Chapter 216, Array Master
After discussing matters concerning the Starry Sky Lord and the Abyss of Purgatory with the Lord of Chaos City, Ye Muxuan also met with the twenty-five immortal members of the Qingyuan Clan to arrange matters within the clan.
Adding the ten million years he spent in Qingyu Valley, the Qingyuan Clan has been out of the secret realm for over fourteen million years. During this time, four more Realm Lord Elders have broken through to Immortality on their own—including two clansmen who came out of the secret realm initially. The elders unanimously agreed that once the Qingyuan Clan produces another Venerable besides the Clan Chief, the threshold for the Council of Elders will be raised to Immortality.
Of the clansmen who originally emerged from the secret realm, including Zhongli, only thirteen remain as Immortals. The rest of the clansmen haven't even reached the Realm Lord level and will perish after reaching the end of their lifespan. As for those clansmen who broke through to the Realm Lord level, even if they couldn't break through to Immortality on their own, Ye Muxuan used treasures to forcibly elevate the nine clansmen who had gained the recognition of the Origin Law to Immortality.
The addition of the Star Lord not only strengthens the Hong Alliance, but also makes the Shadow Blade Lord even more powerful, further enhancing his reputation among humans and the Hong Alliance.
With the Star Lord overseeing the Abyss of Purgatory, even if he is only acting as a figurehead, his strength as a top-tier cosmic overlord is enough to suppress all those who dare to disobey.
During this time, the Palace Master of the Celestial Eclipse Palace also came over and had a conversation with the Lord of the Star Enclosure. He has a special rock-type life form avatar, similar to the Lord of the Star Enclosure.
However, compared to the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master, a top cosmic overlord who has been famous for billions of epochs, the Star Enclosure Lord is still much more immature in all aspects, and he has benefited greatly from this exchange.
However, Ye Muxuan didn't care about these things. After handing over the high-level palace treasure, the Rock Prison, to Lord Xingyuan, he began to devote himself to studying the basics of formations.
A single period of dedicated cultivation by the Lord of the Universe can easily last for thousands or even tens of thousands of epochs. The Lord of Chaos City has already prepared for the Lord of Shadow Blade to remain silent for hundreds of millions or even billions of years without ever making a move.
However, less than a million years after Ye Muxuan's conversation with him, Ye Muxuan's Huang clone made a move in a dangerous place in the inner region of Liuzhong Mountain, directly capturing a newly promoted Universe Lord of the Prison Clan who was protected by two top-tier fourth-order Universe Lords.
According to intelligence reports that came out afterward, when the two sides decided to fight, the Shadow Blade Master's Huang clone did not even use any weapons or treasures. He simply stretched out his hand, his five fingers covering the sky, and grabbed the enemy with one move. He then threw him into the Wind and Thunder Tower to suppress him.
Also present were two Universe Lords from the First Cycle Era, one Human Universe Lord from the Second Cycle Era (humans in the First and Third Cycle Eras were both peak races, but humans in the Second Cycle Era only had one strongest individual and were not considered a peak race), and two Universe Lords from the Purple Moon Holy Land.
Defeating them is easy, killing them is hard, capturing them alive is even harder.
Perhaps because of this formidable record, no cosmic lord dared to compete with Huang Jue's avatar for the ultimate treasure that finally emerged from that dangerous place. In the end, the Prison Clan even had to pay with an ultimate treasure to redeem that unfortunate cosmic lord.
I don't know if it will leave me with psychological trauma.
The main reason is that, compared to the other three races, the Crystal Clan and the Prison Clan do not have any irreconcilable hatred with humans; otherwise, Ye Muxuan would not care about a top-tier treasure.
Over the past tens of millions of years, after the Aurora Palace Master was rescued, the Giant Axe Founder, the Chaos City Master, and other human universe masters, along with some Hongmeng universe masters, focused their exploration on Liuzhong Mountain, while the other two forbidden zones slowed down. Now that the Shadow Blade Master has revealed this move, this place has become a gathering point for Hongmeng universe masters in the inner domain.
Jade Valley.
The Azure Jade Pagoda, the first main hall, the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws. The branches and leaves of the newly sprouted Azure Jade Bamboo swayed unconsciously, and then finally left this place.
Millions of years have passed, and he has finally sorted out all the knowledge of the 16458 most basic memory stones, and finally has a relatively clear understanding of the art of formations.
The most commonly used formations, including large-scale killing formations, illusion formations, trapping formations, and mind formations, can be broadly divided into two categories. One category consists of formations fixed in certain locations, which can be set up by formation masters or naturally formed, and are called formation bases. Examples include sect grand formations, city grand formations, illusion formations within sects for disciples to train, and grand formations formed by combining natural perilous terrain with mountains, rivers, and celestial bodies.
The second type is the array that can be moved or even carried, such as sword arrays, escape arrays, killing arrays, etc. These arrays are often made by selecting extremely precious materials or even engraving arrays on treasures. They are also called array plates. When needed, you only need to activate the array plate to unleash its power.
This is why not many people dare to trespass into the territory of an array master, because who knows how many arrays he has set up on his territory or even on himself.
What he had previously inscribed on those stone pillars was a rudimentary secret pattern of a "suppression and sealing" formation. Those stone pillars were the fixed base of the formation, only able to trap those universe masters who did not understand formations. However, as long as one became the strongest in the universe, one could naturally break through the seal and escape by force.
Now that he has mastered a lot of theoretical knowledge, Ye Muxuan is eager to inscribe some basic formations to test their effects.
Beside the Hall of Myriad Laws stands a large, purple-gold gate, which leads to the Hall of a Thousand Stars, where a vast amount of various materials were taken with them when they fled the sect. Although the elders who passed on their skills had used some during their escape, it was still more than enough for a novice disciple like Ye Muxuan.
Like alchemists, chemists, and mechanics, setting up an array also requires a large amount of materials to inscribe the law runes and form the array base. There are strict requirements for various materials. You can't use a piece of Chaos Gold Crystal to inscribe the base of an illusion array. It's not that it's impossible, but it's a waste of resources. A Dreamlike Celestial Crystal of the same size and value will produce an illusion array base that is at least ten times more powerful. And if it's a killing array, Chaos Gold Crystal is at least seven times more lethal than Ultimate Wood Spirit Crystal.
The Thousand Stars Palace opened, and Qing Yuzhu entered, where she saw materials piled up to form vast continents.
Disorganized and disorderly.
The newly born Qing Yuzhu dared not be careless. He only recognized the names of most of the materials here when he received the inheritance, and he only had a superficial understanding of their various properties. More importantly, many things here were beyond the level that the strongest beings in the universe needed to know. Even though he had seen the later parts of the inheritance and they were in his memory, he found that he could not say them, or even "remember" that he already knew them.
This is interference from the primordial will of the universe!
Therefore, he can only choose the weakest, most basic, and most common materials he knows as the carriers for inscribing the array patterns.
That is, the array base and the array plate.
