Chapter 1663 - Three-dimensional Formation

Formations are one of the things that a cultivator cannot do without. Formations play very important roles in a cultivator’s daily life. If they want to build a cave residence, they would need a formation. Formations can defend them as well as help in cultivation.

However, formations used by cultivators were two-dimensional. They centered on formation disks and had formation flags as its nodes to generate a field. Once this field was formed, it means that the formation has been successfully arranged.

Through various runes and positioning, formations would create their fields. The fields also absorb the surrounding energy in order to strengthen themselves or release it in another form. These were the most basic principles of formations.

Because of these principles, destruction of a node of the formation would affect the field produced. Thus, this setup should not be destroyed.

High-level formations were somewhat immune to this. Even if one or two nodes were destroyed, they would still function. High-level formations use very advanced materials. Sometimes, a node would be composed of two formation flags or a formation flag would count as two nodes. In this case, even if the formation was damaged, there would be backup nodes or formation flags to carry the formation’s functions. However, this doesn’t guarantee that the formation would be at its full power.

However, formations that were this resilient were rare. This was because manufacturing such formations needed advanced-level materials and high-level cultivators. Both of which were difficult to get at the same time.

On the other hand, three-dimensional formations had far more nodes than two-dimensional formations. This meant that its power would be greater. Also, this meant that even if a lot of nodes were destroyed, the formation could still retain the majority of its function.

Looking at all kinds of data regarding three-dimensional formations, Zhao Hai was speechless. He didn’t expect the metaleater mice to make a three-dimensional formation that cultivators struggled with for countless years. Now, cultivators calling themselves the apex beings has become somewhat of a joke.

Actually, Zhao Hai thought that this was incorrect. There’s nothing wrong with humans becoming the apex cultivators. But it was just that humans have their focus on a lot of things. Take formations, for example, there were a lot of formations which were related to every aspect of their life. Naturally, they wouldn’t have the energy to study three-dimensional formations.

The metaleater mice were different. They inadvertently focused themselves on developing their lair. For many years and without stopping, they kept improving their lair before they were able to make a three-dimensional formation. Their attention has never been diverted.

Zhao Hai turned his head to Cai’er and said, “Can we turn ordinary formations into three-dimensional formations?”

Cai’er frowned and said, “That would be difficult, but its possible. Young Master, take a look at this. The formation has a lot of nodes. If you look closely, each room in the lair is a node and the pathways are the lines. Arranged in this way, they make up the entire formation.”

Then Cai’er took out a formation blueprint and said, “This is a formation that we normally use. Because it is two-dimensional, there are fewer nodes. Moreover, the lines aren’t complex. It can be said that three-dimensional formations are many folds more complicated compared to two-dimensional formations. Researching three-dimensional formations will be very difficult.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Take your time. I believe that these three-dimensional formations would be very useful to us.” Cai’er nodded. She also knew how three-dimensional formations would help them.

Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn’t let them study on their own, he would also participate. Although he was a little behind the others when it came to researching formations, his knowledge was enough for him to become an expert in the outer world.

Since nobody comes to the Ignored Valley, Zhao Hai’s time was very relaxed. Originally, he thought of exploring the Black Tiger Gang’s territory. But now his plans were delayed because of the three-dimensional formation.

However, Zhao Hai didn’t mind it. He was charmed by the three-dimensional formations. He looked like a kid who had discovered a new toy to play with.

The research went on for two months. Zhao Hai went back to the Space several times. At the same time, he sent Zhang Hao materials and pills that he had recycled.

Zhang Hao didn’t feel that anything had changed in Zhao Hai. In fact, to any cultivator, Zhao Hai’s situation was a dream.

Cultivators require materials and pills in their cultivation. With Zhao Hai placed in the Ignored Valley, he essentially has unlimited materials and pills to use. If Zhang Hao had the ability, he wouldn’t want to leave.

