494: The Hiding Monk Dayu

Half a month later, as the script continued to unfold, the plot reached the point where the 'communication Formation has been completed, and the Formation needs to be officially activated to send a message to the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty'.

Standing at the bottom of the sea, Yang Dian surveyed the colossal communication Formation, covering nearly a million square kilometers, and frowned slightly.

"Should this Formation be activated by continuing to replicate every action of the Da Yu Cultivators, or should we release the Da Yu Cultivators from their brain tanks and let them activate it directly in the real world?"

Hearing Yang Dian's murmur, Dr. Bai, who had been watching the show beside him, spoke up:

"Let's release them from their brain tanks."

"We can perfectly replicate the Formation and everything related to it."

"But when activating the communication Formation, it requires the Cultivators' magical power, Mental Energy, and even Soul to be involved."

"Who knows what secrets might be hidden within?"

At this point, Dr. Bai again surveyed the enormous communication Formation and said:

"As long as you're fast enough, I can guarantee a seamless transition for them between the 'real illusion' and the 'real environment', without them detecting anything amiss."

Yang Dian nodded slightly, then looked up through the deep seawater at the small Star God in the sky.

"Set up a layer of real illusion on the sea surface."

"We must ensure that the real world looks exactly as they saw it in the 'script'."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Bai rubbed his temples, feeling a bit exasperated.

"Such a large area will waste a lot of my energy..."

Though he grumbled, Dr. Bai's actions were swift and decisive.

A few minutes later, he nodded slightly to Yang Dian, indicating:

"The setup is complete; I guarantee the world they see will be exactly the same as the world in the 'script'."

"Also, let's add a double safeguard."

"If the Great Yu Dynasty Cultivators prepare to send people to explore the outside world, you will send everyone back to their brain tanks to continue their 'story'."

"When it's time to officially activate the Formation, you'll send them out again to activate it."

Yang Dian nodded slightly, indicating no problem, then descended to the center of the Formation, his muscles slowly beginning to ripple.

A moment later, he transformed into a Lingwen Clan member with azure skin and numerous glowing blue runes branded on his body.

Immediately after his transformation, the seawater around him began to ripple slightly.

Exactly one hundred Da Yu Cultivators, dressed in light green attire, appeared beside Yang Dian.

After the hundred Cultivators appeared beside Yang Dian, the leader, a third-rank official of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty named Zhou Wei, whose courtesy name was Fang Zhi, smoothly addressed Yang Dian:

"The communication Formation has been completely set up. All we need to do now is return to Emerald Dragon Star, bring back the other Da Yu Cultivators, and then we can officially activate the Formation."

Yang Dian was taken aback:

"Didn't you say that only 100 people were needed to activate the Formation?"

Zhou Wei smiled:

"Are you blaming this old man for deceiving you, young friend?"

After asking, Zhou Wei then sighed with emotion:

"Before this."

He pointed to the completed Formation:

"Before the Formation was completed, in this old man's memory, it indeed only required a hundred people to activate the Formation."

"But after the Formation was set up, a new memory suddenly appeared in this old man's mind."

"We must gather the strength of all those stranded on the Alien Planet to activate the Formation."

"This Formation is not only a communication Formation but also a Mind-Questioning Formation."

"After the Formation is activated, it will question the minds of those within it. Only by passing the mind-questioning trial will the Formation be officially activated and transmit information to the Immortal Dynasty."

As he spoke, he looked at Yang Dian with a profound gaze and said:

"If any information doesn't match or there are any omissions during the mind-questioning process, the Formation will self-destruct to prevent any accidents."

Yang Dian was greatly shocked.

The Great Yu Immortal Dynasty is cautious enough.

These twists and turns, they are one after another.

If he wasn't careful, he would really be led into a trap by them.

Fortunately, the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty is clever, but they are not bad either.

With the brain tank + real illusion combination, Yang Dian was not worried about them discovering anything.

As his thoughts churned, Yang Dian nodded slightly to the crowd without hesitation:

"Alright, but Senior also knows that it's not easy for me to open a cross-world passage."

"I need two days to prepare to open the passage."

Zhou Wei nodded slightly:

"In that case, you should leave the Formation and go outside to prepare for opening the passage."

"We need to conduct a final inspection of the Formation to ensure there are no problems."

Yang Dian nodded slightly and flew out of the Formation without looking back.

A moment later, Zhou Wei confirmed that Yang Dian had left the Formation's range, then turned to the other 99 people:

"Question each other's minds."

"Yes!" The crowd responded, then paired up, each extending an index finger to touch their colleague's brow.

"Name, origin, life story, secrets, magical power fluctuations, Mental Energy imprint, Soul information..."

As a large amount of information was verified one by one, Zhou Wei, detecting no problems, lowered his raised right hand and nodded to the person in front of him:

"Brother Xu, it seems there are no problems. Shall we activate the Formation now?"

That's right, the Da Yu Cultivators had tricked Yang Dian again.

The claim that they needed to gather the strength of all those stranded on the Alien Planet to activate the Formation was also a lie to Yang Dian.

Xu You, standing opposite Zhou Wei, heard Zhou Wei's question and frowned slightly:

"Logically, everything is normal, and it's time to activate the Formation and summon the Immortal Dynasty's army to descend."

"But for some reason, I feel a sense of unease, as if something bad will happen once the summoning begins."

Zhou Wei paced in a circle twice, then hardened his heart and said:

"To be honest, I, too, have this feeling, my younger brother."

"But what does it matter?"

"The Celestial Emperor suppresses the world, sweeping aside all opposition."

"Who in the world dares to disobey?"

"This younger brother has been away from home for over 300 years."

"When I left home, my thirty-sixth, seventy-second, ninety-seventh, and one hundred fifty-third concubines had just become pregnant, and my sixty-third concubine had just given birth."

"This younger brother, ah~ I miss home, I miss those unborn children."

"I wonder if they were bullied in my absence..."

Hearing Zhou Wei's lament, Xu You couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

If Zhou Wei felt this way, how could he not?

Before leaving home, who didn't have a few beautiful, pregnant concubines?

Thinking of his wives at home, Xu You slowly exhaled:

"In that case, let's activate the Formation and summon the Celestial Soldiers to descend."

As he spoke, he looked around the dark seabed with a hint of anticipation and greed.

"The Immortal Dynasty has an order: whoever discovers a new world will be rewarded with thirty million gold, officials below third rank will be promoted by two ranks, and those above third rank will be promoted by one rank. Celestial Officials will receive separate commendations."

"Besides this planet, we also discovered an Emerald Dragon Star."

"After we return to the Immortal Dynasty this time, can we skip a few ranks and directly become first-rank officials of the Immortal Dynasty?"
