436: Chapter 436 Deployment Plan for the Eye of Law

Three days was a very short time.

But Lu Sheng accomplished a great deal.

On the first day.

He retrieved all the data Luo Tianfei had collected over the past two months regarding the periphery of the Old God Abyss and spread out a massive holographic topographic map in the command room.

The location and size of the spherical space, the distribution density of the law threads, and the direction of the energy conduction paths—everything was marked on the map.

"I have preliminary selected twelve deployment locations for the Eye of Law." Lu Sheng tapped twelve points of light on the holographic map with his finger. "The distance between each node is between two hundred to three hundred meters. They will form an equidistant monitoring network around the spherical space."

Luo Tianfei was analyzing the data.

"Twelve nodes can cover ninety-two percent of the spherical space's surface area. However, there is an eight percent blind spot in the monitoring. It's mainly concentrated toward the south pole of the spherical space—there's a turbulent zone of ancient Laws there that interferes with detection signals."

"An eight percent blind spot. Will Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate exploit this blind spot?"

"The probability is low. The Law turbulence zone itself interferes with energy conduction. If Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate absorbs the Origin energy of the remains of the spirit emperor from that direction, his efficiency will drop by at least forty percent."

"Then we'll ignore it. First, create a detailed deployment plan for these twelve nodes. How each Eye of Law will be woven, how they'll be concealed, and how they'll establish a remote connection with my main consciousness—refine everything."

Luo Tianfei took four hours to complete the detailed plan.

Lu Sheng spent two hours going over the plan three times in his mind, ensuring nothing was missed.

With the remaining time, he began practicing the weaving of the Eye of Law.

He had already learned the theory of this ancient technology, but he had never actually operated it.

The core of the Eye of Law was to use Space Law to weave an extremely tiny sensory node and then "embed" this node into the spatial rifts of the target area, allowing it to blend completely with the surrounding environment.

Once embedded, the Eye of Law could passively sense all fluctuations and changes in Laws within a thirty-meter radius and transmit the data remotely to the deployer.

The keyword was "passive sensing."

The Eye of Law would not actively emit any signals; it only received information. Therefore, unless someone precisely scanned the spatial rift where it resided, it would not be discovered.

Its concealment was extremely strong.

However, the difficulty of weaving it was also extremely high. Every Eye of Law required manipulating Space law threads with a precision of less than 0.008 millimeters.

Lu Sheng practiced in the secret room for an entire night.

He failed nine times. The tenth attempt was a success.

The successful Eye of Law was only the size of a needlepoint, hovering on his fingertip. Looking through his Dragon Eyes, he could clearly see the precise structure inside woven from Space law threads.

"Like a miniature crystal ball." Lu Sheng rotated the Eye of Law on his fingertip.

He crushed the practice piece.

And continued practicing.

The second day.

The success rate of weaving the Eye of Law increased to seventy percent.

He made twenty in one go, selected the best twelve, and stored them in his storage space.

In the afternoon, he went to find Xuan Yin.

"How is the practice going?"

Xuan Yin was practicing Sonic Wave Interference in the open space outside the residential area. In front of her was a target made from a spirit source crystal core—inside the crystal core, she had used sound waves to simulate the Law operation rhythm of a Peak Mid Spirit Saint Stage.

"This one's Sonic Wave Interference has reduced the target's Law operation speed by forty-three percent," Xuan Yin said. "That is a three percent increase from three days ago."

"Still seven percent short of fifty percent."

"This one knows. But increasing it to fifty percent within three days is indeed very difficult."

Lu Sheng thought for a moment.

"Change your thinking. You don't need to maintain fifty percent interference the whole time. You only need to push the interference effect to fifty percent during those few critical seconds. For the rest of the time, forty percent is enough."

"The critical seconds?"

"Yes. During my infiltration of the spherical space, the most vulnerable moment is the few seconds when I penetrate the innermost layer of law threads. If Qing Ming rushes over to interfere with me then, I'm finished. So during those few seconds—you must pin him down."

"This one understands. Burst-type, short-duration high-intensity interference is easier to achieve than sustained interference."

"Then practice that. Practice how to instantly push the intensity of the Sonic Wave Interference to the limit."

"Understood."

Lu Sheng watched Xuan Yin's training from the side for a while.

