Chu Tian's first thought was that someone had injured them from the shadows!
"N-No... no problem!"
Old Yang slowly leaned back against something as he supported himself.
Wei Du also waved his hand, indicating he was fine.
This made Chu Tian frown, feeling strange.
Just as he was about to speak, a faint, ethereal voice suddenly came.
"A mustard seed contains Mount Sumeru, Mount Sumeru contains a mustard seed.
Without beginning or end, arising... abiding... decaying... vanishing.
The cycle of four kalpas...
Sumeru heaven and earth... arise!"
Chu Tian's words were interrupted by this voice.
Distinguishing carefully, it was Miao Zuo's voice.
He looked around, and everyone was there.
Only Miao Zuo was missing!
*Buzz...*
At this moment, the world changed, and a mist rose around Dengxian Island.
Chu Tian was startled. Wasn't this Dengxian Island's Sumeru Grand Formation?
The first wave of the heavenly tribulation, the rain of lightning, had already destroyed this grand formation.
Thinking of Miao Zuo's voice just now, Chu Tian's heart rejoiced.
It must be this fellow who had repaired the grand formation.
Previously, he had the idea of occupying Dengxian Island as his permanent residence.
Later, after seeing Zheng Enlai's coffin-board-faced clone, he abandoned this idea.
He had originally planned to pretend to return to the Shattered Star and then directly activate the main cannon to blast this place flat.
He figured that even if that coffin-board-faced clone was strong, it couldn't possibly withstand a shot from the Shattered Star.
However, Chu Tian was also a bit apprehensive at the time, unsure of how much energy needed to be transferred to the cannon.
If too much was given, perhaps a single shot could destroy Blue Star.
Back in the bloody world, he could have fully charged the main cannon, directly destroying half the planet of the Blood Race world.
The size of that planet was nothing compared to the humble Blue Star.
Blue Star's area was only similar to the Sea of Death.
But the Sea of Death was merely a sealing ground of the Xuantián Star.
The Blood Race world was said to be more than ten times larger than the Xuantián Star.
However, before this idea of his could be implemented, the heavenly tribulation suddenly descended.
It directly interrupted his thoughts.
Dengxian Island was also destroyed into a barren land under the heavenly tribulation.
Chu Tian lost any desire to possess it.
A patch of scorched earth? Let the ghosts have it!
The only thing that piqued his curiosity was the magnificent palace, entirely built from Huanghuali wood from the South China Sea.
Its grandeur and majesty made it seem like a celestial palace had descended here.
Moreover, after the heavenly tribulation descended.
What was the faint yellow light it emitted?
It prevented him from entering and seemed to be immune to the lightning of the heavenly tribulation.
However...
When he woke up, the place had miraculously regained its lush greenery, and even the scorched earth from the lightning strikes had disappeared.
The mountain springs were also gushing and flowing again.
He estimated that Gao Kai and the others had also followed his words after their enlightenment.
They had rushed to the Ma family and moved many things.
Seeing his virtual pod sitting there, Chu Tian knew that besides the two villas in the Ma family world,
They had probably moved everything else!
*Whoosh...*
As Chu Tian was lost in thought.
A sound of tearing through the air appeared.
Everyone looked up, and it was Miao Zuo returning.
The fellow had an excited expression on his face.
"Haha, this Sumeru Grand Formation is truly incredible. It took me a full day and a half to understand its operation."
As he spoke, he sounded a bit smug.
A day and a half was a very short time, as everyone understood.
This Sumeru Grand Formation was clearly extraordinary, likely an ancient formation left behind.
For him to have figured it out and repaired it in such a short time was remarkable.
At this moment, not praising him as a genius would be unreasonable.
However, everyone tacitly understood and looked up at the sky.
No one actually praised him.
Having spent time together recently, they all understood his temperament.
This fellow was someone who would seize any opportunity to show off.
"It's repaired, but what if that Zheng Enlai comes back? Wouldn't he be able to enter?"
Gao Kai frowned, considering this point.
"Him...? Don't worry, I've already thought of that. I've changed the activation method of the grand formation.
And... I discovered that when they activated this grand formation before, they were only scratching the surface.
The formation's primary function is integrated offense and defense, with defense as the priority and offense as secondary...
Illusion is tertiary... I studied it, and when the Sumeru Grand Formation's defense is fully activated, even your heavenly tribulation, boss, would probably be completely blocked!"
Miao Zuo shook his head and swayed, speaking with a look of excitement.
"What?" Chu Tian exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.
He knew how powerful his heavenly tribulation was.
For Miao Zuo to claim that this grand formation could completely withstand his heavenly tribulation.
It made Chu Tian somewhat disbelieving.
He felt Miao Zuo might be exaggerating.
"It's true... but to fully activate it... is even harder!
When I inspected it, I found that the grand formation actually had no core.
The core of the formation was missing..." Miao Zuo's expression changed.
"A formation missing its core can still operate? Brother Miao... they might lack common sense, but you shouldn't fool me!"
Lin Ran interjected.
"Who are you saying lacks common sense?" Lin Yu suddenly took offense, glaring at Lin Ran.
Everyone also turned their gaze to him.
"Ennnn..." Lin Ran felt a chill run down his spine.
He couldn't help but want to slap himself twice.
After a moment of speechlessness, he quickly said, "My elder brother... I'm talking about my elder brother, Lin Chi!"
He sensed that if he didn't speak, he might be mobbed.
So, he chose the lesser of two evils.
"You..." Lin Chi reacted immediately.
He retaliated with a slap, hitting the back of Lin Ran's head.
*Slap...*
Lin Ran, who had just been showing off his power in the sky, was thus slapped by Lin Chi and fell to the ground.
He face-planted, eating dirt.
"Haha... Alright, no more fooling around. Since the grand formation is activated, this place is considered safe.
Let's tidy up and move into... that luxurious palace!
From now on... this will be our home!"
The lingering tension after the battle dissipated amidst their roughhousing.
Having claimed such a treasure trove, Chu Tian was naturally happy.
Everyone also burst into laughter.
At the same time, the word "home" began to sprout in their hearts.
Amidst the laughter and joy, they didn't use their movement techniques to fly.
Instead, they walked step by step through the forests, over mountains and ridges, towards the buildings.
At this moment, everyone finally relaxed their minds.
The past few days had been truly exhausting.
As they walked, Ma Deju, with his large belly, suddenly let out a rumbling sound.
The fellow immediately darted in front of Chu Tian.
He suggested having a picnic barbecue amidst the green hills and clear waters.
Hearing his suggestion, Chu Tian also became interested.
He asked everyone, and they all agreed: "Let's do it!"
