Chapter 425: The Sage Enters the Camp
In the human world, some time has passed since those days of darkness without light.
So much so that people have now gradually grown accustomed to the sight of multiple suns appearing in the sky at the same time.
Due to the effect of the Blazing Sun Great Array, this year's spring arrived significantly earlier than in the past; in most parts of the human world, the ice and snow have already melted, and some plants have even begun to sprout tender buds.
Everything seems to indicate that the despairing, frigid winter and the long darkness have become a thing of the past, but only a few people know that the true danger does not lie in the human world, but in another, more cruel world.
Within Xinglong Ridge, the Ten Thousand Curses Great Array is nearing completion. This array, crafted jointly by four Sages, resembles an artificial mountain peak in its entirety, with pure black steel stone as its main body, a large number of special metal pillars as the foundation of the array, and countless talisman seals and eerie materials as the source of power.
It can be said that this immensely costly array is absolutely the most terrifying type of array in the history of the human world, capable of strengthening curses, expanding range, amplifying effects, and so on.
"Living up to the Great Sage's commission, the Ten Thousand Curses Great Array is complete!"
Following the completion of the entire Ten Thousand Curses, the four Sages, having quickly finished their inspection, came before Lin Feng, bowed to him, and spoke thus.
"Mm, very good!"
Lin Feng naturally saw the Ten Thousand Curses Great Array, which looked like a small hill, but this was ultimately not a good place to test its effects, so after nodding, he asked them the following question.
"I wonder if you are willing to take a trip to the Yinjian with me?"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, the four Sages fell silent at once. They exchanged glances a few times and then nodded in agreement: "We are willing. Come to think of it, we have yet to see what the current Yinjian is actually like."
Matters having reached this point, they had nothing left to decline. Previously, they did not know what the purpose of the person before them was, nor did they know what the other party wanted to do, so they naturally harbored intense wariness; however, through their contact and understanding over these days, they had come to grasp the other party's intentions.
It can be said that if not for the quiet protection of the person before them, the current human world would likely have already completely fallen, turning into a human purgatory of darkness, rampant eeriness, and corpses everywhere.
"Very well, let's go then!"
Being able to win over several Sage-level craftsmen to work for him was undoubtedly a very good thing. Although Lin Feng still did not fully trust them, he now possessed a powerful backing and was capable of bearing these uncertain factors.
"Click, click, click."
As Lin Feng's voice fell, a huge Eerie Gate opened before everyone. Immediately after, a clone appeared beside Lin Feng. This clone beckoned toward the distance, and the Ten Thousand Curses Great Array was instantly grabbed into his palm, after which he took the lead and walked into the Yinjian military camp.
The four craftsman Sages dared not delay and hurriedly followed; soon, they crossed the Eerie Gate one by one and arrived in the Yinjian military camp.
The surrounding environment changed instantly. A kind of terrifying pressure that made them feel as if they were suffocating enveloped them at once, and then they discovered with horror that the eerie power within their bodies had completely fallen into a state of dormancy and was difficult to mobilize.
"Eerie-Suppressing Tower! Four Poles Eerie-Suppressing City! No, no, no, that's not right; even the Four Poles Eerie-Suppressing City couldn't possibly have such a powerful effect!"
The vision of these four Sage craftsmen was naturally not something ordinary craftsmen could compare to. Although they felt shocked, they reacted instantly to what was happening.
"No wonder, no wonder!"
"Only by living like this can one survive in the Yinjian for a long time!"
"What a grand gesture! Previously, we were rejoicing over the completion of the Ten Thousand Curses Great Array, but now it seems we were short-sighted!"
The four of them looked directly toward various parts of the military camp, and after seeing some familiar structures or special items, they gradually began to see the logic behind it.
"As expected of the Great Sage, to be able to build such a majestic city in such a harsh place as the Yinjian; having this city is worth a million-strong army!"
Mo Heng gradually came to his senses, his tone mixed with a hint of excitement and agitation, and he spoke thus to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's clone.
"A million-strong army is an exaggeration, but with this city, we have a foothold in the Yinjian!"
"Put on these talisman plates, then follow me."
Lin Feng shook his head and then threw several talisman plates to them. Only with these plates could they escape the terrifying effects of the entire great array; otherwise, even if a god-man came here, they would have to behave like an ordinary mortal.
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
Hearing his words, the four Sages unconsciously adopted the tone of subordinates. To them, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven at this very moment was indeed like their direct superior.
Soon, the group followed the clone to the core command tent of the military camp, where the Eerie Iron Statue saw them arrive and exchanged a few brief words with them.
These four did not mind Lin Feng's clone; after all, it was normal for powerful individuals to like refining clone puppets.
"Later, I will arrange for the Ten Thousand Curses Great Array to be tested in the military camp. If there are any problems then, I hope you can correct them immediately."
"That goes without saying! Please rest assured, Great Sage!"
"That's right, this array is our life's work; even if the Great Sage didn't say so, we would do it!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, they dared not refuse and hurriedly agreed. Afterward, they asked Lin Feng about the basic situation in the Yinjian.
Upon learning that the Yinjian still held various ancient forces of all sizes as well as the immense threat from the Tianwai Tian, the mood of the four also became somewhat heavy.
Regardless, as Sages of the human world, they never wanted the human world to be completely destroyed. Having seen the current Yinjian with their own eyes, they could understand more clearly just how terrifying it was.
They only needed to look up at the sky above to clearly see the scene of violent nether winds carrying large amounts of sand, stones, and even eerie things, blotting out the sun and sky.
If they were to leave the protection of the array, even they would not be able to hold out for long in such a harsh environment.
The final result would either be their vitality being completely extinguished and them eventually becoming Calamity Eeries, or finding some dark, lightless place to hide and see how long they could last.
"The old antiques left over from the ancient era of the Yinjian are no longer the primary threat to me at present. Although they have many factions, they are all harboring their own ulterior motives and it is impossible for them to unite. Facing the attacks of individual forces is not a problem for me."
"But the key lies in the instigation and manipulation of the Tianwai Tian forces behind this. Our true enemies will always be those terrifying existences whose very existence is defined by destruction and ruin!"
Lin Feng watched their expressions shift one after another, then spoke again to give them some confidence.
"The Great Sage is righteous; we admire you!"
"Indeed, since that is the case, we must also contribute our share!"
"I wonder if there is anything we can do next?"
"..."
Hearing Lin Feng say this, the four felt their spirits ease slightly, and then they spoke one after another to Lin Feng.
