Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 433: Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation. The Future Sky Island Secret Realm. Immortal World plants that change the ecology of the Spirit World.

"It's finally here, it's really here."

"I actually obtained so many cultivation manuals."

"There are also cultivation methods for the Mahayana realm and cultivation experiences."

"There are even Rank Eight formations, Rank Eight talismans, Rank Eight alchemy, and Rank Eight artifact refining methods."

"This is simply obtaining a complete inheritance."

Zhou Sui was extremely excited.

He briefly examined his gains this time.

Without a doubt, his biggest gain this time was obtaining the complete inheritance of the Flying Crane Clan and finding the Sutra Pavilion of the Flying Crane Race, which hid a large number of techniques accumulated by the Flying Crane Race over generations.

These techniques naturally had little effect on True Spirits.

But for the current Human Race, they made up for the great deficiencies of the Human Race.

They completely improved the Human Race's inheritance.

Although many of the techniques of the Flying Crane Race were only suitable for the cultivation of Flying Crane Race cultivators, the principles behind their mastery of runes, alchemy, artifact refining, formations, and other cultivation arts were actually the same.

Different races would not produce different effects.

These cultivation techniques were all the result of various races exploring the laws of heaven and earth, imitating the power of heaven and earth.

So if the Flying Crane Race could use them, the Human Race could naturally use them as well.

"Eat them all, devour them all for me."

Without hesitation, Zhou Sui immediately handed over all the inheritance jade slips left by the Flying Crane Race to Book Gu to devour.

Book Gu was now at the Rank Eight Low Grade level, and its speed in digesting the inheritance jade slips was naturally incomparable to before.

With just a light scan, the knowledge inside the jade slips was instantly copied and transformed into a virtual book within Book Gu's body.

At the same time, the jade slips instantly shattered, and all the essence and knowledge inside were devoured by Book Gu and claimed as its own.

Boom!

In an instant, the vast knowledge flooded into the depths of Zhou Sui's sea of consciousness, allowing him to completely understand the extent of the inheritance knowledge mastered by the Flying Crane Race.

"The Flying Crane Race actually collected so many Rank Eight formations."

"So that's how it is, they are ambitious, not just building one Secret Realm world."

"They want to build at least three Secret Realm worlds for the Flying Crane Race."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He instantly understood what the Flying Crane Race had been planning all along.

Obviously, for a Transcendent Level clan, having multiple hideouts was a basic requirement.

It would be too dangerous to only have one Secret Realm world.

Once the enemy becomes too powerful, with a large army pressing on the borders and blocking the entrance to the Secret Realm world, the Flying Crane Race can only be trapped inside the Secret Realm world and unable to come out.

Therefore, races with ancient heritage need to build several Secret Realm worlds.

Even if one of the Secret Realm worlds is besieged by the enemy, there are other Secret Realm worlds as a trump card within the race.

However, it is already extremely difficult for ordinary races to build just one Secret Realm world.

Not to mention building three or more Secret Realm worlds.

Without accumulating billions of years, it is simply impossible to achieve this.

But the Flying Crane Race has obviously achieved this. After accumulating over a long period of time, they have collected a large number of boundary stones and materials for Rank Eight formations, intending to open up new Secret Realm worlds.

Who could have expected that? Man proposes, but God disposes.

Before they even started building the second Secret Realm world, they unexpectedly provoked the True Spirit Xiangliu.

As a result, their own stronghold was invaded and the Flying Crane Race was annihilated.

The billions of years of accumulation by the Flying Crane Race were completely destroyed in an instant.

"It turns out that in order to survive in the Spirit World, one still needs the true power of a Spirit Level."

"Otherwise, no matter how smooth the development was before, as long as one is careless, years of accumulation can be destroyed in an instant."

Zhou Sui sighed.

To be honest, the Flying Crane Race's luck was considered good.

Being able to develop steadily for billions of years, although occasionally encountering some setbacks, overall, they did not suffer too much calamity.

