Chapter 720 - 564: Formation Complete
On Wangyue Island, the peach blossoms stretched as far as the eye could see.Qin Ming sat under a Spiritual Peach Tree, browsing through the latest intelligence reports from the Four Nations Alliance.
Surrounded by a Golden Boy and Jade Maiden, offering incense and brewing tea, massaging his legs and shoulders, life couldn’t be more leisurely.
"Void anomalies frequently appear in the Great Li Cultivation Realm, it seems the Blood Realm is also preparing to go all-in."
"Even though those Divinity Transformation Demon Venerables have long lifespans, they are still suppressed by interface power in the Human Realm... this matter is advantageous to me."
"As for closing the Eye of the Void, it’s a piece of cake for me. At that time, let a Demon Infant seize the body of a Nascent Soul Demon Monarch and sneak in quietly..."
Qin Ming’s eyes glittered, a plan had already formed in his heart.
Next.
He put away the intelligence jade scroll and took out the pill formula for the Crystal Thought Pill to study.
This particular pill formula was from the Ancient Litian Celestial Daoist Palace, one of the most core formulas, as it enhanced the primordial spirit for Divinity Transformation cultivators.
However, this pill primarily strengthens and enhances Divine Thought Power, unprecedentedly so.
Qin Ming’s current Divine Thought intensity far exceeded those of the same realm, already reaching the early Divinity Transformation Stage.
If he were to take this pill to further strengthen it, with the help of a little from the entries, he would directly achieve late-stage Divinity Transformation in Divine Thought strength when he breaks through in the future.
By then, merely relying on Divine Thought Power, he could likely crush those of the same realm invisibly.
When advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage, a cultivator’s Divine Thought is indeed a requirement, naturally, the stronger, the better.
...
Little Spirit Realm, above the water of the Spirit Lake, a three-inch silver-blue Spirit Plant had grown three branches.
Fireflies danced around it, emitting a peculiar aroma of medicinal fragrance.
Even the Cyan-Scaled Dusk Fish were drawn over, swimming nearby.
This Spirit Plant was exactly the Divine Crystal Fruit Qin Ming had planted earlier. It had been ripened to this stage, exhausting all his remaining ripening entries, yet still showed no signs of flowering or bearing fruit.
After all, as a Tier Five Middle-Grade Spirit Fruit from Ancient Times, its growth cycle and maturity conditions are quite long.
But according to Qin Ming’s plant affinity sensing, the flowering should not be far off.
Later, if the "Time Flies" entry refreshes, he could harvest the Divine Crystal Fruit and start alchemy.
Now within the Little Spirit Realm, high-tier spirit plants were a dazzling array; merely several Tier Five Spirit Plants were growing here, spirit plants rare in the outside world growing everywhere like wild grass...
After tending to the spirit plants, Qin Ming had the Little Silver Fox and Tian Ling’er continue the care.
This day.
Qin Ming completed his daily cultivation and had just walked out of the cave mansion when his powerful Divine Thought detected a white startling rainbow flying toward Spirit Island from a thousand miles away.
"It’s actually Qi Xiaoyu... could it be that he has refined the Tier Five Array?"
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Qin Ming’s face.
He summoned the Heaven-Devouring Rat and Little Silver Moon, having them prepare Spirit Tea and Spirit Fruit in advance.
Before long.
Qi Xiaoyu’s figure appeared outside Wangyue Island, and Qin Ming directly activated the array, welcoming him into the Cyan Wood Pavilion.
Seeing the Heaven-Devouring Rat and Little Silver Fox brewing tea with incense, he couldn’t help but pause, internally noting Qin Ming’s ever-increasing strength, detecting him from so far away.
"Brother Qin, long time no see, your cultivation has become more profound, even the Spirit Pets you command have reached Tier Four Mid-Stage."
