I Just Won't Play by the Book - Chapter 457

457 The War (1)
The difficulty level of the Three Great Arrays was much higher than Jiang Beiran’s.

It took him five days to be able to operate two formations on the same formation core, and this third major formation took him half a month to set up.

What was even more ridiculous was that the system still did not pop up an option, which meant that there was still danger above.
‘Are these Mystic Venerables and Profound Sages practicing Taiji Fist up there?’

Later, through Lin Yuyan, Jiang Beiran learned from Lin Shiyun how the Six Nations had dealt with the awakening of the spirit vein.

Courtesy before violence.

When the top experts of the six states gathered at the new spirit vein, they did not start fighting immediately. Instead, they sat down and had a good talk. In any case, everyone was usually busy in seclusion, so it was not a bad opportunity to catch up.

As for the content of the discussion, it was different every time.

In the beginning, these old monsters would start fighting at the slightest disagreement. However, the commotion caused by the battle between Profound Sages and Profound Venerables was too great. There were even cases where the spirit veins were destroyed. Moreover, every Profound Sage and Profound Venerate was a treasure of the country. If they died or were seriously injured, it would be a huge loss.

Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, the Six Nations had come up with many more civilized methods.

The first was to auction it. If any country could meet the requirements of the other five countries, then this spirit vein would belong to that country.

However, most of the time, the Six Nations would always ask for an exorbitant price. Therefore, if they did not gamble on the Five Elements Spirit Vein, it was easy to suffer losses. In recent times, very few countries were willing to be the sucker.

The second was the martial arts tournament. Of course, the participants would not be old monsters like Mystique Venerable Rank and Mystique Sage Rank. Instead, they would be the Mystical Grandmaster Rank powerhouses selected by the various countries.

Firstly, the commotion caused by the Mystic Sect was not as ridiculous as that of Mystique Venerable One and Mystique Sage. Secondly, although losing a Mystic Sect was a little painful, it was far less painful than the pain caused by Mystique Venerable One and Mystique Sage.

However, after fighting a few times, this path was no longer feasible. First of all, since it was to fight for the spirit vein, they would definitely send the strongest mysterious sect in the country to fight. However, the strongest mysterious sect was usually a reserve Mystique Venerable One, and their value was also very high.

In addition, this martial arts competition was for the sake of fighting for the country’s treasure, the spirit vein. Therefore, there was no gentle rule like stopping when you reached the point.

The loss of a mysterious sect that was almost certain to advance to Mystique Venerable Rank was also unacceptable to the six dynasties.

Therefore, the rules could only be changed again. The participants of the martial arts tournament were changed from Xuanzong to cultivators under the age of two or five.

In this way, it basically became a battle between genius Mystic Kings. Although it was a pity for a genius of this level to die, it was much easier to accept compared to those half-step venerable mystic sects.

However, rules were only followed when everyone’s strength was about the same. If they encountered a country’s expert who suddenly became overconfident and disdained to sit down and negotiate with the other five countries, it would occasionally happen that they would directly start fighting.

However, Jiang Beiran was deep underground and had isolated himself from the rest of the world, so he was unable to detect what was happening above.

Senior Brother, it’s time to eat.”

“You guys eat first.” Jiang Beiran, who was thinking about how to use the Hidden Mysterious Armaments, answered.

“Yes.” Lin Yuyan nodded and retreated.

Returning to the table, Lin Yuyan looked at her aunt and said,””Let’s eat first.”

Lin Yuyan sighed in disappointment. Ever since they had come to the underground, Jiang Beiran had not cooked a single meal. This was too cruel for her, who had just been tempted.

Helplessly sitting at the dining table, Lin Shiyun picked up her chopsticks and whispered,””I wonder how long I will have to hide…”

“When Shixiong feels that it is safe, we can naturally leave safely.”Lin Yuyan said calmly.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Beiran, who was meditating and thinking. Although Lin Shiyun had a belly full of questions, she did not have the courage to ask them.

‘Sigh…I can only wait.

Five days later, Jiang Beiran connected a string of Five Accumulations Secret Silk to thirteen talisman treasures and chanted.

“My Qi is awe-inspiring, and I am leisurely circling the area.”

“Six Ding lead the way, Shan Fu Lai Ge.”

For a moment, the thirteen talismans that were connected in series began to spin in a circle, gradually forming a “black hole”.

‘Heavenly Eye Formation…Finally.

It was rare for Jiang Beiran to feel physically and mentally exhausted. He let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that it had been a long time since he had studied something so seriously.

[Mission completed. Reward: Luck +1]

Jiang Beiran’s heart dropped as he looked at the system prompt that finally popped up.

‘I’m only satisfied with three formations…This option is too good.

While Jiang Beiran was complaining, Lin Shiyun, who had also seen the ” black hole “, walked over and looked at it curiously. Her eyes would occasionally glance at Jiang Beiran, expressing her curiosity with her actions and expressions.

However, she was quickly dragged away by Lin Yuyan with a smile.

After a short rest, he stood in front of the black hole and chanted.

“You can stay in the rosy clouds and soar to Ziwei.”

“There is nothing in the world that I don’t know.”

The Heavenly Eye Array was a scouting-type array. After it was set up, it could observe any corner within a radius of a thousand miles.

In Jiang Beiran’s mind, since the first two layers of the formation had both concealment and defense, the only thing that was missing was information to anticipate the enemy’s advance.
