Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 134: Invincible Prelude (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Under Old Qin's gaze, Zhong Cang took a step forward.

"A hum..." With his footstep, a massive illusion of Bagua composed of countless cloud patterns spread out from under his feet towards the surrounding earth and void.

Just with this step, Old Qin's eyes narrowed slightly.

He discovered that Zhong Cang's Bagua Heaven and Earth domain had a radius of 360 meters and a diameter of 720 meters.

This coverage area was already quite large, equivalent to several dozen football fields.

"The control range of this domain is definitely not limited to the eighth level of Qi Refining. This child Cang's soul is incredibly powerful. His greatest strength is not his cultivation!"

This fact was quite shocking to Old Qin.

Cases where the physical body and mental cultivation surpassed spiritual energy cultivation were not uncommon in the Immortal Cultivation World. However, in most cases, it was the physical body's strength that surpassed spiritual energy cultivation, and it was rare for the soul to surpass spiritual energy cultivation.

Not to mention that Zhong Cang's progress in spiritual energy was extremely fast, leaving even Gold Core Perfected Beings dumbfounded.

In this situation, for his soul strength to catch up to spiritual energy cultivation was not easy.

And now, it had actually surpassed it, which naturally shocked Old Qin.

After the shock, what remained in his heart was joy.

"Good, good, good... Originally, I wanted to remind Cang not to be so obsessed with improving his cultivation and to stabilize all aspects of himself. But now it seems that I was overthinking it. Cang hasn't neglected any of the three aspects: body, spirit, and soul!"

While Old Qin was feeling emotional, Zhong Cang, who had merged with heaven and earth, did not showcase his abilities as he had done in the past by controlling others' spells or bodies.

At this moment, Zhong Cang, who had merged with heaven and earth through his heart, truly regarded the heaven and earth (the heaven and earth within the Bagua domain) as an extension of his own body.

And within Zhong Cang's body, there was the presence of the 'Divine Sovereign' seated.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

With Zhong Cang's intention, the five 'Divine Sovereigns' within his body radiated brilliance.

As the internal changes occurred, the heaven and earth that were in harmony with his body also interacted with Zhong Cang's body.

"Buzz!!!"

Accompanied by the vibrating sound, Zhong Cang noticed that the Bagua cloud seal characters that had disappeared into the void earlier had now reappeared between heaven and earth.

At the same time, in these Bagua characters, five places were extremely bright.

Spiritual energy intertwined with the characters, and after a moment, "Roar!" "Howl!" "Yo..."

Accompanied by various sounds, the five spiritual shadows of the tiger, deer, monkey, tortoise, and fish manifested in the outside world.

The manifestation of the five spirits made Zhong Cang's control over heaven and earth, especially the five spirits, even stronger and more rounded.

This kind of thing is extremely normal - previously, although Zhong Cang merged with the heavens and earth, turning the external heavens and earth into his own body.

However, besides imprinting the heavens with his heart and possessing a "brain," Zhong Cang's external body of the heavens and earth is just an empty shell.

Now, the situation has changed.

The five beasts and five spirits have manifested in the external world, becoming the "internal organs" of Zhong Cang's external body of the heavens and earth.

With the assistance of the "five organs," Zhong Cang's extended body of the heavens and earth naturally becomes more complete, and his control over the heavens and earth becomes stronger.

At this moment, in the battle against Yan Lingdie, Zhong Cang is confident that with the assistance of the Flame Ape God Sovereign, he can easily strip off Yan Lingdie's Crimson Flame Battle Armor.

The same goes for other water, earth, wood, and metal spells.

However, the Five Organs Soul Formation allows Zhong Cang to have even stronger control, but a flaw still remains in the Bagua Domain - currently, he can only directly manipulate the five elements.

Although the five elements and the Bagua can both derive all things in the heavens and earth, it can be said that everything in the Three Realms belongs to the five elements.

