Chapter 317: Chapter 185: Quasi 5th Rank Big Formation! Chapter 317: Chapter 185: Quasi 5th Rank Big Formation! Soon, the two arrived in front of a luxurious cave at the mountain summit.

As the Array emitted flickering lights, a long passage was revealed.

Lu Li and Guo Yuemei quickly entered.

Passing through jade corridors on both sides, they soon arrived at a grand hall.

Lu Li looked up and saw a beautiful woman in red sitting on a Jade Chair.

With a voluptuous figure and a charming face, she exuded a mature and alluring aura, like a ripe apple.

This person was Wang Yan, one of the Five Golden Core Venerables of the Flowers Sect from the Wang Family.

Her strength was in the late phase of the Golden Core, and her aura was extraordinary.

“Weren’t you going to participate in the decisive battle, why have you suddenly returned?”

Wang Yan looked at Lu Li with a smile, her tone very amiable.

Considering that he was her sect sister’s Daoist couple and possessed top-tier talent, she viewed him very favorally and did not put on airs as a Golden Core Venerable.

Lu Li’s face was solemn as he relayed the situation on the battleground to her.

“What? Those damned bastards! I’ve always said they couldn’t be trusted.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan’s face turned furious, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

“Given the urgency, I will immediately activate the Sect’s last resources to assist Sister Liu and others.”

As the last Golden Core Venerable guarding the Flowers Sect, she had absolute authority to decide on any emergencies.

Moreover, all of the Sect’s resources had been entrusted to her when Cheng Xuanying and others had left the Sect.

Now was the time to use them.

The three of them then immediately headed towards the outside of the cave.

Once outside, they came to an open area.

Wang Yan began to wave her hands, sending countless streams of spiritual light towards the Central Spirit Peak, her momentum extraordinary.

“Buzz…”

The entire Big Formation of the Flowers Sect began to shake violently, its light suddenly converging and waves spreading outward in all directions.

Moments later, the light converged into a gigantic beam, turning into a blinding light shooting straight into the sky, too dazzling to look at directly.

Then, Wang Yan took out a tower-shaped Magic Treasure, threw it upward, and it hovered dozens of meters in the air. The Magic Treasure emitted golden lights and under the push of mana, it rapidly enlarged to dozens of feet high, its presence extremely astonishing.

This treasure was another Half Spirit Treasure of the Flowers Sect, the Spirit Origin Treasure Tower.

It was used to suppress the Sect’s Big Formation, a top-tier treasure that had allowed the Flowers Sect to pass down its legacy for thousands of years without extinguishing.

She immediately controlled the treasure tower, flying towards the peak of the mountain and instantly merged with the beam of light.

It quickly disappeared into the void.

“Boom boom boom…”

Just then, a tremendously powerful fluctuation spread from the Flowers Sect, quickly extending outward.

Wherever the fluctuation reached, numerous islands above the sea immediately emitted blinding beams of light, shooting directly into the sky, echoing the Sect’s Big Formation from afar.

In no time, all the islands within three thousand li around the Flowers Sect’s gates, burst forth with streams of brilliant light, becoming part of the Big Formation, the momentum frighteningly impressive.

Looking in that direction, even their own Mystic Moon Island was included.

After all was done, Wang Yan slowly exhaled, her expression slightly relaxed.

“This Array is a damaged fifth-tier Big Formation and has served as the strongest foundation of the Sect for thousands of years, helping the Sect survive countless disasters of potential annihilation…”

“For thousands of years, Array nodes had already been buried on islands within the nearby sea territories, stimulated by Spirit Veins and integrated with the Big Formation, its might immensely terrifying.”

She explained to Lu Li with a smile, her voice melodious.

Beside her, Guo Yuemei appeared to understand, evidently already aware of these secrets.

Lu Li looked quite astonished, not expecting that the Flowers Sect would have such a powerful fallback; no wonder they had thrived for ten thousand years suppressing the outer seas, this Array must have been indispensable.

“Can we turn the tide of this decisive battle with this Big Formation?”

He turned his head to look at Wang Yan, his eyes filled with a trace of doubt.

“I’m afraid not, although this Array possesses the might of a near fifth-tier Big Formation, extremely terrifying, it’s not invincible.”

Wang Yan appeared somewhat regretful.

“Only within six thousand li around the Flowers Sect can the Array unleash its strongest power, the further out, the weaker it becomes, and beyond twenty thousand li, it poses no threat to Golden Core Venerables.”

“And this Array consumes an enormous amount of resources; even with the Sect’s legacy of over ten thousand years, it won’t last long.”

Lu Li’s expression tensed. If the Array couldn’t hold, he might have to flee with his family’s direct relatives.

He was also very concerned about whether Liu Luoxin could escape the pursuit at this moment.

“With our current Spiritual Items Resources, how long can it last?”

He slowly uttered, his expression solemn.

“Probably for about two to three hundred years, and that’s with the Sect tightening its belt, and each activation of the Array for battle will consume a lot of resources.”

A moment later, Wang Yan appeared regretful.

Hearing this, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

A limit of two to three hundred years wasn’t too short; he must breakthrough the Golden Core soon, or even higher, to lead his family and Sect through this ordeal.

Moreover, now the Array could only radiate to nearby twenty thousand li of the sea territory; the remaining islands would likely be conquered by the Demon Sect, and without the abundant resources replenishment, the Sect would just be struggling on its last legs.

The situation was already quite dire.

He supposed the other Three Great Sects were not much better off.

Although relying on their legacies, they wouldn’t be wiped out immediately, they could still struggle for hundreds of years.

But in the long run, they would gradually decline, leading to their eventual extinction.

Throughout the history of the outer seas, countless Sects had been extinguished in this manner.

“I will immediately activate the Array to support Sister Liu and the others.”

At this moment, Wang Yan did not hesitate and began to act.
