Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 1168 – Extreme

The refining of the dao halo pill was extremely difficult. In fact, even if a cultivator started accumulating resources from the moment they stepped foot on the path of cultivation all the way until they reached Huang Ting, they might not be able to gather all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures used to concoct the dao halo pill.

However, in the secret realm placed in front of the four of them by Daoist Jiu Si, the mature Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures s were enough to refine three batches of high-grade dao halo pills.

Unfortunately, it was clear that this pill had nothing to do with Yang Junshan. After obtaining the Great Land gifted by Daoist Jiu Si and copying a portion of the pill formulas, the remaining matters did not concern him at all.

Of course, in terms of value, the treasures that Yang Junshan had obtained were already excellent enough, even to the point of being an egg-sized Earth Elemental Treasure.

However, the value of the land lay in the long term, while the value of a single dao rhythm pill to a cultivator was immediate.

After they had returned from the secret realm, Mo Ya and Chi Xing seemed to have lost their minds. It was obvious that the two Daoists were completely engrossed in the dao rhythm pill within the secret realm.

In fact, even Yang Junshan would occasionally think of that piece of secret realm, where even a Dao Realm cultivator would not necessarily be able to see all of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures, and those neat hundred over mini array steps that could be used to create different living environments.

It was a good thing that although the Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasures and the dao halo pill within the secret realm were no longer fated with him, Yang Junshan was still able to obtain permission from Daoist Jiu Si to enter and exit the secret realm at any time, so he could focus on studying the profoundness of the miniaturized formation.

Amongst the four of them, only Daoist Jiu Si still maintained his original calm. Perhaps it was because he was about to step into the realm of immortality, but his entire knowledge and cultivation realm was in a state of ascension, causing him to havather aloof attitude when looking at everything. Although everything he discovered in the secret realm was enough to trigger a huge war in the space, Daoist Jiu Si still maintained a calm state of mind.

However, the truth was that Yang Junshan had some dark thoughts in his heart. Daoist Jiu Si’s calmness was like seeing too many treasures, and although there was something unexpected about the appearance of this kind of secret realm, he was not surprised at all.

The reason was simple, the entire ruin of the Stellar Cliffs was slowly excavated by Daoist Jiu Si. According to the size of this immortal formation and the owners of the original immortal formation, during the process of being excavated, there would be more treasures left behind than one of the secret realms. Who knew how much benefits Daoist Jiu Si would have gotten from the ruins?

Most likely, even his honorary disciples, Mo Ya and Chi Xing, weren’t aware of this, right?

Shaking his head to dispel the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, Yang Junshan once again focused all of his energy to repair the Seven Stars Immortal Formation.

Although Daoist Jiu Si had not spoken and urged him on, Yang Junshan could still tell that he was gradually growing impatient from some of his daily actions. In this situation, or perhaps it was because it was already difficult for Daoist Jiu Si to suppress the cultivation realm that was about to change in his body, but the other situation was that danger was already approaching.

But Yang Junshan was more inclined to the second possibility, because at the very beginning, Daoist Jiu Si had said that he could still persevere for about twenty years before he advanced into the Immortal Realm, but now, he had not arrived for fifteen years. The other reason was that ever since the third treasure array had overlaid successfully and opened the secret realm, Mo Ya and Chi Xing had frequently brought their people out to study.

“Little friend, you have to speed up. Regardless of whether I can avoid the Haotian’s mirror or not, this old man has to rush into the Immortal Realm before the Great Divine Cultivator s from the foreign forces truly descend on the Nine Links Star Palace!”

This time, Daoist Jiu Si did not hide anything and directly told Yang Junshan his goal, even though Yang Junshan had already guessed this goal already.

“Is the situation serious?” Yang Junshan asked.

Daoist Jiu Si nodded his head, “Previously, this old man had my two disciples send people outside the Nine Links Star Palace to kill a group of Alien Cultivator s who came to ask about your whereabouts, but that was only a temporary measure. Now that two or three years have passed, I’m afraid those people from outside this region have already found out the whereabouts of this missing group of Alien Cultivator s, and will soon find them here. In fact, they are already headed here.”

Yang Junshan thought of what he saw before and hurriedly asked: “Earlier, Mo Ya and Chi Xing have been out many times, was it because of this?”

Daoist Jiu Si said, “That’s right, this old man has already tried his best to have them intercept and kill those people from the outside realms in different areas. However, this cannot be dragged out for too long.”

Seeing Yang Junshan’s thoughtful expression, Daoist Jiu Si asked directly: I wonder how little friend has been repairing the array?