Zhao Hai didn’t turn everything into useful materials. This was because there was no need to do so. If he gave too many materials, then Zhang Feng might turn his attention back to him. Because of this, Zhao Hai wasn’t too anxious. He just sent back some herbs and basic materials to Zhang Feng.

After two months, Zhao Hai finally was able to get a grasp on three-dimensional formations. Just like what Cai’er said, three-dimensional formations weren’t easy. Even with the Space’s capabilities, it still took two months before progress was made.

Making three-dimensional formations was like wanting to draw a cylinder out of a circle drawn on the ground. It wasn’t an easy task.

The Space has the Universal Scanner, and with the Space’s innate analytical ability, they were finally able to turn the formations that they have into three-dimensional formations.

…………………………………

Zhao Hai was currently in the Space, standing in front of the Hell King’s ship. Beside him were Laura and the others. All of them were looking at the Hell King’s Ship as if waiting for something.

After some time, Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, “Begin.” Cai’er nodded and then waved her hand. Before long, white light began to cover the Hell King’s Ship.

As the light moved, the formations in the Hell King’s Ship were upgraded to be three-dimensional. Zhao Hai and the others wanted to see what changes would happen to the ship.

Before long, the white light vanished. The Hell King’s Ship was still present, no changes could be seen from outside. Zhao Hai turned his head to Laura and the others and said, “Let’s go up and take a look.” Then the group proceeded to fly towards the Hell King’s Ship.

The group immediately felt the changes the moment they started up the Hell King’s Ship. The ship has become faster and more flexible. Additionally, it consumed less energy. In the past, if the Hell King’s Ship wanted to go at full speed, it would need to consume fifty percent of the Yin-Yang Lightning Pond’s storage. But now, it would only consume five percent.

Ten times reduction! For cultivators this reduction was very huge. A ten times reduction in energy consumption meant that the ship’s capabilities had increased ten times!

What does a multiplication of ten mean? It was enough for a normal Immortal Stage cultivator to go against Dao Avatar-stage cultivators. This was an increase of an entire stage!

If two experts of the same level battle and then one of them has an attack that was ten times as strong, then wouldn’t they win immediately? If this news were to go out, cultivators would go crazy.

Zhao Hai experimented more with the Hell King’s Ship. Not only was the ship’s speed better, its defenses and impact strength has increased as well. Most importantly, the cannons of the ship have become stronger.

After trying out the ship for some time, Zhao Hai and the others returned to the villa. Cai’er immediately played the recording of the Hell King’s Ship. Beside the video were data regarding the ship’s operation.

Cai’er pointed towards the numbers and said, “Young Master, ever since we upgraded the Hell King’s Ship, the energy consumption has decreased by ten times, the speed doubled, the defenses increased by five times, the agility tripled, and its offensive capabilities has increased by six times. And this is under normal operation and not at its full state. We succeeded!”

Looking at Cai’er’s excited expression, Zhao Hai was happy as well. He smiled and said, “We succeeded. Hahaha. Good, fantastic!” Laura and the others also cheered. This was the fruit of their labor.

Meg looked at everyone and said, “I’ll go prepare some delicious food. We have to celebrate.” After she said that, she ran to the kitchen. Meg has also been working in the past two months. Moreover, her knowledge about formations wasn’t low. She also needed to take care of everyone. In these two months, she was the one who worked the hardest.

Seeing Meg prepare the food, Laura and the others immediately went to help. Zhao Hai looked at the women and smiled. Zhao Hai knew that the past two months were one of their happiest times. This was because besides giving Zhang Hao the materials and pills, Zhao Hai spent most of his time inside the Space.

Before long, a table of dishes has been prepared. Zhao Hai and the others sat down and ate. Although they stayed together every day, they still had endless things to talk about. The atmosphere was very good.

After eating their meal, the group went to the hot spring to relax. They ate fruits and wine as they soaked in the warm water. Cai’er looked at Zhao Hai who was being massaged by Megan and said, “Young Master, what do you plan to do next?” Her question attracted everyone’s attention.

Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, “I plan to close up.”