Her Sound System Law indeed had its unique merits. Those extremely high-frequency sound waves were completely inaudible to the human ear, but Lu Sheng's Dragon Eyes could see the Law fluctuations the sound waves caused in the air. Those fluctuations precisely struck the Law rhythm inside the crystal core, significantly slowing its operation speed.

"Do your sound waves have the ability to penetrate Law shields?" Lu Sheng asked.

"Yes. But not through direct penetration. This one's sound waves follow a resonance path—finding the resonance frequency of the shield and then using the resonance effect to conduct the sound waves into the shield's interior."

"What if the opponent changes the Law frequency of the shield?"

"This one would need to find the resonance frequency again. It takes about two to three seconds."

"A two to three-second gap is too long."

"That is this one's current limit."

Lu Sheng frowned and thought for a while.

"I'll teach you something."

"What?"

"Chain Resonance."

Xuan Yin was stunned for a moment.

The core principle of the Chain Resonance technology Lu Sheng had learned from the ancient technology metal plate was the chain reaction of Laws. This principle wasn't just applicable to attacks—it could also be applied to Sonic Wave Interference.

"Your current Sonic Wave Interference is single-frequency. One frequency for one target. If the target changes frequency, you have to find it again. But if you use the principle of Chain Resonance—emitting multiple frequencies of sound waves simultaneously and letting these waves generate a Chain Resonance between them—you can cover an extremely wide frequency range. No matter how the opponent changes the shield frequency, one frequency will always hit."

"Multi-frequency Chain Resonance." Xuan Yin's eyes lit up. "This line of thinking—this one had not considered it before."

"Can you do it?"

"This one understands the principle. But for actual operation—this one needs time to practice."

"You only have a day and a half."

"A day and a half." Xuan Yin bit her lip. "This one will do her best."

Lu Sheng explained the basic principles of Chain Resonance to Xuan Yin. He didn't teach her the full set of techniques—the Sound System Law was different from his five-element Laws, and even if he taught her everything, she wouldn't be able to use it. He only taught the most core "Chain Conduction" principle, allowing Xuan Yin to adapt it to her Sonic Wave Interference herself.

After teaching her, he returned to the secret room.

The second night.

Luo Tianfei's communication came again.

"Latest data from the Old God Abyss. Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Venerate's devouring speed has increased again. It's now eighteen percent every six hours."

Eighteen percent.

It had increased again.

"Calculate his Breakthrough time."

"Fifteen days. Possibly shorter."

Fifteen days.

Lu Sheng's fist clenched in the darkness.

Time was running out.

The third day.

Everything was ready.

Eye of Law: Twelve units, all weaving completed.

Combat Plan: Three sets of contingency plans, covering the most optimistic, most likely, and most pessimistic scenarios.

Xuan Yin's training: Preliminary mastery of Multi-frequency Chain Resonance. The peak effect of her Sonic Wave Interference could reach fifty-two percent, with a duration of about four seconds.

It was enough.

Even if it wasn't, it had to be.

In the afternoon, Lu Sheng made the final deployments in the plaza.

Dao Yi, Li Xiaoyao, Zhou Lei, and all Cultivators above the Spirit Emperor Realm were present.

"The arrangements after I leave are the same as before. Luo Tianfei is the commander-in-chief, Dao Yi handles daily affairs, and Li Xiaoyao handles training."

"Lord, how long will you be gone this time?" Dao Yi asked.

"I don't know. Maybe a week, maybe half a month. Or maybe—"

Lu Sheng did not finish that last sentence.

Or maybe I won't come back.

But there was no need to say that.

"Is there anything else to instruct?" Dao Yi asked again.

Lu Sheng thought for a moment.

"If I haven't contacted you or returned after half a month—"

He looked at the faces of everyone present.

"Assume I am dead. Take everyone into the underground shelters, activate all automatic defenses, and then—find a way to stay alive."

The plaza was silent for several seconds.

Dao Yi's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Li Xiaoyao's eyes were slightly red.

"The Lord will definitely return," he said.

Lu Sheng did not respond to that.

He turned, and fourteen dragon wings unfolded behind him.

Xuan Yin was already waiting by his side.

"Let's go."

Two figures shot into the sky, passing through the metal armor layer and disappearing into the depths of space.
