Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 290: Boundless Mana!!! (4800 words, seeking subscriptions)

The people from the foreign land believed that victory would ultimately belong to Changsheng Tianmu, but Zhong Cang was unaware of their thoughts and had no interest in knowing.

At this moment, he was immersed in the wonderful state of unity between man and city while riding on the Floating Sky City, Qian Tian, which was funded by Zhong Cang and built according to his preferences. This Floating Sky City was extremely compatible with Zhong Cang's abilities. Moreover, Zhong Cang had roughly refined the crucial Law Weapon of the Floating Sky City, creating a connection that made him feel as if he was blending with the massive city, as if it was an extension of his own body.

Of course, the Floating Sky City was enormous, constructed from over ten thousand Law Weapons. Under normal circumstances, it would require hundreds of people to barely operate such a massive city, just like an aircraft carrier in the previous life that couldn't be operated by a single person and required thousands of crew members. Zhong Cang's Floating Sky City also required at least three thousand cultivators to fully unleash its power.

However, unlike the captain of an aircraft carrier in the previous life, as a cultivator, Zhong Cang had abundant mental power and could multitask. He could do the work of a hundred people alone. With his Transcendent ability and the large number of puppets equipped in the Floating Sky City, he could barely activate it by himself.

However, this activation was only a forced activation. From a general perspective, this was the normal situation. But something abnormal happened. A transformation in one of his abilities allowed Zhong Cang to unleash the majority of the Floating Sky City's power by himself.

"Xiao Qiong, report the status of the Floating Sky City, Qian Tian."

"Yes, master."

"Scanning... According to the scan, the transmigrate realm gate of the Floating Sky City has a protective shield and is undamaged. Energy consumption is at 3%, with 97% remaining energy and 200% reserve energy. Backup storage energy is at 500% (spirit stones)."

"Ding, according to the scan by Xiao Qiong, the external spiritual energy density is low, only one-seventh of Hongxuan Continent's. The Floating Sky City's recovery speed is slightly slower..."

"Ding, hostile demons detected. Please authorize the activation of the self-defense system, master..."

With Zhong Cang's command, a series of sounds rang in his ears. This sound wasn't because Zhong Cang suddenly gained a new system or his attribute panel underwent a change. It was something Zhong Cang comprehended on his own.

Hmm... Among them, every breakthrough in the attribute panel provided him with a moment of enlightenment, which helped Zhong Cang in some small ways.

By now, those familiar with him should already understand that this was a new characteristic obtained from a breakthrough in one of Zhong Cang's cultivation techniques.

Indeed, it was true.

When the branches of eternal life wreaked havoc in the mortal realm, Zhong Cang, who was in the higher realm, didn't spend all his time persuading the higher-ups of the sect. Most of his energy was still devoted to cultivating his techniques and giving lectures.

Although many people rushed to the mortal realm to support Zhong Cang due to the chaos there, there were still many people continuously coming from other realms just to listen to the mysteries of the Heavenly Heart, allowing Zhong Cang to gain a considerable amount of merit and enlightenment.

Afterward, relying on the merit and accumulation he had gained, Zhong Cang made a great vow and raised his proficiency in the Formation Dao to the peak of the third realm. Once he reached perfection, Zhong Cang set up a formation again, raising his proficiency in the Formation Dao by another point, reaching the level of a grandmaster in the fourth realm.

Naturally, at that moment of advancement, Zhong Cang fell into enlightenment once again. With his increased comprehension ability, he gained insights into some legendary formations, such as the Zhou Tian Starry Sky Formation, the Taiji Microcosm Formation, the Twelve Heavenly Capital Formation, the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, and the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation.

Originally, it was like this.

However, after realizing that he couldn't comprehend formations beyond the fourth realm, such as the Zhou Tian Starry Sky Formation, the Taiji Microcosm Formation, the Twelve Heavenly Capital Formation, the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, and the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, Zhong Cang lost interest in other formations. Under normal circumstances, if he wasn't interested, Zhong Cang could only comprehend formations since the enlightenment and inspiration from breakthroughs in formations could only be used in this area.

But who made Zhong Cang have the experience from his previous life and a wild imagination?

During his enlightenment, with his comprehension ability increased a thousandfold and the constant bursts of inspiration, Zhong Cang suddenly thought of something.