If they could continue to develop steadily, the Flying Crane Race might be able to find other True Spirits, offer them worship, and become a True Spirit race.

Who could have expected that they would offend the True Spirit Xiangliu for no reason and end up being wiped out?

Years of planning all went in vain.

So, despite the smooth development of the Human Race now, it is only because they are too weak, and others simply don't pay attention to them.

If they develop to a certain extent without corresponding strength, their destruction is just a matter of time.

Therefore, no matter when, one must be vigilant and never take things lightly.

"Tsk tsk, but no matter what, the Flying Crane Race's years of planning have benefited me."

"The Flying Crane Race has collected a total of nine Rank Eight formations."

"They are the Green Wood Heavenly Formation, which can form the Green Wood Secret Realm; the Seven Gates Yin Yang Formation, which can form the Yin Yang Secret Realm; the Golden Capital Forbidden Spirit Formation, which can form the Golden Spirit Secret Realm; and the Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation, which can form the Thousand Marvel Secret Realm."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Obviously, each Rank Eight formation can form a Secret Realm world with infinite mysteries.

And they are all both offensive and defensive.

However, different Rank Eight formations will form different Secret Realm worlds, giving birth to different abilities.

For example, the Qingmu Zhoutian Formation forms the Qingmu Secret Realm. This Secret Realm can accelerate the cultivation of Spirit Medicine. The entire Secret Realm is filled with rich wood elemental energy and can form a medicinal garden.

The Jindu Forbidden Spirit Formation can form the Jinling Secret Realm. This Secret Realm will give birth to many ores and is filled with rich Ancient Gold Qi, making it very suitable for sword cultivators to practice.

However, for Transcendent Level races, they can freely choose from many Rank Eight formations to form their Secret Realm. Especially for the True Spirit race, they occupy a large amount of resources and have mastered many Rank Eight formations. Naturally, they can build whatever kind of Secret Realm they want, according to their own needs.

But for weaker races, they often have limited choices. They can only form a Secret Realm based on the formations and materials they possess. In any case, being able to form a Secret Realm is a good thing. It can become a refuge for the race.

As for the power and abilities of such Secret Realms, they have no choice.

"The most suitable Rank Eight formation for the Human Race, without a doubt, is the Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation."

Zhou Sui clenched his fist.

At first glance, he was attracted to this Rank Eight Middle Grade formation.

Once this formation is successfully set up, it will form the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

The entire Secret Realm world will have no land, only endless sky, while being able to give birth to countless clouds.

These clouds can support islands.

It can be said that if Qianmiao Secret Realm can form, within the Secret Realm world, an endless number of floating islands will be formed, and the creatures within the clan can live on these islands.

Of course, if it were only this, Zhou Sui would not be interested in this Rank Eight formation.

After all, other Rank Eight formations can achieve similar things, without anything special.

But the greatest mystery of this Rank Eight formation is its ability to continuously expand.

It has a certain degree of growth.

It is not the kind that cannot grow after being arranged.

Once successfully arranged, it will release endless white mist from the center of the formation, enveloping a sea area, and completely devouring the islands within the sea area, integrating them into the Secret Realm world, turning them into floating islands.

At the same time, the sea area covered by the white mist will completely transform into a white mist maze.

If enemies enter this misty sea area, they will be trapped within it, finding it difficult to find a way out.

At the same time, the exit of Qianmiao Secret Realm can be moved.

As long as one is in the mist, thousands of Secret Realm exits can be formed.

Of course, these Secret Realm entrances and exits can also be closed by the master of the Secret Realm, leaving only one.

But once in danger, the entrance to the Secret Realm can be opened, allowing the creatures in the clan to escape from the Secret Realm world.

It is basically impossible for the enemy to besiege Qianmiao's Secret Realm.

Even finding the entrance to the Secret Realm is an impossible task for the enemy.

