A month and a half later, Han Lin stood motionless at the summit of a towering structure, his face expressionless, gazing downward at a lush green mountain range. To his sides, Fei Xiao Xi and Cao Ji stood slightly behind, likewise looking down. In the surrounding void, apart from the hundreds of flying war vessels patrolling in and out near the area, all the other colossal cloud clusters had vanished completely. Though the mountain range was not vast—only about a hundred miles across—the peaks of several of its taller mountains now showed flickers of incandescent light, and among the dense forests and stone formations, countless figures could be seen moving, with elevated platforms rising up in various heights. On each of these uneven stone platforms, delicate silvery spiritual patterns were inscribed, and numerous emerald banners were planted, radiating a gentle glow. Yet upon closer inspection, it became evident that each platform stood precisely upon a few key spiritual veins running through the mountain range. And at the heart of a valley nestled among several peaks, a colossal tree towering over a thousand zhang is growing at a visibly rapid pace, rising by a cun or more every hour, its form now nearly matching that of the surrounding mountains. Around the base of this great tree, a pale green magical array spanning hundreds of mu is inscribed upon the ground. Over a hundred wooden-clan cultivators, all at the Yuan Ying stage or above, are seated within the array, silently channeling their inner energy through precise hand seals and closed eyes. Radiating out from the valley, all the elevated platforms seem subtly interconnected, drawing the mountain's celestial and terrestrial qi in a frenzied surge toward the valley, and transforming the surrounding skies into shimmering, radiant bridges of fifty zhang each—vivid and splendid in color. Not only here, but at several adjacent smaller mountain ranges, tens of thousands of miles away, similar towering trees are also rapidly growing deep within the mountain ranges, with countless magical arrays and elevated platforms being constructed swiftly in their vicinity. If one gazes downward from an even higher expanse of emptiness, one can observe that within a radius of a million li, there are thirty-six such colossal array clusters, each centered around a small mountain range. Though these arrays have not yet been fully constructed, their positions are exquisitely arranged, subtly forming another, even more magnificent and dizzying super-array. At this moment, the primordial qi within the super-array's domain has already been stirred and activated, with various fluctuations beginning to shimmer faintly in the void. The entire region now exudes a sharp, ominous atmosphere. "But this Wood Realm array has taken longer to establish than we anticipated. It seems the other two array points are progressing even more slowly than ours. Won't the delay in timing jeopardize the overall plan?" Fei Xiaoxi glanced at Han Li, speaking with a cold tone. "I just received news yesterday that the main army ahead has only recently begun fighting the demonic forces, and is now following the agreed-upon strategy to lure the entire demonic army toward our Wood Realm array. Even if they arrive swiftly, it will still take them at least ten to fifteen days to reach here. By then, the array will already be fully completed. I'm genuinely concerned whether the Wood Realm array truly possesses the legendary power rumored about it—whether it can indeed decisively defeat the demonic forces!" Han Li replied calmly. "Rest assured, the Wood Realm's Thirty-Six Heavenly Immortal Array, even without deploying its reserve sacred trees, possesses power so profound that it is truly beyond measure." Now, with thirty-six holy trees buried within the array, its power surges severalfold—even a single great-being of the highest cultivation would find it extremely difficult to escape. As for ordinary demonic beings, they would certainly be utterly overwhelmed by this array. "I smile confidently and say, "The noble houses are willing to sacrifice thirty-six reserve holy trees at once. Clearly, this array is truly extraordinary. Yet even if your words are true and you are fully confident in its strength, the demonic forces should not be underestimated either. Especially the demonic sage ancestors—each of them has mastered the art of demonic cultivation to the highest degree, with numerous incarnations, making them exceptionally difficult to handle." Han Li pauses and speaks slowly. "The demonic sage ancestors, though formidable, will naturally be held in check by our senior elders and the noble elders. We have no need to worry so much." Fei Xiao Xi replies coldly. "Heh, the elders like San may be able to contain the main bodies of the demonic sage ancestors, but their various incarnations will likely go unattended." If I'm not mistaken, should the demonic faction truly send someone to break through the array, it will most likely be these Embodiments of the Holy Ancestors themselves," Han Li said with a smile. "Embodiments of the Holy Ancestors?" Upon hearing this, both Cao Ji and Fei Xiao Xi's faces slightly darkened. "Is it so? Have either of you faced off against these Embodiments of the Holy Ancestors before?" Their expressions could not be concealed from Han Li's keen eyes, and with a subtle shift in tone, they asked with clear intent. "During the full-scale demonic invasion, I once encountered an Embodiment of the Holy Ancestors while fighting a clan member of comparable cultivation level. After a fierce battle, we ended up with one dead and one wounded—my life was nearly lost." The wooden-clad Han's previously relaxed demeanor vanished, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. "Though I have never personally faced an Embodiment of the Holy Ancestors, many of my relatives and friends have fallen at their