Chapter 1475 - 879: Return to Gui Xu, the Old Azure Dragon’s Shock
Chapter 1475: Chapter 879: Return to Gui Xu, the Old Azure Dragon’s Shock
The starry sky is vast and boundless.
Lu Qing’s Divine Thought Avatar quietly hovered in the void, gazing at the magnificent Xinghe ahead.
It was a gigantic band of light stretching across the starry sky, composed of countless stars, slowly rotating and emitting a misty glow.
Within the band, the trajectories of the stars were extraordinarily mysterious, as if each star was being guided by an invisible hand, moving along a specific orbit, faintly forming an unimaginably massive array.
It was precisely the Star River Formation personally set up by Gui Xu Taoist years ago.
A Supreme Array used to protect the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.
This array was the life’s work of Gui Xu Taoist, created with three hundred and sixty-five main stars as the core, supplemented by 129,600 auxiliary stars, mirroring the number of celestial bodies in the Zhou Tian circulation.
Once the array is activated, it can draw upon the Star Power of the Zhou Tian celestial bodies, forming an impenetrable barrier.
With this array as protection, even a Transformation Immortal would have difficulty breaking through and entering the Returning Ruins Secret Realm.
Lu Qing looked at this grand array with some emotion in his heart.
Speaking of which, the time he had left the Returning Ruins Secret Realm was not particularly long, not even a hundred years.
For cultivators, this amount of time is but a fleeting moment, not even enough to close oneself off for a long retreat.
Those old monsters that have lived for tens of thousands of years could take a nap longer than that.
But at this moment standing here, he felt a sense of vicissitude.
In less than a century, he had experienced so much.
From the Heavenly Origin Great World to the Chaotic Star Sea, from the Six Tribulations of Primordial Spirit to the Unity Realm Stage, from being hunted by the Black and White Temple to counterattacking and killing six old devils of the Unity Realm Stage, from exploring the Dark Abyss to witnessing the corpse of a Mysterious Transformation Great Power...
This short span of decades was more thrilling than the several hundred years preceding it.
"I wonder what expression Elder Azure Dragon and others will have upon seeing me."
Lu Qing’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile with a hint of mischievousness.
When he left the Returning Ruins Secret Realm back then, he was only at the Six Tribulations of Primordial Spirit.
Although Elder Azure Dragon and the others held high hopes for him, they probably did not expect his cultivation speed to be so rapid.
In just a few decades, he had already stepped into the Unity Realm Stage.
After all, even he hadn’t anticipated this cultivation speed.
Presumably, Elder Azure Dragon and the others should be even more astonished.
Lu Qing reined in his thoughts and looked once more at the Star River Formation ahead.
When he first came here, his cultivation was still shallow; though he had a decent understanding of arrays, he still found this grand array perplexing, only knowing it was extremely profound without understanding its intricacies.
At that time, he was like a mortal standing at the foot of a towering peak, admiring its grandeur and magnificence but unable to comprehend its true mystery.
Now that he had achieved Unity, his perspective and understanding were incomparable to before.
Looking at the array again, he could perceive some of its mysteries.
The trajectories of the stars did not occur randomly but mirrored the rules of the Heavenly Dao’s operation.
The position of each star, the flicker of each glow, corresponded with certain rules in heaven and earth.
The three hundred and sixty-five main stars corresponded to the three hundred and sixty-five degrees of the Zhou Tian circulation.
The 129,600 auxiliary stars corresponded to the number of heaven and earth.
They intertwined and resonated with each other, forming a complete and intricate system.
The pattern of the light’s flicker was not merely a simple change of brightness.
Each flicker represented a breath, an inhale, and exhale of the array.
It was absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the starry sky and the energy of the Endless Void, maintaining its operation.
The brightest spots of light were often key nodes of the array, centers where power converged.
The technique of space folding was extraordinarily exquisite.
Gui Xu Taoist folded and compressed countless layers of space, embedding them into the array, making it appear as though there was only a thin layer, yet it contained endless space within.
If outsiders recklessly intruded, they could easily be trapped in these folded spaces, eternally lost.
Furthermore, terrifying space storms lurked within, appearing from time to time.
Once touched, even a powerhouse of the Unity Realm Stage could easily be devoured.
Precisely due to the protection of this Star River Formation, no one has dared to forcibly enter the Returning Ruins Secret Realm for hundreds of thousands of years.
The more Lu Qing observed, the more he admired.
The attainment of Gui Xu Taoist in the Dao of Arrays truly reached an unimaginable level.
This Star River Formation could be said to be the culmination of his life’s work, the masterpiece of his Dao of Arrays.
When he received the legacy in the Returning Ruins Secret Realm, he had once downloaded all the Gui Xu Taoist’s array inheritance using Superpower.
Those inheritances, including foundational array knowledge, array formation techniques, formation-breaking essentials, array evolution, and more, were vast and profound.
Although due to his cultivation level, he only comprehended the Primordial Spirit level of array inheritance and hadn’t yet had the chance to comprehend the Unity Realm Stage level.
But the consistent array theory, coupled with the transformation of his realm, still allowed him to understand part of the Star River Formation.
"Perhaps, this time I might be able to enter without using the Identity Jade?"
A thought arose in Lu Qing’s mind.
He did not rush to act but stood quietly outside the array, slowly comprehending.
Although he was now just a Divine Thought Avatar and could not use Superpower, his realm and comprehension were identical to his main body.
The array inheritances he once comprehended now resurfaced one by one in his mind, corroborating with the grand array before him.
Time quietly passed.