After sitting, Qi Xiaoyu found he couldn’t fathom Qin Ming’s cultivation realm, and as he glanced at the diligent Heaven-Devouring Rat serving tea to the two, he couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Cough! No choice, Tier Four Spirit Rice every day... it’s hard not to break through, heh heh!" the Heaven-Devouring Rat chuckled triumphantly, presenting the Spirit Tea.
Qin Ming shot the Heaven-Devouring Rat a glance, "Brother Qi praises too highly, it’s just slight progress."
"Brother Qi, could it be that you’ve made progress in refining the Tier Five Array in this visit?"
Qi Xiaoyu took a sip of Dao Thunder Tribulation Tea, feeling it linger in flavor.
He smiled gently, and a simple, three-inch-long rectangular wooden box appeared in his hand.
"I have not failed! I’ve successfully refined the Taihao Nine Luminaries Immortal Extinction Array, Brother Qin, take a look."
Qin Ming accepted the exceptionally small wooden box from him, curious, "Is this where the Tier Five Array is stored?"
He originally thought a Tier Five Array would require celestial alignments to set up, but it was only palm-sized...
"Indeed, I’ve modified some parts of this Ancient Array, releasing seventy-two Profound Sea Dragon-Suppressing Pillars can instantly form the array."
"With my current cultivation, refining the array to this level is already the limit."
"Next, I’ll pass the control method of the array hub to Brother Qin..."
After a moment of incense, Qin Ming had fully mastered the method of controlling this array, which was quite simple.
So simple that it only required Burning Spirit Stone, and it must be Top-Grade Spirit Stone, to fill the array hub core.
"Brother Qin, activating the array once consumes five Top-Grade Spirit Stones..."
Qin Ming originally planned to test the power of the Tier Five Array, but looking at the mere seven or eight Top-Grade Spirit Stones in the storage pouch, he immediately dismissed this idea.
These Top-Grade Spirit Stones are extremely hard to come by, and when fighting against the demonic path, they may only be enough for the array to appear once, not lasting long.
"Brother Qin, rest assured. This Array is one of the most powerful within the Luotian Daoist Palace. Although the materials are limited at the moment, only refining it to the Tier Five Middle-Grade level, if you can obtain more Tier Five Spiritual Materials in the future, you might be able to upgrade the Array to a Tier Five High-Grade, or even higher."
Qi Xiaoyu saw Qin Ming in deep thought, then confidently assured him, displaying great confidence in the Array he had crafted.
He then took out a jade scroll from his bosom and handed it to Qin Ming.
"A Tier Five Middle-Grade Array... and it can be further improved." This was somewhat beyond Qin Ming’s expectations.
He perused the jade scroll briefly: "Taihao Divine Stone, Tier Five Essence Soul, Golden Flame Essence Crystal..."
Everything recorded on it was top-grade spiritual material in the Cultivation Realm, likely already extinct...
Qin Ming couldn’t help but marvel quietly; Qi Xiaoyu truly was a once-in-a-millennium genius in Array Dao.
He had delved so deeply into Tier Five Arrays in such a short time and could deduce other possibilities.
It appeared that the Array Dao inheritance he obtained from the Luotian Hall was indeed extraordinary!
The path of Array cultivation is vast and profound. Despite Qi Xiaoyu only being at the Early-stage Nascent Soul with a frail appearance,
if he were to recreate such a Grand Array, his actual strength wouldn’t be underestimated either.
However, enhancing one’s cultivation is the long-term solution. If it weren’t for Qin Ming extending his lifespan, he would likely have perished by now.
One’s own Cultivation Realm is also closely linked with the path of Arrays; the higher the tier of the Array, the higher the required cultivation.
Qin Ming just used the Yin Yang Profound Mirror to scan him again, discovering within Qi Xiaoyu a scene filled with lush vitality, already adding five hundred years to his lifespan, presumably thanks to the Mysterious Pill he received.
Additionally, his Life Origin was continuously recovering, and previous hidden injuries were fully healed, essentially a rebirth.
