Terran Guardian - Chapter 3602

Chapter 3580: Obtaining Formation

Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

With the conclusion of the sect competition,

the sect gained dozens more prodigies possessing acquired bloodlines.

This news

caused envy among various forces .

However—

envy aside,

other forces could only watch helplessly.

After all, the Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s acquired bloodline required the death of a half-saint level innate chaotic beast

. How many forces possessed the qualifications to slay a half-saint level innate chaotic beast?

Let alone innate chaotic beasts

, even ordinary half-saint level chaotic beasts were beyond the capabilities of ordinary forces.

Only top-tier immortal domain forces with strong foundations, and even supreme immortal domain forces, possessed the qualifications to slay half-saint beasts. For

other forces, achieving this was merely a pipe dream.

A force of Xuan Tian Dao Sect’s level was practically unique among all the mid-level immortal domains in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Therefore…

The affairs of the Xuantian Dao Sect, though envied by all sides, were nothing more than that.

…

On this day,

Zhuo Wuyai came to pay his respects.

Shen Changqing was no stranger to this Sect Master of the Jianming Dao Sect and naturally greeted him personally.

“Greetings, Sect Master Shen!”

“Sect Master Zhuo

, what brings you to our sect today?” “I have come to request a Spirit Gathering Array from your esteemed sect to gather the immortal energy of heaven and earth, thus enriching the foundation of my Jianming Dao Sect!”

Zhuo Wuyai did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose.

In fact, back when Yang Daoxu was in power, he had come to the Xuantian Dao Sect to request an array.

But unfortunately,

at that time, Yang Daoxu used the excuse that Taixuzi was in seclusion, and Zhuo Wuyai could only return disappointed.

Then, many other things happened, leaving Zhuo Wuyai no time to think about anything else. Only

now

did he come to the Xuantian Dao Sect again.

And the so-called founder of the Xuantian Dao Sect, Taixuzi, was the current Sect Master of the Xuantian Dao Sect before him.

Therefore,

Zhuo Wuyai naturally came directly to see Shen Changqing, hoping to obtain a spirit-gathering formation from him.

“I see—”

Shen Changqing’s expression immediately understood.

He looked at Zhuo Wuyai for a long time, and while the latter was filled with trepidation, Shen Changqing finally nodded.

“A spirit-gathering formation is a minor matter. I possess a Celestial Emperor formation called the Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Formation.

However, this formation requires numerous immortal ores and divine materials as its foundation to be successfully set up.

If Sect Master Zhuo is interested, then Jianming Dao Sect only needs to gather all the necessary materials and provide a thousand high-grade immortal stones.”

“No problem!”

Zhuo Wuyai’s face immediately lit up with joy, and he readily agreed to Shen Changqing’s request.

A thousand high-grade immortal stones were insignificant for a low-grade Celestial Emperor formation.

Although such immortal stones were an astronomical figure for many mid-level Celestial Domain forces.

However, the Sword Bright Dao Sect had been allied with the Profound Heaven Dao Sect for many years, thus accumulating considerable resources. While

a thousand high-grade immortal stones were a lot,

it wouldn’t be too difficult for the Sword Bright Dao Sect to produce them.

Immediately,

Shen Changqing informed Zhuo Wuyai of everything needed to set up the Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Array. The latter didn’t linger at the Profound Heaven Dao Sect and took his leave.

In less than a month,

Zhuo Wuyai had collected all the immortal ores and divine materials, and also handed over the thousand high-grade immortal stones to Shen Changqing.

“Sect Master Shen, please take a look at these items needed to set up the array, as well as the thousand high-grade immortal stones!”

Shen Changqing scanned the storage ring before him with his divine sense, and everything came into view.

“The Sword Bright Dao Sect’s methods are indeed remarkable, gathering everything so quickly.

Very well, come back to the Profound Heaven Dao Sect in a month, and I will give you what you need.”

“Then I’ll trouble Sect Master Shen!”

Hearing Shen Changqing’s words, the heavy weight in Zhuo Wuyai’s heart finally lifted, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Only Zhuo Wuyai himself knew the immense price the Sword Bright Dao Sect had paid to gather all the immortal mines and divine materials in just one month.

Nearly thirty percent of the sect’s resources had been used up.

But there was no other way.

The Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Array was of paramount importance to the Sword Bright Dao Sect.

If such an array were set up, it would benefit the sect for countless years. Exchanging a mere thirty percent of its resources for long-term development was, in Zhuo Wuyai’s eyes, worthwhile.

Let alone thirty percent!

Even if it meant using up the entire resources of the Sword Bright Dao Sect, he wouldn’t hesitate for a moment.

After Zhuo Wuyai took his leave, Shen Changqing entered the first level of the Seven Profound Divine Tower and began refining the array.

Any array, to truly unleash its full power, requires a corresponding array base.

Without a base, the array is like a rootless duckweed, its power greatly diminished.

For Shen Changqing, refining the array base was a piece of cake.

In less than a year,

he had successfully refined all thirty-six small banners required for the array.

Next,

Shen Changqing began inscribing the array patterns.

This is the crucial part of the array.