hands. Should I ever meet these Embodiments, I will personally confront them." Fei Xiao Xi spoke with a cold, composed demeanor. "Lady If you truly encounter those Bodhisattva incarnations alone, it would be wiser to simply turn and flee—otherwise, you'd merely be sacrificing yourselves in vain," the large wooden-clad man chuckled, offering the advice. Fei Xiao Xi, however, huffed softly, though she said nothing, clearly not listening. "Master Grass, there's no need to panic! Should this great array of the Wood Realm indeed prove as magnificent as you describe, and if we can harness its protective mechanisms, we certainly possess the strength to face off against these Bodhisattva incarnations—one on one. Of course, that's assuming the opponents come in one-on-one. Should a large number of them arrive at once, however, we may have to resort to alternative strategies." Han Li spoke calmly. "Alternative strategies? Does Master Han have a backup plan ready?" Master Grass's eyes sparkled with interest, asking eagerly. Fei Xiao Xi also seemed surprised. "As someone entrusted to guard this second array point, I have naturally made certain preparations in advance. Yet whether or not these preparations will truly suffice against the formidable forces remains to be seen." Han Li ran a hand over his chin and replied calmly. "I see that Brother Han has indeed made other preparations! With that, I am much more at ease." The large wooden-tribe man exhaled deeply, his expression truly relaxing. "From the tone of your words, Han, it seems you have a good understanding of these Shengzu incarnations of the Magian clans—have you perhaps faced them in direct combat?" Fei Xiao Xi suddenly asked. "Indeed, I have encountered them several times," Han Li replied after a moment of thoughtful reflection, speaking with calm composure. "But I'd like to know—what were the results of your encounters? I've heard that these Shengzu incarnations are far more formidable than ordinary late-Stage Consolidated Stage beings." Fei Xiao Xi's eyes sparkled as she continued to press with keen interest. "I have defeated two or three of them, yet I have also been pursued for tens of thousands of li by others." Han Li's expression remained unchanged, yet the words he spoke left both the Night-Charming Clan maiden and the wooden-tribe man utterly astonished. "Brother Han once defeated the avatar of the Magian Sage... Ah, now I understand—definitely, Brother Han must have commanded the entire clan's army, which enabled him to encircle and hold those avatars of the Sage in place with the combined strength of the army." Grass Ji immediately added, as if gaining clarity. Fei Xiao Xi, upon hearing this, also felt a sense of realization. With Brother Han's late-stage Consolidated Body stage cultivation, and further bolstered by the army's strength, it would indeed be feasible to surround and eliminate a single avatar of the Sage. "Ha ha, all the past matters now! What's crucial is—should the avatars of the Sage appear in large numbers, the two of you simply use the array's power to bind one each. The rest, I'll handle entirely." Han Li chuckled, not directly answering the elder from the Wood Clan's question, but instead spoke with confidence and composure. "Since you're so certain, then I'll rely heavily on Brother Han during the event." "Zhao Ji still felt somewhat doubtful, yet his tone carried a subtle sense of reverence, clearly indicating that he would place Han Li at the head of the defensive efforts. After all, regardless of whether Han Li had drawn upon the full strength of the clan's army when he defeated the Saint Ancestor's avatar, the fact that he had openly stated this achievement before them two made it impossible to doubt its authenticity. "As long as my esteemed friend can successfully handle the other Saint Ancestor avatars, I shall willingly follow your instructions," said Fei Xiao Xi, whose expression had shifted between uncertainty and resolve, finally bowing slightly. "Very well. Since both of you have placed your trust in me, Han Li shall do his utmost," replied Han Li with a gentle smile, promptly agreeing without hesitation. Thus, Han Li finally secured his position as the commander of the second array's core. Over the following days, the three of them took turns supervising the setup of the lower array points. By the fifth day, all the layers of magical arrays and restrictions around the second array were finally completed. All the Wood Clan guards and a large number of array mages rushed back into the various buildings atop the vast cloud cluster. Under Han Li's command, the jade-green cloud mass thundered down from the sky, landing precisely beside the valley where the towering giant tree stood. At the same time, the giant tree flashed with light, causing a surge of turbulent celestial and elemental energies to ripple through the surrounding space. Countless pale green luminous points surged forth from the void and swiftly flowed into the mountain range. Following a continuous series of booming resonances, the array flags on all the elevated platforms trembled as if the earth itself were shaking, then suddenly formed perfectly aligned layers of glowing screens in mid-air. Waves of green energy then surged out from all parts of the mountain range, instantly engulfing every peak in the verdant glow. By this point, the protective seals of the second array node had fully activated. Under the support of the younger Saint Tree, the dense network of magical array seals proved so formidable that even ordinary Consolidated Stage cultivators entering the area found themselves unable to exit. Half a month later, the spell arrays across the other mountain ranges were also completed in succession, and the entire Mu World's Thirty-Six Heavens Absolute Array was finally fully activated, transforming the entire expanse of a million li into a realm of relentless slaughter!
