Su Chen blushed with shame.
This gratitude was too insincere.
However, Su Chen didn't mind.
Who asked you to be my future mother-in-law?
Su Chen walked forward and asked, "Auntie, with your strength, how could the Scarlet Blood Flood Dragon hurt you?"
"Don't ask …"
Kong Miaoyin suddenly became irritated and glared at Su Chen angrily.
Su Chen was stunned.
Fine, fine, fine, I won't ask.
Kong Miaoyin was ashamed and resentful. How could she have the nerve to say that she was too careless when she was soaking in the hot spring and didn't notice the Scarlet Blood Flood Dragon's venom seeping into the hot spring. By the time she reacted, she was already powerless to resist.
The dignified Peacock Bright Monarch, a peak expert of the Eastern Fence Sea Region, was almost eaten by a flood dragon because of this. If this were to spread, it would be a disgrace.
Moreover, with the situation last night, Su Chen had probably seen all the parts of her body that he shouldn't have seen.
Don't mention this again!
Kong Miaoyin got up and left, saying, "In the cauldron is the Origin Returning Tonic Soup that I brewed. Drink it while it's hot. We'll officially start setting up the formation tomorrow."
So it's a soup for me?
Although Su Chen's injuries had already recovered, it was still his mother-in-law's kind intentions. How could Su Chen refuse? He immediately drank the boiling hot tonic soup.
The taste was unexpectedly good, and Su Chen could taste that this soup used at least three types of treasured herbs. The cost of this wasn't low.
The next day, in the skull of the dragon.
"The heart of the Hibernation Awakening Formation will be built here. I'll be in charge of the main formation. Take these Soul Calming Jades and carve the Eight Characters Secret Runes, Returning Heavenly Pivot Runes, Jing Binding Runes, and Enigma Illusionary Runes. Each rune has to be carved forty-nine times, in the order of Yin and Yang Tai Chi, Four Symbols and Eight Gates, Nine Palaces Heavenly Position, 28 Constellations, and Nine Nines Returning to Origin. Extend from the dragon skeleton to the edge of the island."
Kong Miaoyin handed a large chest of warm ancient jades to Su Chen.
This Soul Calming Jade had an extremely good ability to impart Dao to divine patterns. Generally speaking, it was used as the array core. However, this Hibernation Awakening Grand Array was too powerful. The Soul Calming Jade could only be used as a supplementary array.
Su Chen nodded repeatedly. "Understood."
Su Chen was extremely familiar with the structure of Grandmaster level runes and formations. Although he had never personally engraved one before, it shouldn't be difficult for him to get started.
It was just that the amount of work was a little ridiculous. He estimated that even if he didn't sleep or rest, it would take at least seven months, which was longer than expected.
But at this time, Kong Miaoyin's body suddenly trembled slightly, and an identical doppelganger was split out.
Su Chen had seen Kong Lingxuan's doppelganger technique before, so he wasn't too surprised.
Kong Miaoyin's doppelganger walked to Su Chen's side. Her main body said, "This doppelganger of mine doesn't have much strength, but she has all of my attainments in divine patterns. I will let her follow by your side and assist you. You can let her engrave some of the more basic divine patterns. Although the efficiency won't be too fast, it should save you a lot of time."
No matter how powerful a divine pattern master was, it was impossible for them to engrave divine patterns day and night without sleep. When their physical strength was exhausted, they had to replenish it as soon as possible. With this doppelganger, Su Chen wouldn't have to work 24/7.
"Many thanks, Auntie."
Su Chen led Kong Miaoyin's doppelganger back to the wooden house with a large chest of Soul Calming Jade.
Placing all of the Soul Calming Jade on the ground, Su Chen stepped on the divine patterns and set up a large array. He poured the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth into the Soul Calming Jade and activated its effects.
At the same time, it was exposed to the sun and bathed in the starlight.
Every step was extremely important. Su Chen couldn't be careless.
Fortunately, he had a little helper, which saved Su Chen a lot of time.
In the beginning, Su Chen was still somewhat fearful of Kong Miaoyin's doppelganger. But after two days, Su Chen gradually discovered that this doppelganger didn't have any self-awareness. Other than engraving divine patterns, it didn't know anything else. It was just like a puppet.
"The Peacock Race's doppelganger technique is indeed quite interesting. It's a pity that I can't learn it."
Su Chen's heart stirred. He walked in front of Kong Miaoyin's doppelganger and boldly poked her cheek.
There was no reaction.
Su Chen rubbed his palms together and let out a mischievous laugh.
But at this moment, Kong Miaoyin's voice sounded from the dragon skeleton. "Stinky brat, behave. Don't touch things that you shouldn't touch."
"Cough cough …"
Su Chen was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his arm.
That was close.
Su Chen took a deep breath and threw away all distracting thoughts. He took out the Scarlet Blood Flood Dragon's demonic core and swallowed it.
This demonic core originally contained a trace of intense poison. Su Chen had already used the methods of a spirit apothecary to cleanse the poison. Now, it was a demonic core with great nourishment that could be consumed directly.
After consuming the demonic core, Su Chen immediately circulated his essence force to refine it. Soon, he felt a surge of warmth in his lower abdomen.
"It is indeed the demonic core of a demonic beast at the 10th level of Reincarnation Realm. This energy is rather surging!"
For the next period of time, Su Chen concentrated on engraving divine patterns while refining the demonic core and absorbing the energy within. After more than ten days and nights, he finally absorbed all the energy within the demonic core.
His strength also rose along with the tide and smoothly broke through to the 6th level of Reincarnation Realm!
Without the assistance of the demonic core, his cultivation speed slowed down. Su Chen slowed down his cultivation speed and started to concentrate on engraving divine patterns. He repeated the process over and over again without feeling tired.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since he arrived at the desolate island.
"The Hibernation Awakening Grand Array is finally completed!"
At this moment, the entire desolate island was enveloped in a layer of special light barrier. The light barrier was divided into five layers and seemed to be enveloped by five-colored divine radiance. It was connected to the sky within a radius of ten thousand miles, the earth embryo qi in the depths of the earth, and the violent energy contained in the vast sea.
"After the grand array is officially activated, it will need to consume a huge amount of heaven and earth energy to operate. With the environment here, it can only last for about ten hours. Wait for me to officially undergo the tribulation before you activate the grand array." Kong Miaoyin said.
Su Chen asked, "Will there really be enemies coming?"
"The power of the Nine Nine Great Tribulation is beyond your imagination. By then, all the elite cultivators in the Eastern Fence Sea Region and the nearby sea regions will sense it. It is impossible to completely avoid them, especially the devil race. They will definitely think of ways to stop me from successfully undergoing the tribulation."
Su Chen frowned and said, "If that is the case, even if the Hibernation Awakening Grand Array can protect Auntie from the tribulation, it will be the real dangerous moment after the tribulation."
Kong Miaoyin nodded and said, "As long as I succeed in the tribulation, I won't fight. I will bring you and escape immediately. I won't let you be in danger."
"What if you fail the tribulation?"
Kong Miaoyin glanced at Su Chen indifferently.
"Then you will be buried with me."
Su Chen blushed with shame.
"I don't want to die. If you really fail the tribulation, I will definitely bring you and escape."
Kong Miaoyin shook her head and said, "If you really have the ability to escape, then run by yourself. Don't worry about me."
