Chapter 268
This was a world of gods and demons, anything was possible, if they were tracked down because of careless traces left behind, it would be a colossal mistake.
"Yes, Young Master." Cecilia nodded.
After everything was packed away, Adam and Cecilia returned to the ship and continued sailing toward their target sea region.
The subsequent voyage was completely smooth, without further incidents, they arrived at the target area.
This was a location Adam had meticulously selected, it was rarely traversed, and even if someone did pass by, under the cover of his formations, they wouldn’t notice what he was doing here.
Adam had considered using the island where the Thousand-Year Old Corpse was sealed as his secret base, but there was a constant safety risk looming over it, even with the seal reinforced, he didn’t feel completely at ease.
Furthermore, it was an island that had only surfaced due to the Heaven and Earth Upheaval. What if it suddenly sank back into the ocean once the upheaval ended? Who would he complain to then?
So ultimately, he chose this spot.
Although this sea region had absolutely no islands, just an empty expanse of deep blue, that wasn’t a huge problem.
As a Formation Master, Adam could utilize formations to create a brand-new island from scratch, having an island that wasn’t marked on any sea chart was the safest approach.
After anchoring the ship, Adam flew high into the sky and pulled out a massive handful of storage bags, all packed full of spirit stones.
He had burned through many spirit stones sealing the Thousand-Year Old Corpse, but the pirates and the Deep Clan men had generously contributed a massive amount to him.
It roughly brought him back to break-even, he definitely wasn’t short on spirit stones right now.
Massive quantities of spirit stones rained down, radiating beautiful, sparkling light like a shower of glowing rain. Adam was laying down the grand array.
Meanwhile, Cecilia went into the cabin and brought out the cargo.
These were the provisions, seeds, and building materials they had purchased in Hundred Rivers City.
They were stored in large Storage Crates, storage Crates possessed much larger spatial capacities than Storage Bags, but because they were bulky and inconvenient to carry, they were primarily used for transporting large cargo on ships.
Cecilia moved everything onto the deck.
Above, Adam had finished the formation, a colossal formation pattern materialized, glowing brilliantly over the deep blue sea’s surface.
Then, the ocean violently quaked, the calm surface instantly boiled into raging, churning waves, countless massive splashes shot into the air, and the ship rocked violently, creaking under the strain.
A deafening roar echoed from the depths, followed by an unimaginably massive black shadow rising rapidly beneath the surface.
"Cecilia, steer the ship back!" Adam roared.
"Yes, Young Master!" Cecilia didn’t dawdle and immediately controlled the ship to retreat.
The waves grew even more frenzied, a black, rocky tip broke the surface from the ocean depths, slowly growing larger and larger.
It grew as big as a bed, then as big as a house, then as big as a small hill, until it finally expanded to the size of an entire island.
However, there were no trees or rivers on it.
Only barren seabed reefs, shifting sands, and rocks.
It wasn’t suitable for living right now, which was exactly why Adam had purchased so many supplies in Hundred Rivers City.
This included diverse plant seeds and young animals.
As for fresh water, setting up a seawater-desalination formation later would easily solve the problem, nothing difficult at all.
The most crucial step now was to bring the Gongsun Tribe over from the Spirit-Forsaken Land, with enough manpower, terraforming an empty island was simple.
"Wow! Young Master, formations really are incredibly miraculous!" Cecilia flew up to Adam’s side, looking down at the massive, newly formed island beneath their feet, her beautiful eyes brimmed with pure wonder.
"Naturally, the profundity of the Dao of formations is endless!" Adam smiled and nodded.
"Do you want to learn? Once we finish this task, I can teach you!"
"Really?" Cecilia asked, pleasantly surprised.
"Of course!"
"That’s wonderful! Thank you, Young Master!"
Adam smiled faintly, formations were a profound and extensive field of study, at least in his eyes.
But now, they had been reduced to a marginal existence, even with the Heaven and Earth Upheaval, not many people knew how to use them.
Formations were divided into many types, illusion formations, killing formation, bewildering formations, confinement formation.
They were also divided into grades, Yellow-grade, Profound-grade, Earth-grade, Heaven-grade, and the most powerful, Innate Formations.
Innate Formations were extremely mysterious and heaven-defying, they were born alongside the evolution of the heavens and the earth.
They could suppress an entire region of the world and defy the heavens, the most famous was the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
Adam had previously laid down a weakened version, yet its power was already enough to crush a Ninth Heaven Deity.
If a true Innate Formation were deployed, even a Saint Realm entity wouldn’t break through.
Of course, deploying such a formation required a massive price, including astronomical resources, and the Formation Master needed exceptionally high attainments.
Therefore, formations were a truly heaven-defying existence, this was why ancient cultivators placed such heavy emphasis on them.
Formations were a crucial reliance that allowed ancient cultivators to contend with opponents far stronger than themselves.
"I’m going to set up a teleportation formation now to head to the Spirit-Forsaken Land first, Cecilia, keep an eye on things here, I’ll be back in a bit!" Adam patted Cecilia’s head.
The spirit stones from Hundred Rivers City were only enough for him to traverse space alone.
With so many people in the Spirit-Forsaken Land wanting to come over, he had to set up a massive array on their side. Only the spirit stone veins there had sufficient energy.
"Alright, Young Master. Rest assured, I will guard the island well." Cecilia nodded.
"Mhm." Adam nodded, he then took out pile after pile of storage rings, poured out all the spirit stones inside, and distributed them systematically across various locations on the island.
