The newly born Qingyu Bamboo selected several earthen-yellow metal blocks from the sea of materials. Then, it chose an open space, rolled up an earthen-yellow metal block with a jade-green bamboo branch, and began the first step of carving the secret patterns of the laws: shaping.
Most of the materials in the Thousand Star Palace are raw materials or preliminary blanks that have only undergone initial processing and cannot be directly inscribed with law patterns.
After all, each array master needs a different initial blank and different materials to inscribe the law runes each time, so they need to shape it themselves. Even iron ore can be refined into iron and steel for different uses simply by varying the carbon content. There are countless materials in the universe, and countless ways to process them.
A wisp of divine power merged into the earthen-yellow metal block in front of him; the purity of the cosmic venerable's divine power was sufficient to shape the material.
"For the first experiment, let's inscribe a sealing formation to test our skills." While working on the "Molten Gold" in front of her and shaping it into the form she needed, the newly born Qing Yuzhu was also considering.
Although he had gained some understanding of formations over the past million years, he was most familiar with the "seal" law runes on the stone pillars he had previously worked on.
Earth-molten gold is born deep within the miniature universes of the strongest beings in the universe, and not every miniature universe possesses it. Although it is a metallic material, it contains extremely strong suppressive energy, making it perfect for inscribing the law runes of the sealing array.
Unfortunately, while Earth-Melted Gold is precious and could even be used by a master craftsman to forge a supreme treasure, it is the most common material in the Thousand Star Palace.
It took thirty years of molten gold from three plots of land to be shaped into a small, exquisite three-story pagoda, with an overall earthy yellow color.
It no longer had a metallic feel, resembling a stone tower, and the mysterious aura emanating from it made even the newly born Qingyuzhu feel a slight sense of suppression.
The newly sprouted bamboo swayed its branches and leaves, exuding an atmosphere of joy.
It was just a rough prototype, not yet fully inscribed with the secret runes of the sealing law, but it already gave him the feeling that it was comparable to the Snowfield, the supreme treasure he had obtained from the underwater maze in the outer battlefield.
If the complete set of law-based runes were inscribed, it would probably be even stronger than a typical top-tier sealed treasure. After all, this kind of array plate is different from treasures; generally speaking, it only has one layer of runes, and once activated, it unleashes its maximum power. It doesn't have multiple layers of secret techniques.
Suddenly, he remembered the Time-Space Bead that Huang's clone was using. Could it have been carved by some powerful figure who had entered Qingyu Valley before, or perhaps it was an array plate carved by the Lord of the Demon-Suppressing Island?
After all, the Time-Space Bead is a treasure without detailed information or multiple secret patterns. Once activated, it controls a spacetime region. Although it is stronger than the Lord of the Universe, it is much weaker than the strongest being in the universe whose words can be obeyed. Therefore, the Time-Space Bead is an array plate based on the Lord of the Universe's ability to control spacetime. Considering all the information, it is indeed possible.
With this thought in mind, the newly born Qingyu Bamboo, a jade-green bamboo branch, did not stop. It used its divine power to form threads and began to inscribe secret patterns on the Earth-Melting Gold Pagoda.
Intricate patterns of laws were carved into the Earth-Melting Gold Pagoda. Once the last stroke was completed, the earth-yellow pagoda, which was originally only the size of an ordinary person's palm, instantly expanded in size, transforming into a three-story pagoda nine thousand kilometers high, which floated in front of the newly born Qingyuzhu.
This is the actual height of the Earth-Melting Gold Pagoda, and its aura is comparable to that of a top-tier treasure!
The newly sprouted Jade Bamboo swayed happily, surveying its novice creation with satisfaction. It was certain that even if it were currently trapped inside, it wouldn't be able to escape this sealing aura.
The continuous carving of the Law of Secrets over 350,000 years has caused the leaves of the Qingyu Bamboo to droop and become listless. Now, however, the finished product looks quite good.
The Azure Jade Palace is second only to the Hall of Myriad Laws in importance, and even more important than the Hall of Thousand Stars. If he were still within the sect at that time, a newly initiated disciple like Ye Muxuan wouldn't even be qualified to know about it.
At its peak, the sect possessed seven inheritance halls, naturally resulting in seven lineages. Within the Azure Jade Palace, one lineage left behind a testing space for assessing array formation levels, a cultivation space for directly accelerating time ten thousand times, a place to nurture one's own natal array plate, and a place to create one's own secret techniques.
Now, Qing Yuzhu, a new student, has entered the inspection space with her first work, just like a student who has finally finished her homework and can't wait for the teacher to correct it.
Upon entering the vast, empty inspection space, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, the most prominent feature is a platform with an octagonal recess on it.
As soon as the newly born Qingyu Bamboo entered, its original height of millions of kilometers was like that of an ordinary bamboo, only a few dozen meters high, and the small earth-melting gold tower that its bamboo branches were wrapped around was only the size of a palm.
"By placing the array plate inside the instrument, we can check the quality of the array plates inscribed by the sect disciples."
"Quality is comprehensively assessed from three aspects: material compatibility, array power, and activation difficulty. It is ultimately divided into nine stars, with each star further divided into five grades: scrap, ordinary, fine, exceptional, and unique."
A grand and vast voice echoed from within the inspection space.
The newly formed Qingyuzhu rolled up the small pagoda of molten gold and put it into the extraction slot.
A jade-green light rose and wrapped around the small molten gold tower, while the newly formed Qingyu Bamboo anxiously awaited the test results.
The level of excitement is comparable to a teacher announcing grades on the podium.
Three seconds later, a screen appeared above the instrument, displaying the test results. The newborn Qingyu bamboo swayed its branches and leaves, and its expression immediately became much more listless.
"Material compatibility: 1-star premium; array power: 1-star common; activation difficulty: 1-star common. Overall level: 1-star common."
Evaluation: Unsatisfactory.
Ye Muxuan's true form, far away in the abyss of purgatory, instantly turned pale.
Inside a certain space within the Azure Crystal Jade Pagoda, a pair of eyes focused on this scene in the inspection space, but after much deliberation, it still did not appear.
Besides the inspection space, there are many other mysterious spaces in Qingyu Palace, and the newly born Qingyuzhu has entered the cultivation space that can accelerate time ten thousand times.
Using time acceleration ten thousand times for cultivation is an extremely extravagant affair. It's typically only possible within the small universes of the strongest beings in the universe; most Time Palaces only offer accelerations of a few hundred to a thousand times. Especially for immortal beings and universe lords with infinite lifespans, it's practically unusable, as the energy consumption is too great.
If a large number of disciples were to enter the cultivation space, it would require a massive energy consumption, which the Azure Crystal Jade Pagoda itself simply could not handle. However, since only Ye Muxuan is currently inside, it can be easily maintained, as the Azure Crystal Jade Pagoda can absorb enough energy from the chaotic energy flow of the cosmic sea.
But Ye Muxuan didn't care; he wanted to study it carefully! The first array plate, which took 350,000 years to inscribe, was deemed unqualified!
Not up to standard!
He couldn't stand this injustice!
