Chapter 161: Reassembling the Array Formation
All of the materials which Tang Yin had dissected from the Array Formation were intact, especially the core. He did not need to rebuild the core, it counted as a single part. This potentially saved him extra hours of additional time.
All of the parts were laid in front of Tang Yin, there were many big and small parts neatly placed on the floor.
Tang Yin only had an hour to reassemble the whole Array Formation back to how it originally was.
After taking a deep breath, Tang Yin lifted his finger and injected Abyss Qi into its tip. Then he slowly and intricately drew strokes on the wall before him. He first drew a spherical shape outline.
After doing this, he picked up the Yin-Yang diagram, which was the core, and placed it inside the spherical outline he had just drawn.
The Array Formation was only of the 8th Tier, therefore, it was not that hard for a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator like him to deduce and create it.
The Yin-Yang diagram was neatly slotted into the spherical outline. Just like how oneβs dragon would enter the phoenix.
Based on his memory, Tang Yin drew the sections of the Array Formation around the core. After making sure everything was correct, he drew the runic symbols which were supposed to be present inside of the various sections. He had painstakingly spent 2 hours memorizing the runic symbols and every other small detail involved. This spoke volumes as cultivators had an eidetic memory.
After drawing all of the sections he needed to with his fingertip, Tang Yin picked up several small shining stone materials beside him. He then placed them where he remember them to be from his memory. Everything seemed to be going well and as planned.
Most of the other cultivators were also in the reassembling phase like Tang Yin. Only Scattered Soul Daoist was finished, he was just repeatedly checking his Array Formation to make sure everything was correct.
Tang Yin had spent 40 minutes just re-joining the core and drawing the sections, as well as filling them in with the required runes, symbols and materials. He only had 20 minutes left to complete the outer part of the Array Formation.
After making his last check on the sections, he moved on to the final step of the Array Formation. The last step was fairly simple, he just needed to draw an octagon along with the runic symbols which accompanied it.
Tang Yin got to work, he first drew the corners of the octagon which took 5 minutes. He then linked the corners up with intricate strokes to form the octagon. There were only 10 minutes left, Tang Yin only needed to draw the runic symbols around the edges of the octagon, and then the Array Formation would be complete.
Each edge only required 2 runic symbols. After drawing them multiple times, Tang Yinβs proficiency had increased largely. It took much less time to draw them compared to before.
Once Tang Yin drew the runic symbols in the correct places, he was finished! However, he needed to go over the whole Array Formation and make sure everything was correct and nothing was out of place or missing. He had 5 minutes to do this.
Tang Yin started with the core, then the sections and finally the diagram. Everything was in place. He only needed to check the runic symbols and he would be done. He had 1 minute to do this.
Upon checking the runic symbols, everything was fine. Just as he was reading the last few runic symbols, he spotted a mistake.
A runic symbol which looked like a βQβ was missing a small dot which should have been present in its centre.
There were only a couple of seconds left. Tang Yin hurriedly injected Abyss Qi into the fingertip of his index finger and gently jabbed the βQβ symbolβs centre.
It was at this moment that Tian Huang opened his eyes, he waved his arm, and everyone was enveloped in golden light before being transported away from their Array Formations.
They did not appear back on the platforms, instead, they were still in the underground karst cave.
They had been transported to just near Tian Huang and a distance away from the walls of the cave where the Array Formations were engraved on.
Tian Huang got up and stood in the air. With his usual indifferent and aloof tone, he spoke. "The fourth trial has come to an end. I will place Spirit Stones in the reassembled Array Formations. The cultivators whose Array Formations work normally will have passed the trial."
"If the Array Formations do not work, or they function differently from how they originally were, those who have created it will be killed and turned into nourishment for my Tempest Palace."
"You have finished the procedures the fastest. As long as the Array Formation works perfectly fine, you shall receive the promised reward." Tian Huang pointed out whilst looking towards Scattered Soul Daoist.
Excitement appeared on Scattered Soul Daoistβs face. A reward promised by Tian Huang was not a small thing.