However, this kind of derivation requires deduction and understanding, and Zhong Cang's understanding of the heavens and earth is still lacking due to his short cultivation time.

Therefore, within the Bagua Domain, Zhong Cang can still only control the five elements and the Bagua. If the enemy's spells go beyond the five elements, Zhong Cang will be unable to control them.

"I still need to continue cultivating."

After sighing, Zhong Cang, who imprints the heavens with his heart, puts this matter aside and begins to experiment with his other abilities.

Yes, the manifestation of the Five Organs God Sovereign in the external world is not the only gain from Zhong Cang's advancement this time.

Of course, those who are clever have already guessed the ability that Zhong Cang will demonstrate next - the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Great Array!

The Five Organs Divine Palace True Form Diagram, this cultivation technique can be said to have originated from the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Great Array, naturally possessing the effect of spirit gathering.

At this moment, with the manifestation of the Five Organs God Sovereign in the external world, when they are complete, they can naturally set up the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Great Array.

"Buzz..."

As Zhong Cang, who imprints the heavens with his heart, has a thought, the five "god sovereigns" instantly fall into their corresponding positions and start vibrating with a special rhythm.

"Buzz..."

When this vibration reaches a certain rhythm, with a loud bang, the auras of the five organs god sovereigns connect with each other, and a complex formation appears within the Bagua Domain.

Nesting formations within formations is not a simple matter and conflicts easily arise.

However, Old Qin anticipated this step when designing it, and as a master of formations, he can easily resolve conflicts in formations.

Therefore, the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation and the Bagua Formation do not conflict but instead complement each other perfectly.

"Nesting formations should be the thing that Master is best at. The Starry Sky Great Formation and the Water Moon Formation perfectly demonstrate this..."

After sighing, Zhong Cang realizes that with the connected auras of the manifested five organs god sovereigns, the five elements form a formation.

A mysterious suction force emerged in the middle of the Five Viscera Divine Lord.

Because it was arranged within the heavens and earth, this formation was particularly massive, and the suction force was more than ten times stronger than within Zhong Cang's body.

The majestic suction force caused the spiritual energy from the outside world to be drawn into the Eight Trigrams Heaven and Earth domain like rivers flowing into the sea.

Under normal circumstances, abundant spiritual energy is beneficial for both sides of a battle, as it accelerates their mana recovery and enhances the power of their spells.

This enhancement would bring the battling parties back to the same starting point.

However, the current situation was not normal.

At this moment, the spiritual energy gathered within the Eight Trigrams Heaven and Earth domain was under the control of the Heavenly Heart, merging with the heavens and earth. This meant that the spiritual energy within the Eight Trigrams Heaven and Earth domain could only be used by Zhong Cang, and others couldn't access even a bit of it.

Especially for the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Great Array, the attracted spiritual energy was mostly related to the five elements, making it even more inaccessible to the enemy.

"Buzz..."

The spiritual energy within the Starry Sky Archipelago was extremely abundant, allowing Zhong Cang to easily increase the concentration of spiritual energy within the Eight Trigrams Heaven and Earth domain to twice the normal level.

In this situation, Zhong Cang released the Five Elements spell - Call the Wind, Summon the Rain.

"Whoosh..."

"Splish splash..."

As soon as Zhong Cang had the thought, clouds gathered and rain poured down. After sensing it, Zhong Cang found that if he used the power of his spells under normal circumstances as a standard of 1, the range of his Call the Wind, Summon the Rain spell within the Eight Trigrams Heaven and Earth domain had expanded to twice that, reaching 2.

When the Five Viscera Divine Lord manifested, the spells were connected to the corresponding divine lord, so the power of Zhong Cang's spells would increase by another factor of 2, becoming 4.

Currently, with the abundant spiritual energy from the Five Elements Spirit Gathering, the power of Zhong Cang's spells increased by another two times, becoming 8.