"To be able to move the entrance to the Secret Realm, even if a Mahayana realm cultivator comes to kill, they won't be able to do anything to Qianmiao's Secret Realm." Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

If the Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation can be successfully arranged, the mist will cover billions or even tens of billions of kilometers of the sea area, but the entrance to the Secret Realm world will move within this tens of billions of kilometers of sea area.

The entrance to the Secret Realm may appear in the sky, in the sea, or on a reef.

In short, it could appear anywhere, it's practically everywhere.

Even if a Mahayana realm cultivator searches the heavens and the earth, it would be difficult to find the entrance.

He didn't believe that any Mahayana cultivator would be so bored as to spend a lot of time just to find the entrance to Qianmiao's Secret Realm.

Even if they were lucky enough to find the entrance, it could move the next second.

All the previous efforts would be in vain.

"This Rank Eight formation is perfect for the Human Race."

"Although there are so many Rank Eight formations, some are good at killing, some are good at defense, some are illusion formations, and some are trapping formations, only the defense of the Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation is strong enough."

"It can't be called defense, it should be called strong concealment."

"If the entrance to the Secret Realm can't even be found, it's like a fool's dream for the enemy to enter the Secret Realm world."

"And it can continue to expand."

"Even if the population of the Human Race increases in the future, there is no need to search for a second Secret Realm world."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Obviously, as the mist continues to expand, in the future, this formation may cover tens of billions, hundreds of billions, trillions of kilometers, becoming a true misty sea area.

It may even cover the entire Kunpeng Sea area, completely turning this sea area into Human Race territory.

But it's not easy to achieve this.

After all, for the Qianmiao Sea Cloud Formation to expand, it still needs energy support.

The so-called energy is the Spirit Vein.

Without the support of Spirit Veins, the Qianmiao Sea Cloud Formation cannot continue to expand.

If not, it wouldn't be a Rank Eight Middle Grade formation, but a Rank Eight High Grade formation, or even higher.

But now it's different.

Because Zhou Sui has mastered the Spirit Vein Flower, which is a natural artificial Spirit Vein.

When the Qianmiao Secret Realm devours islands, regardless of what kind of Spirit Vein these islands originally had, under the effect of the Rank Eight Spirit Vein Flower, they can evolve into Rank Eight Spirit Veins.

By then, all the islands in the Thousand Wonders Secret Realm can become Rank Eight islands.

Afterwards, the Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation will receive support from numerous Rank Eight Spirit Veins.

In this way, even if a true spirit powerhouse were to attack, they would not be able to harm the Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation.

After all, with the abundant energy reserves of numerous Rank Eight Spirit Veins, it is equivalent to having unlimited energy.

Even if a true spirit were to exhaust themselves, they would probably not be able to destroy the Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation.

True spirits may seem invincible, but their mana is also limited and cannot compare to the numerous Rank Eight Spirit Veins.

It can be said that this Rank Eight formation and the Spirit Vein Flower complement each other perfectly, with endless mysteries.

They are a perfect match.

"Once successful, the Spirit World Human Race will truly be as stable as Mount Tai."

"Even if future generations are unfilial and talent withers, without the birth of Mahayana cultivators."

"But as long as the Thousand Wonders Secret Realm is here, it can continue for thousands of generations."

Zhou Sui was very excited.

He increasingly realized the importance of formations. Among the myriad of cultivation arts, formations were the most important. This evaluation was indeed a well-known truth.

Other skills could only change a small part of people.

Only formations could truly protect a clan, connect heaven and earth, and last for eternity.

"However, the Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation is powerful, but the truly powerful thing is the Immortal World plant, the Spirit Vein Flower."

"This is the essence of formations."

"If there were no Spirit Vein Flowers, the power of this formation would not be able to reach its peak."

"It's like various technological advancements in the previous life, but without oil and electricity, all technological products are useless. This is the importance of energy, the mother of industry, the source of everything."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

He sensed the horror of Immortal World plants. For the lower realm, they were simply a dimensional strike.

