304: Chapter 304 The Star Formation is activated, and enemies from beyond the heavens arrive!
This was a young man with lively eyes, seemingly not very old.
However, the powerful energy leaking casually from his body and the unfathomable aura he exuded left no doubt about his strength.
He was the administrator here, Meng Jun.
A peerless Genius who had reached the Immortal Realm after Cultivating for less than a hundred years.
He was also one of only three in the Immortal Realm within this building.
Although he was only a department manager, his strength was extraordinary, and he did not like to associate with others.
As a result, this floor only had this one department, and it was rarely visited, making it very quiet.
Usually, in a month, the time he spent coming to work did not exceed 10 days.
Sometimes, he would only come after a very long time.
On this day, on a whim, he came to his office early in the morning.
But not long after staying, he felt a bit bored and simply lay down to sleep.
He was lying lazily, a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he were having a sweet dream.
After the alarm sounded, he sprang up, and a strong golden light burst from his eyes.
"An alarm that hasn't been triggered in over two hundred years?"
"And it's a planet in a remote star system?"
He waved his hand gently.
Instantly.
A young girl with a round face appeared before him.
Blinking her large, dark eyes, her voice was soft and sweet.
"Sir, do you have any instructions?"
Meng Jun frowned.
"Meng Xiaobao, who did you learn these bad rules from!"
The girl pouted and muttered.
"Didn't you say we should use titles when outside~"
Her eyes rolled, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Brother, if you have something to say, say it quickly…"
Seeing the other party's eyes turn serious, she put away her playful heart.
"Brother, tell me, what do you want me to do."
Meng Jun nodded, operated the screen in front of him, and then said.
"In a star system below, a planet has been detected where more than 10 Transcendence Realm beings have been born; they are likely applying for an independent planet."
"Go verify it and register their information."
Meng Xiaobao puffed out her cheeks and nodded. "Alright, Brother!"
Seeing her about to leave without a word, Meng Jun's heart stirred, "Wait."
He took a sphere from his bosom and handed it to her.
"This matter is quite suspicious; no major Family has reached out recently, so perhaps there are some good seedlings."
"Go understand the situation first. If they are worth befriending, give this as a congratulatory gift."
Meng Xiaobao took the sphere and said in surprise.
"So much Immortal divinity, Brother, why are you suddenly so generous?"
Meng Jun couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Just do as I say, why so much nonsense?"
Meng Xiaobao closed her mouth, made a face, and skipped away.
After a long time, Meng Jun sighed.
Because he touched the interests of Lord Baishui, his cultivation was Sealed, and he was assigned here.
Now, the Meng Family no longer had an Immortal Realm expert sitting in charge and had gradually declined.
His younger sister had no backing and no resources, so the probability of her breaking through to the Immortal Realm was not high.
He was unwilling to let his sister depend on others and rely on other forces.
Perhaps this matter would bring some opportunity?
He pondered in his heart.
After Xiao Yuntian and the other failed their Breakthrough, Zhang Jian became much more cautious.
He not only did not rashly let others try.
Even when Instructor Wang Weidong and the others absorbed Star Power to the limit of their current Realm, he did not rush to let them break through.
Instead, he let them familiarize themselves with the combat methods of circulating Star Power.
He wanted them to stabilize their strength completely before breaking through.
And just as he had manufactured another batch of Star Cores and traded them all to Yun Kai and his son.
The Will of the Heavenly Dao came to him and told him some unfortunate news.
The Void God Clan warship they had been keeping an eye on had suddenly accelerated and entered this star system.
The enemy's early arrival caught Zhang Jian off guard.
But soon, he calmed his mind.
Soldiers come, block them; water comes, cover it with earth.
He would just fight!
To be safe, he prepared to activate the Formation he had exchanged from Yun Kai to establish a defense first.
Only.
When he asked Wang Fei and the others to try to activate it, he discovered.
This Formation required a special Cultivation Technique to properly activate and run.
After communicating with Ming Kai, the other party claimed that this Cultivation Technique was not difficult to learn, and ten days would be enough.
But where would Zhang Jian find ten days now?
In the vision shared by the Will of the Heavenly Dao.
The warship would arrive at Water Blue Planet in at most three days.
By the time he taught everyone this Cultivation Technique and activated the Formation, Water Blue Planet would probably have already changed hands!
In the wilderness of Ta City, in a camper two kilometers from the crack.
Countless screens were densely packed, playing real-time images.
And the content on the screens was the scene around the crack from various directions.
When Drew in the car saw Zhang Jian and the others appear and point at the crack, he became extremely nervous.
"Could they be trying to block the crack?"
Huang Tianfang's expression also tightened.
