I Just Won't Play By The Book Chapter 239

[ Option 1: Sleep. Reward for completion: Secret Technique of Fire (low-tier black-grade)]

[ Option 2: Strengthen the formations in the palace. Reward for completion: Random basic skill points + 1]

"Humph?"

Just as Jiang Beiran was about to lie down and sleep for the day, two options suddenly popped up in the system.

"There are actually unruly people who want to harm me?"

Jiang Beiran did not expect this. First of all, the black and white factions in Fengzhou had just been purged. Whether it was the rebels or the traitors, they should all loss their leaders and stayed low.

Who would be so desperate to come out and be the 'vanguard' at this time?

Moreover, he had just ascended the throne and had not yet warmed up on the dragon throne. Even if those hot-blooded people thought that killing an emperor would change the situation, they would still have to secretly observe him for a while to confirm if he was a dog emperor before making a move, right?

"Strange…"

Jiang Beiran sat up and took out the Suit of Blending in from his storage ring, after putting it on, he disappeared from the palace.

He quietly arrived at the top of the Mystic Listening Palace. This was the center of the entire imperial palace, and it was enough to overlook the entire palace.

'Gui, Geng, Chou, Wu, You…'

"Hmm… the person who built this palace knows a lot about feng shui and formations. It's a pity that he was too greedy and wanted to put everything in it. Instead, he set up an overwhelmed formation.'

The Twenty-Eight Night Ghost Locking Formation was set up in the palace. Using the Lightning Pool Method, the corresponding talisman treasures and talismans were placed on the twenty-eight positions in the palace. Once someone with bad intentions attacked, their mind would be imprisoned, and they would fall into a daze.

As a temporary formation, the Twenty-Eight Night Ghost Locking Formation was set up extremely well. One could completely see the profound knowledge of the person who set up this formation. However, in terms of a long-term defensive formation, it was full of flaws.

Because the sun, moon, and stars were constantly rotating, the formation pattern was different every two hours. There were 24 hours every day, and the cycle from the winter solstice to the winter solstice of next year was a cycle. It was a total of 360 days.

According to the formation pattern of two hours per formation, there were a total of 4,320 formation patterns in the whole year. and among these 4,320 formation patterns, there was another one that would repeat more than four times.

In terms of the nine square formations, the winter solstice, Jingzhe, Qingming, and the beginning of summer all belonged to the same formation pattern. They all needed to be arranged in a unique way.

And the formation patterns that were already so complicated were only the foundation.

In terms of the seasons, feng shui patterns and other changes required the addition of 60 combinations of the 10 heaven stems and 12 earth branches. Moreover, the formation also had the difference between the yin and yang saturation, which contributed to thousands of completely different formation patterns.

If setting up temporary formations could reveal a person's knowledge of formations, then setting up long-term grand formations could reveal a person's foundation in formations. The difference between the two could be said to be heaven and earth.

"Jingzhe 174, Spring 852, and Snow 471"

"Wow, this is a huge project."

Holding the compass, Jiang Beiran checked out all the constellation eyes that needed to be adjusted. Then, he began to adjust the grand formations.

"It's finally done."

Before the sun rose, Jiang Beiran had strengthened the entire Twenty-Eight Night Ghost Locking Formation. At this moment, the formation was able to adapt to the changes in the weather and adjust itself automatically. It would be able to bring out the best effect at any time.

Sitting on a corner of the eaves of the Listening Mystic Hall, Jiang Beiran's right leg dangled in the air. Holding the compass in his left hand, he rotated it from time to time. Looking at the rising sun in the distance, he continued thinking about the problem that he had not figured out before.

Although this Twenty-Eight Night Ghost Locking Formation in the palace could not display its best effect at all times, it was enough to deal with some great mystic practitioner.

Since the option was to strengthen the Twenty-Eight Night Ghost Locking Formation, it meant that those who would come to the palace to find trouble with him were at least great mystic practitioner and above.

And even in a large sect like the Sect of Masked Moon, a superior mystic practitioner was a mainstay. Under normal circumstances, they would not carry out such suicidal mission.

Just like that day at the Gathering of Young Heroes, the imperial court and the traitors had prepared for ten years, but they had only gathered a few superior mystic practitioners to carry out the plan to sow discord.

After all, for a cultivator to be able to advance to a superior mystic practitioner, it meant that his talent in the path of cultivation had already surpassed most of the people. They valued their lives very much.

Using his hand to block out the gradually blinding sunlight, Jiang Beiran suddenly thought of a new idea.

He previously thought that although Yin Jianghong had verbally assured Jiang Beiran that no one would dare to touch him, there was still a high possibility that one or even a few experts were left behind to protect him in the palace.

When this idea flashed through his mind, Jiang Beiran despised Yin Jianghong in his heart. What an old fox.

It was simply blind confidence.

But now that he thought about it again, perhaps this trouble was sent by Yin Jianghong.

From the time he met Yin Jianghong to the last conversations they had, Jiang Beiran could feel that Yin Jianghong had always suspected that his strength was not as simple as qi refining realm. During this period, Yin Jianghong had tested him through conversation many times.

It was only because he had personally tested the mystic energy in his body that he had suspected whether he was overthinking things.

"Now that I'm the Emperor, that Old Fox Yin Jianghong obviously wants to cooperate with me more. So, before we cooperate, he wants to thoroughly understand my foundation…"

"Old people really like to be paranoid…"

Followed this train of thought, Jiang Beiran understood the meaning of the option.
