Terran Guardian - Chapter 3422

Chapter 3402 Zhoutian Juyuan Formation

“The Ancient Star Domain Scripture!”

Fu Zheng sat cross-legged within the Celestial Monarch’s Palace. With every breath he took, a vast amount of star power converged, pouring into his body.

This star power was incredibly dense, as if countless ancient stars had condensed into existence. A dazzling radiance permeated the entire void of the palace.

After a long moment,

the star power dissipated.

Fu Zheng let out a long sigh, a look of wonder on his face.

“No wonder the Holy Lord passed down this legacy. In the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, it would be difficult to draw upon the star power.

But this galaxy offers the perfect place for cultivation!”

The vast galaxy

harbored countless ancient stars.

The terrifying star power contained within these ancient stars was the perfect nourishment for cultivating the Ancient Star Domain Scripture.

By comparison,

while the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm could draw upon the star power, how could that star power compare to the star power within the Primal Chaos Galaxy?

By harnessing the power of the stars within the Primordial Chaos Galaxy to cultivate the Ancient Star Domain Sutra, the Tianchen Holy Land’s strength would undoubtedly increase significantly over time.

This

was an advantage the Tianxing Domain lacked.

Of course,

the Ancient Star Domain Sutra was inherited from a pinnacle Immortal Emperor, and truly achieving mastery was far from easy.

However, precisely because it was a legacy of the pinnacle, even if one couldn’t cultivate it to mastery, simply gaining entry would be a staggering transformation for other Ancient Immortals.

Currently,

Fu Zheng, a being at the Immortal Emperor level, had refined the boundless power of the stars. Even after a short period of cultivating the Ancient Star Domain Sutra, he could already feel slight changes in his physical form.

While these changes weren’t noticeable, the increase in strength was substantial.

With continued practice over the years, even without achieving any breakthroughs in his cultivation, reaching even greater heights in strength would undoubtedly be a breeze.

“Also—”

“Even if the star power within this galaxy can’t sustain cultivation for the entire Tianchen Holy Land, there are still numerous stars beyond it, in the boundless chaos.

There’s no need to worry about a shortage of star power when practicing this kind of cultivation technique,”

Fu Zheng pondered.

Of course,

cultivation would undoubtedly be much faster if star cores served as nourishment.

But even without them,

the star power here is more than enough to cultivate this kind of cultivation technique.

—

“The star power here is rich, unmatched in the Tianxing Domain. Your Excellency has erected thirty-six star monuments here, which is quite remarkable!”

Inside the Tianchen Holy Land, Jianxu, dressed in white, glanced at the chaotic galaxy, sensing the incredibly rich star power. He then looked at the person beside him, his face filled with admiration.

Jianxu had also seen the thirty-six star monuments and received the cultivation inheritance of the Taikoo Star Domain Sutra.

Although Jianxu couldn’t cultivate independently as a Creation Pill, his eons of accumulated experience still afforded him the necessary perspective.

Shen Changqing, hands clasped behind his back, said calmly, “This is Primal Chaos’ advantage. The rich star power makes it easier to absorb and refine than in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

However, this place also has its drawbacks. While there are ancient stars nurturing immortal veins, the concentration of immortal energy is still inferior to that of the Celestial Star Region!”

The rich star power is an advantage.

The lack of immortal energy is a disadvantage.

The reason so many cultivators and forces in Primal Chaos seek to gain access to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is because of its uniquely favorable cultivation environment.

While other energies like star power are necessary for cultivating specialized techniques, they are not the mainstream.

The

true mainstream

is immortal energy.

This kind of immortal energy can enhance a cultivator’s foundational cultivation, allowing them to reach new heights.

Compared to other regions in Primal Chaos, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm possesses the richest immortal energy.

Therefore,

the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm

is the core of the entire Upper Realm.

Three thousand six hundred immortal states, home to countless forces and cultivators.

Many forces within the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm would not leave unless absolutely necessary to seek refuge in Primal Chaos.

Therefore,

this was the gap between the two sides.

With this in mind,

Shen Changqing looked at Jianxu and asked, “You have served Venerable Danxin for many years. I wonder if you have any knowledge of formations?”

“Formations?”

Jianxu was slightly startled, then paused before speaking.

“Your Excellency is a man of many talents, and your knowledge is vast. You have also studied formations. I have had the privilege of witnessing some of their profound mysteries, but there are only a few I can truly memorize—”

“Are there any formations that gather immortal energy?”

“A formation that gathers immortal energy… I need to think about it before I can give you an answer!”

Jianxu frowned, but didn’t refuse outright.

After all, he had lived for so long, and many useless memories had been sealed away. Retrieving them now would naturally be difficult.

Seeing this.

Shen Changqing didn’t urge him, but let Jianxu recall.

After a long pause,

Jianxu’s eyes lit up.

“I’ve got it. I once saw a formation called the Zhoutian Juyuan Formation. Rumor has it it was created by an unknown grandmaster of formations from ancient times.

This formation has no offensive or defensive capabilities, but simply serves to gather immortal energy. I think it meets your requirements.”

Zhoutian Juyuan Formation!

Shen Changqing’s expression shifted slightly.

