Han Cai began contemplating what would be the most important factor in the war. The answer he arrived at was, of course, the cultivators.
Now he started considering how he could assist them in altering the course of the battle. He was already providing pills that should give them an edge, but the inner sect alchemists were also making pills. His pills wouldn't change the course of war, they might contribute, but not significantly.
After considering the pill options, he couldn't figure out what else he could do. Then he started to look at things from a new perspective.
He was not just a pill master; he also had extensive knowledge in talismans and arrays. If he could create talismans that could help them in battle, then their chances would increase.
After long deliberation, Han Cai began working on special custom talisman. After a continuous month of trial and error, he finalized the design of the talisman.
Han Cai named this talisman the "Array Transfer Talisman."
This was unique talisman that only he could create. As it required knowledge of arrays and talismans both.
First, he began by designing the blueprint of the talisman in his mind. He envisaged a small, palm-sized talisman etched with complex array formations that, when activated, would form a protective barrier around the cultivator. This barrier wouldn't just nullify incoming attacks but redirect the energy to the defensive arrays of the sect.
Once the design was complete, Han Cai chose the finest quality jade as the base material for the talisman. Jade, being an excellent energy conductor and stabilizer, was the perfect choice for the creation of such an advanced talisman.
He meticulously carved the array formations on the jade with a specially prepared tool, the Array Engraver, made from a mixture of spiritual metals and imbued with his spiritual Qi. The complexity of the arrays demanded absolute precision and a steady hand. The entire carving process took him several days to complete.
Next came the most crucial part - infusing the talisman with spiritual energy. Han Cai used his own celestial Qi to activate the arrays carved on the talisman. It was a delicate process, and any mistake could render the entire talisman useless. As he channeled his Qi into the talisman, the engraved arrays began to shimmer with a soft, ethereal glow.
Once the arrays were fully activated, Han Cai continued to infuse the talisman with Qi until it was completely saturated. He then sealed it with a final array to ensure that the Qi would not leak out until the talisman was activated.
When the entire process was completed, Han Cai held the Array Transfer Talisman in his hand. It was a small jade talisman glowing softly with an array of intricate formations etched into it. He could feel the contained energy humming quietly within the talisman, waiting to be released. The talisman, with its ability to redirect damage to the sect's defensive array, was a great asset for any cultivator on the battlefield.
But since the battlefield was far away, he had to use a carrier that could move, that could connect the talismans to the sect array. Han Cai decided he would use the cultivators of the sect as mobile towers to transfer the damage.
Han Cai spoke, "Elder Du."
Elder Du appeared in front of him.
Han Cai spoke, "I might have found solution take it to Tianlong"
After he explained the intricacies of the talisman to Elder Du, Elder Du left to give it to Tianlong..
With this, Han Cai gave the sect some more edge in the battle. He did not know how much it might help, but he was sure this should give some advantage to the sect.
After creating the talismans, Han Cai took another break. The time for the grand banquet had also arrived.
This was a massive banquet the sect was throwing to welcome the guests. Everyone was going to the banquet. The elders of every department were going to greet the guests, while most of the outer sect and inner sect disciples were going to be outside the area.
Given the massive size of the sect, this banquet had turned into a massive festival. The sect was going to ensure the guests were pleased by their welcome.
On the day of the banquet, Elder Du took Han Cai and Shu Tao and they flew towards the banquet area.
Multiple mountains of the sect were converted into a festival area. Four mountains surrounding a valley were chosen as the core location for the festival.
The four mountains and the center valley formed a large plaza, named the "Azure Plaza." This plaza was vast enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Yet, it was not the only impressive feature of this area.
In the center of the Azure Sky Plaza was an enormous raised platform known as the "Dais." The dais was layered in a stair-like fashion with each step adding extra height, leading up to a splendid platform at the top. This was where the guests of honor would be seated, elevated above the crowd and clearly visible to everyone in the plaza. The elevated position also held symbolic meaning, showing the respect and honor the sect had for its esteemed guests.
Surrounding the Dais on the four mountains were concentric circles of seats, each lower than the one before, resembling the shape of an amphitheater. The seats were meticulously designed to provide an unobstructed view of the Dais. This setup ensured that every sect member, no matter where they were seated, had a clear view of the guests.
Radiating out from the circle of seats were a series of large, floating screens. These screens, made possible by a sophisticated light-array technique, would display close-up views of the guests and the happenings on the Azure Dais.
The plaza was adorned with vivid, luminescent Azure flowers and draped in streams of silken banners bearing the symbol of the Azure Dragon. These decorations added a sense of grandeur and opulence to the surroundings, reflecting the festive atmosphere.
Above the plaza, a multitude of colorful lanterns floated in the sky, illuminating the area with a soft, warm glow. The light from these lanterns mingled with the natural light of the moon and stars, casting long, dancing shadows across the plaza.
