Chapter 81

In "Dragon Tomb," what is generally referred to as an array is usually a special existence constructed with the help of people or objects.

For example, Zhou Xian used chicken blood as a medium to construct a hidden array, or Li Zheng used ancient dragon script and an altar in the old school building to set up a summoning array, which is one type of array.

In the important checkpoints and cities of the Zhuque and Xuanwu countries, there are also large arrays that can be activated at any time to strengthen defenses or expel outsiders.

However, in this world, no one has ever tried to use a "city itself" to construct an array.

Martin Luther King stared intently at the map, his small claws continuously tapping on the table, with a focused expression.

"By the way, there's one more question," Zhou Xian asked curiously, "What is the purpose of the Big Dipper Array?"

Martin Luther King was seriously looking at the map and ignored Zhou Xian.

Xiao Hei, who was beside him, thought for a moment and said, "Regarding this matter, although I am a demon, I have heard about it in the past. In ancient times, the dragons seemed to create these weapons to counter a powerful weapon aimed at them."

Zhou Xian had heard this from Martin Luther King before. However, the demon race, which is itself an "ancient race" to humans, and the history of the dragons that Xiao Hei mentioned, is even more ancient.

"At that time, the dragons extracted the essence of heaven and earth to create a divine weapon. However, the power of this divine weapon itself could destroy the world. In other words, if this sword were completed, its existence itself would be a disaster. Therefore, the dragons divided this sword into seven parts, weakening the power of this weapon."

Although it is also "ancient," Xiao Hei, who is from a slightly closer era, seems to know more detailed information. However, the idea that the dragons would fear a powerful weapon and try to counter it is hard to believe. After all, whether in the era of the Asuras and demons or the current era of humans and spirits, the dragons are undoubtedly the top power in the world.

"But what does this have to do with the Big Dipper Array?" Zhou Xian asked again.

"Although these seven swords are divided into seven parts, they are still connected to each other. The dragons then channeled this power to the Big Dipper, attempting to control the seven swords. It is said that the dragons' action was so grand that it even tore the heavens. The Asuras only discovered this world because of this."

After that, the Asuras invaded. This marked the beginning of the conflict between the Asuras and demons, but the current humans know very little about it. Even the spirits probably do not know these things.

"Since then, the Big Dipper and the seven swords have become one. The array constructed using the power of the Big Dipper is extremely powerful. With the power of the Big Dipper itself, it can also be used for defense. With the Big Dipper Array, one can attack and defend."

Not only for attack, but also for defense.

Zhou Xian nodded.

If that's the case, this array is truly remarkable.

"Indeed, although the Big Dipper Array is powerful, not everyone can construct it. After the dragons integrated the Big Dipper with their weapons, they began to hide the correct positions of the Big Dipper. After the dragons concealed the celestial secrets, no one knew the correct positions of the Big Dipper. Although the Big Dipper can be seen in the sky, it is not the true position of the Big Dipper. Without knowing the positions and order of the stars, it is impossible to construct the array. To understand the status of the Big Dipper, one can only do so during the once-in-a-thousand-years interaction between the sword and the stars, which is not easy. More importantly, the dragons added a small curse, causing anyone who sets up the Big Dipper Array to encounter bad luck."

"I see, no wonder you said that although the Big Dipper Array is powerful, it is not well-known."

Xiao Hei nodded, "Our demon race also wanted to understand the information about the Big Dipper Array, but the Big Dipper during the interaction can only be observed at the same time in the places of the seven swords. Each place can only see the corresponding star."

So, it needs to be observed simultaneously in seven places?

Zhou Xian felt the advantage of the players for the first time.

During the beta test, the players probably didn't think about so many things. At that time, they probably just thought it was interesting to see such a large array in the game, so they took screenshots and saved them as souvenirs.

Later, someone discovered the exact positions of the seven places based on the game's bird's-eye view and found that the corresponding stars also matched the order, gradually reconstructing the current "Big Dipper."

On the internet, players only knew these things as "interesting facts" and "secrets."

Who would have thought that such a story was hidden behind it?

"Unfortunately, although the seven swords were completed by the dragons, these seven weapons betrayed the dragons and ended up being sealed."

"Huh? I thought it was because the dragons couldn't control the seven swords, so they chose to seal them?"

Xiao Hei, although he knew less than Martin Luther King, was very forthcoming, fully satisfying Zhou Xian's curiosity.

"That's correct. The saying goes, 'a weapon chooses its master.' Because the dragons couldn't control the Big Dipper swords, the seven swords believed that the dragons were not worthy of them. Therefore, the dragons chose to seal the seven swords."