"I remember in the DND of my previous life, powerful mages often had mage towers, and each mage tower had a tower spirit. These tower spirits could assist the mages in managing the operation of the mage towers. These tower spirits... seem to be related to the manifestation of formation laws?"

"In the previous life, computers relied on various components, but their basic logic was based on binary code. This kind of operation rule could also be considered a type of formation..."

"Can the Heavenly Heart integrate with binary code, and can the tower spirit integrate with binary code and the Heavenly Heart?"

Note: The translation provided is a faithful representation of the original Chinese text. However, the context and meaning of certain phrases or sentences may vary depending on the larger narrative of the story.

These questions were all sparks of inspiration exploding in Zhong Cang's mind.

Of course, normally, inspiration is just inspiration, and it is extremely difficult to bring it to fruition.

But don't forget, at that time, Zhong Cang was in a state of enlightenment, and his own comprehension was a thousand times greater than usual.

Therefore, in this state, he was able to turn the impossible into possible and turn inspiration into reality.

He thought this way and acted accordingly.

In this way, relying on the inspiration from his previous life as a guide, combined with his greatly enhanced comprehension and the vast knowledge in his mind, Zhong Cang actually managed to create the Formation Spirit through his efforts.

The birth of the Formation Spirit contained the formula of binary code 01, integrated the concept of the Tower Spirit, and at the same time, it was also related to the Heavenly Heart. Zhong Cang separated a trace of his soul and spiritual essence, which served as the foundation for the birth of the Formation Spirit.

In fact, powerful blank souls can also serve as the foundation for the birth of the Formation Spirit.

However, Zhong Cang planned to have the Formation Spirit born in the Floating Sky City in order to ensure that he could smoothly control the Floating Sky City. He could only separate his own soul and spiritual essence and not use others'.

And all of the above were just preparations. To truly give birth to the Formation Spirit, the power of thunder and lightning was also involved.

As we all know, thunder and lightning are the hub of yin and yang in the world.

It not only possesses the power of destruction but also the power of creation.

Cultivators who transcend tribulation need the power of thunder and lightning to transform their souls from yin to yang.

For a Law Weapon to transform into a Law Treasure, it also needs to undergo the baptism of Thunder Tribulation and give birth to a trace of true spirit.

And Zhong Cang, relying on the rules of the world in the Hongxuan Continent, used thunder and lightning to awaken the Formation Spirit.

He succeeded. At the moment when the Floating Sky City was assembled, it triggered the descent of Thunder Tribulation.

Then, under Zhong Cang's guidance, the entire city was baptized by Thunder Tribulation.

Under the baptism of thunder and lightning and Zhong Cang's guidance, the formations engraved throughout the Floating Sky City merged into one, giving birth to a trace of core spiritual resonance.

The Formation Spirit, Xiao Qiong, was born.

This Formation Spirit is closely related to the Floating Sky City. If the city falls, the Formation Spirit will also perish.

But on the other hand, because of the perfect integration, the Formation Spirit also understands everything about the Floating Sky City and can serve as an assistant to Zhong Cang, helping him perfectly control the Floating Sky City.

Even after Zhong Cang leaves, it can independently maintain the operation of the Floating Sky City.

It can be said that with the Formation Spirit, even if Zhong Cang leaves, he can still remotely control the Floating Sky City.

As for betrayal, if other soul objects were used as the foundation for the Formation Spirit, Zhong Cang could only use restrictions to limit the Formation Spirit, which would indeed pose a danger of rebellion.

But now, the core of the Formation Spirit is the trace of spiritual resonance separated by Zhong Cang.

The fusion of the two makes it impossible for the Formation Spirit to betray.

"To think that the Formation Dao of the Four Realms has actually comprehended the Formation Spirit. I really didn't expect it, but it's very practical."

While Zhong Cang was feeling emotional, the Formation Spirit, Xiao Qiong, had completed the self-check of the Floating Sky City and, through the Law Treasure, Qian Tian Mirror, suspended at the top of the Floating Sky City, revealed the observed enemies.

Moreover, due to the integration of binary code 01, during its construction, Zhong Cang used a piece of Profound Heaven Stone as the foundation of the Formation Spirit (the companion of the Spirit Communication Profound Stone). The combination of the two made its computing power extremely powerful.

In a short period of time, it estimated the number of enemies and distinguished their strength through the observation of the Qian Tian Realm.

