Chapter 48: Installation of Array Formations

Clayne slowly breathed out afterward.

Then immediately, he began drawing the formation carefully.

His fingers moved across the hallway floor while spiritual qi flowed continuously from inside his body. The array patterns from the Silent Sword Mist Array appeared one after another beneath his movements.

Circular patterns.

Sword shaped symbols.

Flowing spiritual lines.

Countless complicated markings slowly spread across the entire fourth floor hallway.

At first, the array looked incomplete.

Messy.

Disconnected.

However, the more Clayne worked, the more stable the formation became.

The glowing patterns connected beautifully while faint mist slowly emerged from the symbols themselves.

Meanwhile, inside the tiny world, the disciples quietly watched Senior Deity work.

None of them dared interrupt him.

After all, this was clearly important.

And most importantly, whenever Clayne placed more objects inside the tiny world, spiritual qi gathered tremendously throughout the Silent Sword Sect.

The grasses became greener.

The trees became more spiritual.

The floating islands glowed brighter.

Even the spiritual mist became denser.

Meanwhile, the disciples naturally benefited greatly from it.

Several disciples were cultivating already while seated on lotus positions throughout the sect.

Some trained sword arts.

Some meditated.

Some absorbed spiritual qi greedily.

Every single disciple felt endless gratitude toward Senior Deity.

Meanwhile, Clayne finally stopped drawing afterward.

The formation was complete.

At the center of the hallway sat a massive bucket filled with spiritually enhanced water.

Immediately afterward, Clayne took several water bottles from his supplies.

Then afterward, he carefully opened the tiny world.

One by one, he placed the water bottles inside.

Immediately afterward, spiritual qi gathered violently toward the bottles.

The disciples below already became accustomed seeing such phenomena.

Still, every time it happened, they remained amazed.

The water bottles absorbed enormous amounts of spiritual qi continuously while glowing faintly afterward.

Meanwhile, the Silent Sword Sect itself benefited tremendously once again.

The surrounding air thickened with spiritual qi.

The grasses swayed energetically.

The disciples felt their cultivation speeds increasing further.

Meanwhile, Clayne continuously repeated the process afterward.

Bottle after bottle.

More and more water absorbed spiritual qi endlessly.

Eventually, he finally removed them.

Then afterward, he poured everything carefully into the giant bucket positioned at the center of the formation.

Soon, the bucket became completely full.

Dense spiritual qi drifted visibly from the water surface afterward.

Meanwhile, Clayne slowly stared at the formation.

Honestly...

He had no idea whether this would actually work.

Still, the formation knowledge inside his head told him the process was correct.

So finally, Clayne slowly placed both hands toward the glowing array afterward.

Then quietly...

He activated it.

Boom.

The entire formation exploded with light instantly.

Massive spiritual patterns expanded throughout the entire fourth floor like glowing rivers spreading endlessly across the building.

The hallway trembled slightly.

The classrooms glowed faintly.

The spiritual water inside the bucket erupted with light afterward while enormous amounts of spiritual qi circulated throughout the array lines continuously.

Then afterward...

Mist appeared.

At first, only thin white strands emerged.

But within seconds, the mist thickened rapidly.

The fog spread across the hallway.

Then across the classrooms.

Then across the entire floor.

Soon afterward, the mist escaped through broken windows and corridors while flowing throughout the whole school building beautifully.

Outside...

The school itself slowly disappeared beneath enormous waves of white spiritual fog.

The mist drifted endlessly through the surrounding streets while covering nearby buildings quietly.

Streetlights became blurry.

Windows vanished behind the fog.

The school building itself slowly disappeared completely beneath the dense spiritual mist.

The entire territory looked mysterious now.

Like an abandoned immortal land hidden within endless clouds.

Meanwhile, Clayne’s eyes widened afterward.

"It worked..."

He almost jumped from excitement immediately afterward.

But he restrained himself quickly.

Because the important part came next.

Would the concealment actually function?

If not, then everything would become pointless.

Meanwhile, the formation beneath him continued glowing softly.

The bucket filled with spiritual water served as the formation core while continuously feeding spiritual qi into the array.

The mist thickened further afterward.

The air itself became colder.

Quieter.

