C1168 Extreme
The refinement of a dao halo pill was extremely difficult. In fact, from the moment a cultivator started cultivating to reaching the Golden Hall Realm, he might not even be able to gather all of the heaven and earth treasures needed to refine a dao halo pill.
However, in this secret realm that was placed in front of the four of them, the natural treasures contained within were enough to be used to refine three batches of top-grade Dao-Pills.
Unfortunately, this pill obviously had nothing to do with Yang Junshan anymore. After obtaining the land gifted by Daoist Nine Heroes and copying the pill formula, he didn't have anything to do with the rest of it.
Of course, in terms of value, Yang Junshan's money was quite good. In fact, that egg-sized Earth Elemental Treasure was even more valuable than the Danyun Pellet.
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 could occasionally recall the secret realm. Even a cultivator of the Dao Realm might not be able to see all the treasures in the world, as well as the hundreds of array formations used to create different environments.
Fortunately, although he didn't have any destiny with the Heaven and Earth magic treasures and the Qi Dan, Yang Junshan was still allowed to enter and exit the secret realm at any time from Daoist Jiusong's place, so that he could study the mysteries of those miniaturized magic formations.
Among the four of them, only Daoist Nine Supremes remained calm. Perhaps it was because he was about to step into the Immortal Realm, but his entire knowledge and cultivation level was in a state of ascension, causing him to maintain a relatively aloof attitude when looking at everything. Although everything he discovered in the secret realm was enough to trigger a great war in the Universal World, Daoist Nine Supremes still maintained a calm state of mind.
However, Yang Junshan had some dark thoughts in his mind. To him, the calmness of the Nine Supremes Daoist seemed like an attitude of someone who had seen too many precious treasures, but was not at all surprised by the appearance of this secret realm.
The reason was very simple, the entire ruins of the Stellar Cliff were discovered by Daoist Nine Heroes. According to this immortal formation's size and the previous owner of this immortal formation, during the process of being excavated, there would be more treasures left behind than just one secret realm. Who knew how much benefits Daoist Nine Heroes would have obtained from this ancient ruins?
Most likely, even his honorary disciples, Mo Ya and Chi Xing, weren't aware of this, right?
Shaking his head to dispel some unrealistic thoughts, Yang Junshan once again focused all of his energy on the restoration of the Seven Stars Immortal Array.
Although the nine Daoists did not urge him to do so, Yang Junshan could tell from his daily activities that he was growing impatient. In this situation, perhaps the nine Daoists could no longer suppress their cultivation base, and the danger was approaching.
However, it was obvious that Yang Junshan was more inclined to the second possibility, because in the beginning, Daoist Jiu Ya had said that he could still survive for about twenty years before advancing to the Immortal Realm, but now, he hadn't arrived for fifteen years. However, another reason was that ever since the third treasure array had been superimposed and the secret realm had been opened, Mo Ya and Chi Xing had often taken their people out with them.
"Little friend, you must increase your speed. Regardless of whether or not you can dodge the Haotian mirror, this old man must break through to the Immortal Realm before the sacred art user from the foreign forces truly descends upon the Nine Links Star Palace!"
This time, Daoist Nine Supremes was no longer secretive. He told Yang Junshan about his purpose, even though Yang Junshan had already guessed his goal.
"Is the situation serious?" Yang Junshan asked in a deep voice.
"Previously, I sent two disciples to intercept a group of alien cultivators who came to investigate about you and me, but that was only a temporary measure. Now that two to three years have passed, those alien cultivators have already found the whereabouts of this group of alien cultivators and will soon find out where the Nine Links Star Palace is. In fact, they are already heading towards here."
Yang Junshan recalled what he saw earlier and quickly asked, "Earlier, Mo Ya and Chi Xing went out many times, was it because of this?"
The Nine Daoist said, "That's right, this old man has already tried his best to have them intercept and kill those alien cultivators in different areas. However, this cannot be delayed for long."
Seeing Yang Junshan's thoughtful expression, Daoist Nine Supremes asked directly, "I wonder how much has the array been repaired by little friend?"
