Chapter 1771 Prison Like Spatial Planes

Lin Mu looked up at the sky, feeling strong spatial fluctuation appearing again.

"They"re really making Spatial Planes once more." Lin Mu said.

"It is the optimum way." The Saintess replied. "Though the numbers this time will be less." She added.

"They don"t need that many after all. There are just sixty four contestants left… which means thirty two fights. And the numbers will only halve again." Lin Mu replied.

It was still unclear how many Spatial Planes they might be making, but considering the strong Spatial Disturbance Lin Mu at least knew that they would be bigger than the ones they had made earlier.

~shua~

The Saintess waved her hand and created a large lens above them again, allowing Lin Mu to observe everything clearly. His Spatial Perception was activated to the maximum, along with his Immortal sense, allowing him to observe everything in detail.

He wasn"t the only one doing his best either. All others that were watching it were doing the same. It was a rare opportunity to do so after all.

Plus, with the improvements Lin Mu had with the Spiral Flake Crystals, he felt like he could "see" the flow of the spatial fabric too. He could tell how the formations would react with them and what effects they could bring.

Similar to before, Lin Mu saw the same formations being used, but this time they were more intricate.

Hours pa.s.sed like this before the structure of the Spatial Plane was established. Lin Mu could tell that a part of the Lesser Void was merged into the Spatial Planes while the land was created in it.

Since the Spatial planes weren"t fully "protected" yet. Lin Mu could clearly see into them.

"They… They made them nearly two hundred kilometers in size?" Lin Mu was stunned.

Making such a large Spatial plane from scratch was a tall order and would need a ma.s.sive amount of energy. Even if one had the necessary materials, one wouldn"t be able to do it if they lacked the skill needed for it.

There were hundreds of formation masters working in tandem to ensure that there were no issues and the process went smoothly.

Lin Mu tried to look for any mistakes or errors in the formation as he knew that it was the best way to learn. If he could figure out the mistakes before they happened, he would be able to resolve them quickly.

And sure enough, the more Lin Mu looked, the more he found them.

Even with the great power of the four guardian beasts as well as the skills of the Formation masters of the temples, there were indeed errors appearing in the entire formation array.

While these weren"t arrays that could cause damage or make the array collapse, they would still leave minor flaws within the arrays.

"These aren"t errors that can be resolved on their own, either. At least not in such a short time. If they want to fix them, they would have to reform the entire array and make the connections slowly." Lin Mu thought to himself.

It made him realize that these were errors caused due to rushing.

If he were to relate it to forging, it would basically be the same as cooling down the hot metal too fast, causing microscopic cracks to spread in it. While it might not be visible easily or show any effects on the surface, the overall durability of the metal would fall.

It could also collapse under great strain.

The same could apply to the the great spatial array above him right now.

In fact, the more Lin Mu observed it the more he learned. After a certain point, Lin Mu started to see channels that could actually be exploited!

"Wait a second… these nodes basically leave free access to the Spatial Plane…" Lin Mu thought to himself.

Of course, the free access was something that would only be limited to someone like him that could affect the s.p.a.ce directly, but it was still a major flaw.

"Why would they leave something like this?" Lin Mu wondered.

But an hour later, that question of his was resolved.

"So that"s why…" Lin Mu soon saw tens of new formations being added to the Spatial array.

These formations had nothing to do with s.p.a.ce and everything to with security and encryption.

"Thousand Lace Formation, Mixed Leaf Locking Formation and even the Flickering Veil Obscuring Formation… All these are meant to be used on secure locations." Lin Mu recognized them again.

The Thousand Lace Formation was a connective formation that was used to connect multiple securing and location formations, while the Mixed Leaf Locking Formation was a locking formation as its name meant.

The only difference was that it was a formation that utilized the wood element and used the patterns of leaves to make a string of runes.

Then there was the Flickering Veil Obscuring formation. It was a formation that fell in the category of both Encrypting formations as well as illusory formations.

It worked by creating a flickering layer of runes between the real array and a fake array. This layer would continue to change and move around, making it difficult one to figure out where the real nodes were as well as what the original array was.

"Rather than a tournament ground for an array… it looks like they are making a prison instead." Lin Mu muttered after seeing it all.

And it was indeed correct as a similar method was used to make prisons that could contain immortals.

Of course, the real prisons would be a lot smaller than this.

"Hmm… The temple seems to be taking their concerns to the next level." The Saintess suddenly spoke.

"Is this due to the diviners?" Lin Mu couldn"t help but ask.

"Quite likely. This will prevent any immortal senses from entering the plane. Even you won"t be able to pry into it, once it"s activated." The Saintess replied.

But upon hearing this, a frown appeared on Lin Mu"s face.

After all, his plan was to interfere in the fights using the Nine Divine Heart Sutras. But if the security was like this, he was not so sure about it. He didn"t talk about it though and wanted to see how it was going to be in the end.

It wasn"t good to rush to conclusions after all.

Besides, he had trust in his companions and hoped that they could survive on their own too now.

Having seen their skills beforehand, Lin Mu was sure they had improved and could hold out on their own.

At the very least, they needed to hold out until battling against Yao Changying.

That was their intention after all. Lin Mu was going to direct the fights in such a way that his companions would end up facing her eventually. Or so he hoped.

"But if I"m also in the Spatial planes, I won"t be able to do much." Lin Mu thought.

Considering there would be multiple Spatial Planes, there would also be multiple fights.

So far, Lin Mu could see Four Spatial planes and there were no signs of more being formed.

"Four Spatial Planes means four fights at once… it"ll take about six cycles to finish an entire round." Lin Mu calculated.

Considering there were five of them, there was a high chance Lin Mu might not be able to help at least one of them.

Then there was the fact that he didn"t know if the sutras would still work inside the Spatial Plane.

"I"ll have to exploit a flaw somehow…" Lin Mu decided.

He chanted the calming heart sutra right away and focused on the spatial arrays with renewed focus.

There were still a few hours until the entire array would be finalized, thus Lin Mu had a decent amount of time.

Two hours pa.s.sed like this, while the complexity of the arrays increased.

It was at this time that they saw a new formation being added.

"What is that?" but this time Lin Mu was unable to identify the formation.

The Saintess who was looking at it, furrowed her brows under the veil.

"They actually intended to use this… The temple is paying a higher price than I thought they would." The Saintess said.

"Do you know what formation that is?" Lin Mu questioned.

"It is a rather rare formation called as the Seven Star Obfuscation Formation. It is among the few formations that can prevent diviners from prying in." The Saintess answered.

"Seven Star Obfuscation Formation… I don"t think I"ve heard of it before." Lin Mu muttered.

"It isn"t exactly well known. Most don"t even know how it is made as it was invented by one of the former Immortal Formation Grandmasters of the temple a long time ago.

It is only used by the temple and even then; it is only known by a few. It also needs a lot of rare materials to make." The Saintess replied. "I don"t think you can even learn about it outside the temple." She added.