Even sounds seemed muffled.

Meanwhile, outside the school territory, distant undead slowly wandered toward the building before stopping.

Then afterward...

They changed directions.

One by one, the undead became confused by the mist.

Some walked into walls.

Some wandered aimlessly.

Some turned around completely.

Others circled endlessly outside the territory without entering.

Meanwhile, Clayne slowly grinned afterward.

"It actually works..."

Relief spread throughout his chest afterward.

Now the outside undead would become misdirected continuously.

That alone already reduced enormous danger.

The only remaining problem now was the undead still inside the school building itself.

If he eliminated all of them, then this place could truly become safe temporarily.

And more importantly...

There were still resources everywhere.

Student food.

Water.

Supplies.

Medicine maybe.

The school itself remained full of valuable things.

Suddenly...

Knock knock.

Clayne immediately turned his head afterward.

The bathroom door opened slightly afterward before a frightened student peeked out slowly.

It was one of the survivors below earlier.

The boy looked extremely nervous.

Especially after witnessing the disappearance of the two tailed humans from before.

Meanwhile, the student swallowed nervously afterward.

"S Sir..."

"Can we... get water?"

Clayne looked toward him quietly.

Then afterward, he simply nodded.

"Go ahead."

Meanwhile, inside his mind, Clayne honestly did not care much whether they lived or died.

To him, these survivors were useful experiment material.

So keeping them alive temporarily benefited him too.

Immediately afterward, the student became extremely happy.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you so much!"

The boy bowed repeatedly afterward before carefully entering the bathroom while trembling continuously.

Even though Clayne allowed them water, fear still remained deeply within the student’s eyes.

Because Clayne himself looked terrifying already.

He killed people calmly.

Killed undead endlessly.

And possessed horrifying abilities.

Meanwhile, before entering fully, the student suddenly froze afterward.

Because his eyes landed on the pile of chips beside Clayne.

Immediately, the student swallowed hard afterward.

Food.

Actual food.

Meanwhile, Clayne noticed immediately.

Then afterward, he casually asked.

"You want some?"

The student’s face turned pale instantly afterward.

"N No!"

"I don’t!"

"I’m fine!"

"I’m sorry!"

Immediately afterward, the frightened student scrambled backward desperately before carefully closing the bathroom door again.

Meanwhile, Clayne stared blankly afterward.

Then afterward, he slowly looked toward the chips beside him.

Crunch.

He ate another handful quietly afterward.

Honestly, he needed energy constantly now.

His cultivation consumed enormous amounts of stamina.

Especially formation work.

Meanwhile, the chips themselves already tasted completely different after absorbing spiritual qi.

Every bite released dense energy into his body while mystical flavors spread throughout his mouth continuously.

The spiritual qi entered his meridians afterward while nourishing his cultivation slowly.

Still...

He was getting tired of chips.

Very tired.

Immediately afterward, Clayne sighed.

Then he stored the chips inside the spiritual vault within his pocket.

Meanwhile, he slowly pulled out several other foods afterward.

Biscuits.

Canned goods.

Juices.

Chocolates.

Dried food.

Immediately afterward, Clayne became conflicted.

"What should I eat..."

He stared at everything carefully afterward.

The biscuits looked tempting.

Especially after becoming enhanced with spiritual Qi, he had a rough idea of how it would taste.

The chocolates already tasted good and would probably become even more tasty.

The canned goods might become extremely nutritious afterward.

The juices sounded refreshing.

Meanwhile, the dried foods probably might absorb spiritual Qi well because of their concentrated nature, and there’s plenty of them.

Clayne frowned deeply afterward while thinking seriously.

"This is hard..."

"If I eat the good stuff immediately, then I might regret it later..."

"But yes...

"I still should save the best things for last..."

Meanwhile, after thinking for a long while afterward, Clayne finally made a decision.

He reached toward one packet slowly.

Dried mango.

Flat yellow slices rested inside the transparent package.

Immediately afterward, Clayne nodded seriously.

"This one first."

He slowly opened the packet afterward.

Then afterward, he carefully placed one dried mango slice inside the tiny world.

Immediately afterward...

Clayne froze.

Because above the dried mango...

Massive dark clouds suddenly formed instantly.
