Novel Full Chapter 443 - Sequence
Sam moved at his full speed and arrived at the location of the three formations in an hour. Then he started identifying the directions according to the hologram and started moving towards that direction, after some time, he came to face something which cleared some of his doubts.
There is a large formation created on the island, the formation itself is one of the most basic, but the nodes are actually the formations that are cracked.
And this formation was created by Sam and that happened, by him activating it through the stone table in the valley.
This is the purpose of the stone table.
He knew this because, the large stone table in the tower has a similar function, but there are some differences and the functions of his table are far more advanced.
After confirming this, he started moving in another direction but frowned when he saw nothing visible at that place.
From Sam's speculations, every star in the hologram represents the position of a cracked formation. And what he concluded is that the position of the dim spheres represents the position of an uncracked formation. But when he came to the place, he didn't see any.
But he didn't give up immediately, he made sure to check the surroundings and see if made an error in distance calculation. But there are no results.
Sam is a bit frustrated, if this speculation is wrong, then there is nothing he could about it, he would have to waste more time on this.
After thinking for some time, he looked towards the ground and had a thought, but he felt that is too farfetched.
Just before he was about to leave, another thought came to his mind.
What if it is really as farfetched as he thought? He wanted to try and landed on the ground, he tapped the ground with his feet for a few seconds, before spreading his spiritual energy towards the feet.
He closed his eyes and started using the observation ability. After another few seconds, there is a look of shock on his face.
This is something he didn't expect at all. Even though he tried to find something underground, but he felt like this would be too farfetched.
Most of it is because this is not exactly possible.
The formation is underground. It is not a big deal initially, but what made Sam think otherwise is that each formation is acting as a node and they are creating basic formations that don't need many nodes.
This makes things extremely different. These formations are basic so they have some rigid rules and one of them is that the nodes should be at the same altitude to create the formation. But if it is underground, then it wouldn't be the same, they have to change the nodal positions and think of a different energy flow to compensate for the misplacement of altitude.
But then, it wouldn't be the same formation anymore.
That is why he didn't think there would be any formation at this place.
All of sudden, Sam had another thought which is also extremely farfetched, there is only one way for this to be possible, and to confirm it, he laid flat on the ground and closed his eyes to see his blood circulation.
He is using his body as a leveling device to see if the ground is really flat and then he got the answers. After standing up, he suddenly didn't want to be just like the person who laid these formations.
That guy seemed to be extremely crazy and nuts.
Who would alter the terrain completely to hide the formation? Certainly, Sam wouldn't do so.
Yes, the terrain is completely altered and it was done so subtly, that no one would think they are climbing the slope. The slope is very minute when compared to the length of the slope.
In this way, it could be said that Sam is standing on a higher altitude than the previous formations and the formation underground could be considered to be on the same altitude as the remaining formations.
He cursed the maker under his breath and started digging. Less than an hour later, he was done with the formation and took the meteorite sand away.
He then moved towards the next position. The next one is even more ridiculous.
The formation is hidden within a rock. The rock is like an eggshell around the yolk, but a lot harder.
He went on to discover the other four formations in the region which he marked in the hologram. After that, he returned to the valley.
The trio is searching for the other clues and they are experimenting with the stone tables and so on. But there is not much they could find.
Sam went to the stone table and looked at it with a smile.
Now, there are twenty-five stars glowing on the table. He didn't waste any time and walked to the next stone table.
He took out a paper and started marking the locations to get a rough map. He divided the island into four regions now.
The four regions had different positions for the formations and each cave represented a direction.
For the next two days, Sam is on the constant move, he could have sent his friends to other places, but there is not much they could do. He is the one who could crack the formation fastest. So, there is no need for them to exhaust themselves.
After two and a half days of constant search, Sam found the formations in extremely weird places and some of them are just open but in an isolated place.
Now, they have to deal with the stone pillar.
After coming to the valley, he and his friends sat down and he started explaining the formations to them. Not all of them, at least the sixteen formations on the stone statue.
They don't need to know how to lay down the formation completely, but if they knew how to connect the stars according to the structure and energy flow of the formation.
Simply put, they have to know the sequence of connecting them.
As for why Sam is not doing that himself and spending time to explain, he doesn't know if there are any extra conditions like activating the four tables at the same time as such after the person who made the formation seemed to be too cranky from all the things he had seen on this island.
He doesn't want to take the chance. So, he might as well meet the conditions. Even if there are no such conditions, there is not much he would suffer.
The four of them went to the four caves and started connecting the stars according to the sequences Sam gave.
But there are some problems there. Not just from the trio, but for Sam as well.
The stone statue is showing some movements, but there is no extensive result because they couldn't identify the correct sequence in which they have to activate the formations.
From the symbols, he knew that there are sixteen formations to be activated, which means to connect the stars and create sixteen formations with four formations on one stone table.
From the direction of palm grooves, they could even identify which stone table is for what formations. But the problem is which formation comes first on which stone stable and which stone table comes first and that is even if it was the correct way to do it.
For this, they first tried a trial and error method. But the situation is turning difficult as they couldn't figure it out no matter what.
After three days of seeing no results, Sam couldn't take it and think of another bizarre thing, He boarded Sky and flew towards the top of the stone pillar.
And he was shocked by what he saw on the upper surface of the stone pillar. It really does have some markings on the circular surface and it is so clear too.
Sam is feeling extremely frustrated, they have been made fools by this cranky guy. He kind of felt like there might not be any other special reason behind the existence of this island, the person whoever it is that kept this here must have been bored out of his mind to do this.
And he must be a person who is in an extremely high position and even a god on par with the ones Sam knew for now.
This much meteorite sand will leave a pinch for anyone other than those gods because if a weapon like the thunder prison was made, there is no way this much meteorite sand will suffice.
There is a need for a lot more, in fact, if the whole island was made of meteorite sand that includes, the rocks, stones, and every substance which has mass, then it might be possible to create a weapon like thunder prison, but then also they need some extra materials which will give access to the weapon which extend, expand and shrink in sizes depending on user's requirement.