"Ding, reporting to the master, according to Xiao Qiong's detection, there are currently 370 million enemies, of which over 369 million are at the Qi Refining stage, and there are only a little over 100,000 at the Foundation Building stage, and all Foundation Building cultivators are incomplete in their abilities and lack much wisdom. It is recommended to attack from a distance..."

"Above the Foundation Building stage, there are 37 individuals..."

As a Formation Spirit, Xiao Qiong should only be able to self-check internally.

However, when building the Floating Sky City, in order to make it a perfect combat platform, various Formation Dao Sect masters, Refining Grandmasters, and Talisman Grandmasters equipped the Floating Sky City with various Law Weapons and more than ten Law Treasures.

And as the Formation Spirit (the spirit of the Tower City), Xiao Qiong can also use these Law Treasures, so besides self-checking, it can also perform various tasks with the help of Law Treasures.

For example, the Law Treasure, Qian Tian Mirror, has the ability to observe the vast world and shatter the void. The Formation Spirit, driven by this Law Treasure as its foundation, also gained this ability.

Even, in addition to the strength of the enemy, because of the state of Qian Tian, it also has the ability to observe weak points. The Formation Spirit Xiaoxuan also reported the enemy's weak points.

Just like now:

"Ding, after detection, nearby enemies all have resistance to thunder, resistance to fire, and the cutting effect of sword blades is not good..."

Xiaoxuan, the Formation Spirit, was reporting, while Zhong Cang burst into laughter.

"Perfect, with Xiaoxuan here, things are much easier for me."

After sighing, Zhong Cang did not listen to Xiaoxuan's advice, but prepared to Call the Wind, Summon the Rain.

"Buzz..."

As Zhong Cang had a thought, dark clouds gathered from all directions towards his position.

Due to the weak spiritual energy and the obstruction of something in this world's natural laws, which prevented it from being completely devoured by the Hongxuan Continent, Zhong Cang's power was somewhat suppressed in this realm. The wind, rain, and thunder he called forth were not too strong, only covering a range of about twenty miles.

However, a thundercloud covering more than twenty miles was already quite large, and Zhong Cang's spiritual consciousness trembled, bringing a power that overwhelmed heaven and earth.

This power was the reason why Shen Xuan and others found it difficult to breathe.

"Boom..."

The dark clouds pressed down on the city, as if about to crush it! Thick dark clouds hung low, as if the sky was collapsing. Dazzling lightning constantly churned within the dark clouds, making people feel uneasy.

This terrifying scene was enough to make ordinary people kneel on the ground and pray for forgiveness - dark clouds filled the sky, thunder roared, a scene of heaven's anger.

However, Shen Xuan and the Dragonkin, looking at the dark clouds, breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Xuan: "The Cloud Firmament Sect is already at its wit's end. The remnants of the Eternal Life Sect have already evolved. Thunder and lightning can no longer cause them significant damage."

Dragonkin: "Phew... scared me for a moment. I thought they had new abilities, but it turns out it's the same old tricks. If the Cloud Firmament Sect's reinforcements are only this much, they will be defeated."

Not only did these two not have high expectations for Zhong Cang's attack, but even the principal figure of the Cloud Firmament Sect below, Zhu Yin Perfected Being, frowned as he looked at the thunder and lightning filling the sky.

As soon as his figure moved, he flew up. He wanted to enter the Floating Sky City and inform Zhong Cang that the remnants of the Eternal Life Sect were not afraid of thunder and lightning.

However, before his body could fully ascend, a majestic and grand sound, "Buzz...", spread throughout the heavens and earth.

"Heavenly presence, shining upon the earth. Today, there are the followers of the evil god who do not respect the heavenly mandate and violate our territory. I, Zhong Cang, will act on behalf of heaven to punish them."

"Decree: Wind, rain, and thunder, gather here!"

As Zhong Cang activated the Heavenly Heart and recited the heavenly decree, more wind, rain, and thunder were drawn over.

And this was not the end.

At the same time Zhong Cang launched his attack, the Formation Spirit, upon hearing Zhong Cang's soul command, merged with Zhong Cang in a leap.

"Buzz!!!"

It merged into Zhong Cang's body, and the Floating Sky City also completely merged with Zhong Cang.

At this moment, with the assistance of the Formation Spirit, Zhong Cang felt that all the abilities of the Floating Sky City were like his own limbs, easily manipulated by him.

However, the current Zhong Cang had no intention of using these abilities. What he wanted was only one thing - the energy pool.