He had betrayed Zhang Jian and joined this side, and seeing that he was about to soar to great heights following Lord Blood Shadow.
But seeing Zhang Jian's group coming aggressively, they didn't seem easy to deal with.
Blood Shadow narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
"No."
"It is easy to create a space crack, but sewing it up is much harder."
"Only someone in the Immortal Realm would have such strength."
Drew and Huang Tianfang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But they heard Blood Shadow continue.
"Looking at them, it seems they are setting up some kind of Formation to establish defensive measures."
Drew frowned.
"If that's the case, will it block the messengers of the Universe Alliance and affect our big plan?"
Blood Shadow glanced at him with disdain.
"Block the messengers?"
"How could they have such means? And it's even more impossible for them to have such courage!"
"Look at this group of people; there are three in the Transcendence Realm, and dozens have already reached the Peak of the planet-level."
"I'm afraid they want to stall for time and seize ownership of Water Blue Planet!"
Drew opened his mouth wide.
"No way?"
"We have the help of our Lord to break through to ten Transcendence Realm experts, they only have three right now, how long would it take for them to reach ten?"
A cold light flashed in Huang Tianfang's eyes.
Blood Shadow pointed at the three who had broken through to the Transcendence Realm, all of whom he knew.
Instructor Wang Weidong and his wife, Ming Li, were Zhang Jian's teachers when he was in school.
Ye Xun was said to be from the background of a Leader in the Ta City market.
Just three ordinary people like this, simply because they had a relationship with Zhang Jian and clung to his thigh, their strength rose with the tide.
Before, when he was in the squad, Wang Fei had been very respectful to these people, which made him a bit uncomfortable.
Now.
These three had actually broken through to the Transcendence Realm.
Huang Tianfang's expression became increasingly ugly.
Zhang Jian, Wang Fei!
These two guys who looked down on people!
With his own background, rich combat experience, and outstanding leadership qualities.
How could he not be better than those three wastes?
Having Star Core resources, not prioritizing his own Breakthrough, but giving it to those three?
And they used the excuse that only better resources would be used on him.
Right now, he used a five-star Star Core to break through, and according to Lord Blood Shadow, this was already the treatment of an elite from a medium-sized planet in the outside world.
Six-star Star Cores and above could only be obtained by core members of major Families.
Ordinary synthesis methods could not obtain them either.
Even if Zhang Jian's methods were Heaven-Defying, he absolutely did not have such things.
As for what he promised Wang Fei, himself, and others, to use seven-star or higher top-grade Star Cores to break through, it was simply fake!
Huang Tianfang hated deeply in his heart.
It was clear that they treated him as an outsider.
Looking at Zhang Jian's worried expression on the screen, Huang Tianfang finally showed a smile.
You didn't value me, now you've trapped yourself, right?
In fact.
When Zhang Jian brought people to the crack.
The Will of the Heavenly Dao reminded him that there were people probing nearby.
Zhang Jian casually used his Mental Energy to perceive the presence of Blood Shadow and the others.
Just a group of Transcendence Realm, none with Star Power over a thousand.
They couldn't pose a threat to him at all.
As for the defected Huang Tianfang, he didn't care at all.
If there was a chance, he would just let Wang Fei deal with him.
Right now, there was no time to deal with them.
The establishment of the Formation could not be delayed!
After letting everyone try and confirming that no one had the talent to quickly understand and learn the Cultivation Technique.
In desperation, Zhang Jian thought of his own affixes and decided to learn it himself.
This Formation, called [Star Formation], was created by simulating the orbital trajectories of planets.
It required at least three Transcendence Realm beings with standard Star Power to initially operate.
Higher-level effects required nine, twenty-seven, and eighty-one Transcendence Realm beings to sit in and operate it respectively.
What Zhang Jian needed now was to first figure out the most Elementary activation method so that Wang Fei and the others could operate it.
After getting this Cultivation Technique, Zhang Jian was amazed just by looking at it.
Over a dozen pages of detailed explanations of the Formation, with a lot of content.
No wonder Ming Kai said it would take at least ten days.
Just reading through this content would probably take a day or two.
However.
That was for ordinary people.
Now, Zhang Jian's Mental Energy points exceeded 100,000, far surpassing the category of ordinary people.
Photographic memory was just a basic operation, and instant understanding was the norm.
When he immersed his mind, several major affixes exerted their power one after another.
The +2 [Source Enlightenment] directly brought a 200% extra learning speed.
Allowing his understanding speed of the Cultivation Technique to increase significantly in an instant.
It took him only one day to learn it initially.
When he wanted to release Star Power to activate the Formation.
An embarrassing scene occurred.
When it was less than half activated, there wasn't enough Star Power!