For example, the Evergreen Vine could dominate a realm, devour and merge worlds at will.

The Parasol Tree could nurture phoenixes and condense the Strange Fire of heaven and earth.

Such divine trees were well-known for their power.

The Six Desires Worldly Tree could release the Six Desires Worldly Qi and condense the Six Desires Worldly Fruit.

Although it may not seem like much now, its power would be unimaginable when it reached its peak.

The Spirit Vein Flower could form an artificial Spirit Vein and gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Although a single Spirit Vein Flower may not be much, when thousands of them were combined, it was truly astonishing.

This was a miraculous flower that could change the world.

Regardless of which type of Immortal World plant it was, they all contained boundless power.

He felt that they were like foreign species, with strong vitality, easily transforming and eroding the world, even forcibly distorting the ecology of the lower realm.

"This power is somewhat similar to the Gu worms nurtured by the Divine Gu Bowl."

"Undoubtedly, these Immortal World plants also contain the power of laws."

That's why they were so terrifying, easily integrating into the world and even mobilizing the power of the world's laws.

Zhou Sui clenched his fist.

He was somewhat relieved that the Immortal World plants he had obtained so far were beneficial to the Spirit World's ecology.

If he had obtained those harmful Immortal World plants, it would probably have caused devastation.

Even the extinction of a realm.

Causing irreparable damage to the Spirit World.

However, if he wanted to successfully set up the Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation, it was not that simple. He still needed a large number of Rank Eight formation materials. Otherwise, just having the blueprints would not be enough to complete the project.

It was like a hydropower station. Having the blueprints was only the first step.

The construction and various materials that followed were the more important things.

The same applied to setting up formations.

And it also required a lot of time.

"Under normal circumstances, finding the materials needed for a Rank Eight formation would require a race to prepare for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years."

"But now it's different."

"The Flying Crane Secret Realm left behind many Rank Eight formation materials prepared by the Flying Crane Race in the past."

"Which means, I don't need to prepare other Rank Eight formation materials."

"Just within the Flying Crane Secret Realm, there are already a large number of Rank Eight formation materials."

"For example, the core material of the Rank Eight formation, the boundary stone, the Flying Crane Race has prepared enough for two Rank Eight formations."

"I don't need to search elsewhere."

Zhou Sui felt very pleased as he counted the large number of materials he obtained from the Flying Crane Secret Realm this time.

Clearly, occupying the Flying Crane Secret Realm had tremendous benefits.

It was equivalent to obtaining the wealth accumulated by a race for billions of years, saving him countless efforts.

It was like using the Flying Crane Race's treasures to help the Human Race build their base.

It should be noted that the boundary stone was one of the most precious materials in the Spirit World. It contained unique temporal and spatial power, like a fragment of a world, extremely precious and indestructible.

Even a single boundary stone was priceless.

This was a rare material that money couldn't buy.

Because it was not born from the world itself, but collected by Mahayana cultivators in the boundless void.

Boundary stones, in fact, are fragments of the world.

In the endless void, there exist countless worlds, like infinite numbers.

But these worlds are not eternal.

Sometimes, these worlds will enter a state of destruction due to various factors, resulting in the shattering of the world.

When the world shatters, a large number of world fragments will appear.

Some of them will merge into the void, while others will scatter throughout the void.

Over time, these world fragments, after countless years of erosion by void storms, will form unique boundary stones.

When some Mahayana cultivators travel through the void, they will find these world fragments in the depths of the void.

So, apart from Mahayana cultivators, almost no one can obtain boundary stones.

In the past, in order to obtain these boundary stones, many Mahayana cultivators of the Flying Crane Race ventured into the void, collecting for countless years and experiencing the accumulation of generations of Mahayana cultivators, finally collecting the boundary stones needed for two Rank Eight formations.

It can be imagined how difficult it is to obtain boundary stones.

"If it weren't for obtaining the treasure of the Flying Crane Race, it would be almost impossible for me to build a Rank Eight formation."