As a large city, a complete combat platform, the Floating Sky City naturally had its own energy core.

The Supreme Grade Law Treasure, Thunder Heart, was the energy core of the Floating Sky City, Qian Tian.

The so-called Thunder Heart was not the heart of a living being, but a treasure born from a medium-sized thunder world.

Within this Thunder Heart, there was nearly endless thunder energy. It could absorb energy from the unknown void through certain means, converting it into thunder power stored within the Thunder Heart or transforming it into thunder pool water.

In addition to energy from the unknown void, it could also absorb spiritual energy and convert it into thunder power storage.

As a treasure born from the world, the energy contained within the Thunder Heart was even greater than that of a Nascent Soul.

In addition to the cooperation of the Formation Grandmaster and the Refining Master, a power transmission system was arranged for the Thunder Heart, allowing the energy of the Thunder Heart to spread throughout the Floating Sky City.

They also built a Thunder Pool, allowing the excess energy of the Thunder Heart to be transformed into Thunder Liquid and stored in the Thunder Pool.

This allows the energy of the Thunder Heart, after being accumulated, to be several times that of the Nascent Soul.

It is only with such a precious treasure that the massive Floating Sky City can be driven.

At this moment, after merging with the Floating Sky City, the Thunder Heart can be considered as integrated into Zhong Cang's body, serving as his external power source.

Although Zhong Cang's cultivation level is too low and his output is not high, he is unable to fully unleash the power of the Thunder Heart.

But through the connection with the Array Spirit, Zhong Cang also possesses unlimited energy.

What will happen when Zhong Cang, who is already powerful, gains unlimited energy?

Soon, disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect, such as Shen Xuan, Dragonkin, and the remnants of the Longevity Clan, witnessed it.

"Boom..."

As Zhong Cang connects with the Thunder Heart and releases his power and spells recklessly, the spiritual energy in the far distance is also drawn in by Zhong Cang.

The violent thundercloud summoned by Zhong Cang expands rapidly with his boundless magical power.

Twenty li, thirty li, forty li, fifty li... eighty li, one hundred li!

In the end, an area of one hundred li in diameter is filled with dark clouds pressing down and thunder roaring.

This is still in the mortal realm, where the spiritual energy is thin and the heavens and earth suppress the power of cultivators' spells.

If it were in the native land of the Hongxuan Continent, Zhong Cang could even summon a vast thundercloud within a range of three hundred, five hundred, or even eight hundred li using the Floating Sky City, causing storms to sweep across the land.

Such a thing is quite exaggerated.

This kind of thundercloud storm with such power is not something that even a Foundation Building cultivator or a Gold Core cultivator, let alone a Gold Core perfection cultivator, can easily summon.

But exaggeration is normal.

After all, it cost billions of spirit stones to build the Floating Sky City for Zhong Cang.

And that doesn't even include the labor costs of the Array Masters and the Grandmasters of Refining Tools.

Moreover, ordinary cultivators, even if they have money, have no way and no qualifications to invite Array Grandmasters and Refining Grandmasters to help them refine tools.

Zhong Cang's Floating Sky City is a great treasure that can only be successfully built when the right timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony come together.

The cooperation of the Array Grandmasters and several Refining Grandmasters, along with the enormous cost, resulted in a city with such power. It would be strange if its power were weak.

"Boom..."

Although the thundercloud storm summoned by Zhong Cang in the Azure Ash World is not as vast and magnificent as in the Hongxuan Continent, at this moment, the dark clouds covering the sky envelop all the remnants of the Longevity Clan.

In addition to its vastness, the lightning within the thundercloud storm is also extremely dazzling and bright. Just looking at it gives a sense of majestic heavenly might.

Controlling this sky full of storms and thunder, Zhong Cang truly feels the power of being a Heavenly Emperor.

"I have grown up."

With this thought in mind, Zhong Cang, who is riding the Floating Sky City and towering in the sky, looks down upon the countless remnants of the Longevity Clan on the ground.

Although the number of remnants is still terrifyingly high, at this moment, Zhong Cang has no fear, only the determination to win.

How can a towering human fear the gathering of billions of ants?

"I heard that you have evolved the power to resist thunder and lightning, no longer fearing them?"

"If that's the case, let me see how perfect your evolution is!"

With a playful remark, Zhong Cang's palm suddenly waves downward!

"Boom!"
