Chapter 198: The Five Dragons Reincarnation Protection Magic Array (C-) Activates!

Lan Qingyou rode her Magic Broom to the Taiji diagram located at the center of the magic circle.

Unlike other areas, although the Taiji diagram was also excavated from the ground, the Yin fish and Yang eye were visibly ten centimeters higher than the surrounding terrain.

She then released the item she had ordered from her Card—a single-tier fountain base—and placed it precisely on the Yang eye.

Yes, you read that right, it was a fountain base.

To be exact, it was a magic fountain.

Its main body was a massive, cauldron-like base with a diameter of five meters, forged entirely from rare, pure Orichalcum.

The center of the base featured an elegant depression, while five meticulously carved dragon heads were evenly distributed along the edge. Each dragon head was lifelike, with flowing whiskers and piercing, spirited eyes.

The bodies of the five bronze dragons snaked downward from their heads. Their scales were distinctly defined, shimmering with a unique metallic teal-blue luminescence under the moonlight and the purple glow of the magic circle. It was a breathtaking sight.

The most astonishing detail was that each dragon's claws tightly grasped a crystal-clear dragon pearl.

A massive amount of magic power was sealed within the dragon pearls, and they emitted a faint, self-sustaining fluorescence in the dark.

Beneath the dragon bodies were carefully designed channeling devices, ensuring the water would flow smoothly into the magic circle.

However, the most beautiful part of all was the dragon tails.

When positioned correctly, these tails seamlessly interlocked with the Magic Circuit surrounding the Yang eye, forming a complete, unified entity.

Around the outer perimeter of the fountain base were amplification Enchanting patterns personally engraved by the Star, Ruan Qingyi.

These intricate Runes were written in the ancient Karim language, and every single stroke contained immense magic power.

The patterns cleverly incorporated the trajectories of stellar movements and symbols of elemental cycles. When viewed from a specific angle, these designs formed a complete astrological chart, providing a powerful blessing to the entire magic fountain.

To be honest, this magic fountain, named "Orichalcum Five Dragons Playing in Water," was personally designed by Lan Qingyou.

But even she hadn't expected the finished product to be this stunning.

It seemed Enchanting also provided a bonus to aesthetics.

Thoroughly satisfied, Lan Qingyou took out the dripping wet Stone of Rest from her Herb Pouch.

When she placed the Stone of Rest into the central depression, a miracle began to unfold.

This mysterious stone endlessly spewed forth the Spring of Rest, the crystal-clear water cascading down the bodies of the five dragons.

As the water touched the specially made magic iron plates beneath the base, the pre-engraved Runes and Magic Circuits on the plates were activated one by one, bursting with a dazzling purple light.

These beams of light acted like living threads, rapidly spreading along complex trajectories with the flow of the water.

Looking down from high above, the five purple streams of light looked like five nimble, swimming dragons, orderly outlining a massive compound magic array in the darkness.

This magic array consisted of three concentric circles. The inner layer contained twelve ancient elemental Runes and a Yin-Yang Taiji diagram. The middle layer housed seventy-two stellar symbols alongside the moon and the sun. The outermost layer connected a total of five gigantic trees, including the one housing Lan Qingyou's Shelter, forming five smaller circles on the large circle, with incantations written in the magic array's unique Karim language in the middle.

The moment the five streams of light finished converging at the outermost ring, the entire magic array erupted with astonishing energy. A pillar of purple light shot into the sky, dyeing the night sky for several kilometers around in a mysterious violet hue.

Standing inside the magic array, Lan Qingyou was draped in a thick veil of purple aura.

If one were to ask why the light erupting from the magic array was purple, Lan Qingyou could only say that she had no idea either.

If she really had to explain it, it was probably because Lan Qingyou herself liked the color purple, so it was influenced by the power of her own sheer belief.

The pillar of light lasted for about three minutes before gradually dissipating.

Subsequently, tiny specks of magic light began to drift in the space around the fountain and the entire magic array, looking as beautifully dreamlike as fireflies on a summer night.

[Five Dragons Reincarnation Protection Magic Array (C-)]

[Effect: A compound magic array with a radius of 500 meters capable of resisting S-rank magic attacks. However, you must constantly inject magic power to ensure the shield's energy does not deplete to zero, allowing it to withstand incoming attacks.]

[Description: A protective shield developed by a group of lunatics was modified by an even crazier Witch using a magic array, making it appear far sturdier. However, this seems to be a semi-finished magic array?]

[Requirements: Drawing, Runology, Enchanting, Astronomy, Mysticism, Magic Circuitry, Magic Resource Recovery, Magic Conversion, Magic Array Drawing Study.]

It was only at this moment, after viewing it with her Analysis Magic Eye, that Lan Qingyou let out a long sigh of relief and clenched her fists.

It succeeded!

It really succeeded!!

Initially, because she worried the mass was too large, Lan Qingyou had decided to use the Stone of Rest, an item that could continuously produce highly concentrated magic power.

She was even so anxious that she specifically asked Ruan Qingyi to apply amplification Enchanting to it.

But looking at it now, everything seemed to have been worth it.

The "Five Dragons" in the name naturally referred to the five dragons on the fountain.

As for the Mysticism mentioned in the description, Lan Qingyou guessed it was caused by the Yin-Yang fish pattern she had added.

The entire outer structure of the magic array served as anchor points for natural energy and binding for the incantations.

The five circles above and the five giant trees within them represented the five directions: east, west, south, north, and center, utilizing them to absorb magic power from outside the magic array.

The seventy-two stellar symbols on the concentric circle of the middle layer represented celestial energy from the sky and spatial-temporal anchoring.

This allowed it to absorb celestial energy for its own use while simultaneously keeping the space and time within the entire magic array forever frozen at the exact moment of its activation.

The sun represented masculinity, scorching heat, and outward release—namely vitality, destructive power, and creative force.

The moon, on the other hand, represented femininity, gentleness, and introversion—namely spiritual power, tidal force, and the power of transformation.

The Yin-Yang Taiji on the centermost core layer was specifically set up to allow the sun and moon on the magic array to be in opposition while still achieving a harmonious unity.

The twelve elemental Runes surrounding the Taiji diagram represented earth, water, fire, wind, lightning, light, darkness, time, space, life, death, and chaos.

Just like the Taiji diagram, they were also used for balance.

This particular trick was something she had comprehended during her free time by reading the Emerald Tablet and combining it with the little she knew about the Yin-Yang and Five Elements theories.

It was precisely because of this that she dared to draw the Taiji diagram onto the magic array.

Because the comprehension belonged to her alone.

The power of sheer belief was truly awesome!

'No, how can I enjoy such a beautiful sight all by myself?'

Therefore, taking advantage of the darkness when the visual effects were at their peak, Lan Qingyou whipped out her Card and snapped a flurry of photos. She even flew up to capture a massive panoramic shot.

Afterward, she sent them to the group chat so everyone could share in the joy.
