How many ancient formations are there in North County?
If someone must answer this question, then it's 113,206.
This is the foundation that Li Shutong left in North County, and also the result of Shen Zheqi's efforts in the Fourth War Zone over these many days.
A household.
A family of three is having a meal, two dishes and a soup.
For them, this is already considered sumptuous in today's North County.
In the future, such "sumptuous" dinners will only become more common, and each of their faces is filled with long-lost smiles.
They are full of confidence in the future of Great Xia.
At this moment, beneath their feet, particles of golden light gather in mid-air, finally coalescing into a complex and profound text that floats upwards.
A training ground.
The Combat Spirit Contract Masters of Great Xia are honing their skills, simulating battles.
Han Zhan's return has greatly invigorated them, filling everyone with high morale.
The person in charge of overseeing is Shen Zheqi.
He was recalled from other cities and temporarily does not need to continue maintaining the ancient formations.
Beneath the training ground, specks of golden light gradually rise, causing these Combat Spirit Contract Masters to be on alert.
Someone attempts to reach out to touch those golden specks, but is stopped by Shen Zheqi.
"Don't touch."
"These are the array base profound texts of the ancient formations."
Watching these golden specks coalesce into a small golden glyph, Shen Zheqi suddenly realizes why he was summoned back.
Scenes like this are appearing in more and more places.
Above all the ancient formations, golden texts bubble up like air orbs.
One by one, the golden texts gather towards the sky of North County, dense as if celestial script, illuminating the entire sky over North County.
From the southernmost Julu Pass, a dazzling golden light forms a straight line, stretching to the Extreme North Shore at the end of North County.
Then countless golden lines emerge.
In the sky, they form a golden scroll, which slowly unfurls, swelling against the wind, encompassing all of the 113,206 golden texts within.
A golden dome shrouds everywhere.
On the ground, the crisscrossing golden lines form a massive square chessboard, covering the entire North County.
With the heavens round and the earth square, measuring the sky and terrain.
Lin Jingxuan steps out from the house.
The River Map and Luo Book appear behind him, separating again.
The Luo Book in the shape of a Profound Turtle Shell merges into the heavenly dome.
The River Map in the form of a scroll blends into the ground's chess formation.
At the moment when the two merge with heaven and earth, golden light ripples throughout North County, dispelling the shadows in all corners.
Every strand of Lin Jingxuan's hair emits divine brilliance.
He is dressed in a simple white trench coat, standing in the air, his formerly short hair has grown long, flowing freely behind him.
The White Feather Fan in his hand is also emitting dazzling white light.
"Second Senior Brother, is he really that strong?"
At Han Zhan's place, Xia Youwei and others also sensed the anomalies between heaven and earth and stepped outside.
Witnessing this scene, Xia Youwei couldn't help but ask, as if speaking to herself.
"Every Tier Nine Realm is a uniquely powerful being," Shang Siteng said from the side.
If the Tier Six Peak represents the pinnacle of many ordinary lives,
then the Tier Eight Peak is the pinnacle for most geniuses.
Only a rare few geniuses can carve their own path and take the last step before transcendence.
"But not everyone can create such a big commotion like Second Senior Brother," Shang Siteng added.
Because of the existence of the River Map and Luo Book.
No one has ever been able to merge a complete and powerful origin upon breaking through from the Tier Eight Peak to Tier Nine.
Lin Jingxuan is the first such audacious person.
"I feel the air becoming refreshed and warm after being filtered by the golden light,"
"Has it covered the entire North County?"
"Have all the ancient formations vanished?"
"No, they haven't vanished. They've all transformed into one Heaven and Earth Array!"
In the sky.
Lin Jingxuan opened his eyes.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with surging golden light, and when the River Map and Luo Book united with the Heaven and Earth Array, the shadows over North County were completely dispelled.
But this was not enough!
With a wave of the White Feather Fan in Lin Jingxuan's hand,
a golden character the size of a massive mountain fell in the southern part of the Heaven and Earth Array. It was the "Qian" trigram.
With each wave of his hand, a character appeared at a different position.
He waved a total of eight times.
Within the Heaven and Earth Array, eight positions were filled with eight giant golden characters.
As they simultaneously fell, the entire floating array instantly stabilized, as solid as a rock!
Heaven and earth are aligned, mountains and lakes communicate, thunder and wind stir, water and fire do not clash.
This is the Innate Eight Trigrams!
Eight trigrams as one entity, containing yin and yang, all arrays combined, the River Map and Luo Book utilizing heaven and earth.
Protecting North County, safeguarding Great Xia, defending the people!
It wasn't until this moment that Lin Jingxuan's aura gradually receded as he descended from the sky.
He had broken through to Tier Nine.
Lin Jingxuan became the first Tier Nine of the new Great Xia.
With top-tier combat power, there's capital to continue competing with other forces, and hope for the future.
Wen Suya reverted to her female form and took his arm.
"Suya, I did it."
"Yes, you did it."
"The mountains are stable, the rivers intact, teachers, parents, I did it."
"With me and the array, North County will not fall."
Lin Jingxuan's resolute voice, carried by the wind, drifted to every corner.
...
"What audacity."
"But he truly has the confidence to say such things. As expected of Lin Jingxuan of Great Xia."
"Could you stop shaking your leg while you speak?" a companion, crawling out of the sewer, panted and said.
"Luckily, my mutant form is an alien rat. I noticed something was off ahead of time and ran fast enough."
"Otherwise, if we got caught by that golden light, we would have already sacrificed ourselves for the organization."
"The infiltration failed, let's report back to the organization."
"The other teams of Mutant Walkers probably failed too."
"But I wonder if that person succeeded."
Upon hearing the words "that person," all the Mutant Walkers fell silent, their eyes simultaneously revealing a look of fear.
They were Mutant Walkers, individuals who had various powerful alien cells integrated into their bodies, with violence and ruthlessness as their nature.
What kind of existence could evoke fear in such violent and ruthless individuals?
"The new 001, that guy named Chen Tao. He's truly a monster."
"Our mission this time was originally meant to cover for him. As long as he succeeds, the mission won't be considered a failure."
"Why do you think the leader sent Chen Tao on this mission?"
"I heard there's something that couldn't be brought out from the City of Extreme Evil and needs to be retrieved again."
"What could be so important?"
The speaker glanced at his fellow Mutant Walker.
"It's best not to inquire too much about such matters in society."