At this point,

Jianxu again looked hesitant. “My understanding of this formation is limited. I only remember a few of its mysteries, but I wonder if they’ll be of any use to you, Your Majesty?”

“Even if it’s just a few, it’s enough!”

Shen Changqing

nodded .

Jianxu stopped talking and immediately reproduced the mysteries of the Dao that he had glimpsed when he first saw the Zhoutian Juyuan Formation, presenting it faithfully before Shen Changqing.

As the Dao rhyme unfolded, Shen Changqing observed it intently.

Time slipped by.

After the Dao rhyme dissipated, Shen Changqing’s face darkened.

He had initially thought Jianxu was being modest, but now it seemed there was nothing wrong with what he said.

The so-called Zhoutian Juyuan Formation was indeed an extremely sophisticated formation.

Unfortunately,

Jianxu’s memory of this formation was fragmented, and the Dao rhyme he displayed was even more fragmented.

Even with Shen Changqing’s current cultivation as a seventh-rank lower-grade formation master, it was difficult for him to truly comprehend much.

However,

even from this extremely incomplete Dao rhyme, Shen Changqing could tell that

a complete Zhoutian Juyuan Formation would be a top-tier Immortal Emperor formation, potentially even reaching the eighth tier.

“Your Excellency…”

Jianxu looked slightly embarrassed.

Shen Changqing waved his hand, “You’ve done your best to achieve this. From today on, you will be the guardian of the Holy Land. The rest is up to you.”

“Thank you, Your Excellency!”

Jianxu’s expression lit up.

Although he didn’t value position and power, the title of Holy Land Protector was like adding a sense   of belonging. Jianxu naturally had no reason to be dissatisfied.   He immediately

took   his leave.   After he left, Shen Changqing’s mind landed on the third level of the Seven Profound Divine Tower.   …   ”Discovered Zhoutian Juyuan Formation!”   ”Seventh-grade Supreme (Incomplete)!” ”   Four thousand nine hundred high-grade immortal stones are needed to continue deducing and perfecting it!”   …   Seeing the prompts from the Seven Profound Divine Tower, Shen Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.   As expected,   no matter how incomplete the Zhoutian Juyuan Formation was, as long as he could obtain it, he could deduce and perfect it with the help of the Seven Profound Divine Tower.   The biggest difference   was that the complete formation required fewer immortal stones to deduce it,   and vice versa .   The price of four thousand nine hundred high-grade immortal stones   was enough to demonstrate that   the level of incompleteness of this formation was almost outrageous.   But none of that mattered.   As long as it could be included in the Seven Profound Divine Tower, that was enough.   Less than five thousand high-grade immortal stones were nothing to Shen Changqing.   Immediately   , with a single thought, he consumed four thousand nine hundred high-grade immortal stones, and a powerful aura of Dao suddenly emerged from his mind.   Everything about the Zhoutian Juyuan Formation was revealed.   This profound Dao rhythm was over ten times more powerful than what Jianxu had displayed.   It took Shen Changqing a long time to fully digest this top-notch seventh-tier formation.   ”Huh!”   After the last wisp of the Dao rhythm faded, Shen Changqing opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of foul air, and a faint smile crossed his face.   ”A seventh-tier, top-grade Zhoutian Juyuan Formation. The master who created it truly surpasses my level of attainment in formation.”   Although the Zhoutian Juyuan Formation had only one effect, it was already quite impressive to Shen Changqing.   If a complete Zhoutian Juyuan Formation could be deployed, it could plunder immortal energy from billions of miles of Primal Chaos, all of which would be used to nourish the Tianchen Holy Land.   This   would significantly increase the concentration of immortal energy in the Tianchen Holy Land.   Beyond anything else,   increasing the existing immortal energy several-fold would be a piece of cake.   Of course,   if deployed within the Tianxing Domain, the effects would be even greater.   However, while deploying such a top-tier formation would benefit one’s own faction, the impact on other factions would be different.   After all, the immortal energy in any particular immortal domain is limited. If significant amounts of it were plundered, the amount available to other factions would be diminished.   However,   the immortal domain is vast, and   with its abundance of immortal energy,   the immortal energy plundered by a typical formation would be unlikely to affect the entire domain.   Only those factions immediately adjacent to the formation would be affected.   Given the boundless nature of Primal Chaos, Shen Changqing naturally didn’t need to worry about these issues.   The biggest challenge now was that the Zhoutian Juyuan Formation was a top-tier seventh-tier formation, and with his current cultivation in the art of formations, deploying it was far from easy.   For a Grandmaster of the lower rank of the seventh-grade formation, setting up a top-rank seventh-grade formation was a task of considerable difficulty.   Although Shen Changqing’s initial understanding of the Great Sun Mysterious Yellow Formation had advanced his formation skills somewhat, it was still very slow.   To date,   he still had a long way to go before reaching the mid-rank of the seventh-grade, let alone the peak.   Yet, even so, Shen Changqing still chose to comprehend the Zhoutian Juyuan Formation.   For no other reason than that   , even if he couldn’t fully comprehend such a top-rank formation, just a few subtle insights would be enough for his own use.