With an “Oh”, Yang Junshan seemed to have just pulled back from his deep thoughts, laughed embarrassedly: “I’m ashamed, because the fourth and fifth formation are too missing, this junior is no longer able to recover them all. Now, I can only use the parts of the residual array that I can repair to increase the power of the immortal formation as much as possible.

It should be known that before you came, this old man had looked for three formation masters to help, but had only recovered 19% of the source strength s. Now, with the three formation combined, it has already recovered to twenty-eight%, and the power has increased by almost ten percent, and this is also why I did not add the fourth and fifth residual array s to the mix. Otherwise, thirty percent of the source strength s would already be a foregone conclusion.

Yang Junshan laughed: “Actually, this junior has also gained a lot from researching this immortal formation.”

“That’s your own ability!”

Daoist Jiu Si thought for a moment, then asked, “Is little friend still unable to find the remaining Inhibition Formations and Glyphs related to the Sixth and Seventh Formations in Stellar Cliffs?”

Yang Junshan heard it and shook his head: “Not a bit. Maybe it’s because back then, when the Stellar Cliffs collapsed, the sixth and seventh treasure formation’s traces had already been completely erased, or perhaps it’s because they’re from some other land, yet floated somewhere in the starry sky.”

“Sigh, whaity!” Daoist Jiu Si’s sigh carried an indescribable meaning.

“Yeah, whaity!”

Although he was unable to repair the fourth and fifth array, there were still remnants of the array formation that could be considered traces. In the future, if Yang Junshan’s Accomplishment of Array Path rose in power by leaps and bounds, she might have a chance to completely deduce the two array formations, and at that time, the power of the Immortal Formation would have a chance to increase a step.

However, the sixth and seventh treasure array didn’t have a single trace left behind, so Yang Junshan wanted to deduce the situation without any backing.

Yang Junshan was already sure that the Seven Stars Seven Apertures Sculpting Formation had a low starting point in the Immortal Formation, and its basics were very thin. It was precisely the type of array master that was most suited to him, who was trying to explore the secrets of the Immortal Formation.

After conversing with Daoist Jiu Si, Yang Junshan once again sped up the progress of cleaning and repairing the fourth and fifth residual array. It could be said that he had already displayed his current Accomplishment of Array Path to its limits.

However, in the end, the fourth formation could only recover abouhird of its original strength, and the fifth formation, due to the fact that there were fewer restrictions remaining, could only recover about a quarter of the original strength. Moreover, there were even many that were completely created by Yang Junshan based on the style of the formation he had repaired previously.

Therefore, Yang Junshan had no choice but to follow the original style of the Stellar Cliffs’s protective array and try his best to superimpose on the Formation System. Although this would destroy the original style of the array, especially for some array masters who pursued perfection in the art of array formations, this was simply blasphemy, but now, to Daoist Jiu Si, he had to try his best to obtain every single source strength, as for the resulting upheaval in the array style, as well as the growth of the consumption of resources, he had no choice but to do so.

In fact, after Yang Junshan had done all that he could, the source strength of the entire Stellar Cliffs had risen to thirty-four percent of their original strength. That was to say that the current Seven Star residual array possessed at leashird of the original power of the Seven Star Serial Immortal Formation.

“Is this the formation diagram?”

Daoist Jiu Si took a scroll from Yang Junshan’s hands and asked softly.

Yang Junshan nodded his head, and said: “That’s right, according to the rules of the array masters, after the array arrangement is completed, and the array diagrams for the entire Formation System are drawn, once the array diagrams are refined by the cultivators who control the array, and then a small change is made in the array, the entire Formation System will underguge change. At that time, the array masters who personally set up the formation would be helpless against the array formation.”

“It doesn’t matter if this old man succeeds or not, I’ll have to thank you for helping me!”

The formation diagram was being quickly refined, but in this process, Yang Junshan was able to feel an aura that was extremely similar to the time when he was refining the Pure Spirit Qi. This was the sign that the True Essence in Daoist Jiu Si’s body was slowly starting to have a qualitative change, and was beginning to evolve into a Divine Spirit Qi.

Outside Nine Links Star Palace, a large ship was approaching the Star Palace from the depths of the starry sky.

On the large ship, there were three Great Divine Cultivator s looking at an area formed by stars from afar. That was where the Nine Links Star Palace was located.

If Daoist Jiu Si and Yang Junshan were here, they would realize that although this ship was much smaller than the huge starship that had invaded the cultivation world before, the style of the ship was the same as always. Furthermore, the leader of the three Great Divine Cultivator s standing on the ship was a cultivator of the Huang Ting Realm.