That makes sense.

If it was just that they couldn't control them, why go through such a complicated sealing process?

But after Xiao Hei's explanation, everything made sense.

However, at this moment, Zhou Xian vaguely felt that things might not be that simple.

Could this issue be related to the real world?

Although Zhou Xian had this idea, the key piece of information seemed to be missing, and the secret still needed to be revealed.

Just as the two were discussing, Martin Luther King finally moved. He used his claws to start drawing an array. Although it was just sketching an array, Zhou Xian clearly felt a surprising pressure.

"This Wu Jin Tian Kui Sword did not appear during the battle between our demon race and the Asuras, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful."

The Wu Jin Tian Kui Sword is a sacred weapon of the spirits; it would be unreasonable if it weren't powerful.

"How did you judge that?" Zhou Xian was curious.

Just by looking at the "body" of the Wu Jin Tian Kui Sword, Zhou Xian knew it was a powerful ice blade. Xiao Hei, looking at the spirit of the Wu Jin Tian Kui Sword, was amazed, and Zhou Xian found it interesting.

"This Wu Jin Tian Kui Sword is a weapon of the spirits, but this spirit can make such a judgment based on a single blueprint. It must know the correct positions of the Big Dipper."

"Maybe."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xian's gaze naturally focused on the Wu Jin Tian Kui Sword.

The main consciousness and the blade of the Wu Jin Tian Kui Sword were severely damaged, and Martin Luther King's own memory was incomplete. Although he knew this guy was very powerful, there were some things he knew the result but not the reason. Every time Martin Luther King told Zhou Xian this, it made him feel frustrated.

Just like now.

Martin Luther King knew the correct positions of the Big Dipper, but that was all. If you asked him when and where he knew it, he definitely couldn't answer.

If Martin Luther King could answer, be careful, because there would definitely be more unsolvable mysteries behind his answer.

Zhou Xian believed that if Martin Luther King were to become a storyteller or write serialized novels, he could make a fortune.

Because he always leaves people hanging at the most critical moments.

Of course, on the condition that he doesn't get beaten up.

This design by Qi Peng was already very perfect. The designer might have thought that the order of the Big Dipper in this world was very beautiful, so no small modifications were needed when constructing the array.

Soon, a rough array was gradually taking shape.

Since the array itself is a city, no other media were needed for the array, so Martin Luther King's speed was surprisingly fast.

On the side, Zhou Xian felt a great pressure from Martin Luther King's actions.

The array being drawn could already make people feel pressure, which surprised Zhou Xian. Generally, if an array is not activated, it is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, with no ability to resist.

As the map became more complete, the pressure became stronger. The things created by the dragons were truly not simple.

Finally, Martin Luther King made the last stroke, completing the layout of the array.

At the moment he completed the array, the increasingly strong pressure suddenly disappeared.

"The array is initially completed, but it needs more detailed modifications to be usable," Martin Luther King said, looking tired as he turned around.

"Thank you." Zhou Xian threw two weapons.

Martin Luther King bit the weapons and ate them, finally recovering.

Xiao Hei, looking at the array, was increasingly amazed, "Impressive, impressive. Although our demon race is not strong in array research, I can tell just by looking at this array that it must be extremely powerful! Even if the Demon Lord himself were to face such an array, he would have to think twice."

Martin Luther King smiled smugly and said, "Although there are no city walls in this design, using this large array can create a protective barrier for the city. This barrier is stronger than city walls. With this, there's no need to fear enemies. At night, the barrier can use the power of the stars to repair itself. If it is not broken within a day, it means that those people will never have the ability to destroy it!"

An expert's move, and you know if they have the skills.

Such a powerful array left Zhou Xian deeply impressed.

"If we had this thing yesterday, that last farce probably wouldn't have happened."

"Look, is there a way to call the designer over? With this person, some aspects of the design can be modified. My current design is just a preliminary one."

Zhou Xian had already decided to use Qi Peng's design for the new city, even though it was just a rough draft.

But hearing Martin Luther King's words, Zhou Xian felt a bit stuck.

Because he had never considered these things; he just wanted to lure the enemy out.

As for city design, Zhou Xian hadn't thought about the next steps at all!

"By the way, can this design be transplanted to other places? For example, using weapons or other equipment to set up an array. Also, if we don't have the designer, can you complete the design yourself?" This question was crucial for his next decision.

"Sure, no problem. After removing some decorative elements and leaving only the basic structure of the array, you can use it as a reference," Martin Luther King said. "This array is perfect, but my design, like the city design, is just a rough draft. I need to work with