Qi Xiaoyu was immensely grateful to Qin Ming’s kindness of giving him a new life, thus willing to exchange with a Tier Five Middle-Grade Array.
Otherwise, given the level of this Array, its value far surpassed that of a pill.
After a brief exchange,
Qi Xiaoyu suddenly asked, "I heard the Five Great Cultivation Realms are forming an alliance, and Brother Qin has taken the task of closing the Eye of the Void?"
"Such a crucial matter, otherwise Qi would join you, at least to provide some support."
Qin Ming thought for a moment before saying, "Brother Qi, there’s no need for you to take risks with me; you should stay at the rear handling logistics, after all, you’re not adept at fighting, and the Grand Array of Primordial Extreme Mountain also requires your presence."
"When the two realms do go to war, nothing can go wrong on that front at Primordial Extreme Mountain."
"I suspect the ancient demon that escaped earlier will seize the chance to cause chaos."
Qi Xiaoyu nodded in agreement after hearing him out.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Qin, I’ve made some progress in researching the repair of the Luotian Hall’s Ascension Platform. I’ve fixed those damaged Array Patterns, and if we manage to obtain the other half of the Reversed Scale Stele, the repair probability increases to over eighty percent."
Upon hearing that level of confidence, Qin Ming was greatly shaken, since that item was the Ascension Platform placed by the Spirit Realm in the Lower Realm, not something an average person could comprehend.
The two discussed for another half-day before Qi Xiaoyu bid farewell and left.
Before leaving, Qin Ming gifted him a jar of Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Liquid and some Dao Thunder Tribulation Tea.
After all, the other party had given him such a grand surprise today.
After seeing off Qi Xiaoyu, Qin Ming took out a wooden box, sent his Divine Thought inside, and saw seventy-two Profound Sea Dragon-Suppressing Pillars quietly stored within, engraved with Taihao Divine Patterns, cast with Flood Dragon Blood, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
This made Qin Ming’s entire Heart Spirit tremble.
...
...
In the Blood Realm, at the Blood Refining Demon Sect.
On the black stone high platform of the Endless Abyss stood a dense crowd of demonic cultivators, along with fierce demon creatures, as dark demon ships hovered around.
Black clouds gathered, with thunder and lightning.
"Are the other sects ready?"
The Blood Prison Demon Venerable, with long black hair cascading over his shoulders, coldly gazed at the demon army without emotion, asking a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Demon Monarch beside him.
"Reporting to the Supreme Elder, news just arrived that the other four major sects, led by their Demon Venerable ancestors, are all ready to move."
"Taking advantage of the last stage of the Interface Convergence Tidal Force, the other four sects will spare no effort to open the Eyes of the Void, setting Descent Passages in Great Li and Great Jin, counting the two at our sect, there will be seven in total." The Nascent Soul Demon Monarch reported with utmost respect.
Then, he hesitated slightly before volunteering, "Disciple is willing to guard our sect’s Eye of the Void."
Once the war starts, these seven places will undoubtedly be the most significant, heavily guarded by demon forces.
"No need, this time the Patriarch will personally oversee the Eye of the Void." But the response from the Blood Prison Demon Venerable shocked that Nascent Soul Demon Monarch.
"What? Supreme Elder, this..."
The few other Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs below also showed expressions of confusion.
Blood Prison Demon Venerable spoke calmly, "Our Holy Sect’s descent venue this time is different from the others; we have chosen the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm..."
The demonic monarchs exchanged glances, feeling a chill in their hearts yet not daring to question the Blood Prison Demon Venerable’s words.
They guessed some of the reasons behind it.
Presumably, this was also the intention of the Divinity Transformation Demon Venerables of the other four sects, given that many of their Demon Monarchs had fallen here.
They also hoped that the Blood Refining Demon Sect could bring a bloodbath to the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.
After taking down the Southern Wilderness, they could then join with the Great Li Cultivation Realm to form a pincer attack strategy against Great Jin.
