Chapter 316: The Movements of Various Tribes
In the Wind-Walking Star Cluster, the strongest member of the Wind-Walking Tribe, who is also the Emperor of the Wind-Walking Tribe, transformed into a gentle breeze and worked diligently around a giant gourd, setting up barriers.
This giant gourd, over twenty meters long, has a maximum diameter of more than ten meters at the base.
It is entirely silver-gray.
This treasure is called the Starry Gourd.
It appears to be a type of plant but is, in fact, made from an extremely precious spirit mine.
Its defenses are astonishing, able to withstand even cosmic storms without a scratch.
Its flying speed is incredibly fast.
With just a slight input of energy, it can convert that energy into the power of the wind laws, moving as fast as lightning.
Even the Emperor of the Wind-Walking Tribe, known as the fastest flyer in the star cluster, would be slightly inferior.
The Wind-Walking Emperor transformed into a light breeze, continually drifting around the Starry Gourd.
Lines of law seals were etched on the outer surface of the Starry Gourd using the power of the laws.
Buzz!
The barrier from a distance slightly trembled.
This caused the Wind-Walking Emperor’s expression to darken as he came to a halt.
“What’s going on?”
With a wave of his hand, he opened a gap in the barrier.
A high-ranking leader from the Wind-Walking Tribe flew in.
“Your Majesty, the strongest members of the various tribes are asking if the barriers are finished. If not, how much longer will it take?”
“Tell them, it will be done soon!”
The Wind-Walking Emperor replied impatiently.
The high-ranking leader from the Wind-Walking Tribe said helplessly, “Your Majesty, it would be best to provide a more specific timeframe. Just now, over on the exile planet, Yi Chen set up a large defensive formation throughout the Great Flame Kingdom, similar to the large defensive barriers of our various tribes.”
“According to our estimates, this large defensive formation’s defensive power may reach an extraordinary level.”
“Moreover, this large defensive formation also has the ability to block the scanning of the Large Battleship’s scanners. As a result, we will be in the same situation as the human federation, completely losing track of Yi Chen.”
“To avoid unnecessary complications, the strongest members of the various tribes have sent people to inquire about the progress.”
The Wind-Walking Emperor couldn’t help but frown.
A barrier covering the entire Great Flame Kingdom?
He couldn’t resist asking, “How long did it take Yi Chen to set up this large defensive formation?”
“He finished in about an hour. However, the law seals were already prepared in advance within his flying treasure,” explained the high-ranking leader of the Wind-Walking Tribe.
“……”
The Wind-Walking Emperor was left speechless, regretting that he had asked that question.
Truly, seeing others succeed can be infuriating.
He knew very well that the most troublesome part for Yi Chen was constructing each new law seal.
If it were just making law seals, he could easily produce dozens in an hour.
By that calculation, the entire large defensive formation could be set up in just two or three hours.
If it were him, not to mention the effectiveness and power, just the size of such a barrier would probably take him one or two years to arrange.
Yet, here he was, the strongest member in the star cluster, known for his skills in setting up barriers.
It was precisely for this reason that the giant Starry Gourd appeared in his hands.
Long before Yi Chen endured nine bolts of divine lightning and achieved evolution, the strongest members of the various tribes quickly reached a consensus.
That consensus was to create a flying treasure with both strong defense and speed, capable of swiftly crossing the cosmic storm zone and blocking scans from Space Fortresses and Large Battleships.
They aimed to reach the exile planet to eliminate Yi Chen.
They could not allow this human genius to continue growing stronger.
Otherwise, if the human federation allied with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and added Yi Chen to the mix, other races in the star cluster would have no means of survival.
They needed speed, they needed strong defense, and they had to meet the requirement of blocking scans from Space Fortresses and Large Battleships.
Each tribe had many powerful treasures.
However, while they could provide something that met one requirement, finding something that met two was exceedingly rare.
As for a treasure that satisfied all three conditions, none existed.
After much secret discussion among the strongest members of the tribes, they reached an agreement.
The Ten-Armed Tribe would provide the Starry Gourd that met two major conditions, and the Wind-Walking Emperor would set up the barriers to block Space Fortress scans on the outside.
This was a top-secret plan known only to the highest echelons of the tribes.
All the dominant races in the star cluster, more than twenty in total, aside from humanity, were involved in this plan.
This included allies of the human federation, the Ten-Armed Tribe and the Frenzied Tribe.
Once this treasure was successfully created, the strongest members of the five races from the Angel Alliance would collaborate to go to the exile planet and eliminate Yi Chen.
Those tribes that neither provided treasures nor participated with their strongest members would offer vast amounts of top-tier resources and treasures to those doing the most work.
Every tribe signed a non-disclosure agreement.
All the tribes waited for the Wind-Walking Emperor to complete the final step of creating this treasure.
However, this was proving to be quite challenging.
More than a year had passed, and the Wind-Walking Emperor still had not succeeded.
With his ability to set up barriers, arranging a barrier in the flying treasure to block scanner scans should not be too difficult.
The real challenge lay in the fact that this barrier, being set up on the outside of the flying treasure, had to endure cosmic storms.
After continuous testing and adjustments, he finally had a slight grip on it by now.
"Notify the various tribes, we should be successful in a few months," the Wind-Walking Emperor calculated and announced an estimated timeline.
"Understood!"
The High-ranking Leaders of the Wind-Walking Tribe bowed and left to respond to the inquiries from the other tribes.
Taking a deep breath, the Wind-Walking Emperor continued to set up the barriers.
He began carving the law patterns onto the Starry Gourd.
Long before, when Yi Chen created the first defensive formation, he had tried to do the same as Yi Chen by first constructing the law seals.
Then he attempted to use those law seals to set up the barriers.
However, it was merely imitating Yi Chen poorly.
Imitating poorly, looks were not the key.
The key was to be able to create the law seals themselves.
He knew the benefits of creating law seals but lacked the talent to create them like Yi Chen.
To successfully create a law seal required constant testing and adjustments, and with his creative talent and strength realm, it would be very difficult to succeed without thousands or even tens of thousands of years of effort.
One barrier or formation could require a few dozen law seals at the very least, and hundreds or even thousands were not uncommon.
He had no choice but to give up and continue to slowly carve the barriers using the law patterns.
…
Soul Clan.
"A large defensive formation with potentially incredibly strong defense?"
The Soul Emperor received the news as well.
His brows furrowed tightly.
He had planned to make a trip to the exile planet after fully understanding the abilities and strength of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy to capture Yi Chen using his powerful personal strength.
If he could capture Yi Chen, it would be like holding onto a top-tier hostage that the human federation dared not attack.
At the same time, he could force Yi Chen to create various skills to quickly elevate the strength realm of humanity’s hosts.
During this time, he had been testing the attack power of the Federation Military’s fleet intermittently.
His purpose was to numb the Federation Military’s fleet, allowing their commanders to develop habits, so when the time came to really strike, they could break through the fleet’s blockade as quickly as possible.
But then, such bad news popped up.
A powerful large defensive formation clearly did not favor his plan to go to the exile planet and capture Yi Chen.
"Send someone to keep a close watch and see if the human federation will test the defense of this large defensive formation."
"If they do test the defensive capabilities of the formation, inform me immediately."
The Soul Emperor commanded, continuing his inertia to test the various abilities and tactics of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy.
