Chapter 1246: Spirit Cultivation Attenuation Formation Array

"Whoa!"

"How does n.o.ble Lin Mu do it?"

"So many pretty lights!"

The children of the Haima tribe were gathered around an open square. This area had been made recently since Lin Mu had requested for it. A few small hills had to be flattened for a large enough area to be obtained.

And currently above this large square thousands upon thousands of runes were hovering in the air. Some were arranged into small formations, while some were simply floating around independently.

But to the children of the Haima tribe, these were just pretty lights that moved. While they were quite curious, they didn't go past a distance. They were sternly instructed not to disturb Lin Mu while he was at work by their parents.

There were also several warriors standing around the area, just as a precaution.

In the middle of the square, Lin Mu was sitting on the ground while eight formation flags floated around him. There were ten more flags lying next to him along with an Inkstone that was half filled with ink.

In his hand was a fine brush made from spirit beast fur and high quality wood. Faint spirit Qi fluctuations could also be felt coming from it. And not just the brush, there were spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the Inkstone and the ink as well.

It was evident that all these were spirit tools, or more accurately spirit tools that were meant for formation masters.

Lin Mu had quite a few of them in the ring, but he had seldom used them. He mostly used his own spirit sense as a brush or even his fingers to make runes. But now that it was restrained in the Rust Sky world, he resorted to the spirit tools that had been lying around gathering dust.

The modified spirit sealing formation array that Lin Mu was making needed a lot more than just plain runes and smaller formations. It needed other components like formation flags, rune stones as well as formation plates.

The requirements could certainly be reduced but that would take a lot more research and optimizing. For now though, Lin Mu only wanted to set up the array once and let it be used for as long as possible.

"And done!" Lin Mu finished writing the last set of runes on the formation flags and put down the writing brush.

There were now a total of sixteen fomentation flags floating around him in two sets. One set had six flags and one set had ten flags, each set having different properties.

The formation flags were especially important for this array since they were in charge of actually making it work. The runes and formations floating in the air were merely connective and auxiliary in nature.

From the two sets of flags, the set with six flags was in charge of suppressing the spirit Qi of the cultivators that would stand inside the array. As for the set with the ten flags, it was in charge of injecting and channeling spirit Qi into the array from the surrounding air.

Lin Mu stood up and gesture with his hands.

~SHUA~ SHUA~ SHUA~

Three suppressive formation flags flew out first, implanting into the ground in a triangular shape.

~SHUA~ SHUA~ SHUA~ SHUA~ SHUA~

Waving his other hand, Lin Mu sent out five spirit Qi channeling formation flags. These formed a pentagonal shape the sides of which touched the points of the triangular shape of the suppressive flags.

~HONG~

Once these flags were set, the runes in the air resonated in response before automatically formation long rope like constructs that linked to these flags.

"So far, so good. Doesn't seem like there is any instability for now." Lin Mu's eyes carefully observed the array, looking out for any errors.

Only when he was sure that there were no issues forming, he went with the next step. He gestured with his hand again, sending the last three suppressive flags. These formed a larger triangle that was opposite in orientation to the previous one.

It encased the pentagon from before and caused a turbulent stream of spirit Qi to form.

'I need to be quick before the equilibrium breaks' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He quickly controlled the last five spirit Qi channeling formation flags. They formed a pentagon again, but in the opposite orientation from the previous pentagram.

Now there were two sets of mirror shapes set up concurrently.

~HUALA~

The stream of turbulent spirit Qi suddenly split apart into multiple strings and merged into the sixteen formation flags.

"It should be stable now." Lin Mu nodded his head.

The runes and formations in the air continued to change, creating a rather attractive light show for the Haima tribe children that were watching. Even the warriors acting as guards were amazed.

"Now for the final part." Lin Mu took out a formation plate and buried it into the center of the entire array.

~HONG~

A sonorous sound was heard in the area and a sudden s.h.i.+ft in spirit Qi was felt.

~WHOOSH~

Wind started to spin around the entire array before entering through five points. This wind was nothing but the spirit Qi in the air being pulled by the channeling flags. Seeing it work as intended, Lin Mu smiled.

He observed the array for a few minutes, after which a thought came to him.

'I should name it but what should it be?' Lin Mu wondered.

And after a couple of minutes, he had made his decision.

"Since it is meant to seal one's spirit Qi for readjustment' of cultivation base, I shall name it Spirit Cultivation Attenuation Formation Array." Lin Mu declared.

~HUMM~

And as if to respond to his decision, the formation array resonated. A few runes automatically appeared above it that read, Spirit Cultivation Attenuation Formation Array'.

The words lingered in the air for a whole minute before merging into the array, forever making it known what it was and who its creator was.

Lin Mu walked out of the square and went to Elder Niji's place.

"Hope the warriors are ready. We shall start tomorrow."