Yang Junshan replied with an 'oh', as if he had just regained his previous train of thought. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I am ashamed, because the fourth and fifth formations are too missing, I can't recover all of them. Now, I can only use some of the remnants that I can fix to enhance the power of the immortal formations as much as possible."
The Nine Daoist smiled and said, "My friend, you don't have to blame yourself, you have already done well enough. Before you came here, I had asked three formation masters for help, but they had only recovered 19% of the formation source power, and now that the three formation techniques have been added together, the power has already increased by 28%. This is also the reason why the fourth and fifth formation together has not been added up.
Yang Junshan laughed, "Actually, this junior has also learned a lot from studying this immortal formation."
"That's your own ability!"
The nine Daoists thought for a moment and asked again, "Have you still not found the remnants of the sixth and seventh formation?"
Hearing this, Yang Junshan shook his head and said, "Not at all. Perhaps it's because after the collapse of the Starfall, the sixth and seventh treasure formations have been completely erased, or perhaps it's because of other remnants of the land, but they have already flown to somewhere in the starry sky."
"Sigh, what a pity!" The Nine Supremes' sigh carried an indescribable meaning.
"Yeah, what a pity!"
Yang Junshan had a look of regret on his face. Although he couldn't repair the fourth or fifth array, it could still be considered as a good sign that there were still some remaining array formations. In the future, if Yang Junshan's mastery of array formations improved by leaps and bounds, he might have a chance to completely deduce these two array formations.1
However, the sixth and seventh treasure arrays didn't leave even the slightest trace. Yang Junshan wanted to make the deduction without any foundation, but it would be difficult to do so.
Yang Junshan was able to confirm that this Seven Stars Rainbow Consecutive Immortal Array had a low starting point and a very thin foundation. It was the most suitable array grandmaster like him who tried to explore the secrets of the immortal array, but without two treasure arrays, he had to cut off his path of steady growth.
After conversing with Daoist Nine Soldiers, Yang Junshan sped up the progress of the fourth and fifth array remnants. It could be said that he had reached the pinnacle of his art of array formations.
However, the fourth array only recovered about a third of its original strength, and the fifth array was only able to recover about a quarter of its original strength due to the fact that there were fewer restrictions remaining.
Therefore, Yang Junshan had no choice but to follow the original style of the Star Cliff Earth Protection Array, and try his best to combine the two array fragments into the array system. Although this would destroy the original style of the array, especially for those array masters who pursued perfection in the art of array formations, this was simply blasphemy, but now, to Jiu Dao, he had to use all of his power to obtain even a single source of array energy. As for the resulting upheaval of the array style, as well as the increase in the consumption of resources, he couldn't care about it anymore.
In fact, after Yang Junshan did everything he could, the array's source energy had increased to 34%, which meant that the current Seven Stars Remnants Array was at least a third of the original array's strength.
"Is this the formation diagram?"
The Nine Daoist Priest took the scroll from Yang Junshan's hand and asked.
Yang Junshan nodded and said, "That's right. According to the rules of the array masters, once the array is complete and the array is drawn, once the array is refined by the cultivator who controls the array and a small modification is made to the array, the entire array system will change greatly. At that time, even the array masters who have personally set up this array will be helpless against this array."
"It doesn't matter if this old man succeeds or not, I'll have to thank you for helping me!"
After he had finished speaking, the Zhen Yuan in his hands, who was still holding onto the scroll, started to flow, and was quickly being refined. Yang Junshan, on the other hand, felt a very similar atmosphere as when he was refining the Pure Spirit Qi, which was a sign that the Zhen Yuan within his body had started to have a qualitative change, and was evolving towards the Immortal Qi.
Outside the Nine Links Star Palace, a large ship was approaching the Star Palace from the depths of the starry sky.
Aboard the warship, three powerful divine abilities were staring at the distant region formed by the stars. That was where the Nine Links Star Palace was located.
If the Nine Daoist Priest and Yang Junshan were here, they would discover that although this spaceship was much smaller than the huge spaceship that invaded the cultivation world, it was built in the same style. Moreover, the leader of the three sacred art users on the ship was a Golden Hall Realm cultivator, and he had an elegant bearing and a fan in his hand.
