars, and I wish to make it even more entertaining for myself. This is purely an act of self-interest, nothing more, nothing less. With that being said, I have a favor—that you keep my identity a secret.”

After another moment of silence, one of the people there suddenly picked up the sword on the table and swung it at Chairman Lee with all of his might.

“Wha—!”

Because it happened so suddenly and without any warning, Chairman Lee was not prepared for the attack and was taken aback when he was struck in the neck with it.

The force was strong enough to send Chairman Lee flying toward the wall, slamming into it.

“Fuck! That hurt! You could’ve, at the very least, warned me before you struck!” Chairman Lee cursed at the person who struck him after coughing a little.

“Heavens… he’s actually unharmed…”

The people in the room stared at him with bewildered expressions.

“Let me try!” Another person suddenly snatched the sword and swung it at the person who had just swung at Chairman Lee.

“You fucker! Are you trying to scare me to death?!” the person who just got struck cursed loudly after getting off the floor a moment later.

Soon, everyone in the room started swinging their weapons at each other without a care in the world.

“Hahaha! Taste my blade, you bastard!”

The situation reminded Yuan of his days in the orphanage when the children would pretend to fight each other with wooden sticks as weapons.

Once they were tired of using their weapons, they started throwing their martial techniques around, quickly destroying the entire room.

Yuan didn’t interrupt them and patiently waited for them to finish.

Several minutes later, Chairman Lee and the others lay on the floor, visibly exhausted from their exertions.

“Are you guys satisfied with my formation?” Yuan asked them with a calm smile on his face.

“Very much.”

“So as long as we are inside this formation, we are essentially immortal?”

Yuan nodded, “Yes.”

“You said that someone stronger than the creator might break the formation, correct? How strong are you?”

“I will have the cultivation of a peak Spirit King when I create the formation, so unless someone reaches Spirit Sovereign, it’s impossible to break the formation.”

“Peak Spirit King?!”

They were all shocked to learn his cultivation, Chairman Lee included, as he thought Yuan was only a mere Spirit Grandmaster.

“Is there anything else we should know about the formation? What about additional functions?”

“Let me think for a bit.”

Yuan closed his eyes and asked Yu Ning.

“Well, I can make it so that the formation will automatically teleport those who have taken enough damage to ‘die’ to safety,” she said.

“That’s actually great. We won’t need to wear a badge if we can automatically remove those who take too much damage.”

Yuan opened his eyes and shared with the others about the other function.

“It can do that, too?!”

“This formation is so convenient! Is there anything it can’t do?!”

Sometime later, after sharing with each other their thoughts on the matter, Chairman Lee said to Yuan, “We will redesign all of the arenas for this change. Do you mind waiting until then to create the formations?”

“How long will that take?”

“We will halt all Faction Wars to focus on the reconstruction and work around the clock, so it shouldn’t take too long. I’d say about a month or so, including the time it’ll take to plan and design the new arenas.”

Yuan nodded, “Alright, let’s do just that then.”

After talking for a little longer, Yuan left the office with Chairman Lee.

“Then I will contact you once the reconstruction is nearly finished.”

“Sure.”

“One more thing. When do you want to schedule your Faction War with Fiery Queen?”

“If they accept the challenge, we can do it immediately once the formation is completed. It will also be a good chance to show off the formation’s effectiveness since many people will be doubtful at first.”

“I understand.”

After Yuan left, Chairman Lee promptly returned to the office to join the others in the task of redesigning the arenas.
