According to their understanding, these things were completely useless to Ao Yuan.
In just an instant, they thought of many answers.
But no matter which answer it was, they couldn't perfectly explain why Ao Yuan wanted these things.
Puzzled, they couldn't help but want to ask Dai Xiao Mei further.
However, just as they organized their thoughts and were about to ask, they saw Dai Xiao Mei, who had been giving orders, looking at the Sky Coins not far away with stars in her beautiful eyes.
Turning their heads, they saw Ao Yuan flying over from a distance and finally landing in front of them.
"Daiai! You're back!"
Dai Xiao Mei hurried to greet Ao Yuan.
"Look, Elder Long has almost prepared these things. Do you want to see them?"
Dai Xiao Mei pointed to the military trucks parked nearby.
"No need."
Ao Yuan glanced at them briefly and then withdrew his gaze.
He had already sensed the spiritual energy contained within.
Not much, if it weren't for the large quantity, a single item wouldn't be comparable to the current spiritual energy abundance of Blue Star.
Could these things really be used to set up a Spirit Gathering Array?
Ao Yuan wasn't sure, but he had to try to find out if it would work.
It could be said that this attempt by Ao Yuan was not just an attempt to set up a Spirit Gathering Array, but also an attempt to set up other arrays.
However, the Spirit Gathering Array was the simplest, and if he could get verification from it.
Then the other arrays should also be able to be set up properly.
Ao Yuan turned his head to look at the group of nearly dripping demon kings beside him and said, "You all move these things down first."
"Okay!"
The many demon kings quickly nodded and immediately rushed towards the military trucks.
They had wanted to see for a long time, and now that they had Ao Yuan's instructions, how could they hold back?
Seeing that all the demon kings had started to act, Ao Yuan closed his eyes and fell into thought.
He silently flipped through the introduction to the Spirit Gathering Array in the Basic Array Compendium.
"Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun, Gen, Dui – the eight cardinal directions."
"Qian represents Heaven, Kun represents Earth, Kan represents Water, Li represents Fire, Zhen represents Thunder, Xun represents Wind, Gen represents Mountain, Dui represents Marsh."
"Using spirit stones to shake the spiritual energy from the eight directions and gather it into one location – this is the Spirit Gathering Array!"
Ao Yuan murmured, carefully considering the points that needed attention.
The Spirit Gathering Array was relatively simple, and many people who studied arrays would set up the Spirit Gathering Array first.
Therefore, the Spirit Gathering Array basically required no special techniques, only care!
As Ao Yuan browsed carefully, the spirit-infused items from the military trucks were brought down one by one by the demon kings.
Bai Feng, who was escorting the military trucks, was as curious as the demon kings who had been there before, asking Ao Yuan what these things were for.
It was clear that the demon kings couldn't give a satisfactory answer either.
Helpless, Bai Feng could only stand there with the demon kings, eagerly wanting to know what Ao Yuan was trying to do.
"Hoo~"
After a long period of browsing, Ao Yuan let out a long sigh. Just as he had thought, the Spirit Gathering Array was not simple at all. All he needed to do was place the spirit stones in their respective positions and connect them to successfully set it up!
He opened his eyes and looked at the demon kings waiting patiently nearby.
Ao Yuan smiled and said, "You all move these things to the eight cardinal directions: Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun, Gen, and Dui."
"Note that each direction requires the same amount of items!"
"Oh, right, and make sure to cover an area of fifty meters around the Heavenly Pond, no, thirty meters!"
"Oh, alright!"
Upon hearing this, the demon kings immediately started to act again.
Watching the demon kings move, Bai Feng, who was already confused, became even more so.
He couldn't figure out what Ao Yuan was trying to do.
Looking at Ao Yuan's solemn expression, Bai Feng couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency, Guardian of the Nation Divine Beast, what are you doing?"
Ao Yuan kept him in suspense and said, "You'll understand in a moment."
After speaking, Ao Yuan fell silent and just watched the demon kings working.
It wasn't long before.
The demon kings had all placed the spirit-infused items, taken from the military trucks, in the eight cardinal directions.
Seeing that they were busy, Ao Yuan did not hesitate.
He flew to the center of the eight cardinal directions.
He looked around and saw that the eight directions were piled up like small mountains.
He took a deep breath and began to slowly circulate the spiritual energy within his body, in order to gather this spiritual energy and form the Spirit Gathering Array.
However...
Ao Yuan didn't know if this would succeed.
"It's coming!"
As the spiritual energy within his body overflowed, Ao Yuan became extremely focused.
He began to slowly use his spiritual energy to communicate with the spirit-infused items in the eight cardinal directions.
As Ao Yuan cautiously probed, the spirit-infused items piled up in the Qian direction suddenly emitted streaks of shining green light.
This means... it succeeded!
Ao Yuan was overjoyed. If he could communicate with one, he could communicate with all eight.
As long as he connected them all, the Spirit Gathering Array would be successful!
Ao Yuan became even more cautious as he became excited.
He didn't want to fail at this point!
As Ao Yuan's actions became more careful, one by one, the mountains of piled-up items in the eight directions began to emit light.
Before long, all eight directions were shining with dazzling light.
The demon kings below, as well as Bai Feng and Dai Xiao Mei, looked at the scene with expressions of shock and disbelief.
As Ao Yuan circulated his energy, they could feel as if the spiritual energy from all directions was converging towards them.
As a result, the spiritual energy here suddenly became very abundant!
However, this spiritual energy was unstable, sometimes dense and sometimes sparse.
"Look at your feet quickly!"
At this moment, the Colorful Tiger King let out a roar.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw that below.
Lines emerged from the eight cardinal directions, intertwining with each other.
Finally, they outlined an incredibly complex yet mysterious pattern!
The moment the pattern appeared, they felt the spiritual energy in this area stabilize.
And it was steadily increasing!
"What is Daiai doing?"
"What is the Dragon God doing!"
"What is the Guardian of the Nation Divine Beast doing!"
Whether it was the demon kings, Dai Xiao Mei, or Bai Feng, after sensing the change in the air, they all looked up at Ao Yuan in the center, eagerly wanting to know what Ao Yuan was doing.
And under everyone's gaze.
Ao Yuan slowly descended from mid-air.
The moment his four limbs touched the ground.
"Array formed!"
Ao Yuan shouted softly, and an immensely powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from his body.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The space emitted a humming sound.
On the ground.
The mysterious pattern outlined seemed to be infused with life.
With a whoosh, it burst into a screen full of green light!