And this was still the case now. If the spiritual energy within the heaven and earth domain became even more abundant, the power of Zhong Cang's spells would also increase accordingly.

What's more important is that this increase in power does not consume Zhong Cang's own spiritual power.

"One unit of mana, eight times the power... The Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram is indeed powerful."

After feeling emotional, Zhong Cang's mind moved again as he looked at the increasingly dense spiritual energy within the Eight Trigrams Heaven and Earth domain.

"Roar!" "Ao!" "Yo!"...

Under his divine consciousness manipulation, the Five Viscera Divine Lord, the Tiger, Deer, Ape, Turtle, and Fish, all opened their mouths and greedily absorbed the spiritual energy within the Eight Trigrams domain that matched their attributes. As they devoured it, their forms continued to expand and gradually condense.

Soon, the Five Viscera Divine Lord transformed from a shadow into a solid entity. Although they were only energy entities, they also possessed combat capabilities.

Moreover, with the gathering of a massive amount of spiritual energy, their forms grew to be eight or nine meters tall, resembling giant beasts and appearing extremely terrifying.

"Roar..."

Solidifying the Five Zang Divine Lords, gathering around Zhong Cang, making his power even stronger.

Seeing this scene, Old Qin nodded in satisfaction and contentment.

"The convergence of the Five Elements, the control of the Eight Trigrams, and then assisted in battle by the Five Zang Divine Lords. My calculations were indeed correct."

Below, Old Qin nodded in satisfaction, and Zhong Cang felt even more content.

In fact, even without the manifestation of the Eight Trigrams domain, Zhong Cang could still make the Five Zang Divine Lords manifest from the virtual to the real.

However, this consumed Zhong Cang's own mana.

Manifesting the Five Zang Divine Lords and maximizing their strength was another matter. If it could be achieved, Zhong Cang's mana would also be depleted.

In this situation, Zhong Cang naturally would not use the Five Zang Divine Lords. He was not a cultivator of the summoning path.

But now, this problem was solved. By gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condensing the Five Zang Divine Lords, Zhong Cang didn't need to pay much to obtain the five great guardian gods. It was a pure gain.

Thinking of this, Zhong Cang respectfully bowed to Old Qin.

"Thank you, Master, for passing on the technique."

"Hahaha... I'm also delighted. Without you, my technique would be difficult for anyone to cultivate, even if it could be passed down," Old Qin said with admiration for his disciple, while Zhong Cang was grateful that his master's technique could be inherited.

This mutual achievement made their relationship much closer.

In this regard, Zhong Cang felt even more grateful.

Because of the transmission of the technique, and also because of the abundant resources Old Qin had bestowed upon him, he truly regarded Old Qin as a father figure.

And for those who had shown kindness to him, Zhong Cang always believed in repaying a drop of water with a gushing spring.

Therefore, he began to contemplate whether he could heal his master's hidden injuries and help him achieve Core Formation again.

"Even if I can't achieve this, I will find some longevity treasures for Master..." Zhong Cang pondered how to repay his gratitude.

On the other side, when the Eight Trigrams domain dissipated, Old Qin also came to Zhong Cang's side and began to explain the next steps of his cultivation in the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Diagram.

"The convergence of the Five Elements, the control of the Eight Trigrams. Next, what you need to do is refine weapons. The first step is to refine the Five Elements Law Weapon."

"If each of the Five Zang Divine Lords has a personal Law Treasure that matches their attributes, not only will they form a stronger Five Elements Spirit Gathering Great Array, but they will also be able to gather spiritual energy from a wider range."

"The attack power of these treasures, which are in line with their respective attributes, will also be extremely formidable."

"At that time, with the support of the formation, each Divine Lord will not be inferior to cultivators of the same level, or even stronger!"

"Hmm... You can start by refining a shield or a turtle shell-type Law Treasure, and then offer it to the Mountainous Turtle Divine Lord for refinement and control. This way, your safety will be assured."