If the array base is the foundation of the array, then the array patterns are its soul.

Even the slightest deviation in the array patterns will greatly reduce the array’s power, and may even render it completely ineffective.

However—

this wasn’t Shen Changqing’s first time setting up the Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Array; he was quite adept at it.

It’s just that

he wasn’t yet confident in successfully setting up a complete Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Array.

However, a mere incomplete Zhou Tian Ju Yuan Array wasn’t a major problem.

Moreover,

the Zhou Tian Ju Yuan Array was of extremely high grade, reaching the limit of the Immortal Emperor level.

Therefore, even an incomplete array could still propel one into the ranks of the Immortal Emperor.

…

This array setup was a natural progression.

Shen Changqing only spent five years within the Seven Profound Divine Tower to completely refine the array.

In terms of outside time, it took less than a month.

Ten days later,

Zhuo Wuyai visited again.

Shen Changqing directly handed the completed array to him.

“This is the Zhou Tian Ju Yuan Formation. These thirty-six small banners are the foundation of the formation. As long as the foundation remains intact, the formation will continue to exist.

However, to maximize the formation’s power, it still requires the power of immortal stones.

But… this kind of formation doesn’t require too many immortal stones, so in the long run, the expenditure on immortal stones won’t be a big problem!”

“Of course.”

“Even without immortal stones as nourishment, it’s not a big problem. The thirty-six foundation banners will naturally use the immortal energy of heaven and earth to nourish themselves and maintain the formation’s existence.

It’s just that the effect will be slightly weaker.”

Upon hearing this,

Zhuo Wuyai looked at the thirty-six small banners in front of him and immediately felt as if he had found a treasure.

“Thank you very much, Sect Master Shen!”

With his limited understanding, although he couldn’t see much of the Zhou Tian Ju Yuan Formation’s mystery

, the unfathomable Daoist aura within the formation and the immortal energy that spontaneously gathered from all around were enough for him to understand the formation’s power.

Shen Changqing waved his hand and said calmly, “No need for thanks, it’s just fulfilling a request.

I observe that Sect Master Zhuo’s cultivation has improved considerably since then, and with the Zhou Tian Ju Yuan Array now in place, he should have hope of reaching the Immortal Emperor realm one day!”

The changes in Zhuo Wuyai naturally did not escape Shen Changqing’s notice.

He could see the depth of Zhuo Wuyai’s power at a glance.

Over the millions of years,

this Sect Master of the Jianming Dao Sect had also improved significantly.

Now, his cultivation had reached the level of a half-step Immortal Emperor, and all 108 directions of the Chaotic World were perfected. The next step would be to reach the Immortal Emperor realm.

However, most half-step Immortal Emperors are stuck at this step, enduring hundreds of millions of years without success, ultimately only able to pass away in despair.

But Zhuo Wuyai still has a considerable amount of lifespan left, and with the Jianming Dao Sect’s greatly increased resources in recent years, the possibility of him reaching the Immortal Emperor realm is not small.

“Thank you for your kind words, Sect Master Shen. If I succeed in breaking through to the Immortal   Emperor realm , I will certainly pay you a visit to express my gratitude!”

Zhuo Wuyai said with a smile. His purpose in requesting the Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Array was to prepare for his subsequent breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm.   Zhuo Wuyai had been in seclusion for a long time, attempting to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, but unfortunately, he hadn’t been able to take that step.   Then, the Great Calamity of Calamity erupted, affecting all sides. As the sect leader, Zhuo Wuyai had to temporarily emerge from seclusion to appease the sect’s members .   Now,   the Calamity of Calamity was still ongoing.   However, with the Xuan Tian Dao Sect stationed in the Divine Heaven Domain, the impact of the Calamity had been weakened to the extreme.   Therefore,   Zhuo Wuyai naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to attempt to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.   …   Upon returning from the Xuan Tian Dao Sect,   Zhuo Wuyai immediately set up the Zhou Tian Gathering Yuan Array.   Thirty-six small banners fell into various parts of the sect, and in the next instant, a heaven-piercing celestial light soared into the sky, dazzling like the sun and stars, immediately attracting the attention of cultivators from all sides.   Then…   The void trembled.   A massive amount of immortal energy from hundreds of millions of miles around poured into the Sword Bright Dao Sect. This terrifying influx of immortal energy into the sect filled all the cultivators with joy and delight.   ”Hiss, such dense immortal energy!”   ”One day of cultivation here is equivalent to several days of hard work in the past!”   ”With such immortal energy, I have a chance to attain the Dao of Ancient Immortals—”   From the sect leader and elders to ordinary outer disciples, everyone in the Sword Bright Dao Sect couldn’t contain their joy as they felt the change in the sect’s immortal energy.   Especially the elders who knew the reason were now greatly relieved.   Originally, many elders had reservations about Zhuo Wuyai using a large portion of the sect’s resources to obtain a formation.   They only dared not openly oppose it because of Zhuo Wuyai’s established prestige over the years.   But it was impossible for them not to have other thoughts in their hearts.   But now, with the formation in place, the visible torrent of immortal energy has gathered, and all the dissatisfaction has vanished in an instant.