Zhang Jian looked at the panel; the Star Core he had fused was still the previous four-star Star Core.
Its own Star Power limit was limited.
However, he did not panic.
The [External Star Core Cultivation Technique] had already been upgraded to the Major Achievement Realm, and it could fuse up to a six-star Star Core.
If worse came to worst, he would just re-absorb one!
He picked up a six-star Star Core and began to circulate the Cultivation Technique.
He hadn't used this Cultivation Technique for several days, and he thought he would be a bit rusty.
But just the moment he operated it, countless insights and experiences flooded his heart.
It was extremely easy!
Just ten hours.
Pop~
With a crisp sound, the Star Core quietly fused into Zhang Jian's body.
So fast?
Zhang Jian looked stunned.
Thinking of the absorption time improvement brought by the Advanced Star Core and the additional bonuses of the affixes, he was relieved.
From the panel, he also saw the corresponding attributes.
[Unnamed]
Star Power storage limit: 0 / 3600 (+ 2160) / 12000 (+ 7200)
Usable time: 96 hours
Replacement interval: 12 hours
A full 5860 points of usable limit!
Zhang Jian was spirited.
This effect was nearly ten times better than before, so it should be enough.
It was just that with such a high limit, it would still take some time to increase it.
He had just thought so.
"Talent [Cosmic Symbiosis Dao Contract] successfully triggered."
"A devout believer is Cultivating and has offered you 2 points of Star Power."
"Talent [Cosmic Symbiosis Dao Contract] successfully triggered."
"A devout believer is Cultivating and has offered you 250 points of Star Power."
Several consecutive prompts made Zhang Jian pause.
They came at a good time!
From this value, he could tell that it should be Ming Kai and his son who were Cultivating.
At this speed, he would probably need...
Zhang Jian quickly got the answer.
About four or five days.
This efficiency was already very fast, and Zhang Jian didn't even have to do anything.
But he was still a bit dissatisfied.
Time waits for no one!
Zhang Jian was also decisive, directly preparing a seven-star Star Core and beginning to absorb it.
In less than a minute.
The Star Core in his body moved slightly.
On the panel, 1 point of Star Power had already been added.
This speed was not slow.
Moreover, Zhang Jian had other tricks up his sleeve.
After patiently absorbing for an hour.
The special effect of the [Reward of Knowledge] affix was triggered.
The speed of the numbers on the panel increased sharply.
Almost once every two seconds.
Every two times, it could increase by 3 points.
This was the power of this affix:
When using an Advanced Star Core that exceeds one's own external Star Core limit, continuous absorption for over 1 hour takes effect; every 10 cumulative hours accumulates 1 progress point.
After the affix took effect, Zhang Jian's Star Power also ushered in a surge.
In just about three hours, it reached the usable limit.
But Zhang Jian did not stop.
Instead, he continued to absorb.
After all, it was not easy to activate the affix, so it was better to accumulate 1 progress point first.
Anyway, the excess part could be borne by the temporary limit.
And.
Zhang Jian also discovered that he could actually continue to absorb Star Cores while activating the Formation.
After letting Wang Fei and the other squad members help block Drew and the others who were making trouble outside.
Zhang Jian stood alone in front of the crack and operated patiently.
500 points.
1000 points.
2000 points...
As Star Power was continuously consumed, the Formation gradually fluctuated and revealed itself.
From the position covering the crack.
To spreading to a radius of over a thousand meters.
And then to surrounding the entire Ta City.
There was still no sign of stopping.
Anyway, Zhang Jian's Star Power could keep up, so he just continued to output.
5000 points.
8000 points.
10000 points.
In Zhang Jian's Star Core, the Star Power had already circulated nearly two full turns.
He had also continuously absorbed for 10 hours, and the affix progress had increased by 1 point.
But the Formation still showed no signs of stopping.
He gritted his teeth.
He simply continued to operate it.
And the scope of the Formation was constantly expanding.
From Ta City, it continued to spread outward.
Until the nearby counties and cities, and then to the provincial capital, Lanhe City.
The Star Power that Zhang Jian output in a cycle had already reached 50,000 points.
The progress of the affix had increased by another 2 points.
At this moment, Zhang Jian actually relaxed.
He prayed inwardly that the expansion of the Formation would not stop.
It would be best to cover the entire Water Blue Planet, then it would be foolproof.
But after he thought so.
The situation changed instead.
Just as the affix gained progress for the 8th time and increased by 1 level directly.
Boom!
In Zhang Jian's mind.
A sudden shock.
An extraterrestrial warship suddenly squeezed into his mind.
He realized that someone had invaded the Formation.
The Void God Clan had arrived!