"Only Mahayana cultivators can venture into the void and obtain Rank Eight materials."

"But weak races only have one or two Mahayana cultivators, where is there room for that?"

"Just protecting the race already requires tremendous effort."

"Only those Transcendent Level clans that can produce dozens of Mahayana cultivators have the possibility of allowing many Mahayana cultivators to venture into the void and search for a large number of rare resources in the depths of the void."

Zhou Sui also realized the difficulty of building a Rank Eight formation.

It's no wonder that the Human Race has only had one Secret Realm world and one Rank Eight formation in the Spirit World for tens of millions of years, and it's not just because Rank Eight formation masters are hard to come by.

It is also because Rank Eight formation materials are difficult to collect.

"Wait, boundary stones? Why are they so familiar?"

"It seems like I've seen them somewhere."

Suddenly, Zhou Sui saw some sparkling boundary stones in his hand and frowned.

He saw some unique images flash in his sea of consciousness, as if he had seen them before.

To be honest, this was not the first time he had seen boundary stones.

He had encountered them many times before, and he even had many similar ores himself.

"That's right, I remember now, it's the Mysterious Yellow Sect."

"It seems that the Mysterious Yellow Sect's treasure trove has collected many similar ores."

"It seems that after capturing a number of middle thousand worlds, the Mysterious Yellow Sect also collected a large number of void ores from the endless void."

Among them, there are some unique ores that are extremely strong and indestructible, but their purpose is unknown.

Those unique, crystal-like ores are boundary stones.

"Now, inside the treasure vault of the Mysterious Yellow Sect, there is an enormous pile of such minerals."

Zhou Sui clenched his fist.

He felt very excited, as if he had traveled all over the world without finding anything, and now he had obtained it effortlessly.

Before, he thought that the Boundary Stones were difficult to find and required delving into the void to locate them.

Even if he advanced to the Mahayana realm, it would still take a lot of time to collect numerous minerals.

Little did he know that he didn't need to take action at all, because the Immortal World's plant, the Evergreen Vine, was an expert in this field.

Its countless vines merged into the depths of the void and occasionally brought back some treasures from there.

The Evergreen Vine not only captured many treasures from the thousands of worlds, but also captured some treasures from the depths of the void.

During this period of time, it seemed that the Evergreen Vine had caught a large number of Boundary Stones.

It's just that because the grade of the Boundary Stones was too high, no one could use them except for the Rank Eight Formation.

That's why they were put into the treasure vault, but this kind of practice was simply a waste of precious resources.

Of course, for now, he couldn't return to the Mysterious Yellow World temporarily.

So even though the Mysterious Yellow World had collected a large number of Boundary Stones, he couldn't use them now.

But once he advanced to the Mahayana realm, he could return to the Mysterious Yellow World at any time.

Therefore, returning to the Mysterious Yellow World was just a matter of time.

Even within the Mysterious Yellow Sect, he could use the power of the Boundary Stones to set up a Rank Eight Formation.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Mysterious Yellow Sect seems to have no enemies now.

But it's better to be safe than sorry, and not wait until a disaster happens to say that one is not prepared.

"However, for the Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation, besides the Boundary Stones and many Rank Eight materials, there is another crucial material, which is the Sea Cloud Stone."

"This is also a unique Rank Eight material, containing the power of the sea and the power of clouds and mist."

"It only appears in certain dangerous places in the Broken Star Sea."

"For now, as long as enough Sea Cloud Stones are collected, the construction of the Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation can begin."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Although the Flying Crane Race had collected materials for the Rank Eight Formation, they had no intention of building the Thousand Wonders Sea Cloud Formation. Instead, they planned to build the Seven Gates Yin-Yang Formation, so they didn't collect many Sea Cloud Stones.

But that didn't matter either.

To obtain so many materials for the Rank Eight Formation from the Flying Crane Secret Realm was already a stroke of luck.

It was impossible for the Flying Crane Race to prepare everything for him.
